Chapter 262 The Large Family Outing

At midday, the sun grew even hotter, casting a dazzling golden veil over the courtyard.

Mr. and Mrs. Yuan finished their morning work and dragged their slightly tired bodies home.

As soon as they stepped into the yard, a clear and melodious bird song immediately caught their attention.

Looking up, one can see a brand-new birdcage hanging on a branch, where a brightly colored thrush is hopping and chirping happily, adding a touch of liveliness and energy to the quiet courtyard.

With a puzzled look, Mr. Yuan looked at his maternal grandfather, who was grinning like a child at the sight of the thrush, and then at Yuan Bao and his maternal grandmother standing beside his grandfather, who were also smiling broadly. He couldn't help but ask, "Where did this thrush come from?"

Grandma waved her hand with a smile and said, "This is all thanks to our Yuanbao. This morning, she dragged Grandpa to the flower and bird market by the river and specially bought this bird for him."

The old man had been talking about this for a long time, and now his wish has finally come true.

Upon hearing this, Yuan's parents turned their gazes to Yuan Bao, their eyes filled with satisfaction and admiration.

Yuan's mother stepped forward, gently patted Yuan Bao's head, and said tenderly, "Our Yuan Bao is becoming more and more considerate. He knows how to make his grandfather happy. He's wonderful!"

Yuan Bao scratched his head a little embarrassedly and replied with a smile, "If Grandpa is happy, then I'm happy too."

The family gathered around the birdcage, listening to the melodious chirping of the thrush. Laughter echoed in the courtyard, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Just then, the phone inside the house suddenly rang urgently.

Yuan Bao was basking in his family's praise when he heard the phone ring. He reflexively said, "I'll answer it." He then quickly walked into the living room, picked up the receiver, and politely said, "Hello, this is the Yuan family."

A steady, somewhat authoritative voice came from the other end of the phone: "Yuan Bao, this is your Uncle Chen from Beijing."

Yuan Bao quickly replied, "Hello, Boss Chen! I didn't expect it to be you calling. What instructions do you have?"

Boss Chen laughed heartily and said, "You little rascal, the Lunar New Year is just around the corner."

I was thinking of asking you if your family would like to come to Beijing for the Chinese New Year? Your Grandpa Chen has been talking about you a lot lately, and the New Year celebrations in Beijing are really lively. Why don't you come and join the fun?

Before Yuan Bao could answer, Boss Chen continued, "I also heard that you and your brother Baoguo both received guaranteed admission to Peking University. That's great news!"

I think you should also start preparing to move your whole family to Beijing.

Beijing offers many development opportunities, which will greatly benefit your future as young people.

Yuan Bao held the receiver, nodded slightly, and listened attentively to what Boss Chen had to say.

After a brief pause, Boss Chen continued, "And I can also help arrange jobs for your parents."

With their abilities, they'd definitely have a better platform for development in Beijing. What do you think?

Yuan Bao knew in his heart that Boss Chen's words were full of sincerity and care.

But she couldn't make such a big decision on her own. After thinking for a moment, Yuan Bao replied politely, "Uncle Chen, thank you so much for your concern and invitation."

However, this matter is too important, I need to discuss it with my family before I can get back to you, okay?

Mr. Chen laughed on the other end of the phone and said, "Of course, such a big matter definitely needs to be discussed by the whole family. Once you've discussed it with your family, let me know."

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Bao took a deep breath, gathered his thoughts, and slowly walked out of the living room.

At this moment, the family members were still gathered in the yard teasing the thrush. When they saw Yuan Bao come out, they all turned their eyes to her.

Yuan Baoqing cleared his throat and said, "It was Boss Chen from Beijing who just called."

Upon hearing the name "Big Boss Chen," the family members all showed a hint of surprise.

Yuan Bao then relayed: "Boss Chen said that since the New Year is approaching, he invited our family to Beijing to celebrate the New Year. He also knows that my brother and I have both been admitted to universities in Beijing, and suggested that we prepare to move to Beijing to settle down."

Furthermore, he said he could help arrange jobs for his parents.

Mr. and Mrs. Yuan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock and contemplation.

Mr. Yuan spoke first: "This is too sudden. Although Beijing is developing well, we have lived here for so many years, and our relatives and friends are all here. It's really hard to leave all of us."

Aunt Yuan nodded in agreement: "Yes, and a job transfer is no small matter. Whether one can adapt to a new place is unknown."

Grandpa looked at the family and said slowly, "I think this might be a good opportunity for the children."

Beijing's education and medical resources are much better than ours, which will definitely benefit Baowa and Baoguo's future development.

Yuan Bao sat to the side, quietly listening to his family's discussion.

She had actually been planning to go to Beijing for a long time, since she already owned ten courtyard houses there, so she didn't have to worry about where to stay.

Moreover, Beijing is the capital city, providing access to a wider range of information and resources.

But she also understands her parents' concerns. After all, leaving a familiar environment and starting over is no easy task.

At this point, his older brother Baoguo also expressed his opinion: "I think we can go to Beijing first to investigate and see what the living environment and job opportunities are like there."

If it's really good, it's not too late to make a decision.

Going to Beijing for the Chinese New Year would be a perfect opportunity.

Yuan Bao's eyes lit up. He thought his brother's suggestion was very reasonable and quickly said, "Yes, Mom and Dad, we can go and experience it first."

Moreover, with Boss Chen's help, we'll definitely be able to learn a lot about the real situation.

After listening to their children's words, Mr. and Mrs. Yuan exchanged glances.

Mr. Yuan agreed, saying, "Alright, let's discuss going to Beijing for the New Year first."

As for settling down and job transfer, we'll make plans after we get there and understand the specific situation.

The family members started discussing this topic, each contributing their own thoughts.

As Yuan Bao listened to his family discussing their plans to spend the Spring Festival in Beijing, his excitement grew even stronger, and a bold idea instantly took shape in his mind.

Her eyes sparkled, and she clapped her hands, eagerly saying, "Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, let's do something big!"

Since we're going to Beijing for the New Year anyway, why not invite my uncle's family, my aunt's family, and my other aunt's family along for a big family trip and a lively New Year celebration!

Upon hearing this, the whole family was taken aback at first, and then all eyes turned to Yuan Bao.

Yuan's mother was the first to come to her senses, her face showing some hesitation: "Baby, this is no small matter. It's fine if we go to our own home, but if we invite your uncle, aunt, and other relatives, will they be willing to go?"

Besides, we have to worry about all the arrangements for the journey, including accommodations after arriving in Beijing.

Yuan Bao waved his hand dismissively, saying confidently, "Mom, don't worry! Since I brought it up, I've naturally thought it all through..."
