After returning, the old educated youth explained to them the bathroom in the house and some daily water operations. Everyone was naturally extremely surprised, but because it was getting late and the old educated youth had their own work to do, they dispersed first and planned to get together for dinner at dinner time.
As soon as the old educated youth dispersed, the new educated youth crowded into a bedroom and talked in private. It was not that they didn't want to watch TV, but they were worried about breaking it.
Of course they were very curious about the TV, as they had never seen it before. However, it would be bad if it was broken, so they decided to wait for the old educated youth to come back before watching it. Now they decided to study this new booklet first.
Both male and female educated youth were very interested in this thing.
It was also for this reason that they received different booklets, so they came out of the bedroom and squeezed onto the sofa in the living room.
"Wow, this sofa is so soft. It's so comfortable to sit on."
"You guys watched that TV show just now, right? Let's ask them about it when we get back tonight. Next time, even if they're not around, we can watch it ourselves."
"The walls here never get dusty, and the color is so beautiful. I wonder how they got it so bright?"
"Oh, forget about that. Let's first take a look at what's in this booklet. I heard it's all something we can afford."
"That's a bit nonsense. How does he know we can afford it? Does he even know how much money we have? Hahahahaha."
"Hurry up and take a look. I should have taken two more booklets."
Everyone couldn't wait to read the contents of the booklet because they were all very curious. Moreover, this kind of colorful book is rare, and it is so big. The style is completely different from the books they have read before, so they are paying close attention to it.
"The paintings here are really beautiful, but I can't tell what many of them are. Fortunately, the edges are depicted in great detail, but how did they paint these things? They're too realistic, aren't they?"
"I've seen cameras before, and the pictures they take look similar. Could this be a picture they took with a camera and then printed?"
"I don't think it's possible. It would be strange if it were that easy. Anyway, it still looks quite strange now because the color doesn't seem that... I don't know how to describe it, it just feels weird."
"Does it look particularly bright? I think it looks particularly bright."
"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I meant. I just thought the color was particularly bright. I couldn't think of how to describe it before. Now I know what you meant."
"Can you please take a look at the content first? Please don't keep discussing this, okay?"
"This is called a tissue. It's written on the side, but you can't really tell what a tissue is from the outside. He even explained it very clearly, saying it's for wiping your mouth and table, and it's a disposable substitute for a handkerchief."
This is arranged to help people in this world understand these modern daily necessities as quickly as possible, so there will be some detailed explanations on the side. Otherwise, if you don’t know how to use them, then you don’t know how to buy the products. This aspect is quite considerate. For example, these new friends can understand the uses of various products by reading the introductions on the side.
"They actually use paper towels instead of handkerchiefs. How wasteful! I think they use several a day."
In fact, it was not just them. The new educated youth thought so, as did the old educated youth who found some. They were all a little shocked by the speed at which those people used paper towels, and they felt it was too wasteful.
Moreover, they think that although paper towels are not expensive, if you use them every day, the price will be quite high when they are piled up. Therefore, most of them think that handkerchiefs are better. Although they are really soft, they are reluctant to use them. They just want to bring two packs back if they have the chance to go home.
The people at home have never used such soft paper, so I must bring it back to let them see it.
"I won't buy this. I think it's a bit of a waste. It looks cheap per pack, but did you see? It only says 120 sheets, which means there are only 120 sheets in it. It feels too expensive."
"Yeah, it seems really expensive when I see the amount. Let's just use handkerchiefs!"
"It says on the bottom that there are rolls of paper on the side. Does this mean toilet paper, or the kind used in the toilet?"
"Now that you think about it, it's even more expensive. In the past, we could have bought a dozen thick sheets of ordinary straw paper for the same price."
"This paper claims to be incredibly absorbent, but what should we do during our periods? Wouldn't that be a waste? We'd definitely have to spend even more money. I don't think this thing is very reliable. Let's all just be a little more cautious!"
"But I don't think that's right. Look down there, there are menstrual products, called sanitary napkins. What are sanitary napkins? I've never heard of them before. Are they really useful?"
"How come this thing is so cheap? They said you can apply for a subsidy to cover the original price. It seems quite expensive, but if the subsidy is approved it will be cheaper! I see it says it's a women's subsidy."
The male comrades nearby had already stepped away because everyone was discussing the topic so heatedly that they had forgotten about their presence. They thought it would be better not to get involved, so they all sat on the other side. The female comrades noticed this and lowered their voices.
