However, Linna was still dissatisfied and said in a disgusted voice: "Don't you think this is very impolite? Why do you people here pay so little attention to etiquette? Don't you even have banquet etiquette?"
"The culture is different." Xue Huan whispered: "Besides, this is not a banquet, but a gathering between relatives. When your family gathers for dinner, you should also laugh and talk, right?"
"It's different." Lina muttered: "Can you go? I'm going for a walk, and I'm going to eat Western food later."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, but don't leave in a hurry." Xue Huan whispered: "My dad was having a nice chat with my uncle, and we just sat down. We can't leave in such a hurry. It's too rude."
Linna asked back: "How is this impolite? When we are having a banquet, if we feel that we can't continue the conversation, can we just say 'Excuse me' and walk away?"
Xue Huan whispered: "Don't be like this. I haven't seen my uncle and cousin for a long time. I have to chat with them about what's going on. And my third uncle will be here soon. My job is to help him introduce me.
Yes. Now that my job has stabilized, I have to say thank you in person."
"You always have a reason, you always have an excuse." Linna became unhappy, "I came with you because I was afraid that you would neglect me and our love would be gone. But I traveled thousands of miles to come here with you.
, I am incompatible with this place, but you are inconsiderate of me and always refute my suggestions."
"Don't be like this." Xue Huan soothed: "I know it's not easy for you, I know you are wronged. Okay, just be patient for another half hour. If the third uncle doesn't come, then we will go out to play. I heard there is a temple fair today, I
I’ll go over with you to play later.”
"Yeah." Lina nodded dullly.
Little Yangyang was still young and lacked energy. After being held by her uncle for a while, she quickly became sleepy and closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Xue Ling came forward and said warmly: "Uncle, I will take him back to the room to sleep."
"Okay." Xue Zhilan smiled lovingly: "The little guy is so cute, I can't bear to give it back."
Father Xue laughed and said, "When Ah Huan and his wife give birth to a fat grandson for you next year, you will have your own grandson to hold him every day."
Xue Zhilan couldn't help but look at his son and his foreign wife, and said warmly: "When his mother comes here next month, we will discuss it together. If it's suitable, we can get them married by the end of the year. This girl has traveled thousands of miles to come with him, so she has to
Hurry up and give them a title and let them form a family first."
"That's right." Xue's father said, "We have to hurry up and do this. A major event in life is to start a family and start a career. Now that we have a career, we can also start a family."
Linna noticed their gazes and couldn't help asking: "What are they talking about? Why are they talking about me in person? It's so rude."
"No." Xue Huan explained: "My father was telling my uncle that he would help us prepare for our wedding at the end of the year."
"This is a matter between us. What does it have to do with them?" Lina frowned and said: "Our wedding is naturally our own decision. Why should they interfere."
"No, no." Xue Huan had to explain: "We all organize weddings here as families. When children get married, parents help make the decision."
"Are they all forced marriages?" Lina whispered: "I once read in the newspaper that many of your people have forced marriages. Parents just agree and their children are not allowed to object, so many people's marriages are miserable.
of."
Xue Huan smiled bitterly and whispered: "No, that is a random report. In the past, people in ancient times had inconvenient transportation, and girls did not go out at will, so there was talk about parents ordering matchmakers. This has long since changed, and most of them
People are free to fall in love. We only get married if we love each other, and generally we will consider each other's opinions."
Linna was dubious and couldn't help but look at Xue Ling, "What about your cousin?"
"I don't know about that." Xue Huan explained: "We haven't contacted each other for several years. I heard that she married far away from the south. Recently, her uncle had some minor accidents, so she brought her family here to help take care of her. She just
I gave birth to a child and am still in confinement."
"What is that? Confinement?" Linna Hu asked.
Xue Huan patiently explained: "After giving birth, a woman needs to rest at home for a month to get through this period of weakness."
"What nonsense." Lina whispered: "Who can stand being stuck at home for a month? Exercise is the most important thing, not hiding in the house and not going out. We are not like this over there. We go out after our body recovers.
"
Xue Huan chuckled: "This is the difference. People here think so and do this, and they think they are right!"
Linna glanced at Xue Ling and asked, "Is she in confinement?"
"Yes." Xue Huan explained: "The child in her arms is her second son, born more than 20 days ago."
"What about her husband?"
"I guess he went out."
Xue Huan had a headache due to the noise from his fiancée, so he came closer to Xue Ling and her son.
"Sister Lingling, what is your child's name?"
Xue Ling smiled and replied: "My name is Xue Yang."
"Ah? His last name is yours?" Xue Huan asked in surprise.
Xue Ling explained: "The first child's name is Cheng Huanran, which is my husband's surname. His last name is mine, and we all have one-character names."
"So that's it." Xue Huan smiled happily and gently touched the little guy's chubby fist with his hand, "He is chubby and so cute."
"This is Uncle Ah Huan, little uncle." Xue Ling whispered with a smile.
Xue Huan couldn't help but feel itchy, "Sister, can you let me hug you?"
"Of course." Xue Ling smiled and said, "I'll wrap the diaper up and pee on you while facing away."
Xue Huan hugged Xiao Yangyang awkwardly and stiffly, and said with a smile: "He is so soft! I don't even dare to use force."
"You don't have to use force to hold a child." Xue Ling taught him to relax his arms and let the little one nestle in his arms.
Xue Huan narrowed his eyes with a smile and said, "The child smells like milk, and his skin is tender and white. Just looking at it makes my heart warm."
"Ask your wife to give you a baby as soon as possible." Xue Ling teased, "When you become a father, you will know how troublesome it is for your child to eat, drink, breathe, and sleep every day."
Xue Huan laughed and squeezed the little guy's fist.
"So small, so cute!"
However, Lina did not dare to come forward and whispered in disgust: "I am most afraid of children. They either cry or make noises. Sometimes they want to eat, sometimes they want to drink, and they will make themselves dirty."
Xue Huan was a little unhappy and lowered his voice: "Didn't you come here like this when you were a child? You have to grow up slowly!"
"Anyway, I won't consider having children until I'm thirty." Lina frowned and said, "Having children will destroy my beautiful figure. I don't want to be so stupid."
Xue Huan did not speak to her, but gently stroked the little guy's feet with a loving smile on his face.
At this time, the sound of keys came from outside, and then the door opened!
Cheng Tianyuan was seen walking in with large and small bags, and Liu Ying was holding Xiao Ranran's hand and walking in one after another.
