Time Traveling: The Man and Wife Heads the House

Gu Xihe heated up the dishes, re-fried two more dishes, and made a new pot of tea before sitting down at the dinner table to talk with Chen Guihua.

What did Chen Guihua tell him?She didn't have time to talk either, so she just ate.

She and Zhang Qing had a big meal, and they ate most of the food. They couldn't eat anymore, so they wiped their mouths with a handkerchief, and took a sip of water from the teacup.

She turned her head and looked around, "Where's Zhang Chi? I've been here for so long, why haven't I seen him?"

"Brother Chi is sleeping. He's been busy with the house recently. He's too tired. He drank again at noon, so let him sleep more..."

Chen Guihua stared, and shouted: "He's actually sleeping! I'm his mother, and he won't get up to entertain me when I come? How can he be someone else's son? Get him up quickly!"

Gu Xihe said sincerely: "Mother, if you have anything to do, you can tell me the same thing."

"Tell you? You are not my son, I can't tell you! Go and call Zhang Chi up! I have something to tell him."

"this..."

Gu Xihe was still a little hesitant, wanting Zhang Chi to sleep more, but what Chen Guihua said was right, there is no reason for the elders to wait for the younger ones.

"Mom, I'm going to call him up now."

Gu Xihe just stood up when he heard a lazy voice say, "What do you want from me?"

Chen Guihua turned her head and saw Zhang Chi standing at the door, raising her hand and yawning.Then she walked over slowly and sat next to Gu Xihe, "Mother, you are here. Sorry, I fell asleep."

After finishing speaking, he yawned again, his eyes half-closed, as if he was not very awake.

Seeing his lazy look, Chen Guihua became angry.

"Zhang Chi, you're sleeping at home in broad daylight! I've been here for quite a while, and you just got up. Is that plausible?"

Zhang Chi slumped on the chair, resting his head on Gu Xihe, still not energetic.

"Mom, I have a terrible headache. If you have anything to do, just tell me. If there is nothing to do, I won't accompany you. I have to go to sleep."

Saying that, he raised his hand and rubbed his temple.

"You!" Chen Guihua stood up abruptly, "What do you mean? Drive me away?"

Zhang Chi's posture remained unchanged, he raised his eyelids to look at Chen Guihua, and then lowered his eyelids, "Mother, look at what you said. Why did I drive you away? I'm just telling you that Xihe and I are a family. Telling him about something is the same as telling me about it."

Gu Xihe looked at Zhang Chi in surprise, and Zhang Chi was also looking at him, his face immediately heated up because of the naturalness in his eyes, and he lowered his head slightly.

Chen Guihua's face changed with anger, but she remembered that she had something to ask from Zhang Chi, so she held back her anger.Taking a few deep breaths, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Zhang Chi, I heard that your house is very special, I want to take a look."

Zhang Chi sat without moving, "Okay! Xihe, show my mother the house, and I'll sit down for a while."

Gu Xihe asked worriedly: "Brother Chi, how are you? Is it just a headache? How about I ask a doctor to take a look?"

Zhang Chi shook his head, "It's okay, I'll just rest for a while."

Gu Xihe poured a cup of tea and put it in front of him, "Drink some hot water, you will feel better."

Zhang Chi patted the back of his hand lightly and nodded.

Gu Xihe saw that his face was fine, so he stood up and said to Chen Guihua, "Mother, I'll take you there."

Chen Guihua took a closer look at the room, feeling sour and astringent in her heart.Unexpectedly, Zhang Chi, whom she despises, has the ability to transform a house that has been abandoned for many years into a new look.Look at this chair, this coffee table, and this wallpaper, they are many times better than her home.More importantly, Zhangchi is particularly practical for room renovation.For example, in that bathroom, the floor is paved with stones, so there is no fear of splashing water when washing.There is also the bed in Xiao An's room, which is short and can be sat on without much effort.

Looking at this house, Chen Guihua felt itchy in her heart, but how much would it cost?As Zhang Qing said, old man Gu didn't just give them 50 taels of silver, did he?Thinking of this, Chen Guihua felt like a cat scratching her heart, how much money did Zhang Chi get?

"Xihe, this house is really nice. How much did you spend in total?"

Gu Xihe replied respectfully, "I don't know, it's all Zhang Chi's responsibility, and I didn't interfere at all."

"Hmph! If you don't want to say it, forget it!"

"Mom, I didn't mean that..."

Gu Xihe was in a hurry to explain, but Chen Guihua turned around and walked out of Xiaoan's room.On the contrary, Gu Xihe breathed a sigh of relief, he was always at a loss in front of her.

Back in the living room, Zhang Chi was still sitting on the chair with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

Gu Xihe walked over a few steps and said in a low voice, "Brother Chi, don't sleep here, you'll catch a cold."

Zhang Chi opened his eyes, and his eyes were completely clear.He sat up straight and asked with a smile, "Have you finished watching?"

Gu Xihe nodded.

Chen Guihua sat back on the chair, Zhang Qing looked at her impatiently, she gave him a slight wink to signal him not to worry.

"Zhang Chi, how much did you spend on repairing this house?"

Zhang Chi thought for a while before saying: "You know what this house looked like at the beginning. The entire roof was replaced, as well as the ground and walls were refurbished, plus the newly bought furniture, it cost almost I paid more than 40 taels of silver.

In fact, only half of the money was spent. Zhang Chi didn't know the reason for Chen Guihua's visit, but he knew Chen Guihua's personality and knew that she would not believe whatever he said, so he didn't tell the truth.

Sure enough, Chen Guihua curled her lips and said, "Spent so much money? I asked Old Chen from Qianjie, and he said that it wouldn't cost so much money."

Zhang Chi smiled slightly, "Old Chen from Qianjie? I don't know him. He said he can't use it, maybe! But that's what I spent."

Seeing what Zhang Chi said, Chen Guihua had no choice.

"Zhang Chi! I also want to repair our house. Look, can you help me and your brother?"

Zhang Chi's first reaction was, "Does your house need to be repaired? I think it's quite new!"

"It just looks new, and the house has seen age. Also, I see you've done a good job with that bathroom, and the bed in the Westinghouse. It's fine. Can you help me fix that too?"

Of course Zhang Chi didn't want to help, and he didn't know what the old woman was up to!Besides, he had work to do.

"Mom, I'm afraid I don't have time."

"No time? You twin, what can you do if you don't take care of your husband and children at home?"

Zhang Chi chuckled, "Yes, mother, I just want to be a husband and a teacher at home! How can a pair of children throw their heads outside?"

"You!" Chen Guihua's expression changed, and she stood up abruptly. "You just don't want to help?"

Gu Xihe took a look at Zhang Chi and stood up, "Mother, Zhang Chi didn't mean that. I don't know how you want Zhang Chi to help you?"

Chen Guihua snorted coldly, "If someone is reluctant, even if they come to help, they will not do their best."

Gu Xihe laughed along, "Mother, don't worry, as long as Zhang Chi agrees, he will definitely do well."

"Forget it!" Chen Guihua rolled her eyes and sat down again. "Actually, my house doesn't have to be repaired. It's just that the weather has been bad these days. I've suffered from rheumatism, and my legs and feet hurt badly. The kang at home is too high, and it's inconvenient for me to get up and down. I see your bed in the Westinghouse Not bad, the bed is low and very soft, I want to move here for a while."

As soon as Chen Guihua finished speaking, Xiao An came in, walked up to Zhang Chi, and said in a low voice, "Father, I want to sleep."

After speaking, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.

this late?Gu Xihe looked outside, it was already dark.He actually forgot Xiaoan!

Gu Xihe was filled with guilt, hugged Xiao An, and said softly, "Xiao An, Daddy will take you to bed, okay?"

The two get along more these days, and their relationship is getting closer and closer.Xiao An nodded, and wrapped her arms around Gu Xihe's neck.

"Mother, Brother Qing, I'll take Xiao An to sleep first."

Chen Guihua was noncommittal, so Gu Xihe carried the child into the house.

Zhang Chi then said: "Mother, you have also seen that the West Room is Xiao An's bedroom. If you live here, he will have no place to sleep."

Chen Guihua stared, "Why is there no place to sleep? He can sleep with you! Is a child more important than your mother and me?"

Zhang Chi smiled faintly, "Mother, if you live here, where do you want to put Zhang Qing? You know, parents with sons cannot live in the house of Shuang'er who is married. You are not making Zhang Qing face ?"

Chen Guihua had thought about this problem a long time ago, and was well prepared.Zhang Qing was gnawing a pig's trotter in his hand. Hearing this, he said indifferently: "Brother, you don't have to worry about it. They say what they like to say. This is the situation in our family. We can't let our mother follow me." Endure hardship. However, if you don’t want our mother to live with you, it’s fine, as long as you give me a little more money.”

It turned out that they still came to ask for money.It seems that this person is shameless!

Zhang Chi had a solid idea in his mind, and deliberately put on a look of reluctance.

"Mom, you are also my mother. If you want to live here, then live here! Just like you said, Xiao An can squeeze with us."

Chen Guihua and Zhang Qing were very surprised, and their faces could not help showing surprise.

Chen Guihua asked: "You mean I can live here?"

"Yes. But if you live here, the 180 Wen per month will not be given to you."

"Why? Isn't everything agreed?"

Zhang Chi's answer was beyond the expectations of the two of them.

Zhang Chi said: "Mother, since you live with me, I can't treat you badly for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Don't worry, I will spend the 180 Wen on you."

Chen Guihua and Zhang Qing glanced at each other, which they did not expect.They thought that Zhang Chi would definitely not let Chen Guihua stay, and they could use this as an excuse to ask Zhang Chi for more money. Unexpectedly, Zhang Chi agreed.

Zhang Qing only felt that the pig's trotters in his mouth were not so fragrant anymore.

He put down his pig's trotters, rolled his eyes, and said, "Brother, after thinking about it, it's really not suitable for our mother to live here. Even if I'm not afraid of people's words, it's not good for you. However, the 180 yuan you gave Money is really not enough.”

"Then how much do you think is enough?"
