Chapter 2201: Queuing at Early Morning (I)
"I came to see you at twelve o'clock in the evening not because I have something to ask you, but because I want to take you to line up."
"Queue, what queue?"
"The food purchasing team, didn't they issue food coupons today? If you don't line up early, you won't be able to buy any food tomorrow."
After listening to Zhang Aihua's words, Lu Xiaoxiao understood what was going on. Although she didn't have to queue up to buy food, she wanted to experience what it felt like to queue up to buy food in the middle of the night, so she said to Zhang Aihua, "I'll wait for you at the door at twelve o'clock tonight."
"Okay, I'm going home now. Remember to wear something thicker. It's very cold at night."
"I see. Thank you."
"You're welcome. I'm leaving now."
After Lu Xiaoxiao sent Zhang Aihua away, she took out the dumplings she had packed earlier and went to the kitchen to heat them up.
As for why she was heating up the dumplings at this time, it was because she was hungry. The mutton offal soup was not enough to satisfy her hunger. She felt hungry after just a short while.
After Lu Xiaoxiao finished eating the dumplings, she rested for a while and planned to take a nap so that she would have enough energy to queue up in the evening.
After Zhang Aihua returned home, she saw Chen Zhenzhen packing grain bags, so she went forward to help.
"Ahua, you're back. Why didn't Xiaoxiao go home with you?" Chen Zhenzhen realized that Zhang Aihua had returned when she was helping her pack the grain bags, so she asked Zhang Aihua.
"Xiaoxiao went home. I just came back from her house."
"Did you go to Xiaoxiao's house? How was it? Is Xiaoxiao's house beautiful?"
"It's beautiful, but I think Xiaoxiao's house is too big and empty. Xiaoxiao will feel too lonely living in such a big house by herself."
"If you think Xiaoxiao is lonely, you can go and play with Xiaoxiao more often in the future."
"I see. By the way, Mom, do you know anything about heating?"
"I know a little, what's wrong?"
"Can we install a heating stove at home? Xiaoxiao's house has a heating stove, so we don't need to wear a cotton-padded jacket in the house, it's so comfortable."
"Forget it. A heating stove is not something our family can afford. Let alone the money it would cost to lay heating pipes for our home, even the coal used in the heating stove is not something our family can afford."
Zhang Aihua was stunned when she heard what Chen Zhenzhen said. She originally thought that heating only required installing a stove, but she didn't expect that so many things would be installed. It was really scary.
"Okay, stop thinking about those unrealistic things and go back to your room and go to sleep, otherwise you won't be able to get up at night."
"Okay, I'll go to bed now." After saying that, Zhang Aihua ran into the house.
Chen Zhenzhen looked at Zhang Aihua's back and shook her head helplessly. She really suspected that Zhang Aihua was the reincarnation of a monkey, otherwise why would she jump around like a monkey all day long and not look steady at all.
At around five in the evening, Lu Xiaoxiao was awakened by the alarm clock. After reaching out to turn off the alarm clock, she curled up in bed and continued to sleep. She didn't get out of bed until around nine in the evening.
After Lu Xiaoxiao crawled out of bed, she felt the temperature in the room had dropped again. She rubbed her arms with her hands, quickly picked up the down jacket beside the bed and put it on, then went downstairs to light the stove.
After she lit the stove, she went into the space to wash up. After washing up, she had dinner in the space before coming out.
After she left the space, she saw that the temperature in the room had risen, so she didn't put on more clothes, but sat on the sofa in her home clothes.
