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

"Oh, oh..."

Tang Tang was very bored at this moment. Ever since Shen Siyuan went to Si Ming, she didn't have anyone she could talk to.

So she squatted on the balcony, chatting with the wind.

Mao Sanmei felt a bit sad seeing Tang Tang like this. She couldn't speak, making it hard to communicate well with Tang Tang.

So after Shen Siyuan left, the house felt particularly quiet.

Mao Sanmei put down her work, walked to the balcony, and squatted down beside Tang Tang.

Tang Tang turned her head, looking at her mom somewhat surprised, not understanding why she was squatting there too. Did she also want to chat with the wind?

So she crooked her little finger, and a gust of wind immediately messed up Mao Sanmei's hair.

But apparently, Mao Sanmei didn't notice at all.

Tang Tang felt a bit disappointed, so she asked, "Where did brother go?"

Mao Sanmei smiled and gestured with her hands.

"When will brother return?" Tang Tang asked again.

Mao Sanmei gestured once more.

They were completely talking past each other.

Besides, Tang Tang's speech was all jumbled up; it was uncertain whether she hadn't fully learned how to speak or she simply liked to babble nonsense.

"Huff huff huff..."

Tang Tang blew at the sky a few times angrily, and immediately a gust of wind howled past.

Mao Sanmei, seeing Tang Tang suddenly unpleased, felt sad too.

After thinking for a moment, she reached out and grabbed Tang Tang's little hand, helping her stand up.

Tang Tang did not resist, blinking her large eyes as she looked at her.

Mao Sanmei pointed at her, then at herself, and finally toward the outside of the community.

This time Tang Tang understood her meaning. Mother wanted to take her out to play, so she nodded her little head repeatedly.

"Han~"

Drool dripped from the corner of her mouth onto her bib, making her look silly.

So Mao Sanmei packed some things and took Tang Tang downstairs.

It was the hottest time in the afternoon, probably not the best time to go out, but Mao Sanmei couldn't stand Tang Tang being bored at home, so she decided to take her out for a stroll despite the heat.

The little one wore a blue polka-dot dress and a yellow sun hat, appearing lively and spirited.

Mao Sanmei was holding an umbrella, though it didn't cover herself from the sunlight, it provided shade entirely for Tang Tang.

"Mr. Yue, Xiu Qian Yuan. Riding a white horse, crossing a deep pond. The deep pond is deep, water doesn't reach the feet..."

This was a children's song Duoduo sang before, which the wind heard and taught Tang Tang.

Watching the little one singing loudly, even under the scorching sun, made Mao Sanmei genuinely happy.

Just then, Tang Tang seemed to have discovered something. She puckered her little bottom, picking something up.

But soon she let go, puffing her cheeks and blowing into her palm.

The thing she just picked up rolled to the side.

Only then did Mao Sanmei realize it was a one yuan coin. Having been exposed to the sun all day long, it burned Tang Tang's little hand when she picked it up.

Mao Sanmei didn't mind the coin, quickly grabbed Tang Tang's little hand to check and found no major issues, breathed a sigh of relief, and picked up the coin.

"When we get there, I'll buy you something to eat."

Mao Sanmei gestured with her hands, but Tang Tang didn't quite understand her, merely grinning foolishly.

Mao Sanmei felt a bit forlorn, but she didn't show it on her face, instead, signaling Tang Tang to keep moving forward.

"I am a little bunny, woof woof woof, I am a little duck, meow meow meow..."

Tang Tang started singing loudly again, singing a song she made up herself.

But before long, her forehead was covered in sweat, the weather was simply too hot.

Seeing this, Mao Sanmei quickly pulled out a small fan and fanned her a couple of times.

Tang Tang felt a gust of cool breeze and then stupidly stared at the swaying little fan in Mao Sanmei's hand, showing a look of surprise.

"Han~"

She puckered her little lips and blew a few blows into the air.

Suddenly, a gust of strong wind arose out of nowhere, turning the umbrella inside out and blowing off Tang Tang's small hat, yet it also brought a cooling sensation.

Mao Sanmei was in a fluster, but Tang Tang grinned widely and seemed particularly happy.

She even wanted to lift up her little dress and let the wind blow on her tummy, but Mao Sanmei stopped her and made a shy gesture on her face.

Seeing this, Tang Tang didn't lift her dress again, not because she felt shy, just simply because Mao Sanmei told her not to, so she didn't do it.

The two exited the community and felt even hotter.

The greenery inside the community provided some shade, but outside alongside the road, there was hardly any covering.

Mao Sanmei hesitated about whether to take Tang Tang back, but Tang Tang had already toddled ahead on her little legs.

It turned out there was a supermarket nearby, with a few kiddie rides parked at the entrance.

The attraction kiddie rides hold for children is no less than a luxury car holds for adults.

Tang Tang toddled over to a sheep-themed ride, climbing up with her little bottom pouted. Fortunately, these kiddie rides were under a shade; otherwise, sitting on them would have roasted her bottom.

The one-yuan coin Tang Tang picked up earlier came in handy now, and Mao Sanmei unhesitatingly inserted it.

As the ride started to sway, Tang Tang grinned wider, though this also meant more drool, soon dampening her bib, but Mao Sanmei didn't change it, she just turned it around, using the other half. With such heat, the wet side would dry soon, going around in circles meant no need for a new one.

Of course, this method had its downside, no matter how Tang Tang didn't have bad breath, the bib would have an unpleasant smell.

Each time this happened, Tang Tang would crane her neck, tilt her nose up, with a disdainful look, which was quite amusing.

The ride was short, stopping after less than five minutes, and Tang Tang looked at Mao Sanmei.

Mao Sanmei spread her hands, indicating there was no more.

Having lived through hard times, she would prefer to spend money on buying food or clothes for Tang Tang rather than on this, feeling it was no different from throwing money away.

Mao Sanmei pointed toward the supermarket, meaning to buy snacks for her.

But clearly, the kiddie ride attracted Tang Tang more than snacks did.

Tang Tang unwillingly poked her little finger at the coin slot.

The coin slot of the kiddie ride usually had two openings, the top was for inserting coins, and the bottom was for coin returns. If coins got stuck, you could just pull the middle refund button to have them return from the bottom.

Right then, Tang Tang jiggled the refund button twice, and two coins dropped out from the bottom.

"Han~"

She picked up the coins, looking at Mao Sanmei with excitement.

Mao Sanmei: ...

So Tang Tang enjoyed two free rides on the sheep, and then joyfully followed her mom into the supermarket.

Once inside the store, Mao Sanmei noticed they were having a promotional event.

Buying things today qualified for a lottery draw with plenty of prizes like rice cookers, televisions, fans, etc.

But Tang Tang instantly took a liking to a peanut-shaped scooter among them.

"Oh~ oh~"

She pointed at the scooter, her big eyes sparkling, expressing her desire for it.
