The rain came fast and went away quickly.

The wheat was exposed to moisture and would become moldy if kept in the bag for a long time. After making sure that it would not rain again, the villagers poured the wheat out and spread it out to dry.

During this period, thanks to the help of the craftsmen, Dahui and Xiaohui have been gnawing on bones a lot, and they are about to suffer from indigestion.

Lin cooked some wild vegetables in broth and forced Dahui and Xiaohui to eat them.

In the backyard on the other side, Cui Jingwen crossed his legs and looked at the people in front of him arrogantly, like a big boss.

Erfu, Sifu and the smallest tree all looked flattering.

"Want to learn to read?"

Erfu and Sifu nodded hurriedly. Xiaoshu just came to join in the fun. He didn't know why the monkey show had to learn to read, but he nodded anyway.

Cui Jingwen sighed and said slowly, "As you know, I'm very busy all day. The key is that you haven't been enlightened yet. Teaching you three will probably take up a lot of my time..."

Erfu and Sifu pursed their lips. They didn't actually need to study in depth. Just writing some common characters would be enough for them.

"Brother Wen, just write two characters for us every day. We can practice on our own. It won't take up too much of your time..."

Cui Jingwen raised his eyebrows. "That's ridiculous! How can you just swallow a book without understanding its meaning? It's a blasphemy to knowledge."

Erfu and Sifu were immediately panicked. They thought studying was so serious. They had taken it easy.

Brother Jingwen also looked very angry and it seemed that he would not teach them anymore. The two of them were a little discouraged.

"Sorry, Brother Wen, we decided not to learn..."

"But..." Cui Jingwen changed to a more comfortable sitting position, "Since you guys are so sincere about wanting to learn, I will definitely teach you with all my heart. That's right, there are too many chores at home. If someone could help me share the burden, I would have more time to teach you."

Lin has always asked the brother and sister to do their own things since they were young, so he has been washing his own clothes since he came here. Because there is no washing machine, it is painful for him to wash clothes every time.

Erfu understood immediately: "Brother Wen, from now on, if you have dirty clothes, give them to me and I will make sure they are washed clean."

"Brother Wen, let me help you wash the dishes."

Sifu then expressed his sincerity and poked the small tree after speaking.

"I..." Xiaoshu racked his brains and suddenly came up with an idea, "I massage your feet every day."

Cui Jingwen asked critically, "Is that all?"

Suddenly, the window in the backyard was pushed open, and Lin looked at him expressionlessly.

Cui Jingwen sat up straight with a start.

"We're all family, so just...just wash the clothes. There's no need for anything else."

After he finished speaking, the window slowly closed.

Erfu and Sifu were ecstatic: "Thank you, Brother Wen! We promise to study hard!"

Inside the house, Lin was thinking about getting some stationery for the three of them. The cheapest pen and ink cost several hundred coins, and a piece of paper cost dozens of coins. Using them sparingly would not produce any effect. It would be best to make a tool suitable for the children at this stage to practice calligraphy.

In the afternoon, Lin met Cui Jingwen and asked him to help make some wooden boards.

The bottom is a whole piece of wood, surrounded by wooden strips.

Cui Jingwen quickly understood: "You want to teach me how to read? Can I learn too?"

He could read, but because his original body had never been to school, he could only pretend to be illiterate. Now was a good opportunity to clear his name.

"Okay, then I'll make a few more planks. I'll let Shilang and the others learn from me later."

Later, Lin found Silang and the others. When they heard that their third brother wanted to teach them how to read, the children immediately smiled.

Lidong asked tentatively, "Aunt San, can I go and learn too?"

She actually didn't care, but since her fourth brother and the others had all left and she was the only one left, she felt bad.

Lin knew that she had misunderstood. She had just said this to several children. Lidong, being a girl, habitually excluded herself.

"If you want to learn, just follow along. In our family, everyone is treated the same, regardless of gender."

Lidong's eyes turned red and she tried hard to hold back her tears.

"Thank you, Auntie San. I will definitely study hard with Brother San!"
