Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 250 Yunduo Convenience Store

Chapter 250: Chapter 250 Yunduo Convenience Store

Jiang Yingxue sat on the sofa, holding a mirror, admiring herself continuously, looking good no matter how she looked.

Originally, she took care of her skin every week, trying every means to eliminate the crow’s feet and nasolabial folds, which now had all disappeared.

"Ruan Ruan."

"What?"

"In the future, when we’re outside, don’t call me Mom, call me Sister, get it?"

"You really are something," Ruan Hongzhuang was utterly speechless, not knowing what to say.

"Don’t age your mom by calling her old."

"Is it because I call you that, you’re old?" Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"Of course, it’s not just because of that, but also the frustration."

"Had I known, I wouldn’t have given the Elixir Pill to you," Ruan Hongzhuang said, annoyed.

"Unfilial daughter, when there’s something good, of course, you should think of your mom first."

"Now I’m your mom?"

"Alright, let’s not drone on. What are you still sitting around here for?"

"If I don’t sit here, where else can I sit? Head back to my room to sleep? It’s still early, isn’t it?"

"What I mean is, aren’t you going to keep Xiao Shen company? He must feel very lonely sleeping alone at night. As his girlfriend, shouldn’t you be by his side at this time?"

Ruan Hongzhuang was dumbstruck and gave Jiang Yingxue a thumbs up.

"Mom, I really... really..." she didn’t even know what to say anymore.

After struggling for a while, she finally said, "Aren’t I staying here to keep you company?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingxue said with distaste, "Do I need your company? Besides, you’ve been with me for over twenty years; I don’t care about these few more days..."

Ruan Hongzhuang: ...

"Duoduo, what do you think of my grocery store; are you satisfied?" Lin Libo looked at Duoduo with a hopeful expression, wishing for her praise.

Duoduo didn’t say anything but just extended her thumb and gave him a like, then shifted her gaze to look around.

The entire shop was decorated in the style of the 80s, similar to the supply and marketing cooperatives back then.

Unlike today’s mini supermarkets, the shelves were behind glass cabinets, rows of products were dazzling and carried a nostalgic charm.

Moreover, the shop’s sign also bore Duoduo’s name, named "Yunduo Convenience Store."

Lin Jianming and his wife were also inspecting the interior decoration of the store, their faces showing pleasant surprise.

Not only did the decoration resemble the 80s style, but it was also deliberately aged. Even the wooden supports of the glass cabinets were painted red, not the aluminum alloy used today. Standing inside gave people a sense of traveling back in time.

In fact, not just aging, Lin Libo had arranged the interior layout also according to the memory of the little shop he and Duoduo remembered.

So for Duoduo, this wasn’t just about memories; she felt as if she had returned to those joyful days of the past.

She was gleefully running around in the store, often bending over and sticking out her bottom, curiously examining the wide array of goods in the glass cabinets, her eyes filled with anticipation and joy.

"This store is ours now, and if you like anything, you can go grab it yourself," Lin Jianming squatted beside her and whispered in her ear.

"Really?" Duoduo asked expectantly.

"Of course," Lin Jianming and Song Qingwei said in unison.

Song Qingwei took her behind the counter.

"Wow, White Rabbit candies..."

"Oh, preserved fruit peels..."

"Hehe, there are bubble gums too, I can blow bubbles..."

"Fruit candy... Mung bean cake... Plum powder..."

"Eh, there’s even a Kaleidoscope..."

Watching the Kaleidoscope, identical to the one from her past, Duoduo couldn’t hold back any longer and grabbed one to peer through it.

Seeing Duoduo enumerate the names of the products like a treasure, Lin Jianming, Song Qingwei, and Lin Libo felt a hint of bitterness in their hearts.

Duoduo had never forgotten...

She was still herself...

She still lived in the past...

...

"Li Bo, well done, you’ve really put your heart into it."

As Lin Jianming watched Li Bo standing there in a daze, he let out a rare sigh of sentiment and offered his praise.

"Dad, what are you talking about? Duoduo is my sister, she’s the most... the most..." Li Bo felt like he was about to cry.

"Alright, you’re all grown up now, how can you still be so easily moved?" Lin Jianming said this with his mouth, but he wasn’t doing much better himself.

"Duoduo, are you happy?" Song Qingwei squatted down in front of Duoduo and asked.

"Happy." A big smile spread across Duoduo’s face.

"Then you can’t be mad at your brother anymore, alright?"

"I’m not mad at him, am I?" Duoduo took the kaleidoscope away from her eyes and looked puzzled.

"Then why did your brother say you didn’t like him and that you were cold to him?"

"Ah, I’m disappointed in him." Duoduo furrowed her little brow and let out a long sigh.

"Why are you disappointed?" Song Qingwei was curious.

"He hid it from me, growing up so big secretly, and not waiting for me to grow together..."

Duoduo spread her arms wide to indicate the enormity of her statement.

"And in the past, when we watched TV and practiced light-footedness, I asked Bo Bo to jump down from the second floor to show me, but now that he’s grown up, he’s unwilling to jump. So, I’m really disappointed in him," Duoduo said seriously.

Song Qingwei: ...

"Pfft~"

Song Qingwei laughed so hard she bent over and rocked back and forth.

"What are you saying, laughing so happily?"

Song Qingwei stood up and relayed Duoduo’s words to the two men.

Upon hearing them, Lin Jianming also couldn’t help laughing uncontrollably; only Li Bo had a bashful look on his face.

He hadn’t just grown up; he had grown a brain.

...

"Hey, there’s a little store here?"

Just then, a voice interrupted them.

A man and a woman walked in from outside, holding smartphones and with backpacks on, evidently two tourists.

Lin Jianming was about to say that they weren’t open for business and not serving the public yet.

But then he saw Duoduo already scrambling over the counter, standing on her tiptoes, and loudly declaring, "Selling stuff, what do you want to buy?"

"Wow, such a cute little girl..."

Lin Jianming swallowed back what he was about to say and instead chimed in, "Just opened for business, take a look; see if there’s anything you like."

"Owner, your shop has such a unique charm, could we take a picture?"

"Of course, feel free to take pictures, just not of people; you’re welcome to take photos of anything else."

Song Qingwei said this while pulling Duoduo behind her, ensuring the camera couldn’t capture her.

"Thank you, owner."

The two tourists were very polite, took out their smartphones, snapped a few photos around the shelves and the counter, and then bought a keychain before leaving.

"Didn’t expect to actually make a sale," Lin Jianming said, somewhat surprised, as they left.

"Everyone is into nostalgia these days, and there are quite a few tourists around here. Doing business isn’t strange," Li Bo commented.

"Big fortune, big fortune..." Duoduo excitedly patted the counter.

"Haha, from now on Duoduo, you’ll be the boss, is that okay? You can sell the things."

"Okay!" Duoduo excitedly nodded her head.

Watching Duoduo’s adorable ways, Li Bo felt that all the hard work of this period was worthwhile.

The only problem left was how to explain everything to his wife and children once he got back.

He had changed quite a bit; he didn’t even know if his wife would recognize him, headache...

Why not have them come directly to Bin Hai?

Li Bo thought to himself, feeling this might just be a good solution. After all, his parents and Duoduo were all there; seeing is believing...
