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

This little guy is really stingy.

She's secretly looked at all those pretty dresses and skirts online countless times, but hasn't been able to bring herself to order a single one.

She is indeed very generous.

When buying things for the village, he doesn't hesitate about spending hundreds of thousands on cement and tanks. He buys sofas costing thousands of yuan and expensive fabrics without a second thought, only worrying about the quality and style. He also gives away gold jewelry without hesitation.

Even though my face scrunched up with worry as I bought the folding phone I wanted today, I still bought it without hesitation.

Thinking of this, Jie Chi, who was usually carefree and indifferent to everything, felt a little guilty.

He never expected that this thing, which was just a little big, would cost more than 20,000.

Jie Chi covered his head with the phone, lay in a cocoon for a while, then sat up abruptly, turned around and rummaged through the 360-degree surrounding Golden Mountain next to him, carefully picking out a piece that was of suitable quality and size.

When the time is right, let the little cub take this and sell it to her Uncle Cheng for money. With more money, the little cub won't have to worry about spending it, and she'll have more energy too.

He needs to think carefully about what reward to prepare for the little cub next time.

……

Yan Erzhu and Yan Sanya, wearing their novel clothes, squatted in the field catching aphids.

These tiny insects are only the size of a grain of rice. They lie in clusters on the back of wheat leaves, small dots of light green or light yellow, hidden very well, and they are quite difficult to catch with your eyes.

You need to gently lift the wheat leaves and slowly pluck them off with your fingertips.

It makes a slight clicking sound when pressed.

There were also many red spider mites hiding in the field, tiny red dots the size of pinheads, almost invisible unless you looked closely.

The elderly people in Lotus Village don't have very good eyesight, and they were worried that no one could do this kind of work. Just then, three young men joined in. They had just finished eating when they saw the brother and sister begging to do the work, so they sent them to the fields.

Sanya looked at her clothes carefully, afraid that the hem would fall into the dirt and get dirty. This green-spotted robe was given to her by Grandma Cuihua. The robe rustled when she moved, the fabric felt strange, and there was a thin layer of black velvet inside.

I washed my feet with warm water and put on the shoes Grandma Zhao gave me. The shoes had a strange name, called rain boots. The material was stuffy and shiny. After putting them on, the cold wind outside couldn't get in at all. The pants were also given to me by Grandma Zhao. They were a bright yellow, brighter than the flowers on the roadside in summer. They were fluffy and had pretty patterns printed on them, which looked like ducks but not quite.

Erzhu was wearing a pair of liberation shoes that Brother Zhao Hu had given him. He was dressed the same as Sanya.

There were no new shoes available in the village, and they couldn't be sure of their shoe size, so the brother and sister had to find a pair with similar foot sizes.

At first, Nannan bought each of them three pairs of shoes: black cotton shoes, rain boots, and canvas shoes. They couldn't even wear them all, so sharing a few pairs was a piece of cake.

"Brother, it feels like a dream."

Sanya crushed a small insect and gently licked her lips. The taste of the meat porridge still seemed to linger in her mouth.

The meat chunks were firm and plump, sticky and mixed with refined rice. Even just chewing the white rice had a faint sweetness. It was food they had never dared to dream of before. Now, they were dressed in brand new clothes, and their stomachs and bodies felt warm and cozy.

Yan Daya went out with Da Niu and Zhao Hu.

Yan Sanya and Yan Erzhu were not worried.

The three siblings were penniless and had nothing to covet. They were very easygoing and simply followed the instructions given by the village chief, without looking around or asking questions.

"Will my older sister be back tonight?"

"I have no idea."

"I heard there's going to be lunch again, bro. What do you think we'll eat for lunch?"

Upon hearing about food, Erzhu subconsciously licked his lips: "There should be meat to eat, right? We had meat porridge for breakfast."

Sanya frowned slightly. "How can we eat meat every meal? The little bit of minced meat this morning was so delicious. If there's meat at lunch, what kind of life is this? Even the prefect isn't this comfortable. I think a little bit of wild vegetable porridge with a pinch of salt for lunch would be enough to fill us up."

"Little sister, you're right. Wild vegetable porridge is delicious too."

……

In Granny Liu's courtyard, Ji Chuntao and Qiao Chuan sat together, pondering the design of a hat.

Chuan Yatou's drawing of this hat is really beautiful, but she's never seen many of the accessories before. She heard that she learned them from some video by Brother Wei. Chuan Yatou wasn't sure if their skills could turn the drawing into a real object, so she asked her for reference.

Xinghua silently wove new little hats from the grass in her hands, planning to save up fifty before giving them to Nannan to sell.

Xiao Shuanzi and Xiao Douzi squatted on the ground, with a bunch of oddly shaped clay dolls placed in front of them on a wooden board.

"I'm back!"

A gentle breeze swept through the courtyard, stirring up a thin layer of dust on the ground.

Ya Ya's clear and cheerful voice rang out in the courtyard.

The once quiet and peaceful courtyard seemed to have been turned on, suddenly becoming lively.

"Is Nannan back?"

"Go and call the village chief and Fang Tiesheng over."

"Are you tired, sweetie?"

After answering all of her grandparents' questions, Ya Ya put her hands behind her back and coughed in a serious manner: "Ahem, everyone listen to me, clear some space in the yard, I have some good things to put there! It will take a lot of space, even the chairs on the left side need to be moved."

Grandma Liu looked at the spot Ya Ya pointed to. Everyone usually gathered here to do crafts and chat. There were a lot of odds and ends piled up here, and all the chairs were here too.

Since it was Nannan's instruction, everyone immediately got to work without hesitation. The younger and stronger Qiao Chuan, Chun Tao, Xing Hua, and Xiong Bo were responsible for moving heavy items such as chairs and fodder, while the old man sorted and collected the scattered items, placing them all under the eaves of the small earthen house. Even the wooden boards that Xiao Shuanzi and Xiao Douzi used to make clay dolls were moved over.

As Ya Ya looked at the gradually clearing space, she mentally compared whether there was enough room for the sofa: "We need to move it a little more to make more room, and we also need to take this chair away."

Once the yard was tidied up, the village chief, Fang Tiesheng, and Doctor Chen arrived in a hurry.

Looking at the empty, cleared courtyard, Fang Tiesheng was full of doubt. What was she going to put there?! Could it be that his daughter was planning to put a big jar in the yard?

Seeing that everyone had stopped and stood back, and that Grandpa Fang and the village chief had also arrived, Ya Ya clapped her hands and said, "Everyone, step back, I'm going to put my things away!"

Everyone stared intently at the open space on the east side of the courtyard.

The next moment, two large pieces appeared out of nowhere on the open ground. They were wide and large, resembling a couch but not quite, with one side long and the other side extending out a slightly shorter section. When the two were put together, they formed a rectangle, creating a smaller rectangle in the middle, large enough to fit a small table.

Two entrances/exits were left at the splicing point, allowing people to walk in through them.

"What...what is this?"

"How can it be so big?"

"Is that the bed over there? This one could sleep at least ten people!"
