Its a good chance to get more flowers!OK, Linda, please! she says we can use Chinese food to replace noodles, rice and dumplings, that will make it brief and clear, is she right? Good, sit down, please. Anyone else? But, I have a question, pay attention to this sentence: we have no problem getting or get?
