B: That sounds like fun. Let’s do it.
A: I’ll see you tomorrow then.
B: See you then. Goodbye.
What does “then” mean in these two sentences?
Thank you

They have two different meanings.
A: I’ll see you tomorrow then.
This is an if-then statement. Or maybe “in that case”.
If we take the train, then we will get there by 8:30.
If it is sunny, then we will go to the park.
“Let’s do it.”
If we agree to do “it”, then I’ll see you tomorrow.
or
Because we agreed to do “it”, then I will see you tomorrow.
B: See you then. Goodbye.
This refers to the time (tomorrow).
This use of “then” will always refer to a previously mentioned time.
A: Dinner will be ready by 6:00.
B: I should be home by then.

This is actually very good, NN, compared to the load of codswallop I had to stumock from you yesterday. You’re making progress. Absolutely magnificent. Where did you learn this?
It’s probably none of my business, but anyway, were you drunk?
Oh, you’re sad, how incosiderate of me, I should have known better.
But you know what I always say: 'Just get up with a smile in the morning and go to bed with a smile (on your arse) at night’. 
It’s a song, I wrote it myself.
I’d love to give you the complete text or lyrics, but you have to admit, it sounds great, don’t you think?
