Chapter 148 Talking with the Big Leader
Chapter 148 Talking with the Big Leader
He Yuzhu had just finished preparing a sumptuous meal. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and was about to leave the kitchen to rest. At this time, a guard came over and blocked his way.
The guard nodded slightly and said politely, "Master He, please wait a moment. The commander especially wants to have this meal with you today, and hopes you can stay."
He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then he smiled naively, nodded, and followed the guard to the restaurant. When he walked into the restaurant, he saw the leader sitting in the main seat. The usually dignified and busy figure now seemed approachable.
The big boss saw He Yuzhu coming in, smiled and pointed to the seat next to him: "Little comrade, please sit down. I'm alone at home today, and I want to have a meal with you to make it lively."
He Yuzhu was no longer polite and sat down openly, waiting for the leader to start eating. When the leader picked up the chopsticks and took the first bite of the dish, He Yuzhu also picked up the chopsticks and began to taste his own cooking.
The big leader looked at He Yuzhu while eating, and seemed to be quite interested in his reaction. Unconsciously, he ate one more bowl of rice than usual, then touched his slightly bulging belly calmly, picked up the teacup beside him, and took a sip of tea.
When He Yuzhu put down his chopsticks, the big boss looked at him, smiled and joked: "Little comrade, you have a good appetite!"
He Yuzhu chuckled, scratched his head, and showed a hint of shyness on his face: "Commander, it's mainly because the food today is too delicious. I accidentally ate too much. I'm really sorry to embarrass you."
The big boss couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing this, and his laughter echoed in the restaurant. He stood up, patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go to the living room and talk." After that, he took the lead to walk to the living room.
He Yuzhu followed the leader into the spacious and bright living room. The leader did not rush to sit down, but walked to the record player, gently turned it on, and put on a record.
The big boss walked back to the sofa, poured a cup of hot tea for He Yuzhu, and motioned him to sit down and drink. He Yuzhu took the cup, took a sip, and felt the fragrance of the tea filling his mouth.
At this time, the sound of the record player became louder and louder, and the passionate melody seemed to be telling the ups and downs of life. The leader looked at He Yuzhu and found that he was listening to the song seriously, with a thoughtful look on his face.
The big leader smiled and asked, "Why, little comrade, have you heard this song?"
He Yuzhu came back to his senses, shook his head, and said frankly: "Commander, I have not heard this song. I just feel a little uncomfortable when I listen to it, and I can't tell what I feel. This song seems to have a kind of power that makes people involuntarily immerse themselves in it and feel its joy, anger, sorrow and happiness."
The leader listened to He Yuzhu's words and nodded. The expression on his face became deep and solemn, as if he was touched by Tchaikovsky's Symphony of Fate. He said softly: "Yes, this is the magic of music, which can go deep into our hearts and evoke all kinds of emotions."
After saying this, the big leader seemed to want to get out of this sadness. He shook his head gently and said to He Yuzhu: "Okay, let's not talk about this topic. By the way, little comrade, I remember your name is He Yuzhu, right?"
He Yuzhu nodded respectfully and replied, "Yes, Chief, I am He Yuzhu. But everyone is used to calling me Shazhu."
When the big boss heard the nickname "Shazhu", he was slightly stunned, and then asked: "Shazhu? Why do I call you that?" There was a hint of inquiry in his voice.
He Yuzhu scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Well, this is the nickname my dad gave me. Everyone got used to it after calling it that, and I got used to it too."
The big boss couldn't help laughing after hearing this. He patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and said, "Haha, so that's how it is. Your nickname is quite interesting. However, I don't think you are stupid. On the contrary, you are very smart and capable. I can't praise your craftsmanship enough."
He Yuzhu was a little embarrassed by the compliment from the big boss. He scratched his head and smiled shyly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. He lowered his head slightly and said in a slightly nervous voice: "Thank you for the compliment, sir. I will continue to work hard."
The leader looked at He Yuzhu's simple and unpretentious appearance, and his heart was more appreciative, and his smile became brighter. He felt that he had some chess addiction, so he said to He Yuzhu: "Comrade He, I will call you Comrade He from now on, which is more intimate. Do you know how to play chess? Do you want to play a game with me?"
When He Yuzhu heard the leader's words, he showed a bit of embarrassment on his face. He scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Sir, I'm sorry, I have never played chess before, so I don't know how to play it."
The big boss was a little disappointed after hearing this, but he didn't show it. Instead, he said to He Yuzhu more gently, "It's okay. If you don't know how to play chess, you can learn. I'll give you a chess record. Go back and study it carefully. Come and play a game with me next time."
As he spoke, the leader took out a thick chess manual from the bookcase next to him and handed it to He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu took the manual and smiled gratefully. He solemnly assured the leader: "Don't worry, Chief, I will study hard. Next time I come, I will definitely not hold you back."
The leader was very pleased to see He Yuzhu's seriousness. He patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Okay, I look forward to playing chess with you. However, learning chess also requires patience and perseverance. You can't give up halfway."
He Yuzhu nodded and said with a firm look: "Chief, don't worry, I will definitely persevere." After that, he straightened his body and saluted the leader with a standard military salute.
Seeing this, the leader laughed out loud, and all the wrinkles on his face were smoothed out, looking particularly happy. He waved his hand and told the guard next to him: "You take Comrade He back, be careful on the road." After that, he turned to He Yuzhu and said: "Comrade He, let's talk next time. I look forward to your progress."
He Yuzhu stood up, responded respectfully, and then followed the guard out of the living room. When he reached the door, he turned back to look at the leader, his eyes full of gratitude and respect.
The guard took He Yuzhu to the door and opened the car door for him. After He Yuzhu got in the car, he said to the guard, "Comrade, can you take me to the street office to pick up my wife first, and then go back to the courtyard?"
The guard thought about it and felt that the leader just asked him to take He Yuzhu back, and did not specify a specific route. Besides, going to the street office was also on the way, so he nodded and said to He Yuzhu: "Comrade He, please sit down, and we will go to the street office first."
So, the car started slowly and drove out of the compound. He Yuzhu sat in the car, his heart full of joy. He thought that he must learn to play chess well, and next time he came, he must play chess with the big leader.
