Tian Lin finally failed to find a place to take a dip, there were too many migrant workers, too little shade, so she could only find a place where few people could sit down and stretch her feet, and seize the time to rest.

No one has a watch, and it is up to the sun to judge the time. Jiang Feng was sitting on the ground listening to Tian Lin and Xiujuan chatting about family life, only to hear a crisp and sharp whistle and an inaudible shout, and everyone stood up.

Work started.

At first, Jiang Feng heard Tian Lin say that anti-bun thought that their work was just a simple anti-sandbag, but after really seeing it, Jiang Feng found that anti-bun was just a pronoun, and no one was fighting sandbag at all - anti-sandbag was much easier than their work.

Xiujuan picked the sand, Tian Lin pulled the cart, and the two loads of sand were so full that Xiujuan couldn't even straighten her waist, she could only bend over and walk step by step, one trip at a time, without stopping.

Tian Lin's board car is loaded with stones, some are big and some are small, the road is uneven and all are steep slopes, Tian Lin pulled the board car to walk crookedly to prevent the board car from turning into the pit, stop and take a breath when you are tired, and when you are really tired, you will finish a trip to take a bowl to drink a bowl of water.

Tian Lin and Xiujuan were not at all conspicuous in the crowd, there were people everywhere, everyone was working, it was dusty, everyone's face was covered with sweat, and everyone's clothes were dirty. is different from the extras who do not work like a background board in film and television dramas, everyone here is really hard, the scorching sun is real, the sweat is real, the staggering steps are real, and the footprints left by everyone are also real.

For the first time, Jiang Feng felt the atmosphere of the working people.

It's really an atmosphere of labor, an atmosphere of guilt if you stop and sit next to it and feel out of place.

It's not dead, on the contrary, it's vibrant. Jiang Feng saw a lot of people like Xiujuan, who kept shouting tired, racing against time, staggering forward for that slightly slim hope.

The people worked until the sun was about to set, the scope of the dam was too wide, there were not so many lights, and the ground was full of scattered sand and gravel unevenness, and if they worked overtime at night, it was inevitable that some people would be injured and the gains outweighed.

As soon as Gong Tianlin packed up his things and rushed to Jiang's house—in fact, there was nothing left, just a pu fan, a handkerchief and an empty bowl for drinking water in the cloth bag.

Jiang's house was a little far away from where Tian Lin worked, and Jiang Feng felt that Tian Lin had already walked very fast, and he had walked for more than an hour, until it was almost dark. Jiang Feng had never seen the Jiang family's old house, and their family had already moved to the later house when he was born.

As soon as Tian Lin pushed the door, Jiang Feng felt an unprecedented visual impact.

Five models of big fat boys, from large to small, sat at the dining table and waited for the meal to start.

Jiang Feng can recognize his father very clearly, his father is estimated to have just entered elementary school at this time, not tall, and not particularly fat, but in this era of thin people on the street, he should be considered very fat, and he looks a little cute.

Jiang Jiankang faced the door, and when he saw Tian Lin coming back, he immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Mom, my cousin and sister-in-law are back, why don't we have dinner yet!"

"What's it called, your father's meat hasn't been cooked yet, you're the noisiest, you see how others don't make any noise, wait, the meat is out of the pot and you can start cooking." Grandma Jiang, who was already a middle-aged woman who was slightly chubby and lived to be what she wanted to be the most when she was young, walked out of the room, holding a rag in her hand, as if she was cleaning the room, "Tian Lin, there are two pots of boiling water in the toilet, you can take a bath with cold water by yourself, and you will be able to eat immediately." ”

"Okay third aunt. Tian Lin didn't dare to stay in the living room for a long time when she looked dirty, so she rushed into the toilet.

Jiang Feng looked around, the house was not big, there were only two rooms, there was a balcony but it was very small. There are two beds in one of the rooms, judging from the clutter of that room, this should be the room of Jiang Jiankang's five brothers, although the child is fat but still small, he can sleep in two beds.

The living room is divided into areas, the one connected to the kitchen has a dining table, and the other one is a simple small bed, Tian Lin should sleep here during this time. Grandma Jiang was cleaning the room, Jiang Jiankang, Jiang Jiandang and Jiang Jianguo, the three older boys, were drooling at the smell of meat, and Jiang Jianshe and Jiang Jianye were smelling the meat and eating their hands.

Jiang Feng entered the kitchen and took a look, the kitchen was not big, but the kitchenware was very complete. There are a few dishes in the corner, all of which are meat dishes without a little green, braised pig's trotters, pot wrapped meat, plum cabbage button meat and crucian carp tofu soup, and there is a braised pork in the pot and then it has reached the final stage, which can be called a whole meat feast.

Grandma Jiang came out of the room after wiping the cabinet, and saw several sons on the dining table without any interest, and said angrily: "One by one, they are like starving ghosts reincarnated, and they don't lack your food on weekdays, didn't they eat braised pork a few days ago? ”

Jiang Jianguo hurriedly wiped Jiang Jianjian's saliva with Jiang Jianjian's sleeve, anyway, he used his clothes to wipe it.

Grandma Jiang didn't see this scene, she went into the kitchen. The small kitchen became a little crowded after two people entered, and the old man also felt a little uncomfortable, and said, "What are you doing here, I just heard that Tian Lin came back." ”

"I'm back, I'm taking a shower, she's too tired from the work of the dam anti-bag, I guess she won't be able to wear this clothes when the dam is repaired. Grandma Jiang said.

The old man never cared about such trivial matters, and did not answer Grandma Jiang's words: "I heard today that the dam is expected to be completed next month. ”

"So fast. Grandma Jiang was taken aback, glanced outside, and whispered, "Can I get what I told you last time?" Zhuangshi, this kid's health is too poor, if Tian Lin can stay in the city, their family will be much better." During this time, you have also seen, although Tian Lin is a little lazy, but she is still serious in her work, and she is not a bad person, I asked her to live in our house, and she also handed over the monthly rice and additional subsidies to me to pay the rent and food. Doesn't the leader above often designate you to cook, so you just open your mouth and ask him if he can do it. ”

The old man glanced at the pot: "I inquired, this time the above is going to use this matter to erect a typical, and the three orders and five repetitions emphasized that the relationship is not allowed to go and the relationship is not allowed to be determined, don't think about it." ”

Grandma Jiang could only sigh and glance at the pot.

"By the way, did you add sugar to the braised pork today?"

Old man: ???

Jiang Feng read this topic from the old man's face, and it was inevitable that it would change too quickly.

"What's the point of sugaring?"

"It's delicious with sugar!" Grandma Jiang's voice suddenly became louder, "Today is Jiankang's birthday, Jiankang likes to eat sweet, braised pork must be sweetened! Jiankang this child has liked to eat sweet since he was a child, and when he is less than a year old and has few teeth, he can only eat a little thin paste, and he knows what to eat with the one you brought back from FJ, add sugar, hurry up, and if you don't add meat, it will be out of the pot." ”

Although the old man felt that what Grandma Jiang said was crooked, he still honestly added sugar to the braised pork that was about to come out of the pot, and let the braised pork simmer for a while, and it took a little more time to get out of the pot.

Grandma Jiang happily went out with the dishes, five dishes, all meat.

Tian Lin had already taken a shower and changed into clothes that she felt like, and when she saw Grandma Jiang coming out, she hurriedly stepped forward to help with the handle, but when the plate was served, Tian Lin looked at the meat on the plate and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

She has been living in the Jiang family these days, but she has not had a few meals with the Jiang family. Because she has to rush to work every day, she has always gone out early and returned late, and she never catches up with the meal, usually the old man gets up early the night or morning to steam a few steamed buns or make a few cakes for her, she takes it to eat while walking, and the rest is lunch. In the evening, Grandma Jiang left her some food, the rice was white rice, and the vegetables were also available, and it was impossible to leave some meat and broth.

There are five more children in the Jiang family, three of the big fat boys are the age of being able to eat, and the roast meat is a plate on weekdays, and the effort to serve it to the table is gone in the blink of an eye, and there is no broth left, as long as the old man does not hammer people, the brothers can lick the plate cleaner than their faces. The old man's policy of raising children has always been that it is a blessing to be able to eat, eat more if you can, and never deduct the deduction of the rope to cook the ration, which also leads to the fact that although he and Grandma Jiang's income is not low, he often goes out to earn extra money, but the Jiang family has never saved any money.

Eat it all.

This kind of advanced life pattern can be regarded as quite strange in this era when everyone shrinks their clothes and diets.

It's no wonder that the old man doesn't care, anyway, he lives very comfortably.

Tian Lin was stunned.

At first, she thought that Grandma Jiang specially asked her to come back early for dinner in the evening, saying that today was Jiang Jiankang's birthday, and the roast meat at home was roast meat, and it was a plate of meat.

In Tian Lin's opinion, it is already a luxury to burn a plate of meat just because the children in the family celebrate their birthdays, you must know that when she was not married, the family could eat meat during the New Year and the birthday of the elders, and she couldn't eat too much at one time. When I burned a plate of meat in the Chinese New Year's Eve, my family Tada Lin also got one or two pieces, and they were all lean meat that could not grab more fat and water. The rest is chopped into meat filling and cabbage mixed together to make dumplings, if there is more to make bacon, when the family is hungry for meat, put two pieces of bacon into the dish to mix with the meat flavor to relieve hunger.

Tian Lin suspected that she had worked too hard today and hallucinated, what did she see, she saw five large plates of meat!

Five large plates, all meat!

Tian Lin was a little afraid to move the chopsticks.

She didn't dare to move, Jiang Jiankang's five boys were not ambiguous, and when they came up, they pointed directly at the braised pig's trotters. Jiang Jianshe was the youngest, and he couldn't speak very clearly, and he couldn't hold the chopsticks steadily, and he also knew that he was holding the chopsticks and pointing to the braised pig's trotters and saying something vague and completely inaudible, so that Grandma Jiang would clip the pig's trotters for him to eat.

"Tian Lin, eat, if you don't move the chopsticks, this good meat will be taken away by these five boys in my family. Grandma Jiang thought that Tian Lin was embarrassed to stretch out her chopsticks and greeted.

"Thank you, Sangu. Tian Lin lowered her head and sandwiched a small piece of lean meat from the pig's trotters.

"You also like to eat lean meat, and so do my boys. Every time there is your uncle's unit in the factory, we both pick the thin ribs, and others always say that we carry forward the style. Grandma Jiang said with a smile.

Tian Lin nodded, she also felt that Grandma Jiang was carrying forward the style, every time she killed a pig, everyone rushed to pick up the big fat meat, the fat meat can be refined in oil, and it tastes fragrant, the ribs are all not wanted, and there is no way to pick them in the end, this is not a style to carry forward.

"Pork ribs are originally a good thing, I originally ......" The old man wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything.

Tian Lin stuffed the meat into her mouth, and was suddenly so shocked that she couldn't speak.

Jiang Feng is very familiar with this expression, Jiang Shoucheng was forced to eat vegetarian and lose weight by his second aunt Two months later, Jiang Shoucheng had this expression as soon as he ate meat, and his first reaction was that this was actually meat, and the meat was this taste, and then he was amazed at the chef's skills.

If a person starves for a long time and has no meat to eat for a year or two, he has to do physical work every day, and the stew handed down by the Zhao family is fragrant, and he may also eat it because the meat is fat and oily.

Tian Lin chewed it twice, and the meat was swallowed.

She felt that she didn't even taste the meat, it was her stomach that was so hungry for meat that urged her to swallow it, and she swallowed it.

"By the way, Tian Lin, did you eat stew when you got married? Grandma Jiang asked.

"Nope. Tian Lin shook her head, "Mom said that I would make stewed meat to eat during the New Year, make a big pot, and manage enough." ”

"Mom's stew is delicious, the meat is big and fat, every time it is cooked, it is a big pot, although our Zhao family has no money, but the stew for the New Year is absolutely not ambiguous! On the day I got married, my mother also made a pot of stew, and your uncle said it was delicious when he ate it. Grandma Jiang said that her eyebrows were fluttering.

Old man: ......

The old man's expression was a little indescribable.

"Unfortunately, stew is only made in Chinese New Year's Eve, and we married daughters can't eat it, and I haven't eaten it for many years." Tian Lin, this is our Zhao family's ancestral craft, you must follow your mother to learn hard during the Chinese New Year, don't lose this craft!" Grandma Jiang advised.

Jiang Feng: ......

Grandma, do you know what you've said!!

"Hmm!" Tian Lin nodded solemnly.

"Eat meat!" Grandma Jiang said proudly.

Tian Lin sandwiched a large piece of fatty braised pork and took a bite.

It's a little sweet.

Tian Lin thought to herself, is this what big meat feels like.

Delicious!

Jiang Feng began to be shrouded in mist and left his memory.
