Chapter 307: Childhood Sweethearts, Lifelong Companions
Yuan Bao tried hard to recall everything he knew about his grandfather’s life, and it seemed that there really wasn’t much to connect him with success in the eyes of most people.
However, his grandfather single-handedly raised five sons and found wives for four of them, which was already more impressive than many fathers of that era.
Even more remarkable, all five sons were not underdeveloped due to malnutrition. Especially the second uncle Yuan Wangdi and third uncle Yuan Laidi, who were burly, indicating just how much they could eat as children.
From this perspective, his grandfather’s life has indeed been quite challenging.
Listening to his grandmother’s mutterings, Yuan Bao soon started yawning and fell into a deep sleep.
Upon seeing her beloved grandson asleep, Mrs. Zeng also stopped her muttering.
Then, without Yuan Bao knowing, Mrs. Zeng left Yuan Bao’s room and returned to her room with Old Yuan.
Old Yuan was prepared to spend the night alone and was surprised that his wife had returned.
However, after years of marriage, Old Yuan didn’t insist on saving face at the expense of suffering, and deeply reflected on his previous words.
Hmm, even though he didn’t quite understand what he did wrong.
The attitude was right, and after some muttering with Yuan Bao, Mrs. Zeng’s little resentment dissipated almost entirely, accompanied by Old Yuan’s sincere apologies, the matter was resolved.
When Yuan Bao woke up, he found his grandparents had reconciled and were chatting and laughing.
Indeed, his feeling was correct. The small disputes between grandparents didn’t require external interference.
The wisdom of the ancients never deceives us, young couples old companions!
Seeing this, Yuan Bao couldn’t help but feel a little pleased.
"Grandma, you and Grandpa made up!"
After dinner, Yuan Bao snuggled up to his grandmother, acting spoiled, preparing for a little gossip session.
"..."
Upon hearing her beloved granddaughter’s question, Mrs. Zeng instantly didn’t know how to respond.
Yesterday, while muttering with Yuan Bao, she thought Yuan Bao was a little child and would soon forget what she had said. Unexpectedly, overnight, Yuan Bao still remembered the quarrel with the old man.
"Grandma, why aren’t you saying anything?"
Yuan Bao noticed his grandmother’s unusual behavior but didn’t stop gossiping.
Mrs. Zeng cleared her throat and said, "Jiaojiao, aren’t you going to play with your sister Qiqi today?"
Unable to answer her beloved granddaughter’s question, Mrs. Zeng directly changed the subject.
Upon seeing her grandmother’s response, Yuan Bao instantly understood that she was too shy to speak.
Alright, as a very sensible little child, I’ll stop gossiping.
And about going to play with her god-sister?
It seemed like it had been a while since she visited the Wei Family.
Wondering if she’ll run into the annoying Sheng Xueyi today.
After some consideration, looking at the scorching sun outside, Yuan Bao finally decided to stay home today.
Going out in such hot weather would just be self-inflicted torture!
Yuan Bao hadn’t planned to go out, but soon after, Nanny Xue came by, saying that Mrs. Shen had brought Wei Qiqi along.
Upon hearing that her godmother and god-sister had arrived, little Yuan Bao ran as fast as she could.
Once Yuan Bao dashed outside, Mrs. Zeng breathed a long sigh of relief.
She was really afraid Yuan Bao would continue asking.
Yuan Bao ran out of the room and quickly encountered Wei Qiqi in the courtyard, who was also running, clearly eager to see Yuan Bao, while Mrs. Shen was a dozen steps behind.
