Jiang Yuechu glanced at the young man beside him. He looked so anxious. The date had not been set yet, but he had already bought everything.

In another package was the clothes they had ordered last time. Jiang Yuechu opened it and took a look. It was pretty much what he had imagined. It would come in handy for this engagement.

Jiang Yuechu didn't look at it anymore and put the things away. The snow in the yard was still waiting for her to shovel!

Just as she was about to go out, Jiang Yannan grabbed her, took out a box from his pocket and handed it to her.

Jiang Yuechu looked at the box, which was not very big, and was wondering what was inside, when a lady's watch appeared in her eyes. Her face suddenly changed: "How much did you spend on this?"

"What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Jiang Yannan, who had been paying attention to her, felt uneasy when he saw that she did not look happy.

"You...you are such a spendthrift. You, you spend money so lavishly, do you still want to go to college?" Jiang Yuechu's face changed with anger.

Hearing her words, Jiang Yannan was relieved. It was good that she didn't dislike him. He quickly comforted her softly, "I didn't touch the family's money. This is what I earned from tutoring students before!"

"How can you earn so much by tutoring students?" Jiang Yuechu didn't believe it. The average person's monthly salary is only a few dozen yuan nowadays. Who would be willing to spend so much money on tutoring their children?

"I'm not lying to you. Didn't I tutor Lin Feixue from your class before? Later, several families in their compound came to me, so I earned some money." Jiang Yannan grabbed her hand and slowly put the watch on her wrist.

"We got engaged in such a hurry, and given our current situation, I have no choice but to let you down, so I thought I'd buy you something. When I saw this watch today, I thought it would look great on you, and it would be useful when you study!"

Jiang Yuechu looked at her watch, and an unspeakable bitterness welled up in her heart. In her previous life, even though she went out to work very early, it took her several years to buy a watch. In this life, both of them continued to go to school, and their lives were not as bad as she imagined, but better than in her previous life. In this way, her previous self-sacrifice seemed to have no meaning...

"What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Jiang Yannan asked uneasily when he saw the expression on her face.

"No, I like it very much, but I think it's such a waste!" Jiang Yuechu's eyes were slightly red and he forced a smile.

"Don't worry, Yue'er, you can still earn money in the future..." Jiang Yannan looked at the watch he bought on the girl's slender white wrist, and finally a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"When I'm not with you in the future, you can think of me when you see this watch!"

The young man's low voice sounded in Jiang Yuechu's ears, and Jiang Yuechu's face unconsciously blushed.

"Who missed you?"

Jiang Yuechu's ears turned red. She even forgot to take off her watch and ran out in a hurry.

Jiang Yannan followed her, took the shovel from her hand, and started shoveling the snow in the yard.

Jiang Yuechu didn't argue with him anymore and went back to the kitchen to cook lunch.

After lunch, Jiang Yuechu began to clean the house. The Chinese New Year was only ten days away. If the engagement was to take place before the New Year, it would probably be done in these few days. After all, it was a happy event, so there had to be some sense of ceremony.

Early the next morning, Aunt Zhang came to their house to announce the good news. Two days later was an auspicious day, perfect for engagement, so she asked them to get ready quickly.

The two of them discussed it, bought a piece of cloth, a box of cakes, weighed out some White Rabbit milk candies and two pieces of meat, and went to Aunt Zhang's house, hoping that she could help them as an elder.

This was a happy event, so Aunt Zhang agreed immediately. There was nothing much to do at home anyway.

The engagement day arrived in a flash. Early in the morning, Aunt Zhang brought Chunyan and two wives from the village to help. Qiangzi, who helped last time, also came.

What’s rare is that the weather is good today, and the sun, which has not been seen for a long time, has finally shown up.

The yard is busy...

Jiang Yuechu came to the kitchen to help, but Aunt Zhang stopped her.

"You are a new bride today, you are not allowed to use force!"

"Today is just an engagement, how come she's already a new bride?" Jiang Yuechu muttered softly.

"Here, there is not much difference between engagement and marriage. You will be Yan Nan's future wife from now on! Go back quickly. You don't need to help here. I have arranged everything..."

Jiang Yuechu had no choice but to go back to his room.

Jiang Yannan stood in the yard and greeted the guests who came to drink.

He invited all the people who had helped before, and he couldn't forget the village party secretary, village chief, team leader, and a few villagers who came and went frequently. All in all, there were five tables of people. The entire yard couldn't accommodate them all, so he had to put two tables outside the gate.

"Yan Nan, we almost didn't recognize you after you dressed up like this!" Someone shouted, and many people behind him laughed and echoed.

"Yes, yes, Yan Nan's clothes look good. He looks better than the city dweller in them. He's really handsome..."

"Where did you buy it? I'll buy one tomorrow..."

"With your ugly appearance, no matter how beautiful the clothes are, they will be useless on you..."

There was laughter and joy in the yard...

Jiang Yannan kept putting candies and melon seeds on the table. Aunt Zhang caught sight of him and quickly pulled him aside, patting him on the back: "You are too honest, kid. If you keep putting candies and melon seeds on the table, no matter how much you put them, they won't be enough. Many people just put them in their pockets. Okay, stop putting them on the table. You have to save some to give to the leaders in the village. Do you hear me?"

"Got it, Auntie. I'll go and entertain the guests then!"

The branch secretary didn't come today, so Jiang Yannan came to the village chief and handed him a big front door: "Uncle Zhang, can you go up and say a few words before dinner?"

Zhang Zhihe glanced at the cigarette in his hand. This cigarette is not easy to get. Although this kid is young, he is very capable and has good grades. He will definitely go to a good university, and his bright future is still to come.

Thinking of this, he stood up happily.

"Then I'll say a few words..."

"Fellow villagers, today is the wedding day of Yan Nan and Yue Yatou. They don't have any parents or elders, so I'll take the initiative to say a few words here.

These two children have depended on each other since they were young. It is not easy for them to get to where they are today. If they need any help in the future, please lend a hand. We are all from the same village, so please help in any way you can.

Yan Nan, this child is smart and willing to endure hardships. He will definitely have a great future. Seeing that you can settle this marriage today, Yue girl's father can rest in peace in the underworld!

Okay, I won't say much, let's eat!"

The lunch was very sumptuous, with fish, meat and chicken on every table. There were not many people in the countryside who could afford such a grand meal.

"Sister Yuechu, my mother asked me to call you to the table for dinner!" Before I saw anyone, I heard Chunyan's voice.

Jiang Yuechu had been hungry for a long time, so when he heard this, he quickly came out, walked to Jiang Yannan's table, and sat next to him.

"Girl Yue is so beautiful today. Look at her wearing this dress. She is prettier than those girls in the city. Yan Nan, you are so lucky. Don't bully girl Yue in the future, otherwise we will not agree..." Aunt Zhang was really happy when she saw Jiang Yuechu's pretty appearance.

"Don't worry, Aunt Zhang, I won't bully Yue'er!"

"We have to bully them. If we don't bully them, how can there be any little kids coming out..." A male voice suddenly shouted.

"You are such a good Xiangzi, but you can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. What nonsense are you talking about?" Aunt Zhang chased after him and wanted to beat him.

"Aunt Zhang, spit out the ivory from your mouth and let me see it..." Zhang Xiang said with a smile while dodging.

"Just wait, your wife will take care of you when you get home tonight!"

"No, no, no, Aunt Zhang, I was wrong!"

The people around burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was lively...

Jiang Yuechu looked at this scene, his heart filled with happiness.

In her previous life, she and Jiang Yannan got married in the city. They had no relatives, so they only invited a few people from their unit, and there were only three tables. The joy of the wedding was not as lively as the engagement in this life.
