Time Traveling: The Man and Wife Heads the House

"Eh?" Gu Xihe didn't understand Zhang Chi's meaning, "From now on... I will live a good life with you from now on."

As he spoke, his face turned red again.

This kid actually likes me, right?Zhang Chi had this feeling again.

"I mean, have you ever thought about going out to work and earning a living?"

"Ah? Go out to work to make money? Why? Besides, my father won't agree."

"Why doesn't he agree? Don't you like doing nothing every day, doing nothing?"

Gu Xihe quickly retorted, "I don't do nothing, I sometimes go to the rice shop with my brother."

"What to do?"

"Uh..." Gu Xihe rubbed his nose, "When the eldest brother checked the accounts, I watched from the side and chatted with the shopkeeper. Sometimes I would help the eldest brother to copy the account books."

Zhang Chi is speechless, does this count as doing something?

"How did we divide the family before?"

"Father said that the rice shop at home is run by the elder brother, and the younger brother is in charge of a few acres of paddy fields. In the house, my younger brother and I each have two main rooms and two wing rooms. The older brother gets the four rooms that he shares with his parents."

"Do you think this family division is fair?"

"Is it fair? I don't think it's unfair. Even if my father gave me the shop and the field, I wouldn't know how to run it. There's nothing wrong with giving it to my elder brother and younger brother."

Zhang Chi was helpless and just wanted to hehe.Looking at Gu Xihe's appearance, he doesn't look like a fool, nor a dandy. Could it be that he is a bookworm who only knows how to read?

"How many years have you been studying? How old are you this year? Do you want to gain fame?"

Gu Xihe blushed, his eyes flickered, "I want to take the exam, but I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? Afraid you won't pass the exam?"

Hearing Zhang Chi's skeptical tone, Gu Xihe suddenly felt angry. Did he look down on himself?

"Of course not! Although I haven't taken the exam, I think I can pass it. Besides, I'm still young, only 20 years old. Even if I don't pass the exam, I still have a chance."

Looking at Gu Xihe's appearance, Zhang Chi felt that he should be young, but he didn't expect that he was only 20 years old, seven years younger than himself.Of course, it was the age of his previous life.In this life, he should be about the same age as Gu Xihe.

"Then what are you afraid of?"

"After I was admitted to the scholar, I originally wanted to go all out to take the exam, but my father happened to be sick at that time, and the family's business also had problems, so I didn't go. Later we got married, and although the life of the family stabilized, but Going to the meeting and going to Su County, it takes about half a month to go back and forth, I am worried about you and Xiaoan, and the cost is relatively high, I am afraid that the elder brother and the younger brother will not be willing, so I never mentioned this matter again."

It turned out to be like this.If Gu Xihe could pass the examinations for juren, Jinshi or something, he would be a minor official, and his career would be fine.However, as he said, now is not the time.

Zhang Chi thought of something, "Since you have studied, why is Xiao An still six years old and hasn't gone to school yet?"

"Xiao'an..." Gu Xihe's eyes flickered, and his tone softened, "Because Xiao'an didn't enter the Gu family's family tree, the Gu family's private school won't accept her."

"Why didn't he enter the family tree of the Gu family?" Zhang Chi suddenly remembered that Xiao An's surname was Zhang, "He doesn't have your surname Gu, but mine. Zhang, is it my child?"

"Xiao An was brought back by you after serving in the military. You went there for two years, and Xiao An was already four years old when you came back. You said that Xiao An was the child of your comrade-in-arms. His father died in battle and he became an orphan, so you brought him return."

Zhang Chi has served in the military, no wonder he has such a resolute appearance.But, how could a person who has served in the military be so useless that he hanged himself?

Zhang Chi thought so, and asked the same question.
