Chapter 273: Dad’s ‘car accident’, traveling through time again
"There was a car accident?"
After hearing his father Zhou Zhiming's words, Zhou Chen suddenly woke up and asked nervously: "Dad, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, there's just something wrong with the car."
Zhou Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as everything is fine, it's fine. It's fine as long as everything is fine."
"There's something wrong with the car. This is a new car."
Listening to his father's loud emphasis, Zhou Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly. There was a car accident, and he was actually worried about the car. This old father really had no one left.
"It's okay, dad. Even if the car is scrapped, your son can get a new one. Where are you now? I'll go find you right away."
"It's right at the doorstep."
"A car accident happened in front of your home?" Zhou Chen was shocked. What kind of operation was this?
"Son, you really can't blame me. I just started the car and before I drove it, the woman bumped into me. The woman even blamed me for bumping into her. It made me so angry that your mother almost started to quarrel with her...
…”
Zhou Chen quickly interrupted: "Okay, dad, I'm going back now. You and mom are waiting for me at home. Don't conflict with others."
It didn't sound like a big deal, but it was about his parents, so Zhou Chen didn't dare to be careless, so he quickly got dressed and drove back.
By the time Zhou Chen arrived, the matter had been resolved.
In fact, it was not a big deal, it was just that the battery car hit the new car he bought for his father, causing a scratch.
Because it was a new car, and Zhou Zhiming was a car lover, he felt very distressed. He started arguing with the lady who hit his car, but Zhou Zhiming couldn't quarrel with the woman at all, and was defeated every step of the way.
Then his mother, Li Congping, quit her job and started to quarrel with the aunt.
Finally, I called the police. Because there was surveillance, it was indeed the aunt who bumped into me, but the aunt refused to admit it.
With the mediation of the police, the aunt had to pay 200 yuan in compensation.
In fact, the scratches were not small, and two hundred yuan was simply not enough, but Zhou Zhiming didn't want to go to too much trouble, so he reached a settlement.
"It's really unlucky for a good new car to get hit after driving it for just a few days."
As soon as Zhou Chen came back, he heard his father Zhou Zhiming complaining.
He smiled and persuaded: "Dad, you will gain wisdom after suffering a loss. I heard from you that that aunt is not a good person. If she continues to pester her, she will not look good in the community."
We are all from the same community, and if things really get into trouble, even if we finally get the solution, in the eyes of others, we will have the impression that we are not easy to get along with.
If there is no real hatred between neighbors, there is really no need to go to that level.
Li Congping said: "Your dad just feels sorry for his new car."
"Of course I feel bad. I haven't driven for a few days. If I touched it myself, I would admit it. But if someone touches it in the community, how can I not be depressed?"
Money or not is not important. What is important is that Zhou Zhiming really loves cars. At his age, it is rare to have a car of his own. It is like finding a second wife. He either wipes or washes it every day.
Very caring.
Zhou Chen said: "It's just a scratch. Dad, if you don't mind the trouble, I'll drive to the 4S shop for you to have it repaired."
Zhou Zhiming waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let's not repair it for now. I'll paint it with a pen first, and then we'll talk about it after I've been driving for a while."
Although he is old, because he loves cars, he keeps a lot of car-related items in his car.
Paint touch-up pens, tire pressure gauges, sun protection covers, etc. are all available.
Li Congping said to Zhou Chen: "I'll stay for dinner later."
"good."
"By the way, how was your conversation with the little girl your sister introduced?"
Zhou Chen knew who his mother was talking about, but the relationship between him and Li Luo was relatively complicated because neither of them had made it clear, so to be precise, they were not in a relationship yet.
"Well, that's it. That girl has a bit of a cold personality and won't be so quick."
What he is using now is the procrastination tactic. He is sure that he and Li Luo will be able to get together in the end, but he still needs time to think about it. After all, this is not his matter alone, but involves two families.
Having experienced five film and television worlds, he is no longer the passionate young man who could abandon everything for love. He now thinks more about his family.
Family harmony is the most important thing.
If he wants to hunt for women, he has a system and can go to the world of movies and TV shows to hunt for women, but in the real world, he cannot let himself be so unbridled.
"If this girl is really good, you have to act quickly. You will be thirty in one year and you can't afford to wait. You have to get married and have children while you are young. Otherwise, you will not have children when you are older.
My children are not as healthy as other people’s children.”
Listening to his mother's endless chatter, Zhou Chen looked strange: "Mom, where did you hear these fallacies? Who said older children are unhealthy?"
Li Congping said angrily: "What I said, our family's example is right in front of us. Look at how smart your sister is. She got married and had children early. Now Lele is so old. Look at you, you are so old.
You don’t even have a girlfriend, how dare you say you’re smart?”
"Okay, Mom, you are awesome, everything you said is right, I am not healthy, I am not smart, my sister is smart, okay? In your eyes, getting married long ago is called healthy and smart, but getting married later becomes unhealthy and smart?
"
"Stop talking nonsense, peel the edamame for me with your dad."
Under Li Congping's power, the father and son could only sit together on a small bench and start peeling edamame.
After dinner, Zhou Chen ran away and did not dare to stay at home too long. He was afraid that if he stayed too long, his mother would talk about him again.
As soon as he returned to his house, Zhou Chen took out his mobile phone. As soon as he opened it, a push message came over. He glanced at it and it was related to the epidemic. His expression suddenly changed and he quickly clicked on it.
"how so?"
Zhou Chen was horrified by the contents of the news. An infected person had been discovered in Jinling, and it had spread. Now the whole of China has begun martial law again, and people who leave the airport are being interrogated.
This news is really shocking, because their place is very close to Jinling, and now that the epidemic has spread, their place is also very dangerous.
What Zhou Chen couldn't understand was why such a thing happened. You must know that he had experienced several 21 years in the world of film and television dramas before, and even many years after that, but nothing like this happened.
.
This kind of thing did not happen in the parallel world of film and television dramas, but it happened in reality. This feeling made him horrified.
If this is the case, it means that the timeline of the real world is different from the timeline of the film and television world.
There is another possibility, that is, the system is unwilling to allow him to predict the future of the real world, thus causing changes in the future of the film and television world.
No matter which one it is, it is not the result Zhou Chen wants to see.
In the following days, the province where Zhou Chen and his friends were located fell into a huge crisis. The epidemic prevention and control measures that had been relaxed at first suddenly became stricter at this moment.
The roads were blocked and the community was blocked. Zhou Chen was worried about his parents, so he moved to live with them again.
After lying at home for three days, Zhou Chen became bored. A friend had made an appointment with him the day after tomorrow.
Zhou Chen didn't want to just wait at home, so he communicated with the system and started a new round of time travel.
It had only been a few days since his last time travel. Originally, he was planning to look for opportunities to make money, but now due to the epidemic, he can only postpone it temporarily.
