Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 870 - 867: Eating and Drinking

When Tao Guangsha entered the dining room, he was also shocked, his eyes wide open.

The way Dou Dou was eating made his heart stir with mixed emotions.

He didn’t feel much when he learned his daughter couldn’t eat.

But one time when he was dining with Jiang Wenxin, the little one watched with yearning eyes, and an indescribable sadness welled up in his heart.

Dou Dou was a little foodie in her lifetime, and not being able to eat was a cruel punishment for her.

But fortunately, Dou Dou remained optimistic and was able to eat Qi, allowing her to taste flavors, although he had asked Dou Dou, and eating Qi couldn’t compare to real eating.

Eating Qi is like smelling the aroma of food and your mind automatically fills in the taste, but not actually eating lacks that layering sensation of real taste.

"How... how can you eat?" Tao Guangsha asked in shock.

This time, Dou Dou didn’t need to explain. Jiang Wenxin explained the situation to him briefly.

Dou Dou kept her head down and ate as if compensating for the years she hadn’t eaten.

"Don’t eat too much, Dad has ordered something delicious, it’ll arrive soon."

"Really? Are there any big drumsticks?" Dou Dou lifted her head excitedly.

"Uh... no big drumsticks, but there is your favorite pan-seared cod."

"Wow... then I won’t eat, Mom, you can have it."

She directly pushed the messy little cake she was "gorging" on to Jiang Wenxin.

"Now you remember Mom?"

Jiang Wenxin couldn’t help but find it amusing, as she pulled out a wet wipe, carefully wiping the little one’s dirty face.

Seeing her daughter tilt her head, allowing her to do as she wished, Jiang Wenxin was taken aback. She couldn’t remember how long it had been since she helped her daughter wipe her mouth this way.

The action felt both familiar and awkward.

Beside them, Tao Guangsha didn’t notice any of this, and couldn’t help but curiously ask, "What Great General did Potato appoint you as?"

"General Dou," Dou Dou said proudly.

Actually, neither parent really believed it; after all, unless you were out of your mind, who would appoint a little kid as a Great General?

So Tao Guangsha continued to ask, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes, I was also made a big official. Sister Xiao Yue said it was a really, really big official."

"What kind of official?"

"Just the Wolf, but Potato is quite strange. Why just the Wolf, and not the rabbit, the little deer, or the big lion..."

"Just the Wolf?"

The couple was puzzled by what they heard.

"So what do you have to do? It can’t just be eating, right? Haha..."

Saying this, Jiang Wenxin couldn’t help but laugh.

Dou Dou: →_→

"Uh... Mom was just joking, don’t be angry," Jiang Wenxin said awkwardly with a smile.

"Duoduo and I are responsible for escorting deceased people back," Dou Dou said.

"Oh, so you’re a guide."

Tao Guangsha realized, wasn’t this what she did before? So, there’s no real change.

"Yes, yes, Potato also appointed me as the Guiding Child," Dou Dou finally remembered that she had such a role.

"Wow, Potato appointed you to three big positions at once," Jiang Wenxin said with an exaggerated tone.

They figured they had pretty much heard all they could from Dou Dou.

To get specific details, they would have to ask Shen Siyuan.

Of course, such matters should certainly not be discussed over the phone, as that would be too disrespectful.

They would have to visit and properly thank him.

Because whether Dou Dou was "Just the Wolf," a Great General, or just a small Guiding Child, it meant she was no longer merely a ghost, but a being with divine appointments.

But since Shen Siyuan could confer titles to Dou Dou, they were genuinely curious about what kind of divine position he held.

At this time, the doorbell rang, indicating the food delivery had arrived.

Dou Dou immediately stood up on the chair, waving her little hand excitedly, "I’m going to feast..."

While Dou Dou’s family was eating, Duoduo’s family was also preparing for dinner.

Although typically only Lin Jianming and Song Qingwei dined together, they always prepared a set for Duoduo. Even though Duoduo couldn’t eat, the ritual was important.

Even now, with Lin Wentao there, they simply added another set of dishes, without occupying or moving Duoduo’s spot.

"Taotao, come for dinner."

Song Qingwei was responsible for cooking, and Lin Jianming for serving the dishes.

After bringing out the final dish, Lin Jianming immediately called out.

"Taotao, come for dinner."

Lin Wentao, who was watching TV with Duoduo, responded immediately.

But he didn’t move until Song Qingwei came out of the kitchen and called again, and only then did he walk towards the dining table reluctantly.

Still, even then, he frequently glanced back at the TV screen.

But just when he sat down, he noticed Duoduo also sitting down nearby.

No one paid attention, as Duoduo could eat Qi, so sometimes she would come to the table too.

Lin Jianming even began nagging Lin Wentao.

"You can’t keep watching TV, have you finished your homework? School is about to start, you need to get back into the mindset and so on..."

Overall, Lin Wentao listened with one ear and let it out the other, without arguing. He genuinely envied his little aunt at that moment, thinking it was good to be a ghost, no school, no homework.

"How’s the taste of this shrimp?"

Nearby, Song Qingwei placed a garlic shrimp in Duoduo’s bowl.

By "taste," she obviously meant for Duoduo to "smell" it, then she would take it back to eat herself, to avoid waste.

Usually, Duoduo would lower her head, take a deep breath, and an invisible breath would enter her belly.

But today, Duoduo used the chopsticks nearby to put the shrimp her mom had placed in her bowl into her mouth.

The three of them continued chatting without noticing, until Duoduo ate the shrimp meat and spat out the shell, only then did they react.

"Huh? How can you eat?" Lin Wentao shouted in surprise.

Lin Jianming and his wife were too excited to speak.

"What’s going on?"

Lin Jianming asked with some excitement.

Song Qingwei’s reaction was noticeably different from his.

She was tearful, filled with guilt, saying, "You should have told Mom earlier, Mom would have made more of what you like to eat."

"Everything you make, Mom, I love," Duoduo said.

Hearing this, Song Qingwei felt even more moved, reaching out to hug her tightly, softly stroking her little face.

"So good... so good..." Her voice was choked with emotion, nearly unable to form a complete sentence.

Duoduo living like an ordinary person held extraordinary significance for Song Qingwei.
