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

(Thank you so much for the extra update and confetti! You really went to the trouble of writing this!)

The guy was holding bright yellow pants with a cartoon duck pattern printed on them. The duck had big eyes, three long eyelashes, a flat beak, and dark blue pupils.

The combination of two extremely vibrant colors and an adorable duck pattern instantly captured Ya Ya's heart.

Ya Ya reached out and touched it; it was covered in soft down inside and out. It wasn't as thick as cotton pants, but it was much thicker than the coarse linen pants they wore.

And it only costs five yuan! You can buy five ferns from one bunch!

Without hesitation, Ya Ya replied, "Twenty of them too!"

The guy's mouth was grinning from ear to ear, and he hadn't even closed the short video on his phone yet, with lively background music playing:

"...Hey kid, you're wearing a jade pendant around your neck...Come on! Let wealth come! Come on!"

"Two hundred and eighty in total!"

Ya Ya deftly pulled out three bright red bills and handed them over.

The deliveryman quickly gave her twenty yuan in change and then deftly helped her load the goods.

Twenty pairs of bright yellow coral fleece pants were easily packed into a large bag and placed in the small box of the stroller. There was still room in the box after that, but it also contained ginger, persimmons, fermented black beans, and other things that the little one had bought.

He thought for a moment, then took out the persimmons and eggplants and tied them to the handle of the stroller. He then took out a 70x100 leopard-print blanket to put under her.

"Brother, put one more thing in." Ya Ya kept staring at it, her eyesight was very good.

The pattern on this fabric looks like a giant tiger from legend, with patches of yellow and black.

"This is for you, a small blanket, to put on and prevent odors."

For such a big customer, what's the point of giving away a cheap little blanket? These kinds of small blankets are hard to sell; they're usually bought by people who keep cats or dogs at home to use as bedding.

Ya Ya rubbed her little hands shyly. "Thank you, brother, you're such a kind person!"

The young man chuckled, his hands still busy. The cotton-padded trousers took up a lot of space, so he packed them in tightly, managing to fit six pairs inside.

He tied up the rest of the clothes, just like he had with the floral jacket before, and stacked them on top of the box.

The pile was stacked up to a height that was just half a head shorter than the little baby, so it didn't block her view.

After finishing, the guy patted his pants, tried pushing them up, and they were stable.

Ya Ya took the cart; she still needed to buy lots of white rice, and there was still a long way to go before she could fill the cellar.

"Push slowly, walk steadily." The young man couldn't help but give her a few words of advice as he watched her legs moving so fast.

Ya Ya nodded vigorously, her little hands gripping the handlebars tightly, her heart bubbling with joy.

A truckload of warm pants! Now everyone can have new clothes from head to toe, all bright and pretty.

When they arrived at the grain store, they asked the shop owner, Auntie, to help them carry the rice and noodles into the alley. Ya Ya's little purse began to warm up slowly, and soon they returned to Lotus Village.

An oil lamp was lit inside, casting a warm, yellow glow.

It was the kerosene that Zhao the hunter had scraped off the two men.

As soon as Ya Ya stood up, she saw four people sitting neatly around the table, and her eyes immediately lit up: "Grandpa Village Chief, you're all better! Did you take your medicine? Is Grandma Li feeling better?"

The village chief smiled gently, shaking the bandage wrapped around his hand. "Alright, alright, you've taken your medicine, and it's all bandaged up!"

"That's good, Grandpa Village Chief, you have to be a good boy and behave well!" Ya Ya was finally completely relieved.

Old Fang and Hunter Zhao, who were standing nearby, had long been drawn to the bulging pile of things on the cart. The oil lamp was dim, and they couldn't see clearly from a distance on the kang (a heated brick bed).

"Ya Ya, did you sell all your baskets? What good stuff did you bring back?" Grandma Liu got up and went over.

As soon as someone asked, Ya Ya perked up immediately, slapping her little hand on her spoils. "Sold out! Lots of people liked it, and I made over three hundred yuan! Uncle Zhao, could you please bring down the rice and noodles for me? Grandpa Fang and Grandma Liu, come and get the pants."

"More than three hundred?!"

"Pants?"

Before the group could recover from the shock of how such a large sum of money could be sold from the small basket, they were all stunned to hear that they had also bought pants.

"Yes! Cotton-padded pants, with brown fuzz inside, they're so warm! Ya Ya bought them..." She paused, adding up the two twenties.

"I bought forty of them!"

"Forty pairs?!" Everyone in the room was shocked. Goodness, buying so many pants...

The four adults quickly helped. Zhao Hu carried the rice bag in one hand and the noodle box in the other, and in no time, he had piled the things up in the corner of the room.

Over there, Granny Liu and Fang Tiesheng had already untied the ropes and were adjusting their pants.

Fang Tiesheng turned on the flashlight to shine light.

Grandma Liu first picked up a pair of cotton pants adorned with tiny, light red floral patterns. She touched the thick fabric and beamed, "Oh my, such pretty patterns! Our Ya Ya really knows how to buy things!"

Ya Ya was so proud of being praised that she raised her little head.

Zhao Hu, who had just come over, also pulled out a pair of pants. Looking at the small floral print all over the pants, his lips twitched violently.

This floral jacket was bad enough, but now even the pants are covered in tiny flowers...

Thinking that he, a tough and resolute man, was covered in flowers from head to toe, he silently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

After moving the trousers aside, Grandma Liu popped open the lid, took out the cotton trousers inside, and revealed a piece of fabric with a unique pattern.

With patches of yellow and black, and dots and circles, it looked at first glance like it was cut from a whole animal hide.

Hunter Zhao's pupils contracted slightly, and he subconsciously lowered his voice:

"This...this is...leopard skin?!"

Grandma Liu was startled by what he said and quickly reached out to gently touch it.

It feels like a soft, fluffy texture to the touch, but when you squeeze it, it doesn't feel like leather.

She breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and took out the blanket, unfolding it.

"It's not animal hide, it's a fleece blanket woven with this pattern."

Old Fang also came over, squinting at the yellow and black patterns, and exclaimed in amazement: "This pattern is imitating leopard skin! I've only ever seen such exquisite patterns on the fabrics of wealthy people in town before."

Ya Ya scratched her head. It turned out that these were leopard stripes; she had thought they were a tiger.

"Is this expensive?" Grandma Liu looked at the size of the fabric. It wasn't big, only a little longer than Ya Ya's body. It would fit perfectly under the cattail quilt.

"I don't know... it was a gift from the guy who sells pants."

Ya Ya answered softly, "Brother said to use it to line the box and block out smells."

Grandma Liu ran her fingertips over the soft down, saying with heartache, "Oh dear, such a nice thing, and it's just used to line a box, what a waste. Grandma will wash it and use it as a blanket for you when Tianming comes."

Grandma Liu folded the blanket neatly and placed it aside.

Seeing that everyone was still looking at the cotton pants but not taking the bottoms, Ya Ya decided to take matters into her own hands.

With a quick reach into the box, the sound of plastic packaging drew everyone's attention. Ya Ya skillfully peeled off the tape at the top of the bag and pulled out a bright yellow pair of pants.

"look!"

In the dimly lit room, a little girl wearing a cream-colored cotton-padded jacket smiled and held up a pair of bright yellow fleece pants.

The pants looked light and soft, with round, bright-colored patterns printed on a bright yellow background. The circles looked like eyes, but not quite. There were three curved black lines on them, and below them was an orange-yellow flat mouth. The bright colors clashed together, instantly illuminating the room.

"Grandma Liu, Grandpa Village Chief, look! This one is super cute too! It's covered in fluffy fur inside and out, and it's only five yuan a piece!"
