Is the beginning of a catastrophe? The little farm cook is raising a family with a full warehouse.

After changing into men's clothes and hairstyle, Cheng Yuntao looked at her younger sister Xiaoli and felt both familiar and unfamiliar. Even as her biological sister, she was momentarily dazed when she first saw her, not to mention others.

"Sister, I..."

As soon as Xiaoli opened her mouth to speak, she pulled Cheng Yuntao back to reality. It seemed like she was being honest, but the moment she spoke, she was exposed.

Fortunately, she had talked about this topic before when chatting with Shen Shulan.

Generally speaking, men's vocal cords are longer and thicker, with a lower vibration frequency, and the sound they produce is deeper; women's vocal cords are shorter and thinner, with a higher vibration frequency, and the sound they produce is sharper.

Therefore, the key for girls to disguise their voices as men is to lower the frequency of vocal cord vibration.

Cheng Jingzhu is not yet at the age of voice change, and both of them have childish voices, but Xiaoli's voice is sweeter. If they just lower their voices a little and change the rising tone, it won't sound so obvious.

Scholar Lin said that he would come back to see him in three days. Cheng Yuntao planned to take advantage of this gap to help Xiaoli improve all aspects and strive to make the disguise better.

"Xiao Zhu, come here and take a look."

Cheng Yuntao walked out of the room with her sister Xiaoli, and waved to Cheng Jingzhu who was sitting in a daze in the yard, motioning him to come over.

Cheng Jingzhu saw them from a distance, his mouth wide open, unable to close for a long time, his eyes staring wide open, as if he saw another self walking out of the mirror.

It took him a while to come back to his senses. He subconsciously raised his hand to rub his eyes, thinking that he was dazzled and saw it wrong.

"This...this is too similar to me!"

Cheng Jingzhu trotted over excitedly, as if he had discovered something interesting, and circled around Cheng Yueli. He saw this face every day, so how could she look so different after changing her clothes and hairstyle?

So this is how he looks when others see him on a daily basis?

Cheng Yueli was a little uncomfortable with the sudden change of clothes. When facing Cheng Jingzhu's gaze, she subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

His chin was slightly tucked in, and his shoulders involuntarily shrank inward, trying to find a sense of security with this small action, but he secretly regretted in his heart why he was so timid and cowardly.

"Xiao Li, look up!"

"Put on this outfit, walk out this door, and you'll be Cheng Jingzhu. You have to learn to adapt to this identity. If you're still afraid of other people's gazes when you get to the academy, then you won't be able to concentrate on studying seriously."

Hearing these words, Cheng Yueli immediately straightened her back and raised her drooping head. Her original evasive panic was instantly replaced by a firmness, just like the dawn light penetrating the clouds at dawn, shining brightly.

"I...I will try my best. I can do it!"

The burning ambition burned away her previous cowardice. A voice in Cheng Yueli's heart told her that she must seize the opportunity at hand.

"Eh? Why are there two Xiaozhu?"

At this moment, Jiang Yu came back from working outside. His originally brisk steps came to a sudden stop when he saw the two identical little radishes in the yard, and he staggered twice.

He rubbed his eyes, shook his head, and muttered in confusion.

"Strange! It's broad daylight, and I haven't been drinking. Why am I still hallucinating? Am I dreaming?"

Cheng Yuntao gave her younger brothers and sisters a look, signaling them not to speak, and holding back her laughter, she pushed the two children in front of Jiang Yu.

"Look, which one is your little apprentice?"

Jiang Yu looked suspicious. He leaned over, looked left and right, hesitated for a moment, and pointed to the one on the right with certainty: "This one!"

"Are you sure?" Cheng Yuntao asked back with a smile.

Jiang Yu choked for a moment, but still insisted on his original choice: "I am 100% sure, this is definitely Xiao Zhu."

"Wow! Master! I knew you would recognize me!" Cheng Jingzhu shouted, pounced on him and hugged Jiang Yu's waist.

"How did you recognize me?" Cheng Jingzhu tilted his head and looked at Jiang Yu with starry eyes.

Jiang Yu pulled away the small hands that were wrapped around her waist with a bit of arrogance: "Although we do look alike at first glance, your skin isn't as delicate as Xiaoli's. She's a shade whiter than you."

"By the way, why did you suddenly dress Xiaoli in men's clothes?"

"What's going on?! Are your enemies here to find you? Are you planning to disguise yourself and run away?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu immediately became alert and his expression became more serious. He kept looking around, trying to find anything suspicious. In his inherent impression, only when faced with life-threatening situations would people conceal their gender to facilitate escape.

"That's not the case. Don't think too much about it."

Cheng Yuntao wanted to pat Jiang Yu's shoulder and signal him to relax, but before her hand could touch a piece of clothing, she was grabbed by the other party.

The strength of those hands was astonishing, and their fingers locked onto her like iron clamps, instantly rendering her unable to move.

Cheng Yuntao widened her eyes in astonishment and met Jiang Yu's gaze. What she saw in his eyes was the tension and unspeakable vigilance as if facing a great enemy.

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze, and the only sound in the silence was the rapid breathing of the two people. The breeze blew gently, but it could not blow away the sudden awkward and tense atmosphere.

"It hurts a little... Can you let go first?"

"Uh, sorry! Sorry!"

Jiang Yu seemed to wake up suddenly, and quickly loosened his hand that was tightly holding Cheng Yuntao's wrist. His five fingers loosened instantly, as if the tension just now was just an illusion.

But even though his hand had been loosened, there was still warmth on it, and his fingertips were trembling slightly and uncontrollably.

His eyes dodged for a moment, then regained their usual sharpness. Jiang Yu coughed lightly and straightened his back, as if to suppress the inexplicable panic that surged up in his heart.

But his red ears betrayed him. The unusual blush burned all the way from behind his ears to his cheeks, spreading across his skin, just like the sunset peeking out from the horizon.

In order to divert his attention, he pretended to look around as if nothing had happened, his eyes sweeping over the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard.

"I took Xiaozhu to the private school earlier, hoping to enroll him there so he could study and learn with the other children. But Mr. Lin is a strict teacher and doesn't want to accept students who don't strive for progress. He hopes we'll think it over before sending our child there."

"After returning, Xiaozhu told me that he felt studying wasn't as interesting as practicing martial arts with you, and he didn't want to go to school and suffer that hardship. I thought this was a rare opportunity, so why not let Xiaoli disguise herself as a man and go to the private school under his identity?"

"Since we have this plan, we naturally have to put it into practice first. Isn't this the scene you just saw?" Cheng Yuntao rubbed her slightly red wrist and explained to Jiang Yu, who was looking around at a loss.
