As the days go by, the weather gradually warms up.

Everyone changed into spring clothes.

The peach blossoms are pink, the willows are green, the grass is lush, and the young people working are full of vigor. It is a very good era.

There was spring rain when rice was planted in spring, and everyone said that there would definitely be a good harvest this year.

In the past three years, everyone was scared of hunger and was very thin. Last autumn's harvest was barely a good harvest, so everyone still ate according to the plan.

No one dares to waste food.

Every meal should be appreciated as it is not easy to come by, and every piece of clothing should be cherished as it is not easily produced.

Only those who have been hungry understand this sentence.

The system seemed to have disappeared during Xiang Mianmian's school years and never appeared at all.

However, the Xiang family has been too much in the spotlight recently. They successfully got several jobs and even moved to a new house. They are trying to keep a low profile for fear of attracting attention.

Until May 1st.

The agreed time for Xiang Meimei's wedding had arrived. Everyone was on holiday that day. Xiang Hongqi and Zhang Jidi prepared their daughter's birth date and wrote it on red paper, and took Xiang Meimei to Chen's house.

Also going with them was his elder brother Xiang Liguo.

The purpose of taking him there was to let him know the customs and procedures of announcing the date of engagement. After all, it would be his turn to go to the Wang family on October 1st.

Second, he had to bring wedding cakes and gifts for the Chen family. This was a gesture of support from his brother from his sister's family.

The two families have become very familiar with each other. Chen's mother feels that Xiang Meimei is destined to bring good luck to her husband. Look at how prosperous Chen Wei is. He was promoted and given a house. In just a few months, Chen Wei has become a completely different person.

Zhang Jidi felt that Chen Wei, this son-in-law, did not forget his roots. He always gave his work to the Xiang family and was also good to Meimei. Now he was a leader and had his own house. Who wouldn't like such a son-in-law?

The two families warmly announced the engagement date, without any tension as they had when they first met.

In fact, the engagement date is that the woman brings her birth date to the man’s house, exchanges their birth dates, and then looks up the old almanac to determine the wedding date.

Originally, the Chen family wanted to get married on October 1st, but when they knew that Xiang Liguo had announced the date of engagement on October 1st, they postponed the wedding to December 26th at the end of the year.

Chen Ma smiled and said, "I can't make it difficult for you. I'm too busy to handle those who are getting engaged and married on the same day."

Zhang Jidi agreed very much, and the two hit it off and happily agreed to the engagement date.

Next, Xiang Hongqi took out Xiang Meimei's dowry list and handed it to Chen Ma.

It was a piece of white A4-sized paper, copied by Xiang Lili, who had the best handwriting in the family.

The more Chen Ma looked, the more shocked she became. She thought that the Xiang family really loved their daughter and brought all the good things.

The last part was the wedding cakes and various gifts brought by Xiang Liguo.

The wedding cakes were made by the engaged heroine Xiang Meimei herself, in order to show her cooking skills to her future in-laws. The other gifts were different for each household.

Some shoes are made by the bride herself, and she makes a pair for each person in her husband's family to show her craftsmanship and prove that she can do needlework and mend things at home.

Some girls can cut paper-cuts. Various beautiful double happiness paper-cuts are very pretty and festive, proving that they are dexterous.

Xiang Meimei gave each member of her husband's family a pair of shoes, a pair of socks, and a towel.

Chen Liang couldn't wait to try them on, but he saw something inside. He took it out and saw that it was a one-yuan note.

The banknotes are dark red, which is not bright red, but also very festive.

"Our two families are related on good terms, so we each got two yuan. I sent the money to my second sister, telling her where she is going to the countryside. She should receive it in the next few days." Xiang Meimei said shyly.

This is not a small expense. Fourteen yuan for seven people is almost Chen Sanni's monthly salary.

Seeing how considerate she was, even Chen Erni, who went to the countryside, was not forgotten. The Chen family valued this daughter-in-law even more. She was a good child and was taken care of by the whole family.

The two families were very happy. When it was almost over, Chen Ma held Xiang Meimei's hand and was reluctant to let go:

"I have good news to tell you. Someone is coming to propose marriage to Sanni this weekend. Although you haven't married yet, the engagement has been finalized. You are our family's legitimate fiancée, so I hope you can come as well."

Xiang Meimei agreed: "Okay, Auntie, I'll come over at five in the afternoon?"

She hadn't officially married yet and was a distinguished guest, so she wouldn't touch the pots and pans in the Chen family. So it was right for her to come at mealtime.

Mother Chen would not let her daughter-in-law cook. She just felt that the daughter-in-law who had not yet married into the family should have the right to know and participate in important family matters, so she just had to come.

After the deal was settled, the two families saw each other off as they walked out the door.

Mother Chen felt relieved. The marriage of her eldest son Chen Wei was just about to be finalized. The engagement date had already passed and they were just waiting for the wedding. Her youngest son was still young enough to be considered suitable.

Lian Sanni's marriage was settled, and she was really overjoyed.

Chen Sanni learned from her previous lesson and was much more tactful when she started working as a temporary worker again. She did not act superior to others. She carefully looked around and chose the Ming family with the help of her family.

Ming's mother is Chen Sanni's direct supervisor. She is a kind person and she has her eyes on Ming's third son, Mingsen.

The Ming family has four sons and a little daughter. Mingsen is the third child and is not very favored, but his family did not treat him harshly. They supported him to go to high school and he became a regular worker in a match factory.

Mingsen has a good temper, just like his mother, but unfortunately he is already married.

His wife died during childbirth, leaving two lives unsolved. He observed mourning for his wife for a year before marrying Chen Sanni. As a result, his previous mother-in-law in Mount Tai had nothing to say.

After all, it is unrealistic for a man in his early twenties to remain a widower for his entire life.

If Mingsen remarried, the market would not be so good. Fortunately, he had no children, so he was no different from a single young man. He was also good-looking, so Chen Sanni quickly grabbed him.
