Chapter 209 The Anxious Ran Family

"Thank you for your kindness."

Chen Jianye thanked him repeatedly and carried his bicycle out.

After going out, he got on his bike and led Mei Yubo towards the Ran family.

More than ten minutes later.

Chen Jianye slowed down his bicycle, pointed to a small house not far away and said, "Uncle, that house is the Ran family's house."

"Okay, I get it, let's go."

"I have been a matchmaker for leaders of the Public Security Bureau of our city. Yours is a small matter. I promise to arrange everything for you."

Mei Yubo is full of confidence.

Ran Qiuye stood at the door of the Ran family, looking at the road outside.

Anxiously waiting for the Chen family to arrive.

In the room, Ran's father Ran Dinghong and Ran's mother Lu Qiang were sitting in front of the coffee table waiting.

The two of them took two hours off from school in the afternoon, and Ran's mother specially prepared a table of food.

Father Ran prepared good tea for the guests.

There were also some fruits and a plate of snacks such as melon seeds, peanuts, and candies on the coffee table.

Just waiting for Chen Jianye to bring people over.

Although Chen Jianye said that he would come after get off work.

But the Ran family has to prepare in advance, otherwise it will seem that they do not value the Chen family.

"Qiuye, come back and sit down. Jianye said they will come after get off work. It's not time yet."

Ran Dinghong shouted.

Ran Qiuye sat back on the sofa reluctantly, his eyes still looking towards the door.

"Girls can't be kept at home when they grow up. Look, we are not anxious, but our eldest daughter is very anxious."

Ran Dinghong said with a smile.

"You said you would be my good daughter for the rest of your life, but now...ah."

Ran's mother, Lu Qiang, deliberately insulted Ran Qiuye.

"Dad, mom."

Ran Qiuye pouted, looking reluctant.

"Haha, you're not happy after I said a few words to you."

Ran Dinghong laughed.

Just as the Ran family was joking and trying to digest their inner tension.

dong dong!

There was a knock at the door.

The three people in the room quickly turned their heads to look.

The person standing at the door was Chen Jianye.

"Jianye."

A bright smile suddenly appeared on Ran Qiuye's face.

I feel like my soulmate has finally arrived.

"Jianye is here."

"Come sit down and have a cup of tea with me."

Father Ran remained calm and greeted us warmly.

"Jianye, you're here early."

Ran's mother, Lu Qiang, had a smile on her face and glanced at the cloth bag on Chen Jianye's body and the middle-aged man standing next to Chen Jianye.

"Uncle, aunt, this is my cousin Mei Yubo."

"He is an elder of my Chen family. He came here specially to propose marriage to the Ran family on behalf of the Chen family."

Chen Jianye took the cloth bag from his body and handed it to Ran's mother: "This is a little gift from me."

"How embarrassing."

Ran's mother said something polite and took the cloth bag with both hands.

"Oh, Comrade Mei Yubo, please sit here."

Ran Dinghong stood up and walked over to invite him.

As the host, he has to show some expression when a distinguished guest comes.

You can't just sit there and greet him like you did with Chen Jianye.

What's more, putting aside his status as the elder of the Chen family, Mei Yubo's personal status and position are also worthy of Ran Dinghong's greeting.

"Comrade Ran Dinghong, you're welcome."

Mei Yubo and Ran Dinghong shook hands cordially and sat on the sofa.

"Comrade Ran Dinghong, please have some tea."

Ran's mother handed him an enamel cup containing brown sugar water made with boiling water.

This is the etiquette of the old city.

Brown sugar is a very rare item in the countryside. When relatives come, we have to entertain them with the best things in our home.

Although the Ran family was well-off and never lacked brown sugar, this set of rules was passed down.

"Thank you, Comrade Lu Qiang."

Mei Yubo took the enamel cup with both hands, took a sip, and then put it down gently.

"Comrade Mei Yubo, you are here on behalf of the Chen family to ask the Ran family to propose marriage. What do you have to say?"

Ran Dinghong asked.

"Hey, to be honest, I don't understand any of this."

"I am the only relative of Jianye in Beijing. He found me, so I had no choice but to force him to join."

"I'm sure you all understand his situation. Jianye's parents are not here, and the Chen family doesn't have any rules."

"The Ran family is a family of scholars, and the marriage of children is a big deal. If there are any rules, just mention them, and our Chen family will definitely meet them."

Mei Yubo first made fun of himself and then expressed his position.

"My wife and I only have Qiuye as our daughter. As long as she lives a good life, the Ran family doesn't care about rules or regulations."

"We have investigated Jianye. This kid is very motivated and down-to-earth. Both us are satisfied."

"I believe that if my daughter marries him, he will not let her suffer."

Ran Dinghong said sincerely.

Ran Qiuye wiped away tears as she listened.

"Jianye is indeed a good boy, but we in the city of Sijiu still have to follow some rules when marrying off girls."

"Your Ran family has many relatives and friends. If you don't do it well, I'm afraid it will be a loss of face for you."

"..."

Mei Yubo spoke with a pause.

They are all empty and false words speaking from the perspective of the Ran family.

There is an unwritten rule in the city that money should not be mentioned when discussing matters.

If you say the word "money", you will immediately lose face and become full of the smell of money.

So whether it was Mei Yubo or Ran Dinghong, both of them said things that sounded very false and empty to Chen Jianye and Ran Qiuye.

After talking for a long time, I still don’t know what the two of them talked about.

Chen Jianye quietly pulled Ran Qiuye to the kitchen.

"Are you happy?"

Chen Jianye hugged Ran Qiuye and asked with his head down.

"Not happy."

Ran Qiuye pouted.

"Why are you unhappy?"

Chen Jianye asked.

"If you treat me badly in the future, my parents will be so sad. I am their only child."

Ran Qiuye was very worried.

"How could I be bad to you? Just imagining."

Chen Jianye clung tightly to Ran Qiuye.

"You never know. When you become rich and an expert, I will just be a teacher."

"There will be many young and beautiful girls sticking to you..."

Ran Qiuye gave full play to his imagination.

Chen Jianye kissed her directly.

Ran Qiuye stopped talking and let Chen Jianye control her.

A few minutes later, Ran Qiuye hugged Chen Jianye, and the wild images in her mind disappeared.

Chen Jianye opened the kitchen door and started cooking.

The elders are all chatting and we have to eat soon.

No one else is doing it, so he shows off his skills.

Ran Qiuye was helping out on the side.

After the hot oil was put into the pan, the aroma soon wafted from the kitchen.

The three people sitting at the coffee table smelled the smell from the kitchen, but they didn't even glance at it and continued talking.

More than twenty minutes later.

Ran Qiuye brought the dishes to the table one after another.

"Dad, Mom, Uncle Mei, the food is ready."

"How about eating first."

After Ran Qiuye served the dishes, she added five bowls of rice and shouted towards the coffee table.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat."

"Comrade Mei Yubo, shall we have a few drinks?"

Ran Dinghong stood up.

"It's okay to have a few sips. That's what I was thinking."

Mei Yubo was all smiles.

There is a bottle of Moutai on the table.

It was exactly what Chen Jianye had given it to him before.

Chen Jianye opened the bottle of Maotai and poured a glass for the two elders at the table.

Today he is the junior, it is not his place to speak, and it is not convenient for him to drink.

"Jianye, you are good at cooking. Your cooking skills are no worse than your aunt's."

Ran Dinghong glanced at the desktop.

Four dishes and one soup, all delicious and tasty. Even before you taste them, they have already whetted your appetite.

She is not inferior to the housewife who has been working in the kitchen for decades.

"It's OK. It's edible."

Chen Jianye replied with a smile.

"My Qiuye can't cook, so she's lucky to have found a husband who can cook."

Lu Qiang said with a smile.

"mom."

"I can cook."

Ran Qiuye was unhappy.

"Oh, look, my eldest girl is unhappy."

Lu Qiang chuckled.

At the table, the three elders suddenly burst into laughter.
