Phi-Fic Chapter 58 Temporary Mission: Making Up for Regrets
Chapter 58 Temporary Mission: Making Up for Regrets
Yuan Bao has already completed all the junior high school courses through self-study, and today he is going to complete the practice questions for each subject as planned.
When I opened the task center during a relaxing moment, I found that the task center had changed again. The main task was to accept and complete it. The current main task is: to continue to maintain the first place in the grade in the monthly exams after the start of the second semester of the third year of junior high school.
In addition, there are side quests, temporary quests, and holiday quests available for selection.
Yuan Bao's gaze was drawn to the temporary tasks. These three tasks were like a key, unlocking the softest corner of her heart.
These three tasks were all regrets she had from her childhood.
Temporary Task 1: Treat your grandparents' health. You will receive 800 points upon completion.
Temporary Task 2: Treat your aunt's health. You will receive 300 points upon completion.
Temporary Task 3: Treat your uncle's health. You will receive 300 points upon completion.
Yuan Bao thought of his maternal grandparents, a kind old couple who were especially good to Yuan Bao's family.
Yuan Bao remembers that when he was a child, his family would go to his grandmother's house for dinner every weekend. His grandmother's house was located at the foot of the mountain near the Martyrs' Memorial Park.
Back then, Yuan Bao and his older brother would lead their younger cousins in playing wildly in the yard, chasing chickens and ducks, their laughter echoing through the mountains.
What a wonderful time that was, when several cousins forged an unbreakable revolutionary friendship from childhood.
Unfortunately, my grandfather later suffered a stroke. Although he could go to the toilet by himself, his left side was a little numb and stiff. My uncle was worried about the two elderly people, so he took them over to take care of them without hesitation. Now my grandparents live at my uncle's house.
Since the uncle's house was relatively far away and not very big, the children's gathering time on weekends was changed to major holidays.
The uncle's care for Yuan Bao and Bao Guo was genuine, but since Yuan Bao and his older brother had been studying hard and taking the exam to skip grades, they hadn't visited their uncle's house yet.
My aunt was born during the most difficult years. She suffered from malnutrition and was thin and weak from a young age. She also suffered from frostbite and was unable to have children after marriage. Baoguo and Yuanbao were both raised by my aunt.
These relatives who were very important to Yuan Bao all passed away one after another due to illness after Yuan Bao left home to study and work, leaving a great regret in Yuan Bao's heart.
And this game really is a system for achieving a perfect life, actually helping her make up for these regrets.
Yuan Bao decided to take immediate action. Although the spiritual spring water in her space could improve her health, it was slow-acting and required long-term consumption, making it unsuitable for this mission. She chose the Cell Recovery Pill instead.
Through his understanding over this period of time, Yuan Bao learned that the Cell Recovery Pills are effective in the game world. Generally, one or two pills are enough to restore all the cells inside the human body to a healthy state.
Grandparents will each receive 2 pills, and aunt and uncle will each receive 1 pill.
After making the decision, Yuan Bao purchased 6 Cell Recovery Pills from the game's in-game store.
During lunch, Yuan Bao said to his mother, "Mom, I miss my grandparents. How about we all go to my uncle's house for dinner tonight? I'll buy the groceries early this afternoon and cook for them so they can try my cooking. Let's invite my aunt and my other aunt too!"
Aunt Yuan was quite happy. Thinking that it had been a long time since she had visited, she agreed, "Okay, then I'll call them this afternoon when I get to work and ask if you have enough money to buy groceries."
"That's enough. I still have plenty. My brother and I will go over there this afternoon. You two can go over after you get off work."
After lunch, Yuan Bao and his elder brother Bao Guo went to the market and carefully selected various fresh vegetables, meats and fruits.
She thought about cooking a big meal for her grandparents, aunt, and uncle so they would enjoy it.
On his way to his uncle's house, Yuan Bao carried the six cell recovery pills in his arms, his heart filled with anticipation.
She imagined the scene of seeing her relatives in a while, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
When they arrived at her uncle's house, her grandmother saw Yuan Bao and happily took her hand, her eyes crinkling into slits with laughter: "Bao, what brings you here? Let Grandma see if you've grown taller again."
Yuan Bao smiled and said to her grandmother, "Grandma, I missed you, so I came. Please sit down and don't lift a finger today. I'm going to cook you a delicious meal. Please eat more later, Grandpa."
Upon hearing this, Grandma murmured, "Good, good, good, my granddaughter is making me something delicious! My darling, you are such a thoughtful and good child."
My cousin was very happy to see Yuan Bao and Bao Guo. He started squeezing around Grandma and Yuan Bao, chattering away, but he couldn't get a word in edgewise. He then turned around and ran off to play with his older brother, Bao Guo.
Yuan Bao chatted with his grandmother for a while, then went to see his grandfather.
Grandpa was very happy to see Yuan Bao arrive. He praised her for being sensible and kept promising to eat more later.
After helping Yuan Bao take the vegetables to the kitchen, the eldest brother Bao Guo went to find his favorite martial arts novel, pulled his cousin to sit next to his grandfather, and told them martial arts stories.
Yuan Bao went to the kitchen, quickly swapped out the ingredients and fruits in the space, and began to cook.
Of course, to save time, she took out the dishes that Xiaobai had prepared in advance and placed them on the dining table, and instantly a rich aroma filled the air.
It was a unique aroma, a blend of rich meaty fragrance and fresh vegetable scent, that drifted gently through the air.
She quickly stir-fried the dishes she had prepared on the stove, oil splattering in the pan, and a fragrant aroma wafted out as the dishes were turned.
These aromas intertwine and continuously fill the nasal cavity, making one unable to resist taking a deep breath.
The freshly cooked dishes, steaming hot, exude an enticing aroma, as if beckoning everyone to come and taste them.
The aroma from the kitchen wafted throughout the house with the heat, filling it with a warm and cozy atmosphere.
Finally, seeing that it was almost time, I started to brew the medicinal sweet soup.
Before leaving that evening, Yuan Bao planned to follow suit and put a few cell recovery pills in sugar water. After all, the only thing he could openly show his parents now was the vision recovery pills.
At this time, my aunt arrived earlier after getting off work.
When Auntie saw Yuan Bao, she immediately opened her arms and hugged her tightly, her eyes full of love: "Bao Bao, it's been so long since I've seen you, Auntie has missed you so much."
Yuan Bao smiled and hugged her aunt back: "Auntie, I missed you too."
Auntie said with emotion, "Baby, you're becoming more and more sensible. I remember when you were little, I held you in my arms. You were so small then. Time really flies."
Yuan Bao felt a surge of warmth in her heart as she listened to her aunt's words. She recalled the ways her aunt had taken care of her when she was little, and a tear welled up in her eyes.
Auntie hurriedly asked if there was anything else to do, and Yuan Bao pointed to the dishes that had been prepared on the table, asking Auntie to see if it was enough.
As soon as my aunt entered the door, she smelled the delicious aroma filling the room. Upon seeing the table full of dishes, she praised Yuan Bao, saying, "There are definitely enough dishes. I'll go get the bowls and chopsticks." Then she went into the kitchen to prepare the bowls and chopsticks herself.
Just then, my aunt arrived with my round, apple-like cousin. My cousin rushed over and said, "Cousin, cousin, I heard that you and my cousin did really well on your exams this time."
Auntie chimed in, "Yes, I heard from your mom on the phone that you two will be in the same third year of junior high when school starts again? That's amazing. On the way here, I was telling your cousin to learn from you two."
“Sure, how about we come back here tomorrow and study with our younger cousins?” Although Yuan Bao was also studying with her younger cousins, her first thought was that she needed to give her grandparents a cell recovery pill tomorrow.
When the uncle and aunt returned home, they overheard this and immediately replied, "Great! Although my cousin is still young, it's important to cultivate a love of learning from a young age."
Before he could finish speaking, Mr. and Mrs. Yuan arrived. Mr. Yuan then said, "Yes, this is fine."
The family gathered together in a lively atmosphere, with the adults sitting around the dining table and the children eating their meals around the coffee table.
Grandma was the first to pick up her chopsticks, took a bite of food, and her eyes lit up immediately. She exclaimed, "Oh my, baby, this food is so delicious! I've been craving it since this afternoon, and it's been so long since I've had such a satisfying meal." As she spoke, she took another big bite, chewing and nodding repeatedly.
Auntie also picked up a piece with her chopsticks, tasted it, and her eyes narrowed into slits with laughter: "Honey, this dish is really good, the saltiness is just right, and it tastes delicious. You're such a good child, how come you can cook?"
My aunt and uncle picked up their bowls, ate a few mouthfuls of vegetables, and then a few mouthfuls of rice. My uncle gave them a thumbs up and said, "Yuan Bao, your cooking skills are amazing! Much better than mine."
My aunt smiled and said, "This dish is really well-cooked, even better than what you get at restaurants. Honey, who did you learn to cook this from?"
The aunt smiled and said, "Bao has been smart since he was little, and he learns everything quickly. He must have put his heart into making this dish so well."
"It's all because of my grandma, aunt and my mom. I always see you cooking and the food looks so delicious. I'm so envious and I want to grow up to be like you. So I secretly learn from you. I happened to see a cookbook and I've been cooking at home a lot lately."
After explaining, Yuan Bao then introduced her dessert to everyone: "After you finish eating, there will be medicinal dessert later."
Once again, Aunt Yuan chimed in with helpful words: "Yes, yes, the medicinal soup that Yuan Baoxue made is especially good. After drinking it, you sleep very well at night. Remember to have a bowl for everyone later."
Everyone chimed in, praising Yuan Bao's cooking. Yuan Bao felt very pleased with himself.
After everyone finished eating, Yuan Bao and his older brother played with their younger cousins in the yard. Watching his younger cousins laughing and playing, Yuan Bao was filled with emotion.
After playing for a while, Yuan Bao remembered what she was doing and went to the kitchen to personally serve everyone sweet soup. After putting the cell recovery pills in, she served them to her maternal grandparents, aunt, and uncle.
After doing all this, Yuan Bao finally felt half relieved. Then, she made an appointment to come back the next day, said goodbye to her maternal grandparents and uncle and aunt, and went home with her parents.
