Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 11 - Family Banquet (Request for Monthly Ticket)
Chapter 11: Chapter 11 Family Banquet (Request for Monthly Ticket)
Actually, Shen Siyuan has a way to resurrect Dou Dou, which is to have Jiang Wenxin give birth to Dou Dou once again.
The specific method is for Jiang Wenxin to conceive a second child, but before the soul of the embryo emerges, allow Dou Dou to borrow the body to reincarnate, returning to the mortal world and becoming the daughter of the couple.
Unfortunately, this requires the help of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, which is now badly damaged, and he lacks the mana, so he currently cannot use such a magic skill.
Therefore, he hasn't told them, with no hope, naturally, there is no disappointment.
After finishing the talk related to Dou Dou, the couple did not continue this topic, perhaps feeling that the previous topic was too heavy, so they discussed lighter matters afterward.
For example, Tao Guangsha told Shen Siyuan that he is in the restaurant business, owning several brand chains, although profitable, there are many trivial matters, and work can be very busy.
And Shen Siyuan also felt from the conversation that Jiang Wenxin must have asked her colleagues about him, knowing quite a lot about him, even mentioning arranging a blind date for him.
Shen Siyuan was somewhat baffled, why all these women were eager to introduce him to potential partners.
-----------------
"Mr. Shen, please come in..."
As soon as the door opened, Dou Dou was the first to dart in, jumping and hopping around the house like a little monkey.
"Mom, I want to watch cartoons."
She jumped onto the sofa, not sitting, but climbed onto the back of the sofa, stepping on the spine, and walked forward along the wall.
She habitually called out for mom, but obviously, her mom couldn't hear her.
Fortunately, there was dad Tao Guangsha, who directly turned on the TV and played "Paw Patrol" for her.
The little one immediately calmed down, sitting quietly on the sofa.
Seeing her like this, Tao Guangsha sighed, then said to Jiang Wenxin, "Let's keep the TV on at home in the future, playing cartoons."
Jiang Wenxin nodded understandingly.
And Shen Siyuan took the opportunity to look around the room's furnishings.
The house was very large, a spacious flat, at least one hundred eighty square meters.
The large balcony, more than ten meters long, offered an extremely broad view. At this time in the evening, the sunset dyed the clouds at the horizon red, and the orange sunlight spilled on the balcony, giving a very warm feeling.
On the right corner of the balcony, there were several empty flowerpots.
"Dou Dou's mother used to love gardening, but after the accident with Dou Dou, she stopped gardening altogether."
Tao Guangsha looked at those empty pots and deeply sighed.
Shen Siyuan's mother, Huang Huijuan, also liked gardening, but whatever she planted would die, the more carefully she took care of them, the faster they died. On the contrary, plants left in the corner of the yard where no one cared for them thrived vigorously.
And whenever that happened, Huang Huijuan would be very proud, boasting that it was all her doing.
"Mr. Shen, what would you like to drink?"
Just then, Jiang Wenxin came over to ask, and she also noticed the empty pots on the balcony.
Looking at her husband, she then said, "When I have time, I'll fill these pots with plants."
After speaking, she called into the house, "Dou Dou, do you want to garden with mom?"
After she finished, her eyes turned to Tao Guangsha, who said with a smile, "She said she does."
Jiang Wenxin appeared very pleased.
Shen Siyuan looked puzzled, because Dou Dou was watching the cartoon, staring at the TV, with a dull expression, giggling stupidly, completely not hearing her mom.
Tao Guangsha winked at him secretly, and Shen Siyuan didn't expose them.
Dinner was quite lavish, though it was a home dinner, it wasn't Jiang Wenxin who did the cooking.
Instead, Tao Guangsha had someone come over to cook, he himself being in the catering business, called a few skilled chefs to make several dishes at home, which was simply no trouble.
After these people finished cooking, they left, they didn't even meet Shen Siyuan.
Dou Dou looked eagerly at the table full of delicious food, appearing very pitiful.
Seeing Tao Guangsha repeatedly sighing, he said to Shen Siyuan, it's no wonder that people can't face ghosts, otherwise who could bear it, this is for the betterment of people.
Although ghosts can't eat food, they can "eat Qi". Dou Dou approached a plate of rice wine-marinated braised pork and took a sniff, her cheeks then turned rosy and her eyes became misty, giving the impression she was drunk.
However, the feeling came quickly and left quickly. Dou Dou soon sobered up, leaving Tao Guangsha dumbfounded.
Because they wanted to spend more time with Dou Dou, the couple had a quick bite for both breakfast and lunch today, totally unaware of such a phenomenon.
"Why else do we need offerings when we worship the deceased? Especially alcohol, it's the essence of grain and has the richest scent. Many ancient customs actually make sense," Shen Siyuan explained with a smile.
"Then we'll make more dishes in the future," Jiang Wenxin said.
"There's no need for that. The good thing about modern society is the abundance of food. Besides, although ghosts 'eat Qi', it doesn't really benefit them much; it's just a simple craving..."
Shen Siyuan then simply shared some knowledge about ghosts with them.
Tao Guangsha was naturally a businessman, very talkative, and good at speaking. As they sipped drinks lightly, Shen Siyuan found himself speaking more than he realized.
However, they were very discreet and did not inquire about the origins of Shen Siyuan's abilities.
It was only because of Dou Dou that they connected. Being newly acquainted, they avoided deeper topics to preserve the potential for friendship.
Clearly, they wanted to be friends with someone like Shen Siyuan.
Whether it was for their daughter or because of Shen Siyuan's abilities.
"Mr. Shen, I toast to you," Jiang Wenxin stood up with a glass in her hand.
"Accountant Jiang, no need to be so formal."
Shen Siyuan reluctantly stood up, this was Jiang Wenxin's fourth toast to him.
"Please, sit... just sit and talk..."
"Accountant Jiang, don't always call me Mr. Shen. We will see each other often at the office, and it might not sound good to others. You are older than me, you can call me Xiao Shen, or Si Yuan is fine..."
"Alright then, Sister will take the liberty to call you Xiao Shen, and you shouldn't always call me Accountant Jiang, just call me Sister Jiang. For Dou Dou's sake, let's keep in touch more often..."

After saying this, she drank all the wine in her glass.
She was quite adept at seizing the opportunity, but Shen Siyuan didn't mind it.
Just as she said, as a mother, for Dou Dou, she would surely need to communicate more in the future.
Then Jiang Wenxin brought up the topic of blind dating again.
"It's a cousin of mine, a beautiful girl with high education, someone whose background I completely know. If she weren't a good girl, I surely wouldn't introduce her to you. You two can meet, no problem if it doesn't work out..."
Jiang Wenxin was very enthusiastic, and of course, her zeal was not simply about playing matchmaker.
She had her own motives; she wanted to make Shen Siyuan part of the family so Dou Dou would never lack care in the future.
With the conversation reaching this point, Shen Siyuan didn't refuse.
He was already twenty-six, indeed it was time to find a girlfriend, whether to meet physiological needs or to deal with his mother's relentless matchmaking.
Before they even finished dinner, Dou Dou disappeared in front of Tao Guangsha's eyes, even before he could tell her some words.
Seeing the look in the couple's eyes, Shen Siyuan felt somewhat compassionate, thus he said, "There will be more opportunities in the future."
Upon hearing this, the couple relaxed and smiled again.
After dinner, Shen Siyuan didn't stay long and directly said goodbye without letting Tao Guangsha drive him.
Then, the couple sat on the sofa with their daughter, watching a cartoon, unaware that Dou Dou had already left with Shen Siyuan.
Shen Siyuan raised his pinky, remembering their previous pinky promise.
"How about it, I didn't lie to you, right? Letting your mom and dad see you, and talk to you..."
"Um~ hmm, Guoguo is amazing, Guoguo is a great person..."
Dou Dou looked up in admiration, very adorable.
Just then, a strand of golden light suddenly fell from the sky...
