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

After putting the cart full of vegetables and tofu pudding into her spatial storage, Ya Ya asked Grandma Duck to help her turn off the door and lights before returning to the village.

The village chief, Dr. Chen, and Granny Liu were discussing the village's future plans around a small table in the house, from digging septic tanks to building defensive walls and drainage ditches. Fang Tiesheng was watering the cement wall in the backyard.

This wall is strange. Their mortar and cement must never come into contact with water, but this cement is the opposite; it needs to be cured with water.

If he hadn't been reading the small print, they wouldn't have known they needed to water the plants, and they almost ruined everything.

As the discussion drew to a close, the village chief caught a glimpse of a small, light blue figure emerging from behind Granny Liu.

His eyes widened. "Nannan?"

Grandma Liu turned her head and said, "Oh my, our little girl is back! Why is she wearing a new dress? Did you buy it yourself? This dress is so pretty, just as cute as the red one she wore before, like a little ball of fluff."

Grandma Liu touched Ya Ya's little clothes with great interest.

There are two little ducks on its chest, making it even cuter the more you look at it.

Ya Ya pursed her lips and chuckled, "These are new clothes that Auntie bought for me, and the clothes underneath are new too! Auntie bought a whole bag of clothes."

As she spoke, Ya Ya unbuttoned the snaps and showed the group the pullover sweater inside.

Grandma Liu pinched the duck on the sweater; it was soft and fluffy, even stuffed with cotton inside—so meticulous! Beautiful!

"This dress is not only beautiful, but it also smells nice," Doctor Chen said, sniffing the air.

Grandma Liu then noticed that Ya Ya's previously limp hair had been styled, changing from two tufts to small, fluffy braids.

"Darling, your auntie washed your hair too?"

"Not only did I wash my hair, I also took a shower! I showered in the shop's bathroom, and that bathroom was amazing. It would automatically spray hot water, which would gush out like it was raining." After saying that, Ya Ya realized that she hadn't seen what her new clothes looked like on her yet.

"Grandma, I'm going outside to look in the mirror."

Ya Ya pushed open the door, turned the corner, and stood in front of the mirror.

Hehe, it looks really good.

They are brand new sprouts.

The little guy stood in front of the mirror, grinning. After admiring his front view, he turned to admire his back view. Only when he turned around did he realize that the usually empty yard was now full of people.

"Aunt Chuntao, Grandma Fang, Sister Xinghua, Grandpa Sun, and Brother Daniu are here too! Why aren't you all resting and sleeping yet? Where's Uncle Zhao? I don't see Uncle Zhao or Grandpa Fang."

Fang Daniu said loudly, "Your Uncle Zhao went to the back to guard the kiln and watch the fire. He'll probably be back soon. My dad went to the back to water the walls. He said he needs to train more and he can only water them himself, not everyone else."

"Darling, we've been waiting for you! The phone's fully charged. Did you see that amazing thing, the peaceful mask?"

Ya Ya's eyes lit up. Wow, there are so many more listeners today!

Perfect timing! She also brought a lot of tofu pudding, so everyone can eat and listen at the same time.

"I can see! Quick, everyone sit together, I'll tell you all about today's events. Oh, and Big Brother Niu, set the table and bring out the small bowls, there's something delicious!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the courtyard's eyes lit up instantly, and the atmosphere became lively. Da Niu and Xing Hua took the lead in moving chairs and tables with great enthusiasm.

Whether they can eat it or not, it's a good thing to have novel foods in front of them, to be able to see and smell them, not to mention that they can see those novel things and hear their daughter tell them about the novel things there!

The group worked quickly and efficiently, setting up the tables and chairs in no time, with a small stainless steel bowl in front of each person.

Ya Ya sat on the big red plastic chair, and with a flick of her little hand, four bulging plastic bags appeared on the wooden table, filled with dark-colored food that looked like tofu but didn't quite.

"Little girl, what's this?"

Ya Ya rested her chin on her little hand and smiled sweetly: "This is tofu pudding. There are two flavors, sweet and salty. You can choose whichever you like!"

"Tofu pudding comes in different flavors? What kind of sauces are these? They look so sticky." Ji Chuntao was the first to stand up, picked up a bag and examined it for a while; it was still steaming hot.

She untied the knot on the bag, and as soon as she opened it, the sweet and rich aroma of honey spread out.

This is sweet.

Niu Cuihua next to her also opened a bag; it had a salty, savory, and mellow braised aroma, and it was salty.

Xinghua, Da Niu, and Gou Ya swallowed hard and looked at Doctor Chen expectantly.

Others have already started dividing the tofu pudding according to their own preferences.

Dr. Chen leaned forward and scooped up a spoonful of savory tofu pudding, examining it closely against the light. Inside, there was not only sauce but also unidentified bits and pieces (chopped wood ear mushrooms), and he could vaguely see small pieces of yellow, which should be egg.

He frowned slightly. The salty sauce was heavy and the seasoning was complicated. Now that their stomachs were weak, eating it would easily cause bloating, nausea, and upset stomach, so it was best to avoid it.

When Da Niu saw Dr. Chen shake his head and put the tofu pudding back, his heart sank.

Dr. Chen scooped up another spoonful of sweet tofu pudding, took a sip, and his eyes suddenly lit up – this taste!

It has a mild and sweet taste, with a soft and glutinous filling, and you can faintly taste the brown sugar base. The flavor is just right. If it were hot, it would taste even better if it were chilled in well water for a while.

He took the bag and poured himself a full bowl.

Then, carrying a bowl and an unused large spoon, he walked up to Xinghua and the other two: "You can eat some of this sweet tofu pudding; it's good for your health."

He then scooped two large spoonfuls for each of the three people.

Da Niu held the stainless steel bowl, took a delighted sniff, and couldn't bear to eat it. Just smelling it made him feel so happy he was practically bubbling with joy.

After dividing the tofu pudding, Ya Ya put the rest into her spatial storage. Grandpa Liu, Xiao Douzi, and Xiao Shuanzi hadn't come over yet, so she wanted to save some for them to try tomorrow.

Grandma Liu slowly sipped her sweet tofu pudding, the wrinkles around her eyes smoothing out.

Just then, Fang Tiesheng, carrying a small bucket, came panting as he hurried over from the backyard. Niu Cuihua quickly invited him to sit down: "Old man, come and rest! Our little girl is back, and she brought some new and interesting food!"

Ya Ya looked around and realized that Uncle Zhao was the only one missing.

Uncle Zhao saw the matter yesterday, so let's not wait for him. Let everyone see Auntie and hear what she has to say.

Thinking this, Ya Ya opened her phone and pulled up the video that Cao Xiulian had recorded. The phone was very loud, which startled everyone.

"This is my aunt, isn't she beautiful? Everyone, listen to what my aunt is saying!"

Ya Ya held up her phone as if showing off, and everyone crowded around, listening and looking intently at the phone.

After Auntie finished speaking and everyone had heard clearly, Ya Ya brought out the photos and showed them to everyone one by one. Everyone's curiosity was satisfied, and Grandma Fang even poked at the photos before sitting back down and discussing them quietly.

"This must be some kind of magic! A perfectly real person can be hidden inside, so lifelike!"

"You can't imagine what this is all about unless you see it with your own eyes."

"This is amazing! So incredible! The room is decorated so beautifully, the colors look so vibrant!"

"So that's what those beds look like; they're all made of iron bars!"

As they were discussing this, Zhao Hu walked in from outside the courtyard with a flashlight.

Ya Ya waved quickly, "Uncle Zhao, come quick, there's something delicious!"

Zhao Hu immediately perked up, "What delicious food is it?"
