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

Fang Tiesheng stroked his beard: "Darling, could this be the sofa you mentioned before?"

"Yes, Grandpa Fang, it's the sofa!" Ya Ya nodded emphatically.

Xiong Bo stood aside and looked at it. At first glance, this thing called a sofa looked like a big lump of dirt. He had only known the name and thought it was something covered with sand. It turned out to be a chair.

He tried to reach out and touch it.

"Oh my! It looks so smooth, but it's covered in fur and so soft!"

The village chief also stepped forward and pressed the sofa seat. With a little force, it sank slightly, feeling very soft and springy.

Ya Ya was the first to jump onto the sofa: "Everyone, please sit down! I specially arranged a path so you can come in from there. Please sit down, the sofa is so soft and comfortable!"

As she spoke, she kicked off her shoes, crawled back and forth along the sofa, and rolled twice on the chaise lounge to demonstrate to the villagers: "Look, it's so wide, you won't fall off no matter how you roll, it's so soft."

"Everyone, go in one by one from both sides of the path, take your time and try it out," the village chief instructed the villagers to go in one by one.

The elderly were extra careful, cautiously sitting down little by little. As soon as their bottoms touched the ground, their bodies sank slightly.

"So soft?"

Ya Ya sat cross-legged to the side, staring at Grandma Liu: "Grandma, sit further inside. You need to lean back against the upright backrest for the most comfortable position. If you just sit on the edge, you'll easily slip off."

Hearing this from not far away, Xiong Bo sat down steadily with a thud, leaning back and resting his neck on the protruding cylindrical part of the backrest.

This feels so good!

Xiong Bo sprawled out on the sofa, letting out a long sigh of relief: "Oh my god, this is so comfortable! I wouldn't even sit on a dragon throne if you gave me a sofa like this!"

"Oh dear, Master Xiong, you can't say that! It's a capital offense!"

Grandma Liu gripped her sleeves and carefully used the backs of her knees to slowly sit down, as Nannan insisted on sitting fully. As soon as her bottom sank in, the cushioning gently sagged under pressure, a feeling of unease that made her heart skip a beat, and her back instinctively leaned back. But when her back pressed against the backrest, and her lower back and neck were firmly supported, the aches and stiffness accumulated from years of labor eased considerably.

Her eyes widened slightly: "Wow, this thing is as soft as a warm quilt but it doesn't collapse. It's so comfortable to sit on. I don't have to sit upright all the time and I don't have to worry about my back getting tired."

Xiao Shuanzi and Xiao Douzi couldn't contain themselves any longer. They imitated their older sister Ya Ya, crawling back and forth on the sofa using all four limbs. Xiao Shuanzi watched as the small dent he made slowly bounced back, finding it incredibly fascinating.

The sofa was packed with people, but there was still plenty of room left.

Old Sun leaned back on the sofa, gazing at the empty space in the middle, already planning how to use it. He'd put a low, square wooden table in the middle, make some shelves to store hay, needles, and thread, and then he could use it to weave straw sandals and small hats.

I just don't know if this big chair called a sofa is easy to clean.

"Daughter, isn't it a bit inappropriate to leave this velvet sofa outside? It might get damaged if rain gets in." Fang Tiesheng looked up at the simple shed above.

Grandma Liu's large courtyard was built by everyone together. They took into account that everyone in the village would often work and eat in the courtyard, so half of the courtyard was covered with a shed. However, if it rains too heavily or there is wind, such a large sofa will inevitably get splashed with some rainwater.

"Grandpa Fang, I saw a video of a young lady splashing water on the sofa and it didn't get wet at all. The water just slid off by itself, so I bought this one. It's waterproof!" Ya Ya said confidently, touching the fabric of the sofa.

She wouldn't have bought it if she hadn't seen that the water droplets wouldn't get it wet!

"Really?" Fang Tiesheng touched the sofa fabric again in surprise. Could it be the same as the fur of wild animals in the mountains? As long as it doesn't get wet, it won't be soaked through, just like a small mountain animal shaking off water droplets.

"Really!"

Previously, everyone was worried that the expensive-looking sofa would be damaged by wind, rain and sun if left in the yard. But now that they heard this, they felt relieved.

"Wow!"

Sanya and Erzhu returned to the yard carrying two bunches of dried wild vegetables and saw a large, square-shaped object that had appeared out of nowhere, filled with people.

Where did this huge bench come from? It was as big as a house. Sanya had never seen anything like it before and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Everyone's back?" Ji Chuntao smiled and stood up. "Wash your hands first. What did you pick?"

"Auntie, this is the violet flower that my brother and I found in the field. It's good for your throat when you make a soup, and it can also be a good addition to everyone's meals."

The violets were dry and the stems were old because it hadn't rained for a while, so they weren't very palatable. But Sanya and Erzhu were used to it; they couldn't bear to throw away any food that was still edible, so they would always pick it.

Ji Chuntao reached out and took the wild vegetables, then gently patted Sanya's thin back: "From now on, we don't need to pick these kinds of dried-out vegetables anymore. If we want to pick wild vegetables, the village chief will arrange for everyone to go together. Go wash your hands, and once you're clean, you can try out the new sofa. It's so comfortable!"

Erzhu silently repeated the word "sofa" in his mind; the word sounded rather strange.

Ji Chuntao spread the dandelion flowers out under the eaves. Since she had picked them, she couldn't let them go to waste. After drying them, she could let Doctor Chen keep them; they would be a good medicinal material.

After placing the wild vegetables, she led the two to the corner of the yard where the water vat and storage tank were kept. "Use a small basin to collect water under here. This is called a faucet. Turn it to the right to make water come out, and turn it to the left to turn it off."

Erzhu nodded silently, holding the basin. They had washed it once before breakfast, but no one had taught them how; Grandma Wang had just helped fetch the water.

The brother and sister stared at the faucet with curiosity, reluctant to let out more water, only managing to fill it to the brim. They also only touched the edges of the sulfur soap next to them.

After carefully washing away the dirt from under their fingernails and pouring the muddy water into a special bucket for storing sewage, Erzhu and Sanya turned around awkwardly.

"Come on, come with your aunt. You haven't officially greeted everyone yet, have you? Our village is a little different. You'll understand once you settle in and get to know us. Zhao Hu and Da Niu are reliable people, so don't worry too much about your older sister. It's normal for her to come back late because it's a long way from home."
