As expected, the news that Shuangshui Village Garment Workshop was selected as an advanced collective in Dengcheng City spread throughout Linwen County the next day, and Shuangshui Village became a popular star village in Linwen County.

Leaders from the county and various communes came in droves, visiting and guiding the Shuangshui Village Garment Workshop under the pretext of learning, which annoyed Cheng Maixiang greatly. Finally, when she heard that someone was coming to visit, she wanted to lie on the kang and pretend to be dead. She hated the city so much that it insisted on giving this award to the garment workshop.

Later, it became even more exaggerated. The county and various communes invited her to give reports and share advanced experiences. She used the excuse of poor health to push all the invitations from the communes, except for the invitation from Secretary Zheng Song, to Cheng Maiqing, throwing him a speech that could take an hour to read, and letting her brother take the limelight for her.

Cheng Maiqing has always loved his sister. Besides, he is the leader of the brigade and he attends many meetings of various kinds on weekdays. He is very experienced. Seeing that his sister is in such a mess, and her wedding date is getting closer and he is busy with preparations, he did not refuse and took on the job directly.

With her brother taking care of everything, she finally felt a lot more at ease. In addition, the admission letter from the provincial university also arrived, and the school was scheduled to start on the 30th day of the first lunar month. Calculating the date, it was half a month after her wedding, which left her with a lot of time, making her feel relieved.

Because Cheng Maixiang's wedding was right after the New Year, and she was selected as an advanced collective before the New Year, and she also had the pressure of expanding the garment factory, Cheng Maixiang felt that this New Year was particularly hurried, and it seemed that before she even realized it, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month had arrived.

Tomorrow is her wedding day with Lin Jiayu. According to the rules of Shuangshui Village, both parties agreed to come to pick up the bride at seven in the morning. The wedding party will take a walk around the county town and then go to a restaurant in the county town for the banquet.

It was already midnight. Cheng Maixiang was lying on the kang, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She thought about how when she first came to this world, she was getting married. She replaced the original owner who was deceived by a scumbag and stayed in this world.

Before she knew it, she had been in this world for a year and a half. She had experienced breaking off her engagement with a scumbag, falling in love with Lin Jiayu, opening a garment factory, and taking the college entrance examination. Her life was wonderful. Although her material life was far inferior to that of the future, she had many more relatives who loved her, allowing her to experience the family affection that she had never had in her previous life.

Even her second brother and sister-in-law, who had always been at odds with Cheng's mother and her, had greeted her with smiles and repeatedly said auspicious words in the past few days because they had received a lot of money from the garment factory this year. Her two little nephews were also much more polite when they saw her.

Thinking of all the kindness that Cheng's mother, her elder brother and sister-in-law, and her nephews and nieces had shown her, she suddenly felt reluctant to leave, and even had a faint regret that she should not have set the wedding date so early, and should have stayed at home to spend more time with Cheng's mother.

Cheng Maixiang turned over again and thought to herself, why not find a way to postpone the wedding date. However, the whole family has been busy for nearly two months to prepare for the wedding. If I just don’t get married, how can I explain to my family? Everyone in the village has given gifts and is waiting to attend the wedding tomorrow. If I return their gifts, will they gossip about my family?

Cheng Maixiang was lost in thought and felt a headache. She began to understand the brides in her previous life who suffered from a fear of getting married. She was now thinking about how to postpone the wedding.

"Maizi, can't you sleep?"

Seeing her rolling around on the kang like a wheel, Cheng's mother finally couldn't help asking.

"Mom, did I wake you up?

Mother Cheng smiled softly, "How can a mother sleep well when her daughter is getting married?"

Cheng Maixiang saw that what her mother said was actually a bit sad. She couldn't help but turn on the light and snuggled into her mother's arms like a spoiled child. "Mom, then I won't get married tomorrow. Can we find a way to cancel the wedding?"

Cheng's mother was an experienced person, so she naturally understood that this was just the anxiety and nervousness of her daughter before getting married, which was the most common thing. She couldn't help but gently poke her forehead and said, "Nonsense, the wedding was already decided by everyone, and everything was prepared. Now that she is about to get into the bridal sedan, the bride has changed her mind. How can this be possible?"

"Anyway, he and I haven't gotten a marriage certificate yet. Even if we hold a wedding, the law won't recognize us as husband and wife."

Cheng Maixiang felt discouraged when talking about this, because the original owner's birthday was the 18th day of the first lunar month, so she would not reach the legal marriage age of 20 years old for another two years. Originally, she wanted to wait until she got the marriage certificate before holding the wedding, but her family asked someone to look at it and found that choosing the 16th day of the first lunar month would be the best day for the two of them to get married. After this day, they would have to wait at least another year.

Lin Jiayu didn't want to wait any longer, so he had to talk a lot before finally getting her to agree. Fortunately, they could get the marriage certificate two days after their marriage, which made her feel a lot more balanced.

Seeing her repeatedly mention the marriage certificate, Cheng's mother recalled that when she and Wu Jiadong got married last time, they only needed to get a marriage certificate signed by the village. She was afraid that she had been traumatized by Wu Jiadong's incident and would not dare to marry again. However, she did not dare to ask directly, fearing that it would reveal too much. So she said vaguely, "Maizi, Xiaolin is a good man. He won't treat you like others. Over the past year or so, your mother and your eldest brother and sister-in-law have seen clearly. The whole family is relieved to marry you to such a man."

When Cheng Maixiang heard this, she knew that her mother had misunderstood. She didn't want to spoil her mood by bringing up the original owner's story on such a good day, so she leaned into her mother's arms and rubbed her neck like she did when she was a child, "Mom, I can't bear to leave you."

Cheng's mother's heart suddenly warmed up a lot. The last time her daughter married Wu Jiadong, she was so happy that she didn't sleep all night, but she didn't mention that she and her family were reluctant to leave.

Perhaps because of that experience, my daughter grew up and became more independent and capable. She also became more filial to me and learned to cherish family affection.
