Eleven o'clock at night.
A residential area.
When Long Zeyu opened the door, he saw his wife Shen Rushuang lying on her back on the sofa, browsing her phone. Her face was dark, obviously she was wearing a facial mask.
He had seen this kind of scene many times and was used to it.
In the past, when he saw such a scene, he would go straight back to the bedroom to take a shower and play with his phone.
There is basically no communication between the two.
But today, Long Zeyu did not go back to the bedroom directly, but sat down on the sofa next to him.
Although the couple didn't have much affection, they had been together for several years after all, so they probably knew each other's temper. Seeing that Long Zeyu didn't go back to the bedroom directly, but came to sit next to her, Shen Rushuang knew that he had something to tell her, so she asked directly: "What do you want?"
Long Zeyu said: "I want to talk to you about something!"
Shen Rushuang said: "Just tell me what you want to say!"
Long Zeyu said: "It's not convenient to talk like this, wait until you finish applying the mask first."
Shen Rushuang said: "Then you just wait a few more minutes, it's almost time!"
Long Zeyu nodded, then took out his mobile phone and started playing the simplest Snake game.
Soon, a few minutes passed, Shen Rushuang threw away the mask, washed her face, and then sat back on the sofa.
This is a beautiful face. Her looks may not be as good as that of the big star Xiao Min, but perhaps because her background is too good, she is far superior to Xiao Min in terms of temperament.
All in all, the two can be said to be evenly matched.
After Shen Rushuang sat down, she looked at Long Zeyu and said, "If you have anything to say, you can tell me now!"
Long Zeyu put away his phone, looked at her and said, "I want to have a good talk with you about our marriage."
Shen Rushuang frowned slightly and said calmly: "What do you think?"
Long Zeyu looked straight into her eyes, "Are you willing to live like this for the rest of your life?"
Shen Rushuang didn't avoid his gaze, "What can I do if I'm unwilling? Can I still get a divorce?"
Long Zeyu retracted his gaze and shook his head, saying, "You and I both understand that divorce is impossible."
Shen Rushuang sighed, "So, what can I do if I am unwilling?"
Long Zeyu lay down on the sofa, put his hands behind his head, looked at the ceiling and said, "I remember someone said that life is like a super rapist who will never be sentenced. Many people will be raped by it. When we are raped, we often have no way to resist because we don't know when and where we will be defiled by it.
Since I can't resist, I might as well enjoy the process."
Shen Rushuang frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Long Zeyu lowered his gaze and looked at her and said, "You also understand the meaning of our marriage. If nothing unexpected happens, we are destined to be tied together in this life. Living under the same roof, it would be too torturous if we were strangers. I want to improve this relationship. I wonder if you are willing to cooperate?"
Shen Rushuang said calmly: "You and I have even given birth to a child, how else do you want me to cooperate?"
To be honest, she also hated her current life, and she also wanted to live a good life with her partner, but feelings were something that could not be forced. Just like eating houttuynia, even if people who liked it praised it to the sky, she still couldn't accept the strong fishy smell.
Long Zeyu said: “I made a new friend some time ago. He is a professional matchmaker who is good at predicting marriages and mediating marriages. He is a master with real skills.
He told me personally that there is a way to improve our relationship. Would you like to give it a try? "
Shen Rushuang asked seriously, "Are you sure that the other party is a real master and not a swindler?"
Long Zeyu said confidently: "In Guangxi Province, I think few people dare to lie to me in person, not to mention that I have witnessed his magical ability in predicting marriages with my own eyes. He is indeed a man of real ability."
Shen Rushuang asked: "How do you need my cooperation?"
Long Zeyu said: "I will invite him to my house for lunch tomorrow at noon, and then you and I will just follow his instructions."
Shen Rushuang nodded and said, "Okay, no problem for me!"
"Remember to ask Aunt Wang to cook a few of her signature dishes to entertain the guests tomorrow."
"Okay, got it!"
…
The next day.
After breakfast, Jiang Feng began to wonder what gift he should bring when visiting Long Zeyu's home.
There is no need to spend a lot of money on gifts, but buying regular fruits seems a bit lacking. After much thought, it might be more appropriate to get some rare local specialties.
So Jiang Feng drove to the rural areas around the provincial capital, and finally found what he needed to buy - sweet potatoes - at a farmer's house in Shibu.
Sweet potatoes are rich in protein and trace elements, and are high in fiber, which can effectively accelerate digestion and absorption, and are good for cleaning the stomach and intestines. They have the effects of strengthening the spleen and stopping diarrhea, detoxifying and healing sores, benefiting the lungs and relieving coughs, calming the mind and relieving restlessness, and nourishing the kidneys and benefiting the essence.
Unfortunately, the production of such local specialties in Guangxi Province is not high and they are rarely sold in the market.
The big potato that Jiang Feng bought weighs about 20 to 30 kilograms. It is a very rare and good commodity, perfect for giving as a gift.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Feng turned on the navigation and drove towards Long Zeyu's house.
At about half past eleven, Jiang Feng arrived at Long Zeyu's house.
When the door opened, Jiang Feng handed over the potato and said hello, "Brother Long!"
"Master Jiang, it would be enough if you just showed up. Why are you being so polite and bringing things?"
As he spoke, Long Zeyu reached out to take the heavy bag and handed Jiang Feng a pair of disposable slippers.
Jiang Feng took the shoes and said with a smile: "It's not something expensive, just a little local specialty."
At this time, Long Zeyu had also seen clearly what was in the bag, and asked in surprise: "Master Jiang, what is this? Why is it so big!"
Jiang Feng changed his shoes and replied, "This is Dashu, hasn't Brother Long seen it?"
Long Zeyu suddenly realized: "Oh, so this is the big potato. I have eaten it before and it tastes very good, but I have never seen what it looks like. Today is the first time I have seen it. I didn't expect it to grow so big."
At this time, Long Zeyu's wife Shen Rushuang also came up and greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Master Jiang, welcome to my home."
Jiang Feng also hurriedly greeted her: "Hello, sister-in-law, sorry to bother you!"
Long Zeyu handed the big potato in his hand to his wife and said, "This is the big potato that Master Jiang brought."
Next, both sides exchanged pleasantries.
Jiang Feng had just sat down and drank a few cups of tea with Long Zeyu when the nanny Aunt Wang prepared the dishes!
After putting the dishes on the table one by one, Aunt Wang took off her apron and put it away. Then she greeted Long Zeyu and his wife respectfully and left.
"Master Jiang, what kind of wine do you drink?"
"Except for white wine, I can drink everything else, but I just can't drink much."
"Okay, let's drink some red wine today!"
