"Are you sure your brother is only in the second grade? He is only eight years old this year?" Ding Miaomiao asked Du Bin in surprise.
"You'll get used to it." Du Bin shrugged humorously.
"Hey, Sister Miaomiao, you're here." Du Chen greeted Ding Miaomiao when he saw her at the door.
"Well, I came here to return the book. The book by Liu Yong you recommended to me is quite good." Ding Miaomiao handed over the book in her hand.
"Brother, why did you bring the Walkman into the store?" Du Bin asked Du Chen while looking at the Walkman on the counter.
"Let the big brother just try it out. He wants to buy it too."
"Sister Miaomiao, are you still planning to borrow books? Do you want me to pick out two more for you?"
"No need, let's talk about it later. The midterm exam is coming soon, so let's review our lessons first." Student Ding Miaomiao waved her hand and said.
"Okay, Sister Miaomiao, come and get the book whenever you want to read it. Brother, you should also learn from Sister Miaomiao. Don't forget the agreement we made!" After Du Chen and Ding Miaomiao finished speaking, they did not forget to stimulate their brother.
The family has been busy with the store recently, and Du Chen has noticed that his brother Du Bin has been a little slack.
"Okay, okay, I got it." Du Bin also knew that he had been concentrating on studying in his own store recently and had not been diligent enough, but after hearing what Du Chen said, Du Bin also knew that he had to work hard recently because the midterm exam was coming soon.
In the afternoon, the young man delivered the deposit as agreed, and agreed to pick up the goods at noon tomorrow. Du Chen also told his parents to continue to lower the price when purchasing goods tomorrow. The price of a Walkman would be 55 yuan, and it would come with headphones. As for cassettes, a tape would only cost about two yuan.
"How many Walkmans do you want?" asked Comrade Lao Du.
"Ten or fifteen machines will be fine, and about twenty or thirty-three tapes will be enough." Du Chen felt that it would take some time to sell these goods.
"Okay, your mother and I will go to the city early tomorrow morning, and you and your brother will stay in the store to look after it."
Early on Sunday morning, the two brothers were woken up by their parents.
"After you finish washing up, go to the store by yourselves. Your mother and I haven't made breakfast yet, so go to the store and have some biscuits. We'll leave now. You and your brother have to study even when you go to the store, okay?" Comrade Lao Du settled Du Bin.
"Okay Dad, I got it."
Comrade Lao Du hurriedly drove to the city with his wife, as they wanted to go and come back early. After washing up, the two brothers went straight to the store.
"Brother, you go study in the room, I'll watch over you here." Du Chen turned on the recorder, took a comic book from the bookstore, sat at the counter and said to Du Bin.
"Okay, then I'll go to the room to do the exercises. Call me if you need anything." After saying that, Du Bin took the exercises in his hand and went into the lounge.
Du Chen listened to music while flipping through the pages of Old Master Q. Although his eyes were fixed on the comic book, his mind was occupied with the serialized stories. He'd been busy with shop work these past few days, and hadn't written a story in over a week.
After a week, the store was almost in order, and the rest was just a matter of following the routine. So when Du Chen had nothing to do these days, he was thinking about his own serial stories.
Although the magazine didn't require monthly serialization, Du Chen still didn't want to stop and tried to update monthly. If later online writers knew about this, they would be envious.
"Little boy, please bring me two pencils and two exercise books."
As the sun rose higher, parents began to come into the store to buy things. Most of them heard the singing coming from the store and took a look out of curiosity, only to see the promotions posted on the wall.
Money is more valuable nowadays. When people see a promotion, they more or less contribute to the minimum spending. Some will even plan to spend with two people. Du Chen doesn't care. As long as you spend enough money, I will give you rebates or gifts. You can decide how to divide it.
Although the discounts are not big and the gifts are not valuable, there are still many adults passing by who come to spend money. Although it is not as much as on ordinary weekdays, the income is still considerable.
In this way, Du Bin spent the whole morning doing exercises in the lounge, and Du Chen was selling goods outside, until Comrade Lao Du parked the unit's double-row seat in front of the store.
"Mom and Dad, you're back. Is everything going well?" Du Chen saw his parents coming back and hurried out to greet them and asked.
"It went smoothly. It's just that there were too many people at the small commodity store, which delayed us for a while. Otherwise, we would have returned earlier. Were there many people in the morning?" Du Chen's mother said to Du Chen while moving the stationery on the car.
"It's okay. There aren't as many people as usual, but there are still quite a few people coming here for the discounts, and there are also many people renting books." Du Chen also carried lighter things into the house.
"Where is your brother? Why can't I see him?" Comrade Lao Du asked, holding a stack of homework books in one hand.
"I was doing my homework in the room, so I guess I didn't hear it."
A few people went into the house to put down their things, and when they opened the door of the lounge, they woke up Du Bin who was doing homework.
"Mom and Dad, are you all back? What time is it?" Du Bin asked in surprise.
"It's almost half past eleven. Let's move things together and then eat. Your mom and I packed lunch."
Du Bin quickly put down the pen in his hand and went out to move things. The family moved several times and finally moved all the goods in the car into the store.
"You guys go pack up first. I'm going to return the car to work and will be back soon."
Comrade Lao Du didn't have time to pack up and hurriedly drove back to the company to return the car. After all, he was using the company car for personal purposes, and it was Sunday. It would not be good if his colleagues saw it parked in front of his own store.
Du Bin and his mother packed up stationery, homework books, snacks and the like, while Du Chen sorted the newly arrived books into categories and put them in a book so that they would be easier to find when renting them later.
