Chapter 194: A Friend in Need



Tomb sweeping has different customs in different places.

In some places, tomb sweeping is very simple. You can just bring some fruits, flowers, gold and silver, incense, paper, candles, etc. In many places, there are no mountains at all, and the graves are all in the fields, so there is no need to weed or anything.

But it is different in Bailiang County. The graves are all on the mountain, and nine out of ten are earthen graves. They are worshipped once a year, and it is no joke that the grass on the graves is three feet high.

Clearing the weeds around the graves is really physical work, especially those graves with overgrown weeds. It would take a person who is used to doing farm work an hour or two to clean them up.

If several people work together, the time can indeed be shortened, but cleaning a grave and adding the time for worship will generally take half an hour to an hour.

Every household basically has a dozen to twenty family graves, and it is definitely impossible to handle them all in one day. For example, Jiang Feng's family spends two days every year to clear the mountain.

In previous years, Jiang Feng didn't work very hard when clearing the mountain. It wasn't because he didn't respect his ancestors, but he felt there was no need to make himself so tired. As long as the intention was there, it was enough.

But this year Jiang Feng seemed like a different person. He worked very hard. He used a machete to clear a path, his hands were blistered from cutting. He also cleared the weeds, added new soil to the grave, hung paper, burned incense, etc.

After two days of hard work, Jiang Feng was exhausted, which made his father and mother feel distressed. They didn't understand why their youngest son, who used to work without putting in any effort in shoveling the mountain, suddenly became so diligent and active.

After returning to the provincial capital, Jiang Feng called Bai Zian.

After the call was connected and the two greeted each other, Jiang Feng asked, "Professor Bai, I went back to my hometown to visit the ancestors these two days. I feel that I am not strong enough. I want to find a place to exercise. Do you have any good recommendations?"

Bai Zian smiled and said, "Master Jiang, this is really a coincidence. I am also exercising. I will arrange it for you. Come to XX Fitness Club at 8 o'clock in the evening and we will exercise together."

Jiang Feng laughed and said, "Professor Bai, it seems that you have been greatly stimulated by Instructor Qiao!"

Bai Zian laughed and said, "I can't help it. With her abnormal physical strength, if I don't exercise quickly, I really won't be able to handle her when we are together!"

"Haha, Professor Bai, don't blame me for discouraging you. No matter how much you train, I'm afraid you won't be able to compare with Instructor Qiao in terms of physical strength."

"I know this too. I don't need to catch up with her physically, but I can't be too bad. Otherwise, I will just have to lie flat on my back and won't have a chance to turn things around!"

"That's true. Then practice hard and we'll see you in the evening."

"Well, see you tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

A residential area in Xixiangtang.

Hu Wenhua was discussing the plot of the novel with his wife Wu Yuting. Although his wife was a scumbag when she wrote her own books, she was not completely useless. When it came to describing women's psychology, he couldn't even catch up with her.

After discovering this strength of his wife, Hu Wenhua often discussed the plots of the book with her, which enabled him to become better and better at writing about women. The performance of the book also got better and better. The current average subscription has reached 15,000, and the monthly royalties have exceeded 100,000. It is really a sweet reward after all the hard work.

Now, the couple lives in the community that Hu Wenhua bought with the down payment last year.

"Wife, the hero now has endless money. As for the new heroine, he has no intention of pursuing her. He just wants to spend money on her in the shortest possible time until she is willing to have children for him. During this process, you should think carefully about the psychological changes of the new heroine. It must be reasonable." Hu Wenhua said.

Wu Yuting asked: "Husband, are you going to spend money on this the first time we meet?"

Hu Wenhua nodded and said, "Yes, the male protagonist was attracted to her the first time he saw her. He knew that the capital chain of the new female protagonist's family's company was broken and they urgently needed a sum of money to tide over the current crisis. The male protagonist took advantage of the situation and spent money to support the new female protagonist."

Wu Yuting suddenly realized, "Honey, I understand. It's about describing the psychological transformation of the new heroine who was initially unwilling to be kept, but finally had to give in for the sake of her family's company, right?"

Hu Wenhua smiled and praised: "Wife, you are so smart. This is the psychological change I want."

Wu Yuting said enthusiastically: "No problem, leave it to me."

Hu Wenhua smiled and said, "Then think about it carefully. I'm going to go write."

Wu Yuting waved her hand, "Go ahead!"

Hu Wenhua entered the study, turned on his computer and prepared to work. As a result, his QQ, which he had logged into all year round, suddenly beeped. When he clicked on it, he saw that it was an author friend who was messaging him privately.

A flash in the pan: "Wenhua Ju, are you there?"

This short-lived celebrity was a great author on Qidian.com, who debuted at the same time as Hu Wenhua. At the time, both of them were rookies, but they encouraged each other, survived together, and got through the difficult novice period.

Later, Shunhua's writing became better and better, and in three or four years he became a god-level author. Hu Wenhua published one book after another, and although he also made some progress, his best results were only excellent ones. It was not until this book that he broke out and became an author with tens of thousands of subscriptions.

The two are friends in need, so their relationship is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary authors.

Shi Yun Wenhua: "Yes, I'm getting ready to work!"

Ephemeral: "Then we can talk after you finish your work."

Shi Yun Wenhua: "I still have a few chapters saved, it's okay to write them later, just let me know if you have anything to say."

"Before we talk about anything, I want to ask you a question. How is your married life going?"

Shi Yun Wen Hua: "I am living a good life. I have really found the right person."

Short-lived: "It seems that your reader matchmaker is really amazing!"

Shi Yun Wenhua: "It's amazing. When Master Jiang left a message in my book, I was still hesitant about whether to believe it! Fortunately, I chose to believe it in the end, otherwise I would still be a single dog now, how could I live such a happy life!"

Flash of a flower: "You are indeed lucky, unlike me... Alas..."

Shi Yun Wenhua: "What happened? Did you have a fight with your sister-in-law?"

A flash in the pan: "I divorced her last year!"

Shi Yun Wenhua: "Hiss...you got divorced last year? Damn, why haven't I seen you mention this?"

The short-lived beauty said: "It's not a good thing, what's there to mention."

Shi Yun Wenhua: "So, you want to contact Master Jiang and ask him to be a matchmaker for you?"

Short-lived: "Well, I have this plan, I hope you can help introduce it."

Shi Yun Wenhua: "No problem, prepare your basic information first, I will call Master Jiang right away."

A flash in the pan: "Then thank you for your help!"

Shi Yun Wenhua: "Why are you being so polite to me? Let's talk again!"

A flash in the pan: "Yeah!"

Hu Wenhua took out his cell phone and called Master Jiang directly.

After the call was connected, the two parties greeted each other, and Hu Wenhua said, "Master Jiang, this is the case. An author friend of mine got divorced last year, and now he wants to find a new partner. I hope you can help to be a matchmaker. Is that possible?"

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem. Just ask him to contact me!"

"Okay, I'll let him call you then."

After that, the two exchanged a few polite words and then hung up the phone.

Dating agency.

Just a few minutes after Jiang Feng hung up the phone with Hu Wenhua, a strange phone call came in.

As soon as the call was connected, the other party greeted, "Hello, Master Jiang, I am an author friend of Shiyun Wenhua, and my author's name is Tanhua Yixian."

Jiang Feng greeted him, "I was wondering who it was, it turns out to be the great writer Tanhua. I've read your book 'Advertising Spaces for Rent Again^_^', it's very well written, with rich imagination, it's a rare good book."

Tanhua Yixian said in surprise: "It turns out that Master Jiang has read my novel. What an honor!"

Next, the two exchanged some pleasantries.

Jiang Feng didn't get to the point until they were almost done talking, "Master Tanhua, I heard from Master Wenhua that you got divorced last year. Do you want me to help you find a marriage partner?"

The short-lived flower replied, “Yes.”

Jiang Feng said: "Then please briefly introduce yourself!"

"My real name is Wu Wenbin. I'm from Shandong Province. I'm 33 years old this year. I'm 1.83 meters tall and weigh 183 kilograms. I graduated from XX University. I have a daughter who is almost three years old. My current annual income is about two million."

Jiang Feng asked: "Can you tell me why you and your ex-wife divorced?"

Wu Wenbin sighed: "I have summarized it myself, there should be three reasons:

First, there was no emotional foundation. She and I met through a mutual friend. I was not young anymore at that time. She was pretty and we got along for about a month. I felt we were pretty good, so I chose to marry her.

Second, we have no common language. She is not interested in the things I like, and I am not interested in the things she likes. Normally, we can hardly talk to each other.

Third, their personalities are incompatible, and conflicts and disputes often arise over trivial matters, and their consumption concepts are also different.

In short, my choice to marry her was a mistake in itself."

Jiang Feng asked: "What do you want from your significant other?"

Wu Wenbin said: "Well, men all like young, pretty and well-built women, and I am no exception. It would also be best if we have a common language and similar values."

"Okay, I have a rough idea of ​​what's going on. Tell me more about your life."

“My life is very monotonous…”

The two of them talked on the phone for more than forty minutes.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Wenbin added Jiang Feng on WeChat and sent him his latest photos of his life.

Jiang Feng replied with an OK expression and started searching for a match for Wu Wenbin.

Suddenly, an invisible wave swept out, instantly covering more than 20 million people. Female avatars kept flashing by, and finally locked onto one of them:

[Name] Gu Nannan

Age: 22

【Height】166cm

【Weight】47kg

【Family Background】……

【Personality and Hobbies】……

[Relationship experience]...

[Current marriage matching value] 78 (marital relationship 78 + family matching 78 + family relationship 78)

[Ultimate marriage matching value] 86 (marital relationship 88 + family matching 84 + family relationship 86)

After reading the information of this Gu Nannan, Jiang Feng couldn't help but sigh that these two people have a deep connection. It turned out that Gu Nannan was just a flash-in-the-pan fan. This couldn't be more of a coincidence!

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Gu Nannan packed up the documents and left work on time.

Gu Nannan is a senior student, currently interning at XX Company. Unlike those medical majors who are exhausted every day, she studies the more relaxed accounting major and can go to get off work and leave on time.

After going downstairs, Gu Nannan prepared to go straight back to school.

Although she has been interning for several months, she still chooses to eat and live in school, because it is much cheaper than eating and living outside. Her family is not well off, so she saves every penny.

Just as she was about to scan a shared electric bike to go back to school, a voice came from behind her, "Hello, are you Gu Nannan?"

Gu Nannan looked back and saw that the person asking the question was a strange handsome young man. She nodded and said, "I'm Gu Nannan, who are you and what can I do for you?"

The handsome young man smiled and said, "My name is Jiang Feng. I'm a professional matchmaker. I came here uninvited to introduce you to someone. I wonder if you, classmate Gu, would be so kind as to have dinner with me?"

Gu Nannan was moved when she heard this and asked, "Are you the Master Jiang who acted as a matchmaker for the famous star Xiao Min?"

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "That's indeed me. I didn't expect that you, Gu, would also pay attention to this matter."

Gu Nannan said with a little excitement: "After all, Xiao Min is a famous star in our provincial capital. Many of my classmates are her fans. Of course I know about such a big thing as her marriage, and I also paid attention to it."

Jiang Feng understood and said, "I see. There is a Hunan restaurant up ahead. How about we go there and eat while chatting?"

Gu Nannan smiled and said, "Master Jiang, you are now a big internet celebrity. It is my honor to have dinner with you."

"Thank you for the compliment, classmate Gu. Please get in the car."

"OK, thanks!"

Five minutes later.

In a small private room of a Hunan restaurant, Jiang Feng and Gu Nannan sat opposite each other.

"Student Gu, what would you like to eat?" Jiang Feng handed her the menu.

Gu Nannan waved her hand and said, "Master Jiang, you can make the decision. I'm not picky about food, so anything is fine with me."

Jiang Feng had seen her matching information, so he naturally knew what dishes she liked to eat. He didn't waste time here and directly ordered several dishes that both of them liked, such as chopped pepper fish head, Mao's braised pork, and Xiangxi grandma's dishes.

After the waiter left the room, Jiang Feng unpacked the two sets of tableware and, while washing the dishes with tea, asked, "Student Gu, are you interning at XX Company now?"

Gu Nannan nodded and said, "Yes, I have been interning for several months!"

Jiang Feng said: "I heard that you studied accounting. Internship in this major should be quite easy!"

"It's quite easy, and the seniors in the company are very caring towards me."

At this point, Gu Nannan lost her patience and asked, "Master Jiang, you said before that you would introduce me to someone?"

Jiang Feng washed the dishes and poured her a cup of tea before saying, "Yes, before introducing him, I would like to ask classmate Gu if you know any online novels?"
