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

hat?!

When Ya Ya heard this, her eyes lit up instantly. It was the little hat that Sister Gou Ya and Sister Xing Hua had made!

Sister Gouya and Sister Xinghua would be very happy to hear this news.

"Is it a hat with holes for a kitten or a little finger cap for a baby?"

"Yes, I have both. I sold one kitten hat and three doll hats," He Miao replied, looking at the transaction records.

There were four hats in total, plus a free kitten hat, making a total of five. They were all bought by the same person.

The buyer named Wuyuzi confirmed receipt and wrote a five-star review with pictures just half an hour after SF Express showed that the package had been signed for.

I then took pictures of another three-dimensional wide-brimmed hat decorated with blue stars and moon, a beige layered flat-topped hat with a large bow, and a round-topped kitten hat.

Woolly Roe: [Ahhhhh, Madam!!! !!! Why did it take you so long to finish this?! Waaaaaah TuT~ The photos don't even capture a fraction of the beauty of your hat. Every bead, every silk flower, is hand-sewn, the stitches are even denser than my grandma's! The hat base is also completely hand-woven, super sturdy, and can be bent into any shape—it's amazing!]

Mullet Roe: [Madam, just kidding, do you take custom orders? Are there any waiting lists? How long is the production time? I can wait~ Madam, please place your orders! By the way, these few orders aren't urgent, Madam, just send them via regular courier~ [cat heart emoji]]

Seeing the numerous messages popping up on Xianyu (a secondhand marketplace app), He Miao clutched her chest and exclaimed in amazement at her luck. She had encountered a wonderful buyer on her very first order. The young lady was wealthy and generous, took beautiful photos, and was also very polite!

As for customization, He Miao thought for a moment and looked at the dozens of small straw hats left in the basket. To be precise, these were custom-made based on drawings, so she should be able to accept them, right?

But He Miao didn't rush to give an answer; she still needed to confirm with the villagers of Ya Ya Village.

The seedling who ran away with the bucket: [The order from my sister is still uncertain. I'll leave you a message as soon as I have any news. Thanks for the photos, they're much more professional than mine!]

Thinking about what happened that afternoon, He Miao's eyes crinkled into a smile.

"Sister Gouya and Sister Xinghua's have both sold out! That's great!" Ya Ya grinned, ready to tell them the good news as soon as she got back!

"Oh, right, Ya Ya, the customer also asked if we can do custom orders, and how long it takes to make a little straw hat. Go back and ask the older girls; if they can take on that, I'll do it!"

"Custom-made?"

"Yes, it's custom-made. The buyer tells us their requirements, which may include a reference picture or a written description. We make the straw hat according to the buyer's requirements. This will be more expensive and take longer," He Miao explained to Ya Ya earnestly.

Ya Ya nodded thoughtfully. Wasn't that the same principle as the chicken soup and spicy stir-fried snails that Grandma Wang had asked for earlier?

"I'll go back and ask, and I'll tell Sister He Miao tomorrow."

"Okay, no rush."

The two chatted for a few more minutes, but Ya Ya was still worried about the construction waste. She quickly said goodbye to Sister He Miao, hung up the phone, and put her phone away.

She pushed her little cart, making a clattering sound, towards the alley behind the commercial center.

I wonder how much garbage is piled up there, whether it will be too much to fit, and whether my absence for a day will cause trouble for Sister Chengyou.

Just as she turned the corner of the alley, Ya Ya spotted Sister Cheng You and Uncle in the yellow round hat standing by the pile of construction waste. Uncle in the yellow hat was holding a large notebook and talking to Sister Cheng You.

Hearing the sound of a cart rolling in the alley behind them, the two turned around and immediately saw the little one pushing the cart.

The man in the yellow hat waved first with a smile: "Kids, you've finally arrived! We didn't see anyone from your village come to collect it all yesterday. I was just telling Boss Cheng that if no one collects this batch of waste today, we'll arrange for a truck to haul it away tomorrow!"

"Pack it up, pack it up, don't take it away!" Ya Ya panicked when she heard this, quickened her pace, and pushed the little cart forward with a whirring sound.

"Slow down, don't rush." ​​Cheng You glared at Yu Gong, then quickly went to Ya Ya and took her stroller, which was surprisingly heavy.

"It's so heavy, what good stuff is inside?"

Cheng You was a little curious. This little guy wanders around the night market by himself every day. What is there to see here? Does he have to buy those scraps of cloth every day?

"It's equipped with an entrenching tool! It's brand new and so useful! My uncles and aunties love it so much, they wear it with them every day!" Ya Ya gestured with her little hands. "It can be disassembled into five or six small sticks, and Big Brother Niu can put them back together in no time to make a big shovel. You can even use it to swat wild boars! You can also use it to till the soil and plant crops. Sister Cheng You, do you want to farm? I'll give you one!"

As she spoke, Ya Ya was about to open the lid of the stroller and take it out.

"No, no, no need." Cheng You stopped Ya Ya. This was too enthusiastic and generous; she couldn't handle it.

Engineer Yu chimed in, "Then just leave all this construction waste here. Let me know if you ever stop collecting it. My office is on the first floor of the commercial city's management office; just ask around and you'll find it."

Ya Ya nodded earnestly and remembered, "Okay!"

Engineer Yu added, "There will be a lot of construction waste coming from behind this building. Once you've collected most of it, be sure to let me know in advance so I can arrange the truck fleet accordingly."

Ya Ya's eyes lit up; there was still an endless supply of cement, stones, and bricks!

Very good!

This can save a lot of money!

The path from Grandma's yard to the wheat and corn fields in the village has now been paved with small pieces of cement, and Uncle Zhao and Brother Da Niu have filled in the large potholes with small bricks.

Once the road was paved, everyone in the village who could ride a tricycle took turns riding it back and forth several times.

However, several roads still haven't been paved.

I was worried before that it wouldn't be enough, but now it's definitely more than enough!

"Understood, Uncle, don't worry!"

Seeing that there was nothing else going on here, Cheng You turned to Engineer Yu and instructed him, "Keep a close eye on the demolition progress at the site. Safety comes first. Strictly adhere to the standards. I have to go to Beijing and will be back before the holiday. Call me anytime if there are any emergencies."

Yu Gong patted the notebook: "Don't worry, Mr. Cheng."

Ya Ya's eyes lit up when she heard "Beijing": "Sister Cheng You, you're going to the capital? Isn't that where the emperor lives? Are you going to see the emperor?"

Cheng You was taken aback and turned her head to look at Ya Ya, whose eyes were full of curiosity.

This kid must have watched too many TV dramas. Does he even know how to meet the emperor or the fourth prince?

"There are no emperors these days. They're all fake in TV dramas." Yu Gong couldn't help but chuckle. "President Cheng is going to prepare a birthday gift for the old man. Old Chairman Cheng is turning seventy soon."
