Chapter 263 Going to buy a cat like Grandpa Panda
After hearing Yuan Bao's words, the maternal grandfather was the first to express his opinion.
He nodded slightly, his eyes full of approval: "Baowa's idea is great! Our whole family hasn't gathered like this in a long time. If we could go to Beijing together for the New Year, it would be so lively and meaningful."
After a moment's thought, Mr. Yuan also thought the suggestion was feasible: "Okay, since Baowa is so enthusiastic, let's give it a try. However, you'll have to take the lead in contacting your uncle and the others."
Yuan Bao was so excited he almost jumped up, and quickly replied, "No problem, leave it to me!"
After saying that, she immediately picked up the phone and dialed her uncle's number.
On the other end of the phone, his uncle's familiar voice came through: "Hey, Yuan Bao, what's up?"
Yuan Baoqing cleared his throat and said that he planned to go to Beijing for the Spring Festival. He also wanted to go with his uncle's family, his aunt's family, and his other aunt's family. He emphasized that there was no need to worry about accommodation, as everything had been arranged.
After hearing this, the uncle first exclaimed in surprise, "Oh!" and then burst into laughter: "Yuan Bao, your idea is brilliant!"
Your aunt and uncle have been wanting to take your cousin to Beijing for a while now, so this is a good opportunity. Okay, our whole family will definitely go!
Yuan Bao hung up the phone with his uncle, his face beaming with joy. He then dialed his aunt's number.
After listening to Yuan Bao's story, Auntie was equally interested: "Oh, Yuan Bao, this is great news! Since we don't have to work at the factory now, it would be wonderful if we could go to Beijing with you for the New Year. I was just afraid of causing you any trouble."
Yuan Bao quickly replied, "Auntie, what are you saying? It's always better for our family to be together and have a lively time!"
After settling things off with his aunt, Yuan Baoma contacted his other aunt without delay.
After hearing Yuan Bao's description, his aunt excitedly asked on the other end of the phone, "Yuan Bao, really? Is the whole family going to Beijing for the Spring Festival?"
The accommodations have all been arranged! That's great!
Our company isn't doing well right now, so we've already given everyone a holiday! I'll ask your uncle if he can spare the time. If he can't, your cousin and I will go with you. We'll go to Beijing and broaden our horizons!
In just half an hour, Yuan Bao successfully persuaded his uncle's family, his aunt's family, and his other aunt's family.
She ran back to the yard excitedly and reported to her family: "Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, Uncle and Aunt all agreed. My aunt said she and my cousin will definitely go. We're just waiting to ask my aunt's husband about the time."
It looks like our whole family will be going to Beijing for the Chinese New Year!
The whole family beamed with joy upon hearing the news, and the courtyard was filled with laughter.
Mr. Yuan smiled and said, "Yuan Bao, you're really something! Now that everyone has agreed, we need to plan it out properly. Accommodation and itinerary arrangements all need to be finalized in advance."
Yuan Bao nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry about that! Everything will be arranged perfectly."
Yuan Bao secretly planned that the four adjacent courtyard houses would be the best choice for his residence in Beijing.
She figured she needed to find an opportunity to subtly hint to her family, laying the groundwork for a future family relocation to Beijing.
After all, this courtyard house is spacious and has the characteristics of Beijing. If the whole family moved here, they could gather and live here, which would be very pleasant.
However, Yuan Bao knew perfectly well that he couldn't just give the house away for nothing.
It would be better to sell it to my uncle, aunt, and great-aunt at an extremely affordable price. This way, everyone can have a place to settle down in Beijing, and the gift will seem reasonable and make everyone feel more at ease.
When her aunt was mentioned, Yuan Bao frowned slightly, her heart filled with worry.
In the real world, my aunt's life is actually quite difficult.
She was born in an era of scarcity and war, which left her with health problems that prevented her from having children.
His first marriage was even more unbearable to recall, as he suffered greatly from domestic violence.
She later remarried, and her current husband is now her aunt's husband, who has children with him.
However, in this marriage, the uncle's children disliked the aunt, and the aunt always felt inferior and lived cautiously.
Later, she went to live with her uncle and his children. When she fell ill, she not only failed to receive proper care and treatment, but also tragically passed away.
Fortunately, in the game world, Yuan Bao used his abilities to successfully cure his aunt's illness.
But my aunt is quite old, and it would be extremely difficult for her to have another child.
After much thought, Yuan Baosi decided to find an opportunity to persuade his aunt and uncle to divorce, and then move to Beijing with his family to develop their careers.
From now on, I will definitely take care of my aunt in her old age and see her off when she passes away.
Or perhaps, in a new environment, Auntie will meet someone who truly cares for her and begin a brand new, happy life.
Yuan Bao thought about all this for only a few minutes. When he came to his senses, he saw his family sitting together, discussing the details of going to Beijing for the New Year.
Yuan Bao took out his notebook, listened attentively, and took notes on everyone's thoughts.
My grandfather said he wanted to see the old hutongs in Beijing and experience the traditional culture of the capital.
Mom hopes to go shopping at a famous department store and buy some New Year's gifts;
Of course, everyone wanted to go to the Great Wall to watch the flag-raising ceremony.
As Yuan Bao took notes, he mentally planned to make sure the trip was arranged perfectly so that the whole family could have wonderful memories.
Halfway through the discussion, Yuan Bao suddenly remembered: "Oh right, I should tell Boss Chen later. With so many people going, maybe he can give some advice and help with the arrangements."
Everyone agreed.
Yuan Bao dialed Boss Chen's number again and politely explained the situation.
Upon hearing this, Boss Chen laughed heartily and said, "That's great! It's more lively with more people. The most important thing about coming here is accommodation, and since you've arranged that, everything else is not a problem."
As for the itinerary, I will arrange a minibus and a sightseeing route for you, ensuring you won't need to go.
After hanging up the phone, Yuan Bao relayed Boss Chen's words to his family, and everyone was filled with anticipation for the trip to Beijing.
Just then, the phone rang abruptly.
Yuan Bao walked over to the telephone and saw that it was a call from his uncle's family.
Picking up the receiver, I heard my cousin Xiaoshan's excited voice coming from the other end. It turned out that he had come home from school at noon and heard his uncle and aunt talking excitedly about going to Beijing with his family for the Chinese New Year. He was so excited that he couldn't wait to call and confirm it again.
Then Xiaoshan's urgent and excited voice came over: "Cousin, cousin! I heard we're going to Beijing together for Chinese New Year, is it true? Is it really true?"
Hearing his cousin's expectant voice, Yuan Bao smiled and replied, "It's true, Xiao Shan. Our whole family will go, and we'll have a lively and festive New Year in Beijing."
Xiaoshan cheered and then fired off a barrage of questions: "What's fun to do in Beijing?"
Cousin, please tell me about it!
Oh, and by the way, could you take me to buy a cat like Grandpa Panda? I really love those kinds of cats.
Yuan Bao was amused by her cousin's innocence. Her eyes lit up, and she said, "Xiao Shan, if you get first place in your final exams, your cousin will take you shopping, okay?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Xiaoshan said decisively, "Okay, cousin, it's a deal! I'll definitely work hard and get first place in the final exam!"
After hanging up the phone, Yuan Bao pictured Xiao Shan looking energetic, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his face.
