Chapter 47: The cannon fodder brother
"Little Rabbit" in the era article.
One night in February, the Pei brothers' home was on the second floor of the 'Duoduo' clothing store.
Although it was already spring, it was still a bit cold at night, and Xiao Duoyue was prone to getting sick, so Pei Xinglin covered his brother with a thick quilt.
Hearing his brother calling him, Xiao Duoyue was wrapped in a thick quilt and sat obediently on the bed. Because the quilt was too thick and he was too small, he was a little swaying. So, the little guy moved his buttocks and leaned against the wall, getting ready for everything. Finally, he raised his little head and listened to his brother obediently.

"In the future, when sisters come to the store, we can't let them kiss casually." Pei Xinglin stood, looking down at his younger brother, who was blinking with big eyes and looking innocent and ignorant.
"Gudong - why?" Xiao Duoyue sucked the orange powder water her brother had soaked in her mouth, her little face full of doubts.
"Because Xiao Duoyue's face cannot be pinched." Pei Xinglin looked down from a high position and looked at the soft flesh on his younger brother's cheeks, which looked cute and felt good.
"You can pinch it, Xiaotu's face can be pinched." In order to prove that her cheeks can be pinched, Xiao Duoyue deliberately and with difficulty stretched out her other little paw from the quilt rolled up by her brother and pinched it. own cheeks.
[Cat pinches face JPG.]
"Grandma, aunt, they all pinched her." Everyone pinched her, and they all said that Xiao Duoyue was very cute and beautiful, so she pinched and kissed her. Grandma and aunt all said so.
When Pei Xinglin saw his younger brother's actions, he couldn't laugh or cry, and thought how his younger brother could be so cute.
Seeing his brother's dazed action of touching his face, Pei Xinglin bent down and picked up his brother who was rolled into a spring roll.
"What a little fool. Are you not happy in the store recently?"
"Happy!" Pei Duoyue shook his head, "I'm not a little fool -"
The store is very lively. There are many aunts and sisters every day. Everyone likes it. he!
"Okay, as long as Xiaotu is happy." Pei Xinglin also gently squeezed his brother's flesh.
Because Xiao Duoyue is really cute, people who come to the store to buy clothes inevitably want to get close to Xiao Duoyue. And Xiao Duoyue is particularly well-behaved. She calls her aunt and sister obediently, and even takes the initiative to talk to her aunt and sister. Seeing Xiao Zaizai being so active and squirting with milk, those people were even happier, so they would squeeze Xiao Duoyue even more happily, and even kiss his little face.
Pei Xinglin was happy to see his brother's popularity, but there were some people there who would inevitably lose their control over the situation. Sometimes it was light and sometimes it was heavy. When Pei Xinglin saw his brother's cheeks turn red, he was not very willing.
"Forget it, just don't make you happy. Remember, you still can't let your aunt and sister pinch your little cheeks, and you can't kiss you." Pei Xinglin regretted it again and touched his little brother's exposed little head and said.
"Hmm...Brother, Xiaotu, when can Xiaotu go to kindergarten?" Pei Duoyue struggled to free himself from the dumpling, and then rubbed his brother's cheek with his little hands.
Every time his brother squeezes him, Xiao Duoyue feels very comfortable, so he has now developed a habit of rubbing his brother.
"Why do you suddenly want to go to kindergarten?" Pei Xinglin carried his younger brother to the bed and let his younger brother rub his cheek.
Every time he plays with his little brother, it's like playing with a cat. The little guy will purr. Now Xiao Duoyue's two little paws are pinching his face without much strength, as if the cat is on his face. Pei Xinglin let him step on his breasts.
"Because, because Sister Xiaoling is in kindergarten!" Speaking of this, Xiao Duoyue stopped stepping on the milk. She held her cheek with her little hand, and there was a little bit of baby fat leaking out from the side, "Sister Xiaoling said , they, the little teacher Zhao in their class is so gentle, and can also draw!"
When talking about this matter, the little guy's eyes seemed to be shining with stars, because he was so excited, and he was usually more articulate than his peers. Also took a shot.
"When you go to kindergarten, you can also go home with your sister Xiaoling!"
Hearing this, Pei Xinglin paused while stuffing the child's hand into the quilt: "Do you like playing with your sister Xiaoling so much?"
The little guy Wearing a little jacket, although the brother stopped moving, the little guy could take the initiative to get under the quilt. While getting under the quilt, he replied, "Yes, I like it."
"Then do you like brother or sister Xiaoling?" Look at the little guy. After tightening the quilt, Pei Xinglin turned his brother over like a kitten, and then fixed the child with the quilt.
"I like my brother and I also like my sister." Pei Duoyue puffed up her cheeks.
......
------------------
Duoduo clothing store has stocked a lot of new clothes. Because there are activities, such as getting 5 yuan for orders over 70, so this There are many more customers than usual.
"Brother, your dresses are beautiful. The pink blue and goose yellow ones are both beautiful. I think they are even more beautiful than the clothes of the heroine in the movie."
Because there were too many people, Pei Qian was also in the store. help.
Pei Qian likes to watch movies very much, and the clothes of the heroines in the movies are her favorite to imitate. Before Pei Xinglin came to the county to open a store, she could never find suitable clothes. But after Pei Xinglin opened his store, she found that the clothes that Pei Xinglin bought always suited her very well, and she wore them Also very beautiful.
"Yes, yes, the clothes here are always the most attractive in Brother Pei's. I see that although other stores now have beautiful clothes, they don't always taste the same to me, and the combinations never look as good as those in Brother Pei's. "
The student who was trying on clothes next to him also chimed in because he knew Pei Qian.
"Of course. In other stores, you just need to buy good-looking clothes after seeing them. But my brother bought a book specifically to learn how to match clothes. You think they look good because my brother knows how to match them, and the matching clothes are also super suitable. That's why we look good in it."
When Pei Qian said this, she became proud and said to Pei Xinglin, "Brother, tell me, what clothes will suit my classmate?"
She blinked as she spoke, and Pei Xinglin saw. Also cooperate with her.
Recently, the clothing store nearby has seen that his business is booming, and the goods coming in are almost the same as his, which has also affected the store's business a little.
Now, Pei Qian is just cooperating with him. She wants to tell everyone what is the most important thing about his clothing store and add a selling point.
"Then let me tell you." Pei Xinglin looked at Pei Qian's classmates, "Your figure, if classified, can be classified as a pear-shaped figure."
"What is a pear-shaped figure?"
"Can this be classified?"
" Brother, what is my body shape?"
Pei Xinglin heard everyone's question and of course he had to answer: "A pear-shaped figure means narrow shoulders and wide hips, with the shoulder circumference smaller than the hip circumference."
"With this kind of figure, you should avoid tight fitting. "Pants that highlight your hips, puffy skirts with exaggerated bottoms, and hip-hugging skirts that are very popular now. Such clothes will highlight the width of your hips and make your figure look bulky and unharmonious," Pei Xinglin explained.
"So what should we wear? Am I also a pear-shaped figure?"
"What type of figure do I have?"
No one has ever heard of what a pear-shaped figure is. At first, they were very curious when they heard such a term. But after they understood it, they felt that this term was really suitable to describe such a figure.
"Everyone, take your time. Let me talk about the pear-shaped figure first." Pei Xinglin waved his hands to silence everyone, "We wear clothes to look beautiful and to please ourselves, right, so we must learn to use our strengths and avoid weaknesses. We have wide hips, so why not cover them? Okay, this is to avoid shortcomings. Another one is to enhance our strengths. To enhance our strengths is to highlight our own advantages. Narrow shoulders are not a shortcoming. On the contrary, sometimes narrow shoulders and thin back will make us look very young, so we can highlight it appropriately. Let’s take a look at this advantage...”
“My sister’s classmates are very suitable for this high-waisted A-line skirt hanging on the wall. The characteristics of this skirt are that it highlights the waist, covers the crotch, and has shoulder straps on it. It can also show off our shoulders, and when the weather is cold, it can be paired with a knitted sweater."
"Like this." Pei Xinglin took out a lavender loose knitted sweater and handed it to the female classmate.
"Wow! So beautiful! I feel so elegant." Pei Qian watched her classmate change into clothes and felt that her classmate had changed into a different person.
My classmate is taller and has wider hips, so her overall figure does not look very girly. It would be better for her to wear a skirt, but the straight skirt makes her overall effect better than wearing pants, and it does not highlight her advantages very well. , but now, her classmate is tall and looks very imposing and noble in this one-piece high-waisted A-line skirt, but the lavender loose knitted sweater on it adds a touch of quiet elegance to her.
Looking at her classmates' shoulders and backs that were gradually straightening, Pei Qian realized for the first time that she looked so good in clothes when she was tall.
Although it was agreed upon before, Pei Qian still feels envious when she looks at her classmates' clothes. They look so good.
Pei Qian thought so, and of course the customer next to her saw the girl's change with her own eyes, and was even more excited.
It turns out that there are skills in dressing up, but they looked at a somewhat stout girl who suddenly became so beautiful.
"That's awesome! Boss, please give us a matching outfit!"
"This sweater is so beautiful and looks so gentle. I want it too!"
"Boss, I'm tall too, give me something like this too !" A-line skirt!" Everyone saw the change with their own eyes and couldn't help but shout to Pei Xinglin.
"When you wear clothes, don't blindly pursue fashion. Don't spend so much money on the same clothes after seeing what looks good on movie stars. We all have different bodies. Of course, the same clothes will look different. In a word, we must use our strengths and avoid weaknesses. Every woman must have clothes that suit her. "
Fashionable clothes alone cannot attract a steady stream of customers, especially in this small county, where nothing is a secret. Within a week, everyone would be able to find out where Pei Xinglin purchases goods. When they see Pei Xinglin making money, those people will of course buy the same clothes as Feng Jin.
If other stores follow the trend, they will definitely lose their customer base. This is because they do not have the initiative, the initiative lies with the clothes. Pei Xinglin felt that if he wanted to make his shop unique in the county, what was more important was the uniqueness of his shop. This unique core was him and what was in his mind.
Now on the second floor, there are many pictures he drew. He knows every piece of clothing he buys, what size it is, and what kind of body shape it fits. He is even teaching himself how to sew and draw. He wanted to learn to design and sew his own clothes.
As the number of guests increased and changed, he wanted more and more.
He has now gone from selling clothes to make money to wanting customers to wear the clothes he designs. At that time, he can justifiably say what kind of person this clothes is suitable for, and what kind of person he wants (emphasis added) Clothes make customers more beautiful and confident.
"There are so many stores in our county, and I like to come to your house to buy. The clothes I buy from your house are always very suitable for me and they look good. My neighbor has a pair of pants that are exactly the same as mine. They are from the front. The clothes I bought from a store on the street just don't look as good as mine." The speaker was a woman in her thirties who was the director of the Women's Joint Office of a textile factory and often came to Pei Xinglin to buy clothes.
"I remember that one, the pants were tight and made the legs look longer, but tight pants generally have the same problem. If the hips are wider, the legs will look shorter, so you need to match them with a suitable top."
" Yes, you recommended me to match it with a top last time, and it felt different when I put it on."
As soon as the woman finished speaking, other customers nearby also came over to ask what kind of pants they were, and some asked Pei Xinglin to match them with their clothes.
There were so many people in the store that Pei Xinglin didn't even notice when Xiao Duoyue came in from Grandma Zhang's house next door.
"It's so cute, oh Xinglin, you are very good yourself, but how did you raise your brother? Why is this child so well-behaved and cute? Moreover, he is not afraid of being born, unlike my children who hide when they see people. "Pei Xinglin turned around and found that his brother was being hugged by the guest again.
"He is well-behaved himself and likes to learn. I didn't do much to teach him." Pei Xinglin couldn't help but feel a little proud when he heard others praise his younger brother.
"Your brother has never been more well-behaved. He is also good at literature and art. He even danced for us last time and said he was performing for his brother. If my child is so sensible, I can laugh out of my dreams."
"Xiao Duoyue " Did he dance for you? He told us a story that day. "
"This child is very smart." The woman holding Xiao Duoyue is also from this courtyard. Everyone is familiar with it. At this point, she lowered her head and looked at the child. He kissed her cheek very affectionately, "Isn't it Xiaoduoyue? Our Xiaoduoyue can draw, dance, and tell stories again. We already know a lot of words before we even go to kindergarten."
"My brother's family has a daughter who is one year older than Xiao Duoyue. She is well behaved. My brother and my sister-in-law are both workers. My niece is the only daughter in the family. What do you think? Do you want to marry my brother? " The customers nearby heard the words of Aunt Guiying, who was holding Xiao Duoyue, and joined in the fun.
"You, my family also has a daughter, who is the same age as Duoyue. How about you, Xinglin, do you want to be with my family? Your Duoyue is really too lovable."
...
.
Sometimes, it's not good for a younger brother to be too popular. Pei Xinglin rubbed his stiff face.
"Little Rabbit..." After washing up at night, the two brothers were in bed, and he calmly called his brother's name.
"Brother?" Xiao Duoyue looked away from her drawing notebook.
"Xiaotu, how old are you this year?" Pei Xinglin saw his brother's eyes and thought he was so cute. He couldn't help but picked up the child and started to play with it.
"Xiaotu, Xiaotu is three years old this year." Pei Duoyue heard his brother's question, flexed his fingers, and finally answered his brother.
"Oh." Pei Xinglin pinched his brother's cheek again, "Does Xiaotu know that boys can only get married when they are over 22 years old?"
Pei Duoyue was a little sad because he didn't know about his brother's problem. He lowered his head, Whispered, "Xiaotu, no, I don't know."
"Then brother tells you that Xiaotu can only get married when he is 22 years old. The aunts in the store today said that it is not allowed to order a doll for Xiaotu. It's allowed, do you know?" Pinch your cheek.
"Even if you go to kindergarten, you can't kiss a baby, do you know?" He held his hand.
Thinking of the customers who introduced the little girl to his brother today, even though it was a joke, his brother stupidly said that Xiaotu was already three years old and could go to kindergarten and had grown up.
Even when people asked whether we agreed to have a baby kiss, this little thing still nodded!
Although he knew that his brother didn't understand and that it was impossible to have a baby kiss, the thought of his brother nodding gave Pei Xinglin a heart attack.
"Did you hear that, little rabbit can't be kissed by dolls, and he can't be kissed by dolls when he goes to kindergarten." Pei Xinglin pinched the child's cheek.
"It's a few islands, it's a few islands, it's a few islands, little rabbit." Xiao Duoyue said while squeezing her brother's hand, trying to get him to let go of his little face.
"Little fool, I agree to whatever others say."
"Little Rabbit is not a fool!"
[Cat Cat is angry JPG.]
"Little fool."
"Little Rabbit is not a fool! Little Rabbit is smart!" Pei Duoyue was unhappy and twisted around. , refuted his brother, and even wanted to turn his back on his brother and stop talking to him because of his anger.
[Cat Mushroom JPG.]
"Okay, okay, Little Rabbit is not a little fool. Let Little Rabbit settle accounts with his brother and see how much money we made in half a year."
Seeing his little brother's small body, he started to flutter like a small fish and refuted that he was not a little fool. Idiot, Pei Xinglin smiled and rubbed the cheek of the little idiot brother, kissed the fragrant cheek, then changed his position holding the child, and picked up the bankbook that had been placed next to him from the beginning.
In the past six months, the store's business has been very good. Pei Xinglin went to Pengcheng twice and the provincial capital three times, and he also had Pengcheng deliver goods twice. The profits from clothing are actually quite large. The clothes he bought in batches for RMB 15 can be sold for RMB 30 to RMB 35, and the larger the clothes, the greater the profit.
If it was a large piece of clothing brought back from Pengcheng, he could even earn ninety-one hundred for one piece! For example, coats, while ensuring quality, are also the most profitable. Pei Xinglin can also match them. Generally, people who are willing to buy coats will always buy underwear and pants under Pei Xinglin's persuasion.
Pei Xinglin discovered that there is no shortage of rich people at any time. The expensive and high-quality coats that he did not dare to buy at first were the fastest selling.
There is also woolen yarn. He not only sells woolen yarn himself, but also invites people in the village to knit sweaters, which are sold well in the store...
There are also hair ties, although they are small items and the profit is relatively small. , but because I match my clothes every time, I walk a lot.
The number was too big and I didn't understand it very well. Xiao Duoyue poked his head and looked at his brother holding the folding book, only to find that there were several zeros on it.
"In addition to renting a house and purchasing goods, our family still owed you 500 yuan, but now, we already have 8,500 yuan."
Pei Xinglin is very satisfied. In just half a year, we have already earned 8,000 yuan, and we can even buy a house in the city. , he can give Xiaotu a home in the city.
"Let's try harder. Brother, how about taking Xiaotu to the provincial capital to buy a house? Brother will try hard to let Xiaotu go to the provincial capital when he is in elementary school. By then, Xiaotu will also know about the Children's Palace and can also go to the park to play. Xiaotu's life It will be exactly as described in the Chinese textbook."
Pei Xinglin pinched his brother's nose.
"Brother is the best!" Xiaotu didn't understand what his brother meant yet, but now he understood his brother's happiness, so the little guy hugged his brother and acted like a baby.
"Xiaotu is also the best."
"Xiaotu is the smartest. He will definitely be admitted to college. Don't be like your brother Hailin. He does what others say. He always thinks that money is easy to make. He can't understand clearly when others coax him." Pei Xinglin hugged his younger brother, and the two brothers chatted at night.
Speaking of this, Pei Xinglin seemed to think of something again, "When I go to the provincial capital, Xiaotu also needs to understand that boys can only get married when they are 22 years old, and we, Xiaotu, will go to university in the future. It is said that there are some graduate students. My brother is rich. , Little Rabbit has to go to school all the time, so Little Rabbit has to focus on his studies and there can’t be any baby kisses, do you understand?”
