Chapter 181 Proposal

However, a month later, Sun Baojun quickly confessed his feelings to Huo Chunyan. Huo Chunyan did not agree immediately, but instead told Huo Chenzhou and Shen Zhixia about it.

No one had any objections to this.

After all, Sun Baojun had been coming frequently and was very polite, and had long since won over Shen Zhixia and Huo Chenzhou, so his relationship with Huo Chunyan wasn't that surprising.

The two then confirmed their relationship, and everyone in the family compound knew about it. In fact, even if they hadn't been notified, they could have guessed it, since Sun Baojun and Huo Chunyan had been spending a lot of time together during this period.

After Zhang Weihong found out about this, she happily came over to visit: "You two are finally together! I saw them seeing each other all the time, but they didn't tell anyone. I thought your relationship was going to break up."

Huo Chunyan said apologetically, "We weren't in a rush before, since we didn't know each other well, so we were both getting to know each other."

Zhang Weihong said, "Don't worry about that. Comrade Sun is a good comrade. He has served in the army for many years, and everyone knows he is a good person."

People these days are generally quite honest and simple. Huo Chunyan spent some time with Sun Baojun and had no complaints about him. She also felt that he was indeed a good person.

Moreover, both Huo Chenzhou and Shen Zhixia said he was a good person, which gave Huo Chunyan even more confidence. Now, choosing someone who is inherently a good person is the most important thing. After all, he is a good person, so what he does is kind. Even if there is a rift between the two of them in the future, she is not afraid of what Sun Baojun might do.

Zhang Weihong then inquired, "Have you decided when you're going to get married?"

Huo Chunyan had never really thought about this.

However, getting married is quick these days. Once the relationship is confirmed, both sets of parents will probably start urging you to get married.

She could only honestly say, "I don't know either. When Sun Baojun is on vacation, I plan to bring him home so my mom and older brother can meet him, and then we can talk about marriage."

Zhang Weihong said, "That's great! There haven't been any happy events in the military camp for a long time. You must have a big celebration for your wedding this time."

Huo Chunyan said shyly, "Even if we get married, it will probably just be a meal at my hometown. We won't have a big celebration."

Zhang Weihong waved her hand dismissively and said, "Anyway, you must invite me to your wedding. Even if you hold it in your hometown, I'll go with you. I regret not being able to attend Xiao Shen's wedding back then."

Shen Zhixia listened from the side and said with a smile, "You didn't even know me back then, so it's normal that you didn't attend my wedding."

Huo Chunyan nodded seriously and said, "Sister Zhang, don't worry, if I get married, I will definitely invite you first."

Zhang Weihong laughed heartily: "Alright, you must remember that."

The group chatted and laughed, creating a harmonious atmosphere. Although the matter was still far from being settled, they had already discussed it quite thoroughly.

Soon, they received a telegram informing them that Howard was able to walk again, and at this rate, he would surely recover to his former state very soon.

Although they couldn't visit Howard right now, everyone seemed very happy.

Sun Baojun liked Huo Chunyan very much and kept bringing up marriage. At first, Huo Chunyan thought it was too fast and refused, but Sun Baojun brought it up a few more times, and she didn't resist too much.

She was originally going to talk to Huo's mother about this, but Huo's mother wasn't there, so she told Shen Zhixia instead: "Sun Baojun keeps talking about marriage. Don't you think it's too early now?"

Shen Zhixia said, "I think Sun Baojun is a reliable person. If you don't object, it's fine to get married sooner. It's just that the timing isn't right now, so the wedding can't be a grand affair."

She felt that marriage was a very important event and should be a grand affair. However, since it was during a period of great political turmoil, a large wedding would likely be seen as extravagant. Therefore, even if a wedding were to be held, it would have to be kept simple. If that were the case, Huo Chunyan would feel wronged.

“If you get married a little later, you can invite more people. After all, marriage is a big deal and shouldn’t be taken lightly,” Shen Zhixia said.

She had no objection to Sun Baojun and Huo Chunyan being together. After getting to know them, she found that they were well-matched, and Sun Baojun had a good personality, making them a good match.

Huo Chunyan nodded: "Then I'll tell Sun Baojun about this."

Shen Zhixia nodded: "Okay, you guys discuss it again."

When Sun Baojun arrived, Huo Chunyan told him about it. She originally thought that Sun Baojun wanted to get married and wouldn't care about this. After all, she had also discovered that Sun Baojun was a family man who longed to start a family as soon as possible.

To everyone's surprise, Sun Baojun frowned and said, "Then let's wait a while longer. Anyway, this wedding absolutely cannot be taken lightly. It must be held, properly held, and extraordinarily grand."

Huo Chunyan: "?"

She paused for a moment and said, "Actually, I think it's best to keep it simple. I don't care that much about the formalities."

Sun Baojun said, "I care about it. This is my first wedding, and it's very meaningful. I can't leave any regrets. We have a lot of relatives and friends from both sides, and we must invite them all. It must be a lively and festive occasion."

And so the matter was settled.

Even if we don't have the wedding now, it will happen soon. The movement is in full swing now, but it will subside after a while.

As Huo Chunyan's sister-in-law, Shen Zhixia had an obligation to help her prepare for the wedding. It was her first time preparing for such a thing, and she was very enthusiastic.

When she went to bed that night, Shen Zhixia told Huo Chenzhou about it.

Upon hearing this, Huo Chenzhou snorted, "That kid is quick to act."

Huo Chunyan is not young anymore. Others her age already have children old enough to run errands, so it's perfectly normal for her to get married now.

But when I heard that my sister was getting married, I still felt like a cabbage had been eaten by a pig.

Shen Zhixia said, "Then write a letter to tell Mom about this. She will definitely be very happy."

Huo Chenzhou nodded: "Okay."

A few days later, when Huo's mother learned of the news, she was indeed very happy. She replied with several "good"s, indicating that she was very satisfied with the marriage.

Sun Baojun's position was more relaxed than Huo Chenzhou's. He took a few days off in advance and went back to see Huo's mother with Huo Chunyan. This time, Shen Zhixia and Huo Chenzhou did not go back, but they knew that Sun Baojun had taken gifts to propose marriage.
