Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?

Chapter 1222: Chapter 1218: Best Friends

When they got back inside, Grandma took out her food box and stuffed the pockets of the three little ones to the brim.

However, this time Shen Siyuan noticed that Dou Dou wasn’t picky at all, which surprised him.

To think, this little one is usually the pickiest eater. What’s going on today?

"Because everything that Great Grandma took out is all my favorite!" Dou Dou said happily.

"Little flatterer." Taozi laughed and pinched her cheek, thinking Dou Dou was just saying that to make Grandma happy.

But Grandma, hearing this, laughed and said, "Last time you came, I noticed what you liked and picked them all out for you."

"Great Grandma, I love you the most," Dou Dou said immediately upon hearing this.

Grandma’s smile became even more radiant.

Shen Siyuan and the others: ...

It felt like they didn’t matter anymore.

Xiao Ya, eating a coconut candy, looked at Dou Dou with admiration, secretly envious of her personality and wishing she could be like her.

As for Tang Tang, she didn’t care about any of that, kept her head down, and stuffed snacks into her mouth like a little hamster.

"Don’t eat too many sweets, be careful your teeth don’t get decayed." Shen Qingzhou reached out to touch her little head.

Tang Tang immediately shook her head, breaking free from his palm, clearly displeased with Shen Qingzhou’s lecture.

She just wanted to eat, eat heartily, eat a lot.

But this little one is truly strange, even now hasn’t lost a tooth, her little teeth are strong like a crusher, everything tastes good to her.

"Why say that about her? Being able to eat is a good thing?"

Before Shen Siyuan could say anything, Grandma had already come to her defense.

"Alright, alright, Grandma, I came back today to discuss with you, for this year’s New Year, you can come to my place and spend it with us."

"Go to Bin Hai? Aren’t you going to your mother-in-law’s? This year is the first year." Grandma said, her gaze shifting to Ruan Hongzhuang.

"Grandma, I’ll bring my parents over too, and we’ll spend it together." Ruan Hongzhuang hurriedly said.

"Is that so, well, let me think about it." Grandma seemed a bit hesitant upon hearing this.

"What’s there to consider? It’s settled." Shen Siyuan decided right away.

"You rascal, making decisions on your own." Grandma gave him a light smack on the arm, "What do your parents say?"

"Of course, they agreed." Shen Siyuan casually lied.

Grandma gave a puzzled look, "They agreed? Then what about the chickens and ducks at home? No one to look after them during the festivities."

"Uh... we’ll have someone to help out."

"You little rascal, are you lying to me again?"

Grandma, in frustration, gave him another smack on the arm.

But that wasn’t the end of it, Shen Qingzhou felt a smack on his leg, looked down and saw it was none other than Dou Dou.

"You rascal, making Great Grandma angry."

Seeing Shen Siyuan glaring at her, she pointed her little finger and immediately started tattling.

"Great Grandma, Potato is glaring at me."

She said, deliberately widening her eyes to look fierce.

Grandma, amused, gave Shen Siyuan another playful smack.

"With all your abilities, why only use it to bully little children?"

"Hehe..." Dou Dou giggled smugly, completely forgetting she couldn’t stay with Great Grandma forever.

Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi laughed heartily on the side.

Xiao Ya also smiled gently, only Tang Tang remained unconcerned, focused on her "meal".

After a bit of playful laughter, they went outside and sat under the eaves, watching the free-range chickens in front of the door running around, chasing each other, foraging, and finding company...

"Oh~"

Tang Tang unconsciously uttered a sound, trying to startle a chicken that wandered in front of her.

Ruan Hongzhuang, sitting next to her, was amused and lightly patted her little head, "You really don’t remember at all."

"han~"

"Still laughing." Ruan Hongzhuang reached out and lovingly pinched her chubby cheeks.

Dou Dou sat nearby, reclined in a chair, looking lazy.

As the year-end approached, it wasn’t yet spring, still winter, but the temperature in Bin Hai was always high, especially at noon, when it was at least twenty-seven or eight degrees.

"It would be great to have some popsicles to suck on right now," she said.

"Oh, oh, han~" Tang Tang agreed immediately, nodding.

"You two little ones, eating what’s in the bowl while looking at the pot, Great Grandma just gave you so many snacks, and you’re already thinking about popsicles." Taozi said playfully.

At this moment, Shen Siyuan was out front, helping Grandma stack the firewood neatly that he had gathered.

No matter his great abilities outside, capable of flying and escaping, he still had to obediently help Grandma with chores when he returned.

The warm sun shone down on the ridges of the land in front of the house, all lush and green, with a faint fragrance in the air.

The field paths were straight, plots neatly organized, the soil warmed by the sun, occasionally with dew drops hanging from the leaf tips, shimmering in the sunlight.

The sky was high and clear, the clouds light and thin, it was a relaxed and beautiful afternoon.

After sitting for a while, the three little ones gathered around Shen Siyuan causing mischief.

Taozi and Ruan Hongzhuang wandered around in front and back, savoring the rare leisurely time.

"Huh, where’s Grandma?"

Once Shen Siyuan finished tidying up, he turned around, only to see Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi washing mangoes they had just picked from a roadside tree.

"Uh, didn’t see her?"

Only then did the two realize they hadn’t seen Grandma for a while.

"han~han..."

At that moment, Tang Tang, who was chasing Dou Dou, ran past them and was caught by Taozi.

"Where’s Great Grandma? Did you see her?" Taozi asked.

Shen Siyuan: o(╯□╰)o

You’re asking her? What can she know.

"Oh?"

Tang Tang displayed a clueless expression, acting like she didn’t understand what they were talking about.

"I know, I know..."

Seeing Tang Tang caught, Dou Dou immediately raised her hand high.

"You know where Great Grandma went?" Shen Siyuan asked.

Dou Dou immediately pointed in the direction of the village.

"Great Grandma went over there."

Shen Siyuan didn’t ask further upon hearing that; he initially wanted to ask Grandma if there was anything else he could do, deciding to wait for her to return.

Grandma didn’t keep them waiting long and soon returned carrying a bag with a delighted expression on her face, saying: "Dou Dou, Tang Tang, Xiao Ya, come quickly, see what Great Grandma bought for you?"

Dou Dou, hearing this, darted over like a little rabbit.

Tang Tang, seeing Dou Dou run over, immediately followed, and Xiao Ya, noticing this, quickly caught up with the two.

"Great Grandma, what did you buy?" Dou Dou asked, but she was already digging into Great Grandma’s bag.

"Take it easy, there’s enough for everyone..." Grandma laughed warmly as she opened the bag.

"Wow, popsicles! Great Grandma, you’re the best, I love you!"

She said as she reached into the bag without any hesitation.

"Oh, oh~"

Tang Tang, who came closer, was spinning around anxiously.

"Take it easy, let Great Grandma give you one each..."

Grandma, chuckling, handed each of them a popsicle before picking up the bag and continuing her way back.

The three little ones, content, followed behind, enjoying their popsicles.

"Grandma, you spoil Dou Dou too much." Shen Siyuan said helplessly.

Before Grandma could respond, Dou Dou said: "Yes, Great Grandma, you’re so good to me, I love you."

"We’re best friends after all." Grandma laughed cheerfully.

"Right, I declare you the best friend." Dou Dou immediately shouted out loud.

Everyone was amused by her, including Xiao Ya.

Except for Tang Tang, who continued to focus on her "meal".
