Zhou Chen walked around the house over and over again. This was his first time returning to the world of film and television. The feeling of regaining what was lost made him very strange.
Memories from many years ago were suddenly awakened at this moment. It took Zhou Chen a long time to recall the familiar and unfamiliar items in front of him.
Slowly, the memories of this world began to awaken, and my longing for Star Fruit quickly grew.
He was afraid of recalling before, so he didn't dare to recall. In addition, many years have passed, many memories have been blurred, and he can only remember a lot of things roughly.
I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly the phone rang.
Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment by the slightly unfamiliar ringtone, and then he realized that this was his cell phone in this world, but he hadn't used this ringtone for many years, so he didn't react for a while.
Seeing that the caller ID on his cell phone was his wife, Zhou Chen suddenly thought of Yang Tao, so he answered the call.
"Hey, hubby, my mom just called me and asked us not to cook today and go to her place to eat."
"okay."
Only then did Zhou Chen remember that he and his mother-in-law lived across the street from each other.
However, even though we live across the street, we don’t go there to eat every day. Most of the time, the couple cooks meals at home.
"I'll buy some fruit when I come back later. By the way, my mother said there's something wrong with the water heater over there. Go and have a look. If it doesn't work, call someone to come and fix it. My sister and the kids are at home, and it's inconvenient not to have hot water."
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look now."
"Then I'll hang up."
"Wait a minute, wife, come back quickly, I miss you so much."
"We haven't seen you for a few hours, so you can coax me."
"I miss you so much. It may only be a few hours for you, but it has been a century for me."
"I know how to talk sweetly, husband, I love you."
"I love you too, wife."
Zhou Chen hung up the phone with a smile, and his heart was filled with excitement when he thought that he would see Yang Tao later.
He said it had been a century, indeed a century. He had not seen Carambola for such a long time, and now that he could finally see her again, how could he not be excited?
Thinking of what Yang Tao said, Zhou Chen changed his clothes, then walked to the opposite side and knocked on the door.
The door was quickly opened, and a familiar face appeared in front of Zhou Chen.
Although she has experienced many worlds and had several mothers-in-law, Xue Sumei is definitely the one who left the deepest impression on her.
"Xiao Zhou, here you go, come and take a look. I don't know what's going on with this water heater. It jumps when you turn it on to boil water. It's not reliable at all."
Xue Sumei pulled Zhou Chen into the kitchen, pointed at the water heater on the wall and muttered.
The home used to use an electric water heater for some years. When Zhou Chen renovated his house last time, he simply replaced some appliances at his mother-in-law's house.
This gas water heater is one of them.
"It shouldn't be. It's only been a few months, so it won't break so quickly, right?"
Zhou Chen opened the faucet in surprise, and then heard the water heater start to boil water. But within a few seconds, the water heater jumped, started to alarm, and the interface also reported an error.
"Hey, it's true."
Xue Sumei muttered: "Xiao Zhou, where did you buy this? It's so unreliable. How long has it been? It's not as useful as the one I had before. If I had known better, I wouldn't have replaced it with a new one."
Zhou Chen said: "It's okay, Mom, this thing has a warranty. Just wait, I'll call them and ask them to come and fix it quickly."
He hadn't dealt with this kind of thing for a long time, but it was just a phone call. He quickly dialed the after-sales phone number. After telling the problem, the other party was very nice and said that someone would come to repair it within two hours.
"Mom, I called. Someone will come to fix it right away. Let's boil some water in the hot water kettle first."
Xue Sumei was speechless and kept mumbling: "The quality of these electrical appliances nowadays is really getting worse and worse. Any of the electrical appliances in our era can be used for many years, and they are also cheap. The more expensive they are now, the more expensive they are."
It breaks easily and is not reliable at all."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Mom, you can't say that. We have the same installation over there, isn't it still fine? This is a matter of probability. Anyway, if someone comes to repair it, it doesn't cost money."
"It doesn't matter if it's money or not, it's just bad."
At this time, Su Qing walked out with her son in her arms. Her son was already a few months old, but because he had not remarried Duan Xifeng and could not take care of the child by himself, he had been living in his aunt Xue Sumei's house.
"Zhou Chen, aunt is used to using hot water. Now it suddenly broke and there is no hot water to use. I feel uncomfortable. I'm right, aunt."
Xue Sumei rolled her eyes: "Why not use it if it's useful?"
"Sister Qing."
Zhou Chen said hello to Su Qing. Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, after meeting, the sense of familiarity was still there and the greeting was smooth.
"I'll give you a hug."
Walking up to Su Qing and looking at the pink and tender appearance of the child in Su Qing's arms, Zhou Chen couldn't help but think of his own child, so he spoke.
Naturally, Su Qing would not refuse and carefully handed her son over to Zhou Chen. When she saw Zhou Chen holding him skillfully, her face was filled with surprise.
"Hey, Zhou Chen, I haven't hugged you for a few days, how come you have become so skilled?"
Zhou Chen had held a child before, but he was clumsy. But now, he was even more skilled than her mother.
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Practice makes perfect."
While talking, he was still shaking gently. The baby, who was still humming a little, soon stopped humming and giggled at Zhou Chen.
Su Qing had been watching from the side and was even more surprised to see Zhou Chen easily making his son laugh.
"Okay, Zhou Chen."
Xue Sumei hummed: "You can do whatever you want, it's okay to hold other people's children. What's the point of being able to hold your own child?"
Zhou Chen smiled bitterly and said: "Mom, what you said is that I also want to hold my own child, but this is not my decision alone. When Taozi comes back, you can talk to Taozi."
Xue Sumei immediately said: "I want to talk to her carefully. She is already so old. If she doesn't have children, it will be even more difficult in the future. You kid, please work hard for me. While I can still take care of the children, I can have more children."
I'll help you take two of them."
Su Qing said with a smile: "Auntie, you are really demanding a lot, but I agree with this idea. It is more fun if you have more children."
"Yes, children are very talented and lively."
Zhou Chen held the child in his arms and walked around the room.
Xue Sumei and Su Qing were cooking in the kitchen. Seeing Zhou Chen taking care of the child, Su Qing was really surprised.
"Auntie, have you noticed that Zhou Chen seems a little different?"
"What's the difference? It's still the same."
"I just feel a little different."
"When Taozi comes back later, I will definitely talk to her. If she doesn't give me a grandson, I won't even think about coming to my house for dinner."
