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

Seeing the little ones chatting about something unrelated to their studies, Cao Xiulian and Xuanxuan's grandma each grabbed one of the children and said, "Alright, alright, it's getting late. If you dawdle any longer, you'll be late for school. Haohao, you two are going the same way, why don't you go together?"

"Brother Zhao, wait a minute, there's something of yours here. It's in your schoolbag from last time. Grandpa Fang told me to return it to you." Ya Ya called out to Zhao Haohao, who was about to leave.

Zhao Haohao reached out and took it. He glanced at the cover and saw that it was printed with a primary school math test paper. His chubby face turned bright red, and he hurriedly crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it into his arms.

Oh no, this is so embarrassing!

"Hey, isn't this our math test from last week? Zhao Haohao, how come you got such a low score?" Peng Xuanxuan leaned over to take a look.

"It was a mistake. I'll definitely get a hundred next time," Zhao Haohao said stubbornly.

"Is this score low? Grandpa Fang said Brother Zhao is amazing. He can answer so many strange questions correctly. He's a rare little prodigy." Ya Ya asked, puzzled, as she listened to their conversation.

Fang Tiesheng reviewed the exam paper in two days and even did it himself. The calculations themselves were not difficult, but the format and units were all new knowledge.

The children in this place have to do math problems and practice arithmetic at a very young age, and they can still get so many right. Their perseverance far exceeds that of preschool children.

No wonder they can make so many strange and wonderful things and master so much knowledge that they don't understand. It turns out they start teaching them from a young age.

Peng Xuanxuan was stunned. If a score of 90 could be praised as a child prodigy, then...

"Sister Ya, I got a perfect score of 100!"

"Why are you calling me 'sister' too? What should I call you?" Ya Ya was a little embarrassed, feeling that the way she was addressed sounded aggressive, especially since she was the shortest and smallest of the three. "You can get more perfect scores than Brother Zhao, right? Well, you are too. Brother Zhao is a little prodigy, and you are a big prodigy."

Hehe, what a prodigy! Hehe, even if she's the younger brother or sister, Peng Xuanxuan is still older than Zhao Haohao.

Peng Xuanxuan grinned and said, "Just call me Xuanxuan. I'll honor my bet and call you my older sister. Besides, you still have a phone, Sister Ya. If I behave well, you can lend me your phone to play for a while."

As she spoke, she put her arm around Ya Ya's shoulder, showing a very close sisterly bond.

Her smile was quite something; her mouth stretched wide, revealing a gap in her upper jaw where a front tooth was missing. Ya Ya stared wide-eyed at her tooth, utterly astonished: "Xuan Xuan, where did your front tooth go?"

Peng Xuanxuan didn't care at all, waving her hand: "It fell out! I put the tooth under the bed. My mom said there's a tradition: top baby teeth that fall out should be put under the bed, while bottom ones should be thrown on the roof so the new teeth can grow in smoothly. It's the time when I'm losing my baby teeth, and I still have several loose ones, look!"

After saying that, she stretched her mouth wide, revealing a set of small white teeth to Ya Ya.

Ya Ya was incredibly curious, and a string of questions popped out of her mouth: "Will I lose my teeth and get new ones later? Will I have a lisp when I'm missing a tooth? Will food get stuck between my teeth when I'm chewing?"

"There is a slight draft, but you'll get used to it! If you chew your food carefully, you won't choke. It's just a little uncomfortable when gnawing on corn, but it will be fine once your new teeth grow in."

"Sister Ya, I'm off to school. I'll come back to work tomorrow!" Peng Xuanxuan waved to Ya Ya.

Zhao Haohao was already waiting at the store entrance.

Ya Ya stood there, watching them carry their backpacks and leave, her eyes full of envy.

That's great, everyone can go to school. I wonder what the schoolhouse looks like, and whether the teacher has a big, white beard.

My aunt said that both boys and girls can go to school. Will there be female teachers in the school?

Cao Xiulian glanced at Ya Ya's longing little face, then looked around the shop. The vegetables were sold out, and the steamed buns were almost gone. After thinking for a moment, she took Ya Ya's little hand and asked, "Ya Ya, would you like to go to school?"

"Can I go see it?" Ya Ya's eyes lit up instantly as she looked at Cao Xiulian.

"It's not convenient to go inside the school, but we can watch from the main gate. If we walk fast, we can still catch up with Hao Hao and the others."

"I want to go!"

"Let's go then." Cao Xiulian quickly took off her apron, carefully folded it, and put it into her small bag. She reached out to pull down the shop's roller shutter door, but paused as she locked it. "What if Yaya's villagers come and don't see us? They don't have cell phones and can't contact us. They'll be so worried."

Ya Ya's face stiffened as well. Oh dear, how should I answer this?

"Twenty skewers of deep-fried squid, I'll take care of that for you."

Just as she was struggling with this, Grandma Duck's voice rang in Ya Ya's mind.

"Wow, thank you, Grandma Duck!" Ya Ya breathed a sigh of relief and gave Cao Xiulian a big smile. "It's okay, Auntie. Look, my uncle is here! We'll just tell him."

Ya Ya pointed her little hand behind Cao Xiulian.

Cao Xiulian subconsciously turned around and saw Uncle Zhao, who often came to help Ya Ya move things, slowly walking over. He even nodded at her when he saw her turn around.

"Comrade Zhao... hello, I was just saying I was worried you might be concerned. I was thinking of taking Ya Ya to see Hongye, so I wanted to let you know. Or you could come with us." Cao Xiulian said to 'Zhao Hu'.

"Take it with you. We have the shop key. Just bring Ya Ya back later. We'll arrive early after we're done and wait in the shop."

This was the first time Cao Xiulian had heard Comrade Zhao speak, and his voice was somewhat different from what she had imagined.

"Okay, then I'll take Ya Ya there."

Ya Ya waved her little hand to Grandma Duck very readily: "I'm off!"

Zhao Hu grinned and waved his hand. This deal was a sure thing. Tomorrow, when the little cub goes to the night market, he will become the owner of twenty meat and egg burgers and twenty skewers of fried squid.

Now we don't have to be stingy when we eat.

Beautiful!

After saying goodbye to Uncle Zhao, Cao Xiulian was worried that Ya Ya's short legs wouldn't be able to keep up, so she simply bent down and picked her up, then walked quickly along the street. After walking for about ten minutes, she caught up with Grandma Xuanxuan and her group of people.

Zhao Haohao was the first to turn around and see them, his eyes widening in surprise: "Oh my god, why did you bring Sister Ya along?"

Cao Xiulian was already used to the children calling her "Sister Ya" and responded with a smile.

Peng Xuanxuan immediately raised her hand to greet them: "Hello, Sister Ya, Auntie!"

"Ya Ya has never been to school before, and she's very curious, so I brought her here to take a look from outside the door," Cao Xiulian explained casually.

Zhao Haohao patted his chest and said, "No problem! But let me tell you the truth, before you go to school you look forward to it, but once you sit in the classroom you don't know what it means to suffer."

As soon as he finished speaking, a soft "smack" was heard, and Cao Xiulian gently tapped his head with her finger: "What nonsense are you talking about, you little kid?"

"That's right, that's nonsense. Going to school is a good thing," Ya Ya chimed in, nestled in Cao Xiulian's arms.
