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

"Oh, so you're buying insect repellent. Are you buying it for yourself or for your family?"

Ya Ya stretched out her little hand and counted carefully on her fingers one by one: "We need to take care of the villagers. There are two little brothers in our village, one is almost three years old, and the other is a little older. There are also grandparents, the oldest of whom is Grandpa Fang, who is almost sixty. There are twenty-six people in total."

Ya Ya counted very carefully, going through everything she knew.

Grandpa Chen said that you must ask carefully about the medication before taking it.

The young woman on duty at the pharmacy watched the little boy counting so earnestly, a slight smile playing on her lips. She wondered which village he was from nearby, so sensible and adorable.

"Wow, there are so many! Then we'll have to divide them into age groups. Let me help you find them. Will you remember all the ones I tell you? Or should we have an adult come and buy them?"

Ya Ya took out her phone: "Sister, I can record a video to show the adults when we get back."

Before the young lady could reply, he pulled out a voice recorder from his pocket and waved it: "I have another voice recorder."

Wow, the equipment is so complete.

The young woman looked shocked.

Kids these days are really something; their generation is living a life where they're not as well off as the elderly or as well off as the young.

"Okay, wait a moment."

Ya Ya stood by the counter watching the young lady move effortlessly between the counters and quickly bring over five boxes of medicine.

"Turn on your phone and record a video. I'll show you how to eat it. When you get back, let the adults watch the video carefully before you eat it."

The pharmacy assistant brought over a small stool for Ya Ya to stand on so she could easily hold up her phone to record a video, while she herself unfolded the medicine box and carefully explained:

"Medication should be taken according to age groups. Children over two years old, adults, and healthy elderly people can all take this. This is called albendazole tablets. Elderly people with poor liver or kidney function or poor health should not take it on their own and should consult a doctor. Medication should not be taken in excess and must be taken strictly according to the dosage."

Children aged two to twelve, regardless of height, can eat one piece at a time, and only once.

Children aged 12 and above, adults, and the elderly should take two tablets at a time. Generally, one dose is sufficient. If worms persist afterward, wait at least 20 days before taking another dose, preferably before bedtime. For two days after taking the first dose, maintain a light diet and avoid oily and salty foods.

Note that infants under two years old, pregnant women, and people with liver problems should not consume this product without consulting a doctor first.

"Did you record everything?" After saying a lot in one breath, the pharmacy girl turned her head to look at Ya Ya, who was standing on the stool and holding up her phone seriously.

"I recorded it, and I remembered it too. One disc for kids, two discs for adults!"

"Great. Let me pack it up for you." The young woman scanned the barcode and bagged the medicine while continuing to instruct, "You might not see any worms after taking it. The medicine will break down the worms in your body. It's normal not to see any live worms. Don't think the medicine isn't working. It's easier to pass live worms if you have a lot of worms."

If anyone experiences persistent stomach pain or vomiting after eating, they must go to the hospital immediately.

"Thank you, sister, I've got it all." Ya Ya got off the small stool and held out her wrist. "Sister, scan the code here."

After buying the medicine, Ya Ya thought about it carefully and realized that there shouldn't be any other tasks. She didn't see anywhere to store videos and cartoons outside, and there was nothing else she wanted to buy.

There were also lots of milk tea, strawberries, and braised meat in the space, and quite a few other dishes piled up here and there.

Thinking of the space, Ya Ya secretly peeked inside and saw Grandma Duck holding a sausage and gnawing on it. Next to her was a cup of pink milk tea and a large plate with a pile of chopped pieces of fatty intestines.

"Grandma Duck, is this sausage tasty? Are there any worms in it?"

Jie Chi took a big bite of sausage, and Ya Ya could clearly see that the cross-section of the sausage, which Grandma Duck had bitten, was layered and circled, like a tree that had been cut down. Oily juices were still oozing from the middle.

"Not bad, right? Firm, chewy, and juicy. I'll buy some more tomorrow; these few aren't even enough to fill my teeth."

The bud exits the space.

Grandma Duck is eating more and more. Last time she bought 180 cups of milk tea and sweet drinks, but the villagers only drank them once and drank less than 30 cups. She glanced at the milk tea place earlier and it seemed that about half of them were missing.

Cao Xiulian pulled the roller shutter door in front of the shop down halfway and took out her mobile phone to call Ya Ya.

The shop is completely empty now—nothing left, not even steamed buns, mantou, chicken feet, or noodle soup. Hao Hao has gone to school with his classmates, and Ya Ya hasn't returned from buying medicine yet.

I wonder if the little guy couldn't find the place or got lost.

I bought quite a few chicken feet; I sent several boxes to the store.

I had just dialed the number to lock the roller shutter when I heard the sound of a stroller's wheels. "Auntie, I'm home! Are you going home?"

"Ya Ya, you're finally back! Auntie thought you were lost and was just about to call you to pick you up." Cao Xiulian hung up the phone and closed the door again.

"Auntie, I'm not lost. I have a great memory for directions; I can even find my way through the mountains. The pharmacy is a bit far, and I bought a lot of sausages and chicken feet on the way, which slowed me down a bit." Ya Ya followed Cao Xiulian into the store.

"That's good. Did you get the medicine?"

"I've bought it. The lady at the pharmacy was so nice. She even let me record a video to remember it, saying I should remember carefully not to take it randomly."

"Then Auntie is relieved. Here, take this box back with you. It's the projector you bought." Cao Xiulian took a small box from under the worktable and placed it on the lid of Ya Ya's stroller. Then she went to the corner of the back of the store and took a long, thin, rectangular cardboard box from against the wall.

"This is the projector screen. You bought an outdoor one, which is very big. I couldn't put it outside, so I brought it here."

Ya Ya looked up at the long cardboard box in her aunt's hand, which almost reached the ceiling, her little mouth slightly open, her eyes full of surprise: "So tall!"

"It won't be too tall when you unfold it. Since your village will be using it collectively, choosing the larger size is the right choice. You can put it in the yard and watch movies in the evening!"
