After the performance ended and the crowd gradually dispersed, the military wives started discussing again.

"How come their waists are so soft? The ones dancing in front are smiling even when they bend over. It looks effortless. But if I were to do that, I'd probably get hurt."

"How can we compete with young girls? They have all practiced hard. Look at the one singing. It's so beautiful. It seems to be even better than last year."

In fact, the programs are almost the same every time. Occasionally, there will be one that I have never seen before, but I am happy to see the familiar ones, especially for the military wives who have just arrived in the past two years. It is a rare thing to watch a movie in my hometown, let alone watch the performance of the consolation group!

Most of the military wives felt better after watching the performance. Their husbands were not in high positions, were sexually indifferent and boring, and they would never be interested in watching those young and beautiful girls on the stage.

They are all very pretty. If they really want to climb up the ladder, they should go for the good ones.

I am still worried about Du Rantong.

She had no friends on the island, but it was not a good idea to stay at home and sulk, so she took two pears and went to find her neighbors.

After Xu Sui came back, she continued to study fabrics. The latest book that Lu Chenghuai gave her was about pattern making, and she has been trying to figure it out recently.

When she heard someone knocking on the door, she knew who was coming. Not many people in the family would knock on the door, not to mention that she usually didn't close the door. Although it would give her less privacy, if she really closed the door every day, it would cause her more trouble.

Xu Sui called her in and poured her a cup of scented tea.

Du Rantong picked it up and sniffed it gently, "It smells pretty good."

She didn't even exchange pleasantries, but said directly, "Are you really not worried at all?"

Xu Sui looked at her strangely and turned to her, "What are you worried about?"

Du Rantong was deflated. "My guy is at least a chief of staff, and he's still young. And I..."

She didn't say anything else.

If Du Rantong was an ordinary person, she would not be so worried. She has been married to Shi Hong for so many years and has given birth to a son for him. If he really had such thoughts, she would definitely make a fuss.

But the problem is that she happens to be a small business owner in the city. Although she is not a capitalist who is hated by everyone, she is not much better.

If she had not married Shi Hong early, her fate would have been the same as those people in the newspaper.

Even though Du Rantong never bows her head in front of Shi Hong and never serves him tenderly and attentively, she actually feels guilty. She feels that her attitude towards Shi Hong was not very good when she first met him. What if he likes someone with a more unruly personality?

Besides, she was not the type to do what Lai Hyun-hye did.

Plus... Du Rantong touched her face and looked at Xu Sui's skin with envy, "What do you apply every day? How come your skin is so good? If I had a face like yours, I wouldn't have to think so much."

Xu Sui picked up a bottle of vanishing cream on the coffee table and showed it to her. "This is what they use. But I think you don't need to worry. You have been married to Shi Canmou for so many years. Don't you believe in his character?"

"I definitely believed it before." Du Rantong smiled bitterly, "Now I regret it. Why didn't I go to work when I had a job before? The older I get, the less confident I am."

Except for not changing her sexuality, she had considered everything else carefully. When she was a girl, she would drink coffee and go to western restaurants, but after marrying Shi Hong, she never mentioned it.

In the final analysis, since she has no one in her family and no ability of her own, she can only rely on men to think about the affection between them.

She knew clearly why Shi Hong liked her at first, because she was young, well-dressed and cultured. But now she is older and not like those young girls in the visiting group, who are so tender that water can be squeezed out of them. It is inevitable that she would think too much.

After all, it was not difficult for Shi Hong to change, but for her, it was like going from heaven to hell overnight.

Xu Sui said, "Although I don't have much contact with Staff Officer Shi, I feel that he is not the type of person like Chen Mei. Besides, you still have Shitou. If you don't believe in his feelings for you, you should at least believe in his feelings for Shitou. If the incident didn't happen, don't think too much about it. It won't affect your relationship."

Du Rantong nodded. "I know the truth, but I usually have nothing to do, so I can't help but think about it when I'm free."

Xu Suixiao wanted to change the subject. She was popular in the compound and several people came to talk to her about it in the past few days.

She observed Du Rantong's face and said, "I think short hair is more suitable for you."

Du Rantong has a small frame, a thin body, a small face and a small head. Now she has a big bra that reaches her waist, which actually exposes her disadvantages.

Du Rantong touched her braid unconsciously. She had had long hair since she was a child. When she was a teenager, she even thought that she would have a romantic encounter when her hair was long and flowing.

Cutting her hair short was something she had never considered, but it was Xu Sui who said this!

Although Du Rantong's children are about to enter primary school, she still loves beauty. She has observed Xu Sui's hairstyle for a long time. The same braid, hers is different from others, just to look better.

Xu Suiren was pretty, and she was willing to trust the judgment of pretty people.

She hesitated for a while before gritting her teeth and saying, "How about you give me a haircut? It would be nice to change my style. Besides, summer is coming soon and long hair is troublesome. It is difficult to wash my hair on weekdays. I have to wait a long time for my hair to dry, and if I am not careful, it will trigger my migraine problem."

The more Du Rantong talked, the better she felt about short hair. If it got ruined, the worst that could happen was that she would just go out less.

Xu Sui shook her head. "You should think about it again. I just think it myself. Maybe you can ask a few more people."

She saw that Du Rantong must cherish her long hair, so she just wanted to make a suggestion.

Du Rantong was more determined in her thoughts and asked others, "Among the military wives, there are a few stylish ones, and Xu Sui is the prettiest."

She stood up, said a few words and left in a hurry.

Wait until dusk before coming back.

Xu Sui almost didn't recognize Du Rantong when she changed her hairstyle to Liu Hulan's.

Du Rantong touched her hair and put the side strands behind her ears. "I asked the master to grow it longer before, and it was enough to cut it to the length. But it looks really good, and I seem to be much more energetic."

Although I’m still not used to it, it’s fine as long as it looks good.

Xu Sui went to the room and got a pair of scissors. "I'll give you a trim."

When she was in the orphanage, she cut her own hair. When she grew up, she cut the hair of her younger brothers and sisters. Even though she was not as good as a trained barber, her skills were good enough.

Xu Sui gradually narrowed the hair at the back of her head and cut bangs in front of her forehead. They were not straight bangs, but a little longer on both sides of her face.

After the haircut, Du Rantong looked at herself in the mirror and was very satisfied. She felt that she looked much younger.

She went back home and brought two more cans to Xu Sui.

Du Rantong was not short of money. Her dowry was even more than Shi Hong's savings. She was never stingy.

At this time, Shi Hong and Lu Chenghuai, who had just finished watching the performance in the small auditorium, came back together.
