Su Yun'er naturally couldn't and wouldn't refuse.
"It's just that Zixing started school later than the other children, so he has to start from the very basics and will be slower than the other children. When I don't have time, I'll have Xiaocao take care of him, but I will still teach and check on him every day. Aunt Song, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"
"I'm very satisfied. How could I not trust you?" Aunt Song was overjoyed.
Unlike Lin Moniang, who was determined to free her child from peasant status, she also felt that education was a good thing. It was better to have more knowledge than to be illiterate and easily deceived.
So now, every day when checking homework, Su Yun'er has five children sitting in a row in front of her.
Song Zixing was very intelligent and ambitious. Although he started school the latest, he learned very quickly. Xiaocao always told Su Yun'er that Song Zixing could quickly remember the knowledge she had explained to him once.
Su Yun'er also relayed these words to Aunt Song.
Aunt Song and Zixing's mother, Li Lan, were overjoyed and immediately went to buy a set of writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones for Song Zixing.

The Song family.
Lin Moniang opened her eyes and watched the sky gradually turn from inky black to white.
At the other end of the kang (heated brick bed), Lin Xiaolan was sleeping soundly.
Lin Moniang quietly got up and took out a small wooden box from the kang cabinet. Inside were several land deeds and house deeds. On the deeds were a plain silver hairpin, a pair of jade bracelets, and several strings of copper coins.
This is all the wealth that Lin Moniang and her son Lin Xiaolan have now.
Looking back at Lin Xiaolan, who was sleeping soundly, Lin Moniang made up her mind, took out the land deed from the wooden box, and stuffed it into her clothes.

The Su family's new residence.
Su Yun'er came to the new house today to check on the construction progress and the effect of the renovation.
There used to be a grapevine in the yard. No one had been looking after it for several years, but it still produced grapes every year. However, the grapes were all too sour.
He Liu had originally suggested to Su Yun'er that she cut down the grapevine: "If you cut down this tree, you can raise a few more chickens or a pig in the remaining space. Even if you don't raise any, it will save a lot of space, and it will look much more spacious."
But Su Yun'er didn't want to cut it off.
Just kidding, these are grapevines! Grapes were a rare species in this dynasty, how could they just be cut down like that?
The spiritual spring water from her game space, if used to water this grapevine, should make the fruit sweeter.
At that time, she can also experience the luxurious life of the ancients, enjoying "grape wine in a luminous cup under the moonlight".
In addition, she plans to pave a path with blue bricks on the muddy ground in the yard, leading to the various houses and gates in the yard.
In addition, the remaining third of the area was paved with blue bricks and a trellis was built right next to the grapevines so that the vines could climb. In the summer, this will be a natural pergola, which can serve as the main activity area in the yard for the family, where they can sit and rest, or set up a table to eat.
Of the remaining two-thirds of the area, we took one-third of it and built a chicken coop, which is larger than the one at the old house. We plan to increase the number of chickens there in the future.
The remaining part, next to the well, can be used to cultivate a small vegetable garden, where you can grow everyday vegetables, scallions, ginger, garlic, and some flowers to decorate the yard.
In addition to the original kitchen, Su Yun'er added a new stove, also using a shed for shelter. With an extra stove, she wouldn't have to cook in the kitchen when it got hot; she could cook outside in the yard instead.
As of today, the renovation of the original few rooms has been completed, and it's time to start laying blue bricks and building scaffolding in the yard, so Su Yun'er came here specifically to oversee the work.
Su Yun'er was tending the fire and boiling water next to the new stove when she heard someone calling her.
Looking back, it turned out to be Lin Moniang.
