To please others? It's better to please yourself.

The drizzle continued until late into the night.

The next morning, Zhou Fubao and Zhao Mingming rolled up their trousers, waded through the water, and went out to queue up to buy skirts. Many women couldn't resist their temptation and followed them out in twos and threes.

In no time, one-fifth of the dormitory floor was empty. Don't think it's an exaggeration. These days, anyone wearing a Dacron shirt will definitely be the center of attention.

She doesn't need makeup or dressing up; she's the most beautiful girl!

Any woman with a slightly better financial situation would want to own a beautiful "Dacron" dress.

Dacron only appeared in our country in the 1960s. Moreover, the production was very limited, and most of it was sold overseas to earn foreign exchange, so many people simply couldn't buy it.

It is said that a stampede occurred at a clothing store in Shanghai after a batch of Dacron shirts arrived. The incident resulted in one death and six injuries.

It's clear that Dacron had a fatal attraction for people back then!

……

Xu Jing'an wasn't particularly fond of Dacron. At that moment, she was at the post office talking on the phone with Shen He.

Shen He: "Wife, I just received a telegram from the Construction Department yesterday."

Xu Jing'an raised an eyebrow: "What's the matter?" These days, if it's not urgent, nobody sends a telegram. The main problem is the price!

Shen He: "They said he got married, and his fiancée's name is Zhao Xiaofang." Although he didn't understand why his brother-in-law specifically wrote down his fiancée's name, it didn't stop him from communicating with his wife!

Xu Jing'an was indeed somewhat surprised after hearing this. She never imagined that after so many years, the two of them would actually get together!

"Okay, I got it. Is there anything else?"

"Honey, should we send Jianshe something?" After all, they had met and interacted with each other, and it wouldn't feel right to remain silent.

Xu Jing'an refused decisively: "No need! My family doesn't do that! Don't worry about it, I'll just send a letter."

"The ancients said, 'A letter from home is worth a thousand pieces of gold.' What we siblings value is emotional connection, not material things."

If you can put in the effort, don't waste your money!

Shen He's lips twitched as he listened. He had never seen anyone express reluctance in such a refined and elegant way!

However, gift-giving should always be reciprocal. His wife's family hadn't given any gifts during her pregnancy, childbirth, or postpartum period. Now that his wife isn't sending any gifts, he doesn't see anything wrong with it.

The mother-in-law and father-in-law are also a very capable couple. From their workplace to their residential compound, everyone speaks highly of the Xu family. They are a large, harmonious family with kind parents and filial children.

The Xu family is renowned for its high level of moral character!

The couple chatted sweetly for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone!

Regardless of who proposed sending this telegram, their purpose, or whether they wanted to improve relations, it was none of Xu Jing'an's business.

The Xu family members are like hedgehogs; they can't huddle together for warmth in the cold winter! At the first sign of trouble, they want to expose everyone around them. It's better to live separate lives and avoid any contact!

Xu Jing'an hung up the phone and hurriedly returned to her dormitory to write a heartfelt letter. The letter, spanning six full pages, overflowed with her concern.

The letter was folded and placed in the envelope; it was a thick, heavy stack. This was a fitting tribute to the sibling bond between them!

Zhao Xiaofang was a good girl. Xu Jing'an was happy for her that she had found happiness. But from the moment Zhao Xiaofang married Xu Jianshe, their relationship was no longer just that of ordinary friends!

It could be said that the emotional distance hasn't been shortened, but rather pushed apart. Because of differing perspectives!

In the evening, the female comrades in the dormitory returned, chattering away.

Wang Meihua: "Last semester, when we arrived, we had to do manual labor for a week first, nothing else. This time it's the freshmen's turn!"

Jiang Qiaoqiao: "I carried red clay to pave the May Fourth Stadium, and my arms ached from all the work!"

Yue Xiaomai: "Who says otherwise? Let's go see a movie during our break this week!" There are so many new movies released this year, attracting a large number of young people.

Dong Zhu: "I heard from my senior classmates in the Chinese Literature Department that the Beijing Film Academy has a lot of unfinished film scripts. Many of them are foreign films!"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard that.

Many people today don't know what "Resurrection" or "Les Misérables" are. Many haven't even heard of them. These world classics were banned during the Cultural Revolution!

So when it comes to foreign films, who wouldn't want to see them?

Xu Jing'an smiled and joined the conversation: "I've heard that many foreign films contain unhealthy scenes, and the projectionist will reach out to block them." She raised an eyebrow as she finished speaking.

The married women immediately understood and chuckled to themselves.

It is said that the pornographic spy film "Women Are More Ruthless Than Men" was dubbed but not released to the public, becoming an internal film.

Not long after, Xu Jing'an heard that a ball had already begun!

It wasn't a ballroom dance between men and women, but rather the men in one large circle and the women in another, dancing together to a waltz.

……

Xu Jing'an was enjoying a relaxed and happy time on campus. Meanwhile, Shen He was on the verge of going bald!

Criminal cases have been on the rise lately. Colleagues at the bureau are constantly busy. Shen He was almost asleep at work when his parents were called in.

This was the first time in so many years that Shen He had come to the school as a parent. He couldn't help but feel a pang of nostalgia; the past was like smoke, and he too had once been one of those punished by the homeroom teacher to stand in the corner!

Shen He gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, "The student surpasses the master; the son is more promising than his father. He's been summoned straight to the principal's office!"

As soon as you walk to the top of the first floor on the west side of the teaching building, you will see the "two guardians" at the entrance of the principal's office!

Shen He pulled down his wrinkled uniform with effort. Although the sour smell emanating from him was immediately noticeable, he still turned on the tap, wet his hair, and smoothed it down. He took a deep breath and pushed open the door.

Excellent! The principal, the homeroom teacher, and another parent are all here. That's quite a show of force!

As soon as Shen He entered, he greeted, "Hello, I'm Shen Yan's father." This wasn't his territory, so today this grandson had to put on an act!

The homeroom teacher, Ms. Zhang, immediately stood up: "Shen Yan's father, please have a seat. It was mainly because the two children were playing around and broke the glass in the principal's office."

Shen, acting on his professional instincts, first asked, "I'm so sorry to have caused you trouble! Did anyone get hurt?"

"We can pay for the broken items; as long as no one is hurt, it's not a big problem!"

Principal Li then spoke up: "I dodged quickly. Good heavens, the ball grazed my scalp and went by!" He was still shaken when he thought about it!

Shen He looked up and saw obvious shards of glass on the principal's bald head. It was clear that the situation had been extremely dangerous!

He decided to let his son recall his father's childhood tonight. It's time to remember the hardships and appreciate the present!
