Chapter 184 Dowry
However, what Shen Zhixia didn't mention was that she was bruised and battered when she fell, and of course, she didn't plan to tell Huo Chunyan about it.
Anyway, she'll understand when she learns to drive.
With the dowry she prepared, plus what Huo's mother prepared, the total was already quite luxurious. In short, Huo Chunyan would definitely not be bullied after marrying Sun Baojun.
Shen Zhixia was very satisfied with the dowry she had arranged.
Huo Chunyan, however, kept her brows furrowed: "Sister-in-law, I can accept other things, but this bicycle is too valuable. Why don't you keep it for yourself?"
Judging from Shen Zhixia's appearance, she can ride a bicycle, and Huo Chenzhou can also ride a bicycle, so it would be more appropriate to leave the bicycle to them.
Shen Zhixia said, "I don't have a job and I don't need a car. As for your brother, he doesn't need one either. He walks a few minutes to work every day."
This place is a family compound, so it's close to everywhere except the health center, which is a bit far.
Shen Zhixia said, "After the exercise is over, you may be able to go back to work at the health center. Riding your bike there will be the best option then."
She has plenty of money now, so buying a bicycle is nothing to her. Besides, her dowry is based on the bride price given by Sun Baojun, and the amount is about right now. During her postpartum period, Huo Chunyan helped her a lot, which she appreciated, so she's returning the favor.
They are relatives, and there will be many opportunities for them to help each other in the future.
Shen Zhixia said, "When I have time, I'll teach you how to ride a bike. But you probably don't need me. You're so smart, you'll probably learn on your own. But right now, it's best not to learn to ride."
We're currently in the midst of a period of exercise, so it's best to keep a low profile in whatever we do. While riding a bicycle isn't anything special, many people can't afford one these days, and those people tend to be extreme. We need to avoid them causing any trouble.
Although the health center was closed, Huo Chunyan gradually went back to work.
She is, after all, a professional nurse with skills. People often get injured in the military camp, so she is always needed to help treat their wounds.
The only difference is that she used to work at the clinic regularly, but now she goes to the military camp every day. For her, it makes no difference.
After all, she can still receive her wages.
She used to have to stay at the clinic all day, but now she only needs to treat the soldiers' injuries and then she can leave, giving her more flexibility in her working hours.
For her, it was actually a good thing.
She gets off work very early every day. When she gets back, she can help Shen Zhixia cook and take care of the children. Shen Zhixia can also cook, but she can only cook some simple dishes. The elaborate dishes still have to be prepared by her. However, everyone seems to accept this and is used to taking care of Shen Zhixia in terms of housework.
After all, when she wasn't around, Huo Chenzhou was allowed to cook, and with Huo Chenzhou's indulgence, everyone naturally felt that Shen Zhixia should be taken care of.
Huo Chunyan was also happy to do these things. On the one hand, she really liked children. Every time she saw the two babies, she was very happy. She even thought that the babies were so cute that she should have one after she got married. On the other hand, Shen Zhixia had prepared such a good dowry for her, and she thought she should also do some things for Shen Zhixia.
Therefore, the two got along very well.
During this time, Sun Baojun and Huo Chunyan's relationship became closer. He would often come over and bring some pastries to Huo Chunyan, who loved them. However, whenever she tried to share them with Shen Zhixia, Shen Zhixia would refuse with a smile. When Huo Chunyan tried to persuade her to continue, Huo Chenzhou would watch her intently from the side.
All right.
Huo Chunyan still thought it was delicious, but from then on, she never recommended it to them again.
Shen Zhixia had prepared the dowry in advance, but had not yet given it to Huo Chunyan. Huo's mother's dowry was also still being prepared. After all, the two were only verbally engaged, and it would be some time before they actually got married.
However, since Sun Baojun has already given the engagement gift and so sincerely, the matter is probably settled.
That day, Sun Baojun took the pastries he had made again. His face looked rosy, and he looked at Huo Chenzhou with great interest: "Brother, Mom said that she will tell you about my marriage with Chunyan from now on. I want to discuss some details with you."
He tried to take Huo Chenzhou's hand, but Huo Chenzhou immediately shook it off, his eyes filled with disgust.
"What nonsense are you spouting? How did my mom become your mom?"
How come he never noticed before that Sun Baojun was so shameless? He wasn't even married to Huo Chunyan yet, and they were already calling each other so intimately.
Sun Baojun wasn't embarrassed at all. He chuckled and said, "Commander Huo, it was Aunt Huo who said we could call her that. She also said she's already started preparing her dowry and is ready to agree to the marriage at any time."
Since Huo's mother had agreed, he could marry Huo Chunyan at any time. In his view, they would soon be family, it was just a matter of time anyway.
Shen Zhixia welcomed them warmly: "Come and eat."
Huo Chunyan came back very early today; they had already prepared the meal.
Upon hearing this, Sun Baojun quickly came over and said, "Sister-in-law, I also want to talk to you about the wedding arrangements today."
Shen Zhixia smiled and said, "Are you all ready?"
Sun Baojun said earnestly, "I've had some ideas these days, but I still want to tell you in detail. Last time I told Aunt Huo my initial thoughts, and she said that I should just discuss them with you."
That's not surprising. Huo's mother is getting old, and she listens to Huo Chenzhou on many things now. Huo Chenzhou is basically in charge of the entire Huo family now.
Shen Zhixia nodded: "Okay, since Chunyan is here too, you can say whatever you want to say, and we'll all listen."
"good."
Sun Baojun said, "What I prepared last time was for the engagement ceremony, and now we need to talk about the bride price."
Shen Zhixia was somewhat surprised. The things Sun Baojun prepared last time were already very valuable, and she thought that they already included the bride price.
Now, she stared at Sun Baojun for a while, wondering if this man was actually richer than she had imagined.
Sun Baojun was certainly not very rich, but he was still willing to spend money on his first wife.
Sun Baojun rubbed his hands together and asked, "How much dowry do you want?"
Shen Zhixia then turned to Huo Chunyan and asked, "Chunyan, how much dowry are you planning to ask for?"
"Huh?" Huo Chunyan was completely dumbfounded; she had absolutely no experience with this.
How much does she want?
