Chapter 207 Asking Uncle to Become the Elder of the Chen Family

"Uncle, I'm dating someone, a girl from the Ran family."

"I would like to ask you, as the elder of my family, to discuss the rules of marriage with the elders of the Ran family."

Chen Jianye said seriously.

"Ah, this matter."

Mei Yubo showed a sincere smile on his face: "Which Ran family is it? Where is their address?"

He originally thought that Chen Jianye was going to use his identity to ask him for help or something.

I didn't expect that I would become the elder of the Chen family and help Chen Jianye propose marriage.

In terms of relationship, Mei Yubo is Chen Jianye's distant cousin, so it would not be his responsibility to propose marriage on behalf of the Chen family.

But Chen Jianye's parents had both passed away, and he had no other relatives in the city.

The closest person to him is his distant cousin Mei Yubo.

Therefore, Mei Yubo has no choice but to do this job.

"My partner's name is Ran Qiuye, his father's name is Ran Dinghong, and his mother's name is Lv Qiang."

"Their home address is..."

Chen Jianye talked about the situation of the Ran family.

"Ran Dinghong... I seem to have some impression of him. What kind of job does he do?"

Mei Yubo asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Ran Dinghong is the dean of the university, and Lu Qiang is a university teacher. The Ran family can be regarded as a family of scholars."

"My girlfriend, Ran Qiuye, has entered Red Star Primary School and is also planning to become a teacher."

Chen Jianye continued.

"Ah, I have some impression of it. I seem to have been to your father-in-law's school lecture."

"This family is nice. I can go and ask them for you."

Mei Yubo praised it and formally agreed.

The Ran family has been teachers for three generations in a row. Chen Jianye is paired with Ran Qiuye. Anyone who sees this would say that Chen Jianye is marrying above his station.

Mei Yubo was also very satisfied.

Afterwards, the two discussed more details.

For example, the betrothal gift to the Ran family, Chen Jianye’s own situation and so on.

Mei Yubo got the general idea.

I don't think this is difficult.

The main reason is that Chen Jianye worked hard and the Ran family admired him.

"It's time to eat."

"Lao Mei, Jianye, come here quickly."

Aunt Wang brought the dishes to the table.

Chen Jianye quickly got up and went into the kitchen to help serve the dishes.

Aunt Wang can’t be left alone to work.

"Jianye has a keen eye, unlike you, who is like a wooden man and doesn't know how to help."

Aunt Wang complained to Mei Yubo.

"Haha, I'm thinking about something."

"Jianye asked me to be the elder of the Chen family and help him propose marriage to his girlfriend's family."

Mei Yubo smiled brightly.

"Oh my god, Jianye, are you getting married?"

Aunt Wang immediately asked happily.

"Yes, I've already been to my boyfriend's house for several meals. I'm sorry to delay it any further."

Chen Jianye said politely.

"Yes, we should give the girl a promise."

"Lao Mei has been a matchmaker for several young people in the company. He is very familiar with the business of arranging marriages. You have found the right person."

Aunt Wang happily revealed the truth.

Chen Jianye looked at Mei Yubo with some surprise.

I didn't expect this cheap cousin to have such talent.

"Haha, now that I'm older, people always ask me to help with some work."

"Some of the children are from old leaders or colleagues. It's hard for me to push them away, so I just have to bite the bullet and do it."

"After a while, I learned a little more."

Mei Yubo smiled.

"Uncle Mei, I'm sorry to bother you with my affairs."

Chen Jianye raised the cup.

"You are my cousin, why are you saying such rude things?"

Mei Yubo raised his wine glass and gently clinked it with the glass in Chen Jianye's hand.

They each took a sip and picked up their chopsticks to pick up the food.

"I like Jianye to come to my house for dinner. He eats everything cleanly without any waste."

"Usually, we old couple can't finish two dishes when we cook them at home."

“It’s terrible to watch.”

Aunt Wang picked up some food for Chen Jianye.

The most uncomfortable thing about being a housewife is that you cook a table full of dishes and there is still some food left after you finish eating.

The feeling of failure is very strong.

The happiest thing is to meet a glutton like Chen Jianye, who eats his food with a clatter.

The emotional value is full.

"It's mainly because the food you cooked, Aunt Wang, was so delicious that I accidentally ate too much."

Chen Jianye boasted.

Aunt Wang was even happier and kept picking up food for Chen Jianye.

Even Mei Yubo didn't receive such good treatment.

After finishing his meal and drinking, Chen Jianye said goodbye.

"I just checked the date. Wednesday of next week is a good day for marriage."

"I will visit the Ran family next Tuesday afternoon. Tell them and we can go together then."

Mei Yubo warned.

"Okay, I'll definitely be there."

Chen Jianye nodded.

After leaving the Mei family, Chen Jianye rode his bike not back to the courtyard, but to the Ran family.

The cloth bag that originally contained sweet potatoes and eggs was now stuffed with two bottles of wine and a pack of cigarettes.

The Mei family is a particular family.

It is impossible to take the gift from the younger generation for nothing.

After Aunt Wang collected the sweet potatoes and eggs, she stuffed cigarettes and alcohol into Chen Jianye’s cloth bag.

Chen Jianye arrived at the Ran family's door and knocked.

"Yeah, Jianye is here."

When Ran's mother saw Chen Jianye coming, she was very happy to invite him.

"Why didn't you go to the library today? Hey, did you drink?"

Ran Qiuye walked over and smelled the smell of alcohol on Chen Jianye from a distance.

"I just had a drink with my uncle."

"I had lunch with my cousin at noon, and asked my cousin to be the elder of my family and propose marriage to your family."

"He agreed."

Chen Jianye said.

"Humph, you haven't asked me if I agree to marry you."

"Then your elders will be turned away."

Ran Qiuye said proudly.

"Jianye, don't listen to Qiuye's nonsense."

"Your uncle is Mei Yubo, right? When will he come over?"

Ran's mother reached out, pushed Ran Qiuye aside, and asked anxiously.

"It's Mei Yubo. He told me that he will come over next Tuesday afternoon."

"Then I will go with him to propose marriage."

Chen Jianye said seriously.

"Okay, okay, I will definitely cook a table full of dishes for you two then."

"Lao Ran, next Tuesday afternoon, did you hear? You have to keep them company."

Ran’s mother shouted.

"As you command, my lord."

Father Ran was very relaxed and replied jokingly.

"Jianye, why did you bring cigarettes and alcohol? Old Ran doesn't smoke or drink much."

"Take it back with you."

Ran's mother shouted loudly after unpacking the cloth bag.

"There's no reason to take back something you've given away."

Chen Jianye refused to accept it.

Ran's mother and Chen Jianye argued for a few more words, and finally agreed to accept the gift from Chen Jianye.

When the person receiving the gift says they don't want to accept it, it's just being polite.

If the person giving the gift takes it seriously, he is really stupid.

After Chen Jianye finished his business, he invited Ran Qiuye to go for a bike ride together.

Ran Qiuye went out with Chen Jianye.

Sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, after the bicycle had been moving for a while, Ran Qiuye quickly said, "It's daytime now, don't mess around."

"How can I mess around? In your heart, can I be so impatient?"

Chen Jianye was very unhappy.

No matter how much you want it, you can't do it in broad daylight.

Who are you looking down on?

"Well, that's hard to say."

Ran Qiuye snorted proudly.

The two of them chatted while riding their bikes. After circling the Ran family's house for a long time, Chen Jianye stopped the bike at the door of the Ran family's house.

Ran Qiuye got out of the car.

Chen Jianye turned his bicycle around and headed for the library.

After replacing a new book, Chen Jianye rode his bike back to the courtyard.

"Jianye, are you getting married?"

As soon as I returned to the courtyard, an old lady in the front yard asked impatiently.

"Ah? Not that fast."

Chen Jianye did not admit it and spoke in a roundabout way.

"Not that fast, I mean it's fast."

"I think that girl is really pretty, she's a little thin though, but when you two get married, you will definitely be able to make her plump and white."

Several middle-aged women surrounded Chen Jianye, trying to dig out first-hand information about him.
