Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts
Chapter 750 509: Five Daughters-in-Law Would Be Perfect

On the way back, there were only the three of them in the elevator.

However, Xu Qingfan was afraid of being photographed and getting popular online, so he didn't make any moves.

"Auntie isn't coming home for lunch, right? Yiyi and Wanning are coming over for lunch." Xu Qingfan held Zhang Yiyi's hand, while his other hand naturally hung down, having been grabbed by Lin Wanning early on.

"Yeah, to brother's house." After laughing, Zhang Yiyi gently leaned her head on Xu Qingfan's shoulder, watching the floor numbers displayed on the elevator.

Seventh floor, sixth floor... second floor, first floor.

When the door opened, the three of them instinctively let go of each other's hands, and Xu Qingfan pushed the wheelchair out of the elevator.

"Brother Qingfan, where are we going now?" Lin Wanning leaned back in the chair, looking up at him.

Xu Qingfan looked down and smiled slightly, pinching her cheek, saying, "First, we're going to the market to buy groceries, get some pig's trotters for Wanning. You eat what you need."

"Okay, okay~ I want pig's trotter ginger, stewing pig's trotter ginger, to anger Zhu Yuanzhang to death." Lin Wanning wasn't picky, not even minding unclean pig's trotters.

"Where did you learn that rhyme, is it for an exam?" Xu Qingfan felt a strange familiarity, laughing as he spoke.

"Yiyi knows it, don't you know it, Brother Qingfan?"

As expected, as soon as Lin Wanning finished speaking, Zhang Yiyi also smiled slightly and continued, "Holding pig's trotter ginger, bump into Zhu Yuanzhang."

"Put down pig's trotter ginger, call Zhu Yuanzhang!"

"Call Zhu Yuanzhang, 5 meet the pig's trotter ginger!"

"Hold Zhu Yuanzhang, ask where to stew pig's trotter ginger!"

Lin Wanning might have found it fun, finishing the tongue-twister by herself. Her Cantonese was adorably cute.

Xu Qingfan was stunned, thinking, what has Zhu Yuanzhang done to deserve being made fun of like this?

But, he couldn't deny that it was quite catchy, enough to crush 99% of amateur rappers.

"Hehehe~ Brother Qingfan, don't you know? It's from Heartstorm." Lin Wanning's eyes laughed into crescent moons, thinking Brother Qingfan was dumb, though they all watched the drama together.

Being told this, Xu Qingfan did remember the scenes in the drama, but he still kept his stiff tone, saying, "My mind is filled with useful knowledge, unlike you, right?"

"Hey~ Brother Qingfan, you're a slippery snake!" Lin Wanning immediately roused, teasing him.

"Brother's a Slippery Snake." Zhang Yiyi covered her mouth, giggling beside them.

"Yiyi's right, Brother Qingfan is a Slippery Snake!"

"Slippery Snake, Slippery Snake!"

"Slippery Snake."

Xu Qingfan was defeated by the two, covering his face, whispering for mercy, "Stop it, stop it, people are watching us."

"Brother Qingfan's a Slippery Snake!"

"Brother Qingfan, do you admit it?"

"Hehehe..."

But, the more Xu Qingfan said this, the more excited Lin Wanning became.

"Brother's a Slippery Snake." Zhang Yiyi felt like even her walking steps were lighter, just like when she was younger, carefree.

Xu Qingfan wasn't truly afraid of embarrassment, just playing along with their act, whispering, "I'm a Slippery Snake, I admit it, please stop now."

"Yay! (^-^)V"

"Brother Qingfan is.... a Slippery Snake."

Lin Wanning excitedly waved her little hands, signing the last three words.

Even when they returned to the car, she was still quietly mumbling something.

Xu Qingfan and Zhang Yiyi exchanged a smile, sharing an understanding of doting on a daughter.

...

Pushing a wheelchair to the market is inconvenient, but under the girl's pleading, Xu Qingfan agreed to take Lin Wanning along.

Fortunately, it wasn't prime time for buying groceries at just past ten, and when reaching crowded stalls, the two girls waited in place while Xu Qingfan squeezed through to buy pig's trotters.

"Trotters are bought, next we go to the grocery store for sweet vinegar." He hung the groceries on the protruding handles of the wheelchair, but since his hands were dirty, he couldn't pinch Wanning's face again.

"Let's go!" Lin Wanning pointed towards the direction of the grocery store.

...

Hong Kong people definitely use CHIMEI sweet vinegar for stewing pig's trotter ginger, and whether to add additional water depends on personal taste.

Xu Qingfan and the others couldn't handle it too sour, so it was half water and vinegar mixed, and if still too sour, half a piece of sugarcane could be added to balance out the acidity.

"Old ginger, Brother Qingfan, we still need old ginger." After coming out of the grocery store, Lin Wanning reminded.

Xu Qingfan naturally remembered to buy ginger, but pretended to just realize, patting his head, and said, "Good thing Wanning reminded me, almost forgot to buy ginger."

"Hehehe~ Not just ginger, it's, old, ginger!" Lin Wanning said triumphantly.

Zhang Yiyi simply watched from the side, not exposing her brother's act.

After clearing everything up, their interactions seemed much more harmonious.

...

After buying ginger and eggs, as well as other ingredients needed for lunch, the three returned to the car.

"Should we ask Ruan Wen, since everyone is coming to the house for lunch, it wouldn't be nice to leave Ruan Wen out." Xu Qingfan suggested.

Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi exchanged a glance, with the latter pointing to his phone: "Brother, look at your phone."

Xu Qingfan was slightly taken aback, opening his phone screen to find over 99+ unread messages in the inbox.

"Huh?"

"When did you all chat, I didn't even notice."

In their group of six, the five girls had already been chatting a lot.

"No wonder Yiyi just said she wanted sweet and sour pork ribs, it was actually Ruan Wen who wanted it." Xu Qingfan quickly went through the messages and suddenly understood.

"Hehehe~"

"Brother, should we go pick up Ruan Wen now?" Zhang Yiyi tucked her hair behind her ear and said with a smile.

Even without Xu Qingfan's instruction, the driver instinctively re-planned the route.

"Alright, let's go pick up Ruan Wen first, surprisingly, the champion alarm clock snoozer woke up early today." He @Xiao Ruawen in the group chat, sending an emoji Pick Nose.
