Time Traveling: The Man and Wife Heads the House

The next day, Sui Yuzhang came back with his two dolls. To Zhang Chi's and Gu Xihe's delight, there were many new faces in the hall, including the one who Gu Xihe did the promotion yesterday. Uncle, there is a seven or eight-year-old child beside him.

Standing on the podium, Zhang Chi looked at the hall which was finally almost full, feeling very excited, "Thank you to all the folks who came to join us. As long as the guests come today, this teahouse will give each person a watermelon drink!"

After speaking, the audience immediately remembered the low voice of discussion.

"Watermelon drink? What is it?"

"I've never heard of it either! It seems to be drunk."

"Do you know if you taste it?"

"... "

After Zhang Chi finished speaking, he realized that he hadn't told Gu Xihe in advance, even though he had squeezed all the watermelon juice.He turned his head to look at Gu Xihe, Gu Xihe and Cui Jingshun had already come out with a tray, and put the watermelon juice on the guests' tea tables one by one.

In the crystal white teacup, the light red watermelon juice has the fragrance of watermelon.

The impatient guest took a sip immediately. It had a strong watermelon flavor and a cool sweetness.It is very comfortable to drink in summer.

He couldn't help but praise, "It's delicious!"

Immediately there was a echo: "It's delicious, it's delicious!"

Seeing the guests approving his drinks, Zhang Chi became even more excited.

"Everyone likes it. If you want to drink, you can come to the teahouse. It only costs three copper coins a cup, which is cheap and good. Of course, today this cup is given away for free, so you can drink it with confidence."

Hearing Zhang Chi's words, the guests all laughed.

Zhang Chi raised his hand and pressed his palms down, "Okay, let's get down to business, I know everyone is here to listen to the story. Allow me to drink a glass of water, let's start now."

This sentence caused a burst of good-natured laughter in the lobby.

But when Zhang Chi started telling the story, Tang Xia immediately became quiet.

Until Zhang Chi finished speaking, there was still silence in the hall.

Zhang Chi was a little puzzled, could it be that he didn't speak well, why didn't everyone respond?

Gu Xihe didn't understand either, could it be that Zhang Chi didn't speak well?He looked at the guests in the hall again, and everyone looked at Zhang Chi with burning eyes. He suddenly realized that they were still immersed in the story!

He took the lead in applauding, walked to Zhang Chi, and said loudly: "This is the end of today's story. If you want to hear it, please come back tomorrow."

Only then did the person sitting below come to his senses, it turned out that the lecture was over!

Everyone was still full of ideas, and a child couldn't help but shouted: "Uncle, why didn't you talk about it? I still want to hear it!"

Zhang Chi touched his neck and said with a smile: "Uncle's throat hurts, so I can't talk anymore. If you want to listen, come back tomorrow."

The child continued to speak, but was held back by the adults beside him.Zhang Chi saw that the person next to the child smiled, and it turned out to be the uncle who Gu Xihe advertised yesterday.

"Uncle, you are here, thank you for coming."

The old man snorted, "Well, the story is good, and what you told is also good, it's worth my trip. Come, bring me a pot of Yuqian Longjing."

"Okay, come right away."

Zhang Chi agreed to go, and the people in the hall seemed to have just realized that this is a teahouse, where you can not only listen to stories, but also drink tea and eat snacks, and one after another began to call for Xiao Er to order.It may be because I drank watermelon juice and listened to a wonderful story. The customers who came today were very happy when they ordered.Most of them ordered tea, and some with children also ordered drinks and desserts.

Gu Xihe, Zhang Chi, and Cui Jingshun, the three of them were busy going around, but they felt busy and happy.

In the afternoon, fewer guests came, but there were still a few scattered.Zhang Chi originally didn't plan to tell the story in the afternoon, but several guests asked the boss why he didn't tell the story, and they came here on purpose.

Zhang Chi originally wanted to say that there was only one session in the morning and not in the afternoon, but he looked at the disappointed eyes of the guests and couldn't help saying, "I'll talk."

Because he spoke in the morning, he spoke more vividly and interestingly in the afternoon, and added a lot of funny jokes, which made the guests laugh out loud.

After the story was told, the guests left satisfied, but Zhang Chi's throat seemed to be smoking, and there was slight pain.

As soon as he got off the podium, he took the water glass and drank most of it.

Gu Xihe stood beside him, filling him with water, with a worried expression on his face, "Brother Chi, if you talk twice a day, how can your voice be able to bear it?"

"It's okay, I'll go to Dr. Liu's in a while and ask him to prescribe some medicine to soothe his throat."

"Brother Chi, rest, let me go!"

After finishing speaking, Gu Xihe went out.

Zhang Chi shook his head, this guy just recovered from heatstroke, so he doesn't care about his body.

Cui Jingshun stroked his beard with a smile, "Miss Boss, you have such a good relationship with the boss, it's enviable!"

"I have a good relationship with Xihe?"

Zhang Chi stroked his chin, remembering the first time he met Gu Xihe. At that time, Gu Xihe had a cold face and didn't even look at him, as if he hated him very much.And I was completely tempted by his beauty, right?Otherwise, with my always straightforward character, how could I be willing to live with a man who wanted to divorce him?

and after?He found that Gu Xihe was actually a very gentle person.Although he doesn't talk much, and the expression on his face is always light, but he will treat Xiaoan gently and firmly support his decision.

Zhang Chi has never loved anyone. He never experienced the warmth of home when he grew up as an orphan, and he never regarded his humble hut as a home.He used to think that he didn't need it, but here, he has a sense of belonging. Gu Xihe is his husband-in-law, Xiao An is his son, and that house is his home.

He thought, maybe, he could develop a deeper relationship with Gu Xihe.It's not that he didn't hear what Gu Lishi said about letting Gu Xihe take a concubine, but he believed in Gu Xihe.

But, how to get closer to Gu Xihe?They lived together for so long, and every night they both lay on the same kang, but nothing happened, why?

All night, Zhang Chi was thinking about this issue, so he didn't notice Gu Xihe's unusual silence.

"Brother Chi, I've taken some medicine."

Gu Xihe put the medicine bowl on the table and sat down on the chair next to him.

The soup was still steaming, Zhang Chi smelled the bitter taste of the medicine, and said helplessly: "Xihe, it doesn't need to be so troublesome..."

He closed his mouth before he finished speaking, he knew that he was not convincing, because his voice was already hoarse, and it hurt when he spoke.

Gu Xihe said indifferently: "If you don't tell stories tomorrow, you don't have to drink."

Gu Xihe never spoke like that, and it was only then that Zhang Chi discovered his abnormality.

He put down the medicine bowl and asked, "Xihe, what's the matter? Are you unhappy?"

Gu Xihe lowered his head slightly to hide the expression on his face.

"Brother Chi, will you tell stories in the teahouse every day from now on?"

Zhang Chi suddenly became excited, "That's right! As you can see, there are a lot of guests today, and they not only listened to stories, they also ordered tea, drinks, and desserts. I settled the account with Uncle Cui, and I made nearly a dollar today. What about two silver coins! Maybe there won’t be so many customers tomorrow, but it will definitely be more than before. When the customers gradually stabilize, our teahouse will prosper.”

"But, it's too hard for you to do this! Besides, you are a twin, and you always show your face like this, and others will gossip."

Gu Xihe finished speaking with difficulty, but found that what he said was not what he really meant.

Zhang Chi looked at Gu Xihe, very puzzled.

"Xihe, didn't you say you support me?"

Gu Xihe also felt that he was contradicting what he said, and that he was very ungentlemanly.But today I saw Zhang Chi in the hall seemed to be shining, and all the guests looked at him with piercing eyes, with surprise in their eyes, but more appreciation.

He listened to his hoarse voice, jealousy and heartache entangled and grew in his heart, and finally there was only one thought left in his mind, that is, don't let him talk about it, he is his twin son who passed through the door, and his daughter-in-law.Such a good side of him can only be seen by himself.

But how could Gu Xihe say such petty and shameful words?

Seeing that Gu Xihe was silent, Zhang Chi felt very uncomfortable. The excitement after finishing the bill, and the secret feeling in his heart just now disappeared without a trace.He hated his identity as a twin, and also hated the narrow-mindedness of the people here.Why can Shuanger only be a good wife and mother at home?Or, is it because of Gu Lishi's words?

He really wanted to leave, but looking at Gu Xihe's slightly lowered head, he suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Xihe, is it because of what your mother said? Don't worry, I know who I am, and I won't do anything to embarrass you. If you care about what other people say, if you think I've embarrassed you, I'm sorry , I apologize to you. But I will continue to tell the story, I must make the teahouse prosperous, and what Zhang Chi has decided will not be abandoned halfway!"

After finishing speaking, he drank the medicine in one breath, picked up the bowl and went out.

The door was closed all of a sudden, and Gu Xihe raised his head, his eyes were slightly red.He rubbed his face, knowing that he was wrong, that he must have looked very ugly just now, but he didn't know how he said those words.

He had expected that Zhang Chi would be successful, so when Zhang Chi said he wanted to tell a story, he was hesitant.He didn't care what others said at all, and he didn't even think about taking concubines.He objected only because Zhang Chi was so dazzling in his eyes, and he was afraid that he would not be able to keep him.

Faced with such a petty and unreasonable self, Zhang Chi should be disappointed in him, right?

Today was a tense and tiring day, Zhang Chi was lying on the kang, and before he had time to think about Gu Xihe's emotions, he fell into a deep sleep.But Gu Xihe tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

He turned his face sideways and looked at Zhang Chi. The night was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly.But Zhang Chi's deep eyebrows and handsome face seemed to have been imprinted in his mind.

After hesitating for a long time, he slowly got up, lowered his head slowly, and pressed his lips gently on Zhang Chi's.Just as soon as he touched it, his heart rang like a drum.He lay back on the kang, and gently leaned closer to Zhang Chi.

Brother Chi, don't be angry with me, I just want you to stay by my side.

When Zhang Chi woke up the next day, Gu Xihe hadn't gotten up yet, looking at the blue shadows under his eyes, Zhang Chi knew that he was not feeling well, so he couldn't help but sighed, give him some time to think about it!

He got up gently, washed up gently, and went to the kitchen to cook.When the meal was ready, I went to call Xiaoan, opened my mouth, and secretly called out badly, but he couldn't make a sound.

He quickly cleared his throat, drank another large glass of water, and then made a sound, but it was obscure and ugly.

This is how to do?He will be on stage to tell a story today!When Xihe heard his own voice, he would not agree to go on stage.

When Gu Xihe woke up, Zhang Chi had already prepared breakfast.

He sat at the dining table, his face flushed slightly, and he whispered, "Brother Chi, I'm sorry, I was wrong yesterday, I'm just worried about your throat."

"I understand, I don't…"

As soon as Zhang Chi opened his mouth, Gu Xihe's face suddenly changed, "Brother Chi, why did your voice become like this? Come on, I'll take you to see a doctor!"

After speaking, he stood up and grabbed Zhang Chi's hand.

Zhang Chi sat without moving, "No need to go, I drank the medicine in the morning."

Seeing the calm expression on Zhang Chi's face, Gu Xihe suddenly became angry, "Brother Chi, your voice is already like this, do you still want to tell stories? No, you can't go today!"

"What can I do if I don't go? I've only talked for a day and I won't talk anymore. What will the guests think of our teahouse? I'm afraid they will never come to our teahouse again. We just had a little hope, but we can't..."

"If no one comes, no one will come. Even if the teahouse is gone, I can't let your throat be broken!"

Zhang Chi's face darkened, "No teahouse? If we don't want a teahouse, what will we live on?"

Gu Xihe's heart shuddered, and he said embarrassingly, "There will always be a way."

Zhang Chi suddenly smiled, "Yes, you really don't have to leave this teahouse. I heard that Ms. Meng's dowry is very rich. If you marry her, you don't have to worry about living, and you can concentrate on studying."

Gu Xihe's face turned pale all of a sudden, "Brother Chi, I've never thought about it that way!"

Zhang Chi didn't expect that he would say such sour words. It turned out that he didn't care about Gu Li's words yesterday, but he still remembered them in his heart.

Seeing Gu Xihe's pale face and slightly trembling lips, Zhang Chi rubbed his eyebrows and sighed.

"Xihe, I'm sorry, I don't want to quarrel with you, I think we all need to calm down. You don't look good, you don't have to go to the teahouse today, just rest at home."

He turned his head to look at Xiao An, "Xiao An, eat quickly, father and father will send you to school."

"Oh."

Xiao An is a very sensitive child, seeing his father and father arguing, he dare not say a word, just keep his head down and eat honestly.

When Zhang Chi called him, he quickly pushed the bowl away and said, "Father, I'm full."

Zhang Chi felt very uncomfortable, feeling heavy, as if he was pressing on something.Originally, he thought that Gu Xihe was different from others, and originally thought that they would go on like this forever, but he didn't know it was not.In fact, he is just like other men, right?

He, Zhang Chi, is a man, how could he depend on a man to survive?If Gu Xihe doesn't change his mind, he has to consider leaving him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi felt a dull pain in his heart, and he clearly understood why.What he couldn't believe was that in such a short period of time, his relationship with Gu Xihe was so deep.

Then he thought again, maybe it was just a habit and dependence, not liking and love.After all, after he arrived in this world, he was with Gu Xihe, so he would definitely feel reluctant to leave.

Thinking of Gu Xihe's haggard and pale face, Zhang Chi felt depressed and blamed himself again, how could he say such a thing?Will he feel bad too?

In a daze, Zhang Chi suddenly raised his head and found that his teahouse was right in front of him.
