An Zhiyuan came back, bringing with him an electric stove with a high wattage, which is common here, though most households wouldn't use it—it's not only a big electricity consumer but also a potential fire hazard.
But now, this was the only option available.
Yet, a few more people came along, unexpectedly, it was Zhang Duo, a sister-in-law, and a soldier in a wheelchair, accompanied by a little girl.
Bai Xiao was busy inside the house and had no idea that guests had arrived outside.
As soon as the electric stove arrived, Bai Xiao immediately had everyone set the table, plugged in the stove, and placed the clay pot on top.
She added the base ingredients and broth she had prepared to the pot, and the meatballs brought from home were already taken out to be defrosted.
