Back home, the family was delighted with the pile of discounted goods Yuan Chun bought, placing the thermos in the living room for everyone to use.
A towel was also taken out and hung on the towel rack for everyone to share.
The remaining two towels and two tea mugs were put away by Grandma Feng, "These towels and tea mugs are for Yuan Chun, Yuan Zhen, and Guo'an to use when they go to the county to study."
At this time, the village was poor, unable to get industrial products, and couldn't afford tea mugs and towels, so they drank with bamboo and wooden cups.
They didn't use towels to wash their faces either, just splashed some water with their hands and wiped with their sleeves.
Having something to use now was already a good thing.
Folks didn't bother with so many formalities.
In the evening, after dinner, Grandma Feng held a family meeting.
