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

The store is filled with towering bookshelves that reach to the ceiling, stacked against the walls, with books of all colors flowing endlessly like colorful rivers of words.

Ya Ya strained her little head to look up, but the shelves were so high that she couldn't see the top floor even though her neck was sore. Further inside, there was a long wooden staircase leading directly to the second floor. The whole store was bigger than she had imagined. The strong smell of ink made Ya Ya stand there, stunned.

Is this the taste of knowledge?

Cao Xiulian looked down at the dazed little girl. "Are you stunned? Never seen so many books before, have you? This is the biggest bookstore around here. What kind of book do you want to buy? Auntie will show you. You've finished the picture books I gave you last time, do you want to buy a few more?"

Ya Ya's ears burned slightly, and she answered softly, fiddling with her sleeve a little shyly, "Auntie, I haven't read it yet. Grandpa Fang and Grandpa Chen each took one, but they haven't taught me. I've only read the second volume of the Literacy King that Uncle the shopkeeper gave me."

"Oh my, our Ya Ya has even started learning 'King of Literacy'? She's already on the second book? That's amazing! No rush, we'll learn one book at a time. We'll read those two books to you after your grandpa and grandma finish reading them. We won't buy any more picture books for now. Auntie will buy them online after you finish reading those. These books are much cheaper online; you can buy two online for the price of one in a bookstore!"

Ya Ya's eyes lit up, and she looked up in surprise, asking, "Auntie, you know about this shop upstairs too?"

"Of course, Auntie often buys things online. It's cheaper and more convenient," Cao Xiulian replied with a smile.

Ya Ya thought to herself, "This store is really famous. Not only do the store manager and Sister He Miao often go there to buy things, but even my aunt knows about it."

That's true, this store always gives away a lot of freebies every time I buy something, and the prices are reasonable. No wonder so many people like to shop here. I wonder where this store is located. If I have the chance, I'll go and check out this store called "Upward."

"What kind of books do you want to buy?" As she spoke, Cao Xiulian had already led Ya Ya to the store's information board, which clearly divided the store into various sections such as children's educational materials, picture books, history and humanities, literature and novels, and social sciences.

"Auntie, I want to buy some books for Grandpa Fang, but I don't know what kind of books to buy. The village installed solar panels and some kind of wheat power grid a few days ago. They bought them several days ago, and the wires are all messy and colorful. Grandpa Fang, Grandpa Chen, and Sister Gouya have been thinking about them for a long time."

"In that big blue book you gave me before, um... you know, that black board is for the roof. Grandpa Fang said the wiring hadn't been done yet; it had to be connected before it could be put on the roof. But so far, not a single board has been installed. I see them scratching their heads anxiously in Grandpa Village Chief's yard every day."

After listening to the little guy's stammering description, Cao Xiulian immediately understood. It turned out that the villagers in Yaya Village wanted to build their own photovoltaic energy storage system. They had bought all the necessary materials but didn't know how to install it. They probably didn't dare to mess around with it for fear of danger, so they were worried.

These things aren't cheap, and it's really troublesome to install them yourself. I don't know why they didn't ask the store to include installation when they bought them, or just call someone to come and install them.

Could it be that it's so remote that no one is willing to go out and place orders?

It's not impossible to install it yourself; in such a big village, there must be someone who knows a little bit.

Cao Xiulian stroked her chin; they lacked books on practical electrical engineering knowledge.

Those physics books that explain principles are definitely not suitable. Grandpa Fang looks to be over seventy years old. It would be a bit difficult for him to learn physics at his age. We need to choose easy-to-understand, practical books suitable for beginners. I'll also find a few photovoltaic installation operation videos and save them to Ya Ya's phone later.

Having made up her mind, Cao Xiulian looked around and her gaze settled on the science and technology section. She waved her hand and said, "Come on, Auntie will take you to find some books."

This Xinhua Bookstore does not have a separate category for electrical engineering; all of them are grouped into the engineering and technology section on the shelf.

Cao Xiulian carefully selected a book, first picking up "The Complete Practical Hardware Guide" and then "The Practical Electrician's Handbook". She then found a book on top titled "Learn Electrician from Scratch: From Beginner to Expert", took it down, flipped through a few pages, and put it in her pocket as well.

Ya Ya followed behind her, craning her neck to look around. There were so many books, and they smelled so good that she felt a little sleepy.

Grandma Duck doesn't chase me back anymore; I wonder if it's because I can stay in this place longer now.

If it really gets longer, I need to tell my mother-in-law and the others, otherwise she'll worry.

After selecting her electrical engineering books, Cao Xiulian glanced at the medical and health category next to her, paused, and turned away.

Medical conditions in mountain villages are poor, and daily hygiene care for the elderly and children is inadequate. Since we're already here, let's buy a few more medical and health books for Ya Ya's village.

With that in mind, she picked out several more books on home healthcare, rural health and disease prevention, and daily childcare, and also bought a health recipe book.

These books should be useful to everyone in the village.

After paying, the thick stack of books was packed up and divided into two heavy bags.

"Alright, let's go back to the shop. The entrance will probably be piled high with vegetables!" Cao Xiulian said, carrying a bag of books in one hand and holding the hand of a sleepy Ya Ya in the other.

Worried that it might be unsafe for Ya Ya to fall asleep on the back of the electric scooter, Cao Xiulian took out her phone and hailed a taxi.

Another four-wheeled vehicle that I've only ever seen but never ridden in!

Ya Ya rubbed her eyes hard and followed her aunt into the little car.

The exterior of the car is white metal, and the seats inside look exquisite, with soft leather coverings and a pleasant fragrance.

Ya Ya nestled in the back seat, her seatbelt fastened by Cao Xiulian.

"Auntie, why are you tying me up? I won't move around." Ya Ya asked curiously, pulling at the wide black band in front of her stomach.

"This is a seatbelt, it protects our safety. If there is an accident and you are not wearing a seatbelt, you may be thrown out and hit the front. With this belt, you are less likely to get injured," Cao Xiulian explained earnestly.

Ya Ya blinked. It seemed like there weren't any such straps on the buses. There were so many different kinds of buses here.

……

"With so much meat and vegetables, one tricycle probably won't be enough to hold it all!"

Cao Xiulian looked at the pile of meat and vegetables blocking the entrance of her shop with some hesitation, then looked at Ya Ya.

This child's shopping habits are terrifying. She buys 500-jin (250 kg) at a time. If there weren't only 20 chickens on the stall, she probably would have wanted to buy 500-jin as well.

Looking at the pile of meat and vegetables at the door, Ya Ya felt a great sense of accomplishment.

This is her spoils of war today, Queen YaYa!

"Auntie's fine, people from the village will be here soon, we can get it back, there's a big truck!" Ya Ya said confidently.

"Alright then, take out the little watch, and Auntie will transfer the money from selling the bracelet to you."

Ya Ya did as she was told and raised her hand to bring up the payment QR code.

"53976..."

Good heavens, one bracelet costs over 50,000!

Ya Ya's drowsiness was instantly dispelled by the huge sum of money. Fifty thousand for one duck, and Grandma Duck still had that much in her spatial storage.

Ya Ya secretly glanced at the duck granny who was dressed like a golden caterpillar. There were at least a dozen or so 50,000 here, and the cave that Grandpa the village chief mentioned, a cave full of them, oh my god.

She was already quite impatient to go into the mountains tomorrow!
