When I arrived at the stove, Tong Anlu said to Nie Mao: "I have been a child and have never cooked in life. I'll make this meat by my brother."

Nie Mao couldn't help but be stunned: "How can I cook? Seeing you buying meat, I thought you could cook it!"

Tong Anlu shook his head repeatedly: "My parents died since childhood. I have been raised by my father's colleagues. I don't have any at home. How could I cook? Otherwise, I will add water to the pot and cook it. As long as the heat comes, it will always be cooked."

Nie Mao smiled bitterly and said, "I have to do this. You even bought a kitchen knife and a cutting board today. I thought you were proficient in cooking and didn't want to be like me."

While saying that, he placed the cutting board in his hand on the table.

Tong Anlu put down the meat and said, "Brother, wash the pot and cut the meat. I'll go to Lian Dad's house for a while. I'll take care of his family on a daily basis. Today I bought a roast duck and gave it half of it to them."

Nie Mao nodded and saw that Tong Anlu was about to leave, he hurriedly stopped: "How to cut the meat? Should I cut it into slices or into pieces? Let's talk about it first. I have never done this before. The cuts vary in size, don't blame me!"

Tong Anluo said: "I think the meat I usually eat is cooked in large pieces. We don't have to pay attention to it. Just cut it into large pieces and cook it. By the way, remember to add salt. It's nothing to add other flavors, but it's not delicious if you don't add salt."

Nie Mao agreed repeatedly, scooped water from the jar, added it to the pot, and started brushing the pot.

Tong Anlu brought half of the roast duck that the store had cut and left the yard. When he arrived at the door, he looked at the empty yard next to him and shook his head. A few days ago, because he grabbed the bones in the broth, the family fought with someone and was immediately opened by the Iron Supervisor. The person had already left.

What kind of meat can be on the bones of the soup? But there are always people who like to take advantage of small gains. Whenever they eat, they take a bowl to scoop the soup early in order to scoop the bones inside into their own bowls. Every day, there are those people, and everyone doesn't like them. Finally, that day, two men couldn't stand it and came forward to scold them. As a result, the people who took advantage of small gains hated others the most, and a few of them squeezed there and beat the two.

When the patrolman saw it, he reported it, but no one expected that the China Railway Regulatory Commission ordered the rebellion. And someone came that day and escorted the people to clean up the things in the house, and together with the family, he took them out of the Iron Prison. Tong Anlu heard that those families left the Iron Prison and were arranged to go to Tangzhou to go farming in the south, and there would never be a chance to go back to the Iron Prison. The two men who came forward to scold him gave some rewards because they were brave enough to do things.

The quota of the people who were free of charge was said to be recruited from the people who came to the farm. This yard was left for them. Tong Anlu didn't know what kind of people would be, so he hoped to be honest and not like the previous family to take advantage of it. It would be better if he could tell himself that, and the neighbors helped each other, how harmonious they were.

After entering the Iron Prison, he studied every day. Tong Anlu himself did not expect that he would have the talent to learn. In half a month, he recognized nearly a thousand words, and even "Fang Tian" and "Accounting" were very smooth. Of course, although the Iron Prison still used the name "Fang Tian", the textbooks were actually different from the field camp. They had more content and deeper, and had a lot of geometric knowledge.

Because of his good studies, Tong Anlu became famous in the Iron Prison. Even the magistrate Du Zhongxiao knew about this person. Once he called him to take some time and let him study some poetry and books besides attending classes. Before leaving, he also gave him a set of "The Analects of Confucius" and a collection of Tang poetry. Some even said that if Tong Anlu had money at home and had studied since childhood, he might have been able to pass the Jinshi.

A few days later, Tong An was also floating, feeling that he was delayed by poverty. If he had read poetry and books since he was a child, he might have been a young Jinshi. In those days, he would not have been interested in the iron supervisors and reading poetry and books every day. Unfortunately, somehow, he couldn't read it, which made him very upset.

In the future, my father helped Tong An Road to help him not be ambitious. The most important thing is to be down-to-earth. Those poetry and books are just reading in their spare time, and the most important thing is what they are learning in front of you. Only by learning well can you think of other things. There are many smart people in the world, and being good at learning this does not necessarily mean being good at learning other things. Just like those who are proficient in art and numerology in the world, no one is extremely smart, but how many people can get the Jinshi exam.

Let’s calm down. Tong’anlu’s study is important to get on the right track and learn whatever you learn. Three days ago, he was assigned to Nie Mao to learn knowledge together. However, Nie Mao’s learning emphasizes theory, while Tong’anlu emphasizes practice, and he must know how to do it after learning.

After staying in the Iron Supervisory for some days, Nie Mao realized that he was trained as a senior talent. In Du Zhongxiao's words, if he learns well, he will be a future testing and design talent. Tong Anlu is now a senior fitter, and it depends on his own understanding in the future. These people learn more than others and have better treatment than others. Even if they have separate places to eat, they have more wages.

Even my father was not as smooth as Tong Anlu. He was old and slow to learn things. Fortunately, he was gentle, down-to-earth, and was not impatient when doing things. He struggled to recognize words, so he just recognized words one by one. At night, he often asked Tong Anlu to make up for the lessons and barely kept up with others. In view of this characteristic, he was assigned to the forging worker. He learned well and could recognize hundreds of words and weighed steel blocks with a ruler.

When I first came, when I saw the conditions here, everyone was extremely happy and thought that they would reach the sky from now on. Unexpectedly, after only half a month, someone left, someone had a bright future, and people were obviously different from others. At this time, everyone understood that as time passed day by day, the difference would become bigger and bigger. Although it had not yet officially begun, the worker had already begun to be divided into different levels.

When I was fiddling in the past, everyone was the same, but people with great heights were more valued and others valued it. But as long as I do my job, the money and food I paid was the same. But now it is different, especially like Tong Anlu, who is a fair figure and young, but has a great future, so it is inevitable that someone is unbalanced. But what can I do? The Iron Supervisor has such a rule. It cannot leave and farm like those who robbed their bones.

On vacation today, Tong Anlu invited Nie Mao to his home to make delicious food and drink a few glasses of wine. The people they recruited were different from those of the Laxian Army. Before formal work, they were not considered people from the Iron Supervisor. They lived together, had no separate residence, and were not allowed to bring their families. According to the Iron Supervisor, if they did not study well and did not have any skills in a few months, they would be dismissed back to their hometown.

This is a very interesting thing. The recruited people are all those who read and read, and they learn more than the Xiangjun. Their future status is higher than that of the Xiangjun. They are either technical personnel or managers. But everything is a house on the beach. If you don’t work hard, you will lose your job at any time. If you don’t learn well, as long as you don’t make mistakes, your job will always be there. It’s just that you put in more effort and have less wages. These people don’t have this opportunity.

It was particularly lively today. Looking at the crowds coming and going on the road next to me, Tong Anlu sighed lightly and walked to Lian's father's house.

Lian's father has three children, the eldest son is twelve years old, the younger son is five years old, and a daughter is eight years old. When Tong Anlu came in, the three of them were squatting around their father, watching their father pulling their feathers there. There are many people in the family, and even the living conditions of her father's family are not as well-off as Tong Anlu. It has been half a month since we came. Today is the first time we bought meat to eat, and the children are extremely excited.

When he saw Tong Anlu coming in, the three children gathered together and asked questions.

My father stood up, wiped his hands, and asked with a smile: "It's okay today, haven't you gone out for a walk?"

Tong Anludao: "Nie Mao, who is with me, is from Henan Province. His home is too far away. I invited him today and have a drink together."

Lian Dad said, "Okay, okay, that's what it should be. In the future, everyone should help each other when doing things together."

Tong Anlu handed half of the roast duck in his hand to the eldest son of the Lian family and said, "Dalang, this is half of the roast duck, which is very crispy and delicious. You can take it to your house and hand it to your mother, and cut it for you to eat."

The three children cheered and thanked Tong Anlu, while taking the roast duck, ran into the room.

Lian Dad said, "Why are you spending money? I also bought a chicken at home, and I am slaughtering it and preparing to cook it."

Tong Anludao: "It's nothing. Our neighbors should take care of their father and sister-in-law on weekdays, and this is also what we should do."

After a moment, several children moved out two stools, Tong Anlu and Lian Dad sat down, and talked some gossip in the yard.

After saying a few words about what we have learned today, Tong Anlu said: "I heard that the iron prison has found some work to let our families do it. I wonder if my sister-in-law gets this news? It's good to do something and make money to supplement the family income."

Lian's father said, "I heard that. My husband is learning to make pastries with some wives. I heard that the Iron Prison had intentionally bought grain, sesame oil and sugar, and let them make pastries and fruits and sell them to the two capitals. If he had a job, the two would make money and their lives would be relaxed. I also heard from the people in the Iron Prison that we would build schools here by winter. At that time, let my Dalang go to school, so don't be like me anymore. Now, in the Iron Prison, people who can read and read books and read words are more likely to have a better future than others. After entering the school, it would be a good thing not to mention taking the Jinshi in the future, even in the Iron Prison."

Tong Anlu said: "Yes, I didn't think that when I read others, I just thought it would be useless to not be able to pass the Jinshi. Now it's different. If you can learn better than others, you will be easy to do things and have more wages, but you can't be careless."

After chatting for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Tong Anlu got up and said goodbye. Nie Mao cooked meat at home. Seeing his clumsy look, he didn't know what it would cook. Not to mention how delicious it was, the meat had to be cooked and wasted.

Just as he was about to go out, Lian Dalang ran out of it and held a fish in his hand and handed it to Tong Anlu: "Brother, walk slowly. I went to the river with others today to catch a few fish. You took it back to eat."

Tong Anlu laughed: "I am alone at home and can't even cook the meat. What's the use of giving me fish? I'll take it back and don't know how to put it in the pot. It's not a waste! Today, I bought some fried fish on the south bank of the river. You'll be grateful for your kindness!"

After saying that, he handed the fish back to Lian Dalang and Tong Anlu left the Lian family's door.
Chapter completed!
