Ji Chuntao walked quickly to the table. Before she could take a closer look, she saw Granny Liu come out of the house. Her hair was neatly tied back, and she was wearing a new navy blue dress with the zipper pulled all the way up. The small collar made her look particularly smart, and the color also made her look fairer.

The pants were a bit baggy, with a large, protruding pocket on each side.

"You look very smart." Ji Chuntao reached out and touched Granny Liu's sleeve. She didn't know what kind of rare fabric it was, but it felt thick and stiff.

This is really suitable for working.

Efficient.

Grandma Liu stood in front of the mirror, looking at her clothes with some embarrassment. Thanks to Nannan, she had three new outfits every month.

As they spoke, villagers gradually arrived. "New clothes again? This color looks like it'll get dirty easily!"

"How could you dye it such a deep blue?"

Grandma Wang casually picked up a piece of clothing, unfolded it, and held it up against Xinghua. "It looks so good!" she exclaimed.

"Oh my, there's cotton in here!"

"My daughter said that the cotton-padded jacket inside can be removed. When the weather gets warmer, we can take off the inner jacket and still wear the outer single layer!" Grandma Liu introduced to everyone with a smile.

"Goodness, you can do that? Sew buttons inside the clothes and fasten them together. It looks simple, but how did they come up with that idea? The gods over there are really clever!" Old Sun exclaimed, turning the clothes over and over in admiration.

Gou Ya timidly squeezed at the back of the crowd, peering out.

Ji Chuntao caught a glimpse of this and waved her hand affectionately, "Gou Ya, come here quickly and try them on. Nannan said these clothes don't come in different sizes. If they don't fit, Auntie will alter them for you."

Gou Ya blushed and hesitated before stepping forward. Instead of trying on the clothes, she handed a small box to Ya Ya first: "Um... this is a little hat I made."

Ya Ya's eyes lit up.

Grandma Duck's Hat!

"Oh dear, look at my memory, I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it." Ji Chuntao slapped her forehead, took the small bag she had brought earlier and untied it. "Nannan, the little clothes are finished too, take a look."

Ya Ya excitedly took the clothes from Aunt Chun Tao's hands.

It's long and thin, with six holes including the neckline. Because the dress is so small, the originally small red mushroom print looks much bigger, with a big red mushroom on the back.

Then look at the little hat that Gouya made.

It's an unusual style, with an exceptionally wide brim at the front, slightly upturned sides, and instead of a straw closure at the back, it's secured with a light green ribbon. (Style reference: Bonnet)

The wide brim is lined with a translucent white pleated trim that fits snugly along the brim to the bottom of the hat. The outside is encircled by a light green ribbon, and the front is adorned with a circle of round, sparkling pearls.

The hat also has a pretty light purple three-dimensional flower sewn on each side.

Gou Ya looked at Ya Ya with some unease as she stared intently at the little hat. The design of the hat was from the pattern that the fairy sister had brought earlier. She thought it was pretty, so she decided to make this design, only changing the color scheme and adding beads and small flowers.

I don't know if it suits the little fairy's taste.

Ya Ya put the little hat in her hand and tried it on. Wow, this hat looks weird, but it looks pretty good on her!

"What a beautiful hat! Sister Gouya, you are so skillful! How can you knit so well? I love it! Thank you so much, Sister Gouya! And the little clothes are especially cute too. Thank you, Aunt Chuntao."

Hearing Ya Ya's straightforward praise, Gou Ya, who was already blushing, blushed even more and kept lowering her head, but the corners of her mouth secretly turned up.

As the villagers received their new clothes, Grandpa Liu was puzzled when his eyes fell on Zhao Hu and the village chief, who were holding the clothes. Usually, these four people would be the first to wear and show off, so why was it different this time?

"Village chief, where are Old Fang and his family today? Usually, you guys are all dressed in your new clothes early in the morning."

The village chief was taken aback, and just as he was wondering how to brush it off, he saw two people hurrying over to the courtyard gate. They were Fang Tiesheng and Niu Cuihua.

Both of them had puffy eyelids, faint dark circles under their eyes, and looked exhausted.

"Grandpa Fang! Grandma Cuihua!" Ya Ya craned her neck to look behind them. "Huh? Why didn't Brother Da Niu come with us? Is he sleeping in? We have new clothes today, Grandpa Fang, quickly call Brother Da Niu over to put on his new clothes!"

One sentence struck the elderly couple so hard that their forced smiles almost disappeared.

Just as Niu Cuihua was about to follow up on Ya Ya's words by saying that Da Niu was a sleepyhead and woke up late, Fang Tiesheng suddenly tugged at her wrist.

Fang Tiesheng took half a step forward, suppressing his anxiety, rubbed his face and smiled at Ya Ya: "Da Niu found traces of wild boars in the mountains yesterday. Fearing that the wild boars would come down the mountain and ruin the fields, he went up the mountain again early this morning."

We'll keep his clothes for now and give them to him when we get back.

Da Niu doesn't know when he'll be back yet. He says he can fool people by sleeping in for one day, but not two or three.

The excuse of wild boars can be used for quite some time.

Ya Ya's heart tightened upon hearing this, her little hands clenching the hem of her clothes, her face full of worry: "Wild boars are very fierce, it's too dangerous for Big Brother Niu to go into the mountains alone, Uncle Zhao, please remember to help Big Brother Niu later!"

Zhao Hu, standing to the side, chuckled and ruffled Ya Ya's hair. "Don't worry, I'll go in a bit. In a few days, I'll hunt down a wild boar for our little girl and share the meat with everyone!"

Gou Ya looked at the expressions of the village chief, Fang Tiesheng, and the others, and her heart stirred slightly. She lowered her eyes.

Fang Daniu was the one who needed rest the most among the returning group. His injuries had not fully healed, and Zhao Hu had not gone to the mountains to guard him. It was impossible to leave an injured person to guard him alone early in the morning.

Something must have happened.

She knew she was an outsider and didn't want to ask too many questions. Everyone kept it a secret from her for fear of causing panic and fear among the villagers, and for fear of making Ya Ya worry. She wouldn't expose them either.

After sorting the clothes, Ya Ya put the remaining clothes and the outfit she made for Grandma Duck into her spatial storage. Then she took out the assembled blackboard from her spatial storage and placed it next to the table.

"What kind of board is this?"

"Why do your two faces look different?"

"It feels smooth to the touch, what's it for?"

Everyone was startled by the sudden appearance of the large board and gathered around to see what was so strange. Ya Ya, not bothering to explain, skipped over to Fang Tiesheng while holding the picture books her aunt had given her.

"Grandpa Fang, look! I have new books! My aunt gave them to me. One is called 'Science You Must Know,' and the other is called 'The Human Body You Must Know.' Grandpa Fang, do you know what science is?"

There are so many words here I don't recognize!

Fang Tiesheng was preoccupied and had no interest in reading. He forced a smile and said, "Grandpa doesn't know what science is either, but the answer is definitely in the book. When Grandpa has time, he can take a look and explain it to our little girl in detail."

Ya Ya opened the book and pointed to the table of contents: "Okay, Grandpa Fang, there's also a section about electricity and solar energy here, look."

Ya Ya flipped through a few pages and pointed to the solar energy section: "Here's a big house with a sign that says 'board,' 'hot water,' and 'power generation.'"

The warm sunlight shone on the roof panels, and then through the panels…

Fang Tiesheng followed his gaze, and after scanning the pictures and words on the book, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his droopy eyelids instantly lifted.
