Chapter 210 Still Calling Me Uncle
"Eat your food. Come, Comrade Yu Bo, try Jianye's cooking."
Ran Dinghong first picked up a piece of food with chopsticks for Mei Yubo.
His way of addressing Mei Yubo also changed from Comrade Mei Yubo to Comrade Yubo.
It shows that the relationship between the two sides is closer.
"Let's eat together. I'll do it myself."
Mei Yubo was polite.
After eating a bite of food, Mei Yubo picked up the wine glass and said, "Comrade Ran Dinghong, I'd like to take this opportunity to propose marriage to Jianye so that we can officially get to know each other."
"Thank you for the good food and wine. When you are free later, you can bring your wife to my house for a visit."
"I am very happy to communicate with a knowledgeable person like you."
"That's too kind." Ran Dinghong raised his glass.
The two of them clinked their cups lightly and took a sip each.
"I think the Ran family girl is indeed a good child, more than enough for Jianye. Thank you to the Ran family for raising such an excellent child."
"Jianye, you have to pour a glass of wine and toast your father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Mei Yubo said again.
"It's my uncle."
Chen Jianye poured himself half a glass of wine, raised the glass and stood up: "Uncle..."
"You still call me uncle?"
Mei Yubo said unhappily.
"Dad, Mom, thank you for raising Qiu Ye to adulthood."
"My parents passed away early, so you will be my parents from now on."
Chen Jianye bent down and raised the cup.
"Good boy, good boy."
Ran Dinghong was very excited and wanted to stand up and clink glasses with Chen Jianye.
Lu Qiang's eyes also turned red.
Isn't it just to hear these words that I chose Chen Jianye as my son-in-law?
Now that Chen Jianye has spoken it out at the table, they have hope for the future.
"You are the elder, just sit down and talk."
Mei Yubo reached out and pressed Ran Dinghong down on his seat.
"Jianye, work hard. Your mother and I will fully support you two."
Ran Dinghong also expressed his opinion.
The two of them clinked their glasses lightly.
Chen Jianye took a big sip and only a quarter of the half glass of wine was left.
The remaining quarter was prepared by Chen Jianye as a toast to Mei Yubo.
"Don't drink too fast."
Ran Qiuye reminded.
At the table, the three elders had smiles on their faces.
I feel that Ran Qiuye has already had the awareness of being the Chen family's daughter-in-law.
They haven't even got the marriage certificate yet, but they're already taking care of Chen Jianye.
Nowadays, when a wife takes care of the man in the family, it is a sign of love.
Next, it was the melee stage between Mei Yubo and Ran Dinghong.
Before two people raise their glasses, they must chat a few words to give the other person a reason to raise the glass.
It's like an old sow wearing a bra, one after another.
Chen Jianye couldn't understand the meaning of some of the words.
"No wonder the elders have to do this job. The younger generation can't understand what they are saying and can't follow their conversation."
Chen Jianye said secretly.
He had nothing to do, he just ate the food.
Occasionally whispering a few words to Ran Qiuye.
After more than 20 minutes, a bottle of Moutai was finished in the melee.
Lu Qiang took out another bottle of Moutai.
Chen Jianye unscrewed the lid and poured wine for the two elders.
"Just drink this glass of wine, no more."
Lu Qiang put away the remaining Moutai.
Drinking too much alcohol is harmful to your health.
Even though I'm happy today, I can't let two old men take care of my body.
"Uncle Mei, I'll toast you a glass of wine."
"You helped me with my marriage, and I will always remember your kindness."
Chen Jianye said.
"Hey, we are all family, why are you saying this?"
"You two should live a prosperous life in the future. Come and have a meal with me when you have time. It's better than anything else."
Mei Yubo said very honestly.
"Yes, what Comrade Yu Bo said is also what I meant."
"I have to accompany one."
Ran Dinghong tapped the table lightly and raised his glass.
Chen Jianye drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
Ran Dinghong and Mei Yubo slowed down their drinking and took small sips.
You can't just drink alcohol at the table.
By the end of the drink, everyone had almost finished drinking, and it was just the right time to talk about business.
For example, how to set a date for the wedding banquet, where to hold it, how to pick up the bride, how much betrothal gifts to give, how much return gifts to give, etc.
Of course, none of it involves money.
The Ran family is a respectable family, and it is extremely vulgar for them to talk about money.
It's really a disgrace to the family.
Chen Jianye listened for a long time but still couldn't understand what the two elders were talking about.
Ran Qiuye quietly pulled Chen Jianye away from the table.
"How about we go out for a walk?"
Chen Jianye said in a low voice.
He had drunk too much and their relationship was already clear, so he wanted to do something with Ran Qiuye.
"We can't leave our elders here."
Ran Qiuye looked embarrassed: "Wait a little longer."
"alright."
Chen Jianye thought about it and agreed.
No matter how anxious you are to get things done with Ran Qiuye, there is no need to rush for this moment.
At the table, Ran Dinghong and Mei Yubo drank the last glass of wine for nearly half an hour.
It took them less than half an hour to finish a bottle of Moutai, but it took them longer to finish the last two glasses of wine than the whole bottle of Moutai.
After everything was finalized, the two of them left the table.
"Comrade Yu Bo, go to the sofa and have some tea."
Ran Dinghong pulled Mei Yubo's arm.
"No, my wife is waiting at home, I have to go back."
"I've had a good drink tonight. Before I get confused, there are some things I need to say to Jianye. I need to make them clear."
Mei Yubo waved his hand to refuse.
"Well, bring your wife next time and we can have a few drinks together."
Ran Dinghong didn't say much.
"must."
"Drinking with Brother Ran is really a great pleasure."
Mei Yubo said with a smile.
"Haha, drinking with Brother Mei is like saying goodbye."
"I am happier than when I finished translating a famous book."
Ran Dinghong also laughed.
The two walked out of the house hand in hand.
"Jianye, you must send Brother Mei home."
Ran Dinghong instructed.
"Dad, don't worry, I'll send my cousin home first, and then I'll go home."
Chen Jianye replied.
"Brother Ran, go home, we are leaving."
Mei Yubo got on his bike and waved.
"Be sure to come when you have time."
Ran Dinghong shouted.
"Don't worry, I will definitely come."
Mei Yubo responded loudly.
Only after watching the bicycle disappear from his sight did Ran Dinghong turn around and go back to the house.
Seeing his wife and daughter cleaning the table, Ran Dinghong smiled.
In his life, he married a good wife and had a beautiful daughter.
Now I have found a good home for my daughter.
enough.
"Uncle, when are you going to talk to...my father-in-law?"
On the way back, Chen Jianye asked in confusion.
There was no one around at the moment, and Chen Jianye felt embarrassed to call Ran Dinghong "Dad".
It’s much easier to call him father-in-law.
"Silly boy, the fact that I can come to Ran's house proves that I have a good chat with him."
"If he doesn't agree, can you invite me to come to Ran's house?"
Mei Yubo pointed out with a smile.
Chen Jianye suddenly realized.
"I came here mainly to discuss the rules of your marriage."
"The Ran family thinks highly of you and didn't ask for anything too troublesome. Everything will be easy for you."
Mei Yubo said again.
"Uncle, to be honest, I don't understand what you and my father-in-law are talking about."
Chen Jianye was still puzzled.
"We definitely can't just talk about how much betrothal gifts the Chen family gave to the Ran family, and how much dowry the Ran family is going to give to the girl. It would be meaningless to just talk about it."
"You have to have a way of speaking."
Mei Yubo smiled complacently.
He has a lot of experience with this kind of topic.
If it were an ordinary person, without a certain level of cultural knowledge, it would be impossible to discuss these things with Ran Dinghong.
"So what did you two discuss? What should I do?"
Chen Jianye asked the question that concerned him most.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know the process, just ask your cousin to copy the results.
