Time Traveling: The Man and Wife Heads the House

In addition to Lu Kaiting, there was Tan Shi, a teacher who taught martial arts, and Master Zhang, a cook. Eight or nine students sat at a large table with them.

Tan Shi looked less than 30 years old, with a medium build, a clear face, a white robe, gentle and elegant, not like a martial arts practitioner, but like a teacher.Master Zhang is in his 40s, and he is not the kind of restaurant chef with a big belly, but he is a little bigger.The older students were fifteen or sixteen years old, and the younger ones were no more than eight or nine years old. Seeing Gu Xi and everyone congratulating him on his high school, they laughed so hard that they couldn't see their teeth.

The meals are very simple, mostly green vegetables and tofu, and the meat dishes include two plates of scrambled eggs, two plates of fish, and two plates of grilled chicken.

The children were sitting neatly, but when they saw fish and meat, their eyes lit up instantly.

Lu Kaiting smiled and said to Zhang Chi: "Zhang Chi, when these children grow up, their stomachs are like a bottomless pit. I don't keep them full all day long!"

After hearing Lu Kaiting's words, the children shy away their hungry wolf-like eyes in embarrassment, and laughed "hehe".

Tan Shi also said, "Speaking of which, Xihe is the student with the smallest appetite since I've been in the academy for so many years. I don't dare to let him go running in the mountains just by the amount of food he eats."

Master Zhang nodded, "When I meet a child like Xihe, I feel very unfulfilling as a cook!"

Zhang Chi was deeply touched, "Indeed, I am also very worried! This time I went to the exam, and the little flesh I finally grew up is gone."

Everyone laughed loudly, but Gu Xihe blushed.He glared at Zhang Chi, but the corners of his mouth were raised.

A meal is lively and lively, and the host and guest enjoy themselves.

After dinner, Lu Kaiting wanted to take a nap and asked Gu Xihe to take Zhang Chi for a stroll in the academy. If he wanted to rest, he could just go to his own room.That boy Xu Wu, let him squeeze with Dong Xian.

When Lu Kaiting left, he glanced at Lu Zixiu, and Lu Zixiu followed him wisely.

Lu Kaiting is old, and there is a bed in his room, which is specially used for his lunch break.His room was large, separated by wooden partitions, like a suite.

After entering the back room, Lu Zixiu helped the old man to bed and stood beside him obediently.

Lu Kaiting leaned against the bed, sighed, and said in a deep voice, "Zixiu, let go! You have no chance."

Lu Zixiu lowered his head slightly, "Father, I understand. When I come back this time, I decided to let go."

Letting go is hard, but he believes he can do it.Just like today, when he faced Gu Xihe again, watching his interaction with Zhang Chi, his heart was very peaceful, there was no sadness, and he could only be happy for him.

Lu Kaiting knows that his son will not feel better, but there will always be setbacks of one kind or another in his growth, even if he is his father, it is impossible for him to block them all.

"It's fine if you think about it. Zixiu, look at your brother Yang, I thought he would never meet the person he likes in his life, who knows that he will get married soon! So don't worry, your fate It's not here yet!"

"Well, thank you dad."

Lu Kaiting looked at him a few more times, seeing that his face was calm, indeed much calmer than before, so he waved him out.

Lu Zixiu went out of the house, and originally wanted to ask Gu Xihe if he would stay here for a few days, but he saw Tan Shi hurrying over along the corridor.

He couldn't help but stop, and when someone came over, he asked, "Where are you going in such a hurry?"

When Tan Shi saw him, he also stood still, looking at him with deep eyes.

"You didn't... Is the teacher asleep?"

Lu Zixiu thought he was going in to find his father, so he turned his body and let him go, "Not yet."

"Oh."

Seeing that he was not moving, Lu Zixiu asked suspiciously, "Did you have something to do with him?"

Tan Shi rubbed his head, hesitantly said: "No, it's okay, I'll come back after the teacher wakes up!"

After speaking, he turned and left.

Seeing his flustered steps, as if he was running away, Lu Zixiu was very puzzled, what happened to him?

Zhang Chi wanted Gu Xihe to go to the dormitory to rest, but Gu Xihe said he was not tired and wanted to take Zhang Chi around the yard.

"Let's look here first today, and tomorrow morning we will go climbing. Although Yunshan is not high, the scenery is very beautiful. When we return to the city, it will be difficult to come back in a while."

Seeing that he looked good, Zhang Chi agreed.

The students were studying by themselves in the classroom, so Gu Xihe led Zhang Chi into the painting and calligraphy room.

In modern society, Zhang Chi did not learn any talent due to family reasons, so he was very envious of those who had learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.Looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall at this time, I really admire and envy.

"Xihe, are these calligraphy and paintings all the works of the students in the academy?"

"Of course!"

Gu Xihe's tone was full of pride, "Teacher Lu is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he didn't hide any secrets. He taught us all the skills. It's a pity, I just learned a little bit."

Zhang Chi shook his head, "Xihe, don't be too self-effacing. Lu Zixiu also said that you taught him the piano!"

Gu Xihe said solemnly: "I taught Zixiu's piano, and that's because the teacher hurt his hand and couldn't teach him, so I taught him."

"So it is."

Zhang Chi suddenly remembered that Gu Xihe had played the piano in front of him, that time in the teahouse.I actually forgot!

"Xihe, when you are free, teach me to play the piano too?"

"it is good."

After passing through the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting rooms, Gu Xihe brought Zhang Chi into the library.

As soon as Zhang Chi entered the door, he was shocked by the shelves of books.

"There are so many books! It's like a library."

"Yup!"

Gu Xihe's face was full of pride. These books were organized by him, added by him, and repaired by him.

He picked up a book, flipped through two pages, and suddenly said, "Brother Chi, if you want, you can put every book you publish here."

Zhang Chi rubbed his nose, "This...my book is not up to standard, right?"

"Why not enough? The teacher here has all kinds of books, all kinds of books. If you agree, the teacher will be happy."

"Okay! That's the deal! Every book I publish in the future will be donated to the academy for free."

"Brother, the teacher is calling you to have dinner!"

Zhang Chi turned his head and saw the little fat man Xu Wu again.

It's so late?No wonder it was so dark in the room.He and Gu Xihe were so engrossed in reading that they forgot the time.Gu Xihe is not exaggerating, the books here are really numerous and miscellaneous, he found several books about tea, as well as biographical novels.

He promised Xu Wu to go there right away, and looked around the bookshelves, but he didn't see Gu Xihe, where did he go?

He raised his voice and shouted "Xihe!"

Gu Xihe only heard a promise, but no one came over for a long time.

He walked over following the sound, and saw Gu Xihe standing up while leaning on the wall.

He took two steps over in a hurry, patted the dust off his body, and asked, "Xihe, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Xihe smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I've been squatting for a long time, and I felt a little dizzy. It's better now."

"Is it really all right? Come on, I'll help you out!"

"No. Where am I so delicate?"

The light was too dim, and Zhang Chi couldn't see his face clearly, but hearing his voice was normal, he took his hand, "If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me."

"Ah."

Xu Wu was right at the door. Although the conversation between the two of them was not loud, because the room was very quiet, he could hear the general idea.He shook his body, oh, Senior Brother Gu and Senior Sister-in-law are so sweet!

Dinner was eaten in Lu Kaiting's room.

Lu Kaiting smiled and said: "Tonight is a family feast, just the four of us. Xihe went up to the mountain to study with me when he was a teenager. He is my half son. Let's eat slowly and don't want those brats to disturb us."

Gu Xihe's eyes were red, and he said in a low voice, "Teacher, I'll listen to you."

"Okay! Then our masters should have a good drink!"

Lu Zixiu smiled and said, "Xihe, father is gluttonous again."

Lu Kaiting glared at him, but couldn't help smiling, "Didn't the ancients say that?" Since ancient times, the sages are lonely, but the drinkers keep their names. "Xihe comes once in a while, how can we not get drunk?"

Lu Zixiu was helpless, "Father, it's not like you don't know Xihe's drinking capacity."

"Don't be afraid, Xihe doesn't drink, isn't there still Zhang Chi?"

Zhang Chi quickly stated, "I'll drink with Teacher Lu."

The dishes at night are lighter than those at noon, and only a plate of steamed fish is a meat dish.

Lu Zixiu first picked up a chopstick for the old man, and then picked up another chopstick for Gu Xihe.

"Xihe, your favorite steamed fish, I specially asked Master Zhang to buy fresh fish, only put green onion and ginger, you can eat it."

"Thank you, brother."

Gu Xihe picked up the white and tender fish meat, which was his favorite food at first, but just put it in his mouth, and he smelled the fishy smell, and a feeling of boredom and vomit suddenly came up.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the feeling of vomiting, and put the fish in his mouth.He couldn't spit it out, this was specially prepared for him by his teacher and senior brother.

He smiled and said, "Well. Very tender."

He thought that his concealment was perfect, but Zhang Chi, who was always watching him, saw his pause for a moment.

He calmly added a bowl of tofu and mixed mushroom soup to Gu Xihe, and put several chopsticks of green vegetables into his bowl.

Gu Xihe took two mouthfuls of the warm and refreshing soup in a row, and then suppressed the feeling of nausea.

It could be seen that Gu Kaiting was really happy, he talked a lot more than at noon, and all the questions were about Gu Xihe's situation at home, what books he read at home, what poems he wrote, how the business of the teahouse was, how the old people at home How, no matter how big or small.

Gu Xihe answered them one by one. The two of them didn't look like teachers and students, but more like elders and juniors.

Lu Zixiu persuaded him to drink less.

Lu Kaiting said with a smile: "I am happy to be drunk today! There will be less chances like this in the future. Zixiu, this autumn test, I can rest assured that you will go to the imperial capital with Xihe."

Lu Zixiu said: "Father, don't worry, I have already discussed it with Xihe."

"That's good. Xihe, come, eat more of your favorite fish!"

"Well. Thank you teacher."

The smell of the cold fish became stronger.Gu Xihe couldn't bear the backlash in his stomach, and stood up to apologize: "Teacher, I'm going out for a while."

Because it was convenient for him to go, Lu Kaiting waved his hand to let him go.

"At the teacher's place, you can do whatever you want."

Seeing Gu Xihe leaving in a hurry, Zhang Chi was very worried, so he said, "Teacher, I'll go and have a look."

Then chased out.

Lu Kaiting squinted his eyes, emptied the wine in his mouth, and said with a smile, "Someone in Xihe is in pain! Zixiu, when you have that person, I will be relieved."

Zhang Chi chased him out, and saw Gu Xihe hastily turned to the back of the house, and then vomited out while leaning on the wall.

He was frightened and subconsciously ran over.

"Xihe, why are you vomiting again?"

After Gu Xihe vomited it out, he felt much better, and after a while, he said, "I don't know, maybe the smell of fish is too strong? I can't help but want to vomit as soon as I smell the fishy smell."

Zhang Chi gently stroked his back, "That fish is very fresh, not too fishy...Xihe, are you really sick?"

As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gave it to him.

Gu Xihe felt much better now, took the handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and said with a smile, "Of course not. Feel it, I don't have a fever."

Zhang Chi touched his forehead, it was indeed not burning, and it was still slightly cold.

He said seriously: "Xihe, when you return to Gucheng, you must see the doctor."

Gu Xihe didn't want him to worry, so he agreed, "Okay, I'll definitely go."

The two turned around, only to see Lu Zixiu standing in the corridor, looking at them.

"Xihe, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Xihe smiled: "It's okay, maybe I caught a cold."

"Really? Let my dad help you feel the pulse later."

Zhang Chi wondered, "Does Teacher Lu know medicine?"

Lu Zixiu glanced at him, and said calmly, "Of course. My father is well-read, so naturally he knows a little bit about medicine."

Zhang Chi recalled that he had read many medical books in the library in the afternoon.

"Then trouble the teacher."

Gu Xihe said, "Brother, don't let the teacher know, the teacher will be worried."

Lu Zixiu snorted coldly, "You know my father's temper, if you don't tell him and let him find out by himself, you should know what the consequences will be."

Gu Xihe lowered his head, indeed, the old man doesn't like others to conceal him and lie to him.

Back in the room, Lu Kaiting really asked, "Xihe, what's the matter with you? Are you so pale?"

"Teacher, I'm fine."

"All right?" The old man snorted, and Gu Xihe didn't dare to speak.

He drank the wine in his glass in one gulp and waved, "Come here, I'll take your pulse."

"Oh."

Gu Xihe honestly sat down beside Lu Kaiting and held out his hand.

Lu Kaiting half-closed his eyes and put his hand on his wrist.

Lu Kaiting felt that he was drunk, or that he had read all those medical books for nothing, otherwise why is his pulse so strange?He took a sip of herbal tea to wake himself up a bit.

Gu Xihe felt that the teacher's expression was very strange, he looked at him without blinking, and kept aiming at his stomach.

Lu Zixiu also felt that something was wrong with his father, the expression on his face seemed to be surprised, then a little bit happy, then regretful, and then thoughtful.

He couldn't help asking: "Father, what happened to Xihe? Did he catch a cold?"

The old man seemed to be frightened, he gave him a sharp look, and slowly withdrew his hand.Slowly said: "Xihe is fine, just tired. Come, eat, you go to rest after eating!"

Only then did Zhang Chi let go of his gripping heart.

After dinner, Gu Kaiting said: "Xihe, have a good rest tonight, don't rush to get up tomorrow."

"Thank you, teacher."

Gu Kaiting seemed to have something to say, he hesitated for a long time before saying: "Okay, old man, I'm tired. Zixiu, take the two of them to rest!"

"Yes."
