Yun Ningyan slept in late that day.

Now that pig feed is hard to find, she doesn't need to gather it anymore, and she has enough firewood, so there's not much work for her to do.

Get up, eat something, and then walk to the back.

Huo Junshan was still repairing the roof tiles. When she saw her coming over, he smiled at her and continued working.

Huo Jiandang and Huo Jianshe were making cabinets in the yard when she took out a design drawing from her pocket and handed it to them, saying, "What kind of furniture do you want to make? I have a drawing here for you to take a look at."

Huo Jiandang took it and looked at it. The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became. However, this cabinet was very difficult to make. He was not very good at making things to begin with. Wouldn't it be even more difficult to make this?

Making this kind of cabinet also requires making a separate clothes rack.

He was sure Hongying would love this cabinet, so he made up his mind and decided to do it this way.

Yun Ningyan looked around but couldn't find Uncle Huo and Aunt Huo. She asked, "Where are Uncle and Aunt Huo? I haven't seen them."

Huo Jiandang excitedly said, "My father and mother went to the neighboring brigade to talk to Hongying's family about marriage. They're going to arrange my wedding!"

Yun Ningyan nodded and said, "Congratulations! Your house is finished. Get the furniture ready and get ready to marry your new wife!"

Huo Junshan came down from the roof, washed his hands, and pulled Yun Ningyan aside. "What are you two talking about?"

Yun Ningyan smiled, knowing that this person was jealous again. "I didn't say anything, I just gave him a blueprint!"

Before Li Xiangyun and Huo Changgen even entered the door, their cheerful laughter rang out, "Oh dear, you must come to the wedding banquet!"

The two entered the door, smiles still on their faces. Li Xiangyun said as soon as she entered, "Oh, second son, it's settled with your wife's family. We'll get you a wife on the sixth of next month!"

Yun Ningyan calculated the time; it was the sixth day of next month, which was exactly twenty days away. Huo Jiandang's furniture was probably already finished.

For the next few days, Li Xiangyun was rarely seen. She was extremely busy, preparing several quilts for her son and buying all sorts of odds and ends.

Days passed by, and Yun Ningyan's house was all renovated, but the furniture wasn't finished yet. She didn't want to move in yet; such a big yard was too spacious for her to live in alone.

A few days later, Huo Junshan's furniture was also finished.

Yun Ningyan touched the furniture and nodded repeatedly. She didn't expect that Huo Junshan could make it so well with just a blueprint. The main reason was that the wood was good.

The cabinets are made of huanghuali wood, and the table is made of zhangzi wood.

In addition, two beds were made from zimu wood, and Huo Junshan also made her a dressing table, which was very exquisite.

Lin Mengmeng was incredibly envious. She chuckled and said, "Ningning, look how well your life is going. It looks like you're getting married. Why don't you just marry Huo Junshan sooner, so he won't keep thinking about you every day?"

Yun Ningyan slapped her twice, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Huo Junshan was indeed clever. He had Yun Ningyan find a metal pipe from her spatial storage and run it around the entire house. Each room had a small switch, so that if someone was living in a room, turning on the switch would heat up that room.

It's somewhat like the central heating systems of later generations. This system uses the heat and smoke generated by a fire to travel through the rooms and then out of the kitchen chimney.

Yun Ningyan was extremely satisfied!

Their room and kitchen were separated by only one door, which Huo Junshan had specially opened so that they wouldn't have to go to the yard to burn firewood in the kitchen at night.

However, in Heilongjiang Province nowadays, every household only heats their kang (a heated brick bed), and they don't have the luxury of heating the entire room, as that would consume too much firewood and be unaffordable.

It's just that Huo Junshan is capable; the amount of firewood he can gather is equivalent to that of an entire family.

After the house was repaired, Huo Junshan went out several more times, returning after one or two days each time, making seven or eight trips back and forth.

He would stay at home for a day and then leave, the reason being that Yang Dasheng was building a house there, and no one suspected anything.

Until the day before Huo Jiandang's wedding, he came back and gave the money to Yun Ningyan, saying, "Yanyan, I don't plan to go out anymore. Even if I do go out, I'll just sell wild boar. It's almost Chinese New Year, so I'll sell it once or twice more then. I'll just stay home and study with you."

Yun Ningyan took the money and put it directly into her spatial storage. Her eyes lit up. "You finally remembered you needed to study? I thought you'd forgotten!"

She then said, "Huo Junshan, do you know how much money we've saved during this time?"

Huo Junshan shook his head. "There shouldn't be many, right?"

Yun Ningyan pouted. Why was he so calm when it came to money?

During this period, she would be excited for a long time every time he brought money home.

"Huo Junshan, we now have 200,000 in savings!"

She blinked, kissed Huo Junshan on the cheek, and praised, "How exactly did you manage to sell the goods?"

Huo Junshan smiled but remained silent. Yun Ningyan had also secretly gone to the black market. She had some dealings with the black market boss and had sold him things a few times, earning about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. However, Huo Junshan strictly forbade her to go to the black market again, so she had no choice but to stay at home obediently.

Huo Junshan was shocked when he heard that there was 200,000. He had been out and about all this time and hadn't stopped to think about how much money he had actually made!

After spending some time together in the cabin, Huo Junshan put his arm around her and said, "Yanyan, when are you planning to marry me? If not, let's get engaged first?"

Yun Ningyan nodded. "You decide. I don't want to get married in winter. I want it to be in summer so I can look good in clothes."

Huo Junshan was overjoyed. He pecked Yun Ningyan's lips twice. "Yanyan, you agree to marry me? How about we get married when spring comes and the wheat harvest is almost here? I'll have my mother and father come to arrange the engagement in a couple of days!"

Yun Ningyan nodded.

She and Huo Junshan were going to get married sooner or later, and besides, they slept on the same kang (heated brick bed) every day, so she was afraid that they would cause a death.

Although they haven't broken through that barrier yet, they've probably done everything they could; they're just one step away from taking the final one.

To be honest, she was also quite attracted to Huo Junshan's body, but Huo Junshan always withdrew at the crucial moment, which made her feel uncomfortable!

People in this era are conservative in their thinking, and Huo Junshan doesn't want to cross the line.

He couldn't let his little girl suffer. She was someone he cherished and loved, and he couldn't hurt her. He could always make it up to her after they got married.

He knew that the girl was also very uncomfortable every time they were intimate, and he was also burning with desire, but sometimes he just couldn't help wanting to kiss and hug her.

As he thought about it, he reached out and pulled the person into his arms, then kissed him.

Yun Ningyan felt the change beneath him and was startled. Huo Junshan kissed her fiercely and intensely. She nestled in his arms, her eyes reddening from the kisses, and her face flushed.

Huo Junshan's large hand caressed her lower back, and through the fabric, she could feel the heat of his fingertips.

When she could barely breathe, Huo Junshan released her, then took her earlobe into his mouth and gently pressed and nibbled at it. Yun Ningyan was completely limp; her ear was her most sensitive spot.

Huo Junshan's warm tongue gently licked her earlobe, and Yun Ningyan couldn't help but let out a soft moan, her hands climbing up his neck.

The two were reluctant to part, but Huo Junshan finally came to his senses and left, afraid that if he stayed any longer he would hurt Yan Yan.

Yun Ningyan's eyes regained their clarity, and she pounded the kang (a heated brick bed) beneath her.
