Travel back to the 1970s and start as a female textile worker

"My name is Gu Zhu, and from now on I'll call him Xiao Zhuzi."

Xiaozhuzi was reminded by Gu Dong that he had already remembered his own name. Hearing this, he immediately raised his head and looked at his sister, shaking his head as if asking, "What did you call me for?"

Gu Chun was struck by cuteness again. How could this child be so cute?

The factory director also saw it and loved the child very much.

"Xiao Zhuzi, you are so smart. You know your name is Xiao Zhuzi."

"Dong'er also likes this name. She kept calling him her name yesterday. He has heard it too much and may know that this is his name."

Coming out of the factory director's office, the director smiled at Xiao Zhuzi with such an aunty smile that Gu Chun couldn't help laughing.

Her little Zhuzi is truly the cutest child in the world, and everyone who sees him will fall in love with him.

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

"Sister Fang, I am Gu Chun. I came to report to the first workshop today."

Fang Wen, who was inspecting the workers' work, also recognized Gu Chun and came over and said, "Gu Chun, I know that your mother also worked in the first workshop before. Have you made arrangements at home?"

"It's been arranged, but my brother still needs to be held in custody. Can you take me to see the place where he is being held?" Because he was still boarding at school before, he rarely came to the textile factory and was not familiar with the factory.

"Okay, I'll take you to see it."

The custody area is not far from the workshop, in a house between the office building and the workshop. It was specially set up by the factory so that female employees could breastfeed their children in a timely manner.

I have to say that factories in this era are really very user-friendly.

As soon as we entered the trusteeship area, we saw several lesbians in their 30s and 40s taking care of their children. These were the family members of the factory employees, hired by the textile factory to help take care of their children.

Looking at these children, there are about seven or eight children, all of whom are not very old. The oldest is only three years old and will be sent to the red education class in the factory next year. The youngest is less than one year old and is about the same age as Xiaobao.

The person in charge of the trusteeship area is called Li Li. She has short hair that is close to her ears. She looks clean and neat, which makes people feel good.

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. Just come and take him away after get off work at noon. If you don't plan to take care of the child at noon, Come on, you have to leave the child’s food rations.”

"Teacher Li, I understand. I will come to take Xiaobao home at noon. I will bring his milk powder in the afternoon. Could you please help me feed him at three or four in the afternoon?"

Because his home was so close, Gu Chun couldn't bear to worry about the children. Of course he had to go home at noon.

After settling the issue of Xiaozhu's custody, Gu Chun put the sleeping child down and covered him with a piece of her clothes. She was afraid that he would be scared when he woke up and hoped 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 uniform of a female worker in a textile factory consists of a set of gray overalls, a white apron, and a white hat on the outside. This is to prevent cotton wool from getting on the clothes when spinning.

Most of the workers in the textile factory are women. They all wear the same work clothes and stand next to the huge textile machines. There is white yarn on the machine, and the scene is quite spectacular.

The machine is also very noisy, and basically two people cannot hear each other when talking.

Looking at this scene, Gu Chun was thinking, can she really do this job? I had to stand all day, with the noise in my ears, and I had to concentrate on looking at the spindle.

Gu Chun is a person who can endure hardships very much. Since she has no support since she was a child, she will do part-time jobs whenever she has time. There is no dirty work that she cannot do.

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

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

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

Gu Chun studied all morning and became more aware of how difficult this job is.

At this time, the textile mill works according to the spinning method, which requires less loss, high output, and fast speed.

The female workers are still very enthusiastic and compete in their work every day. Only when they are in the midst of it can they feel their love for their work.

Gu Chun could not love work as much as they did, but her attitude towards life was to do it well once she had done it, so in her previous life, she persisted in studying hard no matter how difficult it was and was admitted to a prestigious university.

After a whole morning of teaching, Liu Fang was very satisfied with Gu Chun. She learned very quickly and believed that she would be able to get started soon. As expected, she is a high school student and her brain is quite smart.

If Gu Chun knew what she was thinking, he would definitely say that she had been admitted to college.

At noon, Gu Chun went home with Xiao Zhuzi in her arms. The two children at home went back to school for the first day, and she wanted to go back and take care of them.

Before going back, she went to the cafeteria and bought a braised pork dish. The factory cafeteria was delicious and there were subsidies for meals. A braised pork dish only cost 50 cents.

Gu Chun is the thinking of future generations. She does not save money. She wants her family to eat well and her children to supplement their nutrition so that they can be healthy. After all, the body is the capital of revolution.

When they got home, Gu Xia and Gu Qiu had already cooked rice and fried a handful of cabbage. Gu Chun bought the cabbage yesterday. Unlike in the countryside, his family has no place to grow vegetables, so he can only buy vegetables to eat. Therefore, some people say that in this era, people in the city are not as good as those in the countryside.

Gu Dong, the little girl, was the happiest when she came back from cooking braised pork.

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

Gu Dong took a strong breath of the smell of braised pork, and his expression was intoxicated, which made people laugh.

"Okay, okay, stop playing tricks. Let me make some milk powder for Xiao Zhuzi and we will start eating."

"Sister, I've soaked it. I'll feed my brother." Gu Qiu felt that her eldest sister was already very tired from work, so she quickly took the little bamboo to feed her.

Gu Chun was also very pleased that her sister felt so sorry for her. Although she was the head of the family, she didn't want to be the mother-in-law of the whole family. They had to do whatever they could at home, and she would never stop her.

The family was sitting around the dinner table, Gu Dong was eating braised pork. It was obvious that she was a snack.

Gu Xia saw that Gu Qiu was busy feeding Xiaozhu without even eating, so he took his brother over to feed him and asked his sister to eat quickly.

After Gu Chun took two bites of food, he began to care about his younger brothers and sisters.

"How were you two going to school today? Can you still keep up?"

"Fortunately, I have previewed everything the teacher taught today, so there are no problems." Gu Qiu replied

Gu Xia also smiled and nodded to her sister, saying it was okay.

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

"Eldest sister, school is not fun at all. I hid under the second sister's desk. It was so boring. I didn't want to go in the afternoon."
