Chapter 5 This is my daughter-in-law!

As soon as Lin Xun's voice fell, before Huo Yanzhou could say anything, Lv Yuzhi's excited voice came from the side:

"Xiao Lin, did you agree? That's great! Rest assured, you will live comfortably in the Family Quarters from now on. If Huo Yanzhou dares to bully you, just call me, and I guarantee I won't let him off!"

Afraid that Huo Yanzhou wouldn't know what to say and would ruin the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law bond between her and Lin Xun, Lv Yuzhi had sneaked over early on.

Huo Yanzhou was a scout by background and had seen her early on, but Lin Xun had been deep in thought and hadn't noticed at all. Hearing Lv Yuzhi say this now, her cheeks instantly flushed red with a "whoosh".

Huo Yanzhou gave a light cough: "Then I'll go back and submit the application."

Lv Yuzhi waved her hand: "Go on, go quickly!"

Huo Yanzhou didn't move his feet, lowering his gaze to look at Lin Xun. Only after Lin Xun nodded did he get up and go out the door.

They had been in such a rush to discuss the marriage proposal earlier that they hadn't even had time to order dishes. Lv Yuzhi asked Lin Xun what she wanted to eat, and after eating, they would go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to buy things needed for the new home.

Lin Xun was slightly startled: "Isn't this too fast?"

They had just talked about getting married in the previous second, and in the next second they were decorating a new home?

"What's so fast about that? Let's buy more while it hasn't snowed yet!"

Lv Yuzhi had only taken five days off for this trip, intending to personally attend their wedding before returning to Beijing, so she was hoping things would go as quickly as possible!

Hearing this, Lin Xun no longer refused. Settling it early was fine too, as that way she could find a job as soon as possible.

However, she had no money in her hands.

Xu Zhicheng's wages were all in Cai Jinhua's hands, and most of the work points Lin Xun had earned from working in the countryside had also been seized by Cai Jinhua.

Now she only had twelve yuan in her hands. What could she buy if she went to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative? Maybe she could only buy a thermos.

The more Lin Xun thought about it, the angrier she got. Just wait, once she stood firm, she would definitely find Cai Jinhua to get all her money back!

Lv Yuzhi said: "Xiao Xun, let's go to the department store in the county. The things there are more complete."

Lin Xun's hand covering her pocket trembled even more. The things at the department store were indeed comprehensive, but they were also more expensive. Now she couldn't even afford a thermos.

Just as she was about to speak, Xiao Wang came running over panting: "The Military Unit has an urgent mission, so the regiment commander can't come. He asked me to take Auntie and Sister-in-law to the county town."

Looking at the military jeep behind him, Lv Yuzhi gave a cold snort, considering this kid to have some perceptiveness.

Xiao Wang looked at Lin Xun again: "Sister-in-law, this is what the regiment commander asked me to give you."

He handed over a thick envelope. Lin Xun opened it and found that it was full of Great Unity banknotes: "What is this?"

"The regiment commander said this eight hundred yuan is the bride price."

Lin Xun was stunned. She had never seen so much money before.

Even when she married Xu Zhicheng, the villagers all said she had married a catch, but the Xu Family's bride price was only fifty yuan.

But now, she and Huo Yanzhou had known each other for less than half a day, and he had someone send eight hundred yuan... In this day and age, the bride price for marriage in the city was only two hundred.

Only then was Lv Yuzhi satisfied, and she quickly smiled: "Xiao Xun, take it quickly. Since you two are getting married, the bride price should be given!"

Not only was the bride price generous, but the subsequent shopping trip to the department store was entirely handled by Lv Yuzhi single-handedly.

The buildings around the Northwest were low, and the two-story department store was considered the most magnificent building in the county town. Correspondingly, the things inside were of better quality and more expensive.

Therefore, no matter what ordinary people bought, they would shop around and hesitate for half a day before making a move.

But Lv Yuzhi was different. She led Lin Xun weaving through the shelves of the department store—pots and pans, furniture and bedding, food and drink... without even asking about the prices, she bought the best of everything.

Everyone around was shocked by her extravagance, and someone asked: "Is there some big happy event?"

Lv Yuzhi said with a smile: "Of course, our family is taking in a daughter-in-law. This is a tremendous happy event!"

In an instant, everyone's gazes turned to Lin Xun, their eyes filled with amazement: "Your daughter-in-law is truly stunning. She and your son are definitely a match made in heaven!"

Even the salesperson brought over a pair of pillowcases embroidered with mandarin ducks: "This is a gift for you. Wishing you a hundred years of harmony!" Having bought so many things, giving a small gift was completely fine.

Suddenly being blessed by so many people, Lin Xun felt a bit embarrassed. Clearly, she and Huo Yanzhou were just making do living together, and they might even get a divorce soon.

But Lv Yuzhi was extremely happy and bought two coal stoves in one breath.

She also said: "There are earthen stoves for cooking, so you can use these two coal stoves to boil water. You need hot water for washing up and doing laundry. As women, we must take good care of ourselves and never be reluctant to use coal. Otherwise, we will suffer when we get old."

In fact, winters in the South were also very cold, but no matter how cold the weather was, Lin Xun could only wash clothes with river water because Cai Jinhua said that a laying hen like her who couldn't lay eggs and had an unpromising belly had no right to use hot water.

Listening to Lv Yuzhi's instructions, Lin Xun felt as if a warm current swept through her heart.

Then, Lv Yuzhi took her to the second floor to buy clothes for her: "It's too cold here. Let's buy more thick clothes, otherwise catching a cold from the freezing weather will be miserable."

Lin Xun had been tormented by Cai Jinhua for two years. Although her complexion was pale and she was too thin, she still couldn't hide her gorgeous appearance. Coupled with her tall and slender figure, she looked good in whatever she wore. Lv Yuzhi bought her several sets of clothes in a row before stopping.

"This red one suits you the best. Wear this to take photos on the day you get your marriage certificate, and let Mom take it back to Beijing for everyone to see how stunning our Huo Family's daughter-in-law is!"

Lin Xun was a bit embarrassed, but she didn't just remain silent blindly. Instead, she said: "Then you can take pictures with us then. Our whole family together."

Hearing this, Lv Yuzhi's brows danced with joy, and she became even happier! This daughter-in-law was simply so sensible and knew how to speak!

Once happy, she picked out a few more pieces of clothing, and it was only when Lin Xun pulled her back that she reluctantly stopped.

They had bought too much, and the department store offered free delivery by vehicle to the Family Quarters, but it would take a while. Custom-made items like furniture wouldn't be ready that quickly.

Just as Lin Xun was about to take out her money, she was stopped by Lv Yuzhi: "Mom will pay for it."

Lin Xun was anxious: "How can that be? Huo Yanzhou gave me money."

"That is your bride price. How can a mother-in-law let her daughter-in-law use her bride price to buy things? Besides, since you two are getting married, as your mother, I definitely have to give you a wedding gift. Be a good girl and put your money away quickly."

Lin Xun's biological mother had died early. After getting married, because she couldn't have children, everyone looked down on her. This was the first time someone treated her this well.

She pursed her lips and smiled, saying sincerely: "Thank you, Mom."

She must work hard and use her own salary at that time to buy Lv Yuzhi the best cashmere coat! The cashmere coats of the Northwest were warm and classy, and they were very popular in Beijing.

Perhaps because she was thinking about this matter in her heart, just as she returned from the county town and got off the car, Lin Xun was called out to by someone.

"Little Comrade! You're finally back. I've been waiting for you for half a day!"

The person who came was none other than Director Xiong. He had hurried to the Hospital and searched all over a huge circle but couldn't find Lin Xun. Unwilling to just go back like that, he could only wait at the front gate, not expecting that he would actually wait her out.

Lin Xun was puzzled: "Do you need something?"

Previously, Director Xiong had looked at her with his nose turned up to the sky, but right now he was as if completely transformed into a different person, immensely enthusiastic: "Little Comrade, do you still remember the mad sheep disease you mentioned? Today at the farm, those sheep suddenly went crazy. Could it be related to the disease you talked about?"

Director Xiong knew how to raise sheep, but he wasn't a veterinarian. Previously, the farm did have a barefoot doctor, but a few days ago his ribs were kicked broken while delivering a calf, and he was still lying in the clinic.

With such a big thing happening right now, Director Xiong had no other choice. Furthermore, he didn't dare to go to the Farm Headquarters to find someone, afraid that if the matter blew up he would have to take responsibility, so he wanted to come and try his luck.

"It's possible. mad sheep disease does indeed make sheep irritable and manic, but the specific situation requires further inspection."

Lin Xun was already anxious to find a job and make money, so naturally she wouldn't waste such a good opportunity, and immediately stated: "If it's convenient, I'll go with you to take a look."

"Great! Little Comrade, follow me quickly!"

Director Xiong incomparably excitedly led Lin Xun back to the farm. Meanwhile, Secretary Sun, who had long been waiting outside the sheep pen, anxiously asked: "Didn't I tell you to go invite a veterinarian?"

Director Xiong nodded: "Comrade Lin is a veterinarian, Secretary. Let her give it a try."

Secretary Sun glanced at Lin Xun, and his expression changed immediately: "You surnamed Xiong, have you lost your mind?"

You're telling me that this delicate, frail female comrade is a veterinarian?

Who are you trying to kid!
