The next morning, Tang Lei and Tang San got up to prepare breakfast. To their surprise, Tang Hao had gotten up early and had already prepared breakfast, waiting for them.
"Alei, Xiaosan, hurry up and have breakfast. After breakfast, you two will go ironing with me." After saying that, Tang Hao stood up and left.
Tang Lei and Tang San looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
"Well, big brother, what happened today? Why did father suddenly cook for us?" Tang San asked while eating.
"Yeah, no rush, just come as soon as possible, it's too much!" Tang Lei's mouth was stuffed with rice, and he couldn't speak clearly.
"You know that father won't easily cook for us, but why don't you eat it quickly? If you don't eat it now, I'll eat it all!"
"Brother, I know you're a glutton, but at least leave me some. You've already eaten so much, so leave this chicken leg to me." Tang San said anxiously, "I've eaten so much of my father's cooking over the years, but I still can't eat as much as you do in one meal."
"You're dreaming, I really miss this taste,"
The two brothers finished their meal so thoroughly that they didn't even have to wash the plates.
"Brother, you're really going too far. You actually wiped all the dishes with the steamed bun."
"Xiao San, don't think I didn't see you secretly licking your chopsticks."
"How could it be possible that you are dazzled?" Tang San quickly denied.
Tang Lei knew very well that although his younger brother was young, he always valued his reputation.
Pack up and leave quickly, your father has been waiting there for a long time.
When I arrived at the blacksmith's room, I found that Tang Hao was already standing there, forging iron by himself.
"Choose a hammer that suits you and come learn blacksmithing from me." Tang Hao said without raising his head.
"I choose the biggest one." As soon as he finished speaking, Tang San ran over and grabbed the biggest hammer.
He spun it around in his hand a few times like a stick, and glanced at Tang Lei with a show of force. It seemed as if he was showing off, but more so, it was to avenge Tang Lei for stealing his food.
"Well, that's not bad. He's only six years old and can wield such a heavy hammer. He must be born with supernatural powers. It seems he can inherit this skill of our Tang family very well."
Tang Lei walked over, took the remaining hammers in his hands, weighed them, and then put them back.
"What's the matter? Is there a problem?" Tang Hao asked.
"These hammers are too light and have no suitable use." After saying that, Tang Lei turned around and looked at the hammer in Tang Hao's hand.
"Why don't you try out my hammer?" Tang Hao said, "My hammer is three times heavier than the one Xiao San is holding. Are you sure?"
"Yes, Father, I want to try it."
After saying that, Tang Hao handed the hammer to Tang Lei and said, "Be careful, don't hit your feet."
Tang Lei took the hammer in his hand and tried to spin it a few times. Well, it felt pretty good, though still a little light, but it was enough to use.
At this moment, Tang San's eyes were stunned and he quickly ran over and said, "Brother, I want to try it too."
Tang Lei looked up at Tang Hao and saw that he didn't say anything, so he handed the hammer to Tang San. "Be careful. If you can't hold it, put it on the ground quickly."
Tang San took the hammer and spun it a few times, but he couldn't do it as smoothly as Tang Lei, so he returned the hammer to Tang Lei. Blacksmithing is a physical job that requires a lot of endurance. How long can he use this hammer for?
"I didn't expect that you two brothers are so extraordinary. One is born with supernatural powers and the other one is born with strange strength." Hearing their father's praise, the two brothers lowered their heads and laughed.
After saying that, Tang Hao picked up a lighter hammer from the side and said, "In that case, you two should watch me carefully and pay attention to my force application method and technique."
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Thirty-six hammer strikes in a row sounded like thunder, each one striking the central iron block from a different direction and angle. Like a wild, unrestrained antelope hanging from a horn, each one was incredible. Each time, the force grew stronger than the last...
"Have you learned it? If you haven't, I..." Tang Hao's voice hadn't fallen yet.
The two brothers' voices rang out at the same time. "I have learned from my father."
"Okay, I didn't learn it..." "What did you learn?" Tang Hao asked in surprise.
"In that case, Xiaosan, come over here and demonstrate it to me first."
"Okay." Tang San walked forward with his hammer.
"Bang, bang, bang" was also 36 times in a row. Although it was not as loud and powerful and exquisite as Tang Hao's, it was still pretty good.
After the fight, Tang San was a little out of breath. "How is it, father?"
"Not bad. You should practice like this today. Go inside and get two hundred kilograms of iron ingots. I want to see one hundred kilograms of fine iron by evening."
Tang Lei, you come and demonstrate it too.
Bang, bang, bang, another thirty-six hammer strikes in a row. After Tang Lei finished, he stood there calmly, waiting for Tang Hao's comments.
Tang Hao took a look and said, "Not bad, quite decent. You should do the same today. Go into the house and get 500 kilograms of iron ingots. I want to see half of the refined iron by dinner time." After saying that, he left.
Tang San looked at his brother and thought, "I was so smug about my natural strength, but I never expected this brother to be such a freak. His hammer is three times heavier than mine, and yet he's still calm and composed after the blow."
"Xiao San, stop standing there and start now. If we don't see any results by noon, we probably won't be able to eat lunch and will have to go hungry until the afternoon."
After saying that, he started working with a bang.
During this time, Old Jack came by. He said he had secured two work-study spots for the students, and that they would be able to start school in a few days when the college starts recruiting. He also asked what the kids were doing.
Tang Hao replied that he was exercising and sent Old Jack away.
At noon, the two of them had a quick meal and then started working again.
The work was finally finished in the evening. The two dragged their tired bodies back to the house and found that Tang Hao had already prepared the meal and was sitting there waiting for them.
"Come and sit down. Don't eat yet. Stretch out your arms. I'll give you a massage to activate your blood circulation." After saying that, he massaged the two children all over their bodies.
You won't believe it, it's really effective. I feel so much more relaxed all over after the massage.
"After eating and exercising, go to bed quickly. You still have to work again tomorrow morning."
"Brother, what do you think Dad is doing? What is he going to do?"
"Hurry up and eat, there are so many dishes that can't stop you from eating. If you keep talking, I will eat them all." As soon as the words fell, the two people started fighting again.
