"Wow!"

Erwa was stunned. "This stone can actually start a fire?"

That's amazing.

Yin Lan explained, "It's not that the stone can start a fire, but rather the gas coming out of it, something we can't see, that can burn."

To explain in detail would involve chemical knowledge, which is definitely not something I can go into.

Yin Lan simply emphasized to the child that starting a fire is dangerous and should only be done by adults; children should not touch it for the time being.

After Yin Lan has observed the children use it a few times and confirmed that it is relatively safe, then she will allow them to use this product.

Several people stared intently at the flame; it was truly amazing.

Even Wang Yun was dumbfounded, "How did they do that?"

This can be considered a simple gas stove. Although it cannot control the flame size, it is still very convenient in this day and age.

The news of Yin Lan's invention quickly spread throughout the village. What? Fire made from stones? Fire made from excrement?

The villagers didn't understand, and they were also shocked to hear that using excrement to start a fire must be incredibly dirty.

But when they arrived and saw the simple stove, the kitchen was clean and there was no excrement. Moreover, the fire was lit right away.

Nobody knows how it's done. And look at how it can produce a continuous fire just by lighting it. It's so much more convenient than burning firewood!

Yin Lan was very satisfied with the kitchen. It was clean and bright, and with new energy, boiling water and taking a bath were much more convenient than usual.

But that doesn't mean you don't need to burn firewood.

In the past few days, Chen Yourun took his two children to collect a lot of firewood. Now the basic structure of the house is complete, with only the roof not yet fully built.

However, Chen Yourun could handle these small matters himself. He naturally wanted to express his gratitude to the villagers for their help over such a long period of time once the house was built.

These past few days, the family has been busy cleaning the house.

The eldest child now has his own room and has started studying, so Chen Yourun made him a desk and a separate bunk bed. The second child has the same room, and the third child also has his own, but because he is still too young, he sleeps with Yin Lan for the time being.

So, once you push open the wooden gate, all you see is a tall, large rock, and you have to walk around it to see the two houses.

This provides a high degree of privacy for the entire courtyard, so there's no fear of being spied on.

Inside, there's a spacious and bright living room with a large door and a large window on the other side, so the natural light is excellent.

Yin Lan bought quite a few bamboo items, similar to benches, at the market before.

Chen Yourun had never really known what this thing was for before, but now he saw it displayed in the spacious hall.

Yin Lan explained that if other people come, they can sit down.

Moreover, Chen Yourun made a small table as instructed by Yin Lan, which could be used to hold some tea.

This large room is spacious, bright, and clean.

Next to it are the kitchen and the shower room.

This shower room was made according to Yin Lan's requirements. She didn't know how Chen Yourun managed to do it, but the temperature inside the shower room was always a bit higher than outside. With the doors and windows closed, it really wasn't cold when taking a shower.

Next to the bathroom is Yin Lan and Chen Yourun's bedroom, in the northwest direction of the courtyard, which is a suitable location for married couples to live in.

In metaphysics, it's called "Qian" for Heaven, and "Tai" for Earth and Heaven, which is generally considered to bring good fortune.

At the other end of the living room are the three children's rooms, and two guest rooms have also been set up, one for Liu Jing and the other for Wang Yun for the time being.

These houses, when gathered together, form a circle.

On the other side, outside the kitchen, is the small garden in the yard.

The kitchen has large windows on the other three sides, except for the wall next to the shower, making it very bright.

Moreover, the bowls inside were all stored in the cabinet that Yin Lan had bought before, so everything was neat and tidy.

Outside the kitchen is a small garden, surrounded by flower beds, where flowers and many common vegetables are grown.

It's just that it's winter now, so it's not growing well yet.

Yin Lan secretly took some garlic cloves, ginger, cilantro, and scallions from the system and planted them. That way, when she needed to cook, she could just walk a few steps to find the freshest produce, which was extremely convenient.

The backyard is just a few meters away from the house.

This is where chickens, ducks, and sheep are raised. Chen Yourun has divided it into several rooms because all the droppings fall down here. Only a few scattered droppings need to be swept up by hand, but Chen Yourun does that. So most of the time, the area where chickens and ducks are raised is very clean and has no odor.

The house was clean, bright, and beautiful. The earthen walls were a light yellow, the thatched roof was a deep yellow, and the distant mountains were lush and green, giving it a truly idyllic, secluded atmosphere.

The two children could hardly believe their eyes. So beautiful! So clean!

Is this their home?

Just a few months ago, they were living in a dilapidated hut, starving and freezing, and they never knew when they would freeze to death.

But now the baby has gained weight, his hair has come back to life, and the house is so big and beautiful.

Although the children watched the house being built, they still couldn't believe their eyes after walking around it several times.

Yin Lan was also very satisfied, and her gaze towards Chen Yourun was filled with smiles.

"That's great!" she exclaimed.

Chen Yourun took a step closer, lowered his head, and stared intently, "Move everything inside?"

Yin Lan avoided eye contact, "Whatever."

The day that was destined to come would eventually come.

In fact, Yin Lan was prepared. It's just that, isn't it? Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run.

In the evening, the family ate dinner in the clean living room.

"A dinner party tomorrow?" Yin Lan asked.

Chen Yourun had no objection.

In fact, Yin Lan didn't want too many people to come in and look around. She was afraid that some people would rummage through the pages and look at things indiscriminately. After all, times have changed, and people in this era don't have such a strong sense of boundaries.

However, Chen Yourun was quite insistent.

This house is much bigger and better than the ones he built himself before. It's a testament to his hard work, as well as his wife's thoughtful design. It's so good that he wanted to show it to others.

Actually, most people in the village have probably heard about the house of the eldest son of the Chen family. They heard that there was a stone placed at the door, as if it were something shameful to be seen by others, so the house must not be very good.

When the day finally arrived, Old Chen's family invited those who had come to help build the house, as well as their own family members, to have a taste of the new house, as a way of expressing their gratitude and celebrating the completion of their home.

Yin Lan happened to have a lot of pig offal at home, so she braised the meat and some of the offal.
