My childhood sweetheart, who was reborn with me, ended up as a loser.

Chapter 63 A Pleasant Day

It was unusual for Xu Qingfan's house to be so lively; everyone who was supposed to come from Licheng was there, and those who weren't supposed to were nowhere to be seen.

As for who shouldn't have come, you'll have to ask Xia Guofu. He said he had something to do and was going back to his hometown the night before last, and then he vanished as if he'd disappeared into thin air. He hasn't been home for two days.

Ignore him.

"Xiao Fan, come and tell Grandpa what books you usually read. Your knowledge is almost as extensive as Grandpa's!" Lin Zhenyuan patted the sofa next to him and called him over to sit down.

"How could that be? Grandpa has eaten more salt than I've eaten rice, and he's crossed more bridges than I've walked roads. I've just read more history books; my knowledge is definitely far less than Grandpa's!"

"Haha, that makes sense!"

Lin Zhenyuan is practically being coaxed into submission; Xiao Fan's words are just so charming.

"However, it's quite remarkable that Xiao Fan has such insight at his age. Chairman Mao stood on Tiananmen Square, which is why he was able to write 'The Chinese people have stood up!'"

"Grandpa's favorite poem is Chairman Mao's 'Qinyuanchun: Snow'!"

This is a lie; his favorite poem before yesterday was Su Dongpo's "Jiang Cheng Zi: Hunting in Mizhou".

With a yellow dog on the left and a falcon on the right, what old man wouldn't yearn for such a life?

However, Qingcang has broken the law now, but Qingniao is not bad either. Lin Zhenyuan has put a lot of effort into it.

"Xiao Fan, Grandpa has something to tell you..."

Lin Wanning stopped him from speaking, reaching out her paw to pull his beard: "Grandpa, you've been hogging Qingfan for five minutes already! Qingfan needs to play with Ningning now!"

"Old Ye, did you hear that? Quickly return Xiao Fan to Wan Ning!" Grandma Lin chimed in, urging him on.

"Lao Ye" is a derogatory term for an elderly person, roughly equivalent to "old thing," so don't confuse it with "Lao Ye" (old man).

"Grandpa will just say one thing, 'Hey, baby, don't grab Grandpa's beard, I won't say it anymore, Grandpa won't say it anymore!'" Lin Zhenyuan was a real joker, playing along with his granddaughter's act, making everyone in the room laugh.

Xu Qingfan escaped the group of old people and returned to the embrace of the beautiful young woman.

"Brother Qingfan, let's play with the Little Tyrant Learning Machine!" Lin Wanning shook his arm and pleaded.

Yesterday, the little girl played with the Snowman Brothers all afternoon and got hooked. She wanted to continue being the little chick, hiding behind the tiny mother hen.

"Then let's play!"

Xu Qingfan had nothing more to say. Naturally, he would reward the heroine who rescued the prince!

"How could you just play like that? Did I agree to it?" Xia Xiaoxiao proudly raised her head.

"Xiaoxiao~ Xiaoxiao~" Lin Wanning took small steps to Xia Xiaoxiao and looked at her with his bright eyes.

Xia Xiaoxiao was completely powerless to resist. She grabbed Wan Ning's ahoge (cowlick) and melted it instantly!

"I can't refine even a little bit," she could only agree, "Okay, okay, I'll play, I'm going to play now!"

"Yay!" Lin Wanning jumped up excitedly and gave Xia Xiaoxiao a "muah~" on the cheek.

Xia Xiaoxiao tapped Wan Ning on the head, she really couldn't do anything with her, isn't it bullying to be so cute?

"laugh!"

Lin Wanning now adores Xiaoxiao, only slightly less than Yiyi, because the same charm she uses on her grandparents, which works every time, works on Xiaoxiao too.

"Come on, Xiaoyu, come with us to Xiaoxiao's house to play. The TV here is for Grandpa and Grandma to watch!" After reporting to the kitchen, Xu Qingfan came out and took Wanning and Xiaoyu's hands.

Seeing that Xia Xiaoxiao was also looking at him, Xu Qingfan thought for a moment, then lifted one leg and offered it to her.

Xia Xiaoxiao sneered, and actually took his foot, dragging him out on one leg.

Xu Qingfan suddenly had a thought: luckily Ruan Wen and Yi Yi weren't there, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to save his remaining two legs.

[Pah, pah, pah, what are you all thinking!]

...

After arriving at Xia Xiaoxiao's house, Wu Lingyu felt much more relaxed since there were no adults inside. She hadn't dared to sit on the sofa at Xiao Fan's house.

"Has Xiaoyu ever played Little Tyrant?" Xu Qingfan asked casually as he connected the phone.

"No, but I've seen people play it before, it's like playing games on TV." Wu Lingyu's voice was very soft, but you could hear a hint of excitement in it.

"That's right, Xiaoyu, you and Wanning play first. Wanning is a gaming genius, let her show you how to play."

"That's right, that's right, Ningning is the King of Games!" Lin Wanning jumped up with a "duang" and stood with his hands on his hips, looking very imposing.

"Um... okay, thank you Wanning." Wu Lingyu was quite polite, saying thank you before even starting to play.

"Take me flying! Take me flying!" Lin Wanning transformed into a fighter jet and ran around the living room.

Xia Xiaoxiao made up her mind that once smartphones were released, she would definitely create a set of exclusive animated emoticons for Lin Wanning!

Actually, we don't have to wait too long. The first generation of iPhones will be released next year. It reminds me of when I was a kid watching "iPartment". The "iPhone 18" in the show was as long as a tombstone.

Before their rebirth, it was the year the iPhone 18 was about to be released.

Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at the childish Xu Qingfan. Fortunately, they had returned to their childhood together, and everything from their past lives could be relived.

She has made up her mind that the two of them must have a sweet romance in college, and then get married after graduation because she is pregnant!

When they reach the age they were in before their rebirth, their child will be around kindergarten age, so they can have a second child!

It's best to be born as an older brother, and the second child as a younger sister, so the older brother can protect the younger sister.

Make up for all the regrets of your past life!

As for Lin Wanning, he was just a little penguin that could quack and cack, posing no threat to her whatsoever.

"Little one, what are you doing nodding and shaking your head over there? Come on, the game has started!"

"Oh, here it comes."

Xia Xiaoxiao quickly regained her composure and sat down next to Lin Wanning.

Just like he taught Wan Ning yesterday, Xu Qingfan also taught Wu Lingyu how to use the game controller. Perhaps Xiaoyu also has a talent for gaming, because she started playing very quickly and her character played flawlessly without any lag.

"Wow! Xiaoyu is a gaming master too!"

Seeing Wu Lingyu clear away all the monsters with a big snowball, Lin Wanning was completely shocked.

"It's so much fun!" Wu Lingyu bit her lip, tilted her head and smiled, without explaining that she had actually played it many times in her dreams.

She used to watch others play at her relatives' houses, but back then she was just a nobody, and nobody wanted her to play.

She thought she would probably never be able to play with the Little Tyrant learning machine in her life, but it was like a dream. Xiao Fan brought her to Xiaoxiao's home and handed her the controller.

Wu Lingyu couldn't understand it at all. Aren't game controllers supposed to be fought over? Some people even fight over them, but Xiao Fan just gave them to her so easily.

Xiao Fan is such a kind and gentle person. Her mother said that Xiao Fan is filial to his elders. Xiao Yu thinks that Xiao Fan is not only filial to his elders, but also... no, no, he is also very good to her!

"Xiaoyu is the mother hen, and Ningning is the little chick!" After judging Wu Lingyu to be a gaming pro, Lin Wanning continued to act as her little shadow, just like yesterday.

"Huh?" Wu Lingyu blinked blankly.

Wan Ning's silliness is natural, while Xiao Yu's silliness is a kind of foolishness mixed with a touch of wisdom, which makes her look particularly funny.

"Haha, Wan Ning said you're good at games and she wants to stay behind you to protect herself," Xu Qingfan explained, patting her head.

"Oh, it's not that amazing..." Wu Lingyu thought to herself with secret delight. Xiao Fan's hands were so warm!

"Brother Qingfan is right!" Lin Wanning said happily.

"Brother Fan is right..." Wu Lingyu said softly, pleased with herself.

"Xiaoyu, what did you call me?" Xu Qingfan blinked his beautiful peach blossom eyes.

"Ah... Fan... Xiao Fan..." Wu Lingyu thought Xu Qingfan didn't like her calling him that, and panicked for a moment.

She had just mustered up a lot of courage to call out "Brother Fan".

Because she saw that Lin Wanning always called Xiaofan "Qingfan-gege" (Brother Qingfan), and no one else called him that, only Wanning did it for no reason. She envied Wanning and wanted to have her own special nickname.

"Xiaoyu, didn't you just call me Brother Fan? Why did you switch back to Xiao Fan?" Xu Qingfan asked with a smile.

Wu Lingyu stared into Xu Qingfan's eyes for a long time, and after realizing that he didn't seem angry, she slowly relaxed.

Mustering her courage, she called out again: "Ah... I... Fan, Brother Fan."

"Haha, hey!" Xu Qingfan patted Xiaoyu's head, feeling happy to be an older brother again.

Xia Xiaoxiao pouted, suspecting that her previous thinking was completely wrong, and that this guy had actually awakened a "carrying girls" system!

"Gurgle! Little Jade Monster is coming!" Lin Wanning exclaimed anxiously, even using his native tongue.

"Ah...it's okay, it's okay." Wu Lingyu reacted quickly and immediately froze the monster.

Xu Qingfan smiled knowingly and subconsciously looked at Xia Xiaoxiao, only to find that she was staring at him with a strange look again.

Xu Qingfan pointed to the area around his head and then turned it around.

Xia Xiaoxiao's face immediately darkened, and her response was brief, just three silent words: "Xu the pervert!"

Xu Qingfan: ? ? ?

How did he become a pervert again?

[I'll show you what a pervert I'll be sooner or later!]

...

They were having a great time playing around when, soon after the food was cooked next door, Lin Jing came over to call them to eat.

"Little ones, dinner's ready!"

"good!"

The Little Tyrant learning machine is great; you can pause a game halfway through and never have to worry about your mom's cane-cooked pork.

We had a lot of guests over for dinner today, and the dining table wasn't big enough, so we set up another table on the coffee table for those who don't drink alcohol—we call it the kids' table.

"Grandma, Wan Ning, Xiao Xiao, Xiao Yu, and Ruan Wen, you're coming back to the village with me for the Mid-Autumn Festival! We'll have water fights, catch fireflies, set off fireworks, and eat kiln-roasted chicken!"

"Welcome everyone to come and play!"

Xu Qingfan took the opportunity to remind his grandmother, and Lai Manyao happily agreed, already thinking about how many chickens and geese to kill that day.

"Oh, and also, I heard from Aunt Zhang that my cousin is doing very well at her company. The boss praised her for her abilities, and she'll definitely get a promotion and a raise. Then she can bring Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle to Beijing to enjoy a comfortable life!"

"Hahaha!"

This might sound a bit cheesy coming from an adult, but it's just right for little Xu Qingfan. Children say the darndest things, and everyone bursts into laughter.

Even without Zhang Chunxue saying it, Xu Qingfan knew that his cousin was outstanding. Before her rebirth, although she didn't take her maternal grandparents to Yanjing to enjoy a life of luxury, she spent more than a million yuan to buy them a car and build a villa in the village.

This will happen a few years from now.

Although my uncle's wife ran away and he was ridiculed by the villagers, now that he drives an Audi with four rings, who can laugh anymore? They almost wish they could take his place!

"By the way, Xiao Fan, let me test you. Do you know the meaning of the sentence 'When the mountain flowers are in full bloom, she smiles among them'?" Lin Zhenyuan asked confidently.

It's that time of year again when the elders love to put their children to the test at dinner parties.

However, since the person being tested was Xu Qingfan, everyone stopped eating and wanted to hear his answer.

"Grandpa, this poem is from Chairman Mao's 'To the Tune of Bu Suanzi: Ode to the Plum Blossom.' When the mountains are covered with fallen petals, the plum blossom does not compete for credit, but simply stands quietly among the flowers, admiring them."

Xu Qingfan deliberately concealed his true abilities, only revealing the surface meaning.

Having lived two lives, he is still very savvy in interpersonal relationships. As long as you do these two things well at the dinner table, you won't offend anyone.

First, avoid pointless arguments with others, even if you know they are wrong. Second, give elders the opportunity to teach and guide, and don't always try to show off.

Lin Zhenyuan chuckled and stroked his beard: "Not bad, not bad, Xiao Fan's understanding of this poem is quite insightful. However, that's just the literal meaning. The deeper meaning is that we Party members should also be like plum blossoms, coming from the masses and going back to the masses!"

"That's right!"

"Well said!"

Grandpa and Uncle led the applause; both were veteran Party members. They raised a glass of wine, downing it in one gulp to show their deep affection.

"Oh, I see! Grandpa's right!" Xu Qingfan clapped his hands in a mock clapping manner.

Only Lin Jing covered her mouth and chuckled, because Xiao Fan had already told the neighbors this last night.

......

After lunch, the elderly group, who had drunk a little wine, said they wanted to go fishing by the river. Xu Aiguo was worried that they would get too drunk and fall into the river, so he had no choice but to go with them.

Xu Qingfan actually admired his father quite a bit. Although he didn't have the ability to make a lot of money, he never drank too much and smoked, but he never bought a single cigarette.

He'll smoke if someone offers him a cigarette, but he doesn't care if he doesn't.

In my mother's own words, "Your dad may not be very capable or romantic, but he's family-oriented, responsible, and has no bad habits, which is great. Xiaoxiao, you should look for a husband like him in the future, you know?"

As for who is the good man who is family-oriented, responsible, and has no bad habits, it is naturally Xu Qingfan!

...

During lunch break, Xiaoyu joined them, and the four of them lay sideways on Xu Qingfan's 1.6-meter bed. There was still plenty of space; two more could fit without any problem!

"Brother Qingfan, shall we play the Little Tyrant game console again this afternoon?"

"Ruan Wen will be back this afternoon. We'll wait at home for her to call us so we can take Da Huang to visit her."

"Okay, okay!"

Xu Qingfan suddenly turned around, startling Wu Lingyu, who had been staring at his back. She immediately closed her eyes.

Wu Lingyu felt a dark shadow moving in front of her, and the next second, she felt someone lightly brush her nose.

"Time for bed, good afternoon everyone."

Good afternoon!
