After Breaking Off the Engagement, a Cold Military Officer Spoils Me Endlessly

C51 - C53

What caught my eye was a beautiful figure, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, skin as white as snow, and indescribably beautiful, as if she had walked out of a painting, extraordinary and elegant.
　　
　　At this moment, her eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and her sparkling eyes were as bright as stars, shining with the light of wisdom.
　　
　　Those eyes made Lu Qingyun feel a little familiar, very similar to Ling Yao in his memory. But this is impossible, in just a few months, Ling Yao could not have changed so much.
　　
　　Withdrawing his gaze lightly, Lu Qingyun walked towards the gift area.
　　
　　Ling Yao felt that someone was looking at her, turned his head and looked, only to see a tall back, disappearing around the corner.
　　
　　Wu Xin came out of the fitting room and saw Ling Yao staring in a daze in one direction, and walked to her side, "Ling Yao, what are you looking at?"
　　
　　"Nothing, I'll go change my clothes." Ling Yao walked towards the fitting room.
　　
　　After buying clothes, Ling Yao and Wu Xin bought shoes and bags.
　　
　　Finally, they came to the gift area, but after walking around the gift area for several times, they still couldn't find a suitable gift.
　　
　　"Gifts for boys are so difficult to give. I'm almost dizzy." Wu Xin complained, her feet hurt so much that she could hardly walk. "How about I just give him a belt? It's simple and practical."
　　
　　"Okay." Ling Yao nodded in agreement. Wu Xin is Wu Ziyu's cousin, so she can give him anything, but she can't. She and Wu Ziyu are just ordinary friends, and it's not appropriate to give him something close to her body.
　　
　　"Then it's a happy decision."
　　
　　After buying the belt, Wu Xin asked the salesperson to pack the belt into a gift box. "Ling Yao, have you decided what to buy?"
　　
　　Ling Yao shook her head. "Anyway, there are still two days. I'll think about it."
　　
　　After separating from Wu Xin, Ling Yao walked towards home. Wuque Lane is not far from here, and it only takes 20 minutes to walk there.
　　
　　Just as she walked to the door of her house, she heard voices in the yard. She smiled slightly and walked in.
　　
　　In the yard, Ling Xuemei was chatting with Li Ling's mother Chen Xiaojuan.
　　
　　After Li Ling's mother was discharged from the hospital, her mother prescribed a medicine for her. Now Li Ling's mother is fully recovered.
　　
　　Her mother and Li Ling's mother often get together to chat, and they became friends.
　　
　　She and Li Ling have a good relationship, and the two families often visit each other.
　　
　　Seeing that her family and Li Ling's family are so close, the neighbors often advise them to stay away from Li Ling's family, but she and her mother don't care about this. The one who made the mistake was Li Ling's father, not them. They should not be isolated and looked down upon because of prejudice.
　　
　　"Yaoyao is back." Seeing Ling Yao coming back, Ling Xuemei showed a gentle smile on her face.
　　
　　Chen Xiaojuan also smiled and looked at Ling Yao.
　　
　　"Mom! Aunt Chen!" Ling Yao walked in front of the two and handed a bag to Ling Xuemei, "Mom, I bought some cakes, you and Aunt Chen try them." These cakes were bought at "Yuan Ji" when she came back. Wu Xin said that Yuan Ji's cakes were very good, so she bought some.
　　
　　Ling Xuemei took the box and opened it. A sweet fragrance overflowed. She handed the box to Chen Xiaojuan, "Xiaojuan, try it."
　　
　　"No, no, I don't want to eat it." Chen Xiaojuan waved her hand embarrassedly. Xuemei and Ling Yao have helped her family a lot since they moved in. She didn't know how to repay this kindness. How could she still eat their food?

"Don't be so polite to me, take a piece and try it."
　　
　　"Thank you!" Chen Xiaojuan reached out and took the smallest piece of cake, lowering her head to hide the tears in her eyes. Since her husband was locked up, the neighbors around her have been hiding away from their family, as if they were all murderers. Xuemei and Lingyao are the only ones who bring warmth to their family. They are like a beam of light in the darkness, illuminating their hearts.
　　
　　Chen Xiaojuan sniffed her slightly sour nose, "Yaoyao, do you have any clothes to be altered? I can help you." She used to be a tailor, but after her husband committed a crime, she lost everything in the house. Now, apart from the house, she only has a broken sewing machine.
　　
　　"Okay, I happen to have several clothes that are too big." Lingyao was fat before, and those clothes can't be worn now. She plans to change those clothes into pajamas.
　　
　　"Then give it to me, and I'll go back and help you modify it."
　　
　　"Okay."
　　
　　Ling Yao went into the room, took out her old clothes, and then drew a few pictures for Chen Xiaojuan, "Aunt Chen, just help me modify it like this." Of course, she would not let the other party modify it for her for free. After the clothes were modified, she would pay the other party for the labor fee.
　　
　　In addition, she wanted to see Chen Xiaojuan's craftsmanship. If her craftsmanship was good, she would like to cooperate with her. She now has sufficient funds in her hands. She doesn't want to put all the money in the bank. Now is the time for reform and rapid economic development. In the future, she wants to make an investment in various industries.
　　
　　Medicine, clothing, cosmetics, real estate, and education are among the industries with the best development in the next few decades. If she has enough funds, she wants to get involved in all of them.
　　
　　As for the Internet, it will take more than ten years to develop, so she will not consider it for the time being.
　　
　　Chen Xiaojuan took the picture, looked at it carefully, and nodded with a smile, "I'll give it to you after I modify it." She has been learning tailoring from her master since she was ten years old, and she is very confident in her craftsmanship.
　　
　　"Then I'll trouble Aunt Chen."
　　
　　"What's the trouble? You let me help you make your clothes, you think highly of me." Chen Xiaojuan's eyes flashed with helplessness and bitterness. Now that she is in good health, she originally wanted to take some work to supplement the family income, but after asking several people, none of them were willing to give her clothes to make changes. They would rather go a little further to the tailor shop across the street to make changes.
　　
　　"It's getting late, I have to go back." Chen Xiaojuan folded the clothes, picked up the clothes and said goodbye to Ling Yao and Ling Xuemei.
　　
　　"Xiaojuan, take these cakes back for the children." Ling Xuemei stood up and stuffed the cakes into Chen Xiaojuan's arms.
　　
　　"I can't have them, don't give them to me, I really can't have them." Chen Xiaojuan hurriedly pushed the cakes back. Such expensive cakes, it was a luxury for her to eat one piece, how could she take a whole box back.
　　
　　"Just take it, Yaoyao and I can't finish it, don't push it to me, if the cakes are spilled, they will not taste good." Ling Xuemei stuffed the cakes into Chen Xiaojuan's arms.
　　
　　"Xuemei, you..." Chen Xiaojuan was so moved that she could hardly speak. How could there be such a good person in the world who not only did not despise them, but also treated them so well.
　　
　　"Okay, okay, go back quickly, the children must be hungry."
　　
　　After seeing Chen Xiaojuan off, Ling Xuemei walked into the kitchen and started to get busy. She bought a crucian carp and mushrooms today, and planned to make a crucian carp and mushroom soup for Yaoyao.
