The little one's purse connects the two worlds, turning a desolate village into a paradise.

Ya Ya stared wide-eyed at the thick stack of brand-new red bills.

Her little hands trembled slightly as she carefully took it with both hands.

The small pouch hidden in her chest emitted a faint, light green light once again.

"The transaction value between the two worlds has exceeded 10,000, activating one cubic meter of storage space." A slightly hoarse voice suddenly rang in Ya Ya's little head.

Where did this old duck come from?

Ya Ya looked left and right in confusion, as if she had just heard the quacking of an old duck. Had she misheard?

"Eek...? It's a cub. No wonder the progress is so slow. It's taken so long to barely accumulate enough activation points." The old duck spoke again, and the green light in the little pouch slowly weakened.

"I still have a little energy left, let's make a trading tool..."

Ya Ya carefully stuffed the money into her small handbag, which suddenly bulged out into a large, square shape.

She rubbed her little ears, feeling like an old duck had been talking all along. She looked at the black frame opposite her; it must have been the duck hiding in that frame that was talking.

He Miao was really worried about the large amount of money in her small cloth bag, and repeatedly reminded her, "Don't show this much money carelessly, keep it safe."

"It would be great if we had a phone watch so your mother-in-law could link her bank card. It would be much more convenient to receive payments via QR code in the future."

"Ya Ya, go back and mention it to your mother-in-law. If Yu Qing wants to buy more in the future, the amount will definitely be considerable. Your little bag is really not safe."

This is the hard-earned money of the entire village. Even if her mother-in-law didn't have it, other elders in the village would definitely try to get it.

"A phone watch? A payment terminal?"

Ya Ya listened with a blank expression, her little face full of confusion.

"It's a watch you wear on your wrist, used to contact your family and also to make payments. The older folks in the village should know about it. Yaya, ask them when you get back, okay?"

Ya Ya nodded vigorously, trying her best to remember what Sister He Miao had said.

The shoes in the stroller had all been taken out. He Miao folded the stroller and put it away. She looked at the time and realized it was already 8:30. She had to hurry and take Ya Ya back; it was too late.

"Ya Ya, we'll take you home. Do you remember where your uncle is?"

"I remember."

"Then we'll take you to the place you agreed to meet your uncle."

Ya Ya nodded obediently again.

He Miao and Su Yuqing each took Ya Ya's little hand in their own. They hadn't noticed it when they were holding one hand before, but now that they were holding both of the little one's hands, they didn't have to bend over like before.

The little guy seems to have grown taller?

He Miao was a little dazed. Children grow up so fast. She would take some time to measure Ya Ya's height again.

The three of them sat in that magical square box and went downstairs, slowly walking out of the community.

As He Miao passed by the convenience store, she remembered how curious Ya Ya had looked at the cola before, so she turned into the convenience store.

She grew up in the village, where the village store sold pirated Coca-Cola and Reibi, and the ingredients were comparable to the periodic table of elements.

Let's buy some proper snacks and drinks for Ya Ya to take home.

She picked out two small bottles of Coke, and also grabbed a few bags of potato chips and cream puffs. She noticed that even though Ya Ya was reserved, she still ate several potato chips, so she must like them.

I also picked out a few packets of fruit gummies and milk candies. They were all in small packages, because I was worried that my child might get cavities from eating too many.

She paused when she saw the canned goods—canned yellow peaches!

How could I have forgotten about this amazing tool?

In their northern region, canned yellow peaches are not just a snack, but a panacea and a social commodity.

Sick? Have a can.

Gifts? A few cans, please.

Banquets, visits to the sick? Have a can.

There's nothing that can't be solved with canned yellow peaches.

The God of canned yellow peaches will bless every child away from home.

She simply unfolded the folded cart again, took out six cans of plump yellow peaches, two cans of oranges, and a few bottles of fresh vitamin C drinks and electrolyte water that young people like to drink. She weighed them and stopped when she thought they were about right.

The items that Su Yuqing bought were, in her words, the result of cultivating good relationships with the suppliers.

After leaving the convenience store, He Miao bent down and reminded Ya Ya, "There are lots of little bubbles in the cola. If you're on a bumpy ride home, don't open it right away. Let it sit for a while before opening, otherwise the bubbles will spray out, okay?"

Ya Ya stared curiously at the tin can, wondering if it would bubble up like spring water from the mountains.

He Miao pushed the cart, and together with Su Yuqing, they escorted Ya Ya to the designated alley.

The alley was dimly lit, and there were no security cameras at either end.

He Miao muttered to herself, wondering why she had chosen such a secluded alley.

However, she didn't ask any more questions. Ya Ya always came and went safely, and her complexion was getting better and better. She was always clean and tidy. It seemed that the people in the village cherished this child very much, and they must have their reasons for choosing this place.

Ya Ya saw that Sister He Miao and Sister Yu Qing were waiting for Uncle with her, and her little eyes showed some anxiety.

Her uncle can't come; he has to fly back soon. What should she do?

Sister Hemiao is a fairy, and I am a monster. If the sisters see me, will they hate me?

"Would you like to exchange for a puppet? Two cans of yellow peaches, disposable items."

Ya Ya trembled, frowned, and looked around in a panic: What's going on? That old duck followed us, where is it?

She looked around but couldn't find even a single duck feather. Just as she was feeling satisfied but puzzled, that hoarse voice rang in her mind again: "Don't bother looking, it's in your pocket. Little brat, I'm about to run out of energy, want to switch? Time is running out."

Ya Ya looked down at her chest; her purse was hidden by her clothes, and it felt warm.

She glanced up at Sister Hemiao and Sister Yuqing; both of them looked perfectly normal, clearly unaware of the old duck's situation.

Ya Ya hesitated, then opened her mouth, "You don't need to say it aloud, just think about it in your mind."

The hoarse voice was tinged with anxiety. "I'm running out of energy and I'll have to go back to sleep soon. I've checked on you. Your two older sisters are still waiting for your uncle. Exchange two cans of yellow peaches for an item, and they'll see the uncle you mentioned coming to pick you up. It won't give you away."

Upon hearing that her older sisters wouldn't find out and wouldn't give her away, Ya Ya immediately thought to herself, "I want to change! I want to change!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two cans of yellow peaches silently disappeared from the covered box in the trolley.

The next second, a clear "ding-a-ling" sound came from the alley entrance, and a pedicab slowly drove over.
