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

Chapter 1224: Chapter 1220: Silly Douzi

Shen Siyuan stayed in the countryside for two days, then returned to Bin Hai.

"I’m back!"

Dou Dou stood with her hands on her hips, just about to strike a pose, when Tang Tang bumped into her from behind.

"Oops~"

She toddled on her short legs, crashing into Mao Sanmei’s arms.

Dou Dou originally planned to settle scores with Tang Tang.

Seeing this, she could only mumble, "What’s the big deal, I have a mom too."

"You do know you have a mom, how many days has it been since you last went home? Yesterday your mom sent me a message worried that something happened to you," Taozi said, knocking lightly on her head.

Dou Dou didn’t argue this time, covering her little head and thinking about it. The moment she thinks of them, she starts to miss them.

So she immediately dashed to the balcony.

"I’m going home now," she said.

"Oops~"

Tang Tang, nestled in her mom’s embrace, panicked: "If you leave, who will I play with?"

But by the time she broke free from Mao Sanmei’s arms, Dou Dou had already vanished.

Dou Dou raced home, carried by the Yin Wind.

"It’s been a long time since I saw mom and dad, do they miss me?"

"Wait, where is my home again?"

"Haha, just kidding!"

Then she laughed at her own joke, drawing a happy circle in the air.

"I’m back!"

Dou Dou landed on her home balcony, this time she was truly back.

Yet there was no response.

"Where is everyone? Do you not love me anymore? Not want to pay attention to me? That’s not right, you know."

So she shouted again, "Mom, Dad."

Still, nobody answered.

"Jiang Wenxin, Tao Guangsha..."

Still no sound.

She thought for a moment and shouted, "Old Mrs. Jiang, Fatty Tao?"

Though she called this way, she clearly lowered her voice.

"Really not home? I’ll look around."

So she began rummaging around the house, pulling open curtains, opening cabinets, pulling out drawers, opening the fridge, flipping chairs...

After searching around the house, she finally confirmed her parents were not at home.

"Ah." Dou Dou sighed.

"I wanted to come home and love them, it’s so disappointing."

Dou Dou shook her head and sighed, and eventually, she rode the Yin Wind to Sister Huang Lancai’s home, planning to have some delicacies at her sister’s house to comfort her wounded heart.

"I’m back, hehe."

Dou Dou landed in Sister Huang Lancai’s yard.

Huh? This sounds so familiar, well, never mind.

Dou Dou thought this and rushed directly into the house.

"Sister Huang, are you at home, do you miss me or not?" Dou Dou shouted as she stormed inside.

But—

"Huh, why are you here?" Dou Dou looked at Xiao Yue and Duoduo.

"You didn’t tell me you secretly came to play with Sister Huang."

Dou Dou was quite dissatisfied.

"Who secretly came, besides, weren’t you with your brother in the countryside?" Xiao Yue said, speechless.

Duoduo didn’t bother with her and continued eating the fruit salad in front of her.

"Hehe, oh yes, then I forgive you," Dou Dou said.

Xiao Yue: ...

It seemed like she did something wrong, but she didn’t correct Dou Dou, because Dou Dou was simply this way; if she weren’t like this, she wouldn’t be Dou Dou.

Dou Dou’s arrival immediately amused Sister Huang Lancai, who turned to the kitchen and brought out a plate of fruit salad for Dou Dou.

Her place was actually quite quiet usually, without many friends, so to her, a few kids were a kind of solace.

"Was the countryside fun?" Huang Lancai asked.

"Fun, Grandma gave us popsicles, and lots of delicious meals, the fireworks were amazing, Tang Tang is a little rascal..."

Dou Dou talked randomly while eating, but Huang Lancai listened very seriously.

"Wow, you seemed very happy in the countryside," Duoduo, quiet until now, finally spoke.

"Of course, too bad you couldn’t come, hehe..." Dou Dou said proudly.

The absence of her friends made her own happiness even more enjoyable.

"Grandma also praised me, saying I’m her best friend, she also asked why didn’t you come, do you not like her?" Dou Dou added.

Grandma did ask why Xiao Yue and Duoduo didn’t come, but this last line was Dou Dou’s addition.

Duoduo heard this, scratching her cheek, "I don’t dislike Grandma, I was just staying home with mom and dad."

"Oh? Is your mom Sister Huang? Hehe, you’re lying," Dou Dou chuckled mischievously.

Duoduo was momentarily speechless, and Xiao Yue saw Duoduo couldn’t win the argument, so she said, "Did Grandma really say that?"

"Uh-huh." Dou Dou nodded repeatedly, but couldn’t muster the courage to meet Xiao Yue’s gaze.

"Then I’ll go ask Grandma later, and if she didn’t say that, I’ll come back and spank you," Xiao Yue said seriously.

"Ah?" Dou Dou was shocked, her mouth wide open.

She started to panic a bit.

"I’m just a child, my memory isn’t great."

"I’m a silly kid, I kind of forgot what Grandma said, you can’t blame me."

"Grandma’s getting old, her memory’s not great, maybe don’t ask, it might make her sad."

...

"Pfft." Huang Lancai was the first to burst out laughing.

"Sister Huang, am I funny?"

Dou Dou sought to change the topic once Huang Lancai laughed.

Huang Lancai chuckled and patted her head, "You are funny, but you’re also quite clever, not a bit silly."

Dou Dou heard this and panicked, hurriedly saying, "I’m silly, I’m silly, I’m Silly Dou!"

Now, not only

Huang Lancai, but even Xiao Yue and Duoduo couldn’t help bursting into laughter.

Huang Lancai was in particularly high spirits, so she said, "I’ll treat you to a feast for lunch."

"A feast? Roast pig?" Dou Dou instantly perked up.

"Roast piglet would take too long, I’ll make something else for you all."

"Thank you, Sister Huang," Xiao Yue said politely.

"No need to be so polite with me, you all being here makes me very happy," Huang Lancai said.

"How happy?" Dou Dou curiously asked.

Xiao Yue, slightly annoyed, gave her a swat on the behind.

"As happy as your parents are to see you," Huang Lancai thought and answered.

"Oh, not that happy then," Dou Dou quickly replied.

Huang Lancai: ...

"Your parents don’t love you?" Duoduo perked up, intrigued.

Dou Dou heard this and immediately got anxious. She could say it, but others couldn’t.

"Of course not, they love me a lot. They...they’re waiting at home for me to come back, and I don’t even care for them," Dou Dou declared earnestly.

"Oh, really?" Duoduo gave her a sly glance.

"Oh, really? What kind of words are those? Say it again," Dou Dou was flustered.

"Nope, haha, your parents don’t love you," Duoduo said loudly.

"You little rascal, I’m challenging you to a duel," Dou Dou fumed.

Xiao Yue and Huang Lancai chuckled to the point of tears.

And it was at this moment that Jiang Wenxin and Tao Guangsha returned home, opened the door, and were met with chaos.

"Did a burglar break in?"

"Even stole the food from the fridge?"

...
