Time Traveling: The Man and Wife Heads the House

Tao Zixing stood at the corner of the street, looking at the gate of Mingxiang Teahouse from a distance, he stood there for a while, several people went in and out.Looking at the pitch-black appearance of his teahouse, he felt aggrieved, why did his teahouse catch fire?Really cheap Zhangchi.

He went to a carpenter just now, and after he had taken the measurements, he said that the house was too damaged and needed to be repaired, and almost half of the tables, chairs and benches needed to be redone.The carpenter quoted him 30 taels of silver, not including the treatment of the wall and the floor.

Tao Zixing did the calculations, in addition to these, plus other odds and ends of expenses, it would definitely exceed this amount.In the past two months, there was no income from the closure of the store, and the total loss was four to fifty taels of silver.

And those bastards Ding Pu and Chen Gui have left, he needs to find someone else.The more Tao Zixing thought about it, the angrier he became, and the look in his eyes at Mingxiang Teahouse became more terrifying.

Tao Zixing stood on the street for a long time, his whole body was blown through by the cold wind, and then he walked back with his face darkened and his hands behind his back.From a distance, he saw Yu Yong standing at the door of his teahouse and stretching his neck to look out. As soon as he saw him, he rushed to meet him.

Yu Yong looked anxious, walked to Tao Zixing, and said in a low voice: "Master, it's not good, the young master was beaten!"

"Ah! Tao Yi was beaten? By whom? How is it now?"

"I don't know, madam told you to go back quickly."

"This bastard, is he committing crimes again? He idles around all day, doesn't study well, and doesn't learn how to do business, so he just knows how to fool around outside! This time he was beaten by someone? He's really getting more and more promising! "

Tao Zixing was startled and angry, and he scolded as he walked, but his heart ached, "Have you asked the doctor to come and see it? What did you say?"

"Please, the doctor said that the left arm is injured, and it will take at least three months to heal?"

"so serious?"

Tao Zixing couldn't help but quicken his pace.

When he got home and saw Tao Yi, Tao Zixing let go of his worries.Tao Yi's face was black and blue, his arms were dangling, and he looked sad, but he didn't seem to be in any serious trouble.

Seeing that Tao Yi's life was not in danger, Tao Zixing was relieved and even more angry.

"What's the matter with you? Didn't I tell you? Stop causing trouble, it's better now, have you been taught a lesson? Who beat you?"

Tao Yi grimaced, "Father, it's none of my business! How do I know that woman is He Jiahao's wife? Really, He Jiahao doesn't care if a married woman runs away!"

"He Jiahao? Why did you provoke him again?"

Tao Yi poked his neck and said, "What do you mean I offended him? I just saw his wife is pretty, so I took a second look..."

"Just took a second look?"

Tao Zixing knew his virtues, sure enough, Tao Yi muttered again: "I just, just said a few words in the past..."

"Evil! How dare you provoke the He family? You don't know how much you weigh? Huh?"

Tao Yi blushed and argued, "No! I just talked to her in the past. Dad, you haven't seen that woman, have you? She really looks good..."

"Asshole! You still say these assholes when you go home! Do you know who the He family is? How dare you provoke them?"

Tao Yi was not convinced, "Isn't his family just rich? It's just a silk and satin shop, our family is also rich, and our family has a teahouse!"

Tao Zixing raised his hands tremblingly, "You! Can our family compare with others? Although the He family is a businessman, their business has gone to the palace, and the head of the silk factory has invited He several times The old man of the family went to instruct the skills, and even the royal relatives of the imperial capital paid a lot of money to buy their fabrics, but their family is an ordinary businessman?"

"I……"

Mrs. Tao saw her son drooping his head, and quickly said: "Oh, master, my son knows he is wrong, so please stop attacking him. He is still young and doesn't understand many things. You, as a father, can teach him well." gone?"

Tao Zixing interrupted her, "Is it because I don't teach him, or is he unwilling to learn? A loving mother is a loser. When I was his age, how could I be as stupid as him?"

Seeing that Tao Zixing was really angry, Mrs. Tao quickly took a breath, "Master, calm down, our mother and I still rely on you!"

Looking at the two of them, Tao Zixing felt disheartened for a while. How could he have given birth to such a son after working so hard?

He pointed at Tao Yi angrily and said, "You stay at home obediently, if you dare to run out again, I will break your legs!"

Tao Yi stared and wanted to be stubborn, Madam Tao dragged him to the back room.

"Yi'er, just listen to your father! He is doing it for your own good!"

Tao Zixing saw that the two of them had left, and sat down heavily on the chair. Wasn't this child very smart and affectionate when he was young?How do you become a different person when you grow up?

Thinking of those guests who went to Mingxiang, many of them were his guests, but they were dragged away by Zhang Chi.

He slammed his fist on the table, he had been safe in the town for many years, how could he become so troubled with Zhang Chi?

Mrs. Tao happened to enter the room and was startled by Tao Zixing's actions.He hurriedly stepped forward to hold his hand, and shouted: "Master, why did you use such great strength? Does your hand hurt? I'll ask Yu Yong to ask a doctor to come and see it for you?"

Tao Zixing broke free from his hand and touched his right hand with his left hand, which really hurt a little.

"It's all right."

He was still angry with Tao Yi, and his tone was a little stiff.

Mrs. Tao sat on the chair next to her and said in a low voice: "Master, I know you have worked hard. Tao Yi is already so old, why don't you let him do it. If you don't let him go, he will never grow up."

Tao Zixing sneered: "Let him do it? Hehe, let him light another fire?"

Mrs. Tao put on a serious face, "Tao Yi said he didn't do it, and I don't think he did it. Master, he is your son! You don't believe him? Although he loves to play, he won't do this. Stupid thing!"

Tao Zixing sighed, "I also believe that Tao Yi didn't do it. I'm just upset, you know, the He family is not so easy to mess with."

Mrs. Tao stared and raised her voice, "Our Yi'er has been beaten like this by them, what else will they do?"

She changed the subject and said again, "Master, Yi'er is not young anymore, it's time to marry him a wife. When he has a wife and children, maybe he will take it easy!"

Tao Zixing listened to this, and nodded, "Well, it's time for Yi'er to marry a wife. You are his mother, so you should be more careful and find him a virtuous and gentle wife. Yier."

Seeing that Tao Zixing agreed, Mrs. Tao became happy again, "Master, I see that the daughter of the owner of Yue Restaurant Liu is about the same age as our Yi'er, and I will ask Sister Hong to propose marriage tomorrow."

"Deyuelou Boss Liu's daughter?" Tao Zixing shook his head, "I think it's better to forget it! That person's eyes are on the top of his head, how could he like Yi'er."

"What's wrong with our Yi'er, we are also a good-looking talent! Although our teahouse is burnt down now, it has been repaired, and it is still the same as before? By the way, master, let's take this opportunity to decorate the teahouse even better. , much better than Mingxiang Teahouse, don’t they all come to our teahouse?”

Tao Zixing didn't speak, but smiled wryly in his heart, the previous layout of our teahouse was much better than Mingxiang, but so what?Wasn't he robbed of customers by Zhang Chi?If it wasn't for Zhang Chi, if there was no Mingxiang Tea House...

Thinking of this, the anger in his heart welled up again.Zhang Chi, I'm having a hard time, so don't you too!

Yan Xi and Yan Chen moved to the second floor of Mingxiang. Because Yan Chen was still young, they lived in the same room, but men and women were different after all. Zhang Chi carefully changed them into two single beds. Each bed was placed against the wall, and bed curtains were installed in front of Yan Xi's bed.

At night, both Yan Xi and Yan Chen went to bed and turned off the lights, but Yan Chen didn't feel sleepy at all.He rolled around on the new bed and exclaimed excitedly: "Sister, this bed is warm and comfortable, it's great!"

Yan Xi was a few years older than him, and much calmer.

"Xiaochen, following my sister will make you suffer."

Yan Chen lay down on the bed, looked at Yan Xi, "No, without my sister, I might not have the chance to grow up."

Yan Xi could hear the trembling in Yan Chen's voice, and felt annoyed that she had said the wrong thing.Xiaochen has never seen his mother since he was a child. Although he doesn't say it, he still feels sad in his heart.

She quickly changed the subject, "The quilt and mattress on this bed are all new, don't wet the bed!"

Yan Chen suddenly became anxious, "I don't know how to do it! Sis, I'm so old, how can I wet the bed?"

Yan Xi smiled and said, "Didn't I remind you? Do you want to go to the toilet?"

"Don't go!" Yan Chen rolled on the bed, wrapped the quilt around his body like a big silkworm chrysalis, "I'm going to sleep."

After a while, Yan Xi heard his long breathing.This brat sleeps fast!Yan Xi bent her mouth and closed her eyes.

"Mom! Sister, sister!"

Yan Xi felt that she hadn't slept for a long time when she was awakened by Yan Chen's cry.Although his voice was not loud, it seemed very abrupt in the small room in the quiet night.

Yan Xi got out of bed quickly, put on her coat, and got on Yan Chen's bed. In the dark, she couldn't see Yan Chen's face clearly, so she could only hold him in her arms including the quilt.

"Xiaochen, Xiaochen, wake up!"

Yan Xi lowered her voice and yelled several times before Yan Chen opened her eyes, which were full of confusion.It took a while to realize, "Sister, I dreamed about our mother."

Yan Chen was still young when his mother died, so he didn't remember her appearance at all.Hearing what he said, Yan Xi felt uncomfortable.No matter how good he is, he can't replace his longing for his mother, right?Especially with such an asshole father, the lack of maternal love has a greater impact on Xiaochen.

Yan Xi forced a chuckle, "My mother? What does she look like?"

Yan Chen's eyes were blank, as if he was recalling the scene in his dream, and he said after a while: "I didn't see it clearly. But she was very gentle, hugging me, coaxing me, singing to me, and smiling at me. Sister, my mother Why don't you want us? Why are she and dad so cruel?"

Yan Xi's heart tightened, and she pretended to be angry and said: "Nonsense, why would our mother not want us? Just like in your dream, when you were young, she always hugged you, coaxed you, and sang to you , coax you to sleep."

"Really? What song does she sing?"

"She sang..." Yan Xi thought for a while, and hummed a little song.

The song was melodious and slow, it was a lullaby, but the more Yan Chen listened to it, the brighter his eyes became. When Yan Xi finished singing a song, he broke free from Yan Xi's embrace and sat up.

"Sister, is this really what my mother sang?"

"Of course, can I still lie to you? Besides, it wasn't my mother who sang it, so how could I know how to sing it? It was my mother who sang it to lull you to sleep. If I listen to it too much, I will be able to."

"Oh."

Yan Chen felt that her sister was right, so she lay down again, "Sister, what does our mother look like?"

Yan Xi smiled faintly, "My mother is very beautiful. You and I both have big eyes, so we followed her. When my mother smiled, there was a small dimple on her left cheek."

Yan Chen turned around, lay on his back and looked at the ceiling, imagining how gentle and beautiful his mother was.

Yan Xi didn't speak anymore. The woman in my memory was weak but strong. She had a jerk husband, but she protected her and Xiao Chen, and took all the hardships by herself.

The room fell silent, and the two children were immersed in their own thoughts.

Suddenly, there was a "click" sound from downstairs, as if something had fallen to the ground.

Yan Chen and Yan Xi held their breath at the same time, looked at each other, Yan Xi whispered: "I'll go downstairs and have a look."

"No, I'm with you."

"it is good."

The two got up and put on their clothes and shoes. Yan Xi picked up a long sword, and Yan Chen also picked up a long gun and held it in his hand.Zhang Chi was worried that the two of them would live alone, so they put the long swords and spears that they used to sell as weapons beside them as self-defense weapons.

The two of them didn't light up the lights, but fortunately the moon was very round and bright that day, and they went downstairs in the dark with the help of the dim light.

Walking into the lobby, they stopped and listened carefully, but nothing seemed to be moving.

Yan Chen asked angrily, "Sister, do you want to light the lamp?"

Yan Xi shook his head, at this moment, he heard the sound of "Ka Ka".

The two turned their heads at the same time. The sound came from a window on the left, as if someone was prying the window.

Yan Chen and Yan Xi quickly looked at each other, Yan Xi said: "Xiao Chen, you go to the door, if any bad guys come in, you open the door and go out to call for someone."

"No, I'm here with you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the window was pried open, and then a burning fireball was thrown in!The fireball was thrown on the table, and the tablecloth was set on fire!

Yan Xi's eyes narrowed suddenly, she pushed Yan Chen away, "Quickly open the door and go out!"

She remembered that she put two buckets of water on the counter during the day, ran over in a few steps, picked up the bucket and threw it at the fireball!

Yan Chen was nervous about his sister, but wanted to know who set the fire, so he pulled the latch and rushed out.

When he went out, he saw a figure lying by the window.Yan Chen gritted his teeth and rushed over, pierced the man with the spear in his hand, and shouted: "You villain!"

The person lying by the window originally wanted to see if the fire was on, but was startled by Yan Chen's shout, he didn't expect to come out so soon.He turned around and wanted to run, but Yan Chen angrily threw the gun in his hand, and the end of the gun was stuck in the man's thigh.

With a sound of "Ouch", the man fell to his knees on the ground.
