"Sister Wanqiu, the decorations you've done are absolutely gorgeous!" Su Wanqing exclaimed as she accompanied Lin Wanqiu to inspect the hall. "It has the joy of a traditional wedding, yet also the elegance of modern style. I doubt you could find a wedding venue this good in our entire commune."

The villagers who were helping around them chimed in, "Yes, Wanqiu is so thoughtful! Nian'an is such a lucky child!" "Look at these lanterns, couplets, and flowers, they brighten our hearts just looking at them!" "I heard that Wanqiu is personally cooking the dishes for the banquet, we're so lucky to have such a feast!"

Lin Wanqiu smiled and thanked everyone, "Thanks to everyone's help, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to manage alone." Looking at the lively scene before her, she felt a great sense of accomplishment. All the hard work and running around these past few days had now turned into joy and anticipation. She knew that this wedding was not only a major event in her son's life, but also a perfect interpretation of her life after her rebirth—from a penniless, miserable widow to a wealthy woman with a son and a daughter, she had used her own hands to create a bright future for her family.

Just then, the food factory's accountant rushed in: "Director Lin, something bad has happened! Several villagers just came to ask if they could buy the wedding candy gift boxes and pastries we use for our wedding. They said they also have weddings and want to do things like ours."

Lin Wanqiu was taken aback, then an idea struck her. She looked at the red gift box on the table, filled with carefully crafted wedding candies and pastries, exquisitely designed and auspiciously symbolic—truly suitable as wedding banquet gifts. These days, she had been focused on preparing for her son's wedding and hadn't realized the business opportunity it presented. Now, in early spring, the peak season for weddings, the demand for wedding banquet gifts among the villagers was undoubtedly high. If she could launch "wedding banquet-specific food gift boxes," it would not only meet everyone's needs but also bring considerable revenue to the food factory.

Shen Tingzhou immediately understood the trick, and his eyes flashed with approval: "Wanqiu, this is a good opportunity! Our wedding candies and pastries taste good and are beautifully packaged, so they will definitely be popular."

Lin Wanqiu nodded, already having a preliminary plan in mind: "That's right, we can take this opportunity to launch several different grades of wedding banquet food gift boxes, each containing different wedding candies and pastries to meet the needs of different villagers." She looked at the accountant, "Go back and do some statistics, ask the villagers what kind of gift boxes they want, and roughly how many they need, and we'll arrange production as soon as possible."

The accountant nodded quickly: "Okay, Director Lin, I'll take care of it right away!"

Watching the accountant's hurried departure, Su Wanqing said with a smile, "Sister Wanqiu, you really have a business mind! You even thought of this! Now, not only will Nian'an's wedding be a grand affair, but the food factory will also become even more popular."

A confident smile graced Lin Wanqiu's face, her eyes sparkling with anticipation for the future. Sunlight streamed through the hall windows, bathing her in a warm glow. She knew this wedding was not only the beginning of her son's happy life but also a new opportunity for the development of Chenji Food Factory. And she, carrying the hopes and support of her family, would continue to write her own splendid chapter in this hopeful era.

The day before their wedding, Shen Nian'an and Su Xiaoya made their final preparations according to tradition. Shen Nian'an changed into a brand-new Zhongshan suit, carefully adjusting the collar and cuffs in front of the mirror, his face filled with nervousness and anticipation. Su Xiaoya, accompanied by Lin Wanqiu and Su Wanqing, was in her boudoir, wearing a bright red cheongsam. The cheongsam accentuated her slender figure, and the exquisite embroidery shimmered under the light. Sitting in front of her dressing table, she looked at her shy and beautiful reflection in the mirror, her cheeks flushed, her eyes filled with longing for the future.

Lin Wanqiu styled her hair into a bun, adorned it with exquisite hair ornaments, and said softly, "Xiaoya, from tomorrow onwards, you will be a daughter-in-law of the Shen family. Nian'an is a good child, and your mother will love you as much as she loves Nianxi. Let's live a good life together as a family."

Su Xiaoya's eyes reddened slightly as she grasped Lin Wanqiu's hand: "Mother, thank you. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you and Father, take good care of Nian'an, and manage our little family well."

Outside the window, night deepened, and stars twinkled. Every household in the Hongqi Production Brigade was immersed in the festive atmosphere of the upcoming celebration. In the workshop of Chenji Food Factory, workers were working through the night to produce the first batch of wedding banquet food gift boxes. The red packaging boxes were piled up like a small mountain, and the air was filled with a sweet aroma, foreshadowing a grand wedding and a prosperous future.
