After her aunt walked away, Ya Ya crawled back into the shop, looked up at the tall roller shutter door, hid behind the worktable, and whispered in her heart, "Grandma Duck."

"What is it now, little cub?" Jie Chi patted his round belly, looking quite content.

That old man was pretty good. Although it took a bit more energy to send him here, I definitely earned more. Even the little cub stopped being stingy with money. This trip brought in a transaction volume of nearly seven thousand, several times more than before!

"Grandma Duck, could you please close the door for me when I get back? It's too high for me to reach," Ya Ya asked cautiously.

She gestured, indicating that even with a small chair, she couldn't reach it.

"Sure, it's no big deal," Jie Chi casually agreed.

With Grandma Duck's promise, Ya Ya breathed a sigh of relief and slipped out from behind the worktable, her eyes fixed intently on the stairs leading upstairs.

With her short legs, she trotted up to the small attic on the second floor, looked at the soft and beautiful bed in front of her that had a faint fragrance of flowers and fruits, and pounced on the quilt. She carefully dangled her feet over the edge of the bed, rolled around in the quilt.

She moved to a different spot, tilting her head to the side and resting it on the soft pillow, rubbing against the plush bedding, and squinting her eyes in comfort: "So soft, so comfortable..."

The little guy was overjoyed and adored the bed for a while before reluctantly getting up and moving to the low table. He carefully climbed onto the chair and sat there for a while, tiptoeing lightly, not wanting to step on the cute, fluffy dragon-shaped floor mat.

Her little hands gently stroked the soft tablecloth, and she felt a sweet warmth in her heart. Her aunt had decorated her little house so beautifully and comfortably.

After getting off the chair, Ya Ya bent down and touched the thick fur on the big rabbit ears on the quilt one last time. Then she carefully pulled the quilt to smooth out the parts she had rolled up before, smoothing out every wrinkle and straightening the crooked pillow.

Only after tidying up to be exactly the same as when she first came upstairs did Ya Ya reluctantly head downstairs, turning back to look at herself every step of the way.

When we got downstairs, the roller shutter door was already closed and locked.

Ya Ya put the sixteen bags of grain piled on the ground, the pork on the table, the box of chickens below, and the small cart into her space one by one, and the shop was suddenly much emptier.

After packing up, Ya Ya's gaze fell on the shop again. Many of the things were added by her aunt: small bowls and bags, large shelves, and those dark, round cakes.

She had seen the beautiful quilts upstairs on the second floor of the commercial city; such nice ones were usually very expensive.

Out of the corner of her eye, Ya Ya caught sight of the QR code sign that Cao Xiulian had placed on the table, and an idea popped into her head: "Grandma Duck, can I use the QR code to pay for Auntie like everyone else? I want to pay for Auntie."

Her little watch can only passively receive and make payments; it cannot actively transfer funds on its own.

My aunt bought herself so many nice things: beautiful bedding, this sturdy iron shelf, and pretty clothes, underwear...

Auntie gets up early every day to set up a breakfast stall and works so hard to earn money. Ya Ya doesn't want Auntie to always have to pay out of her own pocket to help her out.

"How much do you want to transfer to her?"

Ya Ya scratched her little head, looking blankly at her: "I don't know either... Grandma Duck is so smart, she must know, right? Just help me get it done, thank you, smart and kind Grandma Duck."

Jie Chi: Hehehehe, I'm smart and kind...

"Then I'll transfer three thousand to you. If it gets less later, just make up the difference." I've made three thousand and today I've broken through ten thousand!

……

"Received 3,000 yuan via WeChat."

While riding her electric scooter to take her son to school, Cao Xiulian was waiting at a traffic light when her phone suddenly made a call.

The noise was loud. It was rush hour, and the streets were full of parents dropping their kids off at school. Passersby looked on curiously, wondering which parent had such a high daily income, making three thousand so early in the morning.

Cao Xiulian also watched curiously, wishing that her business could earn so much money in a day someday.

……

"I'm back!" Ya Ya shouted happily as soon as she landed, holding up her phone.

The room was quiet, except for the solar-powered clip-on light that suddenly turned on with a warm white light when it sensed someone inside.

Huh?

Where are the village chief and the others? Why isn't Grandma here either?

In the courtyard, the group of people who were practicing Baduanjin with Fang Tiesheng heard the sound and hadn't had time to stop their movements when they saw Ya Ya, who had slipped from the kang (a heated brick bed) to the door, peeking her head out from the door frame.

"Grandma, Grandpa Fang, Grandpa Village Chief, Uncle Zhao, what are you doing?"

Why are they all standing so stiffly like wooden stakes?

Zhao Hu quickly stopped his stance and let out a breath.

While they were waiting in the house, Fang Tiesheng said that he was going outside to exercise. He said that just eating well was not enough. If he wanted to live a long and healthy life, he had to exercise and move his muscles and bones every day.

The group agreed that it made sense, so they followed Fang Tiesheng out to practice the Eight Pieces of Brocade.

This is a trick only scholars know; it's guaranteed to work.

Several people were practicing the "Seven Backbends to Cure All Diseases" move, their bodies were taut and their breath was held in their chests. Ya Ya noticed them as they stood on tiptoe.

"We're practicing Baduanjin with your Grandpa Fang to strengthen our bodies and improve our flexibility!" Zhao Hu said with a smile.

Improve your health!

Ya Ya's eyes lit up, and she quickly ran out to ask, "Will practicing this make me grow taller quickly? I want to practice it too!"

Fang Tiesheng waved his hand, "You're too young, you don't need to practice this yet. Just eat more and you'll grow faster."

Ya Ya obediently said "Oh," without dwelling on it, and immediately changed the subject excitedly, tilting her little face up with a joyful expression: "That's right, Grandma, Grandpa Village Chief, I bought so many things today! Grandpa Fang's rented shop is so convenient, he can deliver all the things I buy to the shop!"

"Oh? What good stuff did you buy? Come on, let's go inside and take a look!" The village chief's eyes lit up.

"There's no room in the house, I have so much stuff, I bought a whole house full of grain! Grandpa Village Chief, I'll take you to the cellar!" Ya Ya said, then put her little hands behind her back and walked towards the back of the house.

Zhao Hu quickly took out a flashlight and followed behind Ya Ya to light her way.

The remaining three quickly followed.

As soon as Ya Ya descended into the cellar, she had a sudden thought, and the four people behind her felt a blur before their eyes. The cellar, which had been somewhat empty, suddenly looked crowded!

The ground was covered with bulging bags of polished rice, and the rich aroma of grain filled the air. Looking to the side, a small mountain of meat, taller than a sprout, was swaying precariously, and next to it was a large box.

Ya Ya's little stroller was also piled up there.
