Chapter 40: The Cannon Fodder Brother in the Chronicle

"Little Rabbit needs a big ingot to hold the little ingot!" Pei Duoyue took a pen and lay on the kang to write and draw.

Pei Xinglin came over to take a look and found that the little thing used an inverted trapezoid to represent the ingot. There were many small ingots inside the ingot, and these ingots were arranged to look like a mountain.

Not only this, Xiao Duoyue is also drawing various kinds of ingots with a pen, some of which look like a flower with ingots on it, and there are also various shapes of ingots that he created... Look It turns out that he thought about it very seriously.

Pei Xinglin had some ideas a long time ago, but now that he saw the ingot painted by Xiao Duoyue, his ideas suddenly became clearer.

For New Year pictures of ingots, every family has to buy them during the Chinese New Year, but every year, the ingots they pinch out are all the same, they are all single ingots.

Although everyone is from the village and the appearance of Yuanbao remains the same every year, this does not mean that they cannot accept new things, but there are many that they have not thought of.

Pei Xinglin remembered that the aunts in his village were actually very curious and liked fashion. In their village, something new becomes popular every year. For example, it was popular last year to make cloth into strips and then wrap them up to make cushions on the sofa, and the year before last, I liked to use instant noodle bags to make curtains... At that time, every household could see the same thing, and his family would do it every afternoon. Gather a lot of people to do these things together.

They all cost the same money, and as long as a new one comes out, people will be curious and want to have one themselves.

Therefore, Pei Xinglin also wants to come up with a new idea and create a trend for this year's New Year pictures, couplets, and gold ingots, so he doesn't need to be afraid that the gold paper he bought will not be sold.

...

Pei Xinglin pinched the face of the little guy who was working hard on his creation: "Next time, brother will buy you some nice crayons."

My brother seems to like drawing very much. Every time he stays at home, he will draw Painting, very good.

"What is a crayon?" Pei Duoyue hugged her brother's neck and let him hold her to wash up.

It was still a little cold in the room, and he was buried in his brother's arms.

"It's something that can make your paintings colorful." Pei Xinglin pinched his cheek again.

"Color! Color! Red flowers! Yes! Xiaotu wants it!" Pei Duoyue was happy and even kissed her brother obediently.

"Is this enough?" Pei Xinglin pinched his cheek again.

This little thing now likes his family very much. At first he didn't dare to kiss him, but now he has to kiss him once a day.

Put the child on the stool and wash his little jiojio. It really looks like a pig's hoof, with chubby instep and round toes... Pei Xinglin pinched it.

Put the clothes the little one will wear tomorrow into the quilt to warm them up.

"Did you know that you need to wear gloves when playing with the snowman? If your shoes get wet, go back inside and put on your slippers. You should also warm your feet by the stove." Pei Xinglin explained about the children.

"Yeah! Brother, tell a story!" Pei Duoyue agreed, but he held his brother's arm and asked him to tell him a story.

...---------------- The

Chinese

New Year is coming, everyone is busy, and there are new tasks every day.

The same is true for the Pei family. The quilts and clothes at home need to be disassembled and washed, and the cotton inside needs to be re-strung. They also need to prepare food for the New Year... These are not big things, but they are very trivial and time-consuming. .

Recently, Zhang Chunhong has been preparing cotton-padded jackets and trousers for her children. Children always need new clothes during the Chinese New Year. So every afternoon, the Pei family's big room was the place where everyone gathered to chat.

Everyone would come to Zhang Chunhong's place to chat and make clothes while taking the work they needed to do.

"Does your Xinglin really want to raise that child?" Guo Fenglian asked while sitting on the kang.

In the yard, Pei Duoyue and Pei Xuan were building a snowman. He was small and wearing a thick glove, and was clumsily making the nose of the big snowman next to him. He was still standing on tiptoes, because the snowman was too big and taller than him, so he looked even more cute and cute, so Pei Xuan gave him a slap.

"Fine, he is his younger brother after all, and this child is very well-behaved." Zhang Chunhong quickly put cotton on the already-patterned fabric. They were all soft and new cotton, and they were very warm to wear.

"You guys are so nice. Zhao Wanqing ran away first. Now it's good that Xinglin has to raise her children. When she ran away, why didn't she think about what Xinglin would do after she left." Guo Fenglian is next door to the Pei family, and she also I have watched Pei Xinglin grow up since I was a child, so now I am particularly dissatisfied with Pei Xinglin suddenly having to raise a child.

"She was divorced, and we don't know anything about the couple, but after she left, the second child didn't say anything, and she left without taking anything with her." Zhang Chunhong had a different opinion.

The neighbors couldn't see it, but their sisters-in-law often ate together. She could see that Zhao Wanqing was unhappy every day. She was still as beautiful as a peach when she came to Bailiang Village, but after marrying her second son, she became so unhappy. Rapid withering.

She knew that Zhao Wanqing did not marry the second child voluntarily at that time. After marrying the second child, she also wanted to live a good life and gave birth to Xing Lin, but some people just couldn't live together. The second child turned out to be a good man, but he also became suspicious and angry after getting married. He always felt that his wife's heart was not with him.

Both of them want to live together, but they don't communicate and often quarrel. Of course, this life is not good.

"That's nothing. If she ran away as a woman, what else would she want to take away?" Guo Fenglian said viciously.

She just looked down on Zhao Wanqing, and she wanted to live or die at any time. She didn't understand what that kind of person was thinking, whether he was short of her to eat or to drink from her.

"Now Xinglin is still raising a child. He himself is not in a good situation. He doesn't go to school anymore."

"When that child came, he brought money with him. He didn't want Xinglin to raise it in vain." Zhang Chunhong didn't want to talk about these things.

In particular, she likes Xiao Duoyue very much. The child is beautiful and well-behaved. He is not the kind of child they can raise in the countryside.

Moreover, he is Zhao Wanqing's child. Although she and Zhao Wanqing were sisters-in-law, the two of them did not compete with each other like other sisters-in-law. She sympathized with Zhao Wanqing. She still clearly remembers Zhao Wanqing's appearance and behavior when she got married. In fact, she should understand that Zhao Wanqing does not belong to Bailiang Village.

Even because the couple often quarreled, Pei Xinglin was difficult to talk at a young age and was taciturn in front of people. After his mother left, she could feel that Pei Xinglin even breathed a sigh of relief. However, from that time on, Zhang Chunhong also discovered , my nephew is becoming less and less fond of talking, becoming more and more cold-blooded, and becoming more and more opinionated.

Now that Xiao Duoyue is here, her nephew has become more alive and even makes jokes.

"What does that mean? It takes a lot of effort to raise children now." Guo Fenglian was still unconvinced.

"Why bother? Your fat kid has grown so big, so you didn't even bother." Yu Lan said to Guo Fenglian, "You just don't like Zhao Wanqing, so you are picky about her children."

.... ..The

women in the room were talking and arguing, but soon they changed the topic. Outside, Pei Duoyue was slowly building a snowman with Pei Xuan. He was thinking about his brother.

Pei Xinglin left home yesterday and went to the provincial capital. The market will open in five or six days. At that time, the New Year's goods will be officially sold. He needs to prepare everything before that time, especially if he has designed it himself. There are several kinds of ingots.

From Bailiang Village to the provincial capital, you need to transfer three times. Then you take a train to the provincial capital and need to transfer several more times. It is not safe for Pei Xinglin to go by himself, so he does not take Pei Duoyue with him.

Although Xiao Duoyue knew, he still missed his brother.

"Shhhh~" Just when Pei Duoyue was feeling sad, a whistle suddenly came.

"Hey~ We, Xiao Duoyue, are we building a snowman?" Pei Hailin, who had been outside, suddenly came back, squatted down and looked at Xiao Duoyue.

"Yeah!" Pei Duoyue nodded, although he was still sad.

"Then do you want to go out and play with your brother?" Pei Hailin asked, picking up the child.

"Hey, what are you going to do? Where are you going to take Xiao Duoyue?" Pei Xuan stopped Pei Hailin because this person often has whims and is careless.

"I just carried Xiao Duoyue to my classmate's house to show off." Pei Hailin raised his eyebrows, "You know this feeling, right?"

Xiao Duoyue is so cute, she is really good-looking, not to mention their village, Even in the town, there were no such cute children. They were well-behaved, cute, and sweet-smelling. While Pei Xinglin was away, of course he had to hold the child and play with it more.

"Then you come back early." Pei Xuan asked.

"I know!" Pei Hailin hugged the child, grabbed Xiao Duoyue's hand and shook it towards Pei Xuan.

...

After leaving the house, Pei Hailin held Xiao Duoyue and walked for a long time before he came to a big house.

It may be that I heard human footsteps outside, but there was a fierce dog barking in the yard.

Pei Duoyue's small body was startled, and she hugged Pei Hailin tightly reflexively.

"So this is how Pei Xinglin feels every day." Pei Hailin smiled and touched the child's face, "Don't be afraid, the dog is tied up."

Although the child has only been here for half a month, but does he know that his cousin I still like this kid very much.

From the very beginning when I started eating, I didn’t even know how to give my child a blow. Now I automatically cut sweet potatoes into small pieces. I know that my child needs to eat meat and vegetables every day. I know when my child drinks water every day. I know what clothes my child wears every day and how thick they are. , you know, in the beginning, he was someone who didn’t even know how to change a child’s socks when they got wet.

Now, seeing the child nervous and scared, although Pei Hailin thought the child was cute, he quickly comforted him, otherwise what would happen if Pei Xinglin came back and the little thing complained.

"Do you like your brother?" Pei Hailin put his arms around his back, let Xiao Duoyue lie on his shoulders, and then carried him into the yard.

Pei Duo has been in Bailiang Village for many months and rarely leaves the yard, so although he is scared now, he is still very curious. He turned his head left and right to look, and as a result, he was caught off guard and faced the big black dog in the east of the yard.

That big black dog was so big, and maybe because he felt Pei Duoyue looking at him, one person and one dog looked at each other, and the dog barked again!

"Don't be afraid, let's go into the room right now." Feeling that the child was breathing rapidly, Pei Hailin stopped dawdling and quickly entered the room with the child in his arms.

The room was already full of people, both men and women, all students in their teens and twenties. Now seeing Pei Hailin coming in with a child in his arms, everyone was very curious.

"Is this Pei Xinglin's biological brother?"

"Was he scared by the dog? It's strange, Dahei usually doesn't bark?" The owner was a little confused.

"I heard that Pei Xinglin went to the provincial capital? Should we look for him when Pei Xinglin comes back?"

"Can you give the child an orange? He looks scared."

"Hurry and show us Pei Xinglin's younger brother. I heard he looks very good. It's beautiful!"

As soon as they came in, everyone was talking about it. Pei Duoyue heard the sound and quietly showed his head.

"Wow! He's really good-looking!"

"Oh my god! He's so beautiful! I heard that his mother is from a big city, and sure enough, he's so stylish."

"Give me a hug, his hands look so funny. "

Pei Hailin hugged his brother and felt proud when he heard everyone's praise.

"Come here, let me show you." He said, holding the child and sitting in front of a girl without leaving a trace.

If Xiao Duoyue's beauty makes him seem out of place here, then the girl next to Pei Hailin has a temperament that makes her incompatible with the people around her.

Pei Duoyue was pinched by another young lady, but his eyes were looking at the girl next to Pei Hailin.

He remembers! This girl, Sun Ningning, is the heroine of the original book.

Sun Ningning, who was next to her, saw Xiao Duoyue's big round eyes looking at her, and a smile slowly appeared on her expressionless face.

When Pei Hailin saw Sun Ningning showing such a smile, he became excited and handed Xiao Duoyue over, "Do you want a hug?"

Hearing this, Sun Ningning was still hesitant, but Xiao Duoyue was already crawling on her body.

Sun Ningning, although she is also the protagonist, Xiao Duoyue doesn't hate her.

While crawling, Xiao Duoyue deliberately kicked Pei Hailin with her little feet.

"Hey! You kid!" Pei Hailin always felt that Xiao Duoyue always bullied him on purpose. Sure enough, he was caught with evidence!

...

This time, the world is a period setting with a protagonist like Long Aotian, and the protagonist Pei Hailin is the male protagonist.

In the beginning, he was a relatively lucky person. After he stopped going to school, he met someone who could help him do big business while wandering on the street. Just this person, let him accumulate capital and then he started his own business. During this period, he actually still hadn't grown up. He was still doing whatever he wanted as he did when he was a teenager. As his girlfriend, Sun Ningning, couldn't persuade Pei Hailin, who was so vain at this time.

After that, he met a businessman again. The businessman described that there was a lot of money for them to make on the border. Pei Hailin also called his cousin who was also doing business. However, within two times, something went wrong. In the end, there was no His parents and his cousin, who had no expectations for the world, bore all the blame...

Thinking of this, Pei Duoyue got so angry that she stretched out her little foot and kicked Pei Hailin a few times.

"Hey! You bad guy, just behave in front of your brother." Pei Hailin wanted to spank Pei Duoyue, but when he looked up, he saw Sun Ningning smiling.

Sure enough, children are a weapon against girls, especially Xiao Duoyue. Pei Hailin didn't care how many times Xiao Duoyue kicked him, and even wanted the child to kick him a few more times.

Pei Hailin looked at Xiao Duoyue, who was held by Sun Ningning just now and was now sitting on a small stool, treating a circle of people. He still didn't understand that this little guy was too popular, just pretending to be a doctor. What's so fun about treating patients? Why are all my friends still children?

"Stretch out your hand." Pei Duoyue was also very serious and said in a sweet voice.

The visitor obediently extended his hand.

"How long has this been going on?" He was very serious, still squeezing it with his little hand, and then raising it to look at it.

'Not long, just a week. '

"Have you ever gone out without wearing gloves recently?"

'Yes, little doctor, how do you know?'

"The red hands are frostbite. Wear gloves when going out from now on. Don't play in the snow. If you want to play in the snow, don't do it for more than half an hour a day." Pei Duoyue Extremely serious.

...

Pei Hailin never understood. Until everyone went home, these people were still surrounding him, and even Sun Ningning was by his side! You know, Sun Ningning usually doesn't like to talk!

"Hai Lin, you can hold Xiao Duoyue out to play again in the future."

"Yes, he is so interesting."

"Xiao Duoyue, next time I will see a doctor for my sister."

This is really the first time for everyone to see such disapproval. Children who are noisy or not, it’s not that no one takes the children out to play, but they will definitely go out noisily within half an hour, but Xiao Duoyue is very well-behaved, and he also knows how to treat everyone!

------------------

While walking on the road, Pei Hailin pinched the child's face and said, "I miss your brother so much."

"Yes!" Pei Duoyue nodded.

"Your brother hasn't come back yet." Pei Hailin thought about it. If he had a younger brother who cared about him so much, he would be happy.

"Xiaotu, wait for brother!" Pei Duoyue tugged on Pei Hailin's hair again.

"You kid, why are you pulling my hair again? Tell me, do you dislike me?" Pei Hailin patted the kid's butt.

"I like my brother."

"I asked you if you like me." Pei Hailin patted Xiao Duoyue's butt again.

As the two of them were talking, they saw a tall figure in front of them, and that person was carrying a huge bag.

"Brother! Woo! Wow - brother!"

Before Pei Hailin could recognize him, Pei Duoyue called him, kicked his little feet, and wanted to get off the ground, so he ran to find his brother.

"Woooo-brother!"

Pei Hailin was shocked! Why are you crying like this so suddenly? I didn't do anything to him. I just patted the little guy's butt lightly.

Pei Hailin looked at the figure that was obviously speeding up and felt a little anxious.

Because of Xiao Duoyue's cries, the quiet village at night became unquiet, and the dogs that heard Xiao Duoyue's cries began to bark.

"Don't cry, don't cry." Pei Hailin was anxious, "Look, your brother is back. He won't leave when he comes back this time. In two days, your brother will be able to start a big business and make money to buy delicious food for Xiao Duoyue." Are the things good?"

No matter what, Pei Hailin was relieved to see his cousin back. Pei Xinglin left for three days and went to the provincial capital alone. No one had been to that place, so they were all worried about Pei Xinglin.

However, now that Pei Xinglin is back, he has the ingots made by Pei Xinglin in his house, as well as the ingot tree, and the 'Lotus Ingot'... His grandma liked it, so she sold it in two days. At that time, it should be able to attract everyone’s attention.

However, I don't know if Pei Xinglin bought anything else.

"Brother! Wow -" Pei Duoyue stretched out her little hand towards Pei Xinglin.
