Chapter 244 Chapter 244 Heavy Fog
The underground park covers a large area and has fresh air. The only drawback is that there are too many pedestrians.
The not-so-narrow sidewalk was bustling with pedestrians, and there wasn't a single piece of vacant ground visible to the naked eye. It seemed as if all the people in the shelter had come out in full force.
The two children had a lot of fun, and even played with some unfamiliar children of the same age, but Zhang Shuhui seemed a little unhappy.
She was like a possessed person, constantly recalling that scene, those touching black eyes, and that gentle call.
Since the shelter can build such a large underground park for people to visit, why can't it take care of those children who have lost the protection of their loved ones?
Although they seem to have food and shelter and live a worry-free life, orphans without anyone to protect them are bound to be bullied in normal times, let alone now when they are short of food and clothing.
How many children like this are there in the shelter?
He Junxia was also thinking about this question.
Individuals have limited power, and while ensuring the living conditions of themselves and their families, they can only help a few people at most.
To solve the problem from the root, it is up to the shelter management to formulate corresponding policies, otherwise these children will have no future.
"Grandpa, I'm hungry again."
Zong Yipeng, who was sweating profusely after running, grabbed He Junxia's hand pitifully. He only ate a small amount of roujiamo, which he digested after running and jumping for a while.
He Junxia searched her pockets and pulled out two nut chocolate cookies. These were the snacks she bought with Zong Yipeng at the convenience store a few months ago.
"Eat it, and give the other piece to your sister."
Although there are food stalls in the underground park, the prices are similar to those in scenic spots, so there is no need to be cheated.
Zong Yipeng is also easy to coax.
He grabbed two chocolate chip cookies and ran back to the group of kids, splitting the cookie into several pieces and giving them to his new friends.
He Junxia shook his head and sneered.
After playing for about an hour, both children were tired and the family went home.
“Hu…Hu…”
The child lying on He Junxia's shoulder slept with a regular pig-like sound and snored loudly, which made several adults laugh in unison.
Zhang Shuhui: "Oh, I should have brought my phone with me to record it for him."
She also holds a grudge in her heart.
Not only do they have to record it, but they also have to wait until Zong Yipeng wakes up and play it in front of him, asking him if he is ashamed.
Zhang Lingjia, who was originally squinting his eyes and feeling sleepy, suddenly widened his eyes and quietly covered his mouth with his hands.
Hey, she doesn’t want to be recorded snoring like her brother.
Zong Kangping laughed when he saw his daughter covering her mouth: "Don't be afraid, your mom didn't bring her phone, so she can't record it. Just sleep and snore without worry."
Zhang Shuhui: "Hahahaha."
Children also know to pay attention to their image.
Zhang Lingjia angrily buried her face in her father's arms, leaving the back of her head facing her mother.
He Junxia covered her lips and chuckled.
…
The first thing I did when I got home was to put my two sleepy children to bed.
Zong Kangping shook his hands quietly.
It's strange, why is it more difficult to hold a sleeping child?
Zhang Shuhui pretended not to see her husband's little tricks. Fans follow their idols, and daughters follow their fathers. It makes sense.
Zhang Shuhui smiled and said, "I'll go get some warm water outside so I can brush my teeth and wash my face. It's already past eight o'clock, so you should go to bed early too."
In the days when electricity bills are high and there is no online entertainment, most people's daily routines are forced to return to normal.
After Zhang Shuhui came back from washing up and wiped the two children with a towel wet with warm water, He Junxia found her and said, "Shuhui, I want to discuss something with you."
Zhang Shuhui was a little surprised, then smiled and said, "Dad, tell me, what's the matter?"
She wondered if her father-in-law felt that working on the construction site was too tiring and wanted to change to a part-time job. The two-shift work model was indeed not suitable for the elderly.
Even if my father-in-law can practice and has abilities beyond ordinary people, he still has to pay attention to his basic biological clock.
However, the following conversation was beyond her expectations.
Zhang Shuhui: "Dad, you mean to stop selling bean sprouts for now and wait and see how the shelter is doing before making any plans."
He Junxia nodded.
Zhang Shuhui pondered her father-in-law's words, which made perfect sense. Points were simply numbers, and the shelter could give out as many as they wanted. Food was the ultimate guarantee.
"Okay, I'll sell this pot the day after tomorrow and won't sell any more. I'll say there's a shortage of soybeans and they can't sprout."
"It just so happens that I'm also planning to find another part-time job."
If the farm only recruited male technicians and other female positions were not blatant office jobs, she would have given it a try too.
It's nice to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade. The benefits that the farm provides to workers during their internship are much better than those of various part-time jobs.
Alas, it’s so depressing.
He Junxia could probably guess Zhang Shuhui's worries and smiled, "I did a favor for the head of the cafeteria in Area A last time. He said he could let you work at the front desk, serving food. It's just that you won't have a regular position for now, but the benefits are the same as regular employees."
"I wonder if you'd like to go?"
Zhang Shuhui was startled. Before her brain could even think, her body reacted: "Of course I do."
Anyone who doesn't want to is a fool.
Being a food server in the cafeteria is a job that many people dream of - although the salary is not high, the work is easy and the benefits are good. I heard that the food that is not sold out in the evening can be taken home at a very low price.
However, my father-in-law actually has a connection with the senior manager of District A, so I'm afraid the help he can provide is not just a small favor.
Zhang Shuhui thought so but did not ask any further questions.
Although my father-in-law became a little strange and mysterious after the fog appeared, one thing is beyond doubt: everything he did was for the good of their small family and their two children.
If that's the case, why bother digging into the matter? We're all adults, and everyone has some little secrets.
He Junxia: "Okay, I'll go see Manager He tomorrow and discuss getting you a more relaxed stall."
Just as Zhang Shuhui thought.
He Junxia's relationship with this senior manager was not simply a small favor. Instead, he used his profound power to help him and his mother alleviate the headaches they had suffered for many years, and informed them that there was a chance of recovery.
It was even the other party who took the initiative to arrange a job for Zhang Shuhui, and guaranteed that she could go through the process of becoming a regular employee after 30 days of internship.
However, no one can predict what will happen in the future, so He Junxia did not say the latter part of this sentence to avoid Zhang Shuhui's expectations in vain.
"By the way, if I go to work, what will happen to Pengpeng and Jiajia?"
The cafeteria in Area A on the sixth basement floor is bustling with activity, and it's easy to get separated from your companions if you're not careful. There's always hot food, soup, and rice in the cafeteria, and children love to run around, so getting burned is a real hassle.
There was no way she could bring her child to work.
He Juanxia: "I'll take care of the two children."
As for the construction site, he doesn't plan to go there again.
Firstly, the two children are young and have no one to take care of them. Secondly, adequate sleep and a normal schedule are the lowest-cost ways for the human body to repair itself.
His task was to see his two children grow up, but he couldn't ruin his health and die before his business venture was halfway completed.
In this way, the worries are solved.
Zhang Shuhui said gratefully, "Dad, thank you for your hard work. If Pengpeng and Jiajia have bad tempers, you don't have to indulge them. You should spank them and scold them when necessary."
Her father-in-law is a responsible man, so she feels at ease leaving the two children with him.
However, the development of the matter was far more unexpected and without any signs than everyone had guessed.
I thought there would at least be a gradual stage, but I never expected that the emergence of shocking bad news would be like a torpedo exploding underwater, disrupting the plans of countless people.
The shelter converted from the Third Primary School was breached.
Chaos, panic, blood...that bloody night became a horrible nightmare that countless people will never forget.
At the same time, several other shelters built on the ground were also in danger of being hit by heavy rain and floods, just like the buildings at the foot of the mountain.
Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, or maybe the next second, a mudslide will come and swallow up the buildings at the foot of the mountain along with the people living in them.
Underground air-raid shelters suddenly became the safest shelters.
There was a constant influx of people every day. The shelter's total population had long exceeded its maximum capacity, daily food consumption had doubled, and incidents of fighting and brawls had surged...
Even though the leadership of the underground shelter has tried hard to prepare in advance and maintain order in the shelter as much as possible, they are still powerless and problems are inevitable in small aspects.
The orphan placement measures that were only recently put on the agenda have naturally been put on hold.
