Congrats to the boss and his brother

"I want a bowl of wontons." Pei Ye walked to the table and sat down, and said to the stall owner.

Chi Jingyao sat across from him, and seriously emphasized: "This is not what I want to eat."

Seeing the little thing's "careful" appearance, Pei Ye wanted to laugh inexplicably.

"Little brother, one bowl of our wonton costs six renminbi, and two bowls cost ten renminbi. Do you only want one bowl?" the stall owner asked Pei Ye.

Before Pei Ye could speak, Chi Jingyao said first, "I want two bowls."

"Okay." The stall owner took a look at Pei Ye and saw that Pei Ye had no objection, so he went to cook wontons.

Now that the weather has turned cold, people can't help but crave for something warm after staying outside for a long time.

Chi Jingyao sat at the small table, watching the heat steaming in the cauldron, and finally felt a little better.

After a while, two bowls of wontons were served.

Chi Jingyao reached out and pushed a bowl for Pei Ye, then picked up the vinegar jar on the table and added some vinegar to his own bowl.

Chi Jingyao ate a few mouthfuls with his head buried, and when he noticed that Pei Ye hadn't moved, he raised his head and asked, "Why don't you eat?"

Pei Ye looked at him and said, "I'm afraid you don't have enough food."

Chi Jingyao thought about it, and asked with an aggrieved expression: "Do you dislike me for eating too much?"

"No." Pei Ye hurriedly said, seeing that the little thing had a complicated expression, he added, "No problem."

As soon as he finished speaking, a mechanical voice sounded in Chi Jingyao's mind:

[Get Pei Ye's favorability value]

[Current strategy progress: 17%]

【Get 50 points】

Chi Jingyao's mood improved a lot in an instant, and the smile in his eyes could hardly be concealed.

Seeing the change in his expression, Pei Ye secretly thought that this little thing is too easy to coax, right?

He was obviously angry all the way, but now he said "I don't dislike" the other party's anger, and he was so happy.

What he didn't know was that the only thing that made Chi Jingyao happy was the points.

After the two finished eating the wontons, they went to Laoqian's car to get the skins and sent them to the shop.

The shopkeeper was still quite enthusiastic when he saw the two of them, and while calling the waiter to weigh the leathers, he personally inspected a few good leathers and set the price individually.The leather that Pei Ye brought this time, because part of it was Qiufeng's, was quite a lot, and it sold a total of more than 2000 copies.

Chi Jingyao made a rough calculation. With Pei Ye's own savings and the commission agreed with Qiufeng, they earned more than 1000 Wen this time.

In this way, even if Pei Ye can't continue hunting in winter, the money is enough to support their family for half a year.

As long as Pei Yuan's illness doesn't recur, the life of the Pei family will get better and better.

As the weather got colder, Pei Ye went up the mountain less and less often.

Pei Yuan took advantage of Pei Ye's time at home to continue teaching him and Chi Jingyao to read and write.

Ruan Baozi was sent by Qiufeng to study for a few days, but later he hid himself and refused to come.Chi Jingyao was barely able to make ends meet, although he was not very active, but because of Pei Ye's drive, he had to practice calligraphy for an hour every day.

After half a month, Pei Yuan ran out of medicine.

According to the old doctor's instructions last time, Father Pei and Rong Niang took Pei Yuan to the county seat.

Chi Jingyao originally planned to go with him, but because the weather was too cold, when he thought of going so far in a mule cart, he voluntarily gave up and chose to stay and watch the house with Pei Ye.

Pei Ye is very boring. When he's not going up the mountain, he just reads and practice calligraphy at home.

Chi Jingyao lay down next to him and wrote with him for a while, and then began to draw little turtles on the used paper.

After seeing his "masterpiece", Pei Ye felt that he was wasting ink, so he took away his pen.

This time Chi Jingyao had nothing to do, so he wanted to go out for a stroll.

Unexpectedly, before he went out, he found that it was snowing outside.

The snow wasn't that big at first, but after half an hour, it started to get bigger and bigger.

By noon, a thick layer had accumulated on the ground.

Along with the snowfall comes a drop in temperature.

The winter clothes Chi Jingyao was wearing were made from Rong Niang's old clothes, and the cotton inside had been hardened by washing, and he was able to get by wearing them a few days ago, but now that the temperature has plummeted, he couldn't bear it anymore.

Originally, when Rong Niang went to the county this time, she planned to buy some cotton and make a new winter coat for Chi Jingyao, but she didn't expect the weather to be so cold, and the heavy snow came before the new clothes.

"Ah!" Chi Jingyao sneezed, sitting at the table and rubbing his nose.

Pei Ye looked up at him and asked, "Cold?"

Chi Jingyao shrank his neck and nodded, his feet were also freezing to the ground.

Seeing this, Pei Ye had to get up and find a blanket for him to wear.

"Second brother, it's snowing so much, big brother, can they come back today?" Chi Jingyao asked worriedly.

Pei Ye obviously thought of this question too, and looked up at the snow outside the window.

"Ah!" Chi Jingyao sneezed again.

Pei Ye frowned and looked at him. Seeing this, Chi Jingyao thought that Pei Ye was blaming him for interrupting his calligraphy practice, so he got up consciously and wanted to go back to his room.

"Sit down." Pei Ye got up and went out, not forgetting to close the door carefully.

After a while, he came in with a water bag in his hand and handed it to Chi Jingyao.

Chi Jingyao reached out to pick it up and found that the water bag was hot.

He hugged the water bag in his arms, finally getting a little warmer.

At dusk, Rong Niang and the others still didn't come back.

Pei Ye went to steam some sweet potatoes and boiled an egg for Chi Jingyao.

But Chi Jingyao didn't seem to have much appetite, and he was full after only eating half a piece of sweet potato.

"Brother, they haven't come back yet..." Chi Jingyao looked at the dark sky outside, feeling a little uneasy.

Pei Ye thought for a while, got up and said, "I'll go to Old Uncle Qian's house and ask, you will wait at home."

Hearing this, Chi Jingyao could only nod his head.

After Pei Ye left, Chi Jingyao was so cold that he could hardly sit still, so he simply went back to his room and got under the quilt.

It's a pity that it was too cold under the quilt. Chi Jingyao huddled his body for a long while without warming the quilt, but he was actually colder than before.

He grew up in a city with heating since he was a child, and he never knew what it was like to have winter without heating. Today he saw the true face of winter.That kind of cold is like growing feet, soaking from the skin into the cracks in the bones, wishing to drill into the three souls and seven souls of the person, until the whole body is numb from the cold.

Not long after, there were footsteps outside, and Pei Ye came back.

Chi Jingyao was afraid that he would not find him and was anxious, so he called out to him.

After a while, Pei Ye came in with a candlestick.

There was light in the room, and finally it seemed a little less gloomy.

"Second brother, where are they?" Chi Jingyao asked.

"You go to sleep." Pei Ye pulled out another quilt and covered Chi Jingyao, and said to him, "I just went to ask, old Aunt Qian said that the mule cart can't move in snowy weather, I guess they We have to wait for the snow to stop before we can come back.”

Chi Jingyao was a little relieved when he heard the words. Anyway, the three of Rong Niang and the others were together, and they took care of each other, so there was nothing to worry about.Thinking of this, Chi Jingyao turned over, curled up and planned to fall asleep like this.

While half asleep and half awake, Chi Jingyao heard Pei Ye seem to be calling him.Then, a warm thing was placed beside his pillow, Chi Jingyao reached out to touch the water bag, and Pei Ye refilled it with hot water.

Holding the water bag, Chi Jingyao finally felt better, and managed to sleep soundly.

Early the next morning, when Chi Jingyao woke up, his head felt a little heavy.

He reached out and touched his forehead, and it was really hot, he had a fever.

Chi Jingyao had no choice but to open the system mall, trying to exchange for a pill.But there is no cold medicine in the mall, and the only thing he can choose is [Strong Body and Health Pill].It's just that the essence of this medicine is not a specific medicine, and the effect of each medicine is limited. Chi Jingyao is not sure whether the medicine will work, so he can only try one first.

After taking a pill, Chi Jingyao felt that his head was not so heavy, and his forehead was not so hot to the touch.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, guessing that the medicine should have worked.

It snowed heavily all night, and it hasn't stopped until now, but the snow is much lighter.

After Chi Jingyao got up, he saw that Pei Ye had already cleaned the yard, and even swept a path at the door.

"There is porridge in the pot, do you want me to serve it for you?" Pei Ye asked when he saw him come out.

Chi Jingyao hurriedly shook his head, went to serve a bowl of porridge by himself, and then found half a piece of sweet potato in the steamer, so he ate the sweet potato as well.

After breakfast, Chi Jingyao felt a little warmer on his body, and went back to sleep again.

He slept soundly this time, and he didn't wake up in a daze until Pei Ye came to call him for dinner in the afternoon.

"I'm not very hungry." Chi Jingyao sat on the bed and rubbed his eyes, as if he hadn't woken up.

Seeing this, Pei Ye put the bowl containing steamed sweet potatoes and a boiled egg on the bedside cabinet.

Chi Jingyao had no appetite at the moment, so he fell asleep again.

Half asleep and half awake, he had a dream that Pei Ye picked him up and fed him half a bowl of ginger soup.

But the smell of the ginger soup was so strong that his stomach couldn't help but churn, so he threw up on the edge of the bed.

Later, he felt a chill on his forehead, as if covered by a cold veil.

But because his forehead was too hot, the cold handkerchief soon became a hot handkerchief.

I don't know who it was, who was so patient, and changed the kerchief on his forehead to a cooler one before it was too hot.

Chi Jingyao just lingered in the dream of "alternating cold and hot" for a long time, but he still couldn't wake up.

Later, he dreamed that he was being lifted out of the quilt, and he was wrapped in an unknown number of layers, wrapping him like a rice dumpling, as if he was planning to take him out.

"Where are you going?" Chi Jingyao asked deliriously.

"Take you to the clinic." A familiar voice replied.

Chi Jingyao was in a daze, and only remembered that it was snowing heavily outside, and Lao Qian's mule cart was stuck in the county town and could not return.But the medical clinic is in the county seat, and the county seat is so far away that he can only go there by mule cart, so he asked in a daze, "Has the mule cart come back?"

"En." Chi Jingyao seemed to have heard such an answer, but it wasn't quite true.

Half asleep and half awake, Chi Jingyao felt that he was put in the back basket and covered with a blanket.

Then there was a slight sense of weightlessness, and Chi Jingyao felt that he was being carried on his body with a pannier.

Chi Jingyao was firmly tied in a basket, and his body was covered with three layers of things.

Now he didn't feel cold anymore, he just felt uncomfortable from head to toe, so he babbled a few words in his sleep uncontrollably.

He couldn't remember what he said when he was half asleep and half awake, probably he called some messy names.

It's like a seriously ill or drunk person who screams when they see someone.

As for the person carrying him, he hesitated at first, but later, no matter what Chi Jingyao called him, he simply agreed.

That night, Chi Jingyao didn't remember anything he called to the other party.

I only vaguely remembered that the other party reminded him not to sleep from time to time, and said that if he fell asleep, the rest of his wishes would be lost, and Chi Jingyao was so scared that he didn't even have a peaceful dream.
