Chapter 107 Mom is a Model Worker

  Shipyard, family courtyard.

  This is a residential building built in the 1960s. It has a uniform style. The red bricks have been mottled, and the outer skin has fallen off. Some walls are covered with ivy, so the building number cannot be seen clearly.

  The night is already dark, and the street lamps are shining a dim yellow light.

  Cong Ju was a little preoccupied. When Santana stopped at the door of the building where she lived, she came back from her complicated thoughts: "Taozi, how do you know that my family lives here?"

   "Sister Cong Ju, you are a model worker in the factory, you just need to inquire about it." Qin Tao said calmly, he parked the car, took the things bought for the children, and strode inside.

  Cong Ju's footsteps also became hasty. Her weak body passed Qin Tao, walked in front, and went upstairs until she reached the fifth floor.

  The door lock slammed open, and Cong Ju took a deep breath, opened the door and walked in.

  The light cord was pulled, and the light bulb was shining. Cong Ju felt a sudden soreness in her heart, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

  The two children were already asleep. They were both girls. They were supposed to be clean and tidy girls. At this time, their clothes were dirty, their hair was messy, and their faces were like cats' painted faces.

The youngest daughter was only four or five years old. At this moment, the lower half of the little girl was kneeling on the ground, and the upper half was lying on the sofa. She fell asleep in this position. She still held the unfinished bread in one hand, and the lower half of her pants , was still dripping wet, her face was stained with tears, and in her sleep, she seemed to be still muttering: "Mom, mom!"

The eldest daughter is about eight or nine years old. Her body is lying on the sofa, her head is next to her sister's head. In her hand, she is still holding a stack of papers. The edges of the papers are covered with white wall coverings. It can be seen at a glance that it has been peeled off from the wall.

   "Niu Niu!" Cong Ju shouted, and then quickly ran over, picked up the little girl from the ground, hugged her in her arms, and tears fell on the little girl's face.

Zhao Ling, who was walking at the back, had wet eyes. She walked forward, looked at the eldest daughter who was sleeping on the sofa, and looked at the things she was holding in her hand. It was a stack of certificates for model workers. Looking up at the wall behind the sofa, you can see the mottled wall covering. These awards used to hang all over the wall, but now, they are all peeled off by the eldest daughter.

  At this time, it seemed that she had a premonition of something. The eldest daughter in her sleep opened her eyes. When she saw Cong Ju, she was taken aback for a moment, and then burst into tears.

   "Mom, mom, you're finally back! We don't want certificates, we want mom, we want mom!"

  Cong Ju held the younger daughter in her arms, watched the older daughter cry, and wanted to hug the older daughter again, but couldn't move her hands.

   "Lili, Lili, my mother is a model worker, so I have to work harder in the factory!"

  At this time, Zhao Ling hugged her eldest daughter Lili: "Son, don't cry, your mother is doing this for everyone!"

(When I was writing, I was moved to tears, this is the characteristic of people in that era, but I don’t know if I will be scolded by some people again, and go to the factory to work hard without caring about my children! To give another example, many book lovers may know that Huadong Zhixiong worked as a high school physics teacher for ten years before he resigned. The child was just two or three years old, so she locked the child at home and went to self-study. When she came home, the child vomited all over the floor and fell asleep on the floor. She also felt uncomfortable, but it was time to go to self-study At that time, the child was locked at home again.)

  Qin Tao watched all this.

  Of course he knows everything about Cong Ju's family.

Originally, there was an old man in Cong Ju's family to look after the children, but at the end of the year, the old man died of illness, and the two children were left alone. It happened that the factory signed a contract for exporting freighters, and the construction period was tight. Heavy, so Cong Ju and her husband fought to the front line, often staying on the berth for ten days and half a month, although they bought enough food for the children in the family, and asked the eldest to take care of the second child, and the factory specially The person who arranged it was responsible for taking her to school, but after returning home, she was still not safe, after all, the eldest daughter was not yet ten years old!

  The two daughters, like Cong Ju, are very thin, which is also caused by long-term malnutrition.

  Niu Niu also woke up, and saw her mother in front of her eyes, hugging her mother's neck, never letting go.

  Qin Tao sighed, stepped forward, and took out the iron frog.

   "Niuniu, this is a gift from Uncle, Lili, this is for you."

  When the two girls saw the iron frog, they focused their attention on the iron frog, and finally stopped crying.

   Lili twisted the iron frog's key, wound it up, and put it on the ground, but the iron frog didn't move.

  Qin Tao stretched out his hand to poke, and the iron frog jumped out.

   "Fun, fun." Niuniu was also attracted, and began to tinker with her own iron frog.

  Cong Ju looked at Qin Tao with gratitude.

   "Come on, get some hot water and wash your face." Qin Tao demonstrated how to play the iron frog, and continued to run to the bathroom familiarly, took some water out, and put in the towel.

  In this era, almost all buildings have the same layout, not because Qin Tao visited here many times.

  The two big painted faces were finally washed clean, and the two girls played with the iron frog and forgot their troubles.

"Sister Congju, why don't you sleep with the two children tonight, and tomorrow, I will take you all away. Our Mingzhou Shipyard also has a school and kindergarten for the children of employees. Let me say hello and arrange them in Go inside." Qin Tao said to Cong Ju: "In short, if I take you away and leave the two children here, I don't feel at ease."

   "Mom, are you leaving?"

   "Mom, we don't want you to go."

   "Mom, we're following you!"

  The two children held the iron frog in one hand and pulled Cong Ju's arm with the other.

  Cong Ju nodded: "Okay, Taozi, then I will trouble you."

  Cong Ju finally agreed!

  Bringing the two children there together is equivalent to moving the family there. From now on, Cong Ju can safely stay in the Mingzhou Shipyard!

   "Then Xiaoling and I will go to the guest house and pick you up tomorrow."

  Hearing that Qin Tao was leaving, the two girls resolutely gave up on their mother and ran to Qin Tao: "Uncle, uncle, don't leave!"

   "Uncle, uncle, stay with us, the house hasn't been this lively for a long time."

   "Taozi, there are two bedrooms at home, I share one with my two children, you..."

   "Xiaoling sleeps in the other room, and I sleep on the sofa." Qin Tao said.

  Zhao Ling has no objection to Qin Tao's arrangement. Now she is also a mother and wants to stay with her two children.

Cong Ju went to the kitchen and made a stew with the things Qin Tao brought and the few potatoes left in the kitchen, and made a pot of rice. The two children ate hungrily and kept praising their mother for cooking. tasty.

  Qin Tao continued to give hints to the two children while eating: "Wait until tomorrow, uncle will take you to the Mingzhou Shipyard. You can see your mother every day, and you can eat the meals made by your mother every day."

   "Really? Great!"

   "Uncle, you won't lie to us, will you?"

   "If your mother doesn't have time, uncle will cook for you. Uncle is not lying, come on, pull the hook!"
