The little one's purse connects the two worlds, turning a desolate village into a paradise.
Chapter 96 We're Going to Get Rich!
Aunt Lin was tidying up in the yard when she heard Grandma Liu calling her. She immediately dropped what she was doing and ran over.
As soon as she entered the door with Granny Liu, her eyes widened and she stood frozen at the doorway.
There was a huge, floor-to-ceiling mirror standing in the room!
She hadn't noticed anything when she came in, and at first glance, she thought there was a strange woman standing in the room, dressed exactly like her, rushing towards her!
She patted her chest hard, and the person in the mirror patted their chest too.
Aunt Lin then realized, this...this is a mirror! A mirror taller than a person!
The small mirrors that Ya Ya brought back earlier were already impressive enough. They were so clear, even clearer than the clearest river water in summer. They were hung behind the door, and villagers would often take a peek at them while going into the house to get something or deliver firewood.
Knowing that young people love beauty, the elders gave one of the two small mirrors with combs to Aunt Lin and the other to Zhao Hu.
The rest, except for the one hanging in Grandma Liu's room, were carefully kept. They couldn't bear to take them out casually, for they would feel bad if they were damaged.
She cherished even the smallest mirrors and always carried them with her. Now, she truly never expected to see such a large mirror!
Before Aunt Lin could even close her mouth, she subconsciously raised her hand and gently brushed the stray hairs behind her ear in front of the mirror.
The girl in the mirror also tossed her hair, her eyebrows, eyes, clothes, and movements were all perfectly accurate, as if she were a real person standing right in front of me.
Grandma Liu patted her with amusement. Aunt Lin's surname wasn't actually Lin; she just married into the Lin family, so the children all called her that, and the adults called her Lin family's daughter-in-law.
Over time, it seems everyone has almost forgotten that women also have their own names.
"Don't take pictures yet. This is what Ya Ya brought back from over there. There's a big crack at the bottom, and we're worried it might prick the child or crack open if it gets bumped. Everyone else in the village has gone to the fields, so it's just the two of us. Let's lend a hand and carry this thing out first."
When Aunt Lin heard that it was Ya Ya who brought it back, she tried to grab the black frame of the large mirror. The frame was soft and thick, so it didn't hurt her hand, but the mirror was frighteningly heavy.
Her expression changed immediately. Could it be that the child was dropped and injured during the return trip, causing the crack?
She quickly squatted down and felt Ya Ya's little arms and legs from head to toe. "My little darling... how did you carry something so heavy and big back? Did you fall? Did you get hurt?"
Ya Ya wriggled her little body: "Aunt Lin, this was already broken. That older sister said she didn't want it because it was broken, but Ya Ya felt it was a pity, so she asked Xiao He Bao to bring it back for her."
Aunt Lin had witnessed Ya Ya disappear once. The little girl greeted Grandma Liu, and whatever her little hand touched disappeared along with her.
After hearing what Ya Ya said, I roughly guessed how she got it back, and I felt a little relieved. Then I looked down at the crack.
She understands this; porcelain and glass are brittle and easily break when cracked, and you can easily cut your hand and bleed if you're not careful.
"No, it needs to be tied tightly."
He turned and went out of the house to the yard to get a handful of straw rope.
She squatted on the ground and started wrapping the mirror carefully, starting from the crack in the lower right corner and pointing upwards.
The bandage was wrapped tightly from the tear all the way to the corner of the mirror, including the frame.
"Okay, that's safe now. We don't have to worry about it breaking or cracking and hurting people."
After they finished, Grandma Liu stepped forward to support one side, while Aunt Lin lifted the other. The two women moved carefully and slowly, one step at a time, afraid of dropping this precious and dangerous object. Finally, they managed to carry the large mirror out of the house.
It leans steadily against the eaves at the doorway.
Once outside, the light was bright, and the two straightened up and subconsciously looked in the mirror.
It's crystal clear!
It was unbelievably clear.
The wrinkles on Grandma Liu's face, the white hair on her head, the bits of grass stuck to the corner of her clothes, and the sunspots on Aunt Lin's face were all clearly visible.
The two subconsciously straightened their clothes again, smoothing out their floral jackets and quietly pulling up their floral cotton trousers.
Ya Ya poked her little head out, and seeing how much they liked it, her little face was full of pride. Luckily, she brought it back!
"Grandma, Aunt Lin, there's more stuff."
As she spoke, Ya Ya pulled out the stroller with a thud. It had been hidden by the large mirror, so no one had noticed that the stroller's box was piled full.
Aunt Lin quickly stepped forward and helped Ya Ya carry the stroller out into the yard.
First, I took out the fried rice. The people over there are generous with their oil and use novel spices, making their food especially fragrant. Yesterday, we each only had a bite of the bowl, and we're still savoring the taste.
Then there was a big, thin pancake filled with a bunch of stuff, both soft and thick.
Next were five colorful basins, made of the same material as the large water ladle, which were both light and sturdy, making them easy to carry.
The basin was moved aside, revealing a stack of colorful buckets underneath, all crammed together.
After putting aside the clothes that the topmost bud had taken off, what came into view was a pile of colorful little cups with handles, which I heard are called cups over there.
Aunt Lin took them out one by one, and when she counted them, there were actually twenty!
Everyone in the village will receive one this time.
She picked out a light green one with small yellow flowers, held it in her hand and looked at it again and again, feeling extremely happy.
She hadn't received enough cups before, but this time everyone finally got one.
Grandma Liu also picked a purple one.
Then there are two jars, one large and one small.
I don't recognize what the jar is, so I'll put it aside for now. At the very bottom are five large buckets.
The wooden buckets in the village were heavy and bulky, and couldn't hold much water. Some of them had cracked and leaked because they had been dried in the sun for too long.
Ya Ya brought back five buckets this time, which will make things much more convenient for going to the fields, carrying water, and washing clothes.
The two were tidying up their things. Ya Ya pointed to the small jar with colorful paper stickers on it, and could vaguely see small pieces of colored fragments inside.
"Grandma, this is candy that helps kids grow taller. It's sweet, and the shop manager gave it to me. He said one every morning and one every night will help them grow taller!"
She then pointed to a larger jar next to her: "This is milk powder, a gift from Sister Hemiao. You need to mix it with water. Drinking it will help Yaya grow stronger and healthier, and she won't get sick easily!"
As soon as he said that, Grandpa Wang, who was weaving something nearby, stopped what he was doing and perked up his ears.
"Will eating this make me grow taller? Will drinking this make me less sick? Will it make me stronger?"
Granny Liu's voice was trembling. This... isn't this just like an elixir of immortality?
Suddenly, they became very light-footed, afraid of damaging these elixirs.
Grandpa Wang even bowed respectfully towards the sky, muttering incantations as if thanking the gods for the medicine.
Seeing their serious expressions, Ya Ya smiled and said, "Grandma, Aunt Lin, Grandpa Wang, don't worry. Sister He Miao said there's milk powder over there that's also suitable for the elderly. If Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, and Aunt drink it, they'll get sick less often and stay healthy!"
"Sister Hemiao said she didn't know the price either, and Yaya will pay her when it's bought."
Before the three could even express their feelings, Ya Ya started counting on her fingers and saying, "Also, I asked my uncle to buy me nine sun lamps. He said I can pick them up in three days, and then every house in our village will have a lamp in front of it!"
"And...and..." Ya Ya's little brain was a little overloaded for a moment.
Aunt Lin clutched her chest. "What else? Let me catch my breath."
"Oh, and the shoes!" Ya Ya finally remembered the most important thing.
Upon hearing the word "shoes," Granny Liu's jaw tightened. "Darling, has Grandma done something wrong? I didn't notice I put those straw sandals inside..."
"No, Grandma, you're going to get rich!" The little guy's face was full of pride.
"Sister Hemiao really loves the shoes you made! She said a pair can sell for over a hundred yuan where she's from! Uncle even said he wants you to make him another pair of flip-flops, Grandma!"
Ya Ya looked at Grandma Liu with admiration, "The lamps, buckets, and pots we brought back this time were all obtained by trading for the shoes you made, Grandma!"
Grandma Liu was completely stunned and didn't come to her senses for a long time.
A basket that costs one penny can become ten dollars, twenty dollars, or even seventy or eighty dollars over there.
This is not even the limit.
How can someone easily weave more than a dozen pairs of straw sandals a day and turn them into more than a hundred yuan?
No wonder Nannan said she was going to get rich.
This isn't just about her getting rich; it's about the entire Lotus Flower Village getting rich!
