That night, Yu Zhou thoroughly taught Jin Chuan another option besides reviewing his lessons, but he didn't stay up too late, after all, he had to get up early the next day to memorize his lessons.

Before the morning of the next day, the big rooster raised by Aunt Chen next door crowed on time like a set alarm clock. Because Yu Zhou had to get up early, he didn't sleep too deeply at night, so he woke up from his sleep when he heard the rooster crowing.

The summer day dawns early, and the direction of the window looks whiter than other places. He lay quietly for two minutes, waiting for his mind and body to be completely awake, and then slowly took his hand away from the person next to him.

As a result, Jinchuan woke up immediately when he moved, and asked dazedly: "Is it dawn yet?"

"It's still early," Yu Zhou stroked Jinchuan's back a few times and whispered, "You should continue to sleep for a while."

After a while, when the breathing of the people around him became long again, he tiptoed out of the main room, opened the door of the main room, and saw that he could already see the general outline of the objects outside.

Yu Zhou did not go to the yard, but chose a position at the door where he could move his hands and feet as much as he wanted, did a set of radio gymnastics to warm up, and then did 40 push-ups, and the morning exercise came to an end.

After that, he fetched water to wash, washed rice and put it on the stove to cook porridge. After finishing all these, the sky was much brighter than before. If he wanted to recite the book, he could barely see the words on the book in the yard.

However, Yu Zhou still took out the oil lamp in the main room, lit it and put it on the stool at the door. He sat on the threshold and read the book with the light of the oil lamp. After all, the oil lamp was cheap, but if he accidentally made his eyes myopic, it would be a big trouble.

He paid special attention to this point.

The speed of memorizing things in the morning was indeed much faster than usual. In just over an hour, he memorized all the nearly 500 words in the "Learning" chapter of "The Analects of Confucius". Although some sentences were memorized before or familiar to him elsewhere, he was still quite confident in terms of this result.

When Jinchuan got up, she saw her husband sitting on the doorstep, holding a book in his hand, mumbling with his eyes closed, and not noticing that it was already bright outside, with the oil lamp still lit on the stool.

He took a look and tiptoed into the kitchen, without reminding her or turning off the light.

It was almost morning when Jinchuan came out of the kitchen with the cooked porridge and vegetables.

At this time, Yuzhou just closed the book and went into the house with the oil lamp on the stool.

After having breakfast together, Yuzhou went to Mr. Wen's house with the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and books in the basket prepared yesterday.

Mr. Wen probably staggered the study time of several people, so when Yuzhou arrived, he did not see the two children in the village, but only saw Yu Wenliang arranged to recite books under the bamboo at the door.

Seeing Yu Zhou coming at this hour, Mr. Wen was quite satisfied. He took Yu Zhou to the west wing used as a study. After they sat down, he asked, "Today I will teach you the first chapter of the Analects, the Learning Chapter."

After opening the book, Mr. Wen suddenly paused, looked at Yu Zhou and asked, "Can you recite it all?"

"I reviewed it again this morning, and now I can recite it." Yu Zhou said honestly.
