Mountain Road - Sichuan Women Workers
Labor is the most beautiful scenery
My dear, I can't accompany you to go for a walk tonight, nor can I accompany you to watch the square dance. I know, a busy day you, but also how much you want to talk to me about the words of infatuation.
You have asked me, what is the most beautiful scenery in the city?
I won't tell you how bright the neon lights are in the city.
I won't tell you how busy the downtown area is with all the traffic. I'm not going to tell you how spectacular the buildings are that are soaring into the clouds. I'll just tell you a little bit about them.
In the summer heat, stained with steel rust hands, brush off the cheeks and sweat sticky hair, unintentionally leaving a rust mark on the face.
In winter, snowflakes have fallen on the powder, but they are not aware of it, hands on the mouth, haha gas rubbing frozen chapped hands, still waving the shovel in the hand, stirring up the frozen hard mud ......
Perhaps, you can not find them have any different beauty. I believe that at that moment, they must be the most beautiful. With you thousands of miles away, I seem to be able to hear your feisty voice: I've been with you for almost a lifetime, and I've never seen you write about me.
I saw her shaking the basket on her shoulder while watering, coaxing and abetting the crying children in the basket.
I saw her on the scaffolding agile, skillful dismantling steel mold pipe, work like a man as tough.
I saw that after a busy day, she came back from the construction site, laundry and cooking, the same is a day of work, but also to take care of her husband.
Home on the shoulders
Some people have said that the women of Sichuan are gourmet home, will do a handful of good food, not worse than the flavor of the restaurant, this I believe. Because they are busy outside of work, to make the flavor of home.
There is a Sichuan couple on the site, every day to and from work, the man carries a tool, the woman is carrying a large basket. The basket is almost as tall as her body, and the mouth of the basket is wrapped tightly with a floral cloth.
Once, while riding in the elevator, I tried to see what was in the basket, and the woman hurriedly avoided it, saying to me with a smile, "There's no good cooked food in there, but if there is, I'll save it for you." I asked her, "Isn't the basket heavy? Don't you get tired of carrying it every day?"
She laughed: "This is our home! We are at home wherever we go."
Until noon, she put the gas block simple yard into a side table, and then took out the basket, lifted the flowery cloth, and took out the rice cooker, kettle, vegetables, bacon, etc., one by one on the "dining table", and made their own lunch.
I asked: "There is a restaurant outside the construction site, how easy it is to have a meal!
She said: "They do not fit our tastes, only their own hands to do the most flavorful food."
After chatting, I learned that they usually go to the market after work to buy the ingredients, put them in the basket, and then bring them to the construction site to cook.
Just want to hear the child call a mother
Out of the women who work outside, sometimes feel that they are hard-hearted. The first thing you need to do is to leave your son at home, and you don't want to be attached to the old man at home. No, they just put the home of the tenderness masked in the depths of the heart. They feel that life is not easy. If there is a better choice, who wants to leave home, leave home alone, out to suffer?
I remember once, in a female worker called Yanzi home guest, the so-called home is also a temporary rental house, construction site housing tension, generally do not allow couples to share a room. After dinner, there was no time to clean up the table. Her parents from her hometown sent a video chat, Yan Zi side of the camera to ask a burst of warmth: "Your two old body is good? Lack of money, give me a word, payroll I will play to the home, Xiaoyong obedient? How are the grades ......"
The camera side of the two boys have long been unable to resist, scrambling to talk to his mother. "Ya! A few months have not seen, taller, at home to grandparents words, do understand the child ......"
Said said to seize the door out, a moment, Yanzi back, red eyes.
"What happened to you?"
"Nothing, out for a long time, would love to hear the little child called a mother."
She scrambled to wipe away the tears in the corners of her eyes, while cleaning up the table and dishes. The first thing I did was to ask my husband to entertain his friends with a cup of tea and a game of bridge.
I thought I heard someone say, "Hey!
Yes, that's right. This is the real life of people living at the bottom of society. The hardship of millions of workers, in order to live, in order to the next generation can not be as humble as their hard work, in the face of the future full of unknown, and then far away from the road can be stepped on the foot, and then the heavy burden will be picked up on the shoulders!
