章節 258: Chapter 258: Arrive Home

Tables and chairs were borrowed from neighbors' houses. It was customary to return them with a bag of candies. This practice was customary during festivities, and everyone had become accustomed to it. This not only enhanced neighborhood relationships but also promoted a shared sense of joy.
