Chapter 48: The Cannon Fodder Brother in the Chronicle

Even though Pei Xinglin was worried and warned, Xiao Duoyue still went to kindergarten.

Even though he has a heart-to-heart talk with his younger brother every night, on the first day of school, Xiao Duoyue still has to go with Sister Xiaoling. There is no way, Sister Xiaoling is an older child, in Class 3 (1)! Extremely powerful! I know a lot of teachers! Know a lot!

"Xiao Pei, you are so careful. I can just drop the two children off at the kindergarten. You have to make a special trip. You are so worried. You worry about it every day. This will not delay your work in the store."

Grandma Zhang looked at it . Pei Xinglin, who was helping Pei Duoyue carry his small schoolbag and closely following his younger brother, couldn't help but joke.

"After all, it's Xiao Duoyue's first time going to school. It's a special experience. I don't want to be absent and want to keep a souvenir." Pei Xinglin took his brother's other little hand and answered Grandma Zhang's words.

"They say you are smart, but I say you are affectionate and attentive. How could you think so much if you are not affectionate? How could you think so much if you are not attentive? The same goes for your store. They really think that the good things you do in business are based on those clothes. "Grandma Zhang laughed, "What a good boy. You care more about me as a brother than as a parent. No wonder Xiao Duoyue clings to you."

"Xiao Duoyue clings to me?" If so, Pei Xinglin wanted to curl up his lips.

I really don’t blame him for being suddenly happy. The main reason is that the little Zaizai Duoyue has become much more lively since he came to the county. He also has good friends everywhere and even asks Sister Xiaoling to draw pictures. He is no longer there every day. Pei Xinglin was not very adaptable to the little boy who wanted to find his brother, and even felt a little disappointed.

Grandma Zhang didn't see Pei Xinglin's expression, nor did she notice Pei Xinglin's little thoughts. She just answered Pei Xinglin matter-of-factly: "Stick to you! Why don't you stick to me? When I was reading and painting at my house, Xiao Duoyue would do it at 5:30 pm every afternoon. I can't sit still anymore, so I have to look at my watch from time to time, waiting for you to pick me up. If I can't wait for you, this little guy wants to go find you by himself."

"That day, brother who opens his mouth, brother who shuts up, the little guy can't speak easily. , I also want to tell his sister Xiaoling how my brother is doing, how good my brother is, my brother is awesome, I don’t repeat that every day, he really likes you." Grandma Zhang said, remembering Xiao Duoyue's praise. The way my brother looked when he was young, I couldn't help but laugh.

"Hey, how did your parents raise you two sensible children? Xiaoduoyue is so sensible at such a young age, only three years old. Knowing that you are busy, she obediently waits for you at my house every day. Even though she misses you very much, No noise, no fuss, just looking at the watch, with such eager eyes, it makes me feel very sad sometimes." Grandma Zhang said, stroking her heart.

"I said you missed your brother, why didn't you go to your brother? The little guy said, my brother is busy, he makes money, he works hard, he is tired, he has to wait until the time you said before he went to find you."

Grandma Zhang finished stroking her . He looked at the two little guys talking nonsense in his heart, but Pei Xinglin was stunned when he heard Grandma Zhang's words.

After coming to the county town, Little Rabbit was not as clingy to himself as before... But he always thought that this was because the place where Little Rabbit moved had become larger, Little Rabbit had more friends, and Little Rabbit had grown up. Xiaotu is no longer the only one in his world... He found so many reasons, but he never thought that Xiaotu did not want to cause trouble to himself, and he took his brother's hard work into consideration. , he is caring for his brother.

Little Rabbit, he is only three years old, but he is more sensible than himself. He clearly knows how much Little Rabbit likes him and how much Little Rabbit relies on him.

Regardless, Pei Xinglin picked up his little brother.

"Baby." He rubbed the little guy's soft face.

Why are you so good and cute? Why do you make his heart warm every time? Why do you make him unable to speak every time!

"Brother, what's wrong?" Xiao Duoyue was suddenly picked up by her brother, and she was not surprised. She stretched out her little hand to rub her brother's cheek out of habit.

"Baby-" Looking at his brother's beautiful eyes, Pei Xinglin was still speechless.

He wanted to kiss his brother, he wanted to lift his brother to the sky, and he wanted to give his brother the best things in the world.

Xiao Duoyue is his younger brother. They have the same blood and they rely on each other. He is his best younger brother.

"The baby needs to go to school well. You have to tell your brother everything you want, and tell him whatever you want." Pei Xinglin's voice was actually choked. In order not to let Grandma Zhang hear it, he walked a little slower.

"Okay! Xiaotu knows-" Xiao Duoyue pinched his brother's frowned eyebrows. Although his brother had said this several times, he still responded well, "Brother, you should be good at home, Xiaotu noon Just come back."

"You are a better brother than Junhua. You are such a good brother." Grandma Zhang thought that Pei Xinglin was reluctant to let go of her brother. Junhua was Xiaoling's father, and she always felt that her son was. That was good, but now, when compared with Xiao Pei, his son seems a bit irresponsible.

She also didn't know that Pei Xinglin had a lot of words that he couldn't say out loud in his heart. In the end, he could only say this, the most common, ordinary and emotional instruction.

"I'm not a good brother, Xiao Duoyue is a good brother." Pei Xinglin came back to his senses and answered Grandma Zhang's words.

What he said was sincere, because Xiao Duoyue was a good brother, so he was a good brother. It's Xiao Duoyue who likes him so much, sticks to him so much, and thinks about him all the time. Xiao Xiaoren expresses his love for his brother all the time, making him feel his brother's love every moment. This It made him feel warm, cheered him up, and made him a good brother.

...

'October Kindergarten' is the kindergarten that Xiao Duoyue will go to. Before reaching the entrance of the kindergarten, everyone has already seen the colorful and cute patterns on the wall outside, including elephants with long trunks and monkeys with long tails. , there are squirrels with tails like brooms, and children playing on a seesaw...

Xiaoling has become accustomed to such pictures, but Xiao Duoyue can't walk when he sees them. He really likes them so much, Watching everyone playing the seesaw and running... Looking at the warm pictures on the wall, Xiao Duoyue is full of expectations for going to school.

Pei Xinglin looked at his younger brother who was looking at the pictures on the wall intently in his arms, and said, "When our little brother Duoyue has the holiday, how about my brother takes Xiaotu to buy a good picture book? As a gift for our little Duoyue to go to school, it will be It’ll be fine this Sunday.”

“By the way, buy colorful pens, nice drawing books, and our little Duoyue’s favorite picture book.”

Pei Xinglin still wanted to give all the good things to his brother. It's just a drawing book.

Pei Duoyue didn't respond yet. When the children who came to school next to them heard what Pei Xinglin said, they all raised their heads and looked at Pei Xinglin and Pei Duoyue.

This is great! Colorful crayons! There are also nice drawing books!

The little carrot heads looked at Pei Xinglin and then at Xiao Duoyue. He must be so happy!

Pei Xinglin doesn't know that it is very difficult for children nowadays to achieve freedom with colored pens. For most children's colored pens, after they are no longer able to draw, they have to remove the cap at the back and fill it with water before using it again.

Because in the eyes of parents, painting classes are not the main subject, and colored pens are quite expensive compared to other stationery, so they do not buy them for their children if they want them. However, children of Xiao Duoyue's age are the ones who like to write and draw the most. To be able to use color pens freely, in the eyes of children, that is so happy and really enviable.

Pei Xinglin put his younger brother down. Although the child would be back at noon, Xiao Duoyue would often be at Grandma Zhang's house in the morning, but this was different. Xiao Duoyue was about to go to school and would grow up little by little. , junior high school, high school, university, Xiao Duoyue will be farther and farther away from me...

Watching the little guy walking back into the teaching building step by step, Pei Xinglin still stood there.

"Let's go, Xiao Pei."

Grandma Zhang called Pei Xinglin. When she saw that he was still looking at the small building with childlike patterns, Grandma Zhang laughed, "Are you still standing here and reluctant to leave? Originally, I said that if you were busy at noon, I would take care of him together. Take the child back, it seems you can't bear it."

"You can't bear it," Pei Xinglin admitted openly when he heard Grandma Zhang's teasing, "Children grow up all at once, and they will gradually stop caring when they grow up. We need us. I want to spend more time with Xiao Duoyue and make more memories while he is young. "

Just like him, he wanted a harmonious family when he was a child. The child's nature made him rely on his parents, but in the end. Nothing at all. Now, when he thinks about his parents, he can still recall his feelings at that time. Although he doesn't care anymore, he still feels a little regretful.

He regretted losing his childhood, but he didn't want to lose the opportunity to watch his brother grow up.

What he doesn't have, his little darling brother wants to have. He also thought that if he waited for a long time, he would be able to recall every fragment of his brother at every age.

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

'Xiao Duoyue is very popular with children in the kindergarten. Brother Duoyue doesn't have to worry about this. '

This sentence has been spoken to Pei Xinglin by two teachers in Class 1 for nearly two semesters.

Class 1 (One) is the class of Xiaoduoyue Kindergarten. There are two teachers in the class, one is Teacher Xiao Zhang and the other is Teacher Xiao Zhao. Both teachers are very gentle and kind.

When they first knew that Xiao Duoyue only had an older brother at home, they were still very worried. They were afraid that Xiao Duoyue would not adapt well to school and that such a family environment would cause shortcomings to Xiao Duoyue. However, they did not expect that Xiao Duoyue was a soft person. The small sweet potatoes, peeled off the core, are sweet and warm, making people happy just to see them.

Not only their teacher likes this little Duoyue, but also the children in the class.

The two teachers looked at the young man who could be called a man standing in front of them. They also knew who this man was, and he was very famous in the county.

In just two years, he opened three clothing stores, and his articles appeared in newspapers twice. The content of his articles was cut out and collected by many women. Including them. Not only that, they are both loyal customers of Duoduo Clothing Store. In the past two years, they have watched Pei Xinglin's rapid growth with their own eyes.

He was obviously so decisive when he was in the store, but when facing them at school, he was humble and respectful. They knew that this was because they were Xiao Duoyue's teachers, and because Pei Xinglin cared about his younger brother, he would treat them with great caution when facing his younger brother's teachers.

He is a very good brother. Seeing Xiao Duoyue's state, confident, generous, cheerful, lively, and well-behaved, you can know that he grew up in a loving environment. He never cares about anything and treats his classmates And sincere, which is a very good quality.

Their initial worry was that Pei Xinglin was still young and could not take good care of his younger brother, but now it seems that Xiao Duoyue is happier than all the classmates in the class.

Those of them who knew some of the inside stories about the two brothers sometimes admired Pei Xinglin as the older brother. This person is really awesome. He is obviously just an adult, but he has already opened three stores. When talking about clothing stores in the county, the first thing everyone thinks of is Pei Xinglin's store!

In addition, his articles were published in newspapers, and those clothing combinations were regarded as bibles... The two of them also knew the original Pei Xinglin, so they really admired him, and they would think about this from time to time. How did he compress his time to study in two years and how did he grow to this point?

As for Xiao Duoyue, they also really love Xiao Duoyue, their younger brother. The little guy is so pampered by his brother, but he turns out not to be pampered at all, he is sensible, considerate and beautiful. He is simply the beautiful baby that every mother wants!

"It's just..." After thinking about it, Teacher Xiao Zhao still said, "Xiao Duoyue often brings a lot of books to school, such as those fairy tale books. I think those are quite valuable... ..The children in the class are still young, and sometimes the children cannot take good care of the books. "

"Xiao Duoyue is very generous to his classmates. He cherishes his books, but if they are read by too many people, they will inevitably be damaged... ..." Those books are beautifully packaged, and you can tell they are expensive at first glance. Xiao Duoyue often brings books to the kindergarten, and the children will borrow them when they see them. Xiao Duoyue is also very generous, but, like this... She was afraid that Pei Xinglin would be unhappy. After all, the books were very expensive. As a result, the edges would become wrinkled after coming to school to read them a few times...

"It doesn't matter, as long as Xiaotu is happy. Those books were originally bought to make him happy. He borrowed them." It’s okay to give it to your classmates. Xiaotu likes to share it, so it doesn’t matter if you let everyone see it.”

“Oh, okay, that’s good.” Teacher Xiao Zhang next to him also said, “Xiao Duoyue has a very good personality, and the classmates also like him very much. Duoyue will not be bullied at school, and we will take good care of her."

Finally, the two teachers couldn't hold it back: "Well, brother Duoyue, have you got any matching skirts from your store this time? "I really can't help it. I don't know why. The clothes in Pei Xinglin's store just look good. It's summer and I need beautiful clothes so much.

"I'm back. I left it just for you. Teacher Xiao Zhang and Teacher Zhao can come over anytime."

As he spoke, Xiao Duoyue came out of the classroom with a group of classmates.

He seemed really popular among a group of kids.

However, as soon as Xiao Duoyue saw her brother, she spread her taller calves and ran towards him.

"Brother!"

Pei Xinglin took a few steps forward and picked up his child.

"Duoyue, are you going home with your brother?" Several little carrot heads nearby also gathered around.

"Duoyue, can you draw tonight?"

"Duoyue, can we draw together tomorrow?"

"Yes, I'm going home with my brother. You can draw. Okay... "Xiao Duoyue answered one by one.

...

The little carrot heads at the back watched the tall figure carrying the most beautiful child in their class away, pouting and discussing in a low voice: "Brother Duoyue comes to pick up Duoyue every day."

"Yes. , My mother said that he has been in pain for many months. Even if the store is busy, he still comes to see Xiao Duoyue. "

"I also want to have a brother. Xiao Duoyue's brother bought a lot of books for Xiao Duoyue. They are all so beautiful. , my mother was reluctant to buy it for me..."

"I also want a brother. His brother often takes him to the city for many months. Last time they went to the zoo and took a lot of photos. I I saw Duoyue touching the elephant’s trunk!”

“Elephant!” everyone exclaimed, “I’ve never seen an elephant!”

“And Duoyue was playing with the monkey. The monkey’s butt was really big. Red!"

"That's great. I asked the teacher, and the teacher said that zoos are only found in provincial cities, but there are no elephants in the zoos in our provincial cities. They are only found in larger cities."

"Yes, Xiao Duoyue. I went to a bigger city, and I saw Xiao Duoyue on a high building! Looking down, the people looked like ants! "

"Wow!"

"I'm so envious. Duo Yue's brother took Duo Yue there. Why don't I have a brother? I also want to see the monkey's butt at the zoo."

...

"Is the baby happy in the kindergarten today?" Pei Xinglin held his younger brother's small schoolbag on his arm, hugged his younger brother, and pinched his younger brother's nose affectionately with his other hand.

"Happy." Xiao Duoyue hugged her brother's neck, "Brother, the teacher said that everyone has to prepare a program to celebrate Children's Day."

"Xiaotu, I, I still have to prepare a program." Xiao Duoyue said habitually , but this habit gradually changed after entering kindergarten. Only when facing my brother, I still unconsciously call myself Little Rabbit.

"Brother is coming to see me then. The teacher said that Xiaotu's parents are coming that day, and Xiaotu's parent is his brother!" As she said that, Xiaoduoyue became shy. After laughing quietly, she hugged her brother's neck again, her little face Buried on his brother's shoulder.

"Our Xiao Duoyue is so awesome."

"Yes, yes." Xiao Duoyue felt happy and shy when her brother praised her, and she admitted it frankly.

"Little Rabbit, Little Rabbit has to perform a show with his classmates, and Little Rabbit himself has to perform a show." The little guy's face was red and his chest was straight out, like a proud little rooster.

"Our Xiao Duoyue is really awesome. When Xiao Duoyue goes on summer vacation, my brother will take Xiao Duoyue to the provincial capital. We will go play again and my brother will take pictures of Xiaotu."

"Okay." The little guy happily promised his brother. , then put his little face close to his brother's ear, "Brother, they all envy Little Rabbit to have a brother."

"Little Rabbit likes his brother so much." The little guy's cheeks were soft, and he wanted a piece of fragrant cake, and his voice was still Hiding shyness and happiness.

"My brother also likes little rabbits. My brother likes little rabbits the most." Pei Xinglin pinched his younger brother's cheeks and looked at his little face, which looked like a little apple. In his eyes, it was so cute.

"Little Rabbit, Little Rabbit also likes brother the most!"

"Brother likes Xiao Duoyue the most."

"Little Rabbit likes brother the most."

...

In the season of Mengxia, the evening breeze is blowing.

A window is open on the second floor of Pei's house, feeling the summer night alone. This small building is already a house for the two of them.

Pei Xinglin was sitting at his desk, drawing his design draft.

On the left side of the desk are two four-story bookshelves. On the right side of the desk is a soft double sofa. In front of the sofa is a thick carpet. There are several books and paintbrushes scattered on the carpet. Xiao Duoyue is lying on her back. Draw and read on it.

"Brother." Suddenly, Xiao Duoyue called her brother.

"What's wrong, baby?"

"Brother, you are so awesome." The little guy had been reading for an hour and missed his brother, so he came over.

"Why do you say that suddenly?" Pei Xinglin hugged his brother on his lap.

"Liu Yue said that her mother said that her brother's articles have been published in newspapers and many people like them. She also said that her brother will publish books in the future." Xiao Duoyue grabbed her brother's fingers and played with them, "Brother's books will also be like Xiao Duoyue's. Is Duo Yue's painting book like that, placed in a store?"

Pei Xinglin knew what was going on.

After suffering losses in the first year of opening the store, he understood that opening a store cannot just rely on clothes coming in from others. If you want to be unique, you must have something to offer, and this core is him, something in his mind. So he is constantly learning, from the initial clothing matching to designing by himself.

Regarding the matching of clothes, including color matching, style matching, and body matching, he kept looking for books to read and buy. He even shamelessly sent letters to teachers and professors in this field, hoping that they would answer his doubts.

Regarding doubts, answers, and experiences in this area...he has a whole box of notebooks that he recorded.

The two articles published in literary weekly were his carefully written notes.

Fame is sometimes a very useful thing.

"Brother is great, and so is our Little Rabbit."

"Little Rabbit, why is Little Rabbit so great?" The little guy scratched his head happily and confusedly.

"Our little rabbit is so good at painting. When little rabbit grows up, how about we also publish picture books? Just like the picture books that little rabbits buy now, little rabbits also publish picture books for children to see." Pei Xinglin said to his younger brother Raised on the table, two people face each other.

"Is that okay, little rabbit?" Obviously, the little guy became happy.

"Of course, our little rabbit is so good at painting."

Pei Xinglin was not talking nonsense. The little guy really looked like what he painted. Even Teacher Zhang and Teacher Zhao praised him, and told him privately that he should paint seriously. When you get older, maybe you can submit it to a children's newspaper.

Pei Xinglin doesn't care about this. He doesn't want his younger brother to become a painter or anything. He just wants Xiao Duoyue to be happy. If Xiao Duoyue wants to paint, he will paint. Xiao Duoyue is envious of publishing a book. The big deal will be later He published a picture book for Xiao Duoyue at his own expense. In the past six months, he has been studying this a lot, and he knows the process clearly.

However, his Xiao Duoyue is really talented. He has been studying the human body for a long time. His brother took a few glances and was able to draw it almost exactly. Their Xiao Duoyue may really be a little painter in the future!

"Really?" The little guy was very, very happy after hearing his brother's words, "Xiaotu will work harder! Xiaotu will publish a book with his brother!"

Xiao Duoyue believed in his brother so much. It was always his brother who said what he said. He is what he is. Now that his brother says he can do it, he feels that he must be able to do it.

His brother is the most talented and responsible young master of his clan. He always does what he says. He is like a big tree, protecting him firmly.

"It doesn't matter, Xiaotu can paint whenever he wants. Our little Duoyue is so amazing. The grandparents in the village are just waiting for our little Duoyue to go back and paint." Pei Xinglin looked at the time and saw that it was nine o'clock in the evening.

He held his younger brother in his arms again, "Does the baby drink neinei?"

Since his family became rich, Pei Xinglin bought milk powder and ordered milk for his younger brother. Xiao Duoyue also developed the habit of drinking neinei before going to bed.

"Hmm." Xiao Duoyue lay on her brother's shoulder and snorted, "Hey - when Little Rabbit goes back this time, in addition to painting, he also performs a show for his grandparents."

...

The summer wind, always There was a hint of warmth, but even so, Pei Xinglin still covered his sleeping brother with a thin quilt, looked at his sleeping face, squeezed it gently, and then returned to the desk.

After reading the planned content, sorting out my notes and ideas, and drawing three manuscripts, it was already two o'clock in the evening. Lying in bed, thinking about plans for the next month, Pei Xinglin inevitably thought of the man who came with Pei Hailin two days ago.

As expected, Pei Hailin failed to get into college last year. This is another year to make up, and he is expected to be okay this year. However, Sun Ningning has already gone to the provincial capital, and no one is watching him, so he starts to idle around again.

Two days ago, he brought over a boy and said that they could do business together. This man was whom he met on the way to the provincial capital. It was said that he was also a businessman and could get all kinds of hot goods.

He said that as long as he had money, he could bring Pei Xinglin unique clothes and all kinds of book knowledge about clothing that was not available in China.

Pei Xinglin was very interested in this. Although looking at the man's clothes, he could vaguely guess what this man did, but...he must be focusing on his younger brother now. His younger brother is going to celebrate Children's Day. But it’s the child’s first Children’s Day.

'They all envy Xiaotu for having an older brother. '

'Xiaotu likes her brother very much. '

'Xiaotu likes his brother the most. '

I couldn't help it. At 2:45 in the middle of the night, Pei Xinglin laughed out loud. His usually cold and handsome face was now full of gentleness.

He turned over and held his brother, who was already asleep and snoring, in his arms.

He must be successful as an older brother, Xiao Duoyue likes him the most!
