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

Yan Erzhu and Yan Sanya nodded blankly and followed Ji Chuntao into the courtyard.

When the two of them arrived, everyone greeted them with smiles: "Come and sit down, there must be a lot of bugs in the field, come and rest for a while."

"Not many, we came back after we finished picking that patch." Erzhu stood to the side, not daring to sit down.

Sanya looked at the elders filling the courtyard, her head slightly lowered, her cheeks a little hot.

There wasn't this much of a commotion this morning.

Everyone in the courtyard was staring at him, making him so nervous that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet. Yan Erzhu next to him wasn't much better off.

"Dear uncles, aunts, grandpas and grandmas, my name is Yan Sanya, this is my second brother, Yan Erzhu, and my eldest sister is Yan Daya."

Sanya paused, swallowed, and continued honestly, "We'll be settling down in the village, and we're afraid we'll cause everyone a lot of trouble. My brother and I are both hardworking and strong. We can do any kind of rough or tiring work—weeding, catching insects, harvesting, hoeing, grinding grain, cleaning the pigsty—we're willing to do it all. We won't slack off. If there's anything you need, just tell us. We're quick and efficient and won't be a burden to anyone."

After she finished speaking, she bowed slightly and quietly took half a step closer to Yan Erzhu, her ears turning red.

Erzhu chuckled and scratched his head, "Yeah, we can do anything."

The village chief waved his hand, "There's no rush for the work. We'll assign you tasks when Da Niu and the others return. Take a break first."

Ya Ya silently memorized the name that Sister San Ya had just mentioned.

New people have come to the village. Grandpa Zhang gave us a lot of clothes before, so we don't need to buy any. But shoes were bought according to the number of people, so we don't have any extras. We'll have to go to Auntie's place tonight to find some new shoes.

Guided by others, the brother and sister carefully walked to the sofa and slowly sat down sideways. As soon as their bottoms touched the cushions, the cushions gently sank in.

Sanya's eyes widened slightly.

The hand supporting itself on the sofa pressed down harder, and it was surprisingly soft and bouncy!

Everyone in the courtyard was kind and friendly, with smiles on their faces, but they still kept their distance and tacitly avoided talking about anything related to Nannan or that fairyland.

They only picked up on idle gossip and small talk.

The village chief only said he would accept her, not that he could completely trust her. He said he would have to observe her for a while longer. Everything else could be revealed temporarily, but Nannan's abilities absolutely could not be revealed on the very first day they met.

Grandma Liu held Ya Ya in her arms, glancing at the two new young men from time to time, afraid that the little sieve in her arms might accidentally spill something again.

Ya Ya, oblivious to her elders' subtle misunderstandings, darted her big eyes around and landed on Ji Chuntao: "Aunt Chuntao! Should we give the sewing machine to Uncle Xiong too…?"

The village chief coughed lightly, and Grandma Liu quickly hugged Ya Ya. This little rascal really hadn't caused us any trouble.

"Nannan, you go inside with Grandpa. Old Fang, Doctor Chen, Brother Xiong, and... Chun Tao, come along too."

"Okay!" Ya Ya crawled out of her mother-in-law's arms and put on her shoes.

"Grandpa Fang, shall we go get some water?"

"No rush. After lunch, we'll go to the river again and then go into the mountains to bring the mountain stream water into the jar."

"Perfect timing! I'll go check out the mountains too. After the stream is drained, the little fish and shrimp inside can be used to make a dish I've always wanted to try," Ji Chuntao chimed in, listening to Fang Tiesheng and Ya Ya's conversation.

"Aunt Chuntao is making new dishes again?" Ya Ya's eyes lit up. Wouldn't that mean the shop would be selling new things again? Uncle Wei and his family had come from a very far place, specifically to eat at the shop. They would definitely be happy if there were new dishes to eat in the next few days.

"Yes, but I don't think it's very good to sell this new dish in the store. Auntie is going to go into the mountains to see how much ingredient she can get."

"Come in and sit down. What did you buy this time, little fairy? Did you manage to buy those insulators and pipes?" Xiong Bo rubbed his hands together and eagerly stepped forward to smooth out the wrinkles in the cloth covering the kang (heated brick bed).

With a thought, Ya Ya took out a few small items from her spatial storage.

"Grandpa Fang, I spent a total of 200,000 and 2,000 at Brother Zhao's place on this trip, and also bought some food for Grandma Duck."

Fang Tiesheng paused, pen in hand. "What? So much? What did you buy?"

He roughly calculated when he wrote the list that it shouldn't cost 200,000.

"Brother Zhao bought these according to the list, six big jars and a whole bunch of other things." Ya Ya said, pointing to each item with her fingers: "This is a toolbox, even bigger than the one Brother Zhao lent us before. These two are USB drives, given to me by Uncle Yu. We agreed to return them to him, but Uncle Yu said we didn't need to, and even gave us an extra USB drive."

He said it also contained many cartoons and information about electricity.

Ya Ya sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), resting her chin on her hand, and carefully recalled the events.

Fang Tiesheng remained calm and did not urge her, writing down everything Ya Ya said one by one.

"Grandpa Fang, please take a look at the list first. This is a list that Uncle Cheng, Sister Cheng You, and Uncle Yu Gong helped me check. It has prices and items listed. I need to think about what else is on it..."

"And I gave all fifty of the little hats that Sister Xinghua made to Sister He Miao. Oh! Right!" Ya Ya suddenly sat up straight.

"What's wrong, little one?"

Ya Ya's eyes sparkled as she exclaimed, "There's something else very important! When I got there, Sister Cheng You and Uncle Cheng were already waiting for me at the door. Uncle Cheng is Sister Cheng You's father. He said that they had underpaid me for the big gourd I sold to Sister Cheng You before, so they transferred another 1.08 million to me."

"What?!"

Everyone in the room gaped, speechless with astonishment.

That gourd is so valuable?

One million eight hundred thousand is already a very high price, how could it be another one million eight hundred thousand?

"That means I have another 1.08 million! Also, Uncle Cheng's phone is different from mine. His looks like a small book, and it can be opened and closed. Grandma Duck likes it, so I asked Brother Zhao to buy Grandma Duck a phone too. Brother Zhao even bought me the medicine to kill the bugs."

The phone cost over 20,000 yuan. Uncle Xiong, should I take out the sewing machine? There's still one that hasn't been assembled yet!

Fang Tiesheng slowly recovered from the shock of the one million, silently going over the accounts in his mind. So that's where the missing amount came from. The phone that the Dragon God had his eye on was quite expensive.

Xiong Bo clicked his tongue, feeling that his skills were not very useful, since the little fairy Ya Ya could easily make millions.

But what did I just say, a sewing machine?

He slapped his thigh and said, "Take it out, take it out, I'll pretend it right now."

The village chief waved his hand, "Grandma Liu's house is too small. Let's go to Doctor Chen's courtyard. Remember to bring the medicine. That young boss Zhao is really a thoughtful person. He even made a trip for such a small amount of medicine."

Dr. Chen, carrying the plastic bag containing the medicine, said, "Let's go."

He couldn't wait to go back and study it; there was more than just deworming medicine in that bag—there were many other things too.

Having learned from assembling the sewing machine the night before, Xiong Bo quickly and efficiently assembled the remaining sewing machine in about half an incense stick's time.

Ji Chuntao leaned forward, gently pressing the pedal. The needle moved up and down smoothly and without any hesitation. She stopped, reached out and gently patted the machine, her eyes and brows full of joy.

"Great! Now that we have this sewing machine, the process of making dresses for Fairy He Miao and Fairy Cheng You will be much faster!"

She lovingly stroked the cold metal casing; she used one herself, and there was another one...

Xinghua and Chuanya both have work to do and can't spare the time, so it would be good if the newcomer could learn the skills. Daya seems like a good worker, and Sanya is also clever.

With a couple more people helping out, we won't have to worry about making hats, clothes, and bedding in the future.

Thinking about it, Ji Chuntao's gaze drifted gently towards Granny Liu's courtyard, hoping that the three siblings of the Yan family could pass the village chief and Aunt Guixiang's inspection as soon as possible and stay in the village.
