Chapter 248 Grandma's Illness Will Heal
Qingqing quickly brought in the snacks, which were placed on a large rectangular wooden tray, exactly five plates, no more, no less.
Rong Bing sniffed and said, "Baoya, if you're full, forget it. Don't overeat."
Baoya rubbed her round belly and smiled at Rong Bing: "It's okay, Grandpa, I have a big appetite."
Rong Bing wanted to persuade her again, but Rong He, who had already figured out Bao Ya's appetite, tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Grandpa, don't worry. Bao Ya might have eaten too much. These snacks won't fill her up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Bing glared at him: "She's only four or five years old. How much can she eat? Can she eat as much as your grandfather?!"
"She eats more than you." Rong He was scolded by him, curled his lips and muttered softly.
Rong Bing then tapped him on the forehead with his finger: "You're talking nonsense!"
A moment later, Rong Bing's eyes widened as he watched the grandfather and grandson finish five plates of dim sum.
Baoya and Madam Rong each held a plate of snacks. Their cheeks were bulging from eating, and they didn't even bother to wipe the snack crumbs from their mouths.
Old Madam Rong had a rare good appetite. She finished a whole plate of sesame cakes and drank a large bowl of hot tea. Her face was flushed and her wrinkles disappeared from her face due to her smile.
"They are really like old children and young children." Rong Bing looked at the two of them and sighed.
He began to feel reluctant to leave Baoya again. If only Baoya could stay, maybe Jingyao's illness would gradually get better.
After the two of them finished their snacks, Mrs. Rong was old and easily tired. She felt sleepy after burping a few times and yelled for Baoya to go to bed with her.
Baoya readily agreed, slipped down from the chair, took Madam Rong's hand, and the two of them went to Madam Rong's bedroom.
As the two of them walked out, Baoya took the opportunity to turn around and winked at Ronghe.
Rong He and Rong Bing sat in the main hall for a while, but they couldn't stay any longer. They bowed to Rong Bing and turned to run out.
"Where are you going, kid?" Rong Bing called him.
Rong He said, "Grandpa, Baoya asked me to wait for grandma at the door of her bedroom!"
"Nonsense, when did she tell you? How come grandpa doesn't know?" Rong Bing frowned.
Rong He: "She told me with her eyes, this is the secret code between us kids!"
After saying that, he turned and ran away.
Rong Bing watched his background quickly disappear at the door and shook his head helplessly. Maybe he was too old and really didn't understand these things.
However, He'er became much more cheerful than before during his trip to Ping'an Town. Not only did he make friends, but his health also improved. He was quite happy.
While Rong Bing was sighing, Rong He ran to the outside of Old Madam Rong's bedroom and waited for a long time before Bao Ya came out quietly.
"You are so slow." Rong He said.
Baoya blushed, scratched her head and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Rong, grandma's bed is so comfortable that I accidentally fell asleep."
Rong He: ...
"It's okay, what do you want to tell me?" he asked.
Baoya walked down the stairs step by step with her short and fat legs: "Nothing, I just wanted to ask about grandma."
"Grandma," Rong He paused, "Grandma has been ill for many years."
"Grandpa prescribed many prescriptions and tried many kinds of medicine, but grandma's condition kept fluctuating, sometimes lucid and sometimes confused."
"Grandpa said she had a heart disease, and heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine, but grandma's heart medicine is gone, so the disease can't be cured."
When Rong He said these words, he was in a very low mood, and Bao Ya felt a little sad.
She thought for a moment and patted Rong He on the shoulder: "Brother Rong, don't worry, grandma's illness will get better."
"Yeah, it will definitely be fine." Rong He thought Bao Ya was comforting him and nodded, "Let's go, I'll take you to your room."
In fact, it is very close. Rong Bing asked Baoya to live in the east wing of Baicaoxuan, which is in the same courtyard.
The east wing had been cleaned up, and one of the maids who had previously followed Madam Rong brought Baoya into the house.
The little maidservant was wearing a red dress and said with a smile, "Young lady, my name is Honghong, and I serve Old Madam Rong."
"Old Master Rong and Old Madam Rong don't like too many people, so we only have two maids, Qingqing and I, in Baicaoxuan. I'll be guarding outside. Just let me know if you need anything."
"Well, Sister Honghong, you go and get busy." Baoya said.
Rong He stayed with her in the east wing for a while and was about to go back.
"My parents and I live in the West Garden," Rong He said, "My uncle and aunt live in the East Garden. However, they are away on business all year round and rarely come back. Now the East Garden is empty, with only a few maids and servants going there regularly to clean it."
"If you're bored, come and play with me in Xiyuan and let Honghong take you there."
"Okay." Baoya responded obediently, "Goodbye, Brother Rong."
Ever since I arrived, I have been accompanying Old Madam Rong, and now I finally have time to rest for a while.
Her small bag had been delivered in advance and was placed on the couch.
The room was clean and cozy, with light pink bed curtains, a screen painted with clusters of plum blossoms, and wintersweets on the table still with water droplets on them, smelling pleasant.
Baoya took a deep breath of the light fragrance in the air, kicked off her little shoes and rolled onto the couch.
I was so tired from the long journey that I slept until the next day.
Baoya opened her eyes and looked at the sachet hanging on the top of the tent. It took her a long time to realize that she was now in the Rong family in Beijing, not in her own small room in Feishui Village.
“Hmm…”
She rubbed her eyes and sat up on the couch, her stomach growling.
The room was very quiet, as if she was the only one left in the huge Rong family.
"Honghong...Sister Honghong!" she called out tentatively.
A moment later, light footsteps were heard, and a red figure quickly appeared in front of her.
"Young lady, wake up. I'll go get some water for washing your face. The young master is already waiting for you in the main hall."
"Brother Rong, are you waiting for me? Where are grandpa and grandma?" Baoya scratched her messy hair, still a little confused.
Honghong smiled and said, "The old man went to the Medicine Fairy Pavilion, and the old lady just took the medicine and went to bed. The young master is here to take the young lady out to play."
Go out and play?!
Baoya's eyes lit up.
The capital city is big and bustling, and there are so many delicious things she has never seen or tasted!
After cleaning up, Baoya went to the main hall to find Ronghe.
Rong He changed into a lotus-colored shirt with a curved collar and narrow sleeves today, tied a leather belt around his waist, and combed his hair neatly and smoothly. He looked particularly energetic.
As soon as he saw Baoya, he nodded with satisfaction: "Your outfit is not bad either."
Baoya also changed her clothes, wearing a Hunan-colored short jacket and pants, with a belt around her waist and a small, exquisitely embroidered sachet hanging from it.
She looked at Rong He's outfit, then looked down at the clothes Honghong had changed for her.
Asked: "Brother Rong, where are we going today?"
"Let's go to my family's martial arts gym." Rong He said.
