He quickly retreated into the more crowded area, putting distance between himself and Tang Xiaoran.
Tang Xiaoran was also a person who cared about her reputation, so she didn't chase after him; after all, she had already achieved her goal.
That evening, the organization held a celebration banquet. Although there wasn't much good food or drink, everyone was given a small handful of melon seeds and peanuts, and a few pieces of meat were added to the dinner.
Scientific researchers, accustomed to hard work, do not care about material life. Everyone was immersed in joy, and the atmosphere of the celebration banquet was very enthusiastic.
The next day, the Gu family moved a brand-new color television into the living room.
In the 1980s, televisions were a true luxury item, requiring ration coupons to purchase. Color televisions were especially expensive, costing 1,500 yuan.
This price is equivalent to two to three years' salary for an average worker!

After setting up the television and connecting the antenna, Fang Ru even prepared a small square cloth with a pretty pattern to cover the television to prevent dust.
At that time, televisions could only receive a few channels, but having a television in the home meant having another window to the world and another form of entertainment.
In the past, we could only listen to the radio; there were no pictures, only sound. Now that we have televisions, we have both sound and pictures.
That evening, the whole family sat together on the sofa and watched the evening news.
Duan Meishan brought Tian Tian to watch TV as well.
Unexpectedly, the first news item after the start of the evening news broadcast was the successful launch of my country's "Aoxiang" satellite.
Apart from Shen Jingyan, this was the first time everyone had seen a rocket launch and a satellite enter space orbit on screen.
As Shen Jingyan watched the rocket launch, he suddenly realized something extraordinary.
Although Gu Zhiyun's satellite research and development mission was kept completely secret, Shen Jingyan did not know that he was researching the "Soaring" satellite, but her intuition told her that this was the satellite developed by her own man!
Hearing the news anchor excitedly say that the mission, originally planned to be completed in three years, was accomplished in just one and a half years thanks to the tireless efforts of numerous researchers, greatly shortening the project timeline and saving my country tens of millions of yuan in expenses…
Shen Jingyan's heart began to pound uncontrollably.
She suddenly stood up, startling Fang Ru who was next to her.
"Jingya, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Jingyan's lips trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Dad, Mom..."
Her words caught in her throat, and Duan Meishan, standing beside her, also abruptly covered her mouth.
The two women embraced and wept bitterly.
Without needing many words, they understood everything upon hearing the news.
Their men have successfully completed the mission assigned by the country and will be returning soon!
Moreover, it was a full year and a half ahead of schedule!
Shen Jingyan felt that she didn't need to be so dramatic. It wasn't like they hadn't broken up before, so why was she making Gu Zhiyun act like he had come back from the dead?
But all the longing of hundreds of days and nights turned into a torrent of tears at this moment, which could not be stopped at all!
At this moment, only Duan Meishan could understand her feelings.
Sure enough, three days after the news of the successful satellite launch, Shen Jingyan and Duan Meishan received a notification from their organization.
Gu Zhiyun and Yang Xuechang will be back at the end of the month!
"Jingya, we're about to welcome our great hero! What should we prepare?"
Duan Meishan kept talking about it.
A good meal alone is definitely not enough.
Shen Jingyan knows best what Gu Zhiyun wants; she just needs to prepare herself.
And they were prepared to stay indoors and in bed for seven days and seven nights.

As she spoke, she grabbed Duan Meishan's arm: "Come on, let's go in and experience it!"
Duan Meishan hesitated.
She receives a monthly salary, and although five yuan isn't much for her, it's enough to buy groceries for several days.
"This time it's on me!" Shen Jingyan said generously. "If the experience is good, you can treat me next time!"
Duan Meishan smiled, thinking that going in would make her more beautiful, and maybe Yang Xuechang would take a few more glances at her when he came back.
So the two of them spent five yuan to experience a facial treatment.
After the facial, the manager even gave them a box of face cream as a gift.
For no other reason than that the two of them already had good natural features, and the results after the facial were simply amazing.
"Please help us spread the word!"
Shen Jingyan and Duan Meishan readily agreed.
Duan Meishan looked in the mirror and touched her face in disbelief.
So fair and smooth, it's like I've turned eighteen again!
No, her face wasn't this smooth and tender when she was eighteen!
[Author's note]: Only now, with the addition of a television and a beauty salon, does it finally feel a bit modern!
Actually, you guys probably can't feel this modern vibe yet (because I know you're all too young~).
Ahem, actually SuSu wasn't born in the 1980s either.
Many nostalgic memories come from stories told by grandmothers and mothers.
No matter what era a girl is born in, she will always be a fairy!
