Because of one of Qi Zhengli's suggestions, a pleasant summer vacation is not much inferior. Fortunately, Qi Zhengli is indeed a little well-behaved, and he does not have too strong resistance like last summer, so the counseling is more convenient, and his life is more comfortable.

Actually, for me, it doesn't make much difference whether or not I give Qi Zhengli math tutoring during the summer vacation, because I spend every vacation at home (strictly at my aunt's house). The rhythm of life is the same every day.

Help the aunt to fill the buns; When the aunt is busy, she helps cut the vegetables; When my aunt was cooking, I sat in front of the stove and lit the fire; met Qi Zhengzhe and had something to help look after the store......

Then it's a matter of doing your own thing: finish your summer homework, read English and read a book, and get up in the morning to wash the family's clothes.

When it comes to laundry, the reason why my aunt likes me very much and thinks that I am diligent and sensible is a very important aspect.

From the day my aunt took me and my father in, I packed the clothes of the six members of the family. Not to mention the winter and summer vacations, I always get up early to wash my clothes before going to school.

This summer, because I had to tutor Qi Zhengli in mathematics, I did a lot less work on the whole bun filling.

……

This summer vacation is a little different, because Qi Zhengzhe expanded the scale of business, he took the store next door, demolished the wall between the two stores, asked the master to do some decoration, and changed the name of the store to: Zhengzhe Wholesale Department.

Qi Zhengzhe also asked carpenters to build more than a dozen shelves, as long as the goods in the store were placed on the shelves.

One of the biggest differences is that in the past, customers used to stand in front of the counter and ask, but now customers can walk into the store and choose for themselves.

It may seem like a small change, but the customer's feelings are completely different.

Standing in front of the counter to ask, the customer and the goods are separated by the counter, the customer's independent selection has been greatly restricted, the desire to shop is suppressed, and the customer walks to the shelf to choose freely, in addition to the feeling of ownership, the most important thing is that the desire to shop is stimulated.

The most obvious, I think many people have this kind of shopping experience, many times we go shopping often for a purpose, such as buying a pack of cigarettes or a pound of soy sauce, standing in front of the counter to buy, buying a pack of cigarettes is just buying a pack of cigarettes, and when the cigarettes are bought, the shopping is over; When you enter the store and walk to the shelf, it is not the same, and when you choose the cigarettes, you will take advantage of other goods when you see them, and you will buy other goods by the way.

That's where the desire to shop is stimulated.

Since the opening of the "Zhengzhe Wholesale Department", I have been helping out in the store more often, and when Qi Zhengzhe wants to deliver to a small shop in the countryside, I have to stand in the store all morning or all afternoon. The matter of counseling Qi Zhengli has to be put aside.

Qi Caihong and I became more and more familiar.

Zhengzhe's wholesale department and Qi Caihong's clothing store are only a dozen meters away, so Qi Caihong often comes over to chat with me.

This year, Qi Caihong is already twenty years old. People are getting more and more beautiful. Because of the perennial station store, she didn't bask in the sun, her skin was very white, tender and tender, like an advertisement many years later, with a flick of her fingers, water would pop up.

Qi Caihong has a partner who has been in love for two years, a young man who does a little contracting, named Yu Yinshan, I have already told my brother. He was two years older than Qi Caihong, but his skin was very dark. That's because of the extra sun, of course. Standing together, I feel that Yu Yinshan was simply born to accompany the rainbow. The contrast is too stark.

"Kiki is getting prettier. It seems to have grown taller again. How many meters is it? Qi Caihong said. It is worthy of selling clothes, and I pay attention to my dress. The yellow dress was very appropriate to wear on her.

"Sister Rainbow is laughing at me. Who doesn't know that Sister Rainbow is the big beauty on our street. "I feel like my face is a little hot.

"Sister, how can you laugh at you? If you're dressed like me, you don't know how likely you will turn heads. I said Qiqi, what store do you keep for Zhezhe, go to the store for me, and I will pay you a salary. Five dollars a day! Qi Caihong stretched out a palm.

Although I knew that Qi Caihong was joking with me, the salary of five yuan a day still made me staggered. It's already worth the wages of going to work.

"Sister, this is even more fun for me."

"Sister doesn't joke with you. This is also a marketing strategy, with philosophical philosophy. You see why my sister dresses so fashionably and beautifully every day, and she wears it for customers. ”

"I said how business is doing so well." I naturally compliment Qi Rainbow. In fact, I don't know about Qi Caihong's business situation at all.

"Yes, you know, Kiki, since I inquired about Zhezhe's suggestion, and we held a clothing promotion meeting together, my clothing business is one of the best on the street."

"Is it so mysterious?" One of the best on the street, what is the concept?

"Really, my income has doubled compared to before. A lot of times I don't believe my business is going to be so good all of a sudden. ”

"Isn't it soft to count the money?"

"Not really. Anyway, now I believe in a little bit and am very particular about doing business. Zhezhe really has a business mind. Qi Caihong sighed sincerely.

"Sister Rainbow is really good at complimenting. If Qi Zhengzhe knew, wouldn't his tail be up to the sky? Business is done by people. ”

"That's it. Marketing strategy still needs to be exquisite. That's why I thought of asking you to give me a station. I remember last summer, the set of clothes you wore, after the clothing promotion meeting, I went to buy it and sold dozens of sets. By the way, why didn't I see you through it? You don't have that feeling that no one else can wear. ”

The dress Qi Caihong said was a birthday gift from Qi Zhengzhe on my birthday last year.

"That dress is too, too fashionable, we scholars can't wear it." I found a reason to prevaricate. I didn't expect Qi Caihong to remember this set of clothes that I pressed at the foot of the box.

"What the hell. The girls who came to my store to buy were all girls. It's a shame you don't wear it, what a heavenly thing. ”

"Tyrannical creatures." I say.

"Yes. This dress is a crop every year. Last year's clothes are much inferior this year. Hey, sister asked you, what gift did Zhezhe buy you this year? Qi Caihong pulled the stool closer.

"What gift?"

"A birthday present, of course."

"Didn't buy it. How can you buy a birthday gift every year? "On my birthday this year, Qi Zhengzhe gave me a fountain pen, and I knew it was expensive when I grabbed it in my hand. I don't understand why he remembered my birthday so closely.

And I don't remember the day when Qi Zhengzhe was born.

It's that I don't want to remember.

If you want to remember, you won't forget the hardest data to remember. For example, my brother's birthday, the fourth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and the sixteenth day of the ninth month of the solar calendar, I can't forget it if I want to.

"No, it won't. Would someone as attentive as Zhezhe forget about this? ”

"Who would deliberately remember such a small thing. I forgot about it myself. I said.

Because a customer entered the store, Qi Caihong stopped the topic and went to the store, but when she turned around, she changed the topic, because her aunt also came to the store to sit.

"Auntie is busy?" Qi Caihong greeted warmly. Like me, she calls Qi Zhengzhe's mother, "Auntie."

"It's good to be busy or not, don't do these idle things every day." There was a faint smell of flour on my aunt's body.

"That's right. It's like me and Zhezhe Station store, it's the same every day. ”

"You're different. How can we old people compare with you? Let's just say I'm Zhezhe, I think it's very good to have a whole consignment store, he actually thought of expanding, and I'm worried that there won't be so much business to do, and I don't want to become more and more prosperous. Auntie didn't hide her pride, "Besides, your clothing business, who has done you on the whole street?" It's so powerful at a young age, but at my age, it's still okay? ”

"Speaking of my clothing store, I just mentioned it to Kiki, and it's all thanks to Zhezhe." Qi Caihong handed a puff fan to her aunt. "When the sky comes down, I must treat your family to a meal."

"I'm not too hot, you fan," the aunt said, but she still took the fan, "Neighbors, neighbors, do you still need to be so polite?" However, Zhezhe's vision is indeed accurate. ”

"The bag doesn't include me and my father?" I say.

"Of course." Auntie said.

"Kiki and Zhezhe are not just a family." Qi Caihong smiled.

I suddenly felt that her smile was a little ambiguous.

"I'm afraid I'm afraid that Kiki doesn't treat herself as a family." Auntie said.

"What's the matter, since the day Aunt Beat took me in, I have regarded myself as a family." I immediately argued.

"That's pretty much it. Auntie didn't hurt you in vain," Auntie touched my head, "It's only been a few years since I changed from a little girl to a big girl." ”

"And she's a very beautiful big girl. Look at you, Zhezhe and Lili have grown into young men. Both of them are so tall and handsome, I think my aunt will be holding her grandson soon. Qi Caihong said.

"Thanks to the mouth of the rainbow. It is also said that Zhezhe is nineteen years old this year, and his grandson, who got married early, has already embraced. I said rainbow, if you didn't find a partner, I really thought about making you my daughter-in-law. It's a pity that my aunt doesn't have this blessing. ”

"Look at what Auntie said, praise people's hearts, who on the street doesn't know your philosophy...... Zhezhe is a man with a heart. Qi Caihong looked at me with a smile.

"What do you mean, Sister Rainbow?" I say. I think Qi Caihong has something to say.

"Oh, I'm not going to hide it. Who on the street didn't know that the Qi family had a child daughter-in-law. ”

"Child bride?" I'm wondering.

"Oh, Kiki, it's Sister Rainbow kidding you. How can there be a child bride in these years? Neither Zhezhe nor I have this blessing, and Kiki will have to eat public meals in the future. Auntie said.

Only then did I understand the meaning of Qi Caihong's words. Many people on the emotional street regard me as the child daughter-in-law of the Qi Hechun family.

And it's no wonder. The Qi family is indeed too good to us. I stumbled into the alley that year and never stepped out again. In the past four or five years, we have eaten and lived in the Qi family, and although we have also paid food and house rent, my father and I both know that Qijiatun County can no longer find such a low food fee and house rent.

Coupled with the fact that Qi Zhengzhe has been picking me up and dropping me off from school for so many years, who wouldn't think so?

It occurred to me that I should ride my bike to and from school. Qi Zhengzhe's bicycle that bent the steel rim can also be ridden for repair, and it doesn't cost much. What's more, Qi Zhengzhe's business is getting better and better, and he has no time to pick me up and drop me off from school.
