I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 468. With Auntie's strength, what's there to worry about in a chaotic battlefield?
Licheng, old houses.

As soon as the alarm clock rang at midnight, Xiao Ruanwen was the first to give up.

"Aaaaaah~~ Exams can go to hell~ I want to go home~" She leaned back and slid smoothly from the chair to the floor.

The next second, Lin Wanning followed suit and sat on the floor. After looking at each other, they smiled at each other.

"Hee hee~"

Xia Xiaoxiao rested her chin on her hand, still intently thinking about the problem.

Wu Lingyu closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, her pen scribbling on the paper. If you looked closely, you could tell she was reciting Bai Juyi's "The Song of the Pipa".

Zhang Yiyi had an Alpenliebe candy in her mouth. After finishing the candy, all that was left in her mouth was a chewed-up wooden stick.

The girl had a habit of biting her pen when she was thinking. To correct this bad habit, Xu Qingfan had her chew gum or something else while doing her homework, and over time she developed a habit of eating candy.

Although eating sweets isn't a good habit, at least you don't have to worry about hygiene issues or perverts trying to steal your pen by eating your saliva.

"What are we going to eat later? Why aren't you all saying anything?" Xiao Ruanwen asked again when no one paid attention to her except Wan Ning.

After Xia Xiaoxiao ticked "C" on the last multiple-choice question, she reached out and grabbed Xiao Ruanwen by the back of her collar: "Be good, the floor is dirty."

Wu Lingyu also finished reciting the ancient poems around the same time. She got up first, went to the TV cabinet to turn off the alarm clock, and then came back with their five mobile phones.

"It's twelve o'clock. I wonder if Brother Fan is finished with his work yet." She opened her phone to see if Xu Qingfan had sent them a WeChat message.

"Has Brother Qingfan said anything in the group chat?" Lin Wanning quickly sat up straight again after seeing Wu Lingyu return with her phone.

"If Fan doesn't study properly for the midterms, he'll definitely be last!" Xiao Ruanwen saw Wan Ning get up, so she patted her bottom and got up too.

No one replied to Xiao Ruanwen's message because everyone was busy looking at their phones.

Xu Qingfan posted a handsome photo of himself giving a PowerPoint presentation in a conference room, with a group of well-dressed professionals in suits below.

The five girls all moved in unison, first downloading and saving the photo, then zooming in and zooming in again.

"Fan Ge got away with it again." Xiao Ruanwen double-clicked to restore the photo, then looked up to see everyone's expressions.

"Brother Qingfan looks so handsome in a suit!" Lin Wanning said as he typed in the input box.

"He looks better in a school uniform." Xia Xiaoxiao said casually, but that didn't stop him from taking a screenshot of the dog in a suit.

[My brother is handsome!]

[Fan Ge is amazing!]

Zhang Yiyi and Wu Lingyu simply typed messages in the group chat, with faint smiles on their lips.

Unfortunately, Xu Qingfan's phone was on Do Not Disturb mode, so he was unaware that everyone was tagging him like crazy in the group chat.

Since the person in question didn't show up, the five people chatted in the group for a while before gradually losing interest and putting down their phones to chat face-to-face.

"I wonder what Brother Fan is doing. I'm hungry~ What should we eat for lunch?" Xiao Ruanwen patted her flat stomach. Studying makes one hungry. She felt like she could eat a whole cow right now!

Zhang Yi glanced at the glaring sun outside the window and really didn't want to go out and get scorched.

"Let's order takeout," she suggested.

"Great! I can order so many delicious things to eat!" Lin Wanning said, already opening the Haowei delivery app.

"I want to eat snail rice noodles with stinky tofu. Should I drop out of school and sell snail rice noodles? Why can't they sell snail rice noodles in Licheng?!"

"Luosifen is so delicious!"

The foodie Ruan Wen put down her phone and started grumbling and complaining.

"Go ahead, I support you." Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at her best friend's puffed-up chest, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't envious.

Although hers wasn't small either, it paled in comparison to Xiao Ruanwen's.

"If Xiaoxiao drops out of school with me, I'll go. I'll be in charge of cutting snails, and you can be in charge of cooking rice noodles." Xiao Ruanwen hugged Xia Xiaoxiao's waist, humming and snuggling in her arms to absorb energy.

"Okay, get up and see what you want to eat." Xia Xiaoxiao patted her back and handed her the phone that Lin Wanning had sent.

"Eat!" Xiao Ruanwen picked up her phone and instantly perked up when she saw it was Pizza Hut.

Port city.

Zhang Chunxue kicked Xu Qingfan, who was squatting on the ground saying he was going to massage her legs.

"Are you hungry? Auntie will take you out for a big meal."

Xu Qingfan helped her put her high heels back on, patted his thigh, and stood up.

"what?"

"I thought you'd be busy for a long time, Auntie. I just asked Sister Juan to order takeout."

Since Lin Juan was transferred to Haoweiyun, Zhang Chunxue has not hired a new personal secretary.

"Wash your hands!" Zhang Chunxue glared at him.

"No... Auntie, my eyes are itchy." Xu Qingfan had a constipated look on his face; he really didn't have any!
After he washed his hands and came out again, Zhang Chunxue smiled and said, "Are your eyes still itchy? Do you want Auntie to scratch them for you?"

"No need, no need, I've already scratched my hands after washing them!" Xu Qingfan flicked water droplets onto her face, earning him a glare and a reproachful look from Zhang Chunxue.

"If you ordered takeout, then let's eat takeout. I haven't been keeping an eye on your Haoweiyun brand. How's it doing?" Zhang Chunxue pulled out two tissues to wipe his hands.

"First of all, it's not my Haoweiyun, it's me and Auntie, our Haoweiyun." Xu Qingfan frowned, staring at his auntie.

"Pfft, okay, okay, it's our delicious Yun." Zhang Chunxue was the first to give in and chuckled softly.

"That's pretty much it."

Xu Qingfan gloated for a moment before saying, "Great! We've already captured 30% of the mobile market share. Apart from the cost of copyright fees, we haven't spent much on marketing."

"The next step is to improve the intelligent push algorithm based on user profiles."

"Okay, keep it up, Auntie believes in you." Zhang Chunxue gave him a thumbs up in a serious tone, but soon couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hehehe"

Xu Qingfan:
[This auntie's sense of humor is just as good as Ruan Wen's.]
"Come in." A knock came from outside the door, and the two called out at the same time.

Zhang Chunxue had already regained her seriousness, but after seeing that it was Lin Juan who pushed the door open, her laughter resumed.

"Hey~ you're laughing so happily, what are you saying?" Lin Juan put the takeout container on the coffee table, walked over and patted Xu Qingfan's head.

“We’re talking about animal sounds,” Xu Qingfan explained.

"Hmm?" Zhang Chunxue stopped laughing and looked at him with Lin Juan.

"The cow moos, the horse neighs, and the cow and horse say 'Yes, sir!'"

"Oh, so you're secretly cursing me, aren't you? Sister Zhang, look at him!" Lin Juan knocked him on the head three times.

When Xu Qingfan asked her to order takeout, Lin Juan's reply was, "Received, little boss!"

Lin Juan pulled up her chat history with Xu Qingfan, and Zhang Chunxue glanced at it before glaring at him reproachfully: "Hurry up and apologize to your sister Juan!"

Of course, everyone knows this is just a joke, and it's mostly just playful banter.

"Mr. Mr. Let me massage your back, Sister Juan." Xu Qingfan ran up behind Lin Juan like a lackey and started massaging her shoulders.

"Hiss~ I think you're more likely trying to kill me to silence me!"

"Seriously, Sister Juan, your shoulders aren't stiff at all! Do you rub them at work?" Xu Qingfan scratched the back of his head. "Hitting the boss? A month's salary deducted!"

"You're still here!"

"You're going to deduct a month's salary, huh? I don't want my salary this year!" Lin Juan rubbed her hands together, eager to fight.

"I was just kidding. No, Auntie, help me!" "I've wanted to beat him up for ages, go Juan!"

Lin Juan and Xu Qingfan circled around the desk, while Zhang Chunxue happily turned on her phone to record a video.

Looking back on countless workdays, today was her happiest day.

Eight o'clock at night.

Xu Qingfan and Zhang Chunxue drove back to Licheng. In the old house, the living room light was still on.

After parking the car, before they could even turn off the engine, the five people who heard the noise ran out hand in hand.

"Aunt!"

"mom!"

Zhang Chunxue seems to be more popular than the smelly man.

"You've been studying all day, did you eat dinner properly?" Zhang Chunxue rubbed her daughter's head and looked at everyone.

"Hey~ I ordered too much takeout for lunch and couldn't finish it, so I ate takeout for dinner too." Xiao Ruanwen scratched the back of her head a little embarrassedly, because she was the one who ordered too much.

"Auntie, Auntie, we started studying right after we aired out our quilts this morning, and we've been studying all day!" Lin Wanning reached out and hooked her hand around Xu Qingfan's clothes, looking at her aunt.

"You're working so hard! How about Auntie treats everyone to a late-night snack later?" Zhang Chunxue and Xu Qingfan exchanged a smile and said in a tone that sounded like they were coaxing a child.

"it is good!"

"Long live Auntie!"

"."

Xu Qingfan played with Lin Wanning's small hand, watching the harmonious and loving scene of the six beauties, five little ones and one big one.

[If only I had Auntie's affability, I wouldn't have to worry about a chaotic scene!] he thought to himself.

They didn't tidy up their textbooks and test papers on the desk because they had to go there to review tomorrow morning.

After turning off the lights and closing the doors and windows in the living room, the six people quickly got into Zhang Chunxue's car.

Around 8 p.m., many late-night food stalls were still closed, so the seven of them ended up having a meal at Haidilao.

Back in 11, Haidilao hadn't yet developed a culture of enthusiastic service, so it was quite friendly to people with social anxiety.

Of course, it's also possible that Haidilao was localized after it moved to the port city.

After all, that's how street food stalls are in Hong Kong; a boss who doesn't pick up customers can't be a good chef.

One of the most memorable scenes – the dead Huang Weijie sizzling in a clay pot.

"Auntie, your snail rice noodles are so delicious, but there aren't any chain stores in Licheng. Auntie, could your company open a chain of snail rice noodle stores?" While eating sweet potato noodles, Xiao Ruanwen thought of the snail rice noodles she wanted to eat that morning.

"I haven't looked into that before. I'll have someone from the marketing department check it out tomorrow." Zhang Chunxue nodded and smiled, seemingly having taken it to heart.

"Oh, I was just saying, Auntie, you don't have to take it so seriously." Xiao Ruanwen waved her hands repeatedly, afraid that her momentary indulgence would unnecessarily increase other people's workload.

“Running a physical store is too troublesome. I think we can start with pre-made meals and then sell them through the Good Taste delivery channel,” Xu Qingfan said.

The ready-made duck neck is already being produced, but the product range is still relatively limited. It mainly serves as a sales channel for ducks from farms that are ready for market.

“That’s a good idea.” Zhang Chunxue thought for a moment and nodded in response to Xu Qingfan.

“It’s lunch break time now, Mom and brother can’t talk about work!” Zhang Yiyi looked at the two of them with dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay~ Mom will listen to Yi Yi and we won't talk about work anymore." Zhang Chunxue smiled with her eyes narrowed and served food to her daughter.

"It's all Ruan Wen's fault!" Xu Qingfan glared at Xiao Ruan Wen and started eating his food.

Xiao Ruanwen pointed to her nose, her face full of question marks.

"no!"

"What does this have to do with me? Brother Fan, you can't bully people like this!"

"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter.

I spent over an hour eating dinner, and by the time I got home it was almost 11 p.m.

"I'll sleep at home tonight." After arriving home, Xia Xiaoxiao opened the door and went into her own house.

She already slept at Xu Qingfan's house yesterday, so she should at least stay home with her mother tonight.

"Okay, see you tomorrow, good night."

Goodnight, little one!

Xu Qingfan and Wu Lingyu waved goodbye to her, and only after Xia Xiaoxiao went inside did he take out his keys to open the door.

"It's so much more comfortable living in the Lotus Courtyard. It's just a short walk away. Now I have to say goodbye every time I go back to my own home." Xu Qingfan shook his head and took out his keys to open the door.

"Ah."

"I also like small houses; they're cozy."

Wu Lingyu looked at Fan Ge's profile and smiled slightly.

Sometimes when she couldn't sleep, she would fantasize about what would happen if her life were reversed with Xia Xiaoxiao's, and she hadn't met Wan Ning, Yi Yi, Ruan Wen, and the others. Would she and Fan Ge have lived a peaceful and happy life together?

"Ahem~ I'm back."

The elderly couple were watching TV in the living room when they heard the door open. Yao Jinping blushed and got down from Xu Aiguo's arms.

"You're back." Xu Aiguo glared at Xu Qingfan, ruining his plans.

"Is Xiaoxiao staying at home tonight?" Yao Jinping stared intently at the television, pretending nothing was amiss.

"Uncle, Auntie." Wu Lingyu was behind Xu Qingfan and therefore did not see what had just happened.

“Yes, Xiaoxiao will be sleeping at her home over there tonight,” Xiaoyu replied.

"Hmm, you must be tired. Go take a shower first."

"Alright, I won't disturb you two's lovey-dovey time any longer. Xiaoyu and I will go upstairs now." After changing his shoes, Xu Qingfan pulled Xiaoyu, who was about to bend down to put his shoes back in the shoe cabinet, away.

"Brother Shoes"

After the two "bone-melting dragons" left, Xu Aiguo patted his thigh again: "Come on, wife, let's continue watching our TV."

Yao Jinping gave him a reproachful look, feeling ashamed; she couldn't bear the embarrassment.

"You can see for yourself, I'm going upstairs to sleep!"

Xu Aiguo's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes! Sleeping well is good, and going to bed early and waking up early is good for your health!"

The two elders dragged each other upstairs, and soon only the little brother whose testicles had been cut off was left in the living room.

On the second floor, in Xu Qingfan's room.

"Brother Fan, why are you in such a hurry to pull me up here?" Wu Lingyu had lost one of her slippers, so she had to put her free foot on Brother Fan's foot.

Xu Qingfan whispered something in Xiaoyu's ear, and Wu Lingyu quickly blushed.

"Uncle and Aunt have such a good relationship."

"Xiaoyu, we..."

"Hmph~ Don't even think about it!"

Wu Lingyu flung the scoundrel's hand away and hopped away on one leg.
