Many people couldn't sleep on the night Huo Junshan and Yun Ningyan got engaged.

Huo Junshan and Yun Ningyan secretly talked in bed all night until Yun Ningyan was so tired in the early morning that she finally fell asleep.

Huo Junshan was still very excited. He couldn't sleep, so he got up, used a flashlight to make a list of everything he needed to buy the next day, afraid that he would forget it again.

Yun Ningyan was blinded by the flashlight beam and uncomfortably shielded her eyes with her hand.

"Huo Junshan, what are you doing up so late at night? You're making my eyes blurry."

Huo Junshan hurriedly put the written paper into his pocket. "Okay, I'm going to sleep now."

He climbed into bed, pulled her into his arms, and fell asleep without realizing it.

The next day, he got up very early, took the list he had made, and went back to find Li Xiangyun.

Li Xiangyun saw him return from the educated youth settlement early in the morning and assumed he had spent the night there.

She glared at him fiercely, grabbed his ear, and whispered, "Third brother, you're not even married yet and you're already running off there every day, not even coming home at night. Do you think this is proper?"

Huo Junshan pulled his mother's hand down. "Mom, you take the inventory. I just went to ask what everyone wanted to buy. I'll make a list, and you can see if we need anything else."

He read the list aloud in detail. After listening to it once, Li Xiangyun said, "Third brother, shouldn't you decorate your house? Buy more red paper. Your aunt and I will cut out more 'double happiness' characters and window decorations. Wouldn't that make it look more festive? We need to put them up on the back of the house and in our yard too."

Huo Junshan nodded. "Okay, then we're off."

He took the form, turned around, and left.

Yun Ningyan hadn't gotten up yet; she had gone to bed too late last night and was extremely tired.

Huo Junshan gently called out, "Yanyan, get up, we're going to the county to buy things."

Yun Ningyan opened her eyes groggily, her voice thick with nasal congestion, "Huo Junshan, I'm so sleepy."

After she finished speaking, she turned over, wanting to continue sleeping.

Huo Junshan smiled, picked up the little girl, and kissed her lips. "Wake up, let me wash your face first."

He said he filled a basin with water, wet a towel, and gently wiped her face.

He used cold water to wake her up; the cool towel instantly sobered her up when it touched Yun Ningyan's skin.

She rubbed her eyes and said coquettishly, "Huo Junshan, I'm really sleepy."

"Then go sleep in the car later, and I'll help you get dressed."

Yun Ningyan closed her eyes and didn't speak. Huo Junshan found two pieces of clothing for her to put on.

She wore a long-sleeved shirt, a pink jacket over it, and black pants underneath.

The little girl had fair and delicate skin, and her pink clothes made her skin look even more beautiful with a rosy glow.

After getting dressed, she clumsily combed Yun Ningyan's hair, which was long and smooth.

But it wouldn't listen to him at all, and it hurt him several times.

Yun Ningyan had no choice but to tie her hair into a high ponytail. She took out a few steamed buns from her spatial storage, ate one herself, and gave the rest to Huo Junshan.

The two prepared to leave.

Lin Mengmeng and Zhang Qiang were waiting for her outside the door.

Zhang Qiang laughed and said, "Yun Zhiqing, congratulations! After you get married, can you give me this house? I'll give you the money you spent building it. How about that?"

Yun Ningyan nodded. "Okay, 50 yuan."

Lin Mengmeng said with a smile, "I knew Ningning would agree."

Zhang Qiang took out the money and handed it to her. Yun Ningyan accepted it without hesitation, saying, "You can move in after we get married."

Huo Junshan arrived on the brigade leader's bicycle.

He took Yun Ningyan with him all the way to the commune and parked his bicycle at Yang Dasheng's house.

Yang Dasheng looked at the two of them in surprise, "You're getting married! So soon?"

Huo Junshan nodded, "I'll come to the wedding banquet then."

Yang Dasheng nodded repeatedly, "Brother Huo, don't worry, I definitely will!"

The two went to the county department store, browsed around for a long time, and came out carrying a lot of things.

They were all smuggled out of the space by Yun Ningyan.

I have five coats, in various beautiful colors.

Huo Junshan insisted on buying their wedding clothes from a department store.

Huo Junshan bought more than a dozen sheets of red paper, mainly because he was afraid his mother's cutting skills weren't good enough and she would ruin them.

Yun Ningyan bought a bright red woolen coat and picked out a Zhongshan suit for Huo Junshan. In this era, there were no Western suits or wedding dresses; nowadays, people basically wear Zhongshan suits when they get married.

Yun Ningyan specially chose a woolen Zhongshan suit, which was perfect for wearing when it was just getting chilly.

She prepared a lot of things for Huo Junshan, inside and out, including two pairs of leather shoes.

He took out two pairs of liberation shoes and was also preparing to take out a military overcoat.

He also took out a new men's watch, but Huo Junshan refused it. Yun Ningyan said, "I'll keep your women's watch. This is a men's watch, so you can wear it."

The two men wore similar Rolex watches.

She took out quite a few things, inside and out, and finally put the things she needed to take back in a separate place in her space.

Yun Ningyan also specially chose a new set of clothes and a new pair of leather shoes for each of the two elderly people.

They also brought out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes for Uncle Huo, and two boxes of face cream for Li Xiangyun.

Yun Ningyan said, "Huo Junshan, how about we buy a bicycle? I have plenty of storage space, just take one out. Can we take it back with us?"

Huo Junshan nodded. "After we get to the commune, bring out the bicycle, sewing machine, and radio."

"In the end, it will still be our stuff. We can just say that you bought it all yourself and I didn't spend a penny. They can't do anything about it."

"It will be much more convenient to make clothes for children when we have them in the future."

Yun Ningyan nodded. She just wanted to live a better life and didn't want to be too ostentatious.

After having lunch in the county town, the two were about to head back.

The journey was smooth, and when they arrived at the commune, Huo Junshan went to ride his bicycle.

Yun Ningyan looked around to make sure no one was there, then waved her hand, and all the prepared items were arranged: bicycles, radios, sewing machines, and other things were piled up together.

The two hired an oxcart at the commune to load all their belongings back.

Huo Junshan rode his bicycle with Yun Ningyan sitting behind him. The old man driving the oxcart chuckled and said, "You two must be getting married, buying so much stuff."

The oxcart went straight to the Huo family's house.

Huo Junshan unloaded everything one by one.

The Huo family was alarmed and came out to look at the several large items. They never expected Yun Ningyan to be so rich that she could buy these items so easily.

Sister-in-law Huo's eyes turned red with jealousy. "Third brother, where did you get so much money to buy all this?"

Huo Junshan sneered, "Sister-in-law, I didn't buy this. Yanyan bought it. She said it was for her dowry."

Zhang Hongying noticed Huo Junshan's new watch. Her eyes darted around. He had bought a new watch, but what about the old one?

If only it could be used for the founding of the Party!

Huo Junshan's face immediately fell. These people, one by one, wanted to take their things!
