Congrats to the boss and his brother

After Chi Jingyao and Pei Ye stayed at home for two days, they took the time to go to the Qizhou camp.

Yang Cheng was in the martial arts arena, and he was very happy to hear that Pei Ye was back.

"Why do you feel that there are fewer people in the camp?" Pei Ye asked.

"We won the battle this year. There is a decree in the capital. All soldiers can visit their homes." Yang Chengdao: "However, we can't put all the people back. At that time, there will be no one in the camp, and it is not suitable, so let them go." Go back in batches."

According to Yang Cheng's rules, if the soldiers go home for the New Year, the time to visit their homes will be shorter.If he went back earlier, it would take longer. On this basis, he divided the entire Qizhou camp into several groups and sent them back separately.

Hearing the words, Chi Jingyao asked in a low voice, "Is my second brother coming back?"

"Your second brother has a lot of face, His Majesty has allowed him to come back after the new year." Yang Cheng said.

"I can stay in the camp." Pei Ye said.

"Forget this year, you just got married, you should spend your first year at home." Yang Cheng said: "Next year this job will be yours, and then I will be able to go back to celebrate the New Year."

Pei Ye nodded when he heard the words, but didn't insist anymore.

"Did you tell your family?" Yang Cheng asked Pei Ye.

"We'll talk about it after the new year," Pei Ye said.

Yang Cheng heard his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows: "When your father hit you, you can tell him that he had been beaten for him.

Pei Ye: ...

Chi Jingyao: ...

"But I suggest you let him vent his anger, so as not to hold back the fire." Yang Cheng said again.

Chi Jingyao glanced at him, always feeling that he was inexplicably gloating.

"Don't look at me like that, what I said is true." Yang Cheng said with a smile: "At the beginning when I beat your second brother up, I let out my anger. Thinking about it afterwards, there is nothing to be angry about. But if the anger is suppressed Then, it’s hard to say.”

Chi Jingyao thought about it and thought it made sense.

But why beat Pei Ye again?

Won't you beat him together?After all, he has nothing to do with it...

The two talked with Yang Cheng for a while, and then went to find Yang Yue and Ruan Baozi.

The two went to Bingka a few days ago and just came back yesterday.

"You two celebrating the new year in the big camp?" Chi Jingyao asked.

"I still follow the old rules. I will be issued a soldier card after the new year. You know my father, old-fashioned, and won't let me celebrate the New Year with him." Yang Yue said: "Baozi will go home after two days. It's too cold for people to stay there."

Chi Jingyao glanced at Ruan Baozi upon hearing the words, and saw that the other party was concentrating on grooming the boss without expressing any opinions.

"Are you still going to the soldier card near Zhuangzi?" Chi Jingyao asked.

"It should be, that place is the most uncomfortable." Yang Yue said: "My father is afraid that I will be comfortable."

Chi Jingyao laughed and said: "That place is close to Zhuangzi, we will visit you when we have time in a few days."

"Okay, then we will be able to taste General Pei's craftsmanship again." Yang Yue said.

Ruan Baozi on the side heard the words and said, "Why can I taste General Pei's craftsmanship?"

"You don't know that, do you?" Yang Yue said with a smile: "General Pei and I celebrated the New Year in Bingka that year, and Dr. Chi happened to live in Zhuangzi, so I went to Bingka to find General Pei. General Pei felt distressed that he couldn't eat. I am used to the food there, and I cook it myself every day, but everyone is so happy that they ate the food made by General Pei for several days."

Chi Jingyao couldn't help but sneak a glance at Pei Ye when he heard him mention the past.

Pei Ye had no expression on his face, but there was a faint smile in his eyes.

On that day, the two stayed overnight in Qizhou Camp.

Early the next morning, he took the big brother and set off home.

They originally planned to take Ruan Baozi with them, but the other party has now officially entered the Qizhou camp's military membership, so according to the rules, they have to wait for Xiaonian before returning home.Although Yang Cheng had always been more tolerant towards military doctors, Ruan Baozi followed the rules and refused to leave early, so Chi Jingyao did not force him.

After the two brought the boss home, they saw many cars and horses parked at the entrance of the village from a distance.

Chi Jingyao was taken aback when he saw the battle, and only realized when he got closer that this was the person who escorted them.

"They walk so slowly?" Chi Jingyao asked in surprise.

"There were a lot of delays along the way, fortunately we didn't go with them." Pei Ye said.

"I thought they were going to Qizhou camp, why did they come home?" Chi Jingyao asked.

"Your Majesty's will is to let me return to the camp after a year. According to the rules, they will naturally come to the house." Pei Ye said: "And they brought so many rewards, so they must be sent back for us, right?"

When Chi Jingyao heard the words and thought of the things the emperor had rewarded, his mood improved a little.

According to his own wishes, he wished he could put all those good things in the storage space in the capital, but that would arouse the suspicion of others, so he refrained from doing so.

A soldier saw Pei Ye from afar and stepped forward to salute him.

"Where's Pei Qing?" Pei Ye asked.

"General Pei is waiting at Lord Hou's house," said the soldier.

"When did you arrive?" Pei Ye asked.

"Go back to Lord Hou, it will be noon." The soldier said again.

Seeing this, Pei Ye glanced at the people waiting outside, and said, "Go in and drink some hot water to keep warm."

"Thank you Lord Hou, we don't dare to disturb you, we will return to Beijing after finishing our errands." The soldier hurriedly said.

Pei Ye thought so too, if they go back quickly, don't wait as long as they did when they came, and they can catch up with returning to Beijing for the New Year.

With this in mind, he didn't say much, and hurried back to his residence with Chi Jingyao.

Many villagers in the alley outside Pei's house were watching the excitement, and when they saw Pei Ye and Chi Jingyao coming back, they cast curious glances.

They had been quiet when they came back, and the only thing that alarmed others was the day when the matchmaker came to the door, but Pei Ye and Chi Jingyao rarely showed up, so the people in the village were quite curious.

Chi Jingyao was embarrassed to be stared at, and couldn't help but keep greeting people after following behind Pei Ye.

As soon as the two entered the house, Pei Qing and the leader of the guards came up.

The leader of the guards counted the emperor's rewards one by one, and took Pei Ye over for a look, before presenting the list of rewards to Pei Ye.

Pei Ye motioned Pei Qing to look it over, and the handover was complete after checking.

"Will your carriage return to Beijing together?" Pei Ye asked.

"The carriage was empty on the return journey, and it took time to carry it along the way, so it is usually handed over to the post station for disposal." The man said hurriedly.

"Leave one, it will be useful to the general." Pei Ye said, "I will ask Pei Qing to give you the money for the carriage."

"Master Hou, you are welcome. If you want to keep them all, you don't need to mention the money." The guard leader hurriedly said.

"No need, one car is enough." After saying that, Pei Ye winked at Pei Qing, signaling him to take the money.

The last time Pei Ye went to the county seat, he wanted to get a carriage back so that he would not have to bother Old Uncle Qian every time he went back to the county seat.

But their county is not too big, so they have to find a carpenter to build a carriage, not to mention the time-consuming and labor-intensive work. It is definitely incomparable with the carriages in the capital.Today, he also had a whim, and simply left one of the carriages that sent them back. After all, it was made in the capital, so it must be the same.

That day, after seeing off the leader of the guards, Pei Ye gave Pei Qing a few more instructions.

Pei Qing is now Pei Ye's lieutenant general, so according to the rules, if Pei Ye doesn't return to camp, he has to stay by Pei Ye's side.

But Pei Ye didn't want him to follow him all the time at home, so he sent him home.

People in Pei Qing's family had already heard the news and came to wait, and brought him home happily after hearing the news.

"Second Brother..." Chi Jingyao looked at Pei Qing's back and whispered, "What do you think the first thing Pei Qing did when he got home?"

Pei Ye glanced at him and asked, "What?"

"Blind date." Chi Jingyao whispered.

Pei Ye frowned, thinking of the scene when he was surrounded by matchmakers that day, he felt sorry for her.

But he changed his mind, Pei Qing was different from him, maybe he was very happy to get married.

Pei Ye glanced at these rewards, and said to Chi Jingyao: "Choose it yourself, put away the ones you like, and leave the rest to your parents and elder brothers and sisters-in-law."

Chi Jingyao chuckled when he heard the words, stepped forward and looked at the boxes containing the rewards one by one.

He didn't like gold, silver and jade wares very much, but when he saw a few pairs inside, he picked some and put them in the storage space.

Then, he took a small amount of gold and silver and put them away together.

"Don't you like silver?" Pei Ye smiled and said, "Why are you restraining yourself now?"

"When summer comes next year, your general's mansion will be built, and we don't have much money to spend." Chi Jingyao said.

Pei Ye couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, pointed to the gold and silver and said: "Put these away, there is no shortage of silver in the house, and it is easy to attract thieves if you leave it unused. It's safer to keep it away with your tricks."

Chi Jingyao thought so, and put all the gold and silver into the storage space.

Seeing that Chi Jingyao had no interest in the remaining rewards, Pei Ye handed them over to Rong Niang.

"When we have the General's Mansion, do we have to hire a housekeeper?" Chi Jingyao asked.

"I will depend on you when the time comes." Pei Ye said.

Chi Jingyao suppressed a smile and glanced at him when he heard the words, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous because he was concerned about his family.

In the afternoon, Father Pei repaired the carriage that Pei Ye "bought" by himself.

Pei Ye had nothing to do, so he followed him to fight.

Chi Jingyao thought it was cold outside, so he played monkeys with Pei Ning in the room.

The boss is not too big, squatting on a chair is about the same size as Pei Ning, the scene is very interesting.

"Uncle, why is he called Big Brother?" Little Pei Ning asked Chi Jingyao.

"Because... There's no reason, just say it." Chi Jingyao laughed.

He really came up with such a name in a flash of his head at the beginning, which can be regarded as a little connotation of Pei Ye.

However, apart from himself, no one knew the meaning of the name. As a result, he could only tease Pei Ye secretly in his heart for so many years, and he couldn't bring it to the surface at all.

If I had known earlier, I might as well name the monkey the second child!

"Uncle." While feeding the boss, Pei Ning couldn't help asking, "Does it call you Daddy?"

Hearing this, Chi Jingyao couldn't help laughing and said: "He was not born to me, I'm not his father, but it's fine to call him that if you like."

To Chi Jingyao, monkeys are considered pets, but their affection is almost the same as that of family members.

Although he doesn't have the addiction to being a father, he doesn't reject talking about seniority with the boss.

Earlier Ruan Baozi also said that he was the boss's mother, but he acquiesced.

"Then will you and your aunt have a baby?" Pei Ning asked again.

"You even know the title of aunt?" Chi Jingyao asked in surprise, "Who taught you?"

"Grandma said it." Pei Ning looked up at Chi Jingyao and said, "Aunt and uncle, just like mother and father, you will have a baby like me." He pointed at himself with his little finger.

Chi Jingyao was startled when he heard the words, the smile on his face faded, and he said to Pei Ning: "Uncle told you a secret, don't tell others, okay?"

"Okay." Pei Ning said hurriedly.

"Uncle and aunt won't have a baby." Chi Jingyao said.

"Why?" Pei Ning asked blankly.

"Not everyone will have babies." Chi Jingyao said, "You will understand when you grow up."

Hearing this, Pei Ning frowned and thought for a while, seeming a little disappointed.

But he immediately grabbed the boss's hand and shook it, saying: "Then I'll play with the boss."

As he spoke, he gently covered his mouth with his small hand, which meant that he would keep this little secret for Chi Jingyao.

As the end of the year approaches, people from Pei's family will visit the door almost every day.

Especially after the news of Pei Ye's return spread, people came to visit him in an endless stream.

Some of them were relatives who walked back and forth, some wanted to establish a relationship, and some just came to say congratulations.

Pei Ye doesn't like Zhang Luo these things very much, but he also knows in his heart that as long as he is at home, he has to worry about the friendship and relationship between fellow villagers. live here.

But these people didn't have much to talk about when they met. They couldn't help but talk about his marriage, and they even inquired about Chi Jingyao's marriage from time to time.

Later, Pei Ye was afraid that Chi Jingyao would be upset, so he didn't let him go to the front yard, so as not to be chased and asked random questions all the time.

"Today, I will go out with my father and elder brother." Pei Ye got up early in the morning and said to Chi Jingyao.

"What are you doing?" Chi Jingyao asked in a daze under the quilt.

"It's New Year's Eve, and the elders in the village have to pay a visit according to the rules of etiquette." Pei Ye said: "In the past few years I have been away, the villagers have taken care of the family. It is hard to spend the New Year at home and walk around."

Chi Jingyao heard the words and asked, "Shall I go together?"

"Don't go, what the old man said is what you don't like to hear." Pei Ye said.

Chi Jingyao nodded when he heard the words, and reached out to shake Pei Ye's fingertips.

"Your hands are a little hot, don't you have a fever?" Pei Ye asked.

"Sleep well, I'm fine." Chi Jingyao said.

Pei Ye then touched his forehead and felt a little hot, but not very hot, so he thought it was because he was under the covers.

"Sleep for a while and remember to get up to eat." Pei Ye leaned over and kissed the corner of his lips, helped him tuck the quilt, and then left.

These days, probably because of the complete relaxation after returning home, Chi Jingyao sleeps well every day.

Especially when it was cold, he didn't want to go out, he had nothing else to do except play with Pei Ning all day long.

Rong Niang knew that he had worked hard in the border town, so now she dotes on him very much, and rarely wakes him up in the morning.

After Pei Ye left that day, he planned to continue to sleep, but he didn't expect Pei Ning to come running over to find him after a while.

"Uncle." Pei Ning ran to Chi Jingyao's couch, first touched the big guy lying on the side, then patted Chi Jingyao and said, "It's snowing, you can build a snowman with me."

The matter of building a snowman was brought up by Chi Jingyao himself, and the little guy kept talking about it, just waiting for the snow to fall.

Today, after finally looking forward to a heavy snow, he came to Chi Jingyao early in the morning.

Chi Jingyao opened his eyes and took a moment to ask, "Is it snowing?"

"Well, it snowed a lot." Pei Ning said, "Mother and grandma won't play with me. Daddy, second uncle and grandpa are out!"

Seeing his aggrieved look, Chi Jingyao hurriedly got up and got dressed.

He simply washed up, didn't even bother to eat breakfast, and took Pei Ning to build a snowman in the yard.

"Don't do it, put your hands away, it's cold." Chi Jingyao wrapped Pei Ning in a cloak and put on a tiger hat, and let him watch from the sidelines, "When Uncle has finished making the snowman, you will finally see the snowman." Do it again, give him a mouth, okay?"

"Okay." Pei Ning replied honestly.

Chi Jingyao had no experience in making snowmen, so he worked hard for a while before he could come up with a rough shape.

Then, he went to find a piece of red silk and tied it around the snowman's neck.

"Are you ready? Uncle." Pei Ning waited beside him, scratching his head.

Chi Jingyao got two pieces of coal to fix the snowman's eyes, and finally took a red pepper, signaling Pei Ning'an to put it on the snowman's mouth.

Pei Ning waited all morning, and now he couldn't wait any longer. Following what Chi Jingyao taught him, he successfully put the snowman's mouth on.

"Wow! Uncle, we made a snowman!" Pei Ning happily walked around the snowman several times, and then trotted to find Rongniang and Ding Xiaowan.

Only now did Chi Jingyao feel hungry, so he went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

Knowing that he got up late, Rong Niang specially left rice in the pot, and the fire was still suffocating in the stove, so the rice was still warm at the moment.

But Chi Jingyao didn't have a good appetite, so he only drank half a bowl of porridge and gave up.

At noon, he played with Pei Ning in the snow for a while, and then he felt his head was a little heavy, so he went back to take a nap.

On the other side, Pei Ye followed Father Pei and stayed outside until nightfall.

There is an old rule in the village. When the Chinese New Year is approaching, all the male members of the clan have to worship their ancestors together. After the ceremony, they have to get together again. It took a whole day to go back and forth like this.

Pei Yuan went home first at dusk, fearing that his family would be worried and would go back and say something.

Pei Ye is now the most promising son of the Pei family, and today he is the focus of the whole village. Naturally, everyone will not let him go easily.

It wasn't until it was dark that the father and son came out of the village head's house reeking of alcohol.

"It's good for Pei Qing to follow you. You are also cousins, and you should take good care of them in the army." On the way back, Father Pei said to Pei Ye.

Pei Ye responded when he heard the words.

"By the way, Pei Qing made a marriage agreement yesterday, and I didn't remember which family in the county it was." Father Pei said, "Your uncle is so happy, your son has made a military exploit and has returned, and now he has a daughter-in-law."

"Yeah." Pei Ye said lightly, "I'll give him a congratulatory gift some other day."

"Second brother, Dad never asked you... You are not too young, why don't you want to start a family?" Father Pei asked.

Pei Ye was startled when he heard the words, and said, "It's not that I don't want to."

"That's what you want?" Father Pei asked, "Are you in a border town, do you have someone you fancy?"

Father Pei patted Pei Ye on the shoulder and said, "A Yao is younger than you, and he is married. If you are the second brother, if you have someone you like, just tell Dad, there is nothing to be ashamed of." .”

Pei Ye drank some wine, not to the point of being drunk, but a little drunk.

He hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, and then said: "I do have someone who wants to marry, and I have not said it all the time because I am afraid that my father will not agree."

"Why don't you agree to this? We don't want to come from any family, we are farmers, and there are not so many rules." Father Pei said: "As long as it is what you like, your mother and I won't say much. .”

Pei Ye paused, looked at Father Pei through the night, and said, "If I marry him, I won't have any children."

"Why?" Father Pei was stunned, and asked, "Is... is there any hidden disease?"

"The reason is not important." Pei Ye said: "If so, will you agree?"

Father Pei was silent for a while, without answering, but walked in front of Pei Ye.

Pei Ye frowned, and followed behind Father Pei without saying anything.

It wasn't until the father and son arrived at the door that Pei's father stopped.

He didn't look at Pei Ye, but asked in a deep voice: "Do you really like that girl?"

"He saved my life." Pei Ye said, "Without him, you wouldn't be able to see me."

After hearing this, Father Pei turned his head and glanced at Pei Ye. After a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Then this love has to be repaid. If you really think about it, your mother and I will not stop you."

Pei Ye was a little surprised when he heard the words, and after a while he said again: "It's not because of this that I want to marry him."

"What is that for?" Father Pei asked.

"Father." Pei Ye asked, "Why did you and mother get married?"

"This..." Father Pei scratched his head and said, "It's just right."

"Then I saw the right thing too." Pei Ye said.

"Hey." Father Pei sighed and said, "If you're right, marry me back. She saved your life anyway. If you can't have a baby, you can't have a baby. If it wasn't for her to save you, even you would be gone. What are you talking about whether you have heirs or not... This is your fate, we should admit it, and we must have a conscience, don’t we?"

Hearing this, Pei Ye looked at Father Pei, wanted to say something more, but held back.

While they were talking, they went to the courtyard and saw Rong Niang and Pei Yuan busy in the kitchen.

"Mother, why are you still cooking so late?" Pei Ye asked upon seeing this.

"What are you cooking for? Ah Yao is sick, so I'm making medicine for him." Rong Niang said.

Pei Ye was startled when he heard the words, he didn't bother to ask more questions, and strode towards the side courtyard.

Seeing this, Father Pei hurriedly followed him.

In the room, Chi Jingyao was lying on the couch in a daze, while Ding Xiaowan was administering needles to him.

"What's going on?" Pei Ye stepped forward and touched Chi Jingyao's forehead, and said, "Why did you suddenly have such a severe fever?"

"It's all because of my negligence." Ding Xiaowan said: "He got up in the morning and brought the snowman that Pei Ning had built for half a day. He probably caught a cold. He didn't come out for lunch at noon, so I went to ask. I didn't care, just thought he was sleepy."

After all, Chi Jingyao has been sleepy all the time in winter. He often sleeps until noon when he returns home, and occasionally takes a nap at noon.

So Ding Xiaowan didn't think about anything else until she came over to call for someone at dinner, and she didn't realize anything strange.

"Chi Jingyao." Pei Ye leaned over and whispered in the boy's ear, "Can you hear me?"

"It's burning too badly." Ding Xiaowan said, "I'm confused now."

When Pei Ye heard the words, he immediately remembered the scene many years ago. At that time, Chi Jingyao also caught a cold. He didn't pay attention at first, but when he found out, he was already unconscious from the burn.

Chi Jingyao looked weak, but in fact, apart from being afraid of the cold in winter, he seldom got sick on weekdays.

But every time I get sick, it is menacing and unprepared.

"Do you need a cold handkerchief?" Pei Ye asked Ding Xiaowan.

"Your elder brother has already gone." Ding Xiaowan said: "You don't have to worry, with me, he will be fine."

Pei Ye nodded when he heard the words, trying to calm himself down.

"Hiss..." The boy frowned, and said in a daze, "It hurts."

Pei Ye hurriedly looked at Ding Xiaowan when he heard the words, and heard the other party say: "It's not that I hurt from the piercing, it's that he has a headache from burning."

"Then what should we do?" Pei Ye asked anxiously.

"Be patient, it won't burn out for a while." Ding Xiaowan said.

Pei Ye: ...

He didn't dare to say anything, he could only hold back his worries and stand aside.

After a while, Ding Xiaowan finally finished the injection.

Chi Jingyao opened his eyes, glanced at Pei Ye, and quickly closed them again.

"Second brother..." The young man called Pei Ye in a daze.

"I'm here." Pei Ye said.

"Second brother, I'm cold." Chi Jingyao said.

"It will be fine in a while, be obedient." Pei Ye wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and asked Ding Xiaowan, "Do you want to add a quilt for him?"

"No need." Ding Xiaowan said: "The medicine will be ready in a while, just feed him the medicine."

While talking, Pei Yuan came in with a basin filled with cold water.

Ding Xiaowan tried the water temperature, got a cold handkerchief, and put it on Chi Jingyao's forehead.

"Second brother...I'm cold..." Chi Jingyao said in a daze, "You hug me..."

Hearing this, Pei Ye hurriedly approached carefully, and hugged the boy in his arms.

"Second brother is here, don't feel bad anymore." Pei Ye coaxed in a low voice.

As he spoke, he subconsciously rubbed against the boy's cheek, feeling distressed and anxious.

"Second brother... I feel bad." The boy said again.

"Second brother is holding it, it's not uncomfortable." Pei Ye hugged the boy in his arms, and coaxed softly: "It's not uncomfortable, it will be fine soon."

Father Pei, who was at the side, saw this scene in his eyes, and a puzzled expression suddenly appeared on his face.

He hesitated to speak several times, until he saw Pei Ye leaning in to gently kiss the young man's forehead, his expression completely changed from bewilderment to surprise.

In an instant, anger, bewilderment, suddenly... all changed back and forth on his face.

He didn't come back to himself until Rong Niang came in with the medicine.

"Give me the medicine, go and watch Pei Ning, in case he wakes up alone..." Father Pei said.

After hearing the words, Rong Niang did not doubt that he was there, so she hurriedly gave him the medicine, and then asked, "How is Ah Yao?"

"Don't worry, there is a eldest daughter-in-law." Father Pei said.

After hearing this, Rong Niang turned around and left.

Father Pei put the medicine on the table, looked at Pei Ye, then at Pei Yuan and Ding Xiaowan, with complicated expressions.

"Brother, help me carry the medicine." Pei Ye held Chi Jingyao in his hands and said to Pei Yuan.

Hearing the words, Pei Yuan hurriedly brought over the medicine bowl, then scooped up a spoonful to cool it down, and then brought it to Chi Jingyao's mouth.

But Chi Jingyao was half asleep and half awake at the moment, so he couldn't drink it at all, and the medicine spilled all over his body.

Pei Ye had no choice but to swallow the medicine, and directly fed it to the other party.

Seeing this, Father Pei's expression became more and more complicated. After a while, he seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, and turned around and left the room.
