I took a quick shower and went to help my aunt cut the fish, the smaller ones looked white and a little moldy.

We cut the fish next to the pier. Auntie is cutting the grass carp. Some of the fish scales remain on the pier.

"Kiki, I didn't think you could swim and save Lili's life." The aunt dug out the guts from the fish's stomach with her hands and threw them in the trash can on the side.

"It was two adults who saved me," I didn't expect Qi Zhengli to tell his mother about it. Isn't he very dismissive of my actions?

"Of course I want to thank those two adults, but you are the one who needs to be thanked the most. Lili has already told me. "After cutting the grass carp, Auntie went on to cut other small fish. Every time she hollowed out the stomach of a fish, she threw it into a basin filled with water. The water in the basin was already dirty, and it was all dark red blood.

And I was in charge of cutting the belly of the fish with scissors.

"Auntie said this kind of thing, then I saw the outside. You and your uncle are my lifesavers, and I will never forget them for the rest of my life. I said from the bottom of my heart.

"Kiki is so sensible. I'm thinking, who is going to marry your daughter-in-law, I don't know if it's a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes. Diligent, kind, sensible, and so good at reading. ”

"Auntie, look at what you said."

"Shy? Auntie is telling the truth. ”

"How can I be as good as my aunt said?"

"You're better than Auntie said. It's just that my aunt didn't read, so I don't know what to say. Auntie is exaggerating more and more.

"Who are you talking about, Mom, where is there such a nice person?" Qi Zhengzhe walked from his consignment store into the alley.

"Kiki, I'm talking about Kiki. Have you all sorted out those goods? ”

"That's where I'm here to ask Kiki for help. She's cutting the fish, forget it. ”

"Then let Kiki pass. Isn't it important to take care of the goods? Isn't my fish almost ready? Lili didn't know where she had died. By the way, Zhezhe, you know no, Kiki saved your brother's life. Your brother has cramps in the water. "Auntie may have been sitting for a long time, and she got up from her little stool. Her hands were stained with fish blood.

"Does Kiki still have the skills? I said that when I went to pick her up, I saw her soaking wet. Qi Zhengzhe glanced at me in surprise.

"It was two adults who saved me together." I went into the bun shop to scoop water and wash my hands, and then went to the consignment store.

When I arrived at the consignment store, I found that Qi Zhengzhe had already sorted out all the goods. All I could see was a balled bag of goods thrown in a corner.

"Why are you calling me to come after the goods are all sorted out?" I don't understand Qi Zhengzhe's true intentions.

"I already know your soaked secret, so it's time for me to reveal mine." Qi Zhengzhe blinked. No matter how honest a person is, there are times when he is cunning.

"Do you know the secret of me and Qi Zhengli's fighting?"

"People who don't read can't use words, don't care. Have you guessed what it is? ”

I shook my head. I forgot about Qi Zhengzhe buying me a gift. "Don't sell it, I can't guess."

"I bought you a set of clothes, which Colorful picked out for you."

"That's what you agreed to that day?" If I had to guess a hundred times, I wouldn't have guessed it.

"That's right." Qi Zhengzhe was excited.

"I can't ask for it."

"Why can't you ask for it? Also, I just want to surprise you. Qi Zhengzhe was a little anxious.

"Because it's so precious. Dad told me that I couldn't ask for things that were too valuable. "I deliberately lifted my father out. Rejected stubbornly, no one is in a good mood. "But thank you anyway, Qi Zhengzhe."

My heart was full of emotion. It's not that I don't like new clothes, it's not that I deliberately want to be simple, sixteen years old, the age of flowers is the first stage of loving beauty, but I don't want to put too much financial pressure on my father.

Qi Zhengzhe must have seen that the clothes on my body were too old and too small, so he thought of sending me a set of clothes, right?

"This ...... But I've already bought it. ”

"It's just a matter of selling it in Sister Rainbow's store, and you can make a few bucks." I help with ideas.

But Qi Zhengzhe was already very aggrieved, "Hao Junqi, don't you really know?" ”

He was a rare caller to my full name. He always called me "Kiki" in the same way that his mother always called their brother "Zhe Zhe Li", and I always called him by first and last name.

"Don't know what?"

"Today, it's your birthday. I bought you a birthday present. Kiki, I wish you a happy birthday. ”

How can it be? I have never told anyone about my birthday, on this day, I have always blessed myself, I have always pretended to be my brother in front of me and said "Kiki, I wish you a happy birthday", and then I happily agreed "Thank you, brother, thank you brother".

No second person has blessed me on my birthday.

Oh, except when you are ten years old, our rural custom is to invite relatives to congratulate you on your tenth birthday. Do you remember your 10th birthday? I rushed to eat your birthday eggs and was scolded by my grandfather.

"You...... How do you know? "I tried not to let tears spill out of my eyes.

"Uncle Hao gave me the household registration book when I re-applied for your student registration in the first half of the year, and I wrote down this date."

I see. How does a big boy manage to be attentive (perhaps more appropriate) to such an extent?

"Thank you for your blessings. But ......"

"Don't do it, but it's okay, why don't you go and see it first, I'll put Sister Rainbow there, she has a fitting mirror in her store."

My heart was moved, and Qi Zhengzhe took my hand and walked to the clothing store opposite. Qi Caihong was busy hanging her new clothes on the wall.

"Here it is, Kiki. Sister picks it for you, and the size is also tested according to the size of the sister, so you can be sure that you like it. Qi Caihong stuffed the clothes into my hands, "The fitting room is there. ”

I turned back three times at a time. The entanglement in my heart can't be described. I rationally told myself that I couldn't accept such a valuable gift, but I knew that I couldn't touch Qi Zhengzhe's intentions, and I couldn't brush his feelings.

I might like to try it out.

Entering the fitting room, I opened the thin plastic bag, and gently unfolded the clothes, a goose yellow T-shirt and a light blue short skirt, all of which were my favorite colors.

A warm stream of air flowed through my body.

After changing my clothes, I walked out of the fitting room with my head down. I didn't dare look them in the eyes. In the mirror, I was really completely changed. It's the first time I've seen myself so beautiful. I am reminded of the phrase "hibiscus out of the water".

"Tsk, where did this beauty come from? It's a fairy who has descended to earth. Qi Caihong said exaggeratedly, "How about it, Zhezhe, sister's vision is good." ”

"That's why I'm waiting for you to go with me. It fits perfectly. Qi Zhengzhe nodded.

"Is it more than a fit? I don't even know what words to use to describe it? No wonder, who told us both to read anything? I had an idea to let Kiki wear this outfit to stand in my store, and I don't know how many girls are going to buy it. ”

"Don't praise me, Sister Rainbow." I can't tell you how shy I am, but my heart is as sweet as drinking honey.

"I'm not boasting, I'm talking about how I see it. You ask Zhezhe. ”

"Of course you sing and you sing."

"I can't sing and I won't harmonize. I know it's Kiki who was embarrassed. I think Sister Rainbow's idea can be tried. Qi Zhengzhe said.

"What thoughts?" Qi Caihong said.

"As you just said, let Kiki wear this dress and stand in your store to promote it. Don't you think that's a good business strategy? Qi Zhengzhe said very seriously. He's a very good summarist.

"I don't." I say. Let me wear a new dress and stand in Sister Rainbow's store, how embarrassed am I?

But I have to admit that this is indeed a creative business strategy.

A few years later, many businesses and TV stations held "fashion shows" together, and I only realized the advanced consciousness of Qi Zhengzhe and Qi Caihong in business while sitting in front of the TV and watching the performance. It's just that this costume show is not an ordinary girl, a boy, but a well-known fashion model.

"Let's not decide whether you do it or not, Kiki," Qi Zhengzhe still looked serious, "What comes to my mind is that Sister Rainbow has to show the effect of wearing the clothes on her body when she sells clothes, which can very induce young girls' desire to buy." ”

"What do you mean is that I need to try this?" Qi Caihong said. I have already said that Qi Caihong recognizes Qi Zhengzhe's business thinking.

"Yes, of course it's better if Kiki is willing to try it for you," Qi Zhengzhe glanced at me, "If you don't want to ......"

"I can go to this kind of girl. Let her stand in front of the store in my clothes, do nothing, just stand in front of the store, attract the attention of young girls. ”

"Let's diverge a little more, can we do a show like this once, invite a few more. The location is just in the square. That kind of effect. Qi Zhengzhe slapped excitedly.

Neither I nor they expected that I would try on clothes and spark a new type of business promotion.

When they finished talking, they realized that they had completely left out me, the person who had today's birthday.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we were so excited." Qi Zhengzhe hurriedly apologized.

"It's because we're too engaged." Qi Caihong said.

"It's okay. I'm proud. ”

"Proud? I snubbed you, and you are still proud? Qi Zhengzhe couldn't turn a corner.

"Didn't I inspire your ideas?"

"Yes, yes. As compensation, I'm in for a treat tonight. It is also a blessing for your birthday. I have a small gift for you. "Qi Caihong is not over.

"If you want to ask for it, I'll ask you." Qi Zhengzhe said.

"Zhezhe, you misunderstood, I was trying to find a chance for us to sit down and discuss it again. Isn't this entirely for my store's business? Wishing Kiki a birthday, it's incidental. What's this called, Kiki? ”

"Kill two birds with one stone." I say.
