When the three of them came out of the welfare home, they were about to go to the hotel when a surprise voice suddenly rang in their ears: "Ye Chen, Xiaofen!"
The two of them turned around and saw a few figures walking towards each other.
These people are all friends who grew up with him in the welfare dean.
However, for Ye Chen, there are many people here who have basically never seen each other again since he left the welfare home.
The only person who has contacted me after leaving the welfare home is his friend, Zhao Hao.
In the early years, when Ye Chen was living in a welfare home, his parents died unexpectedly, so his personality became taciturn and even a little withdrawn. He might not say a word to others for a day.
Because of his incompatible relationships, he is often isolated by other children.
Ye Chen remembers that whenever he was isolated, Zhao Hao, who was a little older than him, would always stand up and take him to play with him.
So over the years, the relationship between the two has been very deep.
Zhao Hao and Ye Chen are the same age, but Zhao Hao is several months older than him.
The two of them came out of the welfare home, and then they chose to work on the construction site together, enduring hardships and suffering together, and they were the standard brothers in distress.
However, what is different from Ye Chen is that Ye Chen made money and secretly gave it to the welfare home. Zhao Hao saved some money by himself, then left the construction site and went to Haicheng to do some small business.
.
For Ye Chen, Zhao Hao's approach is understandable.
After all, everyone is orphans. When they come out of the welfare home, most of them are helpless.
Everyone wants to make some money to lay a foundation for themselves, because orphans are not like others. They have parents, relatives, and a house that can shelter from the wind and rain. Orphans have nothing.
If you have no money today, you will not be able to eat today and you will have to sleep on the street at night.
The reason why Ye Chen did not consider himself after leaving the welfare home was mainly because of the teachings his father gave him back then, which made him feel that he could live to 18 years old, which was already the welfare home and Aunt Li’s kindness to him. Of course, he
I need to find a way to repay my kindness.
Moreover, this has a lot to do with the education Ye Chen received in his childhood.
In his childhood, Ye Chen was a young master of the Ye family. He received education from Confucianism and classical Chinese studies. Therefore, in his bones, there was a kind of dedication like a great scholar in ancient times, who was compassionate and compassionate.
It is precisely this that makes him different from everyone in the welfare home.
At this time, Zhao Hao walked up excitedly and said excitedly: "Ye Chen, my good brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"
Back then, he and Ye Chen slept on the shed on the construction site, carried cement and moved bricks together, and the two supported each other and walked for several years.
Later, Zhao Hao saved tens of thousands of yuan and met a girl he liked on the construction site, so he followed the girl to Haicheng.
After not seeing each other for a few years, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel excited and said, "Zhao Hao, we haven't seen each other for three or four years, right? How have you been in Haicheng in the past few years?"
Zhao Hao heard Ye Chen’s question at this time, laughed and said, “It’s okay, it’s okay! You can have some food and clothing!”
Ye Chen asked again: "Where is the girl you met on the construction site? Are you two married?"
"Hi." A trace of sadness flashed between Zhao Hao's eyebrows, but he smiled indifferently: "I got married, but I've been in love for two or three years, but this is a marriage and I can't afford to marry.
What kind of bride price? I can’t afford to buy a house. My parents looked down on me. They often blew the wind in her ears. As they blew, she looked down on me, and then they broke up with me."
Ye Chen frowned and asked, "When did this happen?"
Zhao Hao smiled slightly and said, "Just last month."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "It was her loss if she didn't choose you."
After saying that, he said, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, aren't you in Haicheng? Why did you come to Jinling so quickly?"
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that the unit arranged for me to come for business trips. I just arrived in the afternoon. As soon as I got off the bus, I saw you chatting in the group, and then I came over quickly."
Ye Chen asked curiously: "Aren't you doing your own business? Why are you working again?"
Zhao Hao smiled bitterly and said, "The business has gone bad. Now the business is not that easy to do, especially in the past two years, the economic situation is not good, so it is not easy to do anything."
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Churan and smiled and said, "Ye Chen, is this brother and sister?"
Ye Chen nodded and said, "This is my wife, Xiao Churan."
After saying that, he introduced Xiao Churan again: "Churan, this is Zhao Hao, my best friend when I was in the welfare home."
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Ye Chen, you are so lucky. Your brother and sister are so beautiful."
Xiao Churan smiled and said, "Thank you."
Zhao Hao nodded, and then pretended to be complaining and said to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, you are not kind! You haven't taken the initiative to contact us in the past few years. After Aunt Li suffered from uremia, I heard Aunt Li say
, You often go to see her, but you just avoid us brothers and sisters every time, why?"
Ye Chen smiled and said seriously: "I have lived a bad life in recent years and I don't want everyone to see it."
Ye Chen also has self-esteem. Since marrying Xiao Churan, he has been often ridiculed, saying that he is a waste, a sling, and a son-in-law. Although he doesn't care what people think of him, he doesn't want to let him go with him since childhood.
These friends who grew up together know their predicament.
Zhao Hao said seriously: "My good brother, we lived in a construction site shack for a long time. A steamed bun can be broken in half, one person and half. What's the point of being embarrassed about you in front of me? Besides,
Brother, I have been having a bad time in the past few years. Look at me, I still laugh every day.”
Ye Chen nodded slightly.
At this time, Li Xiaofen also looked at Zhao Hao with a smile and said, "Brother Mouse, why haven't you greeted me?"
Zhao Hao saw Li Xiaofen and stared at her for a long time before saying in surprise: "You...you are Xiaofen?!"
Like Ye Chen, Zhao Hao never came back after leaving the welfare home when he was 18 years old.
At that time, Li Xiaofen was only thirteen or fourteen years old and was still a yellow-haired girl. However, now Li Xiaofen has become a generous beauty, and the gap is still very obvious.
Li Xiaofen smiled and said, "It's me, why are you so surprised!"
Zhao Hao laughed and said, "You really are a girl who is old. At that time, you were yellow and thin, short, and you looked like a tomboy every day. I didn't expect you to become so beautiful now!"
Li Xiaofen said shyly: "Brother Mouse, stop praising me. With my sister-in-law here, I can't be considered pretty."
As she said that, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Churan, and the envy on her face was even more expressive.
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Don't be so arrogant. You are also a beautiful woman from all over the world."
Li Xiaofen was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to speak when she suddenly received a call.
When she picked up the phone, her face immediately became anxious and said to everyone: "The hotel owner called and said that the hotel line was aging and the electricity was off. It couldn't be repaired today. I have to wait for tomorrow, so I can't open business either.
....”
"Ah?" Zhao Hao blurted out: "Then we have to find another place temporarily!"
Li Xiaofen said anxiously: "It's meal time now, so it's hard to find a private room temporarily..."
When Ye Chen heard this, he was about to call Hong Wu to ask if there is still a private room in Tianxiang Mansion.
At this time, a black Mercedes-Benz sedan stopped beside everyone...
