"A honeycomb briquette stove? Where did it come from? Is it still usable?" Lu Shurui asked excitedly. He hadn't even noticed that there was such a stove in the house.

"We found it in the corner of the kitchen. Shuqi said it should be usable. But we don't have any honeycomb briquettes, and we don't know where to buy any," Yu Yin said, feeling a bit of a headache.

There are so many things to do, I feel overwhelmed. The main problem is that everything now requires ration coupons and you have to go to designated places to buy it, unlike in later years when a large supermarket could solve any problem and even deliver to your door.

"I've checked. There's a small storage room in the corner over there. There are some tools and a lot of unused honeycomb briquettes inside. I'll go and move them over," Lu Shurui told Yu Yin and the others about his discovery.

He found it when he was wandering around in the morning.

The house faces south, and the yard is enclosed by a 1.5-meter-high wall made of red bricks, which provides a relatively high level of security.

At the corner on the back, there is a shed that looks like a tool shed, containing some commonly used tools and honeycomb briquettes.

Yu Yin didn't know how to use the honeycomb briquette stove, so she stood by and watched the two of them try to light it.

Surprisingly, the shed was quite well-stocked. Lu Shurui even found more than half a bottle of kerosene, which made things much easier.

The two brothers struggled mightily, getting their faces covered in soot, but they finally managed to light the honeycomb briquette stove. Yu Yin happily filled a kettle with water and placed it on top.

Fortunately, Lu Shurui just bought a basin and a kettle.

Yu Yin boiled some water, told Lu Shurui, and then turned to walk towards the supply and marketing cooperative. Yu Yin wanted to buy two thermos flasks, as well as some bowls and cups, so she could boil water and fill the thermos flasks when thirsty.

It would take three to five days to move into this house, so Yu Yin calmed down and stopped being anxious.
