Chapter 136 Is this kid okay?
Chen Jianye actually knew why the Ran family invited him to dinner.
It’s just that I have a good relationship with Ran Qiuye, so Ran’s father and mother want to see me.
Just as Ran's father said, a girl should not be kept at home when she grows up.
Since they cannot keep him, as parents they must help the girl with the important matter of marriage.
Chen Jianye didn't think too much about it. He didn't think he must marry Ran Qiuye.
He just felt that Ran Qiuye was more suitable to be a wife.
Of course, the disadvantages are also very obvious.
Ran Qiuye's parents are highly educated, and the Ran family will be affected by the frenzy in a few years.
Chen Jianye didn't think it was a big problem.
Ran Qiuye has not studied abroad yet. If he falls in love with Ran Qiuye, Ran Qiuye's background is not complicated and the impact on him in the future will not be too great.
Moreover, Chen Jianye is also confident that if he is given a few years, he will definitely be able to climb to a very high position with the help of his hard work and system.
Maybe in a few years, he will go to Hong Kong to start a business.
In the 1960s, Hong Kong City was in its golden period of rapid development. It was no exaggeration to say that there was gold everywhere.
At the same time, the country was going through a decade of frenzy and nothing could be done.
Staying in the country is a waste of time.
Therefore, Chen Jianye's attitude towards this meal was very casual.
It's like a real meal.
Not too restrictive.
Chatted with Ran's father for a while.
The kitchen door opens.
Ran Qiuye brought a large bowl of soup to the table.
"It smells so good. Auntie's cooking skills are really good."
Chen Jianye praised.
"Haha, this time Qiuye's mother really showed her true abilities."
Father Ran chuckled and invited Chen Jianye to come to the table for dinner.
Chen Jianye didn't hesitate and pulled out a chair and sat down.
The Ran family's living conditions are very good.
There is a dedicated dining table and chairs.
This made Chen Jianye very envious.
Unlike him, I only have one dining table and I usually study there.
Ran Qiuye brought three more dishes to the table one after another.
A woman wearing an apron, with a kind smile and wrinkles at the corners of her eyes came out of the kitchen.
Although the woman is quite old, she has a good temperament and gives people a feeling of being unmoved in the face of wind and rain.
"Hello auntie."
"The food you cook is so delicious, it makes my mouth water."
Chen Jianye stood up to greet him.
"Haha, you're welcome, sit down and talk."
"Young man, do you drink? Do you want to have a couple of drinks with Lao Ran?"
Ran's mother asked with a smile.
When she smiled, the wrinkles on her face became more obvious, but she looked friendly.
"I have to go to the library to read in the afternoon, so I won't drink."
"If uncle wants to drink, I can also have two cups with you."
Chen Jianye declined a few times but didn't say anything final.
"Then have a couple of drinks with me."
Father Ran was in high spirits.
My wife cooked a large table of dishes today, it would be a waste if I didn’t drink some wine.
Ran's mother took out an unfinished bottle of Fenjiu and placed it on the table.
Ran Qiuye took out two wine glasses, filled each half with water, held them in both hands, and placed them in front of the dining table of Ran's father and Chen Jianye.
"Come on, Jianye, eat something to fill your stomach first."
Ran's father greeted him.
"Thank you uncle."
Chen Jianye said politely and picked up his chopsticks to pick up the food.
Every time he tasted a dish, he would give a compliment, and the smile on Ran's mother's face never stopped.
After eating a few bites, Ran's father raised his glass and Chen Jianye drank with him.
Throughout the whole process, Ran's father and mother behaved very normally and did not ask Chen Jianye any personal questions.
Instead, he asked about Chen Jianye's work, gave him some encouragement, and asked him to work hard and contribute to the country's construction.
Ran Qiuye was secretly surprised, as she was worried that her parents would check her household registration at the dinner table.
I didn't expect the atmosphere to be so harmonious.
But she thought too much.
Half an hour later.
There was only soup left on the table.
Chen Jianye and Ran's father drank up the wine in their glasses.
"Jianye, let's add some more."
Father Ran's cheeks flushed and he was in high spirits.
"Uncle, we have already had one glass, we can't have any more."
Chen Jianye said.
"Hey, you're right. I've already filled one cup. Is this half cup still missing?"
"More."
Father Ran was in high spirits and wanted to drink more.
"Don't drink so much. Jianye is embarrassed to say anything to you. As an elder, you should know what's going on."
Ran's mother said unhappily.
She had a stern face, like a teacher scolding a student.
Father Ran showed some embarrassment on his face.
"Uncle, auntie has spoken, let's just take one last sip and then stop drinking, is that ok with you?"
Chen Jianye said with a smile.
"Okay, it's up to you."
Father Ran nodded.
Chen Jianye opened the bottle cap and poured a sip for himself and Ran's father.
This bottle of Fenjiu has just been poured out.
The two clinked glasses for the last time.
Ran's father made tea and invited Chen Jianye to drink it to sober up and chat with him.
Ran's mother took Ran Qiuye to clean the table.
“I think there will be a major rectification movement in the country in the next three to five years.”
As they chatted, the topic between Chen Jianye and Ran's father involved politics.
"I don't think so. The country has a lot of work to do and must vigorously develop its production capacity."
“The rectification movement is not the most urgent.”
Father Ran waved his hand.
"It is precisely because we want to vigorously develop production that we need to vigorously rectify the work style."
"As the saying goes, there is no construction without destruction. If we don't clear away the shackles from the top to the grassroots, policies cannot be implemented and there is naturally no basis for governance."
Chen Jianye debates.
"No, the problem you mentioned can be solved slowly. We have only been a country for a few years."
"Throughout the dynasties of our country, great chaos was followed by great order, and now is the time..."
Mr. Ran quoted from classics and his words were more convincing than Chen Jianye's judgment.
Chen Jianye, a time traveler, did not refute.
Scholars are like this, they force past experiences into practice.
If the future could be predicted, the Ran family would have run away long ago without having to wait until 65.
"Jianye, can you still go to the library to read? How about I take you back first?"
Ran Qiuye finished her work in the kitchen and heard Chen Jianye and his father chatting nonsense, so she walked over and asked.
"Oh, I would have forgotten if you hadn't reminded me. I still have to go to the library to borrow books."
Chen Jianye quickly stood up.
"Comrade Jianye, are you leaving now? Sit for a while."
Ran's father tried to persuade him to stay.
"No, thank you for your hospitality, uncle and aunt. I really have something to do."
Chen Jianye waved his hands with a firm attitude.
Ran's father and Ran Qiuye sent Chen Jianye out together.
"Jianye, I'll go back to the library with you."
Ran Qiuye sat in the back seat.
"Okay, sit tight."
Chen Jianye turned around, waved to Ran's father, and rode away on his bike.
Father Ran watched Chen Jianye taking Ran Qiuye away, with a fatherly smile on his face.
He closed the door and returned to the coffee table.
"How is it? Is this kid okay?"
Ran's mother sat in front of the coffee table and washed her own tea cup.
The two have a clear division of labor.
One person was working in the kitchen while the other was testing Chen Jianye.
Probing is a very sophisticated technique.
Because people can pretend, what they say may not be true. You need to know how to see through what the other person says and understand his or her true thoughts.
"I think it's okay."
Father Ran took a sip of tea and was very satisfied.
"I'll drink with you. Of course you think it's okay."
Ran's mother said unhappily.
"Look, you're always like this. If I don't drink with him, can I tell what kind of person he is?"
Ran's father was also unhappy.
After drinking, under the anesthesia of alcohol, people's emotions will be magnified.
If it had happened before, after being scolded by Ran's mother, Ran's father would have just endured it and come over.
It’s not possible now. After drinking, the men must be the best in the world. How can they be controlled by the women?
