Engagement custom in Ningyang, Tai 'an.

On the day of engagement, the woman's family (father, mother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, aunt) went to the man's house. The man's family is going to buy things for the woman and prepare gifts for the woman's family (usually two packs of sugar, two cigarettes and two bottles of wine). The girl called the boy's parents, and the man's parents changed money for the girl (10,000 yuan is called one in a million, but the man has to keep that money). Boys should also call the woman's parents and family, and the woman's parents should also give the man a red envelope.
