Chapter 192 They all went to Beijing to develop their careers.
Night fell like a soft black veil, quietly enveloping the courtyard. Warm yellow lights shone through the windows, adding a touch of coziness to the entire courtyard.
The courtyard's dining room is spacious and comfortable. The family sits around the table in a lively atmosphere, with the table laden with delicious-looking dishes. Steam rises from the table, carrying with it a strong sense of family affection.
My uncle's family, my aunt's family, and my other aunt's family were all filled with curiosity about the brand-new courtyard. Their eyes were full of inquiry and amazement. They would look around from time to time and mutter praises of the courtyard to themselves.
Noticing everyone's expressions, Yuan's mother smiled broadly. She turned her head, met Yuan Bao's gaze, and then cheerfully said, "Let my precious daughter tell everyone what she has to say!"
To be honest, we're all fortunate enough to live in such a nice place because of her.
Seeing this, Yuan Bao didn't keep them in suspense at all. He cleared his throat gracefully and explained the origin of the courtyard to his relatives in an orderly manner: "Before, it was purely by chance."
I happened to meet a distinguished person from the capital, whose father was ill. I used my medical skills to help cure him by accident.
After learning about our family's situation, this kind person felt indebted and insisted on expressing their gratitude properly. That's why they specially arranged this small courtyard for us.
Yuan Bao spoke in a calm and gentle tone, with a faint smile on his face.
The aunt was the first to widen her eyes, her face full of amazement, and she raised her voice to say, "My goodness, baby, you are amazing!"
Being able to cure the illness of a wealthy man's father at such a young age is a skill that not everyone possesses.
"From now on, we'll enjoy the good life with you!" As she spoke, her aunt patted Yuan Bao's shoulder affectionately, her eyes full of pride and admiration.
My aunt quickly chimed in, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "That's right, Yuan Bao, what you've done is truly remarkable. Look at this courtyard, so spacious and bright, it must be so comfortable to live in."
The uncle picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then nodded with a smile: "Yuan Bao, you've been clever and quick-witted since you were little. I never expected you to have such a skill before you even grew up!"
If you ever need your uncle's help in the future, just ask! Your uncle will definitely support you wholeheartedly!
"Hey! Uncle, you're right, I really do need your help with something. I'll tell you later!" Yuan Bao seized the opportunity to continue his uncle's conversation.
Upon hearing this, the uncle readily agreed, "Sure, I'm ready to help my niece without hesitation."
For a moment, the living room was filled with the relatives' praises. Everyone chimed in with their compliments for Yuan Bao, and they were all immersed in this joyful atmosphere, happily enjoying the food and chatting about everyday things. A warm and cozy feeling permeated the air.
As everyone was nearing the end of their meal, Yuan Bao seized the opportunity to subtly change the subject. He looked at his younger cousin with concern and asked gently, "Cousin, how have your studies and homework been these past few days?"
Upon hearing this, the two little ones instantly perked up, their eyes widening and their faces flushed with excitement as they chattered excitedly, vying to answer.
My cousin spoke first: "Sister, sister, I drank the enlightenment potion you gave me for three days in a row a few days ago. Wow, the feeling was simply amazing!"
It was as if my mind had been suddenly illuminated, and knowledge flooded in like a tidal wave.
Now, no matter what I'm learning, I learn it incredibly fast. I have an amazing memory; I can memorize the contents of a book at a glance.
Let me tell you, I've started self-studying junior high school courses now, and I understand a lot of the material at a glance.
My cousin wasn't going to be outdone, and quickly nodded in agreement, saying proudly, "Me too, me too, sister! I find studying so easy now, the questions all seem so simple! I've already self-studied up to the third-grade curriculum! Isn't that amazing?"
"Yes, you two are both very capable. Study hard and try to get into universities in Beijing, okay?"
“Okay!” “No problem!” the two little ones happily agreed.
Upon hearing the children's words, the uncle, aunt, and younger aunt were taken aback at first, but then suddenly realized what they meant.
Auntie exclaimed in surprise, "No wonder! These past few days, this little guy has been studying on his own as soon as he gets home, like a completely different person. So that's what happened!"
The uncle was also deeply moved, while the aunt looked at Yuan Bao with curiosity and gratitude in her eyes.
Everyone chimed in with their own comments, exclamations of surprise and laughter mingling together, pushing the joyful atmosphere of the evening to another climax.
Yuan Bao continued, "I have now completed all the high school courses through self-study and am preparing to take the college entrance examination next year. I will then take the exam for a university in Beijing with my brother."
Furthermore, given my younger cousin's current enthusiasm and talent for learning, I believe they would definitely become top students if they transferred to schools in Beijing.
That big shot in Beijing asked me before if I wanted to go to Beijing, and I agreed to go to university in Beijing.
So, Uncle, Aunt, and Youngest Aunt, how about we start planning for our whole family to move to Beijing in the future?
"Hiss!" "Yuan Bao, you really dare to think of such a thing!" The uncle and aunt exclaimed almost simultaneously, exchanging a glance with surprise and shock in their eyes.
They truly hadn't expected that Yuan Bao, at such a young age, would have such grand plans and ambitions, and such a clear and bold vision for the future.
The aunt was the first to look troubled, and sighed softly, saying, "Baby, your idea is good, but as for me, I've already bought out my years of service at the lumber mill, so I don't have any worries about work."
But what kind of place is Beijing? It's the capital city, where land is incredibly valuable and prices are shockingly high.
"We ordinary folks are used to living in this small county town. If we went there, we probably wouldn't even be able to afford the rent, let alone develop and settle down there. Just thinking about it makes me feel incredibly stressed." The aunt shook her head gently as she spoke, her eyes full of worry.
The uncle frowned and took over the conversation with a helpless look: "Besides, we still have some connections in this county, so we can help each other out if anything happens in our lives."
Upon arriving in Beijing, being unfamiliar with the place and its people, and completely clueless, one wouldn't know who to ask for help if they encountered any difficulties.
Besides, at our age, jobs are hard to find, and if we went there, we probably wouldn't even be able to make ends meet.
My aunt nodded repeatedly, agreeing, "Yes, the children are still young. I'm afraid they won't adapt well to a new environment. They'll have to start all over again in their studies and lives. I'm really worried about them."
My aunt also looked worried and said, "Your uncle and I have worked hard in this small county for so many years to build up this little foundation we have now."
Going to Beijing would mean starting everything from scratch. I'm really afraid I'll end up with nothing, not only failing to develop my business but also ruining my current life.
The relatives chimed in with their own words, their concerns and worries instantly sombering the previously enthusiastic atmosphere filled with anticipation for the future.
