Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Chapter 978 - 974
"Let see, let see..."
Before Tang Tang could straighten her back, Dou Dou had already leaned forward.
"Ha~"
Tang Tang happily swung the red notes in her hand.
She had found quite a lot, and with experience, she knew this was the largest denomination, capable of buying many things.
So when Dou Dou reached out her hand, she imdiately hid her hands behind her back.
"Hmph~"
She widened her big eyes and stomped at Dou Dou, seemingly trying to scare her away.
"Yikes~"
Dou Dou was startled, her body slightly tilted, and she assud a defensive posture; this was the first ti Tang Tang had acted this way toward her.
"Who told you to often snatch her money, now she’s gotten smarter." Xiao Yue said, with her mouth barely hiding a faint smile.
"I didn’t do it often, only a little bit."
Dou Dou said, gesturing with her little hand, but her tone revealed obvious guilt.
"Hehe~"
Duoduo laughed mischievously on the side.
"Why are you laughing like that?" Dou Dou said, displeased.
"Why do you care how I laugh, hehe~" Duoduo blinked playfully.
"Sister Xiao Yue, look at her, she’s laughing at ." Dou Dou pointed angrily at Duoduo.
"It’s taunting." Xiao Yue corrected.
"Sister Xiao Yue, you’re so smart, you know everything, I really like you, can you help spank Duoduo’s butt?" Dou Dou said with a fawning expression.
Xiao Yue: ...
Everyone burst out in laughter.
"Why are you all laughing, I’m serious, you know." Dou Dou continued to argue.
But by then, Tang Tang had already turned around and handed the one hundred yuan to Xiao Ya, who had been silent all along.
"Oh~"
"For ?" Xiao Ya was also full of surprise.
She knew what a hundred yuan was; her mom had left her a few bills when she left, but her dad had taken them later.
"Oh~ oh~" Tang Tang nodded her little head, looking very obedient.
"Thank you."
Xiao Ya did not hesitate, reaching out to take them and carefully smoothing out the four corners before putting it cautiously into her pocket.
Besides her mother, Tang Tang was the first to give her such a significant amount of money.
"The little sister is so lucky." Shan Wenbo said enviously from the side.
Shan Wenbo was sensitive about money since childhood because he knew how hard it was to earn it. But the little sister just bent down and picked up what it took him and his mom several days to earn, how could he not be envious?
"Wenbo..."
Hearing her son say this, Liu Yuqin showed displeasure on her face.
"Mom~" Shan Wenbo seed to realize he had said sothing wrong and called her softly.
"Do you rember what I told you?" Liu Yuqin asked.
"Don’t envy others, otherwise you’ll never be happy." Shan Wenbo replied quietly.
"As long as you rember." Liu Yuqin’s voice softened significantly.
"Sister Liu, you’re absolutely right, contentnt brings happiness; you really know how to educate children." Taozi comnted from the side.
As for Ruan Hongzhuang, she went across the road to get the car, as it was still drizzling.
"You’re being too kind, I don’t really know how to educate children, it’s just so personal experiences..." Liu Yuqin said with a smile.
In reality, finding happiness in contentnt is also a form of compromising with fate.
"Beep beep~"
The sound of Ruan Hongzhuang honking the horn ca from the side, bringing everyone back to their senses, and they quickly got into the car.
"Where do you live? I’ll take you ho first." Ruan Hongzhuang said.
"No. 312 Xinmin Road." Shan Wenbo answered first.
Clearly, Liu Yuqin taught him that, probably fearing he might get lost, at least he would know where his ho was.
"Hold on tight."
Ruan Hongzhuang said, then started the car.
On the streets at night, the lights were bright, and the fine rain continued to fall, blurring into misty water marks on the car windows.
In March, Han Zhong was already carrying the gentle moistness of early spring, and after a light rain, the air was filled with the fresh scent of plants mixed with the fragrance of the earth, invigorating one’s senses.
The streetlights along the road lit up one by one, their orange light piercing through the rain, casting long shadows on the ground, as if paving a warm path for the journey ho.
In the green belts by the roadside, early cherry blossoms had quietly blood, their pink-white petals glistening with crystal rain droplets, glowing softly under the lights, so delicate that a re touch seed capable of breaking them.
Occasionally, a late-returning pedestrian would pass by, carrying umbrellas in a multitude of colors, like dancing elves in the rain, their hurried steps also exuding the earthy charm of life.
Dou Dou leaned against the car window, pointing her little finger outside, her eyes filled with wonder.
The rain blurred the scene outside, yet added a fantasy-like feeling to the neon lights, with shop signs along the street diffusing in the rain, red, yellow, blue, rging into a colorful halo, resembling a flowing ink painting.
Shen Siyuan leaned against the seat, gazing at the night scenery outside, feeling a serene calmness within.
The nights in Han Zhong were not as noisy as in big cities, instead they carried the gentleness of a Jiangnan small town.
In the distance, by the Han River, the lights were dazzling, and the arch lines drawn by the lights on the bridge across the river were beautifully outlined, reflected in the shimring waters, gently swaying with the waves, indistinguishable where the lights t the shadows.
Occasionally, a tour boat would glide by, its rudder carving a long trail in the water, breaking the calmness of the river’s surface, and rendering the reflections even more animated.
"Every city has its own beauty." Taozi remarked.
Although Han Zhong is a National Nature Reserve of Red-crowned Crane, few people really knew about it.
People here are simple and kind, and ti seems to slow down significantly, giving one a relaxed and leisurely feeling.
The car drove along the streets of the old city, lined with quaint buildings, with green tiles and white walls, red lanterns hanging below the eaves, wet with rain, making the red appear even more gentle and inviting.
Occasionally, one could see a few small teahouses still open, their signs bearing the word "Tea," and through the windows, a few elderly folks could be seen sitting around a table, drinking tea and chatting, the atmosphere leisurely and cozy.
"This used to be an old comrcial street. Although it’s not as bustling as the new city now, it retains a lot of the flavor of old Han Zhong." Liu Yuqin explained, "Just turn ahead, and it’s Xinmin Road. Our ho is in the old alley over there."
Following her direction, Ruan Hongzhuang turned, and the car entered a relatively narrow alley.
The walls along the alley were covered with green vines, raindrops falling on the leaves, making a "drip-drip" sound, like playing a gentle lody.
The streetlights in the alley were dimr, adding to the tranquility, with occasional dog barks breaking the silence, but also making it feel more authentic.
The car stopped at the mouth of the alley since the road inside was too narrow for the car to go through.
"This is fine, thank you for the trouble." Liu Yuqin bowed to everyone to express her gratitude.
Shan Wenbo was carrying a bamboo basket at his back like a little tail, inside the basket were unsold wool socks.
At this mont, Xiao Ya suddenly ran up and handed the carefully kept one hundred yuan to Shan Wenbo.
"For you," she said.
Shan Wenbo looked at the hundred yuan handed over, surprised, then looked up at his mother.
Liu Yuqin quickly said, "We can’t take this, keep it yourself, save it to buy sothing."
"Since Xiao Ya gave it to him, just keep it, Xiao Ya is with us, she won’t lack for food or clothing." Taozi said.
Xiao Ya nodded continuously, these past few days felt like a dream to her, she had felt the kindness of the world, so she passed this kindness on to others.
Liu Yuqin was still hesitating, but Shen Siyuan didn’t mind these matters. Instead, he turned to look out of the window at the alley mouth, because there stood a "man," looking into the car with a surprised expression.
