[A heartwarming story about raising a child, with details about family life. The heroine is not a stepmother, but a biological mother.]
In 1985, just after the Spring Festival, the labor market was crowded with people. At a glance, it was a sea of black people and a bustling crowd. Migrant workers gathered under a big tree to ask each other about jobs and wait for recruitment.
On the other side, the girls who went out to work were also waiting for recruitment. In the gray crowd, a girl with long hair was particularly eye-catching and out of tune with the others.
The girl was about 1.68 meters tall, with long black hair draped behind her head. She was wearing a khaki coat and a black turtleneck sweater.
She had a big red scarf around her neck, covering half of her face, leaving only a pair of beautiful eyes.
She wore a pair of tight black jeans, showing off her straight and slender legs, a pair of black Martin boots on her feet, and was dragging a large black suitcase in her hand.
The girl's name is Gu Zhinian, she is 21 years old and she comes from the 21st century. During the Spring Festival holiday, she packed her luggage and took a train to Lhasa for a trip. When she woke up from a nap on the train, she found that she had returned to the 1980s.
Now she has no household registration and no diploma, and is an illegal resident. If she wants to survive, she can only find a job in the labor market. Jobs here do not require diplomas or household registration.
Gu Zhinian pressed her flat belly hard with her small hands. She hadn't eaten for a whole day. She had eaten all the bread and biscuits in the suitcase yesterday, and even drank up all the water. She was hungry and tired, and wanted to have a full meal and then have a good sleep.
Gu Zhinian was so hungry that she felt dizzy. She swore that if anyone gave her a meal, she would be willing to work like a slave for him. She was so hungry that her stomach kept rumbling.
Gu Zhinian looked around and decided to find a job today. If she didn’t work and earn money, she would starve to death!
"Excuse me, are you looking for a job?"
A cold and deep male voice sounded from above her head. Gu Zhinian looked up and saw a tall man in a military coat standing in front of her.
The man was about 1.85 meters tall, with a handsome face, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and thin lips. Yun Muye saw the girl's very familiar eyes and his pupils shrank.
"Ah! Yes, it's me!" Gu Zhinian nodded. "What kind of job is it? I'm very strong and can do anything."
"I'm looking for a nanny to look after my child. I want her to live at home, stay with the baby all the time, cook for the baby, and do the laundry. Is that possible?"
"Yes, but will you take care of my meals?"
Gu Zhinian looked at him eagerly, and Yun Muye nodded, "I'll take care of it. I'll provide food and accommodation, and I'll give you a salary of 35 yuan per month."
"Great! I'll do it. I promise to raise your baby to be plump and white."
Gu Zhinian was worried about having no place to live, but now the problem is solved!
She raised her slender hand to tuck her hair behind her ears, pulled down her scarf, revealing a delicate oval face, her lips curved in a smile, her eyebrows like crescent moons, and her eyes full of autumn water.
"Come with me!" Yun Muye led the way, leading her to a military off-road vehicle, and lifted her suitcase and put it on the vehicle.
"Get in the car!"
Gu Zhinian got in the car, put his hands on his legs, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look around. Yun Muye drove the car for about an hour and stopped in front of a gate.
Gu Zhinian looked up and saw that they were at the entrance of the army. Yun Muye and the guards were saluting each other. The gate was opened and the car slowly drove into the army.
The car stopped in front of the family compound, Yun Muye got out and opened the door.
"We're home, come down!"
Gu Zhinian got out of the car holding the door, turned around to take the luggage, but was carried away by a pair of strong arms.
"Let me do it!"
Yun Muye strode upstairs carrying the suitcase, and Gu Zhinian followed obediently behind him. When they reached the third floor, Yun Muye opened the door and moved aside.
"Come in."
Gu Zhinian walked into the house nervously. A middle-aged woman came over holding a baby about two or three years old.
The baby had soft hair, a chubby white face like a meat bun, and big eyes like black grapes, with tears in them. When he saw Yun Muye, he pouted and whimpered in grievance.
On a cold day, the middle-aged woman was sweating profusely.
"Oh my! Captain Yun, you're finally back. This little ancestor has been crying since you left. I've tried everything, but I just can't stop crying!"
"Please help me look after the child, Mrs. Zhou."
Yun Muye put down his luggage, took off his military coat, rubbed his hands to warm them up, then took the child in his arms skillfully, patting him gently.
As soon as the baby was in his father's arms, he stopped crying immediately, lying on his shoulder, looking at Gu Zhinian curiously.
Gu Zhinian stood by, listening to Yun Muye and Mrs. Zhou chatting,
"Mrs. Zhou, these are the peanuts I picked on the mountain a few days ago. Please give them to the child."
"No way, no! No way!" Mrs. Zhou refused. Yun Muye put a bag of peanuts in her arms.
"Take it. Just think of it as a thank you, Mrs. Zhou, for taking care of my child during this time."
Mrs. Zhou took the peanuts embarrassedly and said, "Then I won't be polite."
"fine."
Mrs. Zhou turned to look at Gu Zhinian, "Oh, this is the child's mother! Look at her eyes, they are exactly the same as the child's."
Gu Zhinian smiled awkwardly, "I'm not, I'm the nanny hired by this family."
Yun Muye explained: "Mrs. Zhou, she is indeed the nanny I hired to take care of the child."
Mrs. Zhou clapped her hands and said, "Look at my eyes, I must have been mistaken. At first glance, it looks quite like a child."
Mrs. Zhou opened the door and walked out. "You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go home and see the kids."
"Okay, take care, Sister Zhou." Yun Muye watched her leave with the child in his arms, then closed the door and went back to the house.
