Chapter 98 proudly introduces Little 9
"Mom and Dad, don't be so surprised!" Yuan Bao said with a smile, trying to calm his parents' shock.
Her tone was light and confident, "When it's time to go to Beijing, Grandpa Chen will definitely help you find jobs, so don't worry about that."
At this point, Yuan Bao paused slightly, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes, and then said mysteriously, "There's something else, so you'd better hold on tight."
After I cured Grandpa Chen, his family gave me a courtyard house as a token of their gratitude! Yuan Bao didn't dare to reveal the actual number of courtyard houses. She knew that the news was too shocking, and if she told her parents everything at once, they would probably find it even harder to accept.
"And what's more! From now on, Xiao Lin's company will give me a share of the profits from the vision recovery medicine every month. So, really, there's no need to worry. Even if our family moves to Beijing now, we'll still have a better and better life!"
"If my grandparents are willing, they can come with us and enjoy their retirement." Yuan Bao poured out all his thoughts and plans for his future development in Beijing, his eyes full of anticipation for the future.
Mr. and Mrs. Yuan sat on the sofa, mouths agape, faces filled with disbelief, their eyes fixed on Yuan Bao as if listening to a fantastical tale.
The two of them stood there stunned for a while, seemingly still trying to process the massive amount of information they had just heard, unsure of how to react.
Baoguo stood to the side, watching his parents' expressions, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
He had already seen all ten courtyard houses in Beijing, and as someone in the know, he found it quite amusing to see his parents' surprised expressions.
"Yuan Bao, don't worry, I will definitely work harder and strive to finish high school with you in two years, and complete the task you set for me to get into a university in Beijing." Bao Guo said to Yuan Bao in order to break the awkwardness.
At this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Yuan finally realized what was happening and excitedly replied, "Great! We'll make preparations and go to Beijing with our daughter and son in two years."
"Mom and Dad, sit down and get ready for another surprise!" Yuan Bao suddenly stood up and shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice full of barely concealed excitement.
This shout startled Mr. and Mrs. Yuan. Their relaxed expressions instantly turned tense, their eyes filled with doubt, wondering what big move their daughter was up to this time.
Before the two elders could react, Yuan Bao turned around and, as if by magic, lifted the soulless little 9 high in front of them, a smug smile on his face.
He shouted loudly, "Ta-da! Look! This is our newest member, a super special cat-panda! Come on, say hello to everyone, meow meow meow!"
Mr. Yuan was startled by Yuan Bao's sudden action, his eyes widening in surprise. He instinctively shrank back, his face filled with astonishment.
When he saw the small 9 in Yuan Bao's hand, he was slightly taken aback, and then a look of curiosity appeared on his face.
He leaned closer to examine Little 9 closely, muttering, "This is really strange. I've lived most of my life and I've never seen a cat that looks so much like a panda."
Yuan's mother was first startled by Yuan Bao's actions and patted her chest, then pretended to be angry and patted Yuan Bao's shoulder.
She said irritably, "You silly girl, you're so jumpy! You almost scared your mother half to death. I thought something terrible had happened!"
Before she could finish speaking, Yuan's mother took a closer look and exclaimed, "Wow... it's a cat! Oh! This little guy is so rare, he looks just like a panda!" As she spoke, Yuan's mother couldn't wait to reach out and hug Little 9.
As if sensing the love of Mr. and Mrs. Yuan, Little 9 meowed a few times in perfect cooperation. The soft, sweet meows instantly touched the softest part of Mrs. Yuan's heart.
Aunt Yuan held Little 9 in her arms, gently stroking its fur. Her eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, and her affection was evident on her face.
She kept saying, "So cute, this will be our precious little one from now on."
Looking at the well-behaved little 9 in Yuan's mother's arms, Yuan's father couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke the little 9's head. The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, and he said with a smile, "This little guy is quite lovable. The house will be even more lively from now on."
“Little 9 is so well-behaved and easy to take care of!” Yuan Bao said with great enthusiasm, her eyes full of love and admiration for Little 9.
"Since I brought it home from Beijing a few days ago, I've noticed that it's always clean and tidy, not messy at all."
Moreover, it has excellent living habits; when it gets hungry, we don't have to worry about it, it will go find something good on its own.
It can eat whatever we usually eat, so we don't need to feed it anything special. It's really super easy to raise.
Also, the biggest worry for pet owners is shedding, but Little 9 won't have that problem. You don't have to worry about cat hair everywhere and making cleaning a hassle.
As Yuan Bao spoke, he silently added in his mind, "I have to give my family this preventative shot in advance, otherwise when Little 9's soul returns to its place..."
His foodie nature is on full display; when he's rummaging through the house for food, his family is bound to be terrified by this "little oddball."
The next morning, as the gentle sunlight shone on the earth, Yuan Bao and Bao Guo, carrying large and small bags of Beijing specialties, excitedly headed to their uncle's house.
Along the way, the two chatted and laughed, their minds filled with the image of their grandparents' delighted reaction to receiving the gifts.
When I arrived at my uncle's house, I saw my maternal grandparents sitting at the gate of the courtyard. My grandfather was reading a book, and my grandmother was picking tea leaves. Their faces were full of kind smiles.
Yuan Bao and Bao Guo hurriedly ran over and handed the clothes they had carefully selected for their grandparents to them.
"Grandpa and Grandma, these clothes are what we brought back for you from Beijing. Take a look and see if you like them!" Yuan Bao said with a smile, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Grandpa and Grandma, here are some local specialties from Beijing. I'm taking them inside. Let my uncles know when they arrive," Baoguo said briefly before taking the things inside.
During her conversation with her grandfather, Yuan Bao was pleasantly surprised to discover that her grandfather's left-side paralysis and speech difficulties, which had been caused by a stroke, had greatly improved after taking two cell recovery pills.
He can speak clearly now, his left arm, which was previously difficult to move, can now move more flexibly, and he no longer walks with a limp; his steps are much more steady.
Seeing the changes in his grandfather, Yuan Bao felt gratified, and the miraculous effect of the cell recovery pills was once again verified.
Meanwhile, Grandma's mental state improved, her complexion became rosy, and her eyes shone with vitality.
Seeing the two elderly people gradually recovering their health, Yuan Bao was genuinely happy.
Yuan Bao silently planned in his heart that once the system upgrade was completed, he must buy the formula for the cell restoration pill as soon as possible.
With the formula, we can produce more finished medicines, and then give each of my grandparents three pills to help them stay healthy and enjoy a happy old age.
Yuan Bao and Bao Guo sat beside their maternal grandparents, excitedly sharing their experiences from their trip to Beijing.
They talked about the bustling food street, with its dazzling array of goods and throngs of people;
When the topic of food came up, Yuan Bao's eyes lit up, and he gestured excitedly: "Grandpa and Grandma, this time when we went to Beijing, we were able to taste authentic Beijing roast duck and hot pot!"
The copper pot was served with a roaring charcoal fire. The clear broth contained only a few slices of ginger, scallions, and goji berries. It looked simple, but it was the best way to highlight the deliciousness of the mutton.
Thinly sliced lamb changes color instantly when dipped in the hot pot, then scooped out and coated with a generous layer of sesame sauce. The rich sesame sauce, the fresh aroma of chive blossoms, the intense flavor of fermented bean curd, combined with the tenderness of the lamb itself—one bite, and the taste warms from the tip of your tongue to your heart. It's so delicious you can't stop eating!
Bao Guo added from the side, "And the stir-fried liver, the sauce is thick and rich, the liver tips are tender and smooth, the large intestine is cleaned thoroughly without any odor, and you can feel the rich garlic flavor in every bite. Take a bite with a freshly baked bun, and it's so satisfying!"
After talking about the delicious food, Yuan Bao said enthusiastically, "Grandpa and Grandma, let's go to Beijing together next time we have the chance!"
Although Baoguo and I haven't been to the Forbidden City yet, we've heard that the palaces there are incredibly magnificent, with their flying eaves and intricate brackets, and every building holds countless historical stories.
Bao Guo nodded hurriedly from the side and added, "Yes, we're going to the square to watch the raising of the five-star red flag. Grandpa and Grandma need to take good care of themselves and try to leave early to queue up so they can stand at the very front and experience the solemnity and sacredness up close!"
When my grandparents heard that they were going to watch the flag-raising ceremony, their eyes instantly welled up with tears of excitement.
With slightly trembling hands, Grandma gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her face full of happy smiles. She said repeatedly, "Good, good! When we both get well, we'll go to Beijing with Yuanbao and Baoguo to watch the flag-raising ceremony and visit the Forbidden City. This is something we've been looking forward to all our lives!" Grandpa nodded repeatedly, his joy overflowing, as if he could already see that enviable scene.
Yuan Baochao's elder brother, Baoguo, gave him a wink, and Baoguo, understanding, continued, "When Yuan Baochao and I get into university in Beijing and buy a big house, Grandpa and Grandma will have to come and live with us then."
Upon hearing this, the grandparents were even more excited and repeatedly agreed!
