Chapter 42:

Two of the cannon fodder brothers in the era article were with children. When the children heard Pei Xinglin say this, they could not imagine how beautiful those sweaters would be, but when they heard Pei Xinglin say that they were unique, the children were happy. It didn't work, so I pulled my mother's clothes and asked her to buy wool.

"How do you sell this wool?" one of the people asked.

They still had the wool in their hands and couldn't put it down. It felt really soft to the touch.

Some people are born with no resistance to certain types of things. For example, many girls like to buy bedding, and many men like to buy shoes...

When Pei Xinglin heard them ask this, he knew the success or failure. This is one move, don't be in a hurry.

"These beautiful colored wools cost eight yuan per pound, and these black ones cost seven yuan per pound."

"Ah! This is too expensive!" the woman said, trying to put down the wool in her hand.

"Yes, it's too expensive. You can even buy two or three kilograms of meat."

"Aunts, meat is a necessity, but if we only eat two meals, it will be gone. And meat is very important, but we also need wool. You can't say it's a waste of money."

"We are now preparing for the New Year. We have worked hard for a year, why can't we spend a little money to buy something we like? Besides, these wools cost eight yuan a pound, but a pound of wool is basically nothing. We can make clothes for two children, so it only costs four yuan for one child.”

“For four yuan, let’s add some wool from home. The clothes will last for three to five years, so the wool will only last for one year.” One dollar, and for this one dollar, if we no longer wear sweaters, can we knit gloves, neck covers or even small bags? In this way, we only need to spend 30 to 50 cents a year to wear such beautiful wool. Go home. The wool can be used for a long, long time. This kind of wool does not shrink or fade. As long as it is well protected, it can be used for ten years. "

"And this is definitely good wool, otherwise I will give you fire. Burn the wool, and you will immediately know the difference between this wool and the wool we wear. Our wool smells bad when it is burned, but this one is made of cotton, and the smell of burning it is also good. This What does it mean? This means that wool is absolutely cold-resistant and healthy."

More and more people were gathered around. Pei Xinglin picked up a match and lit a piece of bright yellow wool. Sure enough, there was no black smoke.

"Look, if you go back and burn our old wool, it's definitely not like this. Wool like mine is very warm. The most important thing is that now is the Chinese New Year, and every household has to replace it with new ones, which means that we will be prosperous in the coming year. "I have been working hard for a year, so I can wear something beautiful for my children and go out with dignity."

The person next to me was moved by what Pei Xinglin said.

"Yeah, it's really only a few cents a year."

"That said, yes, it seems expensive now, but when you break it down, this wool is actually pretty good. We're not saying it's only for one year. " Yes."

"It's been a hard year, and the children's sweaters have been worn for several years. It's good to get new ones for

the New Year ."

"Young man, give us those papers at the back ." Take a look." Someone nearby saw the paper in Pei Xinglin's hand and was curious.

Pei Xinglin originally wanted to show it to them.

"These are new knitting methods for sweaters. The knitted sweaters are very beautiful and unique. Children wearing them will definitely be the only ones in the village." Pei Xinglin said.

"Aunt, buy it. The sweater is very nice! Xiaotu's neckband is also very nice!"

Seeing the aunts hesitating, Xiao Duoyue put on the bright yellow neckband and walked over without knowing when. .

The child is already beautiful, with skin as white as milk and black and bright eyes. Now that she puts on that bright yellow neckband, she looks even more clean and beautiful. At first glance, Wen Wen Jing Jing is a very well-behaved child, a typical child from other people's families. . When a person like this stands in the crowd, he will definitely be the first thing he sees.

It's so cute. The little face is already pretty. When everyone looked at the neckband, they just thought the color was pretty. But now, with this neckband on the child's neck, and the neckband rubbing against his cheek from time to time, I think this neckband is also cute. It’s so soft and will definitely be comfortable for kids to wear.

"How about buying some? I saw that he has a lot of weaving methods on this. Let's buy some and match it with our own wool. The knitting will definitely look good."

"And the quality, I think, is really good."

Pei Xinglin turned out to be Pei Xinglin drew a few more of the papers with the weaving patterns he brought back, and also colored them with colored pens. Although they were not as delicate as the original ones, looking at them now, he can still clearly see the steps. .

In the end, although it was expensive, some people still bought it, one pound of wool per person. Pei Xinglin also gave the booklet that was given only after buying three pounds. They live close to each other, and they always knit sweaters together, so everyone can see.

Maybe this is what business people value about getting off to a good start. When one person buys it, subsequent business will also come.

Everyone likes to bargain, but Pei Xinglin is determined not to lower the price. He will only give a small card or couplet to those who buy a certain amount.

Pei Xinglin's couplets were all from the county town, plus the forty yuan added in from the provincial town. Although they were products sold by others at that time, it does not mean that there are problems with these products. Compared with the ones written with brushes and the ones bought in black calligraphy in the village, Pei Xinglin's couplets with gold calligraphy look more glittering and festive. Everyone loved it.

"Mom, I want a flower on my head." It was no longer the voice of five or ten little girls passing by.

These hairpins and hairpins from Pei Xinglin are really attractive. There are lifelike butterfly hairpins with moving wings, hairpins with piglets, and hairpins with little strawberries and apples. They look very cute and delicate. .

Compared with the usual red headbands or colorful bare headbands, this kind of hair tie is really cute. It must be very cute when tied in a little girl's hair during the Chinese New Year.

It's the Chinese New Year, after all, it's the Chinese New Year, and everyone's hands are always looser than usual, so some parents can't handle their daughters' coquettishness and buy hair ties.

The profit from hair ties is not very big, but these are small gadgets and do not take up any space, so it is still very cost-effective to bring a little each time.

Moreover, Pei Xinglin also discovered that parents are still willing to spend money on their children. Wool is very expensive, but most people buy it because they like it, and they also buy it to knit for their children. Hair ties are good-looking, but relatively expensive, but adults still buy them for themselves...

There are many people in the market, and everyone has to look at Pei Xinglin's sweater every time, whether he makes it or not . When the business was done, Pei Xinglin had to explain it carefully to every person who came over. He was also very busy. He only started eating lunch after there were fewer people.

It gets dark early here at night, and at around four o'clock in the afternoon, someone has already closed the stall. Because Pei Xinglin is from the village, he closed the stall a little late and didn't go home until after five o'clock.

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

In the morning, we ate next door without a fire. No one was at home at noon. No one was in the house without a fire all day. When I come back at night, it's extremely cold at home.

Pei Xinglin quickly took out firewood and corn stalks from the woodshed and started to light a fire. As long as there was a fire, the house would be warm.

Xiaoduoyue is also cold, so I rub my little hands from time to time.

The child is also outside with his brother today. Although he is small, he is really useful. He is like a little model. There are even several people who want to buy the collar around his neck because it looks so beautiful on the child. The woolen yarn sold today , the bright yellow ones sell more.

Pei Xinglin sat on the small bench and watched the fire while holding his brother and rubbing his little hands.

"Are you tired today, Little Rabbit?"

"No! Little Rabbit is with his brother!" Pei Duoyue curled his eyes, he was very happy to be with his brother!

"Why are you so good?" Pei Xinglin couldn't hold back and kissed his brother. He was so good.

"I like my brother!" Because of his brother's kiss, the little guy was a little shy and buried his head on his brother's shoulder.

In the evening, I ate steamed sweet potato buns, but because the steamed buns were freshly steamed and served with pickles, they tasted delicious. Xiao Duoyue ate two fragrant roasted sweet potatoes. Her stomach was full and she was leaning on the pillow now. in a daze.

Pei Xinglin also got on the kang. He couldn't help it just now. Although he knew what he was doing, he still had to go to the other side to be happy.

"Come, let's settle the accounts with brother." Pei Xinglin hugged his brother and let him lean against him, and the two brothers counted the money together.

"Fifty cents, one yuan, two yuan..."

The more they counted, the happier they became. Today they sold one hundred and twenty-eight and a half yuan! The cost of the wool here is 44 yuan, and the cost of issuing the card couplets is 8 yuan, and the rest is all earned by them!

He actually made seventy-six!

You know, the salary in big cities now is only more than 100 yuan a month! He made so much in just one day!

Pei Xinglin rubbed his brother's little face again!

He was somewhat grateful to his younger brother. If it hadn't been for his arrival and if he hadn't known that he had to raise his younger brother, he might not have had the courage to do business. Even if he did business, he might not have had the courage to go to the provincial capital. But now, but now, he suddenly feels good Be practical, of all the difficulties, the hardest is the first step.

He has now taken the first step, and if he is asked to go to the provincial capital again now, he will not be afraid of being nervous.

Pei Xinglin stuffed the two dollars inside into his brother's pocket.

"It's for Little Rabbit. Little Rabbit will buy sweets to eat tomorrow." Pei Xinglin squeezed his little brother's little hand again, and it was a lucky star.

When I stop setting up a stall, I have to buy some things for my brother, such as gloves for children and things to put on the hands and face of the child. After more than half a month, the chapped face of the little guy has not improved much. .....

"Is Little Rabbit happy?"

"Happy!"

The money was spread out on the kang, and he was happy when he saw the money.

I sold thirteen kilograms of wool in one day. Although this was my first day, at this rate, I estimated that I could still sell it for more than ten days. After I sold it, I would be busy with family matters for a few days before celebrating the New Year.

At the very least, he will definitely not lose money this time, and he has saved money for business next year. He already has an idea.

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

Xiao Duoyue has hardly been out here, so she is not very familiar with the children in Bailiang Village.

However, now, because I follow my brother to sell wool, there are many people coming and going, and there are many children. There are lively children who are curious about Xiao Duoyue, so they can’t help but want to talk to Xiao Duoyue more. Therefore, in these few days, Xiao Duoyue Yue also got to know a lot of children.

"Duoyue, we are going skiing, do you want to go?" The person who came to see Pei Duoyue was a child two or three years older than Pei Duoyue. His home was in the alley next to Xiao Duoyue's house. Pei Xinglin said to him Very familiar too.

"Little Rabbit, let's go play. There's no one here anymore. Brother will go home soon." Pei Xinglin saw a friend coming to see his brother. He knelt down and adjusted the ear protection on his ears.

He also liked playing with children when he was a child, but since his parents divorced, he didn't like to go out. But when he grew up, he thought back that he was happiest when playing with friends, so he hoped that his younger brother would be like this too. hapiness.

"I will go home after playing for a while, and my brother will go home soon."

Xiao Duoyue is very well-behaved, and she is also very well-behaved when playing with her friends. There is a market recently, and Xiao Duoyue often buys delicious things and can also Share it with them, which makes these people like Xiao Duoyue even more.

"I brought melon seeds from home today! My mother fried them. They are very delicious!" Erhu, a fat little boy, was very proud.

"I am a peanut! My brother and they often roast peanuts! We can do it too! It's so fun!"

"I took my persimmons, but my mother only gave me three, so we can share them."

I saw everyone taking them Looking for delicious food, Xiao Duoyue was a little embarrassed because she had nothing.

"It's okay Duo Yue, you have given us a lot of delicious food before." Er Hu saw Xiao Duo Yue looking around a little embarrassed, and patted Xiao Duo Yue on the shoulder like a big brother.

"Let's go play first. There are already people over there. Let's eat after we finish playing."

"Okay!"

"Hands on the back of your hands in a while! Let's go out together! This way we are a family."

Xiao Duoyue was also among them, but... He can't play many games, but he can play today's jump grid, but he doesn't play well, but Erhu doesn't care. In his opinion, Xiao Duoyue is his little brother, and Xiao Duoyue is very young. , it is natural to play poorly.

After everyone finished playing lattice and playing with wooden figures for a while, it was getting dark now, and Xiao Duoyue wanted to find her brother. He patted his knee. He fell twice while playing lattice today.

"Ah, we haven't eaten together yet." Erhu was still unfinished.

The weather has been nice recently and there is no snow on the ground, allowing them to run freely.

"Yeah, let's eat some peanuts together and then go back."

Xiao Duoyue hesitated. While hesitating, a candied haws seller passed by. Thinking that everyone was bringing something, but she didn't have any, Xiao Duoyue bought some candied haws.

Nowadays, it is good for a child to have a dime of pocket money, but Pei Xinglin is very willing to spend money for his younger brother. He puts a little money in his pocket every day. This is the first time Erhu and the others saw Pei Duoyue take something out of his pocket. I was shocked when I paid two yuan.

"Duoyue, your brother is so kind to you, but my mother won't give me pocket money." Erhu bit into half of the candied haws and ate the sweet candied haws, Erhu said with envy.

"Yes, you can buy a lot of delicious food. I haven't eaten many of them."

"The little cake we had that day was really delicious. Let's eat it later." Erhu was still not finished.

"I also want to have pocket money. I heard that children in big cities have pocket money."

"Duoyue, it would be great if my brother was as good as your brother."

Pei Duoyue heard what everyone said and heard everyone say He was very happy when he was praising his brother.

Everyone walked while eating. Because of Pei Xinglin's previous instructions, everyone was ready to send Xiao Duoyue to the door.

"What is that?"

"It seems to be a dog."

"!" Xiao Duoyue became nervous when she heard everyone talking and looked forward.

dog! He is most afraid of dogs.

Seeing the dog coming towards them, Pei Duoyue couldn't help but tears burst from his eyes.

"Wow!"

...

"Did you hear any crying?" Pei Xuan asked at home.

"Is it more than a month?" Pei Hailin, who was kneeling on the ground, also turned his head.

"It's many months!" Zhang Chunhong also said.

"What's going on? Is Xinglin back?"

"Why are you still standing there! Why don't you go out and have a look!" Grandma Pei, who was originally angry about Pei Hailin, heard the cry of the child in the alley and was the first to stand up and go to Walk outside.
