Sijun's father said, "Yes! It's the same in our hometown! But you have to know that this is a rural bad habit! We are in the city now, and we must completely put an end to this kind of behavior that harms the world and is immoral. We must respectfully call our parents "Dad" and "Mom", instead of being like the rural people who have no manners or reason at all!"

If you think your place is better, then Sijun will follow your custom to call your parents by their names when he comes to your house. But now that you are in our house, you have to follow our custom to call them "Dad" and "Mom". This is a basic principle! Follow the custom of whoever you are in!"

"I have no objection to your habit, but please respect our habits and don't just praise yourself and belittle others!!" Man Xian said bluntly.

"When did I ever belittle you? When did I ever belittle you? I was just saying that you can't do that! You must get rid of it!"

"That's just derogatory! It's like you guys are so good and we are so bad!"

"Am I wrong?!" Sijun's father frowned and glared, "Calling your parents by their first names is already a serious offense. If it were in ancient times, it would be a serious crime!"

"So, all those relatives in your hometown should be sentenced to serious crimes. Including you. You used to live in the countryside, but later came to the city. You also called your parents by their names in the countryside. You should also be sentenced to serious crimes, right?!" Man Xian used spear to fight spear.

"Waha! Wow! You are so disrespectful and don't know the difference between the old and the young. You dare to say anything to them! It was true when we were in the countryside and we called our parents by their names, but now we are in the city and we have changed to normal ways! So you have to change to calling your parents normal ways too, and you can't continue the inhumane rural habits!!" Sijun's father was relentless and his voice was getting louder and louder.

Sijun's mother said, "Don't be so loud, please! You can't sleep if you make too much noise! ​​If you want to reason with someone, then say it nicely. Reason doesn't have to be loud. We should be magnanimous and tolerant to children who don't understand. Speak slowly so that they can understand these principles."

"I am not sensible!! Yes, you are sensible! You are sensible, and you use morality and ethics to criticize others, and criticize other people's customs to pieces, showing your own greatness and your own rationality! Yes, you are sensible. But I don't buy it! At least please respect our customs!!"

"What's so good about respecting your crappy customs! In the future, Duoduo will call you by your name. Are you happy about that? If you are not happy, then don't talk about respecting your customs. Such customs are vulgar and bullshit!! There is no reason for them to exist at all!" Sijun's father continued to speak firmly.

"I still say the same thing, please respect our customs! Don't use the method of suppressing others or labeling others to force others to agree with your views!"

"When did I suppress you? When did I put labels on you? I said the truth. You, a master's student, don't even understand such simple truths. I really don't understand. Did you study in vain? Wow! Such thoughts and values ​​are outrageous! Wow! Only today did I realize how terrible vulgarity is!" Sijun's father was furious.

Man Xian didn't want to say another word. She knew that Si Jun's father was a very chauvinistic man. He had to win the argument, and others had to accept his point of view.

She stood up, walked to the kitchen, threw away the remaining food, washed the dishes, then went upstairs to her room.

When Sijun's father saw this, he thought that he had defeated Manxian and ate his meal triumphantly.

After dinner, he thought about what Man Xian had just said. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, so he called Sijun.

"Son, you! Hurry up and teach your wife a lesson! She is so disrespectful to her elders! I told her tonight that she should call me and your mom, but what happened? She said a lot of nonsense, saying that they always call their parents by their first names. Isn't this treasonous and immoral?!"

Sijun said: "She may not be used to calling you, at least give her some time!"

"Give her some time? She has been in our house for more than five months!! Five months is not enough!! She is getting more and more outrageous now! She barely spoke to me, and said very few words to your mother. She didn't even address me, and just spoke directly. I have never seen such a shameless girl with no manners!!"

"Then what should I do? She is really not used to it. After all, for the past thirty years, she has called her parents by their given names. That's the custom in her hometown. Isn't that the custom in our hometown as well? If someone who has never called her own parents 'Dad' and 'Mom' calls you, she will definitely not be used to it.

Besides, Man Xian had called me that several times before."

"Haha! Haha! How hilarious!" Sijun's father sneered. "She only called me a few times! She should have called me a few times a day, not just a few times in total. Isn't it embarrassing to say it out loud?! Let me tell you! Her maternity leave will end next month. If this matter is not resolved, your mother and I will seriously consider whether to go with you to your place and help you take care of Duoduo.

Think about it carefully for yourself!! "

After saying that, Sijun’s father hung up the phone.

Sijun was extremely panicked. If his parents didn't help, and he and Manxian both had to go to work, what would happen to Duoduo? Hire a nanny? That would be worrying! There were so many cases of nannies harming children reported in the news, and Sijun had seen them every day. He would definitely be worried, and I believe Manxian would be worried too.

He had no choice but to call Man Xian and ask her what had happened tonight.

When Man Xian heard his question, she immediately became furious: "Your father is really abominable, you know that?! He always likes to label others and dares to use all kinds of words! Our custom has been around for decades, and several generations have been calling them that. I also know that the real way to call them is 'Dad' and 'Mom', but you can't insult other people's traditions and customs!"

Sijun said: "Alas! He just likes this. When he debates with others, he always denies others and makes them give up their own ideas and think that they are wrong, and then accept his ideas. He is a person who does not know how to 'seek common ground while reserving differences'."

Man Xian said, "Don't tell me this! I'm telling you! He insulted the customs of our hometown. Why should I accept your customs? Even though this custom is right, it doesn't mean our customs are wrong! There are reasons for forming such a custom! What's more, your hometown is like this too!"

Sijun said, "I know, but I just hope you can change it appropriately. I will also tell my dad not to be so arrogant and not to promote your own ideas by denying others. Do you think that's okay?"
