Congrats to the boss and his brother

"Okay, the fireworks are over, go back to sleep." Pei Ye said.

"Er? Brother, do you call this fireworks?" Chi Jingyao had an expression of disbelief.

The monkey brother and the boss next to him also squeaked a few times, as if they were very dissatisfied with the firecracker that Pei Ye set off.

"It's not the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, how can there be fireworks?" Pei Ye said: "Only? This, let's watch it together."

Although Chi Jingyao has some regrets, he also knows that he probably won't be able to see the fireworks tonight.

Previously, Xiao Fang told him that he could see the fireworks on New Year's Eve, probably coaxing him into being a child, but he didn't expect him to take it seriously and missed it.

Before the fireworks, Chi Jingyao could only honestly put the boss in his arms, and followed Pei Ye back to the small courtyard.

That night, Chi Jingyao couldn't sleep for a while, so he put together all the red envelopes he received and counted them together. Adding the ones that Pei Ye insisted on giving him, there were nearly one or two taels of silver.

Of course, most of the red envelopes that the guys gave him were ten or twenty?And Doctor Cheng, the quasi-master, was very generous, sealing him a full five coins, plus Pei Yuan, Ding Xiaowan, and Pei Ye's... Chi Jingyao, and he became a small upstart.

The little nouveau riche put the silver and copper coins in his purse, and then put the purse in the system space, and then he slept happily with his arms around the big guy.

Before going to bed, he still thought, with these lucky money by his side, next time he goes to the county, he can realize the freedom of buns!

What Dr. Cheng said to Pei Yuan that night, although he was drunk, was also his sincere words. Although he had been entangled for a long time, he still hoped that he could accept Chi Jingyao as his apprentice.

Pei Yuan has always been considerate of people's thoughts. He was afraid that he would be too embarrassed to talk about it when he was sober, so he took the initiative to bring up Chi Jingyao's apprenticeship on the sixth day of the lunar new year.

Chi Jingyao had already made a decision, and when he saw Pei Yuan mentioning it, he took advantage of the opportunity to pay homage to Dr. Cheng.

Ding Xiaowan deliberately brewed a bowl of tea, and asked Chi Jingyao to offer tea to Dr. Cheng, and this matter was finally concluded.

Dr. Cheng had a closed disciple, and he was happy for several days in a row, and even gave rewards to the guys in the village.

Chi Jingyao has a new identity, and the feeling in Zhuangzi is not the same anymore. He calls for people wherever he goes, as if everyone is a senior brother or sister, and there is no one who can't get along with him.

Chi Jingyao originally thought that Pei Ye would stay until the fifteenth day, but he didn't expect that on the tenth day of the first day, he packed up his things and said that he would go to the county together in Xiaofang's carriage.

Before leaving, Pei Ye went to Yaoquan's place to re-strengthen Brother Hou's den.

Chi Jingyao, with the boss in his arms, squatted on the rock side by side with Brother Hou to watch him work all morning.

"This time? It's strong. It should be able to last for a year or a half." Pei Ye said.

"Brother Monkey, go in and try." Chi Jingyao said to Monkey.

After hearing the words, the monkey went in and turned around, then simply lay down inside and couldn't come out.

"I have to go." Pei Ye said.

"Er? Brother, wait a moment." Chi Jingyao said, "I'll cook another egg for you."

"Forget it, I'm not hungry." Pei Ye said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the little thing looked a little disappointed, so he changed his tone and said: "Then cook it, I'll wait."

Hearing this, Chi Jingyao hurriedly exchanged an egg from the system mall and put it in the hot pool.

The water vapor around the hot pool is transpiring, dyeing the surrounding air with a faint white mist.

Unable to say why, Chi Jingyao felt a little bit of reluctance.

He has been with Pei Ye for too long, and he is already used to being around each other.

Thinking of not being able to see each other for a long time in the future, he actually felt a little empty.

"Er? Brother..." Chi Jingyao turned his head to look at Pei Ye, and told him, "Don't forget what I told you."

Pei Ye was taken aback, and asked, "What matter?"

"It's about boasting me on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year." Chi Jingyao said, "And you have to boast, but it doesn't count in your heart."

Pei Ye looked helpless, and said, "You don't know if I boasted or not, and you didn't hear it? Can't hear it."

"That's not necessarily true." Chi Jingyao said: "If you cheat, I'll complain to my elder brother."

Pei Ye has always had nothing to do with this little thing, so he had to be awkward.

When the egg was cooked, Pei Ye pulled it out of the hot pool with a wooden stick, then wrapped it in his sleeve and held it in his hand, but he didn't eat it, apparently he planned to take it away.Chi Jingyao knew he couldn't stay with him for too long, so as not to delay Xiaofang and the others' journey, so he didn't say much.

"Tell me to Baozi Ruan, I'll go find him when I get back after a while, and ask him to listen to you." Chi Jingyao said.

"En." Pei Ye responded in a low voice, reached out and patted his shoulder lightly, then turned around and left.

After Pei Ye left, Chi Jingyao became a little unaccustomed to it, and always felt that something was missing around him.

Fortunately, Dr. Cheng took him to study medical science all day long, which diverted his attention a lot.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Chi Jingyao finally saw the fireworks.

He was lying on the stone next to the medicine spring with his arms under his pillow, watching the fireworks exploding not far away. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the firecracker that Pei Ye lit on New Year's Eve.

Compared with the fireworks tonight, that explosion was really wild.

So much so that after a long time, Chi Jingyao has already forgotten the fireworks tonight, but still remembers the firecracker.

Chi Jingyao: ...

Today is the fifteenth day, and Pei Ye actually kept the agreement and praised him from the air!

What Chi Jingyao didn't know was that Pei Ye ran awkwardly to the door of his room that night, and held back for half the night before he uttered such a compliment, which happened to be heard by Rong Niang passing by in the yard.

Rong Niang asked? What was he mumbling about? Pei Ye was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and sneak in, and secretly made up his mind to kill him.

So since the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?, Chi Jingyao hasn't received a system prompt for a long time.

It wasn't until the end of March, when Pei Ye came to Zhuangzi to pick up Pei Yuan with Rong Niang, that Chi Jingyao found an opportunity to "settle accounts" with Pei Ye.

Rong Niang brought Chi Jingyao a lot of things, food and drink, as well as new clothes and shoes.

In addition, there are snacks and toys that Ruan Baozi gave him.

"Did Bao Zi give me the slingshot too?" Chi Jingyao asked while holding a slingshot.

"Your second brother made this for you." Rong Niang smiled.

Chi Jingyao took a look at Pei Ye when he heard the words, Pei Ye's expression was flat, showing no emotion.

"Didn't you want to learn flying knives before?" Pei Ye said, "That thing is too sharp and not suitable for you. You should use this."

Chi Jingyao looked at it for a while with the slingshot in his hand, and then pretended to try to pose.

"I'll teach you." Pei Ye greeted him and went to the courtyard.

Chi Jingyao followed him, and suddenly asked, "Second brother, you broke your promise and promised to praise me, but you didn't do it."

"How do you know I didn't do it?" Pei Ye said.

"Anyway, I just know." Chi Jingyao said: "And you lied to me, isn't it rare that you still don't know?"

Seeing his aggrieved appearance, Pei Ye felt somewhat guilty in his heart.He has always been one-sided, but on this matter, he really broke his promise and failed to do what he promised to the little thing.

"Why don't you change your wish?" Pei Ye asked.

"I don't." Chi Jingyao said: "If you can't do it, see you next time, and I won't talk to you."

After Chi Jingyao finished speaking, he took the slingshot and left, but he really didn't intend to talk to him anymore.

Pei Ye felt a little helpless. Although the little thing likes to play tricks and act like a baby, he rarely loses his temper.

Today is fine, just ignore him.

On that day, Rong Niang and Pei Ye stayed in Zhuangzi for most of the day.

Knowing that Ding Xiaowan was responsible for recovering Pei Yuan's illness, Rongniang was very grateful to her.

Later, she found that Ding Xiaowan's sleeves were torn, and he helped her mend the clothes herself.

Ding Xiaowan is cold-tempered and doesn't like to take the initiative to get close to others, but she is still young after all. Seeing Rong Niang caring about her so much, she immediately thinks of her own mother, and can't help but ? Will want to get close.

Rong Niang has always liked little girls. When she first met Chi Jingyao, she was very precious. Now that she sees Ding Xiaowan, her heart aches.

"Ayao, come with me." Pei Yuan said to Chi Jingyao.

Chi Jingyao followed him out and was taken directly to the courtyard by Pei Yuan.

"I packed all my things, and I left these books for you?" Pei Yuan said, "Now you are studying pharmacology with Dr. Cheng, and you will also read medical books in the future, so reading and literacy must not be neglected."

Chi Jingyao looked at the stack of books with complicated emotions.

Then? Wen Pei Yuan said again: "I greeted Miss Ding, do you have any? You can ask her for any words you don't know, or what you don't understand. If she doesn't understand, just remember, I'll explain it to you when we meet again."

"Oh." Chi Jingyao sighed, his expression very depressed.

The boss jumped onto the desk, reached out and flipped through the books, looking very curious.

"Look... the monkeys you raise love reading more than you do." Pei Yuan laughed.

"Brother." Chi Jingyao didn't want to continue talking about reading, so he asked, "There's something I want to ask you."

"What?" Pei Yuan asked.

"Do you have a girl you like?" Chi Jingyao asked.

Pei Yuan's expression froze, and he said unnaturally: "You are a child, what do you do with this?"

"Brother..." Chi Jingyao said seriously, "You're not too young, I'm afraid I'll delay you."

When Pei Yuan heard the words, he understood Chi Jingyao's thoughts, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, you won't delay me. If I meet a girl I like, I will make it clear to her family that you have no marriage contract with me. "

"Really?" Chi Jingyao asked.

"Naturally." Pei Yuan stretched out his hand and rubbed Chi Jingyao's head and said, "You... don't worry about these things, just follow Dr. Cheng and study hard with peace of mind. Maybe the day you finish your studies and become a teacher, I will already ?..." He smiled and swallowed back the last words.

"Maybe you are married, aren't you?" Chi Jingyao asked.

"Stop being so talkative." Pei Yuan rubbed his head again as he spoke.

Seeing this, the boss at the side also ran over to join in the fun, and reached out to rub Chi Jingyao's head, and Chi Jingyao grabbed him into his arms.

That day, Chi Jingyao was so angry that he didn't ask Pei Ye to teach him how to use a slingshot.

After Pei Ye left, he regretted it.

Although the slingshot is not as cool as the flying knife, it can be used for self-defense anyway, and he actually wants to learn it.

It's just that this thing looks simple, but in his hands, for some reason, it is not accurate.

When Chi Jingyao is free, he likes to put an egg on a rock and use a slingshot to train his head.

But he practiced for several days, but the punches he beat never touched the edge of the egg.

Later, Brother Monkey took his slingshot to play, but accidentally knocked out the egg. Fortunately, the egg was cooked, and after it was knocked out, it was eaten by two monkeys, and it was not wasted. .

Chi Jingyao didn't expect that his slingshot was not as accurate as Brother Monkey, so he was shocked, so he put the slingshot away.

It wasn't until a few months later that Pei Ye came to Zhuangzi to pick him up for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Knowing that he couldn't use it, he taught him for a few days that Chi Jingyao gradually mastered the essentials of slingshot.

Since then, Chi Jingyao's accuracy in shooting the slingshot has become more and more accurate.

At first, he was able to beat stones into a small hot pool from a distance of several feet.

Later, he was able to hit a tree trunk at a distance of more than ten feet.

Later, he was able to take advantage of Brother Monkey's unpreparedness and knock out the food in his hand, which made Brother Monkey often lose his temper with him.

As Chi Jingyao's slingshot became more and more accurate, the days slipped away day by day.

Three years passed by in a flash, and the monkey brother gradually grew old before he knew it, and the boss also grew into a big monkey.

Chi Jingyao grew from a baby to an 11-year-old boy.

Although his face still has a bit of childishness, but the contours of his facial features are no longer as soft and waxy as when he was a child, but a bit more youthful? Human? Special? Exquisite and beautiful.

It's just that although this boy is getting older, his temper is still so annoying, or "annoying monkey".

"Brother Monkey! Don't be angry, don't be angry, I was wrong, I was wrong." Chi Jingyao knocked off the peanut in Brother Monkey's hand, turned his face and hurriedly exchanged two eggs from the space, and kept coaxing: "Next time? I won't bother you to eat anymore, I'll hit the boss."

The boss at the side looked at him blankly, still chewing on the peanuts he had just picked up from the ground.

"I knew you were here." Ding Xiaowan's voice came from not far away.

Chi Jingyao put two eggs into the hot pool and asked, "Sister Ding, do you eat eggs? I'll cook one for you too?"

"I'm not your monkey." Ding Xiaowan said.

"You can eat it even if you're not a monkey. My second brother often eats my boiled eggs." Chi Jingyao said with a smile.

Ding Xiaowan said: "Miss your second brother?"

"I miss my elder brother." Chi Jingyao raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Ding Xiaowan heard the teasing meaning in his tone, pretended to be angry and said: "If you are so talkative, I won't take you out for this free clinic."

"Are you going to the free clinic again?" Chi Jingyao suddenly regained his energy when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "I was wrong, in the future? I won't dare to make fun of you and my elder brother again."

"You still say?" Ding Xiaowan said.

Chi Jingyao hastily pursed his lips, not daring to speak out.

Seeing this, Ding Xiaowan opened her mouth and said, "Is there any village where I went to the free clinic this time? Your village."

"Really?" Chi Jingyao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly said, "How long can you stay?"

"It's hard to say, but the free clinic is over, if you behave well, you can stay at home for a while." Ding Xiaowan said.

In the past few years, Chi Jingyao has been running between Zhuangzi and the medical clinic. Although he occasionally returns to his home for a few days, because of the inconvenience of traveling, most of the time he doesn't want to trouble others.

Now that he can have a legitimate reason to go back, he is naturally very happy.

That day, Chi Jingyao rushed back to pack his luggage.

Over the past few years, Chi Jingyao has learned a lot from Dr. Cheng, and he has mastered basic pharmacology and medical science.Apart from these, Chi Jingyao's greatest achievement was learning how to refine medicine.

He concocted a lot of pills by himself, because Dr. Cheng said that the medicines he concocted can be disposed of by himself, so besides taking out some of them from the pharmacy, Chi Jingyao kept some of them and saved them in the system space for emergencies.

He sold all the remaining pills and exchanged them for points.

Calculated, in the past few years, he has accumulated as many as seven or eight thousand points just by refining medicine.

In addition, in recent years, Chi Jingyao's progress in attacking Pei Ye has also advanced rapidly.

Because three years ago, Chi Jingyao had a "trouble" with Pei Ye, Pei Ye has kept his promise since then.

Except for the occasional few omissions, Pei Ye helps Chi Jingyao check the progress every month on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year.

In three years, Chi Jingyao's progress in attacking Pei Ye has reached 81%.

In addition to the 3000 points, the rewards he received also included correspondingly unlocked food and medicine.

Today, Chi Jingyao's system mall already has all kinds of food and all kinds of strange medicines.

Due to the fact that he got more points than he got out of, his balance has already accumulated to 12275 points.

But Chi Jingyao doesn't think he owns it? With these points, everything will be fine...

Judging from the timeline in the book, Pei Ye is 15 years old this year, and it is estimated that he will join the army soon.

Once the war breaks out, the world will become chaotic, and no one knows what life will be like at that time.

Chi Jingyao now just wants to save more points for emergencies.

Early the next morning, the guys in the village prepared the carriage.

Among them? A carriage is full of medicinal materials that may be used in the free clinic.

Before setting off, Chi Jingyao and Ding Xiaowan both wore men's clothing and tied up their hair neatly.

They are not concerned about gender issues, but because the style of men's clothing is more convenient, and it is more convenient to go out.

Chi Jingyao looks like a young man now, but because of his delicate facial features and fair skin, it's easy to comb his hair like a girl recognized as a girl.But once he puts on men's clothes, he immediately becomes a handsome boy?

"You are 11 years old this year. You don't have to dress up as a girl anymore." Ding Xiaowan said.

"Well." Chi Jingyao said: "But in the future? I can't wear beautiful clothes, and I'm quite reluctant."

Ding Xiaowan laughed and said, "Then you can continue wearing it."

"I was joking." Chi Jingyao said, "If I keep pretending to be a girl, how much it will affect my brother's marriage."

Ding Xiaowan had a slightly unnatural expression upon hearing this, and gave Chi Jingyao a warning look.

Chi Jingyao hurriedly shut up, not daring to tease her anymore.

In the past few years, Ding Xiaowan has passed away.

She looks more and more handsome now, although her demeanor is still cold, she has a bit more mature charm.

She and Chi Jingyao have been together for the past few years, and they love each other like siblings.

Coupled with the fact that Chi Jingyao's household registration is in Dr. Cheng's house, the two of them can be said to be a legitimate family.

Speaking of it, it was an accident that Ding Xiaowan knew Chi Jingyao's secret.

Two years ago in the early autumn, Chi Jingyao caught wind and cold, and Ding Xiaowan took his pulse once. Since then, he knew that Chi Jingyao was a boy.

Although Ding Xiaowan was a little surprised at the time, she felt that everything was reasonable.

No wonder Pei Yuan said at the beginning that he? No matter what? He would never marry Chi Jingyao.

During that illness, not only Ding Xiaowan knew Chi Jingyao's secret, Chi Jingyao also learned from Ding Xiaowan that Pei Yuan also knew that he was a boy.

Chi Jingyao couldn't figure it out. He didn't know what went wrong with him. He didn't know what happened to him when he fell ill that winter until he asked Dr. Cheng.

The person who helped him change his clothes? It wasn't Dr. Cheng at all, but Rong Niang.

In order to "protect" him, Pei Yuan and Rong Niang pretended not to know, and kept it a secret until now.

Chi Jingyao felt guilty and moved because of this.

Not long after that, when Rong Niang came to see him in the village, he blushed and called out "Mother" for the first time to Rong Niang.

That day Rongniang happily hugged him and cried a lot.

Chi Jingyao wanted to speak out that time, but Rong Niang insisted on covering his mouth to prevent him from speaking.

Rong Niang firmly believes that he and Pei Yuan are now free from disease and disaster, it is the result of "avoiding disaster" and "joy", so he is not allowed to speak out, lest it will affect the effect of "avoiding disaster" and cause illness instead.

Although Chi Jingyao tried his best to explain to him that he had an oolong because of changing clothes with Ruan Baozi, but Rong Niang didn't believe it, and only lied when he pretended to be a girl enough.He was afraid that talking too much would make Rongniang uneasy, so he had to agree to wait until he was ten years old before turning back into a boy, so that Rongniang would not worry about him getting sick every day.

Now Chi Jingyao has passed ten years old, which is considered to be eleven.

This trip happened to change into men's clothing for the free clinic, so Rongniang probably won't be worried anymore.

Chi Jingyao and the others were going to several nearby villages for free clinics during their trip, but the first stop they landed in was the village where Pei's family was located.

When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the village, the village head had already brought people with him and was waiting there.

Because the nearby villages are far away from the county seat, many people in the villages always procrastinate when they get sick, like Pei Yuan. It is not uncommon for a minor illness to be delayed into a serious illness, so this kind of free clinic is very important for the villagers. It's a great thing.

Ding Xiaowan and the others come once a year? Spring and Autumn, and every time they come to the village, they will be very warmly entertained.

"Please help me move this box in, be careful not to knock it, there are medicine bottles inside." Chi Jingyao said to a boy who came to help carry the box.

The boy? He responded, turned his head to look at Chi Jingyao, couldn't help being startled, and said, "Aren't you... the one from the eldest brother of the Pei family..."

"It's Pei Qing." Chi Jingyao smiled and said, "Which one are you referring to?"

A few years ago, Pei Qing had a festival with Chi Jingyao. That time at the village head's house, he saw Chi Jingyao and made a rude speech, and was forced by Pei Ye to call Chi Jingyao "sister-in-law".Since then?, every time Chi Jingyao saw him, he would tease him. Because Pei Qing didn't dare to offend Pei Ye, he was afraid that Chi Jingyao would sue him, so he would "bear the burden of humiliation" and call Chi Jingyao "" Sister-in-law".

Pei Qing has grown up and opened up a bit now, not as mean as he was a few years ago, and his face is much more correct.

"I didn't say anything." Pei Qing didn't want to offend him, so he simply went to the side and took Ding Xiaowan's box and said, "Hey, I'll get it for you."

"Hey, what are you calling someone?" Chi Jingyao smiled from the side.

What Chi Jingyao meant was to ask Pei Qing to properly call Ding Xiaowan sister or doctor, but Pei Qing would have completely misunderstood it, thinking that Chi Jingyao was letting herself call him "sister-in-law" as before, so In a muffled voice, he called out "sister-in-law" reluctantly.

When Ding Xiaowan heard him say sister-in-law, she only thought he was calling herself? She was startled, the medicine box in her hand fell to the ground with a bang, her face flushed with shame.Chi Jingyao didn't expect Pei Qing to be so "straightforward", and was a little dazed for a moment, so he stretched out his hand and poked him on the shoulder and said, "What are you yelling about?"

Pei Qing looked puzzled, thinking that this little girl in Pei Ye's family is really not to be offended, and it will be no good if I see you?

Forced himself to call someone, but he didn't like it, and when he turned around, he might sue Pei Ye again, it was so annoying!

"Doctor Ding!" Pei Yuan's voice suddenly came from not far away.

Ding Xiaowan had just packed up the medicine box when she heard that the medicine box in her hand fell to the ground with a bang.

Pei Yuan hurried forward, intending to help her put away the medicine box, but Ding Xiaowan hurried into the hospital with the medicine box in her arms, and ignored him.

"What's wrong with Doctor Ding?" Pei Yuan was a little dazed, but he quickly withdrew his thoughts, turned his gaze to Chi Jingyao, and said, "It's new to wear this outfit today, and he looks like a handsome young man." What did Lang mean?"

"Brother." Chi Jingyao stepped forward to hug Pei Yuan affectionately, and Pei Yuan reached out to rub his head lovingly.

Pei Yuan already knew that Chi Jingyao was a boy four years ago, and he treated him like his own younger brother, without any awkwardness or distractions.Seeing Chi Jingyao in men's clothing now, his attitude towards him is even more natural and intimate.

Naturally, Chi Jingyao didn't think too much about it. Firstly, he knew that Pei Yuan already knew his identity, and secondly, he was wearing men's clothes now, so he didn't have to worry about others' opinions.It's just that he ignored that among the people present, more than one person treated him as a "sister-in-law", so the embrace between him and Pei Yuan was somewhat "overstepping the rules".

After Chi Jingyao hugged Pei Yuan, he saw that Pei Ye had been following Pei Yuan, so he let go of Pei Yuan, stepped forward and called, "Second Brother."

"Tsk..." Seeing the little thing rushing towards him, Pei Ye was afraid that the other party would hug him like he hugged his big brother, so he hurriedly reached out and touched the little thing's shoulder, keeping a wall distance from him. : "Speak well, don't touch your hands."

Chi Jingyao: ...
