Chronicle of the 70s

Five padded jackets, one for each man, a navy blue jacket for the gentlemen, Jianqing has one, Li Erfu can be skipped, Li Xianglu thought for a moment, the last jacket should be given to Li Dafu, after all, she and grandpa will still need to stay in the production team for a year or two, they will need to be taken care of anyhow.
