Tian Shao remembered that everyone in the dormitory talked about Xu Lina yesterday, and she had heard this name from Li Aihua before: "Sister Aihua, I heard that Xu Lina from the Propaganda Department went to study in the district?" ”

Li Aihua said disdainfully: "Yes, she goes every year, but after studying for three years, I haven't found any progress in her." I'll tell you, the only thing she can do is write well. But compared to you, it's far behind. ”

Tian Shao felt that maybe this girl had no talent in this area.

Closed on Saturdays. He Guoqing knew that Tian Shao's family was far away, and considering that she didn't have a bicycle and it was unsafe for a girl's family to walk at night, he asked her to get off work an hour early.

Tian Shao hesitated and asked, "Section Chief, I'm just here, will it affect me if I go home early?" ”

He Guoqing said with a smile: "This is also for your safety, and others know that there is nothing to say." But only this time, next time let your family pick you up. ”

If you always go back in advance, it will definitely not work, and this special reason will be understood even if the factory leaders know. After all, it happened not long ago, so you have to be careful.

Tian Shao thanked him happily, then went back to the dormitory to pack his things and went to the state-run meal. Walking into the meal, a pungent aroma hit Tian Shao. Tian Shao, who was not hungry, instantly growled in his stomach.

Walking to the counter, Tian Shao said to the eldest sister inside, "Sister Chu, bring me two servings of braised pork." ”

There are six people in the family, and it is estimated that each person can only get two or three pieces of meat for a braised pork, and it is not enjoyable to eat.

The eldest sister of the waiter surnamed Chu is a relative of Li Aihua's grandmother: "Comrade Tian, why did you come alone this time, why didn't Aihua come?" ”

Tian Shao said with a smile: "Sister Aihua is still working. I was going back to the countryside, and the leader was afraid that it would be unsafe to go back too late, so I was asked to leave work an hour early. ”

Sister Chu leaned in front of the counter and said with a smile: "I thought you knew in advance that we had invited the master chef to come to cook the dishes!" ”

Without waiting for Tian Shao to speak, Sister Chu smiled and said: "It's also your girl who has a good mouth, this Master Nan's father used to be an imperial chef, and what he is best at is this braised pork." ”

The descendants of the imperial chef had never eaten the dishes in their previous lives, and Tian Shao also felt that he was lucky.

"Girl, you want two braised pork for a total of two yuan and two cents, and a pound of food stamps."

Even if you have to attach half a catty of food stamps, this is too expensive, no wonder these villagers don't dare to come here. However, the taste was so gluttonous, Tian Shao still reluctantly took out the money and food.

Because the dish was not ready, the eldest sister chatted with Tian Shao: "Comrade Tian, you shouldn't be too old, right?" ”

Looking at the face is so tender, definitely not under the age of twenty.

Tian Shao felt that this period of time was too old to reach the hurdle of age, and she said with a smile: "I will be seventeen years old next month." ”

The eldest sister was a little surprised, but soon asked: "I thought you were eighteen or nineteen, but I didn't expect that you were not yet seventeen, so you shouldn't have decided to marry at such a young age, right?" ”

Tian Shao really wanted to say that I am not familiar with you, but she knows that there is no secret in such a small place in the county, and if she dares to throw face at this eldest sister, not only can she not buy braised pork now, but in a few days the people in the factory will spread that she has no one in her eyes.

Tian Shao showed a professional smile and said, "It's decided, but then it was quickly withdrawn because of a misunderstanding." ”

The eldest sister's surname Chu was a little disappointed when she heard this, but the nature of gossip still made her continue to ask: "What misunderstanding?" ”

"I went into the water to save people, but my father and mother mistakenly thought that I was dissatisfied with the marriage and committed suicide by throwing myself into the river, so I went to the man's house before I woke up."

After hearing this, Sister Chu thought for a moment, and then showed an incredible expression: "You can't be the girl from the Red Flag Club who dived into the water to save people, right?" ”

She only knows Tian Shao's nickname, and she doesn't know her name.

"Yes, that's me."

Tian Shaoxin said that she was wrong, it was not that the county was too small and there were no secrets, but that the entire county was small and had no secrets.

Sister Chu couldn't understand it: "Your father and mother promised you to an old widower with three children for three hundred and sixty yuan?" What do they think? ”

"Did you buy this braised pork for them to eat? You are so filial, you don't even hold a grudge against the beginning. ”

Tian Shao didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the latter sentence had a tentative tone. After thinking about it, she said: "My family is poor, the other party has a job, my father and mother think that the other party is older but does not have to work in the field, and they can eat and wear well in the future, and they are also good for me." But it was also this incident that stimulated the textile factory I was admitted to. After this, my father and mother promised that I would make my own decisions in the future, and they would not interfere. ”

The older elder sister likes to be a matchmaker a little bit, and the eldest sister Chu is one of the best, she asked with great interest: "Then what kind of do you want to find?" ”

Although this girl has quit her family, she is still more popular if she has a job and looks good.

Tian Shao shook his head and said: "I don't have this mind now, I just want to work hard, and I will talk about marriage after I am twenty years old." Anyway, I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry. ”

She suddenly felt that Zhao Xiaorou always had a cold face, and she probably didn't want to be asked to be a matchmaker. If it's relatives and friends, it's too exaggerated to want to be a matchmaker after only meeting twice.

Fortunately, at this time, the cook brought the dishes up. This time, there are fewer braised pork, and half of the vegetable bowl is not full, but the color is golden and attractive, and it is still steaming. The rich and tangy fragrance made Tian Shao can't help but swallow his saliva.

Tian Shao picked up the dishes and walked out quickly with greed.

Seeing her fleeing, the chef who served the dishes said with a smile: "What's the matter, the old problem scared the little girl away again?" ”

Sister Chu gave her a blank look, and then served the next guest.

When she left the state-run hotel, Tian Shao forgot about this unpleasant clip, but the meat was so fragrant that it not only attracted the frequent attention of passers-by, but she herself was drooling. When she got to a place where there was no one, she couldn't help but grab a piece to eat, and her eyes lit up when she bit it. This braised pork is fat but not greasy, the taste is slightly sweet, and the entrance is soft and melts, which is really a rare delicacy.

After eating three pieces in a row, Tian Shao said to himself: "It is worthy of being a descendant of the imperial chef, and the dishes he makes are delicious." ”

Although there is little oil and water here, I am not hungry for meat like this. Tian Shao decided to wait for work to ask Li Aihua about this chef, and he would have the opportunity to go to his state-run restaurant in the future.

When she got home, as soon as Siya saw her, she greeted her and asked, "Sister, what delicious food did you bring back?" ”

Without waiting for Tian Shao to speak, Li Guihua poked her forehead and scolded: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat all day long." But if you put this mind on work, you will not only get three jobs. ”

Siya said with a bitter face: "Mother, the hoe is too heavy to carry." ”

Tian Shao frowned when he heard this and asked, "Isn't Siya beating pigweed?" Why are you working in the fields now? ”

Li Guihua snorted coldly and said: "Some people are angry with us, shouting that you can support the family by entering the factory now to get a salary, and you can't take advantage of all the benefits." Because there were so many people, the captain gave the work of threshing pigweed and herding cattle to other children. ”

When Tian Shao heard this, he felt that he would act more cautiously in the future, so as not to be targeted and reported. However, this occasion is obviously not suitable for saying this, she diverted the topic and said with a smile: "Mother, didn't you say last time that the state-run restaurant made braised pork and asked me to take a copy back for my father and a few younger sisters to taste?" It happened to happen today, so I called two copies back. ”

Hearing that there was meat to eat, Siya jumped up happily.

Although Li Guihua said this personally, when she saw the two lunch boxes full of meat, she still blamed her distressedly: "How much did you spend here?" ”

Tian Shao was afraid that Li Guihua would not be able to sleep at night, so she didn't say anything, she smiled: "Mother, this time the state-run hotel invited a master chef to cook, this taste is amazing." ”

After speaking, he picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into Li Guihua's mouth.

Li Guihua, who originally wanted to ask the price, didn't say a word after eating the meat, and immediately asked Siya to get a bowl to divide the meat. The five sisters shared a share, and the one that was moved by Tian Shao was eaten by Li Guihua and Tian Dalin.

The amount of vegetables in the family is the largest, not that Li Guihua is biased towards her husband, but that Tian Dalin works a lot and consumes a lot.

When Tian Dalin saw the meat in a few bowls on the table, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Osmanthus, divide half of the meat in the lunch box to the children." ”

Li Guihua shook her head and said: "In charge, the family has been your hardest in the past few years, and it is rare to buy such delicious braised pork, you can eat more." ”

After living for almost 40 years, it is the first time that I know that braised pork is so delicious, and I feel like I have lived in vain before.

Tian Shao felt that this was more moving than any love words.
