It was Saturday, the weekend. His parents were resting at home.
Seeing Chen Jin go upstairs looking like he had just woken up, Chen Gang, who was eating, was furious.
He adjusted his glasses and glared at Chen Jin. "Look at what you've become. You wake up at midnight, and all you do is hole up in your room and play games every day. You're already 24. What's the use of going on like this?"
"How did I give birth to a son like you?"
As a senior engineer and the technical backbone of the unit, he saw that his colleagues' children were earning tens of thousands of dollars a month. Some of them went abroad to study, but his son was living off his parents?
He did not dare to reveal this fact. He could only say that his son had found a good job with a stable income.
Chen Jin did not dare to refute. He sat down quietly and picked up his bowl and chopsticks to eat.
"F * ck off! I gave birth to my son. I'll take care of him. It's none of your business. Shut up! "
He Hi put her hands on her hips and protected Chen Jin behind her. She immediately retorted.
"You care? Can you control him for the rest of his life? You want him to live off your parents? "Chen Gang had asked this question countless times, but he always got similar answers.
"What's wrong with my son living off my parents? I'm happy to. I can support him for the rest of his life, "He Hi said nonchalantly.
"You …"
Chen Gang pointed at her and sighed. "A doting mother spoils her son!"
Chen Jin had already scooped a bowl of pork ribs soup for himself and was wolfing it down.
He Hi's face lit up. She put another chicken drumstick in his bowl. "Come on, son. Eat more meat. It's good for your body."
"Thanks, Mom."
Seeing this, Chen Gang shook his head. "Sigh!"
…
After lunch.
Chen Jin took the initiative to go to the kitchen and help his mom wash the dishes.
Then he pulled her aside and stammered, "Mom, there's something I want to discuss with you …"
He Hi glanced at him and took out her phone from her bag. Lifting her chin, she said, "Tell me, how much money should I transfer to you this time?"
Chen Jin chuckled and pounded her shoulder. "Mom, you know me the best …"
He Hi narrowed her eyes comfortably. "Nonsense. You crawled out of Mom's womb. I know what you're going to fart the moment you stick out your butt." Would this brat even think of washing dishes for her normally?
"This … is not much. Just give me twenty thousand."
"Okay, but you have to promise me one thing. Within three months, find me a girlfriend that I like."
"Er, I'll try my best." Truth be told, with his qualifications, it was easier than eating and drinking to get rid of a single partner. However, he had no plans to do so at the moment.
He Li opened her eyes and said in a leisurely tone, "Son, you're not young anymore. It's about time to start thinking about your marriage. You can still play now, but if you don't get married soon and let Mom have a grandchild before she retires, you should know what will happen next."
Indeed, He Li was a classic "loving mother," but she wouldn't really ruin her son. Since he was young, she had her own way of disciplining her son. She also had her own requirements for his development. Of course, compared to other parents, her standards were extremely low. However, she always kept her bottom line and guided Chen Jin to develop on the path that she had set for him. She was firmly in control of the steering wheel.
For example, cooking, washing the dishes, cleaning the house, keeping himself clean and tidy, conversing properly, being cultured and polite … Chen Jin could do all of these things very well.
In front of his relatives and friends, Chen Jin gave the impression that he was low-key and polite. Behind his back, he left a pretty good impression.
No one knew that he was a homebody who relied on his parents.
This was all due to He Li's proper education.
Hearing that his mother seemed to be formulating a plan to "trick" him again, Chen Jin's forehead was slightly sweaty. He nodded and said, "Yes, I understand, Mom."
"Ding! You have received a transfer of $20000 from 'Mother' on your Alipay account."
Seeing this message, Chen Jin secretly shook his head. "In the future, I'd better not ask Mother for money. This money … burns my hands."
…
In the afternoon.
Chen Jin went out and found a small hardware store that specialized in custom-made aluminum doors and windows near the Court of Happiness.
He called out the owner of the hardware store and took out the broken track from the bag. He negotiated a price of $200 and asked the owner to repair it for him.
The owner was a middle-aged man who seemed to be very knowledgeable and a chatterbox.
"Are you a fan of making military models? The workmanship of this track is very good. Are you trying to install it on a model tank? "
"Let me tell you, $200 is not a lot at all. The smaller something is, the harder it is to weld and the higher the requirements for operation."
"Luckily, I worked in a shipyard for a few years. I can't boast that I'm the best when it comes to welding skills, but this small track is not a problem for me."
"Hey, what's going on? After welding for so long, how come there are no signs of melting at the weld point? The steel is not even red. "
The owner, who was holding the mask in his hand, was surprised.
"Let's try using a high-temperature welding rod."
He took out the high-temperature welding rod and welded it for a long time. At the part where the track was broken, the material only turned red under the high temperature of more than 2,400 degrees. There was no sign of melting.
"What the hell, what kind of steel can have a melting point of more than 2,000 degrees?
"What kind of material is this toy track model made of?"
The middle-aged owner looked as if he had seen a ghost. He became angry from embarrassment. It was just a toy track. How could it be a problem for a senior welder like him?
He used the gas welding technique that he rarely used. Using the high temperature of more than 3,000 degrees produced by the combustion of acetylene in pure oxygen, he finally took down the toy track.
The metal at the part where the track was broken finally began to melt. Finally, it was connected together.
The broken track was successfully repaired.
…
Apart from repairing the track, Chen Jin also bought a batch of electrical wires. When he got home, he pulled a wire from his bedroom and sent it to the other world through the portal.
He also bought a small transformer. Through the transformer, he converted the dangerous 220V household voltage into 6V, 12V, and 24V safe voltages.
Then, he used the two copper wires that extended from the transformer, one red and one blue, to be divided into positive and negative stages. Then, he inserted the two copper wires into two small holes on the back of Wawa's butt that seemed to be charging sockets.
“adding-power”
A notification sound came.
The row of lights on Wawa's chest, the one on the far left was flashing red, indicating that it was charging.
Only then did Chen Jin feel at ease.
At the same time, he installed the repaired caterpillar tracks on it.
As for the damaged camera eye on the right, Chen Jin had replaced it a long time ago.
He went to Earth for dinner. When he returned to the bottom of the crater again.
Wawa had just replenished its battery to the point where it could wake up.
Thus, Chen Jin saw that after the sound of a successful startup notification sounded, Wawa's two camera eyes, which were hanging down, lifted up first from left to right, and then from left to right repeatedly. In the field of view of the camera lens, it saw Chen Jin in front of it.
"Beep beep ~"
The dust cleaning device in the camera eye blinked twice.
Its eyes lit up. It saw that the track on its left leg had been repaired.
"Wawa, Wawa!"
It was extremely excited. It waved its mechanical arms, freed itself from the charging cable on its back, and circled around Chen Jin.
"Click click click ~"
It first turned clockwise a few times.
"Click click click ~"
Then, it turned counterclockwise a few times.
Then, it ran back and forth, calling out "Wawa, Wawa!"
Chen Jin was amused by its behavior.
He pointed at it and laughed, "Haha, Wawa, you're such a joker!"
Suddenly, Chen Jin's eyes bulged.
Wawa ran to the side of the small transformer and extended its mechanical arms. With two clangs, it pulled out the household wire that was connected to the transformer. The metal blocks at the ends of the two mechanical arms each pinched a section of copper wire. Electric currents, accompanied by a large number of sparks, were directly connected to the 220V household circuit, and it started charging itself.
It was even twitching non-stop.
