When people have a happy occasion, their daughter has achievements, her illness is also good, play is also full of energy.

In the two days they were in the provincial capital, other than Cao Xiaolan who brought two sets of down jacket for Mother Cao and two sets for her sister, the rest of the food she didn't buy much.

After all, the things in the provincial capital were better than their own, while those in Shanghai were even better.

However, Mother Cao did not think so. Every time she went shopping, she would show it to her little daughter. She bought some socks and gloves from her underwear and had to buy two big boxes of things for Cao Xiaoxia to bring.

Mother Cao looked at the item in front of her and felt extremely embarrassed. "Why did you only buy so much? Why didn't you stop it? How much did you spend?"

His heart ached.

All he wanted to do was to buy things for his youngest daughter. When he bought them, he really didn't think they would be much. However, after accumulating all these three days, there were actually two boxes in total.

"It's fine, Mom. It's not convenient for Dawn to buy things in the army. We've already prepared everything for her. Didn't she spend a lot herself?" It's the same. "

Mother Cao comforted her: "Besides, your daughter is making a lot of money now so it doesn't matter if you buy some things for her. Mom, you will know when you go back. We won't have to live the way we used to."

"That still won't do. Xiao Lian, it's so hard to earn money. We can't waste it just because we have money."

"Fine, fine, fine. I'll listen to you." Even though she said that, Cao Xiaolan obviously didn't take it to heart.

Mother Cao was a little depressed. She had been asking about Cao Xiaolian's situation for the past few days, so she knew a lot about this.

"Xiao Lian, you are still young right now. Try to learn from others. Watch more. Children in our village must be more reliable. Step by step, you must succeed."

During the time that Mother Cao was hospitalized in the provincial capital, she had heard quite a few strange stories. However, most of them were raised by her family. Seeing Cao Xiaolian spending money everywhere, she was afraid that she would get into the habit of bullying others in the future.

"Mom!" Cao Xiaoling put down the thing in her hand and smiled helplessly, "Do you really not understand what kind of person I am? Alright, you should rest first. The journey from the provincial capital to Shanghai is fast. "

"Then I won't rest, and I won't be able to sleep either." Mother Cao was worried about her daughter again. "I wonder what she looks like now. I haven't seen her for more than half a year. She's not skinny at all."

As he said this, he secretly wiped his tears away as he thought of his youngest daughter leaving home to join the army at such a young age. Although it was a glorious matter, he still couldn't bear to part with her.

"Oh my mother!" Cao Xiaolian stood up and sat on the bed of the train. She held her mother in her arms, rubbed her chin on her shoulder and said coquettishly, "I think Xiao Xia might have gotten fat there."

Mom, don't think too much. Morning Glory sent me a letter saying that she's doing well in the military. She eats well and sleeps well every day.

Mother Cao understood everything, but she couldn't bear to part with her child. Seeing that her daughter had been comforting her, she was afraid that she would be worried, so she nodded, "Alright, Mother looks forward to the sunset."

"Of course, look at who's sister she is."

From the provincial capital to Shanghai, there were only five hours. In the end, Mother Cao did not get any rest and felt sorry for her. She also bought a sleeper bed, and in the time it took for her to speak, she arrived at the platform.

Cao Xiaolian and her mother pressed their faces against the glass as the train moved slowly. They were looking at their younger sister when a familiar military green light entered their eyes. Cao Xiaolan shouted in excitement, "Xia, Xia Xia Xia!"

Mother Cao quickly asked, "Where are you?"

"Standing on the platform. The one dressed in green." Cao Xiaolian pointed out to her mother, "Two braids, haha."

Only then did Mother Cao see it. Her eyes immediately turned red, "Xia Xia, mother is here."

Cao Xiaoxia, who was standing below, also saw her mother and sister. She ran over with a smile and waved, "Mom, Sis!"

Once the car came to a stop, Cao Xiaoxia quickly got on the bus and started crying while hugging her mother, "Mom, how are you feeling?"

"Mom's fine. She's fine. You don't have to worry about that." Old Cao's mother was also in tears. "What about you? Mom, take a look."

Cao Xiaoxia quickly regained her balance and spun around, "Mom, have I grown taller?"

"Higher, thinner." Mother Cao touched her daughter's arm. "Look at the bones, we have to eat more in the future."

"I'm dancing now, so I can't be too fat." Cao Xiaoxia blinked and said, "Sis, you have put on a lot of weight."

"That's right. I've never heard of that phrase, 'a generous heart and a fat body'."

Mother Cao snappily patted her daughter. "What are you so fat for? Your sister worries so much that she looks exhausted."

In her mother's eyes, she always felt that her child's heart ached over losing even a little bit of flesh.

"Alright, Skinny, hurry and pick up your things. If we don't get out of the car soon, the train attendant will come to chase us down."

The three of them chatted and laughed as Cao Xiaoxia led the way to the bus. They sat on the bus for more than an hour before they finally reached the military base.

"Mom, I'm rather free these few days, so I can accompany you on a tour around."

"No need, no need. Mom is just here to see you. I can't ask for leave to delay my studies."

"I'm fine." Cao Xiaoxia mischievously hugged her mother's arm. "Our team went to the countryside to perform for the Spring Festival. Without me, I will stay. I've been in Shanghai for so long, I haven't even gone out to take a look."

"Why didn't I see you?" Mother Cao was anxious. "Did you not perform well that made you stay?"

"Mom!" Cao Xiaolian laughed. "Xia Xia won a prize in the competition some time ago. Their army said that they wanted to focus on training her. They will send her to university in the future."

"AHH!" Old Cao's mother was stunned when she heard this news, "What? Are there people in the army who can go to university?"

"Of course I can, it's just that now is not the time, I'm currently lacking in too many classes." Cao Xiaoxia said with a smile, "Besides, my grades in my culture class are not very good. My Guild Leader told me to take the time to do my performance first and to study well so that I could prepare for next year's exam."

"What are you going to take next year's exam for?" In Cao Ma's impression, that girl had to go all the way to junior high school before she could get into it.

"There's a secondary school. I'll go there first, and then after I graduate for three years, I'll be able to go to university."

Hearing this, Cao Zhi Lan was very happy. She was so excited that she started crying again. After a few sentences, Cao Xiaoluo suggested that they should rest early and go out for a stroll tomorrow before she gave up.

Although Mother Cao had recovered, she was still weak. Plus, she was playing around in the car and fell asleep soon after. Cao Xiaoxia helped her sister pack her things, while she whispered, "Sis, I think mother's complexion is still not good right now."

"This needs to be nurtured slowly." Cao Xiaoliu was worried at first, but after she asked the doctor carefully, she felt a lot more relieved, "The doctor said that our mother's illness is cured, but her body will not recover for a while. I plan to tell her to take good care of herself when we get back. Don't worry, the hotter we get, the better it will be."

Cao Xiaoxia knew from the phone that her sister's business was doing very well. She felt relieved with the money and said, "Sis, it's all thanks to you. Thank you."

"The family even said that." Cao Xiaoling pretended to be angry. "You are my own sister, but you are my own mother. What can I do about it?"

"I'm so happy to be your little sister."

"Yo, I haven't learned anything else in the army. Right now, your mouth is really sweet." Cao Xiaoling smiled and took out a piece of clothing. "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have brought you so many things. How many thanks would you have given later?"

Cao Xiaoxia was still at the age where she loved beauty. When she heard that there was a gift, her eyes immediately lit up. "What? Let me have a look."

"Then say a few words of thanks, I'll listen."

Seeing that her sister was purposely teasing her, Cao Xiaoxia rolled her eyes, "Just then, I said, if you miss it, then it's gone. Quickly hand it over to me."

Then she went to snatch it. Cao Xiaolian was willing to let it go, so she immediately snatched it away.

"Wow!" Cao Xiaoxia opened it and was extremely excited, "It's so beautiful!"

"This year's new model!" Cao Xiaolian laughed, "This is the only one. I made it for you."

They were all specially made, and she did her own aesthetic, in other words, for the first time in her life, instead of poking around with other brands.

"I'll go change."

After putting it on, Cao Xiaoxia walked around in a circle in front of her sister, "Sis, is it nice to watch?"

Taking advantage of the young girl's shyness, Cao Xiaoling was very satisfied. "It's nice. Sis has brought you two down, as well as a down waistcoat. When you have nothing better to do, you will leave the ship."

"Yes, sister is still the best." Cao Xiaoxia, who had gained some benefits, felt as if her mouth had been smeared with honey. "And it's especially warm."

She started to mutter again, "Shanghai is so cold, I should have worn this kind of clothes a long time ago. It's too warm to take it off, so I might as well use this as a quilt."

Cao Xiaolian was still packing her things when she heard this, "Nonsense, I'll definitely catch cold if I sleep in my clothes."

"Sis, why don't you produce some of this quilt?" Cao Xiaoxia said seriously, "This is light, comfortable and warm. You have to know that the cotton blanket is extremely heavy if you want to warm it. It's too heavy."

This was a reminder to Cao Xiaolian.

In the beginning, she also thought of producing a duvet, but this was different from a duvet. Because of the increased cost, it would definitely be expensive.

Therefore, she gave up. But now that Cao Xiaoxia had mentioned it, she had the same thought.

However, she still hadn't decided. She didn't want to say anything useless in advance, so she packed up the last item: "Okay, if I can produce it, the first thing I will do is send you two beds so that you won't be cold."

"Then hurry up. I heard the coldest thing is still next month." Cao Xiaoxia thought to herself, "The winter of every year is really sad."

Seeing that she was cowering like a little mouse, Cao Xiaoling snickered. "I'll go shopping tomorrow and buy you an electric blanket first."

He slept very well.

Mother Cao originally wanted to have a bite to eat for breakfast. However, since they had come to Shanghai, the two sisters said that they would go out to eat.

Cao Xiaoxia had not gone out to eat in the past few months. Her mother looked at her daughter with a hungry expression and agreed.

After breakfast, they started to go shopping on Nanjing Road.

Nanjing Road was now very prosperous. There were many shopping malls. Since Cao Xiaolan made clothes, she developed a hobby: she would shop around for clothes, and also check out other people's fabrics and designs.

Mother Cao was dazzled by the sight. However, when she accidentally looked at the price tag, she was shocked. "Good boy, why is it so expensive?!"

A single piece of clothing was worth more than a thousand yuan, it was comparable to a year's worth of chewing.

"Mom." Cao Xiaoxia whispered, "These are the best shopping malls in Shanghai. The things inside are naturally expensive too. It's fine. We won't buy them. We'll just accompany sister to have a look."
