On the high-speed train bound for the provincial capital of Guangxi Province, Yang Dongtai and Wang Tiantian sat side by side. They started with online novels and talked about their favorite types of novels. This common hobby made the two of them chat very speculative.

Originally, Wang Tiantian and her mother had decided to get off at the next stop and go home. After all, they had already met the person they wanted to see, so there was no need to go to Guangxi Province again.

But what they didn’t expect was that not only was the matchmaker they were going to meet on the bus, but Wang Tiantian’s match was also on the bus. Now that the two sides were chatting so happily, how could they be reluctant to get off at the next stop!

When people are in pain, time seems extremely long, and when people are happy, time becomes extremely short.

Yang Dongtai and Wang Tiantian chatted for several hours until the broadcast announced that they had arrived at Nanning Station. They then woke up as if from a dream and smiled at each other.

After just a few hours of chatting, both sides left a very good impression on each other.

"After we get off the bus, we'll go together. I'll arrange a hotel for you and your aunt, and then put your luggage away. Then we'll go out for a midnight snack together. What do you think?" Yang Dongtai asked.

Wang Tiantian did not answer but asked: "Aren't you going to your relative's house first?"

Through previous conversations, Wang Tiantian naturally knew that Yang Dongtai’s trip to Guangxi was to visit relatives, so she asked this question.

Yang Dongtai smiled and said, "You can visit relatives anytime. I'll call my aunt later and tell her I'll see her tomorrow."

Wang Tiantian smiled. Yang Dongtai's choice made her feel valued. She said happily, "Okay, I'll go back to my seat and get my luggage."

Yang Dongtai nodded and said, "Yes!"

…

Ten minutes later, Jiang Feng and others arrived at the exit.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening. Jiang Feng looked at Wang Tiantian and her daughter and Yang Dongtai and said, "It's getting late. I'm going home first. Call me if there's anything else."

"Okay, goodbye, Master Jiang!"

"Well, bye!"

…

Although it was a little late, Jiang Feng still went to the confinement center to see his wife and son first.

Huang Lingwei looked at her exhausted husband, gave him a loving kiss, and then said, "It's so late, you should go home and rest, why did you come to see us?"

Jiang Feng put his arm around his wife's waist and said with a smile, "If I don't see you and our son first after coming back from outside, I will always feel uncomfortable and I may not be able to sleep."

Huang Lingwei said with a smile: "You are the only one who has a sweet mouth."

Jiang Feng chuckled and said, "I just tasted it, your mouth is sweeter!"

Huang Lingwei spat at him, and then the couple was affectionate for a while and whispered something to each other.

After about ten minutes, Huang Lingwei said, "Okay, it's really late, go back and have a shower and go to bed!"

Jiang Feng nodded, and said reluctantly: "I feel tortured by your confinement. Fortunately, you will be out of the confinement in a few days. Then I can hug you to sleep!"

Huang Lingwei gave him a charming look and said, "You just want to hug me to sleep?"

Jiang Feng blinked his eyes and laughed, "Of course not only that, I haven't eaten seafood for a long time, and my mouth has been craving for a long time. Now I want to have a good meal."

Huang Lingwei blushed and said, "Okay, since you have been doing well recently, I will treat you to a seafood feast when I am out of the month. You can eat until you are full."

Jiang Feng laughed and said, "That's what you said. Remember to prepare more fresh abalone. It's delicious and juicy, and you'll never get tired of eating it."

“…”

The young couple chatted for a few flirty words before Jiang Feng left the confinement center and returned to Xipai Yujiang.

…

The next morning.

Jiang Feng called Wang Tiantian and Yang Dongtai separately to ask them about their opinions on their blind date candidates. Needless to say, both parties expressed that they were quite satisfied and are currently in further contact.

This was all within Jiang Feng's expectations, he was just asking a routine question.

From then on, Jiang Feng lived a life of going to and from work.

In a blink of an eye, it has been 42 days since Huang Lingwei entered the confinement center. Her confinement life can finally be declared over. She will move back home and only needs to go to the confinement center on time every day for rehabilitation training.

Originally in the rural areas of Bailiang County, if a son was born, many families would choose to hold a full-month banquet when the child is one month old.

However, those are old customs. In recent years, fewer and fewer people choose to hold full-month banquets.

The reason is very simple. Once the banquet is held, relatives and friends have to give gifts. Nowadays, many couples get married because they are pregnant. It has only been a few months since the wedding, and they are holding a full-month banquet. Many people cannot bear to "take money" from the pockets of relatives and friends.

Therefore, when Jiang Feng and his two siblings gave birth to a son, they had no intention of holding a full-month banquet.

Jiang Fei and Jiang Xue are fine, but if Jiang Feng holds a full-month banquet, it would really be a big deal. I don't know how many big shots would be alarmed. It's really unnecessary.

On the first night after Huang Lingwei moved back home, she kept her word and prepared a sumptuous seafood dinner herself. Her husband, who had not eaten seafood for a long time, had a hearty meal and ate it till he was drooling and exclaimed that it was delicious.

…

Some people say that life is like a bitter gourd. Even if it is soaked in water, offered in a temple, and put into the mouth, the bitterness remains the same. This is the essence of the bitterness of life.

Some people also say that life is like a cup of boiled water. If you add honey, it becomes sweet, and if you add salt, it becomes salty.

In fact, the pain and happiness in life all come from one’s own heart.

For example, there was an old mother whose husband died early, and she raised her two sons alone with great difficulty.

The eldest son burns charcoal and the second son sells umbrellas.

The old woman worried about her sons’ livelihoods every day. When it rained, she worried that her eldest son’s charcoal would not be sold; when it was sunny, she worried that her second son’s umbrellas would not be sold.

In this way, she lived in sorrow and anxiety every day, and finally one day she fell ill.

Later, someone enlightened the old mother: "You are so lucky. Rain or shine, your son's business is good."

After hearing this, the old lady finally turned her worry into joy.

From this short story, we can see that pain and happiness are actually manifestations of a state of mind.

For example, in reality, many people are afraid that their friends will suffer, and they are also afraid that their friends will drive a Land Rover. With this mentality, it is hard not to suffer.

Just like the popular saying on the Internet: "It hurts more to see you make money than to see me lose money!"

So if you want to live a happy life, a good attitude is the key.

If you have a good attitude, everything will be good. If you relax your mind, everything will be peaceful. A good life is not as good as a good attitude. Having a good attitude is equal to having happiness.

Treat life with a positive attitude, try to think about the good side of everything, don’t always add sorrow to yourself, and you will naturally feel happy and comfortable.

Lin Shun understood all these principles. Even before he was 25, he had no idea what pain was.

However, it was only after Lin Shun got married that he knew what pain was.

Marrying a woman with an incompatible personality makes life really hard. Lin Shun simply couldn't understand why his wife quarreled with him about trivial matters all day long.

For example, one day, he bought some cooked dishes and took them home to eat. While they were eating, his wife, with a sullen face, kept scolding him for buying a dish that had no meat and was full of bones. She also scolded him for being so stupid and not knowing that he was being cheated to death. She kept scolding him for several minutes just for this cooked dish that cost a dozen or twenty yuan.

Lin Shun really didn't understand. Even if he made a loss, wouldn't it be enough to just remind him? Was it necessary to scold him for several minutes with a stinky face?

For example, one time his wife forgot to bring her keys, and when she called him, he was busy and couldn't leave, so he couldn't go back to open the door for her immediately. As a result, he was scolded again.

There were so many things like this that Lin Shun couldn't understand why he had to change his face and scold him at every turn.

It is said that even a clay man can have some temper. Lin Shun is not a masochist. He can be scolded for no reason once or twice, but of course he can't stand it if it happens frequently.

So, quarrels are inevitable!

Only three years into their marriage, Lin Shun felt extremely exhausted. When they were dating, he only knew that his wife had a bad temper, but he didn't expect her temper to be so bad.

Before getting married, Lin Shun disagreed with the classic saying in “Fortress Besieged”: “Marriage is a fortress besieged. People outside the fortress want to get in, and people inside the fortress want to get out”, thinking it was an exaggeration.

And now, Lin Shun felt that this classic quote was really written into his heart.

Before getting married, Lin Shun saw other couples arguing in public, and he really couldn't understand why those couples did such shameful things.

But now Lin Shun understands that a quarrel between husband and wife cannot be stopped just because you don't want to, just like a war between countries, which cannot be stopped just because one side says it doesn't want to fight.

In short, three years of marriage made Lin Shun physically and mentally exhausted. He wanted to divorce countless times, but he endured it again and again.

The main reason is that I don’t want my daughter to grow up in a single-parent family.

Because Lin Shun has read relevant articles, he knows that children who grow up in single-parent families are prone to various problems, which may seriously affect the children's lives.

Therefore, every time he had the thought of divorce, Lin Shun thought of his lovely daughter and gritted his teeth to suppress the idea.

But it is really uncomfortable to live with someone who has an incompatible personality. When his wife was "roaring" again because of some trivial matter, Lin Shun finally couldn't bear it anymore!

"Li Jia, let's get divorced!" Lin Shun said in a very calm tone what he had wanted to say two years ago.

Li Jia glanced at her loser husband. She obviously didn't expect him to have the courage to ask for a divorce. She couldn't help but sneer, "Okay, you said it. Whoever doesn't divorce is a dog."

Lin Shun said calmly, "The daughter is mine, the house is mine, the car is yours, and the cash is half each. You don't have to pay for the daughter's support. If you agree, let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to fill out the divorce application tomorrow."

Li Jia responded readily: "Okay, let's do it, I have no objection." The house only gave the down payment, and it would take more than 20 years to pay for it!

When Lin Shun saw that she agreed readily, he also understood that she had wanted a divorce for a long time.

Come to think of it, if she didn't want to get divorced and wanted to live a good life, she would definitely not find fault with him every now and then and quarrel with him over trivial matters.

After agreeing to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow morning to fill out a divorce application, the two stopped communicating and each took out their cell phones to look at them.

…

noon.

Happy Dating Agency.

Just as Jiang Feng walked out of the office and was about to go back to have dinner with his wife, a very special female guest came into the matchmaking agency. The reason why this female guest was special was that she was wearing a school uniform, and it was obvious at first glance that she was not very old, about fourteen or fifteen years old.

Seeing the female student coming in, the girl in charge of reception asked, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

At this time, the young female student had already seen Jiang Feng coming out of the office. Her eyes lit up and she said, "Sister, I'm here to see Brother Jiang Feng."

Jiang Feng took over the conversation and asked, "Little sister, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The young female classmate said nervously, "Brother Jiang Feng, my name is Liu Xiaoye. I have read your information on the Internet and know that you are not only good at matchmaking, but also good at marriage mediation. I think... I think..."

Seeing that she was a little bit at a loss for words, Jiang Feng comforted her: "Sister Xiaoye, don't be nervous. You haven't eaten yet, right? How about we find a place to eat first, and then talk while we eat?"

Liu Xiaoye said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Jiang Feng, I am still a junior high school student and I can't afford to treat you to a big meal. If you don't mind, can I treat you to a fast food meal?"

Jiang Feng laughed and said, "Little Ye, how can I let a junior high school student like you treat me to a meal? What do you want to eat? I'll treat you!"

Liu Xiaoye said seriously: "No, I still need your help, brother. How can I let you treat me to a meal? This meal should be treated by me."

Looking at Liu Xiaoye's serious face, Jiang Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, but I don't want to eat fast food, I want to eat Laoyoufen. How about you treat me to a bowl of Laoyoufen, Sister Xiaoye!"

Nowadays, a fast food meal costs about 20 to 30 yuan, but Laoyoufen can be had for only seven or eight yuan. For a junior high school student, this can reduce the financial burden a lot.

Liu Xiaoye nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Jiang Feng, let's go eat Laoyoufen."

So Jiang Feng took out his cell phone and called his wife, saying that he would not be going home for lunch, and then he and Liu Xiaoye walked to a nearby Laoyou noodle shop.

Each person ordered a bowl of Laoyoufen and sat down in a corner.

After eating a few mouthfuls of noodles, Liu Xiaoye said, "Brother Jiang Feng, I mustered up the courage to come to you today. I want you to help mediate my parents' marriage. Is that possible?"

Jiang Feng had just glanced at her information and was not surprised by her request: "Sister Xiaoye, tell me first, what happened to your parents' marriage?"
