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

Chen Lei's shop business has been so-so lately, with stable revenue but no profit or loss. However, his Happy Beans have been increasing rapidly, with him getting top-tier cards one after another.

It's as if all the lively atmosphere and popularity have been turned into cold, lifeless "Happy Beans".

In just a few days, he went from being one of the three thousand low-income households to a tycoon with six million soybeans.

I was playing a high-level game, and in the first round, four sharp cards were dealt. I was considering whether to reveal my hand when suddenly a long-lost soft, sweet voice came from the doorway: "Uncle Manager!"

Chen Lei looked up abruptly and saw that familiar little figure. He quickly pressed the button on the laptop, tossed his phone aside, and walked around the counter. "Hey, Ya Ya's here. She seems to have grown quite a bit taller and a little chubby!" As he spoke, he gestured to show the height of Ya Ya compared to the counter.

Ya Ya's eyes lit up, and she looked up at the sky, exclaiming, "Really? I've grown taller!"

"Yes, you've grown taller!" Chen Lei said with a smile. "It's been a long time since I've been to your uncle's place. What would you like to buy today? Or is there something else you need to see me about?"

Ya Ya moved the trolley to the front, took out a bright green bamboo food box from it, and gently placed it on the corner of the counter.

"Uncle Manager, Aunt Chuntao made something delicious, I've come to bring you some."

"Oh dear, how could I possibly ask for this? You're thinking of your uncle even though there's something delicious to eat. What is it?" Chen Lei asked, rubbing his hands together and taking a deep breath. A sweet and savory aroma wafted from the bamboo food box.

It looks like a fish?

Ya Ya tiptoed and lifted the lid of the food box. "These are 'mountain and sea dumplings' made from fish and shrimp that I caught in the river with Grandpa Village Chief, Grandma Li, and Aunt Chun Tao. They're mixed with wild vegetables and bamboo shoots, and the outer skin is made from beans ground by Sister Daya. They're chewy and delicious! Uncle Shopkeeper, here are two for you. I'm saving the rest to share with others!"

"Oh, it's a limited edition. Uncle, you'd better have a good taste." Chen Lei looked at the exquisite triangular pastries in the box that looked like little sandbags and subconsciously swallowed.

Turning around, he pulled out a pair of disposable chopsticks left over from a takeout order from the counter drawer, picked one up, opened his mouth wide, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Ya Ya quickly whispered a reminder: "Uncle Manager, be careful, it's hot! There's soup inside."

Chen Lei opened his mouth a little smaller and gently bit a small opening with his teeth, and the soup instantly spread in his mouth.

"Slurp~ This soup is so delicious, and it's really hot. Your box looks like it's well-ventilated and keeps things warm!" Chen Lei finished a sea cucumber in a few bites and gave Ya Ya a thumbs up.

He packed the remaining one in a small box, intending to take it home for his wife to try after closing time. He had never seen this kind of pastry before. It was beautifully wrapped and would surely look great in photos; his wife would definitely love it.

"Thank you, Ya Ya, for bringing food for your uncle." Chen Lei wiped his hands clean and gently rubbed Ya Ya's head. "Ya Ya is getting prettier and prettier, and her complexion is much better."

Ya Ya looked up at the shopkeeper and grinned, revealing her white teeth. Her gaze swept around the shop before landing on the basket of Heyman toothpaste next to her. After thinking for a moment, she quietly took out a small box from her spatial storage and placed it on Chen Lei's cash register.

"And this, Uncle Manager, this is for you too."

Chen Lei thought it was some kind of food again, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was a tube of fruit-flavored crystal gel toothpaste. He couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time: "Why are you giving your uncle toothpaste? Your uncle has plenty in his shop."

Could it be that my stomach has been upset lately, and the fumes have affected the baby?

"This smells really good. It's cool and sweet when you brush it on your mouth, and it looks pretty too," Ya Ya explained earnestly to the shop manager.

None of the toothpastes in the store are as pretty as this one. The store manager must have never seen such a beautiful and effective toothpaste before.

The store manager has always taken good care of me, secretly giving me a lot of discounts. Now that I can find such a good place as a supermarket to buy good toothpaste, I want to share it with the store manager.

Good things should be shared so that everyone can use them together.

Chen Lei had no idea what Ya Ya was thinking; he just assumed it was a child who thought it was pretty. Anyway, a tube of toothpaste wasn't expensive, and as long as he didn't smell bad, it was fine.

He immediately accepted it with a smile, "Okay, thank you Ya Ya, Uncle will use this toothpaste to brush his teeth before going to bed tonight."

"You're welcome, Uncle Shopkeeper, I'm going to browse inside!" Ya Ya smiled sweetly at the Uncle Shopkeeper, and familiarly grabbed a small wheeled basket from the shelf and walked into the shop.

Although she went to the big supermarket yesterday and will go again today, she still prefers to buy things from the shopkeeper. The buckets and stainless steel bowls there are much more affordable than in the supermarket. The supermarket doesn't have bowls for two yuan, not even in the clearance sale baskets with red and yellow signs!

Now there are more people in the village. Uncle Xiong said that every household may build a new house, and the walls will be equipped with electrical wires and water taps. We will need to buy more buckets, bowls, and thermos flasks.

Ya Ya bought more than ten stainless steel bowls, several buckets and thermos bottles, stacking them together and filling a whole basket.

"Uncle Manager, how much are these?"

Chen Lei glanced at it briefly and said, "Thirty."

Ya Ya crossed her little arms over her chest, puffed out her cheeks, and said, "Uncle Manager, you lied to me again! I counted them myself. I took fifteen bowls alone. At two yuan each, that's thirty bowls!"

"Hey?!" Chen Lei was taken aback, his neck shrank back as he stared at Ya Ya in shock. She's getting harder to fool these days. She's even learned such advanced arithmetic now?

"Uncle Manager, please use this and calculate carefully. I have money now! Really!" Ya Ya stood on tiptoe, picked up the calculator from the counter, and stuffed it into Chen Lei's hand.

"Okay, okay, Uncle will calculate carefully." Chen Lei gave up and took the calculator to calculate one by one. He originally thought of charging two yuan for everything, but then he remembered that he had sold the bucket and thermos to Ya Ya before, and they were now priced. The child was good at math now, so he couldn't knowingly break the rules.

He used to think that Ya Ya's village was poor, so he would always secretly lower the price when he came to buy things, hoping to help her out. But now Ya Ya seems to be doing quite well, and she probably knows that she had been subsidizing the village before.

When Ya Ya clearly requested to be treated normally, and you still stubbornly insisted on giving her a discount, then your goodwill has crossed the line.

The behavior may be well-intentioned, but it actually shows a lack of respect for the other person's current self-perception.

Chen Lei pressed the calculator buttons while thinking.
