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

Old Fang froze completely, his lips moved slightly, but he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

But that trembling hand slowly rose and took the paper from Ya Ya's hand.

It's clear, all too clear...

Every word is clear and every sentence is distinct.

With this thing, he can figure out the characters over there in a day!

What a wonderful treasure... Ya Ya has brought along an amazing treasure...

"How is it? Does it work?" Ya Ya was a little nervous. Why did Grandpa Fang's eyes turn red when he wore reading glasses? Did he buy the wrong ones? They're so uncomfortable to wear.

"Does it hurt to wear them? If it's uncomfortable, we won't wear them..." Ya Ya reached out to take off her glasses.

Grandpa Fang quickly pressed her little hand down and shook his head hastily. Afraid of frightening the child, he tried to suppress the tears welling up in his eyes, but he couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from trembling and turning upwards.

"I'm not upset...not at all, Grandpa is just so happy..."

He looked down at the words on the paper again and again.

Just these two thin, crystal-like things, placed on the bridge of the nose, and the whole world is brightened up.

Grandpa Fang looked up at Ya Ya, who had a worried expression on her face, and gently patted her head with his rough hands. His eyes welled up with tears.

"Grandpa can see so clearly now! Our Yaya has given Grandpa a new pair of eyes..."

Ya Ya pursed her lips, a little embarrassed. These glasses only cost twenty yuan, and she couldn't accept Grandpa Fang's praise.

Fang Tiesheng looked up from the paper with curiosity, but after just one glance, his vision blurred, his head spun, and he felt dizzy. The little bean opposite him seemed to have grown mold, and he felt a bit weak.

Further away, everything was a complete mess.

Startled, he quickly looked back at the paper, where the words were clear and large, bright.

He began to understand that this treasure was only good for things nearby, not for things far away. It was excellent for reading books and words, but not for seeing the road or people; it would easily cause people to fall.

I was originally thinking of wearing it to Granny Liu's courtyard to show it off, but that idea immediately died down.

He reached out and gently adjusted the frame of his glasses, looking at Ya Ya. "Ya Ya, this thing... is it very expensive? You little girl, why are you spending so much money on this old man like me? Buy yourself some more food and some pretty hair accessories, don't always spend money on us old folks."

Ya Ya blushed and said shyly in a low voice, "It's not expensive, Grandpa Fang. It only cost twenty yuan, and you get one free with every pair you buy."

Fang Tiesheng's Adam's apple bobbed, and the words caught in his throat.

So translucent, so delicate, like two thin slices of crystal, such a fine thing, yet it's not even worth as much as a bunch of wild vegetables?

Little Bean stared intently at Grandpa Fang's glasses, unable to look away.

Wearing this thing, Grandpa Fang suddenly became very dignified. He couldn't quite put his finger on what kind of aura it was, but he just felt very powerful.

He couldn't help but speak softly, with a hint of timid anticipation: "Grandpa Fang... I... I wonder if I could give it a try?"

He also wanted to be that impressive.

Fang Tiesheng was taken aback, then quickly waved his hand, "No, no! Little children can't wear that. They won't be able to see clearly, they'll get dizzy, and they'll easily fall!"

Just then, Grandma Wang and Aunt Lin passed by and saw the three of them huddled together whispering. They looked at them curiously and asked, "Old Fang, what are you three doing?"

Upon closer inspection, Grandma Wang suddenly stopped, pointed at Fang Tiesheng's face in surprise, and exclaimed, "Hey! Old man Fang, what's that thing on your face?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Tiesheng straightened his back with a "whoosh," raised his chin slightly, and gently adjusted the frame of his glasses on the bridge of his nose, his tone revealing undisguised smugness:

"Reading glasses, you've never seen these before, have you? Ya Ya specially brought them back for me from over there! Wearing these, I can see small print so clearly. Let me tell you, I can figure out the whole corn-growing method by tonight!"

Grandma Wang and Aunt Lin, who were standing nearby, were immediately intrigued when they heard how amazing the reading glasses were.

Grandma Wang immediately leaned forward, reached out to take off Fang Tiesheng's glasses, and said with a smile, "Is it really that amazing? Let me try it, I have to see. My old eyes are so blurry, I can barely see the eye of a needle."

Fang Tiesheng's heart tightened. The novelty hadn't worn off yet, and he was reluctant to lend them out immediately. But since they were all neighbors and sharing a table for meals, he carefully took off his glasses, repeatedly reminding them, "Be careful, don't scratch them! Don't look around too much when you wear them, or you'll get dizzy!"

"Okay, okay, okay, look at you, so stingy!"

Grandma Wang took the glasses, happily put them on her nose, and just as she looked up into the distance, exclaimed, "Oh dear!"

She stumbled and staggered, but Aunt Lin quickly helped her up.

Fang Tiesheng burst into laughter. "Look at you! You don't know how to use them! These reading glasses are only for close-up vision, not for far-away vision. If you try to look at something far away, you'll get dizzy!"

As he spoke, he placed the planting instructions in front of Grandma Wang, saying, "Look here."

Grandma Wang squinted at it and was immediately astonished, her mouth agape: "My goodness! It's so clear! I can even see the tiny strokes clearly. This is wonderful! It will be so much easier for me to do sewing and mending now that I'm doing delicate work!"

She carefully took off her glasses, held them in her hands, and examined them from all angles, finding them incredibly fascinating.

Ya Ya, who was watching from the side, remembered that there was another pair and tugged at Grandma Wang's sleeve: "Grandma Wang, I brought another pair back for you."

Grandma Wang was taken aback, and quickly waved her hand, "No, no, no, this is precious, I can't accept it. Your mother-in-law doesn't even have one yet. Send it to her, she'll be so happy!"

Ya Ya tilted her head. "Grandma... can't you see clearly either?"

Grandma Liu has never shown any signs of physical discomfort and is usually quite agile, except for the time she was delirious from a fever.

"That's right, we're getting old, our eyesight isn't what it used to be!"

Ya Ya looked thoughtful, secretly remembering what she had said.

In the afternoon, Grandma Liu pulled Ya Ya aside and handed her a small cattail basket.

I wove the basket myself this morning. It has a small handle and is just big enough to hold about two pounds of wild vegetables.

The inside was neatly arranged:

A handful of tender bracken, a handful of lamb's quarters, a small bundle of shepherd's purse, and on top of that, a small handful of tender toon sprouts.

"Daughter, take this little basket with you next time you go to the morning market." Grandma Liu put the little basket into the cart box. "The rain hasn't come yet. I've been picking wild vegetables for several days in a row, but there aren't many to be found in the mountains. These are all I found today, so it's not worth selling them."

We remember who's good to us. Here's some fresh food; add it to your aunt's table.
