Chapter 51 Thoughts

What caught his eye was a beautiful figure, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, skin as white as snow, and incomparably 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 was impossible, in just a few months, Ling Yao could not have changed so much.

Lu Qingyun withdrew his gaze lightly and walked towards the gift area.

Ling Yao felt that someone was looking at her, turned her 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 at a certain direction in a daze. She walked to her side and said, "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 rounds, 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, so 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, "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.

As soon as she walked to the door of her house, she heard voices talking 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 her some medicine for conditioning. Now Li Ling's mother is in good health.

Her mother and Li Ling's mother often get together to chat, and they became friends.

She also has a good relationship with Li Ling, and the two families often visit each other.

Seeing that their 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 person 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 can try them." She bought these cakes 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 Lingyao have helped their family so much since they moved in. She didn't know how to repay them and how she could still eat their food.

"You don't have to 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 imprisoned, the neighbors around them have been hiding far away from them, as if they were 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 sour nose, "Yaoyao, do you need any clothes altered? I can help you." She used to be a tailor, but after her husband got into trouble, she sold all the things in the house. Now, besides the house, she only has a shabby sewing machine. "

Okay, I happen to have a few clothes that are too big." Ling Yao was fat before, and those clothes are no longer wearable. She plans to change them into pajamas.

"Then give them to me, and I'll help you alter them when I go back."

"Okay."

Ling Yao went into the house, took out her old clothes, and then drew a few pictures for Chen Xiaojuan, "Auntie Chen, just help me alter them like this." Of course, she would not let the other party alter her clothes for nothing. After the clothes were altered, she would pay the other party for the labor fee.

Also, she wanted to see Chen Xiaojuan's craftsmanship. If her craftsmanship was good, she wanted to cooperate with her. She had enough money now, and she didn't want to put all the money in the bank. Now was the time for rapid economic development after the reform, and she wanted to invest in all walks of life in the future.

Medicine, clothing, cosmetics, real estate, and education are among the industries that will develop best in the next few decades. If she had enough money, she would get involved.

As for the Internet, it would take more than ten years to develop, so she would not consider it for the time being.

Chen Xiaojuan took the drawing, looked at it carefully, and nodded with a smile, "I'll give it to you after I've modified it." She had been learning tailoring from her master since she was ten years old, and she was very confident in her craftsmanship.

"Then I'll trouble Aunt Chen."

"What's the problem? You think highly of me by letting me do your tailoring." Chen Xiaojuan's eyes flashed with helplessness and bitterness. Now that she is well, she originally wanted to take on some work to supplement the family income, but after asking several people, they were unwilling to give her clothes to be altered. They would rather go a little further and go to the tailor shop across the street to have them altered.

"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 and give them to the children." Ling Xuemei stood up and stuffed the cakes into Chen Xiaojuan's hands.

"I can't have it, don't give it to me, I really can't have it." Chen Xiaojuan quickly pushed the cakes back. Such expensive pastries, it was already a luxury for her to eat one piece, how could she take the whole box back.

"Just take it, Yaoyao and I can't finish it, don't push it to me, it won't taste good if the pastries are scattered." Ling Xuemei stuffed the pastries 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, not only did she 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.
