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

Chen Lei was amused, but also felt inexplicably embarrassed.

This child has such a good memory. It seems he used up many of the books and pens he brought back last time. He's not easy to fool now.

But he had collected so many high-quality wild mushrooms from Ya Ya, which were much more expensive than these few tweezers, and he felt bad about it.

He sighed and went along with her: "Okay, okay, Uncle was wrong, Uncle misremembered. Three fifty yuan, you didn't shortchange me this time."

Fearing that Ya Ya might not believe him, he added, "When your sister He Miao arrives later, just ask her. This is the price. I will never lie to you."

Ya Ya counted carefully on her fingers: three fiftys, how much is one?

I counted several times, and there were always two extra fingers.

ε=(´ο｀*))) alas

Ya Ya sighed heavily. Math is so hard.

Chen Lei saw her muttering to herself, leaned over to listen, and laughed. It turned out that he had quietly given Ya Ya a big problem.

"Sixteen yuan and sixty cents." He didn't intend to go into details. Teaching children arithmetic and literacy is a terrifying thing. He had a headache from watching those short videos about teaching kids how to do their homework.

I truly admire the patience of those parents.

"How many five-dollar bills are equal to sixteen dollars and sixty cents?" Ya Ya asked again, tilting her little face up.

"A little over three."

Ya Ya blinked her eyes. "Why is there a little more? How much is a little more?"

Chen Lei was taken aback by the question. Looking at the earnest little girl in front of him, who was determined to get to the bottom of things, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Why are you still asking? No, no.

He quickly stood up straight, glancing into the shop. "What? Oh, coming right away."

"Someone is looking for Uncle, Uncle will go and attend to something for a while."

Ya Ya nodded, "Okay."

A dark lamp is equivalent to a little more than three flashlights. Ya Ya looked at the clip-on lamp on the table, and it did seem to be about the same size as three flashlights.

The shop manager probably wasn't lying.

A moment later, the plastic curtain at the shop entrance was lifted again, bringing in a cool breeze.

As soon as Ya Ya looked up, her eyes lit up.

It's Sister He Miao!

Today, He Miao wore a soft camel-colored lamb wool coat, paired with a pair of distressed retro-colored straight-leg jeans, looking both warm and stylish.

As soon as I entered, I looked at the cashier counter.

Seeing Ya Ya sitting obediently on the little stool, smiling so broadly her eyes disappeared, she smiled too, "Ya Ya's here!"

Chen Lei slipped over from inside after seeing her come in. "Ya Ya specially brought us a basket of wild mushrooms. I was worried they wouldn't taste as good if they were left overnight, so I asked you to come and get them."

Ya Ya nodded quickly, "That's right! Lots of people like this mushroom, it must be delicious. Sister He Miao, you should try it, if you like it, I'll bring you some more next time!"

Chen Lei took out the small basket and gave it to He Miao.

He Miao looked down and saw that this quality was so good that even cultivated ones wouldn't be cheap, let alone wild ones.

The moment the word "wild" is mentioned, the price skyrockets.

This gift is quite substantial.

If she had known that the mushroom Ya Ya had been talking about was this one, she would never have come empty-handed.

He Miao smiled even more warmly as she looked at Ya Ya's expectant face.

She reached under Ya Ya's armpit, gently lifted her up, and planted a big kiss on her soft little face.

"Thank you, Ya Ya! I really like it. It's delicious. Just remember to bring the regular kind next time. You can sell the expensive ones; this one is very valuable!"

Ya Ya: What are you babbling about? Oh! My sister kissed me!

Her eyes widened instantly, her little face flushed red, and she quickly covered her face with her hands, "Ouch..."

He Miao gently patted the baby in her arms; it was so light.

You couldn't tell when she was dressed, but when you picked her up, you realized she was only a little heavier than her big orange cat.

A tiny little ball.

She looked at Ya Ya's cream-colored cotton coat. It was a nice style, but she had worn the same coat every time she came. She wasn't wearing a sweater underneath, and the material looked like linen, and it was a dull gray.

Such a sensible child, sweet-talking, grateful, and always thinking of them first when there's something good.

He Miao's heart melted. Looking at Ya Ya's still somewhat thin face, she thought, "Children need to gain some weight to be cuter and healthier."

She had already secretly made up her mind to go to the nearby children's clothing store first thing tomorrow morning to buy Ya Ya a new set of clothes and a few sweaters.

The black cotton shoes on Ya Ya's feet are warm, but not very pretty. Hmm, I'll buy her another pair of pretty and warm little shoes.

We need to buy food too. I'll check what nutritional supplements to get for the kids later...

Thinking of all this, He Miao gently touched Ya Ya's little braids and said with a smile, "Ya Ya is such a good girl, and she even brought us such nice mushrooms. I'll bring you some delicious food and fun things later, so you can't refuse, okay?"

Ya Ya pursed her lips, about to refuse.

He Miao looked at her intently and said, "You gave us these things because you like my sister and my uncle, right?"

Ya Ya nodded gently.

"Your older sister also loves Ya Ya, so you must remember to come and get it, okay? If you don't come and get it, your older sister will be sad and upset."

Seeing that Sister He Miao's brows were slightly furrowed, and she looked like she was really about to be sad, Ya Ya replied softly, "Ya Ya will remember, Sister, don't be sad."

He Miao immediately burst into laughter, "That's more like it!"
