When Zhang Chi and Gu Xihe returned to Gu's house, the six members of Gu Xicai and Gu Xibao's family were already waiting at home. They were very happy to see Zhang Chi and Gu Xihe.And Xiaoan, he ran over as soon as he saw "Zhang Chi", and was about to jump on "Zhang Chi", the real Zhang Chi quickly grabbed him.

He picked him up, scratched his nose, and said with a smile: "Xiao An seems to have grown taller again! Daddy and father have been away for so long, do you miss us?"

Xiao An put his hands upstairs to Zhang Chi's neck, and said in a soft voice, "I want to."

"Good boy! We miss you too. Be good, your father and father have a little brother in their belly, you can't touch his belly."

"Xiao An remembers."

Xiao An nodded.

Gu Xicai said: "Since the second brother is back, I'd better go to the teahouse more often. In the past few months, I have been very nervous, and I am more concerned about my own rice shop. It's just that my ability is limited, and the business of the teahouse is still so-so. No improvement."

Gu Xihe said with a smile: "Brother is willing to help, Zhang Chi and I are very grateful. Don't worry, we will go to the teahouse tomorrow."

Zhang Chi also said: "Yes. I was going to go today, but my mother delayed me."

Mentioning Chen Guihua, Gu Li was very angry, "I have never seen a woman like Chen Guihua, who can frame her own child. If Zhang Chi was not really pregnant, even Xihe would be implicated!"

Gu Zuocheng said: "Should she be honest this time? Even the county master judged her to be vexatious. She was not locked up because of the face of the second child."

Gu Li said bitterly: "That kind of person should be locked up and not released."

"She is Zhang Chi's mother after all, alas!" Gu Zuocheng sighed, and then greeted several children, "Today is a happy day, let's not talk about these annoying things. Come, everyone, take a seat, let's have a good drink A cup!"

Gu Xibao also said: "Yes mother, second brother and second brother-in-law come back today, let's not talk about these disappointing things."

Gu Lishi finally had a look of joy on his face, "Yes, yes. Xihe! You have been walking for so long, and your face has become thinner. You need to eat more. And Zhang Chi, you are not alone now. People, you need to eat more."

Gu Xihe took the chicken soup his mother specially scooped up for him, "Thank you, mother."

Gu Li shook her head with a smile, but said: "Zhang Chi, why is your voice so hoarse? Xihe's voice also seems to be uncomfortable, is it sick? Have you taken any medicine?"

Zhang Chi was startled, he was still careful of a woman.They can disguise their appearance, but they can't disguise their voices. They can only speak in a low voice, which is a little different from the previous voice.Fortunately, no one noticed when I was outside.

He glanced at Gu Xihe, told him not to be nervous, cleared his throat, and said, "Zhang Chi had a serious illness in Maoling before, and his voice became hoarse after he recovered. Because he was pregnant, he had no Dare to take medicine casually. I am not sick, but my throat is a little uncomfortable."

Gu Lishi said: "You may be busy taking care of Zhang Chi and get angry. I will ask Mrs. Gui to stew some pears with rock sugar for you in a while. It will not affect the children. Eat more, and your throat will heal soon. .”

"Thank you ma'am."

Seeing that other people didn't care about this issue, Zhang Chi was relieved.

Zhang Chi and Gu Xihe came back, Xiao An was the happiest.He sat between Gu Xi and Zhang Chi, his father gave him a piece of meat for a while, and his father gave him a piece of fish for a while, he couldn't help but eat more, his belly was bulging.

After a meal, it was already night, and Zhang Chi and Gu Xihe couldn't resist the old man's persuasion, so they lived in Gu's house.And Xiao Anfei wanted to sleep with them.

Zhang Chi understood the little guy's thoughts, he felt insecure after not seeing him and Gu Xihe for so long.

After bathing the little guy, hugging him to bed, and putting him to sleep, when he looked at Gu Xihe again, he closed his eyes slightly and was already drowsy.

Zhang Chi held him in his arms and said softly, "Are you tired? Shall I rub your waist for you?"

Feeling Zhang Chi's moderate strength, Gu Xihe was so comfortable that he couldn't open his eyes even more, but he pulled himself together, "Brother Chi, no one has discovered our real identity, right?"

Zhang Chi was very sure: "Of course not. Didn't you see that they didn't suspect at all?"

Gu Xihe let out a "hmm", turned over, and turned his back to Zhang Chi, always getting tired easily in the same posture.

"My mother said that our voices have changed?"

Zhang Chi recalled the scene during the meal, and proudly said: "I'm still smart, right? I got rounded."

"That's right! You're the smartest!" Gu Xihe smiled, and said worriedly, "Brother Chi, we still have to go up the mountain as soon as possible. Always here, I'm afraid that sooner or later we will reveal our secrets."

"Well. I know. We'll go to the teahouse tomorrow, and then we'll go up the mountain."

"What reason are you looking for?"

Zhang Chi thought for a while, "It's really a bit troublesome."

Gu Xi and Shang Shan still talked about it. After all, he was a student of Yunshan Academy, but Zhang Chi was very reluctant to go, and he was still pregnant.

"How about...you can think about it tomorrow!"

After Gu Xihe finished talking in a daze, he fell asleep.

Zhang Chi touched his thick waist, knowing that he was extremely tired, so he kissed his cheek pitifully, and closed his eyes.

Because Xiaoan had to go to school, the family of three got up early the next morning.After breakfast, I sent Xiao An to the school, and Zhang Chi and Gu Xihe went to the teahouse.

Zhang Chi thought they had come early enough, he didn't want to open the door of the teahouse to see the lights and festoons inside, with big flowers on the table, it was more festive and lively than any previous event.As soon as they entered the teahouse, they received warm applause.Looking carefully, there were no guests in the lobby, only Sun Zheng, Cui Jingshun, Cui Er and He Jiahao were standing in front of the counter.

Zhang Chi supported Gu Xihe, and said with a smile, "You guys made it like this, I thought Sun Zheng was going to have a wedding."

Sun Zheng blushed and said embarrassingly, "Boss, you made fun of me as soon as you came back."

Zhang Chi said: "Where am I making fun of you? Tweety is here today, please tell me plainly, when will you marry her?"

He Jiahao also followed suit: "Sun Zheng, Boss Gu is right, if he is a man, he will give you a correct sentence! My wife has already prepared a dowry for Cui'er."

Cui'er blushed and turned her eyes to He Jiahao and Zhang Chi, "Mr. He, why are you also making fun of this slave? I'm going to sue the lady!"

He Jiahao hurriedly bowed, "Miss Cui Er, I made a mistake."

Zhang Chi was keenly aware of something from their conversation, "Master He, are you married to Miss Jiang?"

He Jiahao immediately narrowed his eyes as he laughed, with a somewhat smug look on his face, "Yes! Because my father-in-law was transferred, Ting Lan and I rushed to get married in August."

Zhang Chi clasped his fists and said, "Congratulations on getting your wish! It's a pity I didn't get your wedding wine."

He Jiahao said: "It's easy to talk about. When Brother Zhang feels better, we must have a drink."

"Okay!" Zhang Chi looked at Sun Zheng and Cui Er, "I missed a wedding, but Sun Zheng and Cui Er don't want to miss it. Sun Zheng, the atmosphere is so good today, do you want to propose marriage?"

Tweety rolled her eyes, "Boss Gu, I didn't expect you to be so good at telling jokes!"

Zhang Chi realized that he was now wearing a face of Xihe, touched his nose, but still smiled on his face, "I want to drink wedding wine!" Then he looked at the lobby pretendingly, "This lobby is Who arranged it? Yes, yes."

Cui Jingshun hurriedly said: "Second young master, Zhang Chi, Sun Zheng and Miss Cui'er prepared these. They guessed that you would come today, so they made preparations last night, and came here early today to wait for you."

Gu Xihe nodded with a smile and said, "You guys have a heart."

Sun Zheng hurriedly said: "It should. It should. Zhang Chi, you haven't come for a long time, why is Feng Feng as serious as the boss?"

Zhang Chi glanced at Gu Xihe, and blinked at him, meaning that the two of us speak in different styles, it's better to talk less, Gu Xihe nodded slightly.

Zhang Chi said: "Let's all sit down! Sun Zheng, what good tea is there in the shop recently? It's delicious. Feel free to bring it up and let's try it."

"Yes. I'm ready. Sit down. I'll be right there."

Zhang Chi helped Gu Xihe sit down, smiled and said to Cui Jingshun, "I haven't seen you for a few months, Sun Zheng is much more mature than before."

Cui Jingshun nodded, "Yes. You are not here. This teahouse is thanks to Sun Zheng. The person who used to have difficulty speaking a word seems to be a completely different person now. After all, he is young and quick to learn. He has learned everything from you Go. Although there are still not many words, but greeting customers, contacting dim sum shops, and finding ways to make drinks are really conscientious."

Just as Sun Zheng brought tea, he blushed when he heard Cui Jingshun's words.

"Uncle Cui praised me too much! What I do is far from Zhang Chi's. I can't think of new ways to attract customers, I can't tell stories, and I can't make new drinks. The teahouse is now, thanks to Uncle Cui With Young Master Gu. Young Master Gu often comes here to check the accounts with Uncle Cui, and he will also give me advice on how to do business."

"Is the teahouse still peaceful recently?"

Cui Jingshun said: "Everything in the teahouse is normal, even if there are people who don't want to pay for tea, let Sun Zheng teach them a lesson."

Zhang Chi thought that Sun Zheng had also been on the battlefield, so he was not surprised at all.

He picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, sipped it, and took another sip.

"Yes. This black tea is good."

Sun Zheng laughed "hehe", "Uncle Cui brought in all the tea leaves. Boss, Zhang Chi, it will be good if you come back. I've been worried! I'm afraid this teahouse won't be able to continue."

Zhang Chi patted him on the shoulder, "I have a little confidence in myself, this teahouse will rely on you in the future!"

Sun Zheng rubbed his nose, not understanding, "Do you rely on me?"

Zhang Chi pointed at Gu Xihe, "Yes. Look at Brother Chi's belly, do you think he can still stay here every day?"

"Then... and you, the boss!"

Zhang Chi smiled and said, "I have to take care of Zhang Chi, study, and prepare for exams. I'm afraid I don't have that much time."

"what?"

Looking at Sun Zheng's frightened eyes, Zhang Chi smiled even more happily.

Cui Jingshun seemed to have thought of this a long time ago and was not surprised.

"In the past few months when Zhang Chi was away, Sun Zheng didn't tell stories, but the flow of customers remained stable, which shows that the teahouse is on the right track. Zhang Chi doesn't need to come here every day, as long as he often thinks about snacks and drinks."

Zhang Chi said: "There is no problem with this."

Hearing what Zhang Chi said, Sun Zheng was relieved.As long as Zhang Chi is in Guzhen, even if he doesn't come to the teahouse every day, he still has confidence in his heart.

Zhang Chi looked at the empty lobby and said, "Why is there no guest here?"

Sun Zheng rubbed his neck with a smile, "I know that you are back, and you will definitely come to the teahouse today, so the teahouse is closed today. However, I have already informed the guests that the teahouse will have the most powerful promotion tomorrow, because our boss is back! "

Zhang Chi smiled and said, "So we must come tomorrow?"

Tweety said: "Of course, you are the boss!"

A few people talked and laughed, and soon it was noon.After having lunch together, Gu Xihe took Zhang Chi back home on the grounds that Zhang Chi was tired.

When they returned to their own home, they saw that the windows were bright and clean, presumably Mr. Gu had asked someone to clean up the house for them.

Zhang Chi accompanied Gu Xihe to take a nap, and the two of them lay on the familiar kang, only then did they feel like they were at home.

Zhang Chi said: "Xihe, you don't want to go to the teahouse tomorrow."

"Is it possible?" Gu Xihe hesitated, "The previous activities in the teahouse were all hosted by Zhang Chi."

Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Aren't I just Zhang Chi?"

Gu Xihe thought for a while, then closed his eyes again.

"it is good."

The next day's teahouse activities went smoothly, the lobby was almost full of guests, most of whom were acquaintances.Those who wanted to hear Zhang Chi's story were disappointed because Zhang Chi never came.

Sui Yuzhang said: "Boss Gu, this teahouse of yours doesn't tell stories anymore, it seems that something is missing. Until now, I still feel a little uncomfortable!"

Someone next to him echoed, "That's right! Boss Gu, Zhang Chi won't tell stories anymore, will the book still come out?"

"That's right! It's really itchy to stop talking after hearing half of it."

"I haven't heard it for so long, I almost forgot the previous story."

Boss Gu, who was actually the real Zhang Chi, stood in front of the podium and raised his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet.

"You are all old acquaintances in the teahouse, so I won't say polite words. You also know that Zhang Chi is pregnant and is now seven months old. Can you bear to let him tell you stories with a big belly?"

The guests all laughed.

Zhang Chi continued: "As for publishing the book, there is no problem. He Jiahao and Mr. He promised that as long as he gets all the manuscripts, he will print them immediately and it will be printed in about a month. If you want a book, you can go to He You can order it from your son. Of course, you can also book it from me, and the price of the book is the same."

Sui Yuzhang said first: "Boss Gu, I'll order ten books first."

Someone next to him asked him, "Why do you want so much?"

Sui Yuzhang smiled and said, "I bought five copies of the previous "Journey to the West", all of which were given away by my wife. This time I will buy a few more copies, just in case."

"That's right! The book in my house was also borrowed, so I'll buy a few more this time."

Listening to the chaotic discussions below, Zhang Chi was not annoyed at all, but relaxed and satisfied.Just like now, opening a small shop, earning a little money, supporting my wife and children, and being safe and sound, isn’t it a lifetime?
