Chapter 162: Playing the Open Card
Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Jianye's face became even happier.
He knew that his cooking skills had been upgraded to level 3.
Sure enough, the next moment, all kinds of information about cooking came flooding into his mind.
In addition to basic stir-fry cooking, there is also information on grilling, steaming, frying, pasta and more.
Chen Jianye kneaded the dough mechanically, slowly digesting this knowledge in his mind.
Five or six minutes passed.
Chen Jianye found nothing in the bowl with his fingers and realized that he had already kneaded all the dough in the bowl.
"Jianye, you did a good job."
Ran's mother offered her praise.
"It's all because of your good teaching, Auntie."
Chen Jianye said politely.
The system prompt sounded again in my mind.
"Congratulations to the host for reaching level 3 in a single skill. A lucky draw will begin."
The next moment, a lottery button appeared on the panel.
Chen Jianye quickly took the panel back.
He didn't know what rewards would be drawn, and it was difficult for him to do anything in front of the Ran family.
"You take a rest, I'll steam the buns."
Fortunately, Ran's mother was very understanding. Without Chen Jianye saying anything, she directly told him to go and rest.
"Thank you, aunt."
Chen Jianye hurried out.
"Don't rush back. Take the steamed buns away when they're ready."
"You gave me so many sweet potatoes. As your elder, I can't just take them for nothing."
Ran's mother reminded.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, auntie."
Chen Jianye agreed immediately.
After leaving the kitchen, he walked to his cloth bag, took out the kettle and pretended to drink water.
While no one was paying attention, Chen Jianye opened the panel and muttered to himself about the lottery.
Soon, the familiar lottery screen appeared.
One item after another flashed by.
After a few seconds, an item froze on the lottery panel.
Another card.
"It's not another fishing card, is it?"
Chen Jianye muttered to himself, and took the opportunity to put the kettle into the cloth bag to take out the card.
Relative Card: The host can use this card to force a relative to connect to himself.
Note: The higher the relative's status, the more distant the relationship; the lower the relative's status, the closer the relationship.
"Hmm? What's the use of this thing?"
Chen Jianye put the relative card into his personal space and frowned.
The higher the status, the more distant the relationship. If the relationship is distant, beyond three generations and five generations, they are no longer considered relatives.
The lower the status, the closer the relationship.
If you find yourself an old and poor relative, you will suddenly have an uncle who you have to take care of in his old age.
'There's something wrong with the design of this card.'
Chen Jianye secretly complained.
It is human instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.
He is also a layman, and he must hope that he has a powerful relative who can help him.
People like Ran's father can find a way for him and pave the way for him to become an engineer.
But if this is the case, the relatives are quite distant and may not necessarily help.
As for poor relatives, it is better not to have them.
"Jianye, come and have some tea."
Father Ran shouted with a smile.
"coming."
Chen Jianye temporarily suppressed his doubts and thought about studying it further later.
More than twenty minutes later.
Ran's mother came out carrying a cloth bag of white flour buns: "Jianye, you brought the cloth bag, take it back when you leave."
"Okay, thank you, auntie."
Chen Jianye responded.
Ran Qiuye also came out of the kitchen, holding a plate with six white flour buns stacked on it.
"Freshly baked steamed buns, come, one for each person."
"Try Jianye's cooking."
Ran's mother put the cloth bag in her hand next to Chen Jianye's cloth bag and said happily.
"I have to try it. This steamed bun looks delicious."
Father Ran is very supportive.
He picked up a steamed bun and took a bite, his eyes shining: "Well, it's really good."
Ran Qiuye, Ran's mother, and Chen Jianye each took a steamed bun and put it in their mouths to taste.
"It has to be Jianye, who has the strength to knead the dough well, and the steamed buns are delicious."
Ran's mother commented with a smile.
"Really delicious."
Ran Qiuye smiled faintly.
"It's all thanks to my aunt's good teaching."
"If you want to eat it, I'll cook it for you next time."
Chen Jianye took a few bites and swallowed half of the steamed bun.
"Haha, what a good kid."
Mother Ran's eyes narrowed as she smiled.
She was the one who disliked Chen Jianye at first, but now she is the one who likes Chen Jianye.
Once you like this person, you like everything about him.
"Uncle, aunt, I have to go back to the library to study."
Chen Jianye finished his steamed bun and stood up.
"You're leaving so soon, eat two more."
Ran's mother was not very happy.
He grabbed the remaining steamed buns on the plate and stuffed one into Chen Jianye's hand.
"Aunt, there's still a bunch of stuff in the bag you packed for me. There are exactly three steamed buns left. One for each of you three."
"If I'm hungry, I'll eat what's in the bag."
Chen Jianye quickly declined.
"Hey, you don't know them. They have small stomachs and can't eat."
"I only make about ten steamed buns each time. It would be a waste if I make more."
"Just take it."
Ran's mother forced it.
"Thank you, aunt."
Chen Jianye thanked him and took the steamed bun.
I thought to myself that Ran’s mother is such a good person.
Afraid of being hungry.
"Qiuye, do you want to go to the library with Jianye this afternoon?"
Father Ran gave a reminder.
"Oh, I'll go too."
Ran Qiuye stood up.
Chen Jianye had two bags hanging on his body and went out with Ran Qiuye.
Ran Qiuye closed the door.
"Your mother is so nice."
Chen Jianye took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand.
"She treats you better than she treats me. You didn't see the way she looks at you. She really likes you."
Ran Qiuye pouted.
"Does she want me to be her son-in-law?"
Chen Jianye decided to play it straight.
Ran's father has given him an ultimatum. It would be really inappropriate if he dragged his feet any further.
There is no such thing as being in a relationship these days, it's called dating.
You have to get married when you are in a relationship, otherwise your reputation will be ruined.
It is even more detrimental for young men and women to be together all the time even though they are not dating.
"Ah? Well, then what do you think?"
Ran Qiuye blushed and lowered his head.
"Of course I would. Your mother likes me and I like you too. What about you?"
"Would you like to date me?"
Chen Jianye held the steamed bun in one hand and Ran Qiuye's hand in the other.
"Ah, I, I need to think about it."
"I'm going to study abroad in the second half of the year."
Ran Qiuye was at a loss.
It happened so fast that she didn't know what to say.
"Then don't go, find a job, and build the country with me."
Chen Jianye said with a smile.
"I, I have to ask my parents' opinions and get their consent."
Ran Qiuye hesitated.
"Comrade Ran Qiuye, are you hesitating? Have you not decided to date me?"
Chen Jianye asked kindly.
"It's a bit sudden. Actually, I have a good impression of you, but I just feel that it seems too sudden."
Ran Qiuye still kept his head down.
"Then ask your parents and think about it again."
"You know my home address. If you have thought it through, you can come to my house to find me."
Chen Jianye gently pressed the back of Ran Qiuye's hand.
"Well, I'll think about it and discuss it with my parents."
Ran Qiuye nodded.
"Do you still want to go to the library?"
Chen Jianye asked with a smile.
"No, I'm confused."
Ran Qiuye said.
"Okay, then you go back."
"I'm waiting for you to come to me."
Chen Jianye gently let go of his hands and sat on the bicycle.
"Jianye, ride slower."
Seeing Chen Jianye was about to leave, Ran Qiuye finally raised his head.
"Don't worry, I didn't drink."
"Come to my house early to find me."
Chen Jianye waved his hand and pedaled away.
