Yuan Chun bought fabric, and after buying a pound of fruit candy, she keenly spotted a batch of defective items being processed in a corner. She spent money on a large piece of polyester fabric bitten by mice and a piece of white pure cotton fabric with many mud spots, which would be perfect for making a few clothes for the baby in her older sister-in-law's belly.
There were also two tea mugs with chipped paint, a few mixed-color dyed towels, and a small iron pot with a broken wooden handle.
A thermos with severely chipped paint that looked ugly on the outside, but the inner bottle was new. The supply and marketing cooperative sold it to Yuan Chun for three yuan.
By the time Yuan Chun left the supply and marketing cooperative, her basket was already full.
Arriving at the place where the ox cart was parked, a sharp-eyed village aunt spotted the thermos in her basket and loudly exclaimed, "Yuan Chun girl, why did you buy so much stuff? That's a thermos, right?"
