I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 444. Well Prepared!

Wu Lingyu felt embarrassed as soon as she finished speaking. What was this? Did she support Fan Ge having five wives?
After opening her heart, Xiaoyu began to slowly put herself in Xu Qingfan's shoes and think about things from his perspective. Just like in many places where male chauvinism is severe, women are often burdened by feudal shackles even more than men.

Of course, Wu Lingyu is not at that level yet, and probably never will be in the future.

Xiaoyu doesn't object to Xu Qingfan's philandering, but if she were asked to come up with ideas to win over Wan Ning and the others, Wu Lingyu would definitely be angry and aggrieved.

[I just want everyone to be like this in the future, that's all!]
"Xiaoyu, hand me the rice wine."

"Xiaoyu?"

"Oh, okay!" Wu Lingyu snapped out of her daze and quickly handed the bottle of Jiujiang Shuangzheng to Xu Qingfan.

When a suitable amount of liquor is poured in, the already overflowing oil mist mixes with the alcohol, and when ignited, a column of fire rises half a meter high.

Wu Lingyu added the scallion segments and other ingredients, tossed them briefly to release their flavor, and then immediately transferred the stir-fried beef to a hot clay pot next to it.

Xu Qingfan stirred it a few times with his chopsticks; no water or oil came out, indicating it was a good clay pot dish.

"Alright, Xiaoyu, go check how they've cleaned up. We'll be eating soon." After washing the pot, it was time for the last dish. He turned to Xiaoyu and said.

"Mmm!" Wu Lingyu looked into his eyes and nodded obediently after half a second.

After leaving the kitchen, the strong air conditioning in the living room immediately made her feel refreshed. It was already dark outside the window, and the living room lights, which hadn't been used for a long time, were dim and yellowish.

Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi, barefoot on the cloth, slid several meters away as they ran, drying the floor they had just mopped.

"We can eat soon. Let the floor dry naturally," Wu Lingyu said with a smile after watching the two play for a while.

"Is the rice cooked? Is the rice cooked?"

“I’m starving!”

Hearing the sound, Xiao Ruanwen peeked out of the room, her eyes shining.

"Let's tidy up and eat." Xia Xiaoxiao clapped her hands and walked out. Looking at the spotless living room, she felt inexplicably comfortable.

"I'll go get the chopsticks!" Lin Wanning put on her slippers and ran to the kitchen impatiently.

"Wan Ning, wait for me, I'm coming too!" Xiao Ruanwen took a deep sniff of the fragrance in the air and followed after him.

Wu Lingyu stood aside to make room for the two of them to go into the kitchen. What's wrong with Xiaoyu hoping that this cozy little home can stay like this forever?
[I just want everyone to be well!]
[forever!]
Without the adults' dinner, all six of them ate comfortably, and there was no question of table manners.

Use your hands if you can, and stuff as much food as you can into your mouth.

If the boys in school saw the goddesses like this, with their chubby cheeks, oily faces and hands, they would probably feel like their "white moonlight filter" had shattered.

Xu Qingfan really enjoyed watching them eat like this; it's probably a common trait among cooks—it gives them a great sense of accomplishment.

"This crab is peeled, who wants to eat it?" he asked, holding up a crab shell full of roe and meat.

The five of them were silent for a few seconds. After exchanging glances, Xu Qingfan gave the gift directly to Wu Lingyu.

"Thank you, Brother Fan."

Lin Wanning watched as Xiaoyu shoveled a large spoonful of crab roe into her mouth, and the chicken leg in his hand suddenly didn't taste as good as before.

She raised her hand and lined up, saying, "Brother Qingfan, I'm next!"

"I want the next one!" Xiao Ruanwen was the second to raise her hand, almost hitting Xu Qingfan.

"It's not like we're answering questions in class, so put your hands down." He gave the two of them a reproachful look and continued to leisurely peel crabs.

"Are we spending the night here?" Xia Xiaoxiao swallowed the food in her mouth and wiped her mouth clean with a tissue.

The five of them immediately looked at Xu Qingfan, as it was clear that he was the one who had to make the decision.

"No one has lived upstairs for a long time, let's forget about it," Xu Qingfan said after stopping his crab-disassembling work and thinking for a moment.

The five were immediately dejected upon hearing this, but Xu Qingfan quickly added, "However, if you don't want to go home for the night, you can stay at my place. I have plenty of rooms!"

Wu Lingyu and Xia Xiaoxiao were already sleeping at Xu Qingfan's house that night, so they didn't feel anything.

But Lin Wanning, Zhang Yiyi, and Xiao Ruanwen were excited. For no other reason than that spending the night at their classmate's house (Fan Ge's house) would be a lot of fun!
"Okay, okay, let's stay at Brother Qingfan's house!"

"I'm sure I'll be fine!"

"Can I stay at my brother's house?"

Xu Qingfan continued with his work: "Then it's a happy decision. I'll call home after dinner."

"whee."

"it is good!"

The three readily agreed and were already looking forward to it.

"Here you go, Wanning." Xu Qingfan handed the disassembled hairy crab to Lin Wanning and continued disassembling the next one.

"Thank you, Brother Qingfan!"

Xu Qingfan smiled at her, wondering how the two elders would react if the five of them came to stay overnight.
Xu Aiguo is obsessed with fishing, so we can ignore him for now. But Yao Jinping and Xu Qingfan think their mother is probably secretly pleased.

There was a reason behind the initial decision to reserve a separate room for Xia Xiaoxiao and Wu Lingyu at home.

If Lin Wanning, Zhang Yiyi, and Xiao Ruanwen weren't so infrequent visitors, he felt Yao Jinping might have reserved five rooms.

[Sure enough, my philandering habit is definitely inherited from my mom!]
Xu Qingfan thought that when the time was right, he would tell Yao Jinping about his crazy actions. On the surface, he would definitely break her legs, but his mother might secretly be happy about it.

"Ruanwen, this is for you." He handed the peeled crab to Xiao Ruanwen.

"Hey~ Thank you, Brother Fan!" Xiao Ruanwen happily accepted the gift and didn't forget to put a piece of fish on Xu Qingfan's plate.

"I'll peel it myself, you should eat!" Xia Xiaoxiao said unhappily when she saw Xu Qingfan still wanting to peel the crab.

Xu Qingfan looked at Zhang Yiyi, who shook her head. Xia Xiaoxiao had already said so, so Yiyi, who cared most about her brother, naturally couldn't be outdone!

"Brother, I'll peel it for you!" Zhang Yiyi snatched the hairy crab from Xu Qingfan's hand and smiled.

"I'll give mine to Brother Qingfan!" Lin Wanning had just left one spoonful of crab roe and fed it directly to Xu Qingfan.

Xia Xiaoxiao almost dropped her chopsticks: 6
After dinner, the five of them divided up the cleaning tasks, just like they did in junior high school.

With Xiaobai not around, Xu Qingfan, who doesn't need to feed the dog, can sit down and watch TV for a while.

"Brother Qingfan, we've finished washing the dishes. Shall we go home now?" Brother Qingfan's home is Wanning's home, so Lin Wanning can call out to him without any awkwardness.

“The dishwasher has already washed the dishes, so we can take a walk after dinner now.” Xu Qingfan turned off the TV.

"Live to nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine!" Lin Wanning replied with a grin.

“It’s clearly 99,999!” Xiao Ruanwen quickly came out of the kitchen and put her arm around Lin Wanning’s shoulder from behind.

Seeing that everyone was present, Xu Qingfan got up from the sofa and said, "Let's set off then. Check the doors, windows, water, electricity, and gas."

"The gas is turned off!" Wu Lingyu said after checking.

“All the windows are locked!” Xiao Ruanwen said confidently.

Xu Qingfan nodded in satisfaction and was about to turn off the main switch when Zhang Yiyi grabbed his hand and reminded him, "Brother, you can't turn off the water and electricity, the dishwasher is still in use!"

"Alright then, I'll come back to close it tomorrow." Xu Qingfan had no choice but to withdraw his hand after hearing this.

After locking the door, the six of them glanced back at the courtyard in unison before turning and leaving.

An old house holds the dreams of their youth. "Hey~ It's okay if Qingfan's family is there, Mom said it's fine!"

"Okay, okay~ I got it, yes, goodbye Daddy, mwah~ see you tomorrow!"

Lin Wanning and Ruan Wen called home on the way, but Lin Wanning's call lasted the longest.

"Hehe~ Okay!"

"I can stay at Qingfan's house tonight!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she said happily after hanging up the phone.

Even through the phone, Xu Qingfan could feel Old Deng's heartbreak. He could only silently sympathize with Uncle Lin for three seconds. After all, Huang Mao was him!

"Let's go, we'll talk to my parents when we get back, no need to waste the phone bill." Xu Qingfan took Lin Wanning's wrist, and casually grabbed Xiao Ruanwen, who was closest to him, with his right hand.

"Charge!" Lin Wanning was even more excited than him, and the next second he rushed out, pulling the two of them ahead.

Xia Xiaoxiao and Zhang Yiyi, who were still standing there, exchanged a glance. Zhang Yiyi shrugged and gave her a helpless smile.

Xia Xiaoxiao felt a lump in her throat; she felt like she had been ambushed by Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi.

[Hmph~ Home is my home turf!]
Despite her displeasure, she still took Yi Yi's hand and chased after them together.

After all, they are not only rivals in love, but also very good friends!

"what?"

"Why is the living room light on?"

After opening the door, Xu Qingfan peeked inside and immediately saw Yao Jinping and Lin Jing watching TV on the sofa.

"Waaah~ Mom, Auntie, why didn't you go out to find something to do?"

Xu Qingfan made room, and from Yao Jinping's perspective, five heads quickly filed in.

"Wow~ Everyone's here! Come in and sit down. Have you eaten? Auntie will get you some delicious food!" Yao Jinping completely ignored Xu Qingfan's presence and got up to come over with a look of surprise.

Lin Jing gave Xu Qingfan a strange look, then got up and followed behind him.

"Hello Auntie!"

Hello, Aunt Lin!

Zhang Yiyi and Lin Wanning each put their arms around Yao Jinping's arms, while Xiao Ruanwen blinked and also enthusiastically took Lin Jing's arm.

“They’re spending the night at home,” Xu Qingfan said. Yao Jinping either didn’t hear him or was too busy to respond.

"Auntie, we'd like to sleep here tonight."

"Is it okay, Auntie?"

When Lin Wanning and Zhang Yi asked, Yao Jinping immediately replied, "Of course! There are three empty rooms on the second floor. I'll go get you new blankets later. From now on, these will be your own private rooms!"

"Hehe~ Thank you, Auntie!"

"Thank you, aunt!"

"Auntie is so kind!"

Xu Qingfan rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. It turned out that his mother really had left the three empty rooms for the three of them.

Xu Qingfan married five wives; Yao Jinping may be the only winner?

"Mom, where is my dad?"

"mom!"

"What are you yelling about? Who knows where you went fishing!" Yao Jinping glared at him. "You know where the new quilts are, right? If you have nothing better to do, why don't you get three sets of quilts for the maids!"

Xu Qingfan:
Thinking that it wouldn't be bad for Yao Jinping to cultivate a better relationship with them, since her mother might have to step in to save the day if things went wrong later, Xu Qingfan didn't object.

"Auntie, your skin is so beautiful, no wonder Brother Fan is so fair-skinned!"

"Auntie, your hands clearly show that you do housework often. You work so hard, Auntie!"

Seeing his mother completely charmed by their flattery, Xu Qingfan shook his head with amusement and silently turned to go upstairs.

[If my mom ever asks me why I'm so fickle, I can confidently say it's because you chose me, my idol!]
Getting into bed is a particularly mentally taxing thing, but when he told himself that this blanket might (scratch that) definitely be used by him in the future, Xu Qingfan was instantly full of motivation.

"Ruan Wen should like this yellow bedding set."

"I think I'll choose this white one."

"Wan Ning probably won't be picky and will choose the room opposite mine."

Xu Qingfan had a thorough understanding of the three people's psychology. After placing the quilts in their respective rooms, he quickly finished packing them up.

About twenty minutes later, Lin Wanning, Zhang Yiyi, and Xiao Ruanwen excitedly ran up to choose their private rooms.

"I like this fire-breathing dragon. Brother Qingfan, can I choose this room?" Sure enough, Lin Wanning went straight into the room opposite Xu Qingfan's bedroom and pointed to the big bed without looking around much.

"Ning, you want this room tonight? Yi Yi and I will go check out the one next door!" Xiao Ruanwen didn't argue with her and pulled Yi Yi away.

"This will be Wan Ning's room from now on~" Lin Wan Ning took off her shoes, jumped onto the bed, and happily rolled around on it a few times.

"I knew you liked Charmander, so I got it for you specially," Xu Qingfan said with a smile.

"Hehe~ Thank you, Brother Qingfan!" Lin Wanning showed his two cute tiger teeth.

Xu Qingfan pulled her out of bed and they left together. As expected, Xiao Ruanwen and Zhang Yiyi chose the two rooms he had anticipated.

The original 170-square-meter area on the second floor was divided into seven rooms. Apart from the master bedroom where Xu Aiguo and Yao Jinping slept, which was on the far east side, the other six rooms were arranged side by side to ensure that each room did not disturb the other in a physical sense.

The chief designer of the house is Ms. Yao Jinping!

Xu Qingfan would never believe that his mother had absolutely no opinion about it.

Despite Yao Jinping's constant talk of wanting a daughter, and despite the fact that he always treated Xiaoyu and Xiaoxiao better than he did.

But based on this alone, Xu Qingfan has to say without any regrets: "I love you, Mom!"

Compared to the meager maternal love others receive, he is much more satisfied with Yao Jinping's unique kind of love!

Currently, Xiaoyu and Yiyi are sharing a room, the dog-man and Lin Wanning are sharing a room, and Xia Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ruanwen are sharing a room.

[Wanning and Yiyi haven't played with me in a long time, I wonder if they'll come tonight.]
[If Xiaoxiao and Xiaoyu came too.]
Standing at the door of his room, the scoundrel gasped.

So Xu Qingfan was already looking forward to seeing what might happen that night.

Five girls emerged from the room one after another.

"What are you standing here for?" Xia Xiaoxiao pushed him in annoyance.

"Brother Fan, what should we play now?"

How about playing "Three Kingdoms Kill"?

"Not good!" the five people said in unison.
