"His name is Gu Zhu. From now on, just call him Little Bamboo."

Little Zhuzi had remembered her name so well after being called out by Gu Dong. Upon hearing that, she immediately looked up at her sister and shook her big head as if asking, "What do you want me to do?"

Gu Chun was touched again. How could this child be so cute?

The factory manager also saw it and liked the child very much.

"Little Bamboo, you're so smart. You know your name is Little Bamboo."

"Dong'er also likes this name. I kept calling him that yesterday. He's heard it so many times that he probably knows it's his name."

Coming out of the factory director's office, Gu Chun couldn't help laughing at the director's auntie smile towards Xiao Zhuzi.

Her little Zhuzi is the cutest child in the world, and everyone who sees him will like him.

I carried the child to a workshop and found the person in charge, Sister Fang.

"Sister Fang, I'm Gu Chun, and I'm here to report to the workshop today."

Fang Wen, who was inspecting the workers' work, also recognized Gu Chun and walked over to him and said, "Gu Chun, I know your mother used to work in the same workshop. Has everything been arranged for your family?"

"It's arranged, but my brother still needs some daycare. Can you take me to see the place?" The original person was not very familiar with the textile factory because he seldom came to the textile factory when he was still boarding at school.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

The nursing area is not far from the workshop, located in a building between the office building and the workshop. It was set up by the factory specifically for female employees to breastfeed their children in time.

I have to say that factories of this era are really humane.

As soon as we entered the after-school care area, we saw several women in their thirties and forties taking care of children. These were family members of factory employees, hired by the textile factory to help take care of the children.

Look at these children, there are about seven or eight of them, all of them are young. The oldest is only three years old and will be sent to the factory’s red education class next year. The youngest is less than one year old and is about the same age as Xiaobao.

The person in charge of the custodial area is called Li Li. She has short hair that reaches her ears. She looks neat and tidy, which makes people feel good about her.

After listening to Fang Wen's introduction, Li Li said to Gu Chun with a smile: "Comrade Gu Chun, you can leave your brother here today. You can come and take him away after get off work at noon. If you don't plan to take the child away at noon, you have to leave the child's rations behind."

"Teacher Li, I understand. I'll come take Xiaobao home at noon. I'll bring his milk powder over in the afternoon. Could you please help me feed him around 3 or 4 pm?"

Because his home is close, Gu Chun is worried about his children, so of course he has to go home at noon.

After agreeing on the issue of Xiao Zhuzi's custody, Gu Chun put the sleeping child down and covered him with one of her clothes, fearing that he would be scared when he woke up and hoping that the clothes could comfort him.

Fang Wen took Gu Chun back to the workshop and gave her two sets of work clothes.

The work clothes of female workers in textile factories are a gray work suit inside, a white apron outside, and a white hat. This is to prevent cotton wool from sticking to clothes when spinning.

The workers in the textile mill, mostly women, all wore the same uniforms and stood beside the huge textile machines, which were covered with white yarn. The scene was quite spectacular.

The noise of the machine is also very loud, and basically two people talking cannot hear each other.

Looking at this scene, Gu Chun's heart was beating fast. Could she really do this job? She had to stand all day, with all the noise in her ears, and still have to concentrate on the spindle.

Gu Chun is a person who can endure hardships. Since she has had no one to rely on since childhood, she will do part-time jobs whenever she has time. There is no dirty or tiring work that she cannot do.

What's more, this job is what many people dream of. In this era, it is such an honor to be a female worker in a textile factory, with high salary and a stable job.

Fang Wen found a teacher for Gu Chun, an aunt named Liu Fang who was about the same age as her mother.

Liu Fang knew Gu Chun's mother Lin Yun, and they had gone home from get off work together before, so she was very enthusiastic towards Gu Chun and taught her work very seriously.

After studying for the whole morning, Gu Chun understood even more clearly how difficult this job was.

At this time, textile factories worked according to the fine spinning method, which required less loss, higher output, and faster speed.

The female workers are enthusiastic and compete with each other in their work every day. Only when you are among them can you feel their love for their work.

Gu Chun couldn't love her work as much as they did, but her attitude towards life was that if she did something, she had to do it well. That's why in her previous life, she insisted on studying hard no matter how difficult it was and got admitted to a prestigious university.

After a morning of teaching, Liu Fang was very satisfied with Gu Chun. She learned very quickly and believed that she would be able to get the hang of it soon. As expected, as a high school student, she was smarter.

If Gu Chun knew what she was thinking, she would have to tell him that she had been admitted to university.

At noon, Gu Chun took Xiao Zhuzi home. It was the first day for the two children to go back to school, and she wanted to go back to check on them.

Before going back, she went to the cafeteria and got a serving of braised pork. The food in the factory cafeteria was delicious and the meals were subsidized. A serving of braised pork only cost fifty cents.

Gu Chun has the thinking of people in later generations. She is not frugal with money. She wants her family to eat well and her children to have sufficient nutrition so that they can be healthy. After all, health is the capital of revolution.

When they got home, Gu Xia and Gu Qiu had already cooked rice and fried some cabbage. Gu Chun had bought the cabbage yesterday. Unlike in the countryside, they didn't have a place to grow vegetables, so they had to buy them. That's why some people say that city dwellers live worse than rural dwellers these days.

The little girl Gu Dong was the happiest when she saw her come back with braised pork.

"Big sister, we have meat to eat again. Why am I so happy?"

Gu Dong took a deep breath of the braised pork, his expression intoxicated, which made people laugh.

"Okay, okay, stop playing tricks, wait for me to make some milk powder for Xiao Zhuzi and then we'll start eating."

"Sister, I'm done. I'll feed my little brother." Gu Qiu felt that his elder sister was very tired from work, so he quickly took Xiao Zhuzi to feed her.

Gu Chun was very relieved that her sister cared so much about her. Although she was the head of the family, she didn't want to be the nanny of the whole family. They had to do what they could at home, and she would never stop them.

The family sat around the dinner table. Gu Dong was busy eating the braised pork. It was obvious that she was a foodie.

Seeing that Gu Qiu was so busy feeding Xiao Zhuzi that he didn't have time to eat, Gu Xia took his younger brother over to feed him and told his younger sister to eat quickly.

After taking two bites of food, Gu Chun began to care about his younger siblings.

"How was school today for you two? Are you still keeping up?"

"Fortunately, I have reviewed everything the teacher taught today, so there is no problem." Gu Qiu replied

Gu Xia also smiled and nodded to her sister to indicate that it was okay.

After swallowing a mouthful of rice, Gu Dong quickly protested to his sister.

"Big sister, school is not fun at all. I'm hiding under my second sister's desk. It's so boring. I don't want to go this afternoon."
