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

Ya Ya walked out of the fitting room with a blush on her face.

Her hair was no longer styled in two small buns; instead, the sales assistant had carefully styled it into two round little dumplings that hung behind her ears, and she wore a flat, round brown beret on her head.

She tugged at her skirt somewhat awkwardly.

My legs felt chilly when I was trying on the clothes, so my sister went out and bought me a pair of off-white tights, just like the ones Uncle Zhao bought earlier. They're wrapped tightly around my legs, and while they're warm, I feel strange all over; I'm not used to it.

I didn't feel anything with the cloth strap around my neck, and it wasn't hanging out. My sister helped me tuck it into my vest, with only half of it sticking out. It actually looked kind of nice!

Ya Ya carefully took two steps and tried to turn around.

The pleats of the skirt spread out as it swayed, like an open umbrella.

"Our baby looks so cute in this outfit, so adorable!" The sales assistant looked at the little brown dumpling in front of her, her eyes full of satisfaction with her dressing up.

She called me baby again!

Ya Ya's face flushed bright red: "Is it really pretty?"

She moved her arms and tugged at her skirt. The plaid skirt was just the right length to her knees, swaying gently as she walked.

"Of course it looks good! Our baby is so beautiful and cute."

The repeated calls of "baby" made Ya Ya's ears turn as red as lanterns.

"Then...then I'll go look in the mirror."

"Okay, come this way." The sales assistant led Ya Ya to the mirror, then remembered something else, "Oh, right, baby, take a look here first, and I'll go find you another coat. It'll be a bit cold wearing just this outfit in this season."

She didn't intend to sell more clothes through bundled sales; she just remembered that the child's coat seemed to be an adult's work uniform, loose and almost reaching the calves, like a big bag on his body.

The rainbow sweater and jeans inside fit perfectly, but I don't know why the coat is so different.

The sales assistant quickly found a light blue windbreaker in the discount section, specifically choosing a size larger, with the hem estimated to reach the little guy's bottom. He can wear it even with thicker layers underneath, or as he grows taller.

When Jie Chi saw Ya Ya's new outfit, his eyes lit up. He stopped eating his potato chips, quietly cleaned his hands, and walked to the mirror. His gaze fell on Ya Ya's pleated skirt: "Little cub, turn around and show this god."

Ya Ya gently tiptoed and spun around in place.

The plaid pleated skirt spun open, the neat pleats billowing out like a round mushroom umbrella. The interplay of light and dark brown plaid swayed as she turned. When she stopped, the skirt slowly fell back down, the pleats overlapping neatly and pressing back against her legs.

"Oh my, this dress is interesting. Make one for me too."

Ya Ya's eyes lit up, and she said that Grandma Duck liked the same things as her, including bears and skirts.

"Okay, okay! Grandma Duck, what color do you want? We'll go get it later and have Auntie change it when we get back."

"Yellow, or gold, perhaps. This dress is quite nice."

A saleswoman holding a windbreaker nearby happened to overhear the conversation between the two, and stood still, blinking hard and rubbing her ears.

Did she hear that right?

Is this your uncle? Does your uncle want to buy a little dress?

The older generation's hobbies are really something else!

She rubbed her face vigorously, composed herself, coughed lightly, and stepped forward: "Hello, this is a coat I picked out for your child. Would you like your child to try it on?"

Ya Ya looked up and saw that the clothes in her sister's hands were a very light blue, like the morning sky, pale and without any fancy patterns. There were only a few zippers that could barely serve as decorations, somewhat like Brother Zhao's purple clothes.

Ya Ya took the coat and wrapped it around herself, rubbing the sleeves back and forth with her little hands, making a rustling sound.

"This is a windproof jacket, for outdoor wear. It's windproof and waterproof. Right now, it's on sale with the brand, 40% off, so it's a pretty good deal."

Discount? 40% off?

A 50% discount means it's only half the price, and a 60% discount shouldn't be much more than half, meaning it's significantly cheaper than usual! Ya Ya's eyes lit up when she heard the word "discount".

"Sister, how much does all of this outfit I'm wearing, including the green skirt and this dress, cost in total?"

"A total of 328."

Three sets of clothes cost 300 yuan. Ya Ya calculated that it was within her acceptable range.

"Add another dress like the one I'm wearing, either gold or yellow. Could you please pack them up for me while I go change?"

"Okay!" The young lady smiled and accompanied Ya Ya to the fitting room to change clothes.

"By the way, Grandma Duck, did you take pictures of all the clothes? Especially the undershirts and thermal underwear, make sure to take clear pictures!" Ya Ya peeked her little head out from the crack in the fitting room door.

Jie Chi was taken aback; he had been so focused on eating that he had completely forgotten about it.

"Ahem, go change your clothes, I'll go take the photos right away."

The sales assistant at the fitting room door couldn't help but smirk. Oh my god...

This baby's parents are probably anime/manga fans, because they talk in a rather chuunibyou way and have similar hobbies.

……

Grandma Liu took a short nap. When she woke up, Ya Ya had not yet returned. Ji Chun Tao was also a little sleepy and sat on the edge of the kang, yawning incessantly.

She was thinking about the "mountain and sea dumplings" that Ya Ya had brought to the shop. She wondered if everyone thought the taste was too bland, and if there was anything she would like to adjust.

Fang Tiesheng had already spread out his notebook. He had a feeling that there must be a big surprise waiting for them after staying for so long.

Da Niu and Zhao Hu also came down from the mountain and sat at the table.

"Erzhu and Daya arrived just in time. We originally estimated that it would take at least three days to completely seal that breach up there..." Zhao Hu said with a sip of water.

"Absolutely. Not only did they seal up the opening, they also dug the ditch for me. Tomorrow, besides building the wall, we can also plaster the ditch."

The village chief nodded. The three Yan siblings were like three tireless calves, never resting since arriving in Lotus Village. Their originally slow progress seemed to have been accelerated.

"Da Niu, Hu Zi, you must be tired these past two days, go and rest early. We'll take care of things here. Tomorrow we still have to drive the pigs and horses to the new pigpen, there's a lot of work to do."

Xiong Bo and Qiao Chuan both went to bed early, saying they were resting to recharge for continuing to build the house the next day.

Da Niu chuckled, rubbing his belly and revealing a set of bright white teeth: "Uncle Village Chief, no rush. I can wait a little longer. I want to see what good things Nannan has encountered this time, since she hasn't come back yet."

It must taste delicious.

Zhao Hu, who shared the same thought, nodded in agreement.

"Chuntao, what about you?"

"I'll wait a bit longer."

Unable to persuade him, the village chief stopped urging him and simply continued to trace characters from Ya Ya's "King of Literacy" book with a headache on his face.
