Sijun found it incredible. Why did his mother say that Manxian was arrogant? Although there were only two tables and more than 20 people at the engagement banquet today, the scene was still very lively and everyone was eating happily.

In particular, his parents had a very enjoyable chat with Manxian's father. They talked for more than an hour, all about interesting stories in the government unit.

He looked at his mother's angry eyes but didn't dare to ask any questions. He just stood there blankly, waiting for his mother to tell him the reason herself.

Sure enough, after a while of complaining, his mother told the reason: "When we left, she clearly saw us leaving the house, but she didn't come to see us off! This girl is really uneducated!"

Sijun's father also said: "Yes! We are the elders. No matter how busy she is, she should come and see us out. It seems that this girl's character is really not good enough."

The two of them were talking about Manxian's faults one after another, and Sijun felt very uncomfortable after hearing them.

After a lot of effort, the two of them finally calmed down and prepared for their nap.

Sijun went to his grandmother's room to see her.

He still had the engagement ring on his hand, and he really wanted to let his grandmother see it.

The old lady had been looking forward to it for a long time and finally waited for the moment when Sijun got engaged, but she had been lying in bed in a semi-comatose state for a long time and could no longer turn over on her own.

Sijun felt very uncomfortable.

......

Man Xian finished dealing with all the matters in the hotel and finally breathed a sigh of relief. A big thing was finally accomplished. She urged her mother to pack up quickly and go home for a nap. She felt very sleepy.

Man Xian slept very soundly during this nap. For a girl, it is a very happy thing to be able to marry the boy she likes.

She slept until 5:30 in the afternoon. When she woke up, she smelled a burst of fragrance. It turned out that her mother was cooking in the kitchen.

She likes the taste of her mother's cooking. When she is away from home for a long time, being able to go home and eat the food her mother cooks is a luxury and even a happiness for her.

She came to the kitchen and urged her mother to prepare the meal and put it on the table. She wanted to have dinner early as she had other things to do in the evening.

She wanted to meet her fiancé, so she quickly sent a WeChat message to Sijun: If you are free in the evening, let’s go for a walk!

Sijun was still sleeping soundly in bed. When he woke up, it was almost dark.

Only then did he see Man Xian’s message and quickly replied with one word: OK!

So he hurried to the kitchen to serve himself some food.

Seeing that he looked nervous, his mother asked him what was wrong.

"Manxian asked me to go for a walk in the evening, so I have to eat quickly."

His mother said, "Just take a walk. Don't be so anxious. Take it easy! Don't choke yourself!"

Sijun nodded and began to eat voraciously.

After dinner, Sijun cleaned himself up and went out. He took the bus to the neighborhood where Manxian lived.

Man Xian was wearing a pink down jacket, black cotton pants, black boots, and her black hair was tied with a purple bow.

When Sijun saw Manxian's long hair fluttering in the wind, he was more intoxicated by her beauty than any fine wine.

"You're here!" Man Xian said with a smile. The lipstick on her lips sparkled under the night light, making her look gorgeous.

Sijun held Manxian's hand and said, "It's quite cold tonight. Look at your hands, they are so cold."

Man Xian leaned against Si Jun as they walked, their fingers intertwined.

"There's nothing to do at home, so why not come out and take a walk with you?" Man Xian said.

Walking to a corner of the community, Sijun said, "Well... New Year's Eve is half a month away. I want to invite you to our house for a New Year's Eve dinner. Is that okay?"

Man Xian shook her head: "It's not appropriate. We haven't officially become husband and wife yet."

"But we are already engaged. It is only a matter of time before we become husband and wife."

"Sooner or later? Sooner or later?"

Sijun was confused, he said: "I... of course I hope it's too early. We are engaged and will be officially married soon. Our whole family hopes you will come. Especially my grandfather and grandmother. My grandmother is in a deep sleep and coma most of the time now. In her condition, I'm afraid she won't have much time... She hopes every day that I can find a wife for her to see."

"Didn't I go to your house last Dragon Boat Festival and meet your grandparents? Besides, I know there are people in your family who don't like me, so I won't go over and embarrass myself."

"Are you talking about my parents? They don't really dislike you. It's just that there were some misunderstandings about the betrothal gift before..."

"Is it just a misunderstanding? They don't like a wild country girl like me, right? They like well-educated and well-mannered ladies. I really don't understand why they don't find a girl for their son based on the template they like, but have to find a wild country girl like me who has no manners and no education in their eyes."

"They don't ask for much, just a little sweet talk and some respect, nothing else matters."

"All the so-called few requirements are actually requirements for everything. Sweet talk? How sweet should it be? Respect? What does respect mean? I am a straightforward person, and I don't understand the rules of those government agencies."

Sijun touched his forehead, feeling upset. He said, "So, are you not going to come over for the New Year's Eve dinner?"

"You haven't given enough betrothal gifts, which means I can't completely become a member of your family yet. It's really not appropriate for me to go."

"Didn't you give half of it as your aunt asked? It has been transferred to your mother's account this afternoon."

"That's good, that means only half of me belongs to your family, the other half doesn't belong to you yet. In that case, it's really not appropriate for me to go there."

"But! That's what your aunt said. She's our matchmaker, and she said she's already communicated with your family!"

"Yes, I didn't say it right. But what I said was not wrong either! Judging from your attitude, only half of me belongs to you. If that's the case, I can choose to celebrate the New Year at home. Is that wrong?!"

Sijun helplessly hit his head hard. He was anxious and angry and couldn't speak.

"Manxian! This is what your aunt, the matchmaker, told my parents, and we strictly followed the matchmaker's instructions. But what you mean is that you will only be willing to come to our house for the New Year if I give you all the 16 yuan, right?"

"I don't want to say much. I just want to say that, at the moment, only half of me belongs to you. It's that simple!"
