Walk to Yuan Mei's house.

This is a newly built community, with modern landscaping, large arches of milky white Roman columns, fountain sculptures, straight boulevards, and flat flower beds around it, and towering high-rise buildings in the shadows of trees.

Walking to the gate, Chen Ke was stunned and said in a lost voice: So you live here?

Yuan Meisui smiled indifferently and said: Yes, in fact, I didn't live here before, but I bought it later. But I still like the original place, all acquaintances, there are no acquaintances here.

Chen Ke seemed to realize that he was a little out of shape, so he hurriedly covered it up, and said: No wonder you still go there to play cards.

Yuan Mei said: Yes, when people are old, they are a little nostalgic. There are places to play cards as well, but I still like where we play now.

Chen Ke also smiled and said: Yes, when people are old, it is really easy to fall in love with the old. When I first moved here, I didn't feel comfortable and didn't feel like I had any friends, but fortunately I got to know you all very quickly.

Yuan Mei said: Yes, when I used to work in a hot pot restaurant, I knew a lot of little sisters, but later the hot pot restaurant was closed, and the land was taken away, and now it has become a construction site. My little sisters are gradually losing their contacts. Over the years, some little sisters have walked and moved away, and I feel that there are fewer and fewer people around me who can talk. So I'm playing cards there most of the time now, and it's okay to stay at home anyway, but it's better to have someone there to talk to.

Chen Ke seemed to feel something, and said: Actually, I am too, I haven't played cards for a long time, but it's too boring, and now it's a return to the old business, but it's just playing cards to relax.

Yuan Mei said: You are amazing, I can't do it.

Chen Ke smiled modestly and said: Where, just play casually. Otherwise, that's it—

As he spoke, he arrived downstairs at Yuan Mei's house.

Yuan Meizheng was warm, where was she willing to follow, and said: Let's go, I've come to the door of the house, go to my house and sit.

Chen Ke seemed to be a little hesitant, but Yuan Mei was very enthusiastic and invited again and again. Chen Ke said: Then, it is better to be respectful than to obey fate.

Yuan Mei said: Anyway, there is no one in my family, you are also a friend of mine, it is normal to jump into the door, go up and have a cup of tea.

Entering the house, Chen Ke seemed to be polite, or a little reserved, and did not enter the door immediately, but stood at the door. Yuan Mei took his duffel bag in his hand, and then said enthusiastically: Come in, you're welcome, just sit casually. I've been gone for many days, and I have to boil some boiling water first. Feel free to do so.

Chen Ke took off his duffel bag, straightened his clothes, and then walked into the living room gently with his hands on his shoulders. While walking, he looked at the whole house, and said involuntarily: Sister Yuan, your house is very beautiful.

Yuan Mei said proudly: Oh, is it? My son got it for me, and I don't know anything.

Chen Ke couldn't help but nod and said: Well, the house is very good, isn't it too big to live alone?

Yuan Mei was boiling water in the kitchen, and when she heard him say, she replied in a loud voice: He also comes back once or twice a year, and the company's affairs are too busy in the past two years, so he comes back less, he doesn't come back, I will go to see him. It's the other way around.

Chen Ke smiled, walked to the balcony sliding door, stretched out his head and took a few looks, the double balcony, connected to the two bedrooms, the magnificent balcony planted with some flowers, and a sun chair.

Chen Ke couldn't help but be very envious and said: Okay, your son is very capable. Now young people are busy with their careers, and there is no way to do it, we as parents can only be more considerate and considerate of them. Sister Yuan, your balcony is very beautiful, and there are sun chairs to bask in the sun.

Yuan Mei washed her hands, went out of the kitchen, and came to him, saying: I don't sit on that chair, it's my son who likes to sit there and play with his mobile phone and drink drinks. He's gone, and there's no one sitting here. Section Chief Chen, can you sit down? Very comfortable. You can see the scenery in the distance, and from here you can see the mountains outside the city.

Chen Ke hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Oh, no, no." My waist is not good, this chair looks soft, it is definitely not suitable for me to sit. I can only sit in that kind of hard chair.

Yuan Mei asked with concern: What's wrong with your waist?

Chen Ke said: It's nothing, it's just that you can't sit on a chair that is too soft, hehe, it's also fate.

Yuan Mei no longer insisted on it. Chen Ke took his hands again, walked around, passed by the two bedrooms, and stopped at the door, without taking a step forward. Yuan Mei accompanied him and looked around the whole house. Chen Ke suddenly noticed that Yuan Mei had been following him, and it seemed that something was wrong, so he smiled dryly and said; Sister Yuan, look, do I want to-

Yuan Mei immediately said: Do you have something to do at night?

Chen Ke thought for a moment and said, "It's okay." However, you've just gotten off the long bus, and you're quite tired, and you might need to rest.

Yuan Mei said happily: It's okay, I'm not tired at all. If you're fine, just drink a cup of tea, the water will be fine immediately, my son specially gave me this tea, Xiaohongpao, very good. You taste it too.

Yuan Mei looked at him, her eyes full of smiles. In front of him, Yuan Mei seemed to feel happiness that she had never felt before, as if she was dozens of years younger all of a sudden.

Chen Ke looked at Yuan Mei in front of him, his expression changed slightly, a trace of imperceptible weirdness flashed in his eyes, he remained calm and reserved on his face, still holding his hands, and said very politely: Sister Yuan, thank you for your hospitality first.

Yuan Mei said happily: It's okay. With that, he ran to the kitchen like a gust of wind, because the kettle was already chirping there.

Xiaohongpao, the tea soup is clear, and the tea is fragrant.

Yuan Mei put the brewed tea on the coffee table in front of Chen Ke. Chen Ke has been quietly watching her, looking at the house she lives in, looking at her life, looking at everything she has...... Unspeakable envy and melancholy in my heart.

Thinking about myself, penniless, a thought suddenly rose in my heart.

He slowly picked up the cup and took a sip, not swallowing it immediately, but holding it in his mouth for a while.

Yuan Mei stared at him for a moment after drinking it, as if she wanted to see how he reacted to this tea.

I saw Chen Ke take a sip very slowly, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and suddenly stretched out again, a trace of surprise flashed between his expressions, he closed his mouth, slowly savored, and nodded after a while, and then couldn't help but appreciate: Well, it's an authentic little red robe, it's a good tea.

As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up and gave him a thumbs up.

Yuan Mei was even happier, and immediately filled another cup for him and said: Actually, I don't understand, it's my son who said, this is good tea, don't waste it. I've only drunk it once, and I think it's more resistant to foaming, and I don't think anything else. I think you are also an experienced person, and you should know the scriptures. Likes to drink more.

Chen Ke pinched the crystal clear teacup with three fingers, looked at it, sniffed it again, and said a little unfathomable: Yes, I also drank this tea in the early years, but then when you get old and are no longer in place, you are nothing, who will come to slap you? Is that right? When people get old, they become worthless, and they are left with a set of bones. Who's going to take you seriously? At this time, only I know each other.

Yuan Mei agreed and said: What are you doing with all this, as long as the current life is good. You should be in good health, right?

Chen Ke said: I am in good health.

Yuan Mei said: This is the capital of the revolution. When you are old, you are better than someone's body, do you say?

Chen Ke said with a smile: Sister Yuan said it really well. But I'm still very envious of Sister Yuan, who gave birth to such a good son, unlike my daughter, hey-

Yuan Mei comforted: It's going to be fine, don't worry, Jiren has his own natural appearance, and it will be fine.
