Time Traveling: The Man and Wife Heads the House

Gu Xibao remembered that although Zhang Chi had been married for two years and lived next door to him, but because of his withdrawn personality, he seldom went out, and he never spoke to him.In addition, he seldom came to the Gu family's old house, so he really didn't know the allusion to this wine.

He couldn't help but look at Zhang Chi with a smile on his face again, he was still the same person, why did he completely change his appearance?No wonder the second brother never left him, such Zhang Chi is indeed worthy of the second brother.

Gu Xihe continued to answer Zhang Chi's questions, "When our mother was pregnant with Xibao, our father and mother always thought it was a girl. My father likes girls very much, and he can't wait until Xibao is born. Buried several jars of good wine, and kept saying that it would take 18 years to drink "Nuerhong". Who knew that the child was still a boy after birth. Every time he drank this wine, his father would sigh with regret. What about the girls? That's why Xibao gets very depressed every time he hears the name of this wine."

It turned out that this was the case, and Zhang Chi also laughed.

"Having a son or daughter is fate, which means that Xibao is destined to be a child of the Gu family. As for the name of the wine... I heard that in Shaoxing, if a daughter is born, the wine will be buried in the ground. It wasn’t until the daughter got married that she took it out and drank it. It was called Nurhong. Unexpectedly, we have such a custom here. Those who give birth to a son there will also bury the wine, and the name is Zhuangyuanhong. From now on we will call this wine Zhuangyuanhong, and Xibao will not It will be embarrassing."

"Hello Zhuangyuanhong!" Gu Xibao yelled, "From now on, I will be called Zhuangyuanhong. I am in a hurry with whoever is called Nvnuhong!"

"Are you still thinking about failing the No. [-] Scholar exam? Your second brother is not far behind in the exam."

Gu Zuocheng snorted coldly and couldn't help laughing.

He looked at his son and daughter-in-law who were sitting with smiles on their faces, enjoying themselves happily, and couldn't help picking up the wine glass again.

Gu Xibao stretched out his arms to pick up a plate of fish with chopsticks in the distance, and said thoughtfully: "This table is too big, and I can't reach it if I want to pick up the dishes from a distance. That table that can turn is supposed to be used at such a time."

Zhang Chi said: "As soon as Xibao said it, I remembered it. It's useless to put the table in the teahouse. I'll send it over another day."

Gu Xicai picked up the plate of fish and handed it to Gu Xibao, "Third brother, do you want to eat fish? Come, bring this plate to you, your sister-in-law can't eat it."

"Why?" Gu Xibao happily took the plate, "Don't sister-in-law like fish the most?"

Gu Xicai's face showed a look of smug joy, "Your sister-in-law likes to eat, but the child in her belly doesn't like to eat."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and the third daughter-in-law was the first to realize, "Is sister-in-law pregnant?"

Gu Xicai nodded, "Yes! I vomited badly a few days ago! It's much better these days, but I still can't smell the fishy smell."

Zhang Chi didn't expect that Wang Yinghong was pregnant. No wonder her face was full of joy and her body was fatter than before.He was very happy for her. Although this woman was quite annoying at first, she is a person who knows what is good, and she even spoke for him just now!

Gu Lishi also showed joy, and asked anxiously: "Boss, daughter-in-law, is she really pregnant? Have you checked with the doctor? How many months?"

Wang Yinghong rarely showed embarrassment, "Mother, Doctor Liu of Wan'an Hall has already seen it. It's a joy. It's been three months."

Gu Lishi nodded again and again, her eyes fell on her unobtrusive stomach, "You have to be careful, and when you go back, bring some supplements back, and take good supplements. Also, if Dabao makes trouble with you, you will be handed over. He stays here and I look after him."

"Dabao is quite sensible, and has been talking about wanting a younger brother to play with him!"

Gu Lishi was even more happy from ear to ear, "Children's words are the most eloquent. He said he is a younger brother, so he must be a boy again."

Wang Yinghong laughed softly, "I wish it was a girl."

"Well, girls are fine, but our old Gu's family doesn't have any girls yet!"

Gu Zuocheng glared at Gu Xicai, "Yinghong is pregnant, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

He looked at Wang Yinghong again, "Boss, daughter-in-law, if these dishes don't suit your taste, let Aunt Gui cook what you want."

Wang Yinghong said hastily: "Thank you father, these are enough."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Gu Zuocheng said three good words in a row, and raised his glass again, "Come on, I'm going to be a father again for the sake of happiness, let's have another drink!"

"Xihe, your elder brother has a second child." Gu Lishi looked at Gu Xihe, "When will you have a happy event?"

Gu Xihe was afraid that Zhang Chi would be embarrassed, so he hurriedly said: "Mother, this, this is not what we say."

Wang Yinghong also said, "Mother, Xihe and her second brother-in-law are young, so there will always be a child, but it's just not the time."

Gu Zuocheng glanced at Wang Yinghong approvingly, it was rare for her to say something reasonable.

"Xihe has been married for three years. If he could have a child, he would have had it long ago. I'm afraid that some people won't be able to..." After all, it was New Year's Eve, and Gu Li didn't say anything unlucky, "Xihe, That young lady of the Meng family is still thinking about you! Do you want to think about it again? I can let Sister Hong..."

Gu Xihe stood up abruptly, his voice trembling slightly, "Mother, I've already said, I won't take a concubine! Not now, and never again!"

"You!" Gu Lishi put down his chopsticks heavily, "You have read so many books in vain, don't you know that there are three ways to be unfilial, and having no offspring is the greatest"? You see, your elder brother and younger brother both have children. When will we wait?"

"Mom! I have Xiaoan."

"But Xiao An is not you at all..."

"Mother!" Gu Xihe turned pale and interrupted Gu Lishi, "Xiao An is my son!"

He hurriedly glanced at Xiao An and Zhang Chi, only to see Xiao An's black and white eyes were looking at him, Zhang Chi's face was indifferent, he didn't even look at him, he raised his glass and took a sip of wine.

Gu Lishi wanted to say more, but Gu Zuocheng gave her a glare, paused the wine glass in his hand heavily, and stopped Gu Lishi's next words.

"Okay! Xihe is so old, he will consider his own affairs clearly. Besides, as the eldest daughter-in-law said, Xihe and the others are still young, so don't worry."

"Mom," Gu Xihe softened his tone, "I'm going to take the national exam when spring starts, this is not the time to have children."

"Have you decided to take the exam?" Gu Zuocheng looked at Gu Xihe eagerly, thinking that tonight was all good news.

"Yes, Dad. Brother Chi has persuaded me many times. I have studied for so many years, and I also want to know how good I am. No matter whether I pass the exam or not, I have to try, right? "

Gu Zuocheng laughed "haha", "Father believes in you, you will definitely pass the exam! You are all grown up and have your own ideas. As elders, we can only give you advice. Whether it is right or wrong, you can Listen, or not."

Gu Xihe panicked, "Father, we will definitely listen to what you say."

Gu Zuocheng smiled and said, "Okay! Come on, let's have another drink!"

Seeing that the old man did not support her, Gu Lishi glared at him and fell silent.

While everyone was drinking, Gu Xihe quietly held Zhang Chi's hand, and said in a low voice, "Brother Chi, my mother is worried for our own good, so don't take it to heart. Don't worry, I won't take concubines." Yes. Absolutely not!"

Zhang Chi smiled softly, "Well, I believe in you. It's my fault for making our mother anxious. But we really should work hard."

After speaking, he scratched his palm meaningfully.

Gu Xihe immediately understood what he meant, quickly withdrew his hand, and lowered his head.Zhang Chi looked at his red earlobes and smiled secretly.

After drinking three glasses of wine in succession, Zhang Chi's face turned red.

Gu Xihe poured hot water on him, and said worriedly: "Brother Chi, are you okay? Don't be brave."

Zhang Chi smiled and shook his head, "I'm fine. It's rare to drink father's good wine, of course I have to drink two more glasses."

He had a good drinking capacity in his previous life, but he doesn't know how his drinking capacity would be in a different body here.But at this time, he didn't feel anything.

Gu Zuocheng put down his wine glass, sighed, and said, "It is said that having more children and more grandchildren will lead to a better life. Parents just hope that you can live a safe and happy life, and they are satisfied. I was strict with you at the beginning, so that you can be independent when you grow up." , to support a family. Now that you are all parents, you can understand how I felt back then, right?"

Gu Xicai said yes again and again, raised his glass, stood up, "Father, I toast you!"

"it is good."

With the sound of firecrackers outside the window and the bright candlelight inside the house reflecting the smiling faces of the family, Zhang Chi felt as if he was in a dream where the family was reunited and celebrating the new year together.A dream he had been looking forward to for so long had come true after time travel.He looked at the people present, except for Gu Xihe, he didn't have a deep relationship with them, but they were Xihe's family, and he was willing to accept them and become a family with them.

Gu Zuocheng was getting old and just recovering from a serious illness, and gradually showed signs of exhaustion, but he was in high spirits. He sat down until midnight, let off the firecrackers for saying goodbye to the new year, and ate dumplings for welcoming the new year. Let's go to the back room to rest together.

Wang Yinghong was pregnant, and the children in Gu Xibao's family were still young. Gu Xihe asked his eldest brother and third brother to take their daughter-in-law back first, while he and Zhang Chi stayed here to watch the new year.

Da Bao wanted to play with Xiao An, and didn't want to go back with his parents. After all, Xiao An was young, rubbing his eyes and yawning from time to time, wanting to sleep.

Zhang Chi looked at the time, it was time for the child to sleep.But today is the Chinese New Year, and Dabao is reluctant to leave. Hearing the sound of firecrackers outside, he suddenly has a childlike innocence. He hugged Xiaoan, "Go, father and father will take you to set off firecrackers!"

Dabao clapped his hands and shouted, "Second Uncle, I'm going too!"

Wang Yinghong quickly called him to stop, "Dabao, let's go home!"

Dabao looked at Zhangchi and Xiaoan anxiously, "Mother, I want to play with my second uncle and brother Xiaoan."

Gu Xihe patted his head, smiled and said to Wang Yinghong and Gu Xicai: "Brother, sister-in-law, let him play here for Chinese New Year today! If he is sleepy, he can sleep here. If you are worried, I'll send him back."

Wang Yinghong hurriedly said: "We are not worried, we are worried that he will be too naughty and upset you."

Zhang Chi said: "No, no, kid, you should be more lively. Let him stay and be with Xiao An."

After Gu Xihe and Zhang Chi said so, Gu Xicai and Wang Yinghong felt relieved to leave Dabao behind.

Zhang Chi dressed the two children tightly, and then took them to the yard to set off fireworks.Shocked by the cool air outside, Xiaoan woke up immediately, attracted by the colorful and radiant fireworks, and surrounded Zhangchi with Dabao, learning how to light firecrackers and fireworks.

The courtyard was soon filled with the splendor of fireworks and the laughter of adults and children. Gu Xihe looked at Zhang Chi with a pure smile like a child, and felt very satisfied. This is what men want, right?

After playing for less than half an hour, Xiaoan and Dabao were both sleepy. Zhang Chi washed the two children and took them into the room to sleep.Although the Gu family's old house is not big, it is the place where the three Gu Xicai brothers grew up. In addition to the rooms of Gu Zuocheng and Mrs. Gui, there are two bedrooms.

When Zhang Chi went out, he saw Gu Xihe sitting there, although he still had a smile on his face, his eyes were a bit tired.

"Xihe, are you sleepy? Go to sleep first! I'll stay here and watch."

"No need!" Gu Xihe shook his head, took his hand, and let him sit beside him. "Tired?"

Zhang Chi didn't sit down, but picked up the coat next to him and put it on his body, added two pieces of charcoal to the brazier, and then sat down.

"Not tired. I haven't had such fun in a long time."

Gu Xihe also laughed, and touched his hand, "Well, I can tell. You've been outside for so long, aren't you cold?"

"It's not cold." Zhang Chi held his hand, "Try it, my hand is warmer than yours!"

Gu Xihe felt the warmth of holding his hand, so he felt relieved.

"Sit down and drink some hot water."

"No, I'll just sit with you."

"Ah."

"Xihe, I want to add another floor above the teahouse, and move the lounge and warehouse upstairs. Open up several rooms in the teahouse to increase the area of ​​the lobby. This will make the space more spacious and feel more comfortable."

"Okay, listen to you."

"Also, don't go to the teahouse after the new year. The construction there is dirty and messy, which will affect your study."

"When will the work start?"

"I made an agreement with Mr. Wang that the construction will start after the [-]th. He said that the framework can be built in half a month, and it will take about half a month to add decoration and layout. After the construction is completed, it needs to be dried. As soon as it’s dry, it’s time for me to accompany you back from the exam, and we can reopen. During this period, our teahouse can only be closed. Father is right, we must plan carefully when we have money. Now, we will earn almost all of it this year. I took it in. However, He Jiahao said that he still has book sales dividends for me, so I should be able to persist until the teahouse opens. Xihe, when are you leaving for Su County?"

Zhang Chi didn't hear the answer, but felt his shoulders sink. When he turned his head to look, Gu Xihe had already fallen asleep.

Under the candlelight, his long eyelashes drooped, and his light breath gently blew on his neck, tickling.

Zhang Chi embraced Gu Xihe's body, let him lean into his arms, and covered him tightly with his coat, so that he could sleep more comfortably.

The sound of firecrackers outside has stopped, and everything is silent, only the dancing candles accompany Zhang Chi in the room, but Zhang Chi does not feel lonely at all.
