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

Xiong Bo reached out and pulled out a piece of clothing, stretched it out and shook it a couple of times.

"Oh my, it's so dry, not a drop of water! They managed to wring out such a thick coat; it'll definitely dry quickly when I hang it up to air dry! And it smells so good! It even smells better than the perfume balm in the shops in the prefectural city!"

"Brother Bear, where are my puppy pants? The white ones, get them out for me!" Da Niu shouted from the back, unable to squeeze in.

Xiong Bo took out the fleece pants belonging to Zhao Hu and Da Niu.

"Hey! It's so clean! How did you wash it? Just spin it around in a cylinder and it's clean? Mmm, (╯▽╰ ) It smells so good~~" Da Niu held the pants with a look of pure delight.

"My white pants were all grayish before, and the cuffs had several mud spots. Even after rubbing them off, there were still marks. Wow, they're so clean now, you can't even see the marks anymore!"

Zhao Hu looked at the yellow duck pants in his hand. These were the first pants his daughter had ever bought, and he was the first one to try them on. He wore them for a long time before finally giving up on the pants with many pockets that they bought later.

After washing in the washing machine and wringing it dry, it felt light and airy, unlike when hand-washed and wrung out. I figured it would dry overnight. The yellow base color became even brighter, and it had a pleasant scent.

The village chief ran into the inner room and looked at the vat of sewage. "We washed seven or eight items, and the water used for the whole thing seems to be less than what we used to wash them ourselves, and it's still clean."

"From now on, everyone can use the washing machine to wash their clothes, and the water used for washing can be used to flush the toilet. No more freezing hands in the cold weather." Dr. Chen put his hands behind his back and looked into the tub as well.

"There's still plenty left in that tub. I reckon it can wash about ten pieces at a time, less if they're thick coats. We'll change them off and wash them in batches when the weather gets warmer in a couple of months," Fang Tiesheng muttered to himself as he took notes.

"Hey? What time is it? Has our little girl come back yet? Are you worried if you don't see her for a while?" The village chief strolled to the bathroom and made room for the villagers who were watching the commotion. Suddenly, he remembered that none of them were in the yard tonight.

"It's about time. They must have something else to do that's keeping them late. If Nannan arrives, Chuntao will come and tell us."

……

The supermarket was huge. Ya Ya and Jie Chi took pictures and looked around with their phones all the way. They lingered longer when they saw something they wanted to eat or use. They had only just reached the toy and doll section.

Rows of shelves were filled with all kinds of plush toys, with the largest ones on the bottom shelf. One of the plush toys on the bottom shelf was almost as tall as Ya Ya.

"These are all toys, you can hold them and play with them," Jie Chi said casually to Ya Ya, staring at the strangely shaped dolls.

Ya Ya's gaze was fixed on a light brown bear. The bear was all furry, and its two round ears had pink fabric sewn on the front.

The plush fur looks incredibly fluffy.

She reached out her little hand and gently touched the bear's shiny black nose, then stroked its soft fur. The plush texture made the little one's eyes light up.

It would be so comfortable to cuddle with this bear and sleep in it, wouldn't it? You could snuggle into its soft belly.

Ya Ya looked down at the price tag, which read 199. That price could buy so many clothes.

While taking photos along the shelves with her phone, Jie Chi glanced at the little guy beside her. This little cub's eyes practically popped out of their sockets the moment it entered this area. The shelves were filled with colorful rabbit, dog, and cat plush toys in various shapes, as well as many strange ones shaped like mushrooms and fruits.

She had looked at those big bears down there at least a dozen times, and even after she had passed them, she kept sneaking back.

Without asking any questions, Jie Chi dragged the shopping cart back a couple of steps, reached out and pulled out the big bear, stuffed it into the bottom of the shopping cart, and squeezed it in with the four lamp boxes.

"Grandma Duck, what are you going to do with this?" Ya Ya asked, puzzled.

"I like it."

Ya Ya's eyes instantly curved into two little crescent moons, and she happily half-squatted down to touch the teddy bear's furry hands sticking out below: "Really? Grandma Duck, I like this too! We like the same things!"

fool.

Jie Chi didn't reply, silently rolled her eyes, and turned to continue strolling forward.

Ya Ya didn't care that Grandma Duck ignored her. She just kept holding hands with Xiong Xiong and slowly walked with the shopping cart, her lips curled up high.

"Grandma Duck, make sure to order plenty of these seasonings! Aunt Chuntao loves cooking, and so does Sister Sanya. Aunt Chuntao has now taken Sister Sanya as her apprentice, so Sister Sanya will definitely want some too."

Besides, I'm the senior sister, so I have to take care of my junior sister.

Ya Ya didn't say it aloud.

"Okay, okay, film them all." Jie Chi held up his phone and slowly recorded the rows of bottles and jars.

The condiment area was close to the exit. After taking pictures of this area, the two followed the signs and walked to the outermost exit area of ​​the supermarket.

The shelves on both sides reached their end, and suddenly the space opened up before us, revealing a vast expanse of home textiles and clothing. From children's thermal underwear, pajamas, coats, shoes, and socks to adults' clothing, everything was available.

All the seasonal sales were piled up in a large square cart, with small red and yellow signs in the middle saying things like "clearance," "promotion," and "discount."

"Wow!"

Ya Ya exclaimed "Wow!" and dropped Xiong Xiong's hand, running off in a flash.

"So many beautiful clothes! Grandma Duck, come quick!"

While online marketplaces offer a wide variety of beautiful clothes, none can compare to the sheer spectacle of seeing them in person.

In the middle, the large shopping cart was piled high with clothes, with prices ranging from 9.9 to 99.9. On both sides, there were some seasonal clothes with prices displayed on hangers. The children's clothing rack was a bit lower, with all sorts of puffy skirts crammed together, their colors blending together like a long, colorful little river.

"There are thermal underwear here too! Floral thermal underwear too! And ones with holes too!" Ya Ya picked up a pair of light yellow thermal underwear with small purple floral patterns and gently touched the leg in her hand.

I only bought thermal underwear once before, and that was based on the number of people. Brother Da Niu and Sister Daya didn't have any thermal underwear on hand.

I never saw that auntie who had the stall again when I went back. The long underwear and undershirts that Brother Da Niu and Sister Xing Hua are wearing are still sewn by Grandma Wang from scraps of cloth.

This place has such a complete selection, I can buy so much!

Ya Ya reached out and touched each piece of clothing one by one. The rows of soft, brand-new fabrics were a delight to see.

"Ew? Grandma would look so good in this outfit!" Ya Ya's eyes fell on a set of light red patterned elderly walking clothes. She imagined what her grandma would look like in this outfit and couldn't help but chuckle.

That fan is just right. When I lead everyone in square dancing, Grandma will be the most eye-catching and beautiful person in Lotus Village!

"Grandma Duck, could you please take this outfit down and put it in the big shopping cart? I'm going to buy it for you."
