After hearing what his mother said, Sijun said firmly: "Okay! Okay! I got it! I'll call her right away and ask her to go!"

Sijun's mother looked at her son with satisfaction. She was happy with her son's firm attitude this time.

Sijun called Manxian and Manxian picked up the phone.

"Manxian, come and celebrate the festival with us. After all... this is the first time... the first time we celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival, and also the National Day. It's rare to have two festivals together, and... my cousin is also very welcoming, I hope you can come over and have a meal with us."

"......" Manxian didn't know what to say. She really wanted to have a Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner with her family at home.

"I'll be there later." That was all Man Xian could say.

"Okay, I'll wait for you, and then we'll go together."

Sijun's mother immediately winked at Sijun.

Sijun didn't understand what his mother meant.

After hanging up the phone, Sijun's mother shook her head and said, "You...! You just agree to whatever they say! If you want to go, you should go earlier. She arrived when they were halfway through their meal. How can that be? It's not in accordance with etiquette.

You have to remember that when you go to someone's house for dinner, you can't be late or arrive on time. You should arrive a little early, chat with the host, and then start eating. You must be clear about these etiquettes!

This girl is really indecisive. She always seems to leave a grudge for others in everything she does! It makes people feel very uncomfortable!"

Sijun said, "She may also like the food at home and want to eat some first before going to her cousin's house."

"That's why it's not possible! I just said that this is very rude to the host! She likes home-cooked meals, I have no objection and I can understand. But also look at what day it is today! If you like staying at home, you can go back tomorrow! Why do you have to choose such an important time period as tonight?

You call her right away and ask her to come over earlier. Just tell her... um... tell her that your cousin's family doesn't like us to go too late and that we should go early. She hasn't been to your cousin's house before, so she doesn't want to leave a bad impression on people the first time she goes there. Just tell her that!"

Sijun was extremely upset, but since his mother had said that, he had no choice but to take out his cell phone and reluctantly called Manxian again.

Sitting at the dining table at home, her mother knew that her daughter would definitely be invited to a reunion dinner with her husband's family tonight, so she went to the kitchen early and prepared a few delicious dishes for her daughter to eat first.

Manxian was eating the food her mother had made when her cell phone rang again. She didn't need to look at the caller ID to know it must be Sijun calling again.

She picked up the phone again in annoyance.

Sijun, on the other end of the phone, hesitantly repeated what his mother had just said and her opinions.

Man Xian didn't want to say anything more. She knew it was useless to say anything more, so she promised Sijun to go out immediately, meet him at Sijun's house first, and then go to her cousin's house to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival together.

Man Xian ate a few more bites of food, put on her clothes and set off immediately.

Before leaving, her mother took some things and asked Manxian to take them to Sijun's family.

Time passed by minute by minute. Sijun's mother felt that it was too late and it would be impolite if she didn't go, so she simply left first and let Sijun wait for Manxian at home.

Sijun waited and waited, and finally saw Manxian.

Manxian put the things her mother brought in the kitchen, and then set off with Sijun.

What Sijun didn't expect was that this time was the evening rush hour, and this peak was even more severe than usual, but he couldn't even call a Didi.

Man Xian also took out her own cell phone to make a call, to see if it would be more efficient if two people called together.

In this way, the two people stood by the road and waited for a full hour, and finally a bus arrived for Man Xian's phone.

By the time the two arrived, their cousin's family, Sijun's parents, and grandfather had already been eating for a while, which meant that they were still late.

Sijun's grandfather was very happy to see Manxian. He took the initiative to approach Manxian and chat with her, asking her about her health and whether the pregnancy was difficult for her.

This was the only thing that made Man Xian feel warm.

Throughout the entire meal, Man Xian felt like she couldn't relax at all and really wanted it to be over quickly.

Fortunately, it was over in the end, and she, Sijun and Sijun's mother returned home.

Sijun's mother still looked unhappy.

She secretly told Sijun that Manxian didn't say much the whole night, which made her feel embarrassed. She thought her cousin's family must think that Sijun's wife was so unsociable.

Sijun was already upset, and became even more upset after hearing what his mother said.

That night, Manxian and Sijun slept together, and she could feel Sijun's inner confusion.

"What's wrong with you?! If my presence only makes you angry and annoys you, I might as well have dinner at my own house tonight. Wouldn't that make both of us more comfortable?"

“Please don’t say that!!!” Sijun yelled loudly, scaring Manxian so much that she sat up immediately.

"What on earth do you want from me?!" Man Xian also became angry and started to speak loudly.

"I really don't know what to say! It's just that I feel like you... don't even bother to say one more word in front of our family or our relatives... but..."

"You know me well. I really can't say anything in front of a group of people I'm not that familiar with. I need a relatively relaxed environment to have some desire to talk. But it's really too depressing in your house. This kind of environment makes me nervous. I admit that I'm a little bit worse in this aspect, but I really can't say anything in this environment.

You know what? I didn’t eat anything at night. Why? Because I was not familiar with the place and I didn’t dare to eat. So my stomach is still hungry now, you know? "Man Xian said, feeling more and more uncomfortable and painful.

"Well, you can just say something symbolically. It's not hard to talk. I noticed that you only said a few words to my grandfather tonight, and that's about it. You basically didn't talk to anyone else. Sigh... I can understand you, but it's hard for others to understand you. They will only think that you are so noble because you look down on them."

Manxian shook her head: "So, you don't understand me. I know that others think I'm aloof, arrogant, rude, uneducated, and not sweet-mouthed. But I, Zhang Manxian, have been like this since I was a child. I have my own personality and my own characteristics. None of you can put a mold on me, and if you find it doesn't fit, you can say that I'm not a good person!! I really feel very tired in your house, very tired, do you know that? Also, I'm very hungry now, do you know that?"

Sijun sighed and sat there, not knowing what to say.

Seeing Sijun like this, Manxian just lay down.

"Go to sleep!" Man Xian said softly, then closed her eyes.

Only Sijun was left sitting on the bed in a daze.
