Dead after eight years [rebirth]

Once Wu Yuan and the others left, Cheng Shuibei was left with only his brother and Chacha. After the phone call that day, Zhang Ci'an still sent him a message every few days as usual, keeping a close distance.

【Zhang Da Niu】: "I went to the bookstore, the little monkey said hello."

[Zhang Da Niu]: "Zhou Xingzhan and Luo Tong are getting engaged on National Day."

【Zhang Da Niu】: "Niu Niu wants to chirp a little bit."

Cheng Shuibei doesn't know if the big dog misses the little dog, but Zhang Ci'an probably wants to see him very much.

Sometimes Cheng Shuibei would reply, and sometimes put it aside after just a few glances, and never took the initiative to reveal his words and deeds in Yunan. He believed that Dong Sining would not say much either.

During the time when he was separated from Zhang Cian, Cheng Shuibei received counseling and treatment from Dr. Dong once a week, and his anxiety eased a lot.Dong Sining also assigned him an assignment to outline his ideal life.

Cheng Shuibei took out the quarto sketch paper bought at the stationery store for [-] cents a piece, and started creating with a marker pen at home.

First draw a circle, it must be a sunny day.There is a tree under the sunny day, which is convenient to solve the dog's big problem. A family of three even has to draw a dog with a person. Cheng Shuibei has selfishness and draws Cheng Nan as tall as himself, hoping that his brother will grow taller .

Cheng Shuibei paints as he pleases, because Dong Sining said that she does not need to show her this painting, and only Cheng Shuibei needs to think about the process by himself, so Xiao Cheng began to let himself go for the rest.

Next to Cheng Nan, draw a girl with long hair. It doesn’t need to be too tall, just reach his chin. The two of them are holding the child in each hand, and they are all girls with pigtails—he likes daughters, and he has no hope in this life. Yes, I hope my brother will have two children.I don't know whether Cheng Nan's children should call him uncle or uncle in the future. Cheng Shuibei doesn't care, he thinks it's fine.

Draw a big dog next to Chacha, which is bigger than Chacha and can protect the little princess.The chirping children should be black and white. Cheng Shuibei drew a circle of colors and found that the more he drew, the more he looked like a cow.But no matter what they look like, they are all Chacha's children. Cheng Shuibei usually calls Chacha his younger sister, so these puppies should be called him uncle.

It was uncle and uncle again, Cheng Shuibei was very happy.

Cheng Shuibei was holding Huale, and Cheng Nan just entered the room, leaned over to take a look, and actually understood his masterpiece: "I, Zhang Fei... Cheng Shuibei, why are you alone?"

"How could I be alone..."

Cheng Shuibei continued to pick up the brush and draw while talking.

"Little Monkey has to stay with me, um...Little Monkey's wife and children have to be drawn; Brother Zhou and Sister Tong must not be far from us..."

He was speechless while drawing, because it was really like what Cheng Nan said, he stubbornly matched everyone up, and only painted himself alone in the corner.

"It's okay." Sensing that Cheng Shuibei's mood was abnormal, Cheng Nan who said something wrong hurriedly made amends, "Aren't all the people in this painting by your side?"

Cheng Nan picked up the marker pen and drew a line between himself and Cheng Shuibei's little man: "Look, we are connected together, and I won't despise you as an idiot."

Stupid Cheng Shuibei looked at the crooked black lines, picked up the pen stubbornly, and connected everyone on the painting with himself, and then he was surprised to find that each line was going around a place intentionally or unintentionally, It seemed that someone should have reserved a place beside him.

Admit it, Cheng Shuibei, in the future you sketched, there is him.

Cheng Shuibei pursed his lips, picked up a pen and drew a big dog in the empty space, a big dog that looked like Niuniu.

Xiao Cheng bought [-] or [-] pots of flowers from the flower and bird market, and filled the store with flowers and plants. Cheng Nan asked him what he was doing, and Cheng Shuibei said mysteriously, "Suck formaldehyde."

Cheng Nan muttered for a long time and then advised Cheng Shuibei: "In a sense, the effect of removing formaldehyde from flowers and plants is similar to that of standing here 24 hours a day. If you want to open a store as soon as possible, I suggest you think about other way."

He murmured, and Cheng Shuibei didn't believe it at first, but Cheng Nan turned around and took a home improvement guide book from the shelf, opened it for Xiao Cheng to read.

The evaluation results of several aldehyde removal methods above are indeed similar to what Cheng Nan said.

My brother was so bored that he even fell in love with this book.

Cheng Shuibei resigned to his fate, and turned around to buy a new fan and de-aldehyde spray. As for the flowers and plants, they were decorated in the sea of ​​books, just for decoration.

At Cheng Nan's insistence, a small pet resting area was set up in the store. After Cheng Shuibei cleaned up, let Zhacha go in to experience it. The little guy wagged his tail to express his liking. only satisfied.

After all the renovations were completed, Cheng Shuibei found that his store could no longer be called a pure bookstore. There are sticky notes on the wall for making friends, milk tea and coffee drinks, and a movie viewing area. It is more like a leisure place for young people on weekends. .

His aesthetic style is more than ten years later, and it is incompatible with the "rose cosmetics" and "happiness boutiques" that are all over the street now. Cheng Shuibei is not sure whether his choice will be liked by more people.

But Dong Sining said, just like love, he must first believe that he is worthy of being loved.

At the beginning of August, Ruoshui Bookstore, which had been closed for two months, reopened.

Because Xiao Wu and the others couldn't come back for a while, Cheng Nan was forced to become a small shop assistant, and Cha Cha also put on a pink bow and stood at the door to welcome guests.

So people discovered that a different shop suddenly appeared on the originally deserted fourth floor of this commercial building.

Curious people came in to see it, and were attracted by Cheng Shuibei's well-designed store layout and novel blind box blind bag sales model. They walked around and stayed in the store for an hour unknowingly.

The shop was getting busier and busier, and Cheng Shuibei could barely keep up with the cash register.Cheng Nan put away his eyes with an IQ of [-], showing the sincere eyes of a child, and distributed lollipops to the brothers and sisters who were queuing, successfully calming down the crowd who were a little irritable because of the queuing.

The first day was successful, and when Cheng Shuibei closed the store, he didn't even have the energy to speak.

He completely gave up the plan of only using part-time student workers. According to the degree of enthusiasm, he still has to hire a helper seriously.

Cheng Nan helped him hold his things, and the two of them dragged their tired bodies home.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and Cheng Shuibei really had no intention of cooking, so he bought quick-frozen dumplings from the small supermarket downstairs and went back to cook them.

He was busy in the kitchen, while Cheng Nan calculated the day's income in the living room.

Finally, when his brother reported the number, Cheng Shuibei was so surprised that he almost lost his grip on the spatula.

On the first day of opening, their turnover was as high as 4000 yuan, which was ten times higher than when Manager Wang was there.

Even though he knew that this was the big city Yunan, Cheng Shuibei was surprised by the consumption level of more than ten years ago.

Holding the computer in his hand, Cheng Nan asked Cheng Shuibei what kind of income he had in Yunan.

"I don't know what level it is, but I know it means that Cheng Chacha can eat beef jerky every day and eat big stick bones every day." Cheng Shuibei said.

Cheng Chacha was swinging his teddy bear around, unaware that the income level of his master's family was increasing rapidly, and he was going to become the dog of a rich family.

Cheng Shuibei is also very happy, because he finally stands on the same line with others in a certain aspect. He no longer has to worry about needing financial help from others, and he can stand in front of Zhang Cian in an open and aboveboard manner with his head held high.

The next day, the recruitment notice was posted. Among the people who came to apply for the job one after another, Cheng Shuibei picked a fat man who was like a little monkey.

The little fat man is just an ordinary migrant worker.Cheng Shuibei chose him because he straightened Chacha's dog bowl when he entered the door.

Of course, Cheng Shuibei wouldn't admit it if he was beaten to death, and he stayed with him because the little fat man's surname was Zhang, so he could say "Xiao Zhang" when calling someone.

The bow is long and the chapter is set up early. It sounds not bad.

The high turnover on the first day is normal. To Cheng Shuibei's surprise, the daily turnover was stable at around 2000 yuan in the next few days. In 2007, there was a shop with a daily income of several thousand yuan, which was very remarkable. thing.

After more than half a month, Cheng Shuibei can still make a lot of money after excluding the employees, water and electricity, rent and his brother Zhou's devotion.

In addition to income from selling books and in-store drinks, Cheng Shuibei has another income.

An old customer from Jiang Shuo called Cheng Shuibei to ask if he could hold an event in his store. After Cheng Shuibei gave Xiaohou'er's contact information, he casually said that he is now opening a bookstore in Yunan.As a result, the big customer was even happier when he heard it: "Yunan is good, why don't you use your land to hold a signing in Yunan?"

Cheng Shuibei fully agreed, and only after receiving the materials from the post two days later did he know whose book was signed.

Coincidentally, it was Professor Zhang.

Zhang Ci’an won the number one examination twice, from city number one to province number one, naturally many people rushed to eat his bowl of rice, plus Zhang Zhuangyuan’s good image and good temperament, ordinary materials with his name printed can sell more several times.Zhang Ci'an was naturally unwilling to allow others to use his name to make such money, probably because he was harassed by various parties for a long time, and he had no choice but to finally publish a number one scholar's notebook in his own name.

When he wrote the manuscript for the publishing house, it was during the Chinese New Year. Cheng Shuibei saw that he was busy on the second floor of the Nanbei Bookstore and didn't ask much.

Everyone in Chengshuibei agreed, and the materials were delivered, so they had no choice but to continue preparing.

He originally thought that when he met Zhang Cian, he would find a free day after the school year to ask him to chat with him about the issues suggested by Dong Sining, but now he was caught off guard and was about to meet.

Cheng Shuibei packed up the tables and chairs in the rest area and reading area of ​​the store, hung up banners and roll-up banners according to the requirements of the publishing house, and arranged the tables and chairs for signing and waiting signs.

It just so happened that Wu Yuan, Xiaowen, and Ruyi had returned to school, and Cheng Shuibei asked them to work overtime for two days to work on this matter with Xiao Zhang.

Then on the day of the actual signing, Cheng Shuibei hid.

Before Zhang Ci'an returned to Yunan, he sent a message to Cheng Shuibei, Xiao Cheng pretended not to know why he was here, and simply replied "I know".

With the warm-up of the past few days and the publicity from the publishing house, Ruoshui Bookstore was crowded with people just after the store opened in the morning.Cheng Shuibei hid in the lounge and looked out with a yogurt straw in his mouth. Xiaowen and Ruyi were in charge of guiding, while Xiao Wu and Xiao Zhang followed the people from the magazine to maintain order in the event area.Everything is ready, just waiting for the protagonist.

Zhang Ci'an came here alone. He was carrying a shoulder bag. He didn't look like he came to sign a sale, but he looked like a student who came to buy books, waiting quietly at the door.

Cheng Shuibei spotted him in the crowd at a glance, but Xiao Wu and Xiao Zhang were dumbfounded and no one noticed, so he could only secretly call the two girls outside to make Ruyi call him. Zhang Ci'an led them to the activity area.

Because he was afraid of revealing his secrets, Cheng Shuibei hugged Chacha into the lounge, and even his brother was not allowed to show up. The two of them hid behind the door and waited quietly.

It was bustling outside, because the preparations were sufficient and there were no troubles and the desired publicity effect was achieved.

In the morning, the activity was finally over, and Cheng Shuibei let out a long sigh of relief.

Cheng Nan could sit still, writing and drawing all morning, and it is said that he deduced several formulas.But it's hard for the little dog to choke and chatter all morning, and it's almost exhausted, and it circles around Cheng Shuibei's feet in a low voice.

"Shhh, wait a second, we'll go out after he's gone." Cheng Shuibei comforted the puppy and patted Chicha's head.

Ordinarily, Zhang Ci'an should leave with the people from the publishing house, but Cheng Shuibei waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for the person on the rostrum to leave.

Zhang Ci'an sat upright like that, nodding and shaking his head to the crowd who came to greet him.

Cheng Shuibei secretly scolded several times in his heart, and he didn't know if Professor Zhang had sensed it, so he got up and walked straight to the lounge.

As he got closer and closer, Cheng Shuibei rubbed the dog's ears and almost stopped breathing.

Zhang Ci'an walked to the door of the lounge, didn't knock on the door, just looked at the crack in the door and laughed twice.

Then he squatted down and took out the beef jerky hidden in his backpack.

Then, the chirping in Cheng Shuibei's arms was uncontrollable, and he rushed out through the crack of the door with an "oooooooo".

A family of three, including a person and a dog~
