Chapter 29

Seeing that his elder brother didn’t say anything for a long time, Lu Zihang bravely stepped forward.

She hugged her eldest brother’s arm and said coquettishly, “Brother, please forgive me. I promise that I will not call her aunt without your permission in the future, okay?”

Lu Zizhou looked at him with distrust. As long as the woman made something delicious, he would definitely forget what she said today.

He doesn’t believe it! He’s just a little traitor!

Seeing this, Lu Zihang seemed to have made up his mind. He clenched his hands into fists and promised through gritted teeth: “Even if she makes more delicious food, I will not be bribed.”

“At most…At most, I will eat less in the future.”

“Really?” Lu Zizhou snorted, a faint light flashing in his eyes.

Seeing that he was finally willing to pay attention to him, Lu Zihang nodded and agreed: “Really, really, then big brother can’t be angry with me, I don’t even want the delicious food.”

Thinking about it this way, he felt a little bit at a disadvantage.

However, compared to delicious food, his elder brother is the most important.

Although, when he thought of those meat buns, braised pork, scrambled eggs… No, he couldn’t think about them anymore. His little heart ached at the thought that he couldn’t eat these anymore.

Seeing his distressed expression, Lu Zizhou curled his lips slightly.

Then the two of them walked towards the school together.

……..

After Lin Tingwan finished cleaning the house, she remembered that the schoolbags of her two children were broken in the morning.

She looked at the little girl sitting on the bed eating candy and asked with a smile: “Xinxin, do you want to go out for a walk with your aunt?”

“Where are you going?” The little girl tilted her head, her eyes full of confusion and innocence.

“Brother’s schoolbag is broken. Let’s go buy him a schoolbag and buy a little skirt for our Xinxin at the same time!” Lin Tingwan reached out and scratched her little nose. Every time he looked at the little girl, he felt that her voice became sweeter.

If other children heard about shopping, they would definitely be very happy and would try their best to go.

But the little girl’s first reaction was, “Aunt, but Xinxin has no money.”

After hearing this, Lin Tingwan suddenly felt uncomfortable. She didn’t know what rumors these three children had heard. How could they be so sensible?

Then she picked up the little girl and said with a smile: “Auntie has money, let’s go to the department store today to buy a skirt for Xinxin and dress her up beautifully!”

“Thank you, aunt~” The little girl hugged Lin Tingwan’s neck, pouted her lips and kissed Jian Nian on the face.

Then she promised in a baby voice: “Xinxin will also buy beautiful dresses for auntie to wear in the future!”

“Wow, how can Xinxin be so cute!” Regardless of whether this sentence is true or not, Lin Tingwan feels warm in her heart when she hears it, and she is so moved.

The two of them walked out of the family compound while talking and laughing, without noticing that there was a figure behind them watching them for a long time.

………

After arriving at the department store, Lin Tingwan took Xinxin directly to the third floor where clothes were sold.

At that time, people usually bought their own fabrics and made them at home, and rarely bought ready-made clothes because they were more expensive.

Not to mention children’s clothes, which are usually made by picking up leftover fabrics from family members and mending them to make new clothes.

Therefore, there are very few people coming to the third floor, and there are not many types of clothes for sale.

When she led Xinxin in, the salesperson came up to them with a smile, “Comrade, are you buying clothes for the little girl?”

Afterwards, he looked at Xinxin and praised her very kindly: “This little girl is really pretty. She will definitely be a great beauty like your mother when she grows up.”

The little girl rarely saw people in the military compound. She timidly held Lin Tingwan’s hand and hid behind her.

Seeing this, Lin Tingwan picked up the child and said gently, “Auntie praised our Xinxin for being beautiful. Xinxin, shouldn’t she say thank you?”

The little girl hugged her neck, blinked at the salesperson, smiled sweetly and thanked her, “Thank you, Auntie.”

“So cute.” It was obvious that the salesperson also liked children, and that smile that came from the heart could not deceive anyone.

Therefore, Lin Tingwan started to choose clothes for Xinxin here.

She took a quick glance and saw a pink dress with small floral embroidery, puff sleeves and a white doll collar. She fell in love with it at first sight.

Seeing her gaze, the salesperson took the dress down neatly.

“Comrade, you have a really good taste. This is our new arrival. Your little girl will definitely look good in it.”

Lin Tingwan took the clothes and measured them against the little girl’s body. It was indeed the size that the little girl could wear.

Then I saw the little girl’s eyes were also fixed on the clothes, and she obviously liked them very much.

She didn’t even ask the price, she just waved her hand and said, “Help me pack it up.”

It was the first time that the salesperson had met such a nice customer, and the smile on his face became even brighter. “Okay, I’ll pack it for you right away. See if there’s anything else you need to buy.”

Lin Tingwan thought that the clothes of the children at home had turned white after being washed, especially Lu Zizhou and Lu Zihang’s pants which were a little small, so she started looking again.

Because the salesperson spoke a few words to the little girl, and with Lin Tingwan here, the little girl was not as scared as when she first came in.

Following Lin Tingwan, I was looking at the clothes hanging on the wall. Just as I was about to reach out and touch them, I heard a shrill sound.

“Whose child is this who has no mother to take care of him? His hands are so dirty that he has ruined all his clothes. Do you still want others to buy them for him?!”

The sudden shout startled the little girl. Her eyes turned red and she pouted in grievance, tears instantly welling up in her eyes.

Lin Tingwan looked back and saw a woman in brightly dressed leading a little girl in. The little girl’s eyes were red, which made Lin Tingwan feel heartbroken.

He immediately put down the clothes in his hands, walked over and picked up the little girl.

The little girl who was held by Lin Tingwan suddenly felt safe. She started crying and hugged Lin Tingwan’s neck tightly.

She felt very upset at the time, and she gently coaxed the little girl and said softly: “Xinxin, don’t cry. Auntie will buy you whatever clothes you like. It hurts to hear Xinxin crying.”

Although she had only been with the little girl for a few days, she had always been very well-behaved and smiling all day long. She had never felt so aggrieved.

Then she raised her eyes to look at the woman, with a cold light in her eyes, and said sternly: “How can you see that my child is dirty?”
