Startled by the sudden burst of fast-paced music, Ya Ya's eyes widened as she hid behind Cao Xiulian, staring at the black box that had made the sound.

Cao Xiulian gently put her arm around her and explained in a low voice, "This is a speaker specially designed for playing music outdoors. It has a loudspeaker inside, so the sound is loud. Otherwise, it would be too quiet to hear in the noise outside. If you think it's too noisy, just stand further away."

Ya Ya shook her head. Her voice wasn't actually very loud, but it was a bit sudden and startled her.

And why is this music so...

It makes you want to move along with it, doesn't it?

The elderly square dance team, lined up in neat rows, had already started moving to the beat.

Qian Huizhen led the dance, followed by a group of elderly men and women. Their steps were synchronized, their arms swaying from side to side, their bodies swaying to the rhythm, and occasionally they would turn sideways and change formations.

The catchy, powerful melody kept drilling into her ears, making Ya Ya's feet itch more and more. Her little legs moved uncontrollably to the beat, and her little hands unconsciously imitated Grandma Qian's arm movements, waving back and forth, and she even imitated it quite well.

Cao Xiulian pressed her legs.

Dead leg, hold on, don't let it move.

As the song ended, Li Xiangzhi and Qian Huizhen exchanged a glance, smiled, and walked over. Without a word, they grabbed Cao Xiulian's wrist and pulled her to an empty spot on the side of the group, handing her a dance fan: "Since you're here, don't be shy. The next song is a slow-paced fan dance, it's easy to dance, just think of it as warming up, don't be afraid!"

Unable to refuse, Cao Xiulian could only stand in the corner of the line with her fan in hand.

Ya Ya was also given a fan, which was almost as long as her arm compared to her small arms.

She didn't need her two grandmothers to call her; she found an empty spot and stood there quite consciously.

Fan dance, King Sprout is here!

……

"Little Yuzu, remember to ask for me, we're out of vegetables."

"Okay, okay, old man, I have a good memory, you don't need to remind me again and again." Cheng You hung up the phone helplessly. This was the fifth time her grandfather, Cheng Huaisong, had called her.

The basket of vegetables I brought yesterday weighed a full three pounds, and her grandparents ate it all as snacks. Three pounds, not three hundred grams! They're like little kids, getting more and more like children as they get older.

When she went to visit them in the morning, she noticed that even their burps smelled of vegetables.

There are no vegetables at home, but the refrigerator is piled high with lobster, M9 Wagyu beef, prawns, matsutake mushrooms, smoked salmon, and various boxed fresh organic vegetables. How can you call that having no vegetables?

Cheng You didn't have Ya Ya's contact information either. Considering that the little rascal was wandering around the night market and running into the trade city almost every day, she simply dragged a stool from Yu Gong's place, sat down by the entrance on the first floor of the trade city, and acted as an information desk while waiting for someone.

Ya Ya was unaware that someone was waiting for her, and was currently pushing her little cart through the rows of stalls at the night market.

I promised to buy Grandma Duck a giant squid and a meat and egg burger, and she will definitely keep her word.

The familiar aroma of eggs wafted over, and Ya Ya could see Uncle Double Chin waving at her from afar.

"Young boss!"

"Uncle stall owner!" Ya Ya quickened her pace, the wheels of her little cart turning rapidly, and she soon arrived at the fried rice stall.

Seeing her light and nimble steps, the fried rice vendor knew that there were probably no wild onions again. Without asking, he simply picked up a freshly made meat and egg burger from the iron plate and handed it to Ya Ya: "Here, eat it while it's hot. I made a new sauce, try it."

A few days ago, the boss said she would bring him some wild vegetables and onions, but he didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, she actually brought them the next day.

The wild vegetables were of such good quality that he couldn't bear to sell them and took them all back for his family to eat.

The young boss was so good to him, even going out of his way to dig up wild vegetables and onions, so he couldn't be slacking off. He had to let the young boss be the first to try the new product.

"Thank you, Uncle." Ya Ya put the meat and egg burger aside and didn't eat it right away. Instead, she took out another bag from her little cart, which contained a large bunch of bok choy.

"Uncle stall owner, here's some bok choy that we grew ourselves in our village."

The fried rice stall owner was overjoyed, his chubby face crinkling with smiles.

"Oh dear, this won't do. You're bringing me vegetables again. You're too kind." He said politely, but took the vegetables with his hand.

Just kidding, the boss's creations are always top-notch, so act fast or you'll miss out.

He picked up a leaf and smelled it; it had a pleasant fragrance.

Purely natural organic vegetables!

"This dish is good, thank you, little boss!" The fried rice vendor shouted, holding up the vegetable leaves like he was displaying a trophy as he circled his stall, earning three eye rolls from the vendors of Qianlixiang Wonton, Jianbing Guozi, and Bobo Chicken.

Of the four stalls where they all bought scallions from the young boss, he was the only one who was a loyal follower. He was the only one who received wild scallions, wild vegetables, and homegrown vegetables from the young boss. Who could understand the honor he received?

Not only does he deliver food, but the young boss also has to take care of his own business. After taking two bites of his new flavored meat and egg burger, he said he wanted fifty to take away.

Does this make the small business owner spend money?

"Uncle is in a good mood today, so I'm treating you. You don't need to pay. Just bring me some of your dishes next time you have them. Your food is really delicious, young boss."

"Oh? That's not right, Uncle. Fifty is very expensive. I have to pay for it. I can't let you lose money." Ya Ya's mouth gaped slightly. Uncle is so stingy.

"If you say you won't accept it, then you won't. Just bring some more vegetables for your uncle next time you have them. He loves green vegetables."

The owner of the jianbing (Chinese crepe) stall next door glanced over sideways and gave a soft snort.

What dish is so delicious? They waived the cost of fifty meat and egg burgers for free, which is over a hundred yuan. Should I skip it tomorrow?

Also, everyone is the small business owner's customer, so why is it that only the fried rice stall owner gets the small business owner's favor? Just because he has a double chin?

The jianbing vendor became increasingly indignant, his gaze fixed on the bag of green vegetables, which looked fresh and delicious.

I'm not watching anymore, hmph.

Once he figures out how to build a good relationship with the boss, maybe the boss will bring him something special next time.

After buying the delicious meat and egg burger, Ya Ya went to the stall selling giant squid and bought fifty skewers of giant squid. Grandpa Fang said that in the future, these snacks would not need to be distributed to them individually, but would be stored in his space, so that Ya Ya could eat them whenever she wanted.

However, Ya Ya had a different idea. She planned to use it as a reward, but she hadn't figured out how to get it yet.

After stuffing the hot food into the cart and closing the lid, Ya Ya waved goodbye to the uncles and aunts who were also setting up stalls, and then headed straight for the commercial city.

She had promised to make new aprons for Aunt Chuntao, her mother-in-law, and Brother Zhao, and she was going to pick out some pretty scraps of fabric.

……

From afar, Cheng You saw a little girl dressed in pink pushing a familiar little cart toward the trade city.

This outfit actually has some taste; it's much better looking than those Foxconn factory uniforms.

Thinking this, Cheng You stood up and quickly went to greet her. Her choice to wait patiently was quite correct.

"Eh? Sister Cheng You, what a coincidence to see you here!" A shadow fell, and Ya Ya looked up at the figure blocking her way.

"Unfortunately, I was waiting for you here."
