I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 481. Auntie, I want to marry five wives.
Back in the living room.

In just ten minutes, the four mothers had already gathered around the mahjong table and started playing.

Xu Qingfan stood behind Zhang Chunxue and helped her when it was her turn to draw a card.

"Auntie, you won so quickly! Let me draw you a joker."

"A cough brings wealth."

He awkwardly played the bright green "Fortune" note in his hand.

"Lucky Draw!"

"Haha, Xiao Fan, did you see Auntie's three fortune cards and deliberately hit the fortune card?"

Zhao Yuemin was all smiles. After flipping over three "Fortune" cards, he picked up the cards he had just played and made a "kong" (a set of three identical tiles).

Xu Qingfan patted his head in regret: "Oh dear, Auntie, I really didn't mean to."

"I saw it was a sweet potato and played it, without noticing there wasn't a single 'Fortune' card on the table!"

"Auntie, please give me another chance. I promise I'll win by myself next round!"

After all, we're not little kids anymore. It's fine to call her "sister" when our mothers bring it up, but it's a bit impolite to call her "sister" all the time.

Zhao Yuemin cheerfully pushed the cards aside and laughed, "Xiao Fan doesn't have a chance~ Auntie here, I'll win on the draw!"

The three mothers who lost money immediately glared at him, and Lin Jing took the lead in jokingly saying, "Xiao Fan, go next door and keep your dad company, don't disturb our mahjong game!"

"Tsk tsk, my bad, my bad." Wen Wanqing patted her forehead. "I must have made Xiao Fan angry with my joke just now, and now he's getting revenge on me!"

"Xiao Fan, it's alright. Come sit here with Auntie. If you win money, Auntie will give you half." Zhao Yuemin waved to him with a smile.

Zhang Chunxue simply gave him a look, pursed her lips and smiled secretly without saying a word.

Upon receiving the notification, Xu Qingfan immediately exclaimed, "Oh dear, there's no tea left! Aunt Lin just called for me!"

After saying that, he rushed off to serve tea and water, which made the four mothers very happy.

"I must say, Xiao Fan is the most sensible. I've never seen anyone his age who is as good at handling things as him." When Wen Wanqing invited her business partners to dinner, the partners often brought their children, but most of them at that age only knew how to hold their phones and play with their heads down.

"Who says otherwise? I had a high fever one night before the New Year. It was windy and thundering outside. I thought I'd take some medicine and try to get better by dawn."

After Wenwen told me what happened, Xiaofan and his dad suddenly came over in the middle of the night. They carried me up and down the stairs. After I sat down to get an IV, I saw that Xiaofan's face was covered in rainwater. I didn't know what was wrong, but I suddenly started crying, and it took Xiaofan a long time to comfort me, hahaha.

Zhao Yuemin recounted the story calmly, but as she spoke, her eyes unconsciously reddened again.

"That's just how this child is. She never just talks the talk; she truly treats us like her own mother." Lin Jing wiped her eyes, which had become moist without her noticing.

"Haha, speaking of this, I'm reminded of the financial crisis in 2008. My husband, Lao Lin, was so worried that half of his hair turned white, and he suffered from insomnia night after night. At that time, we had already contacted real estate agents to prepare to sell our car and house."

Then one day, my daughter suddenly came to me with a bank card and said, "Mom, there's so much money in this card! It's money my brother Qingfan earned drawing comics for me."

Zhang Chunxue watched Xu Qingfan washing tea leaves, a faint smile appearing on her lips. There was no need to explain the bond between her and Xu Qingfan to outsiders.

"what?"

"No, it can't be that bad. Five yuan worth of mahjong tiles, how could they make you cry?"

When Xu Qingfan returned with the tea, he saw four mothers with red eyes and wet eyes.

"We're talking about you, Xiao Fan. We want you to be our son, what do you think?" Lin Jing explained with a smile.

"What are you saying? Although I call you 'Auntie,' I've always considered you all as my own mothers!"

"Don't the aunties also treat me like their own son?"

Xu Qingfan put on a fawning smile and served tea to each of them.

"It's a pity that Xiao Fan can't create clones, so he can't become six. We can each take one home, and Wan Ning won't have to call you goodnight every night anymore. We can also save a lot of money on the home phone bill."

Wen Wanqing stared intently at him, as if she were genuinely considering the matter of creating a clone.

"There's no need to go through all that trouble. How about we take turns coming from Monday to Friday, and Xiaofan can go back to his own home to be with his mother on Saturday and Sunday? What do you all think?"

Zhao Yuemin's eyes were still glistening with tears, and she looked at Xu Qingfan as if she were a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.

"I have no objection, but I'm afraid Ping won't be happy if we take Xiao Fan away," Lin Jing said with a smile, glancing towards the kitchen.

“That’s true. If I had a son like Xiao Fan, I wouldn’t want him to be lured away by other women either,” Wen Wanqing said.

"Absolutely! I bet I'd cry all night long if I ever got a girlfriend!" Zhao Yuemin chimed in.

Seeing that things were getting more and more outrageous, Xu Qingfan was embarrassed by the praise and quickly interrupted, "Alright, alright, mothers, stop your magic tricks. I'm not going anywhere else in this life, I'm just staying here with you."

Everyone's laughing now, but nobody believes it. In the future, they'll see that this scoundrel wasn't just saying it casually.

“How can you never go anywhere in your life? Auntie still wants to see Xiaofan in a suit at his wedding. Auntie will be old by then.” Lin Jing patted the back of his hand.

"Eh~ I still remember what Xiao Fan looked like when I first met her. She was a little over 1.1 meters tall and as delicate as a porcelain doll. As soon as I came back, she called me 'sister,' and my heart melted."

"Without realizing it, I've grown up so much."

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Wen Wanqing's pupils have refocused.

“I have a special connection with Xiao Fan. He brought Wan Ning and Xiao Xiao to my stall to play games. He was only five years old, but he wrote from one to five hundred in one stroke right away and won the biggest doll in my shop.”

"Unfortunately, when first grade started, we were classmates again!"

Zhao Yuemin had already played several useful cards in a row, and her attention was completely off the mahjong table.

"Aunties, please stop praising me. If I keep listening, I'll really get carried away and dare to marry five wives in the future!" Xu Qingfan waved his hands, speaking his true feelings in a joking tone.

He dared to marry five wives!

The mothers first looked at him in surprise, then looked around, and finally burst into laughter.

"Hahaha"

"Hahaha, Xiao Fan said he wants to marry five wives!"

"That's perfect! We can take turns coming from Monday to Friday, and rest on Saturday and Sunday!"

After hearing Zhao Yuemin's dirty jokes, the four of them burst into even louder laughter. The tears they had held back from being moved were now mixed in with their laughter.

"I doubt they could handle it. Five days a week, even an iron man would break down."

"Maybe our Xiao Fan is exceptionally talented. There's no rule that he can only cultivate one acre of land at a time."

"Eat more Totole!"

They thought Xu Qingfan was too naive to understand, so they kept telling dirty jokes and saying things like, "I'm so happy, I'll take a whole acre of land at a time."

Xu Qingfan just wanted to say: If I get dirty-minded, I can leave you all completely confused, and you'll only start blushing when you go to bed at night.

But now, he can only pretend that he doesn't understand.

I don’t understand, I don’t understand at all!
And he also had to pretend to be innocent and naive, to match the aunties' sense of superiority.

A 185cm tall, innocent male high school student is now available for online engagement.

"Is Totole the brand of chicken bouillon? Eating too much chicken bouillon is not good for your health," Xu Qingfan interjected.

After a brief moment of silence, bursts of laughter erupted.

"Hahaha!"

"Chicken bouillon."

"That's right, it's that brand of chicken bouillon, hehehehe."

"Goose, goose, goose!" They've gone mad, they've gone mad! The aunties have really all gone mad this time.

Xu Aiguo and Lin Qiaoshan exchanged a glance and then peeked out, both of them with three big question marks above their heads.

[Is this guy a friend of women? How come he gets along so well with them?]
[No, is this my son?]
noon.

"Alright, the rice is cooked. Everyone, come and have some soup first." Yao Jinping came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of slow-cooked soup that had been simmering for three hours.

"Oh, thank you for your hard work, Sister Ping. We're coming right away."

"It smells delicious, and it has a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste!"

The mothers got up from the mahjong table, washed their hands, and quickly sat down at the dining table.

"Hehe~ Mom, I made this cold dish, doesn't it look great!"

"Mom's got a big meal to eat!"

Five girls carried dishes of food to the table one after another, and the huge round table, which could accommodate fifteen people at the same time, soon became a little crowded.

"I have to attend the children's parent-teacher meeting this afternoon, so let's not drink alcohol. Let's toast everyone with a Coke instead," Xu Aiguo, as the head of the family, said, raising his disposable cup after everyone had arrived.

"it is good!"

"Uncle is handsome!"

Everyone applauded and cheered. Xu Aiguo stood up and, in front of everyone, drank the entire glass of cola in one gulp.

Although he doesn't usually have a high profile and seems carefree, Xu Aiguo is very reliable when it comes to being a father.

"Hey~ it's my turn. I won't say much more. I hope our whole family can always be as peaceful, joyful, and healthy as we are now, and that we can always get together and have fun."

"it is good!"

"Brother Qingfan!"

After Xu Qingfan finished speaking, the crowd applauded and cheered again.

Instead of going through the conversation one by one, everyone started eating and picking at their food after Xu Qingfan finished his cola and sat down.

"This is my first time making beer-braised duck, I don't know if it will taste good or not, you guys should try it." Yao Jinping said, picking up a piece of duck meat. After taking a bite, she felt that the taste was okay and went well with rice.

"Delicious duck!"

"Auntie, this is so delicious!"

"Auntie, it's delicious!"

"Auntie's cooking is delicious!"

Before anyone even started trying it, the five girls were already praising it.

"Is it really that delicious? I'm going to try it." Lin Jing happily picked up a piece of duck meat.

"This duck is delicious! We already ate some in the kitchen. Mom and Dad, you should try some!" Lin Wanning tapped his feet to the beat under the table and put two pieces of duck meat into his parents' bowls.

"Okay~ Mom will try the duck now." Wen Wanqing smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, my daughter." Old Deng's eyes welled up with tears; the food his daughter picked for him was just so delicious!
"Hahaha"

Lin Wanning's last syllable sounded exactly like "duck," which made everyone smile knowingly.

"Mom, what were you talking about in the living room just now? I heard you laughing and laughing nonstop," Xiao Ruanwen asked her mother curiously.

As for the fact that she heard laughter coming from the living room and couldn't help but laugh out loud in the kitchen, that goes without saying.

The others who hadn't been in the living room earlier also turned their gazes toward this scene.

"Yeah, honey, what are you two talking about in the living room? What could make you laugh so happily?" Lin Qiaoshan asked.

What were we talking about in the living room just now?

The four mothers looked at each other, because it seemed they couldn't really remember why they had just laughed.

In short, I found it very funny at the time, but after laughing, I forgot why I laughed in the first place.

"We're talking about Xiao Fan," Lin Jing said.

"That's right, we're talking about Xiao Fan!"

"Uh-huh!"

After Lin Jing finished speaking, the others echoed her words.

"Are you talking about Brother Qingfan? What's so funny about Brother Qingfan?"

"Yeah, Mom, what's so funny about Fan Ge?"

"He's quite funny."

All eyes immediately fell on Xu Qingfan.

The mothers had forgotten why they had just laughed, but Xu Qingfan remembered.

He said, "The aunties were praising me in the living room just now. I know I'm very good, but it's always a bit embarrassing to be praised to my face like that."

"Eek~" As he was praising himself, Xia Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ruanwen simultaneously booed.

Xu Qingfan didn't care and continued, "I just told the aunties to stop talking, because I was getting cocky and said I'd dare to marry five wives in the future, and then they laughed at me."

After Xu Qingfan finished speaking, he remembered that the four mothers had burst into laughter because of his dirty jokes, and they all looked a little ashamed.

[Xiao Fan is such a naive kid. He thought we were making fun of him for marrying five wives.]
[Luckily, Xiao Fan doesn't understand Tai Tai Le; if he said it in front of so many people, he would have been incredibly embarrassed!]
Xiao Fan is good in every way, except he's too naive.
Only Zhang Chunxue looked at the seemingly honest young man, Xu Qingfan, with a hint of suspicion. Xu Qingfan was such a simple-minded boy.

A first grader already knows how to post lewd pictures? Is this kid so innocent?
[But he's really putting on a good show. Could it be that his talk of marrying five wives wasn't just a whim?]
Unlike the shame felt by the four mothers, the five girls were filled with questions.

Especially Xiao Ruanwen, who knew Fan Ge's little secret, looked at Xu Qingfan with a distant yet curious expression.

[No, does Brother Fan really want to marry all five of us?]
How dare you?
“Actually, if Xiao Fan is capable of pleasing five wives, I think it wouldn’t be impossible for him to marry five wives at the same time.” Zhang Chunxue hadn’t said anything until she dropped a bombshell.

She looked at Xu Qingfan with a smile. When the scoundrel and his aunt stared at each other, she felt as if she were naked in front of him.

Everyone thought Zhang Chunxue was joking, but she was actually serious.

"Haha, I think it's not a bad idea. We have five daughters. Xiao Fan, if you can manage to coax Wenwen, I have no objection."

Zhao Yuemin thought it was a joke and blurted it out without restraint.

"Mom!" Xiao Ruanwen didn't expect that she would be caught up in the gossip, and quickly showed an embarrassed and annoyed expression.

Xu Qingfan looked down at his nose and thought to himself: Auntie, I've remembered what you said!

"Oh dear, look, our Wenwen is getting anxious."

"Okay, okay~ Mom won't say anything more."

After being glared at by her daughter, Zhao Yuemin smiled and shut her mouth.

Lin Qiaoshan kept a close eye on his wife, afraid that she might say something like, "If I can appease Wan Ning, I have no objections."

[Our daughter? Does she even need to be coaxed? She'd probably run over there eagerly.]
Lin Wanning also looked at his mother expectantly, hoping that she would say something similar.

[Mommy, tell me quickly! I want to marry Qingfan along with Yiyi!]
"Whoever Wanning wants to marry in the future, Mom will support her!" Wen Wanqing looked at her daughter with a happy smile.

Lin Qiaoshan's heart was hanging in suspense.

"Hehe~ Thank you, Mom!" Lin Wanning said with a grin.
