I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 239. Bizarre Relatives
Xiao Jianbiao didn't actually intend to do anything to Xu Qingfan. The main reason was that his daughter often mentioned him, and he was often away from her, so he was worried that she might make some bad male friends.

However, judging from the conversation just now, Xiao's father is quite satisfied with this young man. He is not only handsome and sunny, but also humble and gentle. Most importantly, he has such good grades. He is a very good young man.

[He has about 80% of my youthful charm.]
As for the arm-wrestling match, that was purely an accident.

Xu Qingfan discovered that since entering puberty, he felt like he had inexhaustible strength, the kind of strength that allowed him to carry two bags of rice up eight flights of stairs without even breaking a sweat.

So he asked Xiao's father out of curiosity, since the military region is full of talented people, and Xiao Jianbiao has crossed more bridges than he has walked roads during his years of service, so there should be similar examples.

He told Xiao Jianbiao that he had become incredibly strong after puberty. At first, Xiao's father thought Xu Qingfan was just being too self-important. After all, every new recruit thinks they are the most important person in the world when they join the army, and he has seen too many of those over the years.

But seeing his insistence, Xiao's father suggested that we have a little competition.

Just kidding, he's been doing physical training all year round. He's 180cm tall and weighs 90.5kg, which is something a juvenile greyhound like him can't compare to.
Then Xiao Jianbiao met his tragic end. This kid was really not bragging; he spanned at least four weight classes and was actually on par with him.

Xu Qingfan finally confirmed that although he didn't have the extraordinary strength of Xiang Yu, he was still considered to have superhuman strength.

Fortunately, he was a time traveler; otherwise, he would have been born with the divine body of a cow or horse.

[Is this a perk for time travelers?] Xu ​​Qingfan wondered.

Xiao Ruanwen's mother quickly returned carrying large and small bags of seafood and vegetables. Before the others could go over to help, Xiao Jianbiao ran up and took them into his own hands, complaining, "You didn't even call to let me help you carry all this."

"Not many, let's put the shrimp in water and raise them first." Zhao Yuemin patted her husband's chest lightly, indicating that the couple had a good relationship.

"Hello Auntie!"

Happy New Year, Auntie!

"You're all here! Auntie will go get you your red envelopes right away."

"Thank you, aunt!"

After Xiao Jianbiao went into the kitchen to help, the strange feeling of being watched finally disappeared, and Xu Qingfan relaxed on the sofa watching TV.

"Fan-ge, how did you manage to arm wrestle with my dad just now? And you even won! When did you become so strong, Fan-ge?" Xiao Ruanwen asked in a low voice after the six of them were alone in the living room.

“I told your dad that I felt stronger after puberty, and then your uncle asked to see how strong I was, so he started gesturing.” Xu Qingfan shrugged.

"Brother Qingfan is so amazing! Can you pick me up with one hand now, like in the movies?"

"Give it a try?" Xu Qingfan gestured for Lin Wanning to sit down.

"Okay."

"What are you trying? This is Ruan Wen's house." Xia Xiaoxiao glared and slapped away Xu Qingfan's outstretched hand.

Xu Qingfan looked at Lin Wanning and could only shrug and make a helpless expression.

The girl wrinkled her nose and made a very cute expression.

With more than an hour to go before lunchtime, Xiao Ruanwen, as the host, suggested, "How about we play UNO?"

"Okay!"

"I'll go get it!" Xiao Ruanwen was about to go back to the bedroom to get the cards when the doorbell in the living room suddenly rang, so she had to change her route and go open the door first.

"Aunt, Aunt, and my cousin?" she asked, opening the door with a puzzled look. "What brings you all here?"

"What are you saying, child? Does that mean you're not welcome just because you came uninvited?"

"No, Uncle and Aunt, come in quickly! Dad, Mom, Uncle's family is here!" Xiao Ruanwen shouted towards the kitchen after welcoming the three of them in.

Xu Qingfan and the other four girls looked at each other in bewilderment. It wasn't a pleasant experience to be suddenly visited by relatives while visiting someone else's home.

"Why did you come here without telling me beforehand?" Xiao Jianbiao took off his apron and came out of the kitchen.

"It's alright. We just heard that Er Ya's classmates were coming to visit, so we came over to help make it more festive. Come on, happy new year, little classmates!" The woman said as she took out red envelopes from her pocket and handed them out.

"Thank you, Auntie." They had no idea what was going on, so they politely accepted the red envelope.

"Dad, practicing calligraphy again?" The man winked at his wife and went to the balcony to watch Xiao Lijian practice calligraphy.

"Why doesn't Er Ya introduce your classmates to your aunt and cousin?" The woman chuckled, but her eyes remained fixed on Xu Qingfan.

He was speechless. Was he some kind of Tang Monk's flesh? Why were all the Xiao family members looking at him with such strange expressions?

Xiao Ruanwen introduced each of the people to her aunt one by one. When it was Xu Qingfan's turn, the woman interrupted, "This male classmate, your aunt knows him, his name is Xiaofan, right? Auntie is also your fan!" "Uh, um." Xu Qingfan nodded awkwardly. So this was his fan?

But the woman in front of me doesn't seem like someone who's a fan of celebrities.

Xia Xiaoxiao, Lin Wanning, and the other three were also blinking frantically, not understanding why this woman was being so enthusiastic towards Xu Qingfan.

The woman then said, "This is Er Ya's cousin. She also studies music and is a top student who studied abroad at American University in California."

Xu Qingfan glanced at his "cousin" standing behind him. She looked to be around twenty-four or twenty-five years old and had an explosive hairstyle that made him feel nauseous. If you ignored her hair, her appearance was only passable.

Xiao Ruanwen is beautiful because her mother is a great beauty, while this aunt is obviously just an ordinary woman you could find anywhere on the street.

"My cousin is really amazing." Even though he had never heard of this dubious university, it didn't stop Xu Qingfan from saying something complimentary.

"You think it's amazing too, right? Mengru is a very talented singer, it's such a pity."

Xu Qingfan clicked his tongue slightly. How did this trigger a combo?
"It's a pity that the songs you've written over the past few years haven't been popular. I heard you can write songs too. Do you think you could write an album for my cousin? If Mengru sings your songs, she'll definitely become a big star. You can also increase your value by writing songs for other people in the industry. Think about Vincent Fang, he earns hundreds of thousands for just one song. You can definitely do that too, young man!"

Xiao Ruanwen just wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear. How could her aunt say such shameless things?

Xu Qingfan also gasped in surprise; it seemed he had been tricked into coming here for free.

"Young lady, why aren't you saying anything? My daughter will definitely become a superstar if she sings your songs. You should write her a few more songs like 'No Sense of Safeguards' and 'What Kind of Bridge to Build.' It won't be a waste of your talent. This is a win-win situation for us." The woman glanced at Xiao Ruanwen with disdain as she said this, and her meaning was quite obvious.

Auntie, Xu Qingfan really couldn't stand that jealous look in your eyes. He said sarcastically, "Auntie, why are you asking me why I'm not talking? It's so obvious, can't you see?"

"You kid!"

"I write songs for Ruan Wen because I want to, but why don't you take a good look in the mirror? You want me to write songs for your daughter? I'll write a piece of shit for you!" Xu Qingfan was no pushover either. A longtime member of Sichuan online forums, he could be as foul-mouthed as he wanted.

"you you you!"

"I don't know if you got your head caught in a door when you went out. Do you really think I'm a three-year-old? Not long ago, a company came to me asking about the copyright for 'Little Apple.' They offered 100,000 yuan. I wonder how much you would pay me to write a song, Auntie?"

"If my daughter becomes famous, you can earn a hundred or a thousand times ten thousand yuan!"

The argument in the living room immediately attracted everyone's attention, and Xiao's parents opened the door and came out from the kitchen.

"What's going on? Why are they arguing?" Zhao Yuemin asked, puzzled.

"Auntie, this aunt Ruan Wen asked me to write songs for her daughter for free. She said that if her daughter becomes famous, my net worth will skyrocket, and I can earn hundreds of thousands or even thousands of dollars by writing songs in the future." The woman tried to smooth things over, but Xu Qingfan bluntly exposed her.

Xiao Jianbiao and Zhao Yuemin frowned upon hearing this, but they couldn't say anything out of consideration for their kinship.

"Mom, stop arguing with him. Let's go. My own songs will still be hits!" The older cousin said, pulling on her mother's arm, dissatisfied with Xu Qingfan's attitude.

"You'll regret it someday, then we'll leave!" The two turned and walked away, the uncle following behind.

"Bang!" The iron gate slammed shut the next second.

Seeing everyone in the room turn to look at him, Xu Qingfan shrugged and made a gesture of shrug. ┓(`)┏

"Is there something wrong with her?" He asked, turning his index finger around his head.

"Haha, don't worry about her, these two are obsessed with becoming stars." Xiao Jianbiao laughed heartily, thus summing up the matter.

"Hehe, I also made mistakes. My words were a bit too harsh. Mainly, that woman just looked at Ruan Wen with disdain, and I couldn't stand that!" Xu Qingfan laughed.

"Fan-ge, you're the best!" Xiao Ruanwen ran up and ruffled Xu Qingfan's hair. She actually wanted to kiss him on the cheek, but she didn't dare in front of her parents.

"Brother Qingfan is the best!"

The five girls took turns showering them with compliments, and the atmosphere quickly became lively again. As for the mother and daughter from before, they were treated like mosquitoes that had just flown by, and were simply swatted away.

Lunch was quickly prepared, and the ten of them filled the entire table with more than a dozen colorful and delicious dishes in front of them. The scale of the meal was no less than that of the New Year's Eve dinner.

After the recent little incident, Xiao Jianbiao's impression of Xu Qingfan improved considerably. He was truly reliable when needed, and his straightforward temperament suited him well. He just didn't know if his daughter had any romantic feelings for him.

"May the weather be favorable, the country prosperous, and the people at peace! Cheers!"

"cheers!"
