When Yun Zijin saw the message Lu Yunque sent her, she felt a little shaken.
But when he looked up and saw that everyone around him was still chatting and eating enthusiastically, Yun Zijin didn't want to spoil their fun. It was okay to stay up all night occasionally.
So he replied to Lu Yunque:
——Qingqing Zijin: Today is New Year’s Eve. It’s a rare occasion that everyone is happy. It’s nice for us to chat together.
Normally they are not in the same place because many people have to go to work and don’t have much free time to contact each other. It’s so hard to get together during the Spring Festival, and it’s really nice to have a long chat all night long.
Lu Yunque always pays attention to his mobile phone. When he sees someone sending a message, he unlocks it to check it immediately.
After seeing Yun Zijin's reply, although I felt it was unnecessary, I decided to respect Yun Zijin's choice.
——L: It’s okay to stay up late, but don’t force yourself. If you really can’t hold on, you can go to bed first. They can’t stop you from going to bed.
After living in the orphanage for a few days, Lu Yunque knew that almost everyone in the orphanage treated Yun Zijin like their own little sister.
As long as Yun Zijin opens her mouth, no one will force her to stay up late with them.
Yun Zijin replied to Lu Yunque, saying that she understood, and then stopped looking at her phone.
Although they were keeping watch, after Yun Zijin and his group had a midnight snack and played a few games of poker and mahjong, no one could hold on any longer.
"I'm so sleepy. Why don't we go back and rest now? It's 4 a.m. now. If I sleep for 3 hours, I'll be up by 7 a.m. tomorrow."
Three hours of sleep, as long as their sleep quality is good enough, is enough for them to wake up early the next day full of energy.
Hearing this, Yun Zijin was the first to respond: "I'm already sleepy, I'll go back to my room first. Let's get up early tomorrow to clean up the garbage."
After saying that, Yun Zijin stood up and walked towards his room.
The others also put down what they were holding and returned to their rooms.
…
When the sky just turned light, this quiet city slowly began to wake up.
In the Red Star Orphanage, someone also walked out of the room.
As soon as Liao Zhuxiu walked out of the room and came to the open space outside, she saw the messy table.
Looking at the tables covered with either poker cards or mahjong, it turned out that someone had cleared away the unfinished takeaway food from Yun Zijin and the others yesterday, but it wasn't done thoroughly.
The trash can in the yard was now full of the garbage they threw away from their takeout yesterday.
"These kids don't even know to throw their food outside. When the other kids get up and see this pile of barbecue skewers, they'll probably start clamoring to eat some."
Where could she find skewers for the kids so early in the morning?
At this time, the security guard of the orphanage was passing by. Seeing Liao Zhuxiu picking up the garbage in the trash can in the house, he hurried forward to help.
"Wow, why are there so many skewers? I clearly took out all the trash yesterday."
"Who else could it be? It must be the takeout that those kids ordered after we went back to our room to rest. Let's throw this out first, otherwise the kids might see it and clamor for food too."
This barbecue is delicious, but it is unhealthy. Liao Zhuxiu definitely won't give it to her children.
If she can’t control the big ones, how can she control the small ones?
"Okay, I'll do it with you."
The security guard walked forward and picked up the full garbage bag with Liao Zhuxiu. Together they threw the garbage into the classified trash can outside.
Yun Zijin and others planned to get up at 7 o'clock, but they didn't expect that someone in the orphanage got up at 6 o'clock.
At 7 o'clock, several young people got up one after another, and when they saw the empty trash can, they were left with confusion.
"This...could it be that someone threw it away for us this morning?"
Pan Xiaoqiao felt that things seemed a little different from what they thought.
"Hehe, by the time you get up, the daylilies will be cold.
When I woke up this morning, I saw that the trash can was full of various barbecue skewers. I had already cleared the trash with your security guard this morning.
Next time you order takeout, throw the food directly into the trash can outside after eating, don’t let the children see it.
They are clamoring for takeout. Will you buy it for them or not?
The things out there are unhealthy. You can make them, but the children can’t.”
Liao Zhuxiu came up and gave everyone a big slap, muttering to himself.
Yun Zijin and the others laughed dryly. "Haha, Dean Mama, we were planning to throw it out together this morning. We didn't expect you and the security guard to get up so early."
7 o'clock is already their limit. Who would have thought that there are people in the orphanage who get up at 6 o'clock.
"Okay, okay, let's find two people and go outside to set off the firecrackers."
Although they are an orphanage, the director's mother would prepare a roll of firecrackers every Spring Festival.
After setting off firecrackers, it means that it is time to welcome guests today.
According to the custom of previous years, the director would give a red envelope to each of them, and many children living in the nearby community would also come to the orphanage to ask for red envelopes.
Whenever the director sees children, she will give them a small red envelope.
No matter how much money is in it, it’s still a small token of my appreciation.
If the children in the orphanage go out to visit their parents in nearby residential areas today, many people will take the initiative to give them New Year red envelopes.
The main focus is a give and take.
Yun Zijin also prepared a lot of red envelopes this year. In addition to those for the children in the orphanage, she also prepared red envelopes for the children in the nearby community.
However, the red envelopes given to children in orphanages are naturally bigger than those given to other children.
Two young boys went with lighters and firecrackers that the director's mother had prepared long ago, and walked to the gate of the orphanage to light the firecrackers.
Not long after the firecrackers went off, many children ran in from outside.
"Congratulations on your prosperity! Here are the red envelopes!"
Several children ran in together, their little faces rosy, and it was obvious that they had run around a lot today.
Seeing the innocent looks of these children, the people in the orphanage couldn't help but smile at night.
Liao Zhuxiu took out the same number of red envelopes as the children from her pocket where she had prepared them long ago.
"Come on, everyone has one, take the red envelope, and grow up healthily."
"I'm joining in the fun. I got one from the dean's mom, and I can get another one from my sister."
Yun Zijin also took out several red envelopes from his clothes.
Pan Xiaoqiao and the others looked at Yun Zijin with a changed look in their eyes: "When did you prepare this? Didn't they say you don't need to prepare red envelopes before the wedding?"
Pan Xiaoqiao and the others didn't get any results, so they never thought about preparing red envelopes.
