There were four of them and they lived in two houses. The house is door-to-door, all of them are two-bedroom and one-living room, and one person lives in one room. The kitchen stove was still there, and they bought a can of gas, a few pots, and they could cook. By night, the entire building had lost power and was pitch black, except for the two houses where they lived with a bright glow, which came from the batteries they had bought.

One day, three uninvited guests came to the construction site, they were Hu Kehao, a counselor majoring in applied physics, Zhang Xiaoqiang, secretary of the Youth League, and Tang Meng, majoring in civil engineering. Zhang Xiaoqiang and Tang Meng joined the journalists' association of U City Polytechnic University. The president of the journalists' association did not know what to smoke, so he arranged for its members to go to the grassroots level, to conduct social surveys in all walks of life, and to write a documentary investigation report. If you can't complete the task, you can't pass the assessment at the end of the year, and you will have to re-select the members in the next year.

Zhang Xiaoqiang and Tang Meng were in a group, and they had to work with each other to complete the investigation report. Zhang Xiaoqiang joined the journalists' association just to mix up an experience, and he did not have a sense of professional mission as a journalist, he did not want to do field investigations, and said to Tang Meng: "The president of the journalists' association really regards himself as an 'uncrowned king' reporter!" So many news media practitioners have not reflected the real situation of the migrant workers, what can we nondescript 'journalists' investigate? ”

"Although the president has a convulsive mind and wants to make a come, we should still take this matter seriously, maybe we can really find something." Tang Meng was meticulous in the learning process, and he is now serious about club activities.

"This president usually has a big shelf and is full of officialdom, he probably initiated this activity to make some 'political achievements', and his mind is full of political achievements at a young age, and it seems that he will be a big man in the future!" Zhang Xiaoqiang said with a slight mockery.

"A lot of associations don't really do anything but a few symbolic meetings. The journalists' association wants to make a difference, right? ”

"In my opinion, 'if you do nothing, you will do nothing', and if you do nothing, you will rule the world. All of this is a fool's errand, which will affect our learning. I think it's better to find some information directly on Baidu and piece together a survey report! Anyway, no one is watching, no one cares! You go to great lengths to write it out, and they just throw it in the garbage for you! Zhang Xiaoqiang said.

"I don't think that's right!" Tang Meng is studying civil engineering, and plans to go deep into his father's construction site to investigate their living and working conditions, so that more people can understand and care about this group.

Zhang Xiaoqiang agreed with Tang Meng's opinion. Hu Kehao learned about this incident, and on the one hand, he actively encouraged them to participate in school club activities, and on the other hand, he was worried that it would be unsafe for the two of them to go to the construction site. Zhang Xiaoqiang is the secretary of the Youth League in Hu Kehao's class, and Tang Meng is his fellow countryman, Hu Kehao did not dare to take it lightly, and personally took them to the construction site.

That day was Saturday, and with Tang Ao's help, they interviewed and investigated a number of migrant workers, and obtained a lot of information, which was more than enough to complete the investigation report. Fortunately, there was Tang Ao's recommendation, otherwise, the migrant workers would have driven away these "reporters" who were pretentious, idle, had nothing to do, and watched people's jokes.

At the end of the interview, Tang Ao said: "Go back quickly!" The construction site is not the place for you! ”

"Our investigation is not over yet. Anyway, it's the weekend, and we want to go deep into your lives and eat and stay with you for two days. Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't want to come to the construction site to do the investigation at first, but later held a class meeting to learn some document policies, and his sense of social responsibility as a party member suddenly increased, and he deeply understood the meaning of "no investigation, no right to speak", and strengthened his confidence in the interview and investigation.

"Safety first! There are safety regulations on the construction site, not that you can work if you want to, who is responsible for a safety accident? Tang Ao knew that they were very motivated with a passion, and he couldn't find a reason to convince them for a while, so he suddenly thought of the word "security" with a veto, and wanted to dismiss their idea with this.

"That's it, we'll cook for you at night!" Zhang Xiaoqiang said.

"How can this be? Experience life doesn't have to be here! Go back to school and don't delay your studies! Tang Ao didn't expect them to take it seriously.

"We're tired of eating the big pot of dishes at school, so it's time to change the taste at night."

Tang Ao couldn't help it, so he had to agree to their request. Hu Kehao still has things to deal with at school, and it is inconvenient to stay at the construction site for too long. He promised to come over and have dinner with them in the evening.

Zhang Xiaoqiang and Tang Meng turned a few streets and came to a vegetable market, located on a very old street. There are rice shops, grain and oil stores on the street, and the signs look old. All kinds of shouting, bargaining, chickens, ducks and geese cries came and went. There were fish killers in the streets, emitting a strong fishy smell, and the scales and internal organs of the fish were thrown aside by the vendors, and the bloody sewage flowed sideways. Compared to the mystical theories they learned, the vegetable market here is so close to the earth and the fireworks of the world.

"What do they like to eat your father?" Zhang Xiaoqiang asked.

"They eat everything, but they don't have time to cook or are too lazy to cook, so many times they buy some braised pork and go back to drink." Tang Meng replied.

There are several braised meat shops in the vegetable market, including "Ziyan Baiwei Chicken", "Zhou Black Duck", "Juewei Duck" and other braised meat shops, and there are many braised meat shops that are named by themselves, not the kind of chain stores. There are all kinds of lo-mei in the store: pork head meat, pig ears, pig tongue, beef, roast chicken, roast duck, roast goose, pickled pepper chicken feet, braised chicken feet, spicy dried tofu, spicy rabbit head, spiced dried tofu...... Wait, it's a mouthful.

"Handsome guy, what to buy?" A guy asked.

"This roast chicken is good, and there are pig ears, and the wine is delicious, so let's have a little." Tang Meng said.

"I've heard that many chickens sold in vegetable markets are made from dead or sick chickens, bought at a low price and sold at a high price. Zhang Xiaoqiang asked.

When the young man heard this, he slashed the knife on the cutting board, and instead of saying chicken, he taught them a lesson: "You are really two children who are not deeply involved in the world!" How can anyone speak like that? Hurry up and grind off these edges and corners on your body, otherwise you will be hit on the head and bleed in society! ”

"Big brother, I'm kidding you! Your braised pork here is very fragrant! Zhang Xiaoqiang said.

They bought braised meat, and then they went to buy pork, beef, fish, and all kinds of spices. Walking out of the vegetable market, there is a horizontal road, and next to the road is a stinky river. There is a drainage ditch in the market that leads directly to this stinky river, and it is estimated that the stains in the drainage ditch have not been treated in any way. There was a layer of foam floating on top of the river, and there were a lot of plastic pockets. There are weeping willows on the side of the riverbank, and garbage cans are placed at short distances. The garbage and rotten vegetable leaves from the vegetable market are piled up high and messy next to the garbage cans.

Night had fallen, and they returned from the wet market to the downstairs of the lodging room to be demolished. The residents have long since moved, and the surroundings are quiet and unpopular. The building is like an old man in the wind and rain, and his days are running out, and in the near future it will be razed to the ground and replaced by another tall building.

Zhang Xiaoqiang's cooking skills are very good, and he made five hot dishes and three cold dishes. After Hu Kehao finished handling the relevant official business, he came here to eat and communicate with them as scheduled. Tang Meng's experience of this day was very deep, he studied civil engineering, and he will often come into contact with architecture, drawings, and construction sites in the future. In order to turn the drawings into real high-rise buildings, the workers have endured a lot of hard work.

"Zhang Xiaoqiang worked hard tonight! Cook so many delicious things for us guys! With your cooking skills, you will definitely marry a beautiful wife in the future! You eat a little more! One of the workers, surnamed Liu, said.

"The braised beef is delicious! Braised beef is also delicious! Everyone unanimously praised Zhang Xiaoqiang's superb cooking skills.

The master surnamed Liu has good teeth, the beef in his mouth is chewing creakingly, two glasses of white wine are in his stomach, and his face is flushed. Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the master surnamed Liu in a daze, and the beef was brought to his mouth with a pair of chopsticks and did not move, with a weird smile on his face. Tang Ao ate a few more times, and found that Zhang Xiaoqiang had been in that position motionless, felt strange, and screamed, but Zhang Xiaoqiang did not answer. Tang Ao shook his hands in front of his eyes, and his eyes didn't react at all.

"Lao Liu, Lao Liu! Eat as much as a cow! Eat an old sow and don't look up! Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly said such a nonsensical sentence, puffed out his cheeks, and made a sound of "porphyry porphyry......", and then his eyes were straight, his mouth foamed, and he fell to the ground.

Hu Kehao was frightened, he didn't know what illness Zhang Xiaoqiang had, and quickly sent him to the hospital.

"Maybe he's hit the devil!" The master surnamed Liu said.
