I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 441. Ruan Wen's heart was bitter, but she couldn't say it.
After figuring out the details of the 100,000 yuan, Zhao Yuemin finally felt at ease.

Although their family's economic situation is not bad, 100,000 yuan is definitely a considerable sum of money.

Zhao Yuemin was initially worried that her daughter might have accidentally signed some kind of indenture agreement. After learning from her daughter that it was a friend's mother's company, she was also worried that Sister Zhang might be considering the friendship between the children.

Now that she has learned from Xu Qingfan that the copyright fee is one million, although it seems outrageous no matter how she looks at it, she still can't help but believe it.

"If it's Xiao Fan, a million isn't impossible!"

"Didn't someone say they'd spend 100,000 yuan to buy the song Xiao Fan wrote a long time ago? A million yuan wouldn't be a problem at all!"

In short, it's this kind of preconceived notion that Xiao Fan has been reliable since he was a child!

Moreover, since Xu Qingfan took the lion's share of the copyright fee, even though she still felt that 100,000 yuan was too much, she couldn't say anything more, otherwise she would be hurting the friendship between the children.

"Eat more vegetables. This beef is high in protein, and boys need to eat more of it as they grow."

"Don't just focus on eating the vegetables, the soup will lose its nutritional value when it gets cold!"

Zhao Yuemin had a big smile on her face as she kept serving Xu Qingfan food and soup.

"Hiccup~ Thank you, Auntie." Xu Qingfan obediently drank the soup while it was still hot, and in the blink of an eye, the food in his bowl was piled up into a small mountain.

"Eat your food, eat your food. This crab should be eaten while it's hot, otherwise it will taste bad when it gets cold." Zhao Yuemin nodded repeatedly as she looked at the bowl, which was completely empty.

"Auntie's cooking is really delicious." Xu Qingfan could only force a smile.

"Mmm~ It's delicious, Xiao Fan, eat more!" Zhao Yuemin's smile grew even wider, and she looked at him like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, liking him more and more the more she looked at him.

The five girls were watching the show and secretly laughing. Anyway, Xu Qingfan had a big appetite, and sometimes he would finish Xiaobai's portion, so they weren't worried that he would overeat.

"Alright, Mom~ I haven't seen you put any food on my plate. Fan-ge will get whatever he wants to eat himself!"

Hsiao Ruanwen said that she was not standing up for Xu Qingfan, but was dissatisfied that her mother gave all her love to Xu Qingfan and left none for herself!
"Even a chicken leg can't shut you up!" Zhao Yuemin glared at her daughter and took a tissue to wipe the grease off her mouth.

"Hehe." Xiao Ruanwen took a bite of a chicken leg, revealing two rows of big white teeth in a charming way.

"You're so irresponsible!" Zhao Yuemin glared at her, then turned back to continue serving food to Xu Qingfan.

"This mandarin fish is wild. Xiao Fan, why don't you try it and see if it tastes good?"

"Wild mandarin fish! That's very rare, thank you, Auntie!" What else could Xu Qingfan say but silently loosen his belt and continue eating.

A meal was enjoyed by both host and guest.

After the meal, Xu Qingfan wanted to get up and help clear the table, but was stopped by the five girls, who said that since she was "pregnant," she should rest and didn't need to clean.

Zhao Yuemin and her grandmother also wanted to go into the kitchen to help, but they were naturally "chased" out by the five girls.

The four of them could only watch TV in the living room to digest their food and chat about everyday things.

Zhao Yuemin was still the one leading the conversation. She said, "I heard from Wenwen that you went back to the village for the National Day holiday. Are Xiaofan's grandparents still in good health?"

"That's great. Our family has a check-up every six months, so any minor illnesses can be treated promptly," Xu Qingfan said with a smile, looking at his grandparents.
"The next physical examination is in November. We'll invite Auntie and Grandpa and Grandma to go together. We won't have to wait in line, and we can get the results on the same day."

Zhao Yuemin looked at her parents-in-law and agreed, "Then I'll trouble you, Xiao Fan. If Auntie is free that day, she can come along to take a look too."

Xu Qingfan shook his head and said in a very serious tone, "It's not that I only go when I have time, it's that I have to go whether I have time or not!"

"Pfft, okay, okay, then Auntie will listen to Xiaofan and we'll go for the physical exam together that day." Zhao Yuemin was touched by Xu Qingfan's concern, but also found his serious expression amusing.

In the Chinese mindset, going to the hospital when you're not sick is considered unlucky. Neither Xiao Lijian nor Zhao Yuemin had the habit of having regular checkups.

Therefore, after thinking about it, he did not refuse Xu Qingfan's suggestion and his emphasis on it.

"Then it's settled. Regular checkups will let you know that you're healthy, and you can live a good life with an optimistic attitude. When you're in a good mood, your immunity will improve, and your health will get better and better."

Xu Qingfan was worried that she was just saying it casually, so he made sure to emphasize it again.

"Okay, okay, Auntie promises, I'll definitely be free that day, even if I'm not, I'll still be free, okay?" Zhao Yuemin really likes Xu Qingfan. If she weren't so old now, she would want to hug Xiao Fan and pat his head.

"That's right, Uncle, haven't you taken any vacation lately?" Seeing that he had convinced the other party, Xu Qingfan took a sip of tea and casually changed the subject.

"I took a break once during the Chinese New Year, and the next one won't be until New Year's Day," Zhao Yuemin explained to him, putting down her teacup.

"Oh, I think there will be a performance at school on New Year's Day. Ruanwen will be singing on stage, and Uncle can come back to watch!" Xu Qingfan nodded and changed the subject to Xiao Ruanwen.

“It’s fine for her to sing at school. Kid, you should keep an eye on that girl at school and make sure she doesn’t fall behind in her studies.” Xiao Lijian suddenly spoke up, startling Xu Qingfan.

"Oh, Ruan Wen is very hardworking at school. She gets up at 5:30 every day and starts memorizing vocabulary in the yard before dawn. I usually don't get up until 6:30."

"Pfft, cough cough." The three adults exchanged a glance and almost burst out laughing.

They know best what Xiao Ruanwen is like at home. Unless there are special circumstances, she's the kind of person who can't be woken up until 11 o'clock. What Xu Qingfan said isn't entirely unreasonable, but it's practically unbelievable.

"Ahem. You might not believe it, but Ruan Wen is really hardworking, much harder than me!" Xu Qingfan originally wanted to continue his awkward boasting, but seeing the expressions on the three people's faces, he realized that he had gone too far.

"Alright, alright, we know Ruan Wen's personality all too well. We're relieved to have you looking after her, Xiao Fan," Zhao Yuemin said, patting his shoulder and offering him a way out.

For some reason, Xu Qingfan thought of that night when Xiao Ruanwen slapped him, and the old man blushed.

[Auntie, please don't be so relieved. I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it later.]
"Ahem!"

Just then, the five girls came out of the kitchen, with Xiao Ruanwen holding a chilled durian in her hands.

"Mom, Fan, what are you talking about? Are you eating durian?"

Zhao Yuemin saw that her daughter already had a piece of food in her mouth, and her face immediately darkened.

“Besides, you’re a glutton, so I’ll have Xiao Fan give you extra special treatment.” After she came over, Zhao Yuemin poked Xiao Ruanwen’s forehead and said.

"Hehe~ Great!" Xiao Ruanwen was actually quite proud.

"This one is dry-packaged, Qingfan-gege, have some!" Lin Wanning selected the best-looking piece of durian and proudly presented it to Xu Qingfan.

"Thank you, Wan Ning!"

"Brother Fan, try this strawberry, it's so sweet!" "Okay, thank you, Xiaoyu."

"Brother, I only want to eat half. Can you have the rest?" Zhang Yiyi pointed to the durian she had just taken a bite of.

"Okay, just give it to me." Xu Qingfan accepted whatever was offered.

"Do you want some strawberry head?" Xia Xiaoxiao was initially concerned about the presence of adults, but since Zhang Yiyi had already done this, she couldn't blame her for being ruthless!
Xu Qingfan really wanted to reject Xia Xiaoxiao; she was really treating him like a dumping ground!
what?
You say you don't know how many people would line up to eat Xia Xiaoxiao's saliva? Don't be ungrateful.

Xia Xiaoxiao thought Xu Qingfan was going to refuse, but then she saw him suddenly reach out his hand: "Give it to me, don't waste food."

"Here you go." Xia Xiaoxiao blinked, picked up another white strawberry, took a bite out of it, and handed him both strawberry heads together.

Xiao Ruanwen's grandparents exchanged a glance, and Xiao Lijian said, "It's good to cherish food. It's time for your afternoon nap. You can eat and chat slowly."

"Ok!"

Good afternoon, Grandpa and Grandma!

After seeing the two elders back to their room, everyone continued to eat and chat, while Xu Qingfan continued to finish off the strawberry heads they had produced or the durians they couldn't finish.

Zhao Yuemin's eyes were practically rolling to the sky, not because of Xu Qingfan's actions, but because of Xiao Ruanwen!
All the other girls knew to give the strawberry to Xiaofan, but her own daughter held the strawberry in her left hand and the durian in her right, covering them up tightly, as if afraid someone would snatch them from her!

[What a wonderful son-in-law! This silly girl just doesn't know how to be more ambitious!]
"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you. Look at Xiao Fan, even boys are more refined than girls like you."

Zhao Yuemin took a tissue to wipe her mouth, but Xiao Ruanwen looked at her with disdain.

"Tch~ Mom, Fan was just faking it. Why don't you eat durian, Mom?"

Zhao Yuemin:
[My silly daughter~ Did I mean for you to be as polite as him? I meant for you to be like the other girls and give Xiaofan the strawberry head and the leftover durian!]
She completely abandoned the idea of ​​hinting to her silly daughter. Perhaps, as Xiao Ruanwen said, she only regarded Xu Qingfan as her brother!

"Durian is very sweet." Zhao Yuemin picked up a piece of durian and quietly ate it.

Xiao Ruanwen secretly glanced at Xia Xiaoxiao, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Xia Xiaoxiao was not paying attention to her.

Xiao Ruanwen may seem like a gossip, but she's actually incredibly shrewd!
She could easily see what her mother meant. From Zhao Yuemin's usual nagging, she could tell that her mother hoped that she and Fan Ge would have something happen between them, and it would be best if they could get married right away at the Civil Affairs Bureau when they reached the appropriate age.

But Fan Ge is the person Xiao Xiao likes! Xiao Ruanwen is Xiao Xiao's best friend. How could she do something like stealing her best friend's man?

Ruan Wen was suffering inside, but she couldn't say it.

[Mom is really something! I've already told her I only see Fan as an older brother, just an older brother!]
"Auntie is going to take a nap too, so I won't disturb your conversation," Zhao Yuemin said as she finished eating a piece of durian, wiped her mouth clean, and stood up.

"how come!"

"It doesn't bother me at all!"

Good afternoon, Auntie!

Despite their words, once Zhao Yuemin left, the six of them visibly became more languid in their sitting posture.

"Fan-ge, what were you talking about with my mom and the others in the living room? I saw you two chatting happily in the kitchen." Since her mother was no longer around, Xiao Ruanwen immediately asked about her.

The other four also pretended to listen.

Xu Qingfan glared at Xia Xiaoxiao, who had no choice but to eat the leftover strawberry heads herself.

It's not that strawberry heads are unappetizing; Xia Xiaoxiao simply wanted to give Xu Qingfan the food she had eaten.

As for why I didn't give him the delicious strawberry butt to eat, well, he still needed a fig leaf!
Xia Xiaoxiao withdrew her supernatural powers, and the other three girls followed suit.

Xu Qingfan then spoke up, "Let me think. We talked about the physical examination. Next time, we'll invite Auntie and Grandpa and Grandma to the examination. Then we talked about Ruanwen's father taking a holiday during New Year's Day. I said that there's a performance at school on New Year's Day, and Uncle can come and watch Ruanwen sing."

"And then?" Xiao Ruanwen's eyes lit up.

Xu Qingfan didn't keep her in suspense and continued, "Then your grandfather asked me to keep an eye on you. Singing is fine, but don't let it interfere with your studies!"

"I knew Grandpa, you have such a keen eye! This Xiao Ruanwen is super lazy at school. She goes to bed early and gets up late, sleeps in class, and doesn't even take a shower for five days! Hey, why are you hitting her? Xiaoyu, stop her for me!"

Xiao Ruanwen didn't actually hit him, but her expression showed she was furious. (╬Benefit)
"Okay, you actually believed me when I was just kidding!"

Xu Qingfan stopped lying to her: "I told you, Ruan Wen doesn't need me to watch over her. She gets up before dawn every day to memorize vocabulary, and then she does a five-kilometer training run with Xiaobai."

"Pfft, hahaha!" Before Xu Qingfan could finish speaking, the five of them couldn't help but laugh.

"Are you going to go any further?!" Xiao Ruanwen rolled her eyes.

"I think the first version is more like the truth," Xia Xiaoxiao said, stirring things up.

"Believe it or not, I'm just saying nice things. Your grandparents are so happy, they're practically saying you're going to be an astronaut!" Xu Qingfan rolled his eyes, but soon he couldn't help but laugh.

"You little brat, Fan, you've given yourself away! Take this!" Xiao Ruanwen grabbed a pillow and charged at him, and the two instantly started fighting on the sofa.

Soon after being slapped three times on the bottom by Xu Qingfan, Xiao Ruanwen ran away with a flushed face.

"Waaah~ Xiao Xiao bullied me!" She hid behind Xia Xiaoxiao.

Xia Xiaoxiao looked at Xu Qingfan, seemingly wanting to say something but ultimately saying nothing.

She finally understood. She didn't know why the stinky dog ​​was being nice to her, but she was absolutely certain that it wasn't to confess his feelings to her.

So she'd better not provoke this stinky dog, lest he become unkind to her.

"Hmph~ You wretched Fan-ge, don't let me catch you doing anything wrong!" After realizing that Xia Xiaoxiao wasn't helping her, Xiao Ruanwen sat up straight again.

Xu Qingfan found Xia Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ruanwen very interesting, and a bold idea suddenly popped into his head.

[If this happens a few more times, will these two best friends drift apart?]
"What else do you want? I don't even dare tell my mom when I make money, and you just blurt it out like this after making 100,000 yuan?" Xu Qingfan glared at her.

Xiao Ruanwen stuck out her tongue and said weakly, "We're different. Compared to you, Brother Fan, 100,000 yuan is nothing."

"How dare you say that!"

"Woo~"
