Chapter 131: Cherish the Present

Other places can be closed, but the market cannot.

Because of the high mobility of people, the vegetable market has also become the focus of prevention and control.

The first task that Chu Chanjuan was assigned to the sinking community was to go to the vegetable market to implement prevention and control measures.

Post prevention and control announcements and various reminders, measure the body temperature of merchants and people who come to buy vegetables, and disinfect them on time. Originally, they could have helped people in home isolation to buy groceries, but the vegetable market was not a supermarket, and merchants could only provide handwritten receipts, not printed receipts, in order to avoid misunderstanding among the masses, so they could only go to the supermarket for purchases.

The masks she brought also came in handy, Boss Zhou, who sold meat, and Sister Li, who sold fish, really couldn't buy masks, and the one they used now has been worn for several days, in their words, they have worn it stinky but can only continue to wear it, she "very generously" gave three per person, and Boss Zhou and Sister Li, who had new masks, were really grateful from the bottom of their hearts.

Knowing that she sank to the Yanggang community, Cai Qi also put on Han Xiaowu's red vest.

However, Cai Qi, a volunteer, is similar to Han Sumi, just five minutes of heat, come if you want to, don't come if you can't come, and after guarding the entrance of the market for half an hour, she went diagonally across the road to see the excitement.

Chu Chanjuan sent the remaining masks to a few aunts who also couldn't buy masks and could only come shopping with scarves, and called and asked, "Qiqi, where did you run away again?"

"I'm watching a police haircut!"

"Isn't the barbershop closed?"

"Just because the barber shop was closed, the police on duty on the street every day had nowhere to get a haircut, so Sister Wang from the Volunteer Federation brought volunteers to help them get a haircut. You can rest assured, just on the side of the road, all wearing masks. ”

"President Wang is here too?"

"She's busy, she knows you're in the vegetable market, and she said that she will go to Zhongba Road Intersection later, so she won't go over to say hello to you. ”

Thinking of Xu Dongmei, Li Yajuan, Xu Simin and other community workers, they all had no time to wash and comb their hair because they were so busy, so they all cut their long hair short. And if you sink into the community, you have to look like you are sinking, Chu Chanjuan gritted her teeth: "Help me tell President Wang, I also want to cut my hair, I'll go over immediately." ”

"What are you cutting your head?" Cai Qi asked puzzled.

"Cut it short. ”

"Why did you cut it?"

"It's not convenient to do anything if your hair is too long, and you don't have that much time to take care of it, so it's better to cut it shorter. ”

"It's easy to cut, but it will take a long time to keep it!"

"I know, you help me talk to Sister Wang, and I'll go over right away. ”

"Well, I really want to play it. ”

......

She explained to the market staff and the volunteers guarding the entrance, and rushed to the Yongle Cinema diagonally across the road, Wang Meiqin had already helped the traffic police and auxiliary police on duty at the intersection to cut their hair, and was looking at the Chuangwen propaganda film that was still playing on the LCD screen at the street entrance to wipe her tears.

"Sister Wang, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, sit down, how short do you want to cut?"

Chu Chanjuan hurriedly took out her mobile phone, flipped out the photos taken in the community in the morning, pointed to Xu Dongmei's hairstyle on the photos and said, "Just cut it like this." ”

"Okay, this one. Wang Meiqin wiped away her tears, helped her put on an apron, picked up the scissors again and clicked and cut them.

"Sister Wang, are you crying?" Chu Chanjuan couldn't help but ask.

Before Wang Meiqin could speak, a short and chubby volunteer of the Volunteer Federation choked up and said: "There were us in the video just now, and two of the elderly people who took the video with us are gone. ”

Chu Chanjuan reacted, looked at the LCD screen and muttered, "This was filmed last year, right?"

"Well, it was taken in September. The old lady left early, and we all went to send it when she left, and the old man left yesterday morning, and he was not allowed to send it during the epidemic. How many years have I known, he has a wish, he doesn't want to go lonely, he just wants to ...... I wanted to send a few people to the funeral home when I was cremated, and I had promised him a long time ago, but I still didn't send him away. The more Wang Meiqin thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, and she couldn't control her tears, so she simply handed the scissors to another volunteer, walked to the side, and took out a tissue to wipe her tears.

It is difficult for people who have never been to a nursing home to accompany the elderly, Chu Chanjuan went to the Volunteer Federation once and knew that those elderly people really regarded them as relatives.

Chu Chanjuan even clearly remembered that there was a blind old lady who heard that Wang Meiqin was gone, and actually pulled Wang Meiqin and said happily that she saw Wang Meiqin on the TV news one night.

It's not to hear, it's to see!

You can imagine that the old lady is watching with her heart!

Thinking of these, Chu Chanjuan was sad for a while, and she couldn't control her tears.

The volunteers of the Volunteer Federation originally did not know how to get a haircut, but they all practiced it when they were doing public welfare in the nursing home over the years, because they were halfway home, for fear that the haircut would not look good, so they repaired it again and again after cutting.

Looking in the mirror, although the cut is indeed very ordinary, Chu Chanjuan still feels that this is the most meaningful haircut in more than 20 years.

She thanked Wang Meiqin and other volunteers after seeing them away, and thought that the community would not have food at noon, so she turned around and asked, "Qiqi, what should you do at noon, do you want to go back to eat with me, or go home to eat?"

"What are you going to do, you have to come when you go back, I won't go back, and you don't go back. ”

"If you don't go back to eat, can you order takeout, can you order it now?"

"The restaurants are closed, and it seems that I can only order KFC's home delivery. Cai Qi put her freshly cut long hair into a convenience bag, and said with a smile while looking at her broken hair: "Let's go to Boss Han's house to eat, his refrigerator has everything, and his house is opposite the community." ”

"What are you kidding when you go to his house to eat?"

"I'm not kidding, I've been to his place several times. ”

"What if he ...... What if you don't welcome it, and you're not at home?"

"He was the most hospitable, it was impossible not to welcome him. It doesn't matter if I'm really not at home, I have his room card, let's do it ourselves. ”

"Do you have his room card?" Chu Chanjuan felt a little incredible.

Cai Qi took out the room card from her bag and shook it in front of her eyes, and said proudly: "I decorated his house, and he is not as familiar with his house as I am with him! Don't look at him as a master, and don't look at him as a person who has seen the world, but he can't even use a washing machine, and I still set up his washing machine for him." ”

"Now that it's all been renovated, what are you doing with someone else's room card?"

"He didn't ask me for it, I'm in a hurry. ”

"I'm going to go to you, I'm not going, I'm going home to eat. ”

"What's so embarrassing, even if you can't be a boyfriend or girlfriend, ordinary friends still have to do it. ”

"I'm going to go to you, I'm not going anyway. ”

"I've already told him," Cai Qi raised her phone and said with a smile: "He said he didn't eat either, and said that I could help him cook." ”

"Then you go cook for him, goodbye. ”

"Why are you like this, Chanjuan, don't be angry when you say it, if you don't go, it will seem that you are weak-hearted!"

"What is my heart?"

Cai Qi didn't want to go around in circles with her, so he took her arm and said with a wry smile: "He knows that you have come to the community, and he also knows that I am with you, he wants to meet you, as if he wants to say something to you." ”

"If you want to see me, then why didn't he call me. ”

"He doesn't care about it now. ”

Chu Chanjuan hesitated, raised her head and said, "Okay, I'll go with you, just to participate in his mansion." ”

The two drove to the park and took the elevator to Han Xiaowu's new home, and found that Han Xiaowu was very haggard, with black circles under his eyes, red eyes, and bloodshot eyes.

"Come in, you don't have to change your shoes. ”

"Mr. Han, is Miss Zhang better?"

"It's better, and my fever has subsided, but I'm asleep again. Han Xiaowu closed the door, for fear that the sound outside would wake up Zhang Mei on the other end of the video.

Cai Qi knew that her best friend was very embarrassed, and she also knew that Boss Han had something to say to her best friend, so she simply opened the wall cabinet at the entrance, took out the apron and put it on, ran into the kitchen with a familiar car, held the kitchen door and turned around: "Mr. Han, Chanjuan, I'll cook first, you talk first." ”

"Okay, thanks. ”

"You're welcome. ”

Chu Chanjuan calmed down and asked with a little embarrassment: "Secretary-General, you haven't slept for the past few days." ”

"Who can sleep well in such a situation. Han Xiaowu accompanied her to the balcony, took the sliding door with him, and beckoned her to sit while asking, "Are you thirsty, I have drinks and milk here, what do you want to drink?"

"Not thirsty. Chu Chanjuan didn't dare to look directly at him, looked up at the air outlet on her head, and pretended to be curious: "I said why is it so warm on the balcony, it turns out that the balcony is also equipped with air conditioning." ”

This is Kiki's strong recommendation, but fortunately she has an air outlet, otherwise it will be difficult for the clothes to dry. ”

"Specializing in blowing clothes?"

"Well, even a down jacket that thick can be dried for a while hanging on the balcony. ”

"It's central air conditioning. ”

"It is said that it is a central air conditioner, but it is actually a household air conditioner for five. Han Xiaowu didn't expect her to cut her beautiful shawl long hair, so she couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Chu Chanjuan was very embarrassed, and hurriedly overlooked the opposite community and said: "It's so close to the community, you can really see the big conference room when you stand here." ”

Han Xiaowu didn't want to go around in circles with her, and felt that there were some things that couldn't be delayed any longer, so he had to make it clear quickly, and immediately changed his words: "Chanjuan, I'm sorry." ”

"Ah," Chu Chanjuan paused, and subconsciously turned around and asked, "Don't be kidding, I'm sorry for telling me." ”

"I'm not kidding, I'm sincerely apologizing to you. Even though nothing happened between us, I still felt like a scumbag, like I was messing with flowers. ”

"Mr. Han, you're really joking. ”

"Listen to me," Han Xiaowu took a deep breath and continued, "I finally know what I really want, who I really like, and I'm sorry for everything that happened in the past." Liu Zhiwei is very good, there is something you may not know, you help me and play my girlfriend, he already knew, he knew it when he was in the East China Sea, but he didn't say anything, he was still full of confidence in you, and he was still chasing you. ”

Chu Chanjuan didn't expect him to mention Liu Zhiwei, so she couldn't help asking: "How did Liu Zhiwei know about our trip to the East China Sea?"

"Kiki likes to post on Moments, almost every day, sometimes even a few times a day. On the day she went to the East China Sea with us, she suddenly didn't post a circle of friends, Liu Zhiwei felt very strange, so he clicked on it, and then found that it was blocked, and he also knew that you went to the East China Sea with me. ”

"How do you know?"

"One night for a run, we met. He dragged me to eat barbecue, said that he wanted to apologize to me, and just drank and mentioned it. Maybe he drank a little too much, he tearfully said that he would not give up, and said that if you choose me in the end, I hope I can be sincere to you, if I give up in a mess, or half-heartedly, he will find me to settle accounts, and I am not finished. ”

Looking at Chu Chanjuan's thoughtful appearance, Han Xiaowu continued: "I'm very happy to have friends like you and Qiqi, because of you, I have lived a very fulfilling life in the past year." When the epidemic is under control and when Hanwu is unblocked, I will leave Anhai, and it is likely that I will settle in the East China Sea in the future, and you are welcome to go to the East China Sea to play at that time. ”

Chu Chanjuan was not only confused, but also very embarrassed, and after a long while, she asked in a ghostly manner: "Isn't Zhang Mei very beautiful?"

"Hmm. Han Xiaowu nodded slightly.

"You've known each other for so many years, why...... Why is it delayed until now...... to determine the relationship?"

"I can't tell, maybe it's fate. Han Xiaowu smiled and said meaningfully: "I also wish you to find the Prince Charming in your heart as soon as possible, if it is Liu Zhiwei, I will give you a big gift at that time." What may not be useful to someone else should be useful to him. If it's another handsome guy, then I can only send something cheesy. In short, I hope that you, Kiki, and even my niece Xiaomi, can find a good home. ”

"Bless you and Zhang Mei too. ”

"Thank you. ”

After saying that, Chu Chanjuan's heart was not as chaotic as before, and she couldn't help murmuring: "Mr. Han, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have changed so much." ”

"Maybe it's because of the pandemic, the pandemic has made me understand the meaning of life and made me realize that I should cherish the present, and I believe that I am not the only one who feels this way. ”
