Chapter 373 Old Neighbor Comes to Visit

When he returned to the Ran family, Chen Jianye walked in with a smile on his face.

"Is the matter done?"

Ran Qiuye came over.

"Well, it's done. It went pretty smoothly."

Chen Jianye nodded slightly.

Ran Qiuye didn't ask what it was. The master had something to do outside, so he could just say whatever he wanted to say. There was no need to ask.

"I told my mom that I was pregnant."

Ran Qiuye whispered.

"It's good to say it, it should be said."

"What did Mom say?"

Chen Jianye asked.

"Mom is happy, and Dad knows it too."

Ran Qiuye said a little shyly.

"What are you two whispering about?"

"Come and talk."

Ran Dinghong greeted.

The two sat back on the sofa.

"Don't you need to help mom in the kitchen to cook?"

Chen Jianye asked in a low voice.

"Mom doesn't let me go to the kitchen because she says there's a lot of smoke."

Ran Qiuye's mouth curled up.

Now she is a distinguished pregnant woman and enjoys the best treatment.

"The fumes are not good for pregnant women, Jianye, you should smoke less at home."

“It’s good for kids and adults.”

Ran Dinghong said.

"Dad, Jianye doesn't usually smoke at home. He only smokes a few cigarettes when he's with you."

Ran Qiuye helped.

"Haha, that's good, that's good."

"By the way, Jianye, I've seen the two projects you worked on at the company. They were very successful."

"If the project is successful, you will be the most outstanding person in the steel mill this year. You may even be eligible for the title of the most outstanding person in the city or the whole country."

Ran Dinghong said excitedly.

"I haven't thought that far ahead. At this stage, I just need to do my job well."

Chen Jianye said calmly.

"Good, not arrogant or impatient, a person who can accomplish great things."

"Before, I was thinking of using my connections to transfer you to the technical office, but now I see that I am no longer needed."

"You're better than I expected."

Ran Dinghong praised it highly.

"Dad, is Jianye that powerful?"

"It is such a great honor to be the first among the 49 cities."

Ran Qiuye asked in confusion.

As for becoming a national advanced figure, she didn't even dare to think about it.

"The contribution made by Jianye may be greater than I expected. It is not an exaggeration to say that it brings honor to our family."

"You will know when Jianye attends the commendation meeting at the end of the year."

Ran Dinghong said with a smile.

Ran Qiuye looked at Chen Jianye, as if asking: "Is what Dad said true?"

"Other units also have technical experts, and the research and development improvements they have made are no worse than mine."

"I will be satisfied if I can get the advanced steel mill."

Chen Jianye said modestly.

"Well, it's already quite impressive to get the advanced certificate of the steel rolling mill."

“I knew my vision was right.”

Ran Qiuye said proudly.

Chen Jianye smiled.

Ran Dinghong also asked about Chen Jianye's interpersonal relationship management in the unit and gave some of his own suggestions.

Chen Jianye rose too fast and was not in the same system as Ran Dinghong. Now Ran Dinghong's connections were of very limited help to Chen Jianye.

I can only give Chen Jianye some of my past experiences.

The father-in-law and son-in-law were chatting.

Ran Qiuye looked at Ran Dinghong, then at Chen Jianye, her eyes sparkling.

I'm glad that I found the right person.

"time to eat."

"Jianye, I heard from Lao Ran that you have made great achievements in the company and the leaders appreciate you very much."

"You need to eat more to replenish your body."

Lu Qiang brought the dishes to the table with a smile on her face.

"Thank you, Mom."

Chen Jianye stood up.

"Let Lao Ran have a drink with you today. It's not easy for you. You have two projects at such a young age."

"Qiuye is pregnant again now, so you have to take care of her too."

"Can you two get busy? Do you want me to help?"

Lu Qiang said happily.

"Mom, I'm just pregnant, not incapable of moving. Jianye doesn't need to take care of me."

Ran Qiuye said unconvinced.

"That's because your belly isn't big yet. When your belly gets so big that it's hard for you to walk, you'll need someone to take care of you."

"You, it's not the right time to say hard words now."

Lu Qiang criticized with a smile.

"Mom, if you come to my place, we will definitely be happy, but what about our dad?"

"And can you put aside your work now?"

Chen Jianye did not refuse directly, in order to avoid making Lu Qiang feel redundant.

"Why don't your father just leave him alone? Will he starve himself to death?"

"It's nothing about work. I'll apply for early retirement and my boss will definitely approve it."

Lu Qiang was very excited.

It is definitely not a spur-of-the-moment thought.

She has long wanted to have a grandson.

Although the child born by the girl is a grandson, the Chen family has no relatives or elders. In Lu Qiang's heart, Ran Qiuye's child is her own grandson.

"Nonsense."

"The couple is living well, why are you causing trouble?"

Ran Dinghong poured himself a glass of wine and criticized.

"How can I be causing trouble? I'll cook for them, wash their clothes, and do a lot of housework."

Lu Qiang said unhappily.

"Mom, Dad is worried that if you go to our place, there will be no one to take care of him."

Ran Qiuye said with a smile.

"Humph, I have served him all my life. My daughter is pregnant. Shouldn't I serve her?"

Lu Qiang said unhappily.

Chen Jianye said nothing.

How the Ran family quarrels is their own business.

After the quarrel, we are still a family.

He is a son-in-law with the surname Chen, and he can occasionally smooth things over and say nice things.

When it comes to more pointed questions, he keeps his mouth shut.

"Okay, let's put this aside for now. There's a lot of time to go."

"Come on, Jianye, I'll toast you a glass of wine."

"You have achieved better results than I have. The country will surely prosper in the future because of young talents like you."

Ran Dinghong interrupted the topic and in order to stop Lu Qiang from continuing to speak, he simply raised his glass.

"Dad, you're too kind. I still have a lot to learn from you."

Chen Jianye stood up and picked up the wine glass.

"Sit down and talk. There's no need for that between us, the father-in-law and the son-in-law."

Ran Dinghong took a sip of wine.

The man drank, and Lu Qiang didn't want to continue arguing, so she pulled Ran Qiuye aside to talk.

The lunch was delicious.

The two of them drank up a bottle of Fenjiu.

Ran Dinghong stopped drinking in time.

After drinking, the father-in-law and son-in-law sat on the sofa and continued their conversation.

Before, we talked about work and life, and after drinking, we talked about national policies and development directions.

"Hey, Old Ran, your daughter and son-in-law are here?"

The neighbors next door came to visit.

"Oh, Old Yang, yes, my daughter and son-in-law are here."

"It's not good to be so close to me. He comes to ask for money every now and then, and I have to treat him with good wine and good food."

Ran Dinghong only said some Versailles words.

When people get old, both their physical and material needs decrease. What they hope for is to have children and two big fat grandchildren around so that they can enjoy the joy of life with their grandchildren.

Before, Ran Dinghong and Lu Qiang had only one daughter, and people were bound to gossip that once Ran Qiuye got married, the two old people would be left alone.

It was impossible to say that Ran Dinghong and Lu Qiang were not angry.

Now, Ran Qiuye is marrying nearby, and the man’s family doesn’t have parents yet. Although she is marrying a girl, she is actually marrying a son.

Ran Dinghong feels confident when talking to his colleagues and friends.

The girl and her son-in-law are back, and when they meet the neighbors visiting, they have to pretend to be nice.
