"What's the matter, are you bored?" Li Ruo leaned over.

"It's okay!" Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, "I just feel that I don't fit in with these people!"

"That's normal!" Li Ruo smiled and said, "They are all people in the circle, but you didn't fit in!"

"I'm afraid I'll never be able to fit in!" Ye Chen shook his head helplessly.

"I hope you never get involved!" Li Ruo took a glass of red wine and said, "Cheers!"

The two of them raised their glasses, touched them lightly, and then raised their heads to drink, and at this time, the servant came to pass the word, and lunch was ready. Then, everyone immediately moved and entered the restaurant, which was large enough, and more than a dozen people formed a circle, just enough to be full. One is not much, and the other is not good. It's as if the restaurant was made to order. Ye Chen didn't understand that this dining table could be adjusted according to demand, and at most it could accommodate twenty-two people at the same time. After the number of guests is determined, the maid will adjust it.

At the dinner table, everyone behaved very elegantly and spoke more reservedly.

After a meal, everyone said goodbye one after another, sent everyone away, and Ye Chen sat down on the sofa. Old man Li Tianya drank too much, so he went back to the room to sleep, while Li Cheng disappeared, and Ye Chen and Li Ruo were left in the living room. The two snuggled up on the sofa, and Li Ruo rested his head on Ye Chen's shoulder.

"Tired?" Li Ruo smiled, and there was a blush on his face.

"Hmm!" Ye Chen nodded and said, "Now imagine that the ladies in the public relations department are really hard, they have to accompany this and that boss every day, and this kind of life is painful to think about!"

"Life is like this, there is always something that you think is painful!" Li Ruo smiled faintly and said, "A person's life can't be smooth sailing, right?"

"That's also true!" Ye Chen smiled, then turned his head and pecked Li Ruo's red lips.

Li Ruojiao looked at Ye Chen shyly and said, "I still want it!"

"Hehe, then I'll give it to you!" Ye Chen grinned, and then kissed Li Ruo's red lips.

......

After leaving the Li family, Ye Chen went directly to the casino, and on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the casino was so popular that it was almost difficult to vacate a place to move his feet. Everyone gathered in the casino on this day, and even some students crowded inside. All want to wait for a slot machine that swallows coins. It's a pity that some people come early in the morning to take a spot, and they squat in front of the slot machine for a day.

The younger brothers are all in order in the casino, and some people are impatient to wait, and immediately step forward to occupy other people's machines, which will definitely cause disputes. At this time, the little brother of the Anti-Heaven Gang should take action.

The business in the casino was booming, which made Feng Zhixiao couldn't help but be excited. He secretly thought in his heart that if there was such a good business every day, the Anti-Heaven Gang would not have to worry about spending money.

"Brother Chen, Happy New Year!" Feng Zhixiao saw Ye Chen come in and immediately greeted him. Feng Zhixiao, this kid, was wearing a brand-new suit, and he specially made a handsome and slapping hair for the New Year. On his feet is a pair of smooth and shiny leather shoes.

"Hmm!" Ye Chen nodded and asked, "How were the brothers last night?"

"It's good!" Feng Zhixiao nodded and said, "Da Hei went back to Chengnan District early this morning, Jiang Wei came here in the morning, and then went to the bar in Chengnan District. ”

"That's good!" Ye Chen nodded and said, "If the brothers have any requirements, try to meet them, everyone is poor, and the rich are mixed with the underworld." Right?"

"Hmm!" Feng Zhixiao nodded, he had already passed that kind of day. So, he understands the hardship.

Ye Chen walked around the casino, and saw that Liu Bawang and the Four Heavenly Kings and others were also used to the current life, so they left the casino, Ye Chen planned to go to the orphanage, where is the place to raise himself after all.

Arrived at the orphanage, the location of the orphanage is relatively remote, so it is deserted, although the door of the orphanage is also pasted with red couplets, and the door is still hung with red lanterns, but from the color of the lantern can be seen, this lantern has some years. And the couplet pasted on the wall, in the corner, even wrote last year's year date, which made Ye Chen can't help but feel sour.

The rich struggle to get pretty, sexy, and seductive women, and the poor cry to be able to fill their bellies and wear warm clothes.

Ye Chen walked in, some children were playing in the yard, one by one wearing brand new clothes, the children were looking forward to this day all year round, not only new clothes to wear, but also delicious food to eat. So, they're happy. Children's inner world is very different from that of adults. All they want is a good meal and a brand new outfit.

Reiko's mother was cleaning up the dishes, and the children were playing games in the yard with the rest of the staff, and everyone was having a great time. Seeing Ye Chen come in, the children stopped one after another and looked at Ye Chen curiously. Ye Chen immediately greeted this group of children: "Children, come and greet me for the New Year, you will have red envelopes for the New Year!"

Everyone was stunned and gathered around, shouting one by one: "Uncle, Happy New Year!"

"Okay!" Ye Chen immediately took out red envelopes from his pocket, and then scattered them to these children, two hundred yuan for each red envelope, although the money is not much, but what he cares about is this kind of affection, two hundred yuan for a child, and tens of thousands of yuan if it is scattered. When Reiko's mother heard that Ye Chen was coming, she hurriedly wiped her hands and walked out. Ye Chen looked at Reiko's mother, who was getting older, and said, "Reiko's mother, happy new year!"

"Xiao Ye, Happy New Year!" Lingzi's mother hurriedly took out a red envelope, and then stuffed it to Ye Chen, saying, "This is a red envelope for you for the New Year, not much money." You take it!"

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and the things in the welfare home in his mind gradually surfaced, every New Year's Day, Reiko's mother gave everyone a red envelope, and there were only twenty yuan in a red envelope, but it was a huge expense for the orphanage. Ye Chen pinched his wallet, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Thank you, Reiko's mother!"

"Come in and sit for a while, it's cold outside!" Reiko's mother pulled Ye Chen into the house.

The facilities in the house are very simple, the heating is based on the hot water boiled by the boiler in the kitchen, the room is connected to the hot water pipe, the water is burned, the pipe is boiling heat, fortunately the pipe hangs high, otherwise it is easy to have an accident. The room, although heated, was still cold. In order to reduce the burden, the heating temperature of the orphanage was lowered as much as possible.

Ye Chen and Lingzi's mother chatted in the house for a while, Ye Chen's memory of some things in the past was a little vague, but he was able to remember some things about the orphanage. However, there are other things that have been forgotten. For example, he seems to remember that there was a woman named Yunqi......

"Alas, some of the children in the yard didn't know what was going on now!" Reiko's mother sighed and said, "Xiao Ye, except for you, there is no second person who has come back to see us old guys!"

As soon as Reiko's mother said this, she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Perhaps, everyone has their own ideas!" Ye Chen sighed with emotion: "I have even forgotten some things in the past!"

"Yes, they probably won't come back, I don't want to covet them in return, I just want to know how they are doing in society now!" Reiko's mother burst into tears, tears slowly slipped down the wrinkles, Ye Chen took a tissue and handed it to Reiko's mother, she took the tissue and continued: "This society is too cruel, they have been helpless since they were children, have no social background, no social experience, and go out to work when they are old, and I don't know if they are hungry or if they have clothes to wear!"

Ye Chen sighed, he didn't expect Reiko's mother to have such a broad mind. In such an embarrassing situation, she still thinks about the children she used to have. These people have never come back since they came out into society. Ye Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, they must be fine!"

"Hopefully!" Reiko's mother nodded. Then he put away his tears and said, "I just hope that if they are hungry outside, they will go back to the orphanage, and here, at least they will not be hungry." ”

Ye Chen finally couldn't help it, he hurriedly turned his head, afraid that Reiko's mother would see his tears. Ye Chen gritted his teeth and said, "If one day, I see them, I will definitely let them come back to take a look!"

"Hmm!" Reiko's mother nodded.

The two talked for a while, and Ye Chen offered his farewell. After a while, Ye Chen went back to Xinhai Apartment. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it seems that this has passed, and the streets are deserted, and most of the people who have gone to the city to work, or those who have come to Jianghuai City to work, have returned. So, it's as if the whole city has been hollowed out.

The New Year is about the atmosphere, the money is over, visiting relatives and friends, and giving each other a gift. In the past, gifts were given affection, but now they are compared with each other. It is the leaders of some organs who are happy, and some employees of the units who are suffering.
