Better check it out

"No, but the doctor said that I was most likely pregnant with twins, but I didn't check because I thought it didn't matter whether I was carrying one child or two children, as long as they were my children."

"I think it's better for you to check. After all, there is a difference between having one child and having two children."

After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Zhang Yuanyuan thought for a moment and decided that it would be okay to check it out. It wouldn't cost much anyway.

So she said to Lu Xiaoxiao, "How about you accompany me to check it out tomorrow?"

"Okay, what time will you go tomorrow?"

"Nine o'clock. It's so cold that I don't even want to get up."

"Don't you have a kang in your house?"

"It's burning, but once you leave the kang, you feel very cold. And I can't stay on the kang all the time, so I think it's better to be comfortable at your home."

"The downstairs of my house is fine, but the upstairs is not as warm as the downstairs. I would say the Tongzilou is better. I can burn the stove and the house will be warm."

"Stove? It's the kind of stove that can boil water and roast dried sweet potatoes and potato slices?"

"Yeah, my house is too big. It's useless to burn that kind of stove. That kind of stove is only suitable for small houses."

Zhang Yuanyuan's eyes immediately lit up after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words, and then she asked Lu Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, what do you think of my home burning that kind of stove?"

"It's possible, but you have to get a vent, otherwise the smoke won't be able to escape the house."

"It's simple. I'll let the monkey do it when he comes back. But where can I buy the stove?"

"The black market, there's no stoves for sale except there now."

After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Zhang Yuanyuan took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it to Lu Xiaoxiao, and then said to Lu Xiaoxiao: "I know you are familiar with people in the black market, so I leave the stove to you."

"No problem, but a stove doesn't cost ten dollars."

"More refunds and less subsidies. You take the money first. I can't possibly ask you to help me buy a stove and also ask you to advance money."

After Lu Xiaoxiao heard Zhang Yuanyuan's words, she collected the money, then she went to the kitchen to take out some rice cakes, and then baked the rice cakes on the stove.

After the rice cakes were baked, she sandwiched two pieces of rice cakes for Zhang Yuanyuan, and then said to Zhang Yuanyuan: "Try it, the rice cakes baked like this are particularly delicious."

After Zhang Yuanyuan heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words, she reached out and picked up a piece of rice cake. Then she tore the rice cake in half, stuffed half of the rice cake into her mouth and ate it.

"How was it? Is it delicious?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked Zhang Yuanyuan after Zhang Yuanyuan finished eating the rice cake.

"It's delicious, the glutinous and chewy ones are particularly delicious, but it would be nice to have more desserts."

"This is not simple. Just dip the baked rice cakes in sugar and eat it." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she went to the kitchen to bring Zhang Yuanyuan a small plate of sugar, and then said to Zhang Yuanyuan: "Eat it. I’ll bake you two more pieces.”

Zhang Yuanyuan heard Lu Xiaoxiao say hello, and then she picked up another piece of rice cake and started eating it.

At around eleven o'clock at noon, Lu Xiaoxiao put down the half-read book in her hand, and then she asked Zhang Yuanyuan, who was sewing diapers, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"

"I can do that. I ate too many rice cakes just now and I'm not hungry yet."

After hearing what Zhang Yuanyuan said, Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said to Zhang Yuanyuan, "How about we have pimple soup for lunch?"

"Okay, but don't cook too much. I only eat a small bowl."

"good."
