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

"Hey? Grandpa Village Chief, Grandma Village Chief, Grandpa Fang, Brother Da Niu, Uncle Zhao, Aunt Chun Tao, why are you all still here so late? Grandma Village Chief, aren't you tired? Why don't you go to sleep first?"

Ya Ya stood at the end of the kang (a heated brick bed), her two thin little arms tightly wrapped around a huge plush bear.

All eyes in the room fell on the little baby on the kang (a heated brick bed). What was the little girl holding in her arms?

"Hey! What is this thing? How come it's so big and covered in hair!" Da Niu stared wide-eyed.

Grandma Liu straightened up and replied with a smile, "Grandma isn't sleepy. I just took a nap and woke up feeling great."

Ya Ya hugged the teddy bear, kicked off her shoes, and then laboriously moved it to Grandma Liu's pillow. She patted the teddy bear's soft body and said excitedly to Grandma Liu, "Grandma, look, this is the big teddy bear that Grandma Duck bought. I'm borrowing it to hug for a while. It's so soft! It'll be warm and cozy to sleep with it. Tonight, I'll put it on the kang (heated brick bed) and let it sleep with us."

Bear?

So this is what bears look like in that area? This bear puppet is really interesting!

Grandma Liu reached out and placed her palm on the bear's round belly, her fingertips sinking into the fluffy fur. "Oh, this body is so soft and smooth to the touch."

Ji Chuntao also came over and touched it: "Is what's filling this in? Is it cotton?"

Ya Ya shook her head: "I don't know either. Grandpa Fang, Grandpa Village Chief, could you please collect all the notebooks on the table? I need to put something out!"

"Grandma Duck took me to a brand new place today called Dafa Supermarket! She said it was a reward for my good behavior lately. That supermarket is huge, much bigger than Uncle Manager's store! It has everything. There are fragrant snacks, lots of canned goods, sausages, milk... basically everything, even clothes!"

As Ya Ya spoke, she drew a large semicircle in front of her with her two little hands.

Everyone in the room looked knowing. They knew Nannan wouldn't delay her return without a reason; there must be something new. And this time, there seemed to be quite a few unusual things! The supermarket—another new place!

Everyone quickly got to work, moving all the paper, pens, and notebooks on the table to the side to clear the space.

With a wave of her little hand, a pile of food appeared on the table.

The three flavors of duck necks were served on white plastic trays, each covered with a thin layer of translucent plastic wrap. Each piece was glistening with oil from the braising, and strands of meat clung to the bones, exuding a rich, savory aroma.

The boneless pig's trotters have translucent skin and meat, are full of collagen, and look plump and tempting, still steaming hot.

The sliced ​​braised beef has a clear meat texture and a slightly reddish hue.

The mixed vegetables were also served in a white plastic container, with green leafy vegetables, white radishes, and red peppers mixed together, glistening with oil, looking refreshing and appetizing.

These braised dishes were nothing new to everyone, but the large pile of oddly shaped, golden-yellow pastries emitting a sweet, milky aroma on the other half of the table was something none of the adults in the room had ever seen before.

The round pineapple bun has a golden crust with a flaky texture, while the croissant, shaped like a cow's horn, is layered with flaky pastry. The round bagel has a round hole in the center, and there are also square slices of toast that are white and soft.

Various kinds of fresh fruits were packed tightly into the bag, looking so juicy and fresh that the table was almost overflowing.

Da Niu and Zhao Hu stood to the side, their throats bobbing. It was worth the wait, it was definitely worth staying up so late!

Ya Ya hugged the bear, resting her chin on its head, and smacked her lips as she said, "Grandma, Grandpa Fang, Grandpa Village Chief, Aunt Chun Tao, these are all things you can try at the supermarket. Grandma Duck and I have tried them all, and they taste great. There are many kind older sisters, aunties, and uncles at the supermarket. They give me little paper bowls, and I can try every food for free."

Grandma Duck even came out to accompany me on a stroll, and we ate a lot.

The supermarket has huge wheeled carts, and the shelves are incredibly tall, even taller than the ceiling of our house. I can't reach them, so Grandma Duck helped me carry everything.

There were TVs on two walls, a refrigerator as big as a door, a white freezer that looked like a yard… I can’t even list them all. Grandma, are you hungry? Try some, it’s all delicious. What do you like to eat? I can come again tomorrow!

Ya Ya raised her chin. "Grandma Duck took pictures of everything in the supermarket with her big phone!"

As she spoke, she pulled out her tri-fold phone and held it up to everyone: "This contains the videos I recorded, a really long one, several of them. The supermarket has a price tag under every item, making shopping very convenient."

Grandpa Fang, here's your phone. Take it home and look at it. Show it to everyone tomorrow. If any of the grandpas and grandmas in the village see anything they like, please write it down so I can go buy it with them. The supermarket also has lots of pretty clothes! They even have pants with holes!

Ya Ya's eyes were a little sleepy, but her little mouth still didn't stop: "Grandpa Fang, everyone hasn't spent the money they earned from weaving shoes and picking wild vegetables and mushrooms yet. And Grandma, Sister Qiao Chuan, Sister Xing Hua, Aunt Chun Tao, they've all earned so much. I want everyone to have the opportunity to spend the money they've earned to buy what they want."

This little child, no more than five years old, always considers everything for them and keeps the feelings of everyone in the village in mind.

The village chief looked at Ya Ya and asked softly, "Well, little girl, you only brought this much food. Didn't you buy anything for yourself? Clothes, toys, anything?"

Ya Ya tilted her head: "I bought them! I bought three outfits! I even bought one for Grandma. The bear one was too big. Grandma bought one, but she lent it to me, so I didn't buy one."

"Oh, right, Grandpa Village Chief, I also bought four table lamps. Grandma will keep one in her room, Aunt Chun Tao will take one, and Grandpa Fang and Grandpa Chen, who like to read, will each get one. Grandma Duck said these lamps are good for the eyes; they'll light the room at night for reading and working without straining the eyes. I'll ask Uncle Xiong to help me charge them; they'll light up without needing to be plugged in when fully charged."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ya Ya waved her hand again, and four square boxes appeared on the ground beside the kang (a heated brick bed). Then she took out a large plastic bag: "Inside are my and my mother-in-law's new clothes."

Ya Ya thought back for a moment and realized that she hadn't missed anything for the time being. She felt relieved, let out a big yawn, and her eyelids started to droop.

"Tomorrow I'm going to deliver the 'mountain and sea dumplings' that Auntie made to Sister Chengyou and Sister Hemiao. I need to go to sleep now."

As he spoke, the little guy slid off the kang (a heated brick bed), wobbled as he put on his shoes, and solemnly handed the phone to Fang Tiesheng: "Grandpa Fang, please keep this safe. Remember to ask everyone what they want to buy tomorrow, and write it down in your little notebook so I can buy it tomorrow night."

"Grandma, let's go wash our faces and brush our teeth!" After explaining everything, Ya Ya turned around and waved her little hand to Grandma Liu.

Liu Xiao'e gently wiped her eyes with the back of her hand: "Okay, coming right away."

(Wishing everyone a happy National Day holiday in advance! I'll be resting tomorrow and won't be updating, so don't come here for nothing ღ( ´･ᴗ･` ).)
