When Zhao Ze drove to Zhou Li's house, he first made a phone call to Guo Songlin, lying that he was going to the company to deal with some things today.

When Zhao Ze's car drove downstairs to Zhou Li's house, Zhao Ze made another call to Molly, and also lied that he had arrived downstairs in Guo Songlin's company.

After the lies on both sides had been told, Zhao Ze took out a toolbox from the trunk of his car and carried it up the stairs to Zhou Li's house.

Zhou Li's current residence is an old community, belonging to the sixties and seventies, the kind of building with outdoor stairs.

Originally, Zhao Ze had persuaded Zhou Li many times, asking her to sell this old house quickly and buy a new house.

But it has always been rejected by Zhou Li.

Of course, Zhou Li knew what Zhao Ze thought, she actually didn't want to owe Zhao Ze too much.

Although these are all Zhao Ze's willingness, Zhou Li's vanity does not allow others to have this kind of charity for herself.

After all, the relationship between her and Zhao Ze is still unclear, and in fact, it can't be calculated.

Zhou Li also didn't want to think about it anymore every time she thought about it.

Because she also knew that Zhao Ze couldn't belong to herself, but she didn't want to face this problem.

Now this ambiguous relationship with Zhao Ze actually feels very good to her. Since it feels good, why do you have to break it down?

Since the two of them don't mention it, let's go on so vaguely and ambiguously.

The window paper is very thin, but once it is punctured, it cannot be continued.

Zhao Ze carried the toolbox to the 4th floor, opened the unit door on the right, and walked in.

In this old-fashioned building, the residents all share a common hallway, and all three families have a common gate outside.

Zhao Ze walked all the way to the door inside, looked at the broken door lock on the door, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Then he crouched down, opened the toolbox, and took out a screwdriver and a hammer from it.

Aim the screwdriver at the keyhole, then pick up the hammer in your right hand and smash it the end of the screwdriver's handle.

The extremely damaged door lock cylinder was knocked off by Zhao Ze in two or three clicks under Zhao Ze's direct knocking.

The loud sound may have frightened Zhou Li in the room, and she opened the door in a panic.

When he opened the door and saw Zhao Ze, he couldn't help but say loudly: "Ouch, my mother, it turned out to be you!" I thought it was a burglar in my house!

You don't say a word when you say you're here! I came to ask you to help me fix the lock, but as soon as I didn't let you come up, I knocked off the lock in our house!

Look at your hammers knocking on the door, you have to make a little more effort, my door is probably broken by you! ”

Zhao Ze grinned at Zhou Li: "I'm not an affordable person!" You asked me to change the locks, of course, as soon as I arrived at your door, I would naturally help you change the locks!

And we're going to have to work like that, and look, I've got all the toolboxes with me.

Then you can go in first, you can't help much, and when I change the lock for you, you can prepare some tea for me and let me drink. ”

Zhao Ze said as he took out the lock cylinder that he had bought in advance from the toolbox and began to help Guo Li's door change locks.

Zhou Li went back to the house, walked into the kitchen, and began to boil water for Zhao Ze and prepare to make tea.

After a while, Zhao Ze had already changed the door lock, and then walked into the house, pushed and pulled the door, and tried whether the door lock was easy to use.

Then he walked into Zhou Li's room with a toolbox and sat down on an older fabric sofa.

"I've already fixed the door for you! I'll put the key on your coffee table, don't forget to change it then, if you forget, you have to find a lock picker to help you open the door. ”

Zhao Ze pulled out two pieces of paper from the paper on the coffee table, and wiped his somewhat dirty hands with them.

He pulled a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it, then looked at the frames hanging on the wall.

There are still black-and-white photos from the sixties and seventies in the frame, and Zhou Li's home still has this kind of thing, which is already an old antique if it is outside.

Zhao Ze stood up with a cigarette in his mouth and walked to those old photos, except for Zhou Li, he knew almost no other people in the photos.

The man who took the most photos with Zhou Li, Zhao Zechai, should be Zhou Li's deceased ex-husband.

At this time, Zhou Li came out of the kitchen, holding a white porcelain teacup in her hand, and the water in the teacup was steaming.

Zhao Ze knew that Zhou Li was behind him at this time, so he didn't turn back, pointing to the man in the photo and asking Zhou Li.

"The man who took the picture with you should be your ex-husband, right?"

Zhou Li put the white porcelain teacup in her hand on the coffee table, then came to Zhao Ze's side, pointed to the old photos and said.

"I said you're a smart person, can't you see that this picture is not from our era at all?

Take a closer look at whether that woman is me? ”

Zhao Ze carefully looked at Zhou Li in the photo again, and then looked sideways at Zhou Li herself.

"Isn't it a bit like that? Oops! This can't be an aunt, right? It looks so much like you!

That aunt must be an uncle! If you look at my brain, why can't you turn this corner?

You're that old, how can you still have black and white photos? Now there are not many photos washed in our era, they are all electronic albums taken by mobile phones! Zhao Ze said a little abruptly.

"You know! Look at the people in this old photo, they will be in the same grade as us!

My house was my parents' house, and there are my grandparents on these photos!

Look at this picture, the child they are holding in their hands, that's me!

Alright, don't look at these old antiques! I guess your parents' house, there are also such photos.

Come and drink tea, I don't know if you like to drink it or not, we only have jasmine tea in our house, so you can make do with it. After Zhou Li finished speaking, she sat on the sofa first.

Zhao Ze held the cigarette ash that was bounced down in his hand at this time, looked at Zhou Li and asked, "Don't you have an ashtray at home?"

I'm here to work for your family, are you so willing to let me use it as an ashtray? I'm really embarrassed to bounce into the ground. ”

Zhou Li saw Zhao Ze's appearance, hurriedly got up from the sofa, walked to the kitchen, found a Red Bull drink can that had been drunk, and handed it to Zhao Ze.

Zhao Ze poured the cigarette butts and ashes in his hand into the beverage can, fluttered his hands, and then picked up the cup of tea that Zhou Li made for him.

I blew the tea foam floating on the water with my mouth and drank several sips.

"I said, how many years have you been keeping this tea? Isn't it already expired? Jasmine tea can't drink aged tea! ”
