In the kitchen, there was the crackling sound of burning firewood, and outside the yard, there was the sound of the Lin family chatting and playing.
Inside the house, Lin Sheng and Lin Wu were being pulled by Fu Yanzhi to review today's lessons. Compared with the progress of other members of the Lin family, the two had the worst progress because they started learning later.
Therefore, whenever he had time, Fu Yanzhi would find a way to teach the two of them how to read, in an attempt to catch up with the others as quickly as possible.
Just as Lin Mo had expected, Lin Wu was not a good student. As soon as Fu Yanzhi started teaching, he began to feel drowsy almost immediately.
He fell sleepy even faster today. After a busy day, he was already exhausted. Listening to Fu Yanzhi's voice at this moment was like a lullaby. The more he listened, the sleepier he became.
Lin Sheng also doesn't like reading. He has been studying hard just to learn a few more words. On weekdays, he can barely keep up with Fu Yanzhi's teaching progress.
But after a busy day today, he was exhausted all over. As he listened, he snuggled up to Lin Wu and began to snore.
Fu Yanzhi: "...Let's stop here for today. We'll continue studying after the autumn harvest."
! !
"What! That's great!"
Lin Wu sat up straight with a start, staring at Fu Yanzhi with his bright eyes. He was completely different from the person who was sleeping soundly on the table just now.
Lin Sheng was also delighted when he was awakened. He smiled at Fu Yanzhi embarrassedly, but he felt relieved in his heart for a moment.
Fu Yanzhi knocked Lin Wu's head in annoyance and said, "When it comes to studying, your brows are so furrowed that they can kill a fly. Fortunately, Lin Mo only asked me to enlighten you."
"If I asked you to take the imperial examination, even I would frown."
Lin Wu scratched his head embarrassedly. He really didn't like studying, but he also knew that reading and writing were beneficial.
He usually studies hard, knowing that he is slower than others and his brain is not as flexible, so it takes him more time.
He smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm a little tired these past few days, Teacher Fu, please let me rest for two days. I will definitely work harder in the future."
"Alright, I won't give you any extra homework during the autumn harvest. You should review what you've learned on your own."
Fu Yanzhi had a stern face, and his fair and tender facial features showed a rare seriousness under the dim light.
He was handsome and elegant, about the same height as Lin Wu, but his body shape was significantly different.
Although Lin Wu is bigger than him, he has always respected him the most. As long as Fu Yanzhi's face changes, he will become nervous and flustered.
It is normal for his face to look like pig liver, and for him to stutter and speak incoherently.
With Fu Yanzhi's approval, the two finally went to wash up with a sense of relief. Autumn harvest is tiring, and the weather is hot.
Even though I took a cold shower when I came back, my body started to feel hot and sticky again.

In the next few days, the whole family was busy working in the fields. After threshing the rice, they had to sift out all the empty rice husks.
All the sifted millet needs to be dried thoroughly. Fortunately, the new house has been built and there is plenty of open space in the yard for drying.
After drying, the millet can be stored in the cellar or warehouse of the new house.
This year's harvest is better than in previous years. Not only is there more grain, but each grain is plump. You can tell at a glance that a lot of effort has been put into tending to it this year.
"After we finish our work in the fields, we will almost go to town." Lin Mo said.
The wedding dress they ordered has probably been delivered to the town, so they can pick it up when they go there this time.
A cool breeze blew across the low hillside as Lin Mo held Su Mu's hand and walked along the winding path.
Although Maolin Village is surrounded by a large river, its terrain is not flat, and barren hills and small knolls are common.
Su Musong exhaled a breath of hot air and looked at the villagers who were still busy in the fields in the distance, feeling a sense of emotion in his heart.
"Didn't you say before that you wanted to find villagers to help us farm? After the autumn harvest, everyone in the village will have some free time."
Lin Mo nodded. After the factory was built, the materials needed would only increase, not decrease, so from the beginning he planned to ask the villagers to help grow the most important peppers and chili peppers.
"Okay, then let's go find the village chief and tell him about this."
Lin Mo raised his eyebrows slightly. In his original memory, Maolin Village only planted one season of rice. After the harvest, the land was turned over and planted, which was rapeseed.
The oil extraction technology in this world is still very backward, so the price of rapeseed oil is not low.
But rapeseed oil is relatively popular and cheaper than lard. Most people who can't afford lard buy rapeseed oil instead.
So after the autumn harvest, farmers will continue to plow the fields, plant rapeseed, and harvest it before transplanting rice seedlings next year.
Then sell the harvested rapeseed in exchange for profit.
"You don't have much land at home, so it won't take a few days to plow the soil. Otherwise, I can plow the soil at home and plant rapeseed, so that we can get extra income next year."
Su Mu said this with a smile, with a hint of reserve and anticipation on his face. When he was in the Su family, he was always looking forward to the autumn harvest and the crops in the fields to be harvested as soon as possible.
Although he would work very hard, his mother would let him eat more food during the autumn harvest.
These were the few days in a year when he could have a full meal, even though his mother's purpose was to make him work more.
He was also very happy because he could eat his fill.
Lin Mo rubbed his hair, which had become much darker and shinier, and said softly, "Little Wood, why do you only think about making money for me all day? If you do this, I will feel sorry for you and feel useless."
Lin Mo lowered his eyelashes, and his long and dense feathery eyelashes cast a small triangular shadow under his eyes, making it impossible to see his gaze.
But his drooping brows made people feel a little pitiful, coupled with his voice that was slightly lost and self-blaming.
Su Mu felt a little distressed for no reason. He looked up in confusion and reached out to lift Lin Mo's long hair that was blown by the breeze.
"But this is all I can do. I don't want to be as successful as you. What I'm good at is these local jobs."
"Lin Mo, I hope I can also make money for you."
Su Mu raised his eyes and looked at Lin Mo steadily. He didn't say anything, but Lin Mo understood his uneasiness and persistence.
He sighed lightly and held the person in his arms. The warm wind was still lingering with joy, and a light sunset glow hung in the sky.
Lin Mo's eyes swept over Su Mu's little face. The food at home was so good recently.
The big guy became rounder, and Su Mu's little face became much fleshier. He was born with fair skin, and the skin that was exposed to the sun and tanned gradually became much whiter after being pampered during this period.
The already dark and bright eyes were now even more prominent, shining brightly into Lin Mo's heart.
He pinched the tip of the other person's handsome and tall nose, poked his flushed face, and continued to move his fingers towards his ears.
Su Mu twisted his head unbearably and muttered, "Itchy."
