"Well, never mind, he'll go back by himself." Zhao Honghui glanced at Xie Yuyao's basket and said without any emotion, "Is it heavy? Do you want me to help you carry it?"
Xie Yuyao thought for a moment, "Thank you, but no need, I can carry it."
Once it's in his hands, the coal stove and coal briquettes can no longer be used.
Zhao Honghui didn't insist. He slowed his pace and walked to the side, making small talk casually: "My name is Zhao Honghui. Are you settling in well?"
"My name is Xie Yuyao, it's alright, the scenery is nice." She looks at the present with the perspective of the future, as if returning to the embrace of nature.

Back at the youth compound, everyone was there. When they saw that Xie Yuyao had bought a coal stove, they were all envious and looked at it as if it were a precious treasure.
Chen Kai helped carry the coal stove out. "Shall we put it in the kitchen?"
"Hmm." Xie Yuyao had just finished speaking when she heard the voices of the other educated youths beside her.
“I also use a coal stove at home, which is much more convenient than a traditional earthen stove, but coal is scarce and we often don’t have enough.”
"My family is the same; we have to use it in conjunction with an earthen stove."
