Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1158 - 1154: Adorable Dou

"Hey~, I’m just checking if there’s anything you need help with." Dou Dou rubbed her little hands, with a silly grin on her face.

Seeing her like this, Han Qiaoqi knew she definitely wasn’t here to help, but didn’t call her out on it.

Instead, she continued, "Everything’s going smoothly here, I don’t need any help."

"Oh? Then I’ll head back, →_→"

Dou Dou said she was leaving, but her eyes were darting around.

Han Qiaoqi stayed silent, curious to see what she’d do.

"I’m really leaving now. ←_←"

"Pfft." Han Qiaoqi couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"What do you actually want to do?"

"Hmph, you’re so rude, aren’t you going to invite me to sit in your house?"

"Alright, come in and have a seat." Han Qiaoqi said, holding back her laughter. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Okay." Dou Dou happily walked into the house, looking around with curiosity at everything.

"Xiaoxi, who’s here?" Yang Qingfang tugged at her daughter’s sleeve, curiously asking.

"Uh... it’s the Guiding Child." Han Qiaoqi replied.

But as soon as she said this, Dou Dou objected.

She immediately revealed herself, angrily saying, "I’m the Pre-marriage Great General, Pre-gūn, Pre-kūn, Pre-fēng, oh right, the Vanguard General..."

She was speaking so fast that she got a little tongue-tied.

The Han Xianfa couple was first startled by Dou Dou’s sudden appearance, but then they tried to suppress their laughter, shaking with amusement. This child was too adorable, too funny.

"This is Dou Dou," Han Qiaoqi couldn’t help but laugh as she introduced her to the couple, "She is a child under Lord Governor."

"Oh, you’re Dou Dou, thank you for helping our Han Qiaoqi today."

On hearing this, the couple immediately realized that the little friend in front of them was one of those their daughter met at the Dragon King Temple today.

"Hey, you’re welcome."

Dou Dou flashed a goofy smile, looking quite silly.

"You’re welcome to visit our home," Yang Qingfang said.

"Auntie said you have a huge orchard, where is it? I can’t see it," Dou Dou stretched her neck, looking around.

The Han Changfa family: (°ー°〃)

Such a big orchard, could it be inside the house?

"The orchard is outside," Yang Qingfang said.

"Oh, then I’ll go take a look," Dou Dou said and immediately started to head out.

The Han Changfa couple exchanged glances, Yang Qingfang quickly said, "I’ll show you."

She hurried over.

"Alright."

Dou Dou willingly placed her little hand into Yang Qingfang’s palm, letting her hold it.

Her actions made Yang Qingfang pause, seeing her in a daze, Dou Dou curiously asked, "Aren’t you taking me?"

"Ah... right, right..." Yang Qingfang quickly nodded, tightening her hold on Dou Dou’s small hand.

"Let’s go together," Han Qiaoqi said.

"Right, let’s just go for a walk in the orchard," Han Changfa agreed hurriedly.

So the group left the house and headed towards their family’s orchard.

The Han family’s orchard isn’t far from their home, it’s within walking distance, but it’s the smallest one.

The Han family not only owns orchards in Bin Hai, but also in other areas of Qiong Province, with dedicated staff managing them.

The orchard in front of them is more like an experimental plot, cultivating and improving new varieties, which will be promoted in other orchards upon success.

"Auntie said your orchard is huge, with lots of fruits. Auntie really likes your orchard, and she even said she wanted an orchard like yours when she was little..."

Dou Dou chattered non-stop.

This little one was too adorable, dissipating the last trace of sadness in their hearts.

Even Yang Qingfang’s voice softened a bit.

"Who’s Auntie? She seems to know our family well?"

"Auntie is Auntie."

"Grandma means, what’s your auntie’s name?"

"Auntie’s name is Taozi," Dou Dou blurted out.

The group immediately understood, it made sense, only Taozi had been to their house and knew their orchard well.

But after hearing this, Han Changfa carefully looked at Dou Dou, then quietly said to Han Qiaoqi, "Is this little girl related to Taozi? They seem a bit similar in their eyebrows, but it’s been so long, I can’t quite recall."

With this reminder from Han Changfa, Han Qiaoqi discreetly observed and saw that they did share a slight resemblance.

The evening breeze carried a faint fruit scent, rustling the leaves.

The group walked along the stone path and soon arrived at the orchard gate.

Unlike the daytime bustle, the nighttime orchard was bathed in layers of lights, with warm yellow strings wrapped around the tree trunks, like strings of stars.

Between each row of trees stood tall solar lights, softly illuminating the branches, making the green leaves glow brightly, and the fruits hanging on branches shimmer with a tempting luster.

"Wow~"

Dou Dou couldn’t help but exclaim as soon as she stepped into the orchard, slipping away from Yang Qingfang’s hand, and fluttered in like a happy little butterfly.

She looked up, her round eyes wide open, taking in the sight before her, her mouth forming an "O" shape, "So many trees, so many fruits..."

She ran under a mango tree, tiptoeing to reach for the green mangoes on the branches, but she was too short, jumping several times without reaching them.

Yang Qingfang laughed, walked over, and patted her head, "These mangoes aren’t fully ripe yet, picking them now they’ll be a bit sour. Wait a few days till they are ripe, sweet and soft, and then you can pick as many as you want."

"Really?"

Dou Dou’s eyes sparkled, and she ran to a lychee tree, eyeing the red lychees among the branches leaves, "What about this fruit?"

"These are late-ripening lychees and they’re already sweet."

Han Changfa walked over, picked a ripe red lychee, peeled off the skin, revealing its crystal-clear flesh, and offered it to Dou Dou, "Here, try it, isn’t it sweet?"

Dou Dou carefully took it, popped it into her mouth, and gently took a bite.

Then she squinted her eyes.

"Oh wow, not bad," she said.

Han Qiaoqi burst into laughter again, yet Han Changfa and his wife didn’t understand what she found so amusing.

Dou Dou scurried around the orchard, poking here and pinching there, curious about everything.

Han Qiaoqi followed behind, watching Dou Dou’s cheerful figure, and then turned to the warm smiles of her parents. The grievances in her heart calmed down in this instant.

The evening breeze gently blew, lights flickered, and the aroma of fruits lingered, making her feel as though she had returned to her life before, with her family walking in the orchard, picking fruits, warm and happy.

The Han Changfa couple weren’t stingy, and the fruits weren’t worth much anyway, so whatever Dou Dou fancied, they picked it for her. Unknowingly, they had gathered a large pile.

When they realized, the pile had grown too large.

"Why don’t you give me an address, and I’ll have them delivered to your home tomorrow," Han Changfa suggested.

"No need, I can pack them away," Dou Dou waved her little hand.

She looked at the pile of fruits, thought for a moment, then turned her back.

Feeling something was off, she turned back around.

Then she was like a dog chasing its tail, spinning in circles on the spot.

"What are you doing?" Han Qiaoqi asked curiously.

"I’m packing the fruits away."

"Do you need to spin in circles to pack them away?" Han Qiaoqi said, quite speechlessly.

"Oh, right." That sentence seemed to remind Dou Dou.

She immediately stopped, and then backed up a few steps, plopping her bottom onto the pile of fruits.

"Careful." Yang Qingfang instinctively warned.

But at that moment, the whole pile of fruits disappeared, and Dou Dou plopped onto the ground.

Dou Dou stood up, dusted off her bottom and hands, looking smug.

"han~"

Oops, I’ve turned into Tang Tang, she quickly covered her mouth with her hands.

And early the next morning, Shen Siyuan came out of his room to find a heap of fruits in the living room.

Shen Siyuan: ...
