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

Cheng You lifted the lid of Ya Ya's stroller box, grabbed a large handful of small green vegetables, put them in a plastic bag, and was surprised when she weighed them.

These plastic bags are full and only weigh three pounds. It's questionable whether the contents of the box weigh ten pounds. No wonder they don't feel heavy when I lift them.

"Mr. Yu, do you have any more plastic bags?"

Mr. Yu simply took out a bunch of plastic bags that he usually collected and even glanced at the small cart box.

"Little girl, you brought so many vegetables to sell? It must be tough selling vegetables so late at night. These vegetables look really good, I'll buy some too." As he spoke, he also grabbed a bag, intending to support Ya Ya's business.

Cheng You raised her hand to stop her, "I don't even have enough for myself, you can buy something else."

Huh? Engineer Yu was taken aback, puzzled.

Logically speaking, if President Cheng sees that the young girl has a hard time and takes good care of her, it would be a good thing for him to help buy her some things. Why is he stopping him from buying them?

Still not enough vegetables?

Yu Gong, who had only glanced at it briefly before, was now completely intrigued. He calmed himself down and looked inside carefully, but couldn't see anything special.

He doesn't usually cook and doesn't know much about food, so it's completely impossible for him to tell the quality of a dish at a glance like someone who frequents the market.

Then, I guess I'll just have to use my mouth.

As Mr. Cheng weighed the leaves, Mr. Yu reached out, picked up a leaf, and gently popped it into his mouth with a crunch.

The sweet and refreshing juice bursts in your mouth, and a pure aroma of green vegetables fills your nose.

Ya Ya's eyes widened. "Uncle, why did you eat it without washing it? It's dirty and unhygienic."

Yu swallowed the vegetables in a few bites: "A little dirt won't make you sick. I used to gnaw on vegetable scraps like this when I was a kid and I was fine. Mr. Cheng, I need to ask you something. Can you spare me a handful, just a small handful?"

"I won't be here tomorrow morning, I have to go out. You can ask Ya Ya to buy it next time," Cheng You said coldly.

Buy a lot of things for the old man and woman at once, so they won't keep nagging.

Mr. Yu obediently put away the plastic bag and stood aside. He couldn't very well argue with the boss over food, and besides, the little girl named Ya Ya was still there. She came every day, so he could buy some more food later.

"Sister Chengyou, are you going out again?" Ya Ya tilted her head to look at Chengyou.

"Hmm." Cheng You finally finished weighing it; the empty box weighed just over fifteen pounds.

"Boss, here's the money. Sixteen catties here."

Ya Ya smiled and pulled up the payment code on her little watch: "Five yuan per jin, thank you for your patronage!"

She had just learned the phrase "thank you for your patronage" from her aunt.

As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng You took out her phone and scanned the QR code on Ya Ya's wristwatch to pay 240 yuan.

Hearing the notification that the payment had been received in her mind, Ya Ya's eyes widened, and she waved her hands anxiously, "No, no, Sister Cheng You, you gave me the wrong amount, it's eighty, not two hundred and forty!"

"Five yuan a pound is too low, let's make it fifteen."

Ya Ya couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she had no choice but to obediently withdraw her hand.

"Did you bring your phone? Give me your phone so I can save your number. You can call me if you need any more vegetables."

"I brought it." Ya Ya reached into her back pocket for her phone.

The outfit that Sister He Miao bought is nice, but it doesn't have any pockets, making it inconvenient for her to take out her phone from her storage space. The only slightly larger pockets are the two square pockets on the back.

Cheng You saved the number into Ya Ya's phone, and even dialed her own number using Ya Ya's phone before returning it to Ya Ya.

"Ya Ya, are you going upstairs? I'll take you there. I have to get back to work after that. Be careful. If you can't get down the escalator, just call Engineer Yu. Engineer Yu, please save his number."

Ya Ya looked up and glanced at Yu Gong standing to the side. "Is Uncle Yu Gong the same Yu Gong who moved mountains? Can he carry the mountain away?"

Cheng You couldn't help but laugh out loud. Sure enough, it really does sound the same as Yu Gong.

"Little friend, I'm not that Yu Gong, I'm Yu Gong." Yu Wenbin saved his phone number into Ya Ya's phone while typing it out for her to see.

"I can't carry the mountain on my back. People call me Engineer Yu because I'm the foreman in charge of water and electricity here. To put it bluntly, I'm a master craftsman, a worker."

"Wow, Master Chef, that's amazing! You're almost as good as Uncle Xiong. Uncle Xiong is also a Master Chef, the head craftsman." Ya Ya covered her mouth, her eyes sparkling as she stared at Yu Wenbin.

By the way, plumber/electrician foreman, water, electricity.

electricity?!

Ya Ya's eyes widened even more, as if some thought was swirling in her mind, but she couldn't quite grasp it.

"I'm not that great, I've just been working in the plumbing and electrical industry for over ten years. I can tell whether there's electricity or not just by touching it."

"Ahem." Cheng You coughed lightly. "Can you say things like that in front of a child? What if she listens and then touches the electrical outlet or wires with her bare hands? What if something happens?"

Yu Wenbin chuckled sheepishly. He had just made a habitual quip without thinking too much about it. "Uncle was wrong. Electricity is dangerous and complicated. Children must never touch it carelessly. Not to mention children, even adults who don't know any better can easily cause problems if they touch it carelessly."

"I remember, Uncle, thank you." Ya Ya nodded seriously. Grandpa Fang said that a wise person doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, and she shouldn't put herself in a dangerous place. She values ​​her life and won't touch anything recklessly.

"Mr. Cheng, how about I go with little Ya Ya? You can go ahead with your work," Yu Wenbin said, noticing Cheng You constantly checking her phone.

"Okay, that works. Please take good care of him."

"Why is Sister Chengyou so busy? You're always going out. Where is 'outside'?" This was the first time Ya Ya had ever seen Sister Chengyou go out so often, sometimes for days at a time.

It will take several days to get there; how far is that place?

"President Cheng has been rushing around lately because her grandfather is about to turn 70, and she needs to prepare a decent birthday gift. It also involves the renovation funds for our commercial city, so she is very concerned about it. Once she finds a suitable gift, she won't need to travel to other places so often."

As Cheng You's trusted subordinate, Yu Wenbin was aware of the inside story.

Ya Ya's heart skipped a beat after hearing this. A birthday gift?

There seemed to be several large, golden objects in the space, all bearing the character for "longevity," especially the gourd. Grandpa Fang said that this gourd symbolizes good fortune and prosperity, making it a suitable gift for elderly people celebrating their birthdays, signifying long life, abundant blessings, and numerous descendants. It can also ward off evil spirits and bring peace to the home.

Just as Sister Chengyou was about to step out the door with her long legs, Ya Ya snapped out of her daze and hurriedly grabbed the hole in the other's pants: "Sister Chengyou, don't go yet, I... I have a very beautiful gift, wait for me a moment."

Ya Ya looked around, but there was nowhere to conjure a gourd out of thin air. The little cart was also empty of gourds from Sister Cheng You. If she conjured a gourd out again, she would become a little monster.

He simply dragged the little cart and ran out in a flash.

As Yu Gong watched the little guy's retreating figure, he thought, "This...this kid is quite worldly-wise; he even wants to give a birthday gift."

A few minutes later, Ya Ya came running back, jingling and rattling, dragging her little stroller. "Sister Cheng You, look, is this okay? It's very pretty. It even has the character for 'longevity' on it!"

Cheng You: ૮₍ °□°₎ა

Yu Wenbin: ૮₍ ˙О˙₎ა

Ya Ya then took a huge golden gourd out of the stroller with both hands.

The golden gourd was a size larger than her head. It was made of matte, ancient-style gold and covered with fine cloisonné enamel. Auspicious cloud patterns wrapped around the upper and lower parts of the gourd, and a longevity character was engraved in gold with red enamel in the middle. You could also vaguely see red and blue cloud patterns with phoenixes wrapped around the gold openwork.

At the top of the gourd is a golden vine, with green enamel leaves on the vine, and three small gold gourds hanging from it.

"This, this..."
