## Chapter 25: She Shines

When Ningning saw the clothes on her bedside table, she was very happy because it was the style she liked.

She happily put on the clothes, stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself again and again.

It was so beautiful!

But she couldn’t speak, she could only express her joy on her face.

When Ningning came out of the room, both father and son were surprised, because Ningning looked like a mini version of Lin Yangyang.

They were wearing mother-daughter outfits, Ningning was wearing black pants, a white striped shirt, and the same vest.

Ningning looked like her mother, her eyebrows and eyes were the same as Lin Yangyang’s, both beautiful girls. The two of them standing together were really eye-catching.

After Lin Yangyang tied Ningning’s braids, she looked up at the father and son and chuckled, “What, are you both stunned seeing two beautiful girls, big and small, standing in front of you?”

The father and son exchanged awkward glances and simultaneously made way for them.

“Let’s go, it’s about to start.”

As soon as Lu Shiyuan finished speaking, Lu Jia’an also made a gesture of invitation.

Lin Yangyang smiled, took Ningning’s hand, and walked out of the house together.

The folk customs of this era were very simple, and cloth tickets were distributed uniformly, and the cloth exchanged back was mostly ordinary fabric with plain colors.

The clothes she was wearing were also made of ordinary fabric, yet she wore them with a fashionable flair.

Upon arriving at Laisheng Restaurant, Lin Yangyang became the center of attention as soon as she entered.

Everyone’s eyes fell on her, with envy, jealousy, and amazement.

“Third Brother, Sister-in-law, you’re here.” Tian Wenjun put down his cup, came to Lu Shiyuan’s side, glanced at Lin Yangyang a few more times, and smiled, “Sister-in-law, how are you.”

Lin Yangyang smiled and nodded, “Brother Wenjun, how are you.”

“Come on, have a seat, Jia’an, Ningning, come, come, come, sit down, Uncle will give you some peanuts to eat.”

After saying that, Tian Wenjun quickly greeted the two children to sit down, then pulled a chair for Lin Yangyang, “Sister-in-law, have a seat…”

“Do you need to serve me?” Seeing Tian Wenjun so attentive to his wife, Lu Shiyuan glared at Tian Wenjun unhappily, and deliberately pushed him aside, moving the chair for Lin Yangyang himself.

Lin Yangyang couldn’t help but chuckle at him, it seemed that she had chosen the right outfit, otherwise how could she have seen this steel straight man, this big male lead, showing a jealous side.

“Wow, Sister-in-law, your clothes are so beautiful.” Du Meichun, who was sitting across from her, was amazed by Lin Yangyang’s clothes.

She was not only impressed by Lin Yangyang’s beauty, but also by the sewing method of the clothes she was wearing!

On the edge of Lin Yangyang’s burgundy vest, there was a lotus flower embroidered, although it was just a small lotus flower, it was sewn so vividly that at first glance, it looked like a real lotus flower was pasted on top.

“Sister-in-law…” Du Meichun smiled, pushed Tian Wenjun aside, and sat directly beside Lin Yangyang, “This lotus flower is really beautiful.”

Du Meichun wanted to take a closer look, so she leaned in.

All the sisters-in-law present knew how to sew, and several of them relied on sewing to supplement their families. Hearing Du Meichun’s words, they all looked up, their gazes falling on the little lotus flower on the vest.

Lin Yangyang had thought that her clothes would attract attention today, but she didn’t expect the focus to be on a small lotus flower.

“I used the chain stitch method.” Lin Yangyang smiled at Du Meichun.

Although Liao Fangyi was also attracted to the small lotus flower, she could never say a good word to Lin Yangyang.

“What chain stitch method? I’ve never heard of it.”

Zhu Meixi, who was beside her, snorted, “Sister-in-law Liao is really ignorant, even I’ve heard of the chain stitch, aren’t you from the city, how come you haven’t heard of it?”

Liao Fangyi glared at Zhu Meixi, sneered, “I haven’t heard of it, so I haven’t heard of it, is it strange? I don’t rely on sewing to make a living, how would I know so much.”

As she spoke, Liao Fangyi glanced over, she didn’t know if she was looking at Du Meichun or Lin Yangyang.

Lin Yangyang didn’t pay attention to her words, instead, she sat in her chair and patiently explained the embroidery method of the lotus flower to Du Meichun.

Du Meichun only had one child, logically, her husband’s allowance was enough to support a family of three, but unfortunately, both of their parents were chronically ill in their hometown, since they hadn’t been able to take care of them, they had to send back a certain amount of allowance every month.

So in fact, their family’s life was not very good, Du Meichun’s child was the same age as Jia’an and Ningning, and when the children were at kindergarten, she would stay at home sewing and mending, exchanging some things to supplement their household income.

Du Meichun was a practical person, the kind who said less and did more, Lin Yangyang felt that it would be easier to become good friends with someone like this.

At least she wouldn’t stab you in the back, right?

Seeing Lin Yangyang chatting so intently with Du Meichun, several other military wives also gathered around.

Even if they hadn’t heard of the chain stitch method, and even if they didn’t rely on sewing to supplement their families, it wouldn’t hurt to learn, next time they needed to mend clothes for their families, they could also sew some patterns?

Besides Du Chunmei, the sisters-in-law who came over to ask questions one after another, Lin Yangyang patiently explained to everyone, she even picked up the needle and thread that one of the military wives was carrying, and demonstrated the embroidery method for everyone on the spot.

The original thank-you banquet, several soldiers, including Lu Shiyuan, were all squeezed to the other side, staring at the lively embroidery scene with wide eyes.

“Regiment Commander, Sister-in-law’s skills are really amazing.” Zhang Yi, who was standing beside Lu Shiyuan, looked down at the doll Lin Yangyang had given back to him before entering, and was very excited.

The doll was still the same old doll, but now it was much stronger! As long as he washed it clean, this doll could be preserved for twenty years!

Lu Shiyuan glanced at Zhang Yi, it was this guy who made him sleep in the living room last night.

“Sister-in-law is not only beautiful, but her embroidery and sewing skills are so skilled, and she’s so warm to people. Regiment Commander, I really envy you.”

As soon as Zhao Tianlei finished speaking, many others chimed in.

Hearing so many people praising his woman, Lu Shiyuan should be happy… if she only had him in her heart, if she hadn’t gone to cause a scene at He Chongran and Wan Baoyan’s engagement party a few days ago.

Lu Shiyuan didn’t know why he was thinking about these things at this time, but anyway, it was affecting his mood.

Later, the waiter started serving the dishes, and the military wives returned to their seats, but they were still talking to Lin Yangyang, even if they were separated by several seats or at the next table.

In a few short minutes, they had all benefited greatly, learning this embroidery method, even if they needed to patch clothes in the future, they could patch them with patterns.
