Chapter 48: Appreciation of American Literature (Continued 5)

The community where Pengyuan's family lives has many buildings, scattered residents, and complex personnel exchanges. Four exits, the relative workload of epidemic prevention and control is large. After knowing these situations from the information, Pengyuan lent out to buy daily necessities, consciously observed it, and the idea of signing up as a volunteer came to his mind, and he told his mother the idea after returning home. After many investigations and careful research, the community accepted Pengyuan's request and became a volunteer. First he served at the checkpoint at the entrance of the community, and then the community sent household surveys and filled in various forms, and his work was praised by the leaders. During the investigation, he was deeply impressed by an elderly couple whose children were often away from home due to work, and they took care of each other, caring, affectionate, and happy. This reminds him of his grandmother Yufeng, who must be lonely at home alone, and he is not used to living in the city's children's house, which he has long seen. Thinking of the old marriage, his grandmother is in good health and spirit, and he has to find another partner, he suddenly thought of Grandpa Baoxing, it is really far away in front of him, his heart is hot, he wants to discuss with his mother, and then he thinks about it, he might as well talk to Yinting first, he knows that Yinting loves and cares about her grandfather the most, and he can't let go of it, Pengyuan quickly talked to Yinting on the phone. asked Yinting about the situation after returning to her home in the city, and then entered the topic: Grandpa Baoxing is good, have you called? Yinting said: Yes, my grandfather is fine, and I feel that he is in a happy mood from the words. Then he said: It's a shame that he has a hobby of reading books and newspapers, writing and sketching, otherwise he will be lonely and bored at home alone. Peng Yuan heard Yin Ting say this, and walked on the same line of thought with him, so he didn't hesitate to say his thoughts. Yin Ting immediately replied: I have thought about this a lot in the past few days, and I want to tell you. Peng Yuan said: Then let's make it clear how good it is. Yin Ting said: Don't worry, it's a matter of course, Murakami heard that there are rumors, why don't the adults move? Peng Yuan thought about it, he admired Yin Ting's thoughtfulness, and said in his heart, yes, why didn't the adults move, there must be a reason for this. The two juniors discussed, and each did his own work as a parent first.

It's not complicated, it's not hard to say. It is the sudden epidemic that has changed the concept in people's minds and given them new thinking about life, and it is the advanced thinking and care of the younger generations that have made the indifference in the minds of adults be washed away in regret. Yin Ting first communicated with her brother, and her brother praised Yang for her sister's thoughtfulness, which made him impressed, and supported her sister's point of view in a sigh, and when they clearly put their opinions out in a family of four, Yin Ting's father happily looked at the two children and expressed his approval. Huimei, her heart rippled, her eyes surged, and her father's vicissitudes of life appeared in front of her, and her caring voice appeared, they were ashamed that they were inferior to their children and lacked care for their father. Yin Ting saw that her mother didn't say anything, and she couldn't help but say in her heart: Mom, what do you think? Huimei rubbed her eyes that were about to burst into tears and said: Mom has no idea, and she will say it when the disaster is over. She patted Yinting's shoulder and nodded affectionately: It's still my baby, and I can share my mother's worries.

At Pengyuan's house, Pengyuan only told his mother alone, not as delicate and gentle as Yinting, but directly pushed his mother to the forefront, just like this epidemic, which caught Qiu Ju off guard. Qiu Ju never thought about finding a companion for her mother from beginning to end, but thought that when she was older, she would find trouble with her wife, as long as the children were filial, did not worry about food and clothing, and had money to spend. After Peng Yuan mentioned it, she didn't say yes or no, her mind was a little upset, she looked at Peng Yuan's eyes begging for a reply, and said: You let Mom think about it. Go back to your bedroom and lie down on the bed to calm your mind first. - Yes, my mother kept up with the timid father in this life, and raised her children, although she has not suffered any difficulties, she has also experienced the ups and downs of the world, and the eyebrows and eyes of human affection are high. In the past three years since her father's death, her fate has not been smooth, and one by one she has come to her heart, so that she can see her mother's pity, her mother's helplessness, and her mother should have a happy old age.

Qiu Ju took out her mobile phone and connected to her brother in Xi'an, first said their respective circumstances, knowing that her brother's community has not yet been quarantined, and the situation in the provincial capital is not optimistic, after repeatedly caring for her, she repeated what Pengyuan said to her brother, and her brother asked her what she meant, she said to listen to her brother first, and her brother said to call you later, she knew that her brother had to discuss with her sister-in-law, which was also necessary, and her brother and sister-in-law must take on the responsibility of the final care.

Qiu Ju guessed the attitude of her brother and sister-in-law, and it didn't take long for the phone call to come, but there was no disagreement, and she said that he and his sister-in-law had this idea for a long time, and there were people to accompany them, so as not to worry about their children from time to time. Brother and sister-in-law told her to open up first, and then confirm after the epidemic is over, Qiu Ju listened to her brother and sister-in-law's opinion, and said with ease as if a stone had fallen to the ground: Brother, it's so decided, you and your sister-in-law take care of your health, and ask Huhu Wazi for me how good the family is, and I don't dare to have any luck in epidemic prevention and control. If something happens, Mada will be big and can't stand it. Brother said he knew, and he knew in his heart.

Qiu Ju is such a person, thinking about this and that in advance, thinking about it a lot, once it is determined, it is resolute. In the evening, I called Huimei, and when I heard Yinting's voice, I hurriedly said: My baby is good, my aunt is happy when she hears Tingting's voice, what about your mother? Yinting said: Yes, Mom, phone. Huimei was taking a bath and asked: Whose phone is it? Yinting said: I am Aunt Jin Ju. Huimei said: Don't hang, I'll come right away. Huimei came out of the bathroom and answered the phone while wiping her face: Jin Ju, are you depressed? Qiu Ju said: I know you have a lot of things, you are very busy during this time, and I won't gossip tonight, but I have a big matter to discuss with you. Huimei had a premonition of something to say: What a big thing, what a mysterious thing, there is a big thing about the new crown pneumonia epidemic. Jin Ju said: It is a major event of the country, and I say that it is a major event of our family. Huimei said: Hurry, slowly, and then say it in advance. Jin Ju paused for a moment and asked: Didn't Tingtingwa tell you anything? Huimei really had a premonition, but deliberately said: No, what are you talking about? Jin Ju said: Really, coax me. Huimei looked at Yinting and smiled secretly, and said quite seriously: I usually laugh, but I can still coax people at this time. Jin Ju said, "It's good if you don't say it", I'll say it first. Are you going to find a companion for Bao Xingbo? Huimei said: Oh, why did you suddenly ask about this. It was my dad's idea, and I didn't ask. Besides, respect the opinions of the elderly. Jin Ju said: Don't talk about the old man first, just say your opinion. Huimei said: I can do anything, as long as the old man is willing to look for it, there is nothing to say. Do you have a goal? Jin Ju said: It's good to have this attitude. I really have a goal. Huimei covered her mouth and laughed out loud, and Yin Ting listened intermittently and understood something. Hui Mei asked: Who do you say? Jin Ju said: This will be kept secret for you first, and when the epidemic situation stabilizes, I will talk to you at your house in person. As she spoke, she wanted to hang up the phone, but Huimei hurriedly said: Don't be in a hurry to hang miles, you are always cowardly, but she unexpectedly quoted Ting's sentence "Tease my aunt again." Let Jin Ju faintly hear. Before Jin Ju could ask rhetorically, Huimei finally couldn't help laughing, Jin Ju realized that she had called Huimei to coax again, and scolded with a smile: Old friend, you are really a blind plaster!

The epidemic is ruthless, people are merciful, everything is in plain sight...!

Shuhui, how did you find this place?" After seeing the visitor, Qin Yufan was very surprised, and hurriedly looked at the person carefully: I saw that the person who came was about twenty years old and about 1.7 meters tall. He wears a beige coat on top and a pair of dark blue jeans on the bottom. He wears a pair of brown and red high-heeled leather shoes. Clear and bright pupils, curved willow eyebrows, and long eyelashes trembling slightly. The lips of the puffy lips traced the crimson of the red lipstick. The fair-skinned and flawless face revealed a faint red powder. The thin lips are as delicate as rose petals.

"Yo, Shuhui, why are you dressed so beautifully today! Is there something happy about to happen?" After Qin Yufan took a closer look at the person, he joked with her and greeted her warmly.

The person named Wang Shuhui is working in the same unit as her, and she is a very good friend of hers, and she came today to invite her to go on a date with her boyfriend.

It turned out that not long ago, she was introduced by a friend and met a private business owner named Lin Jianping. After a few initial meetings between the two of them, she didn't have a bad impression of him, but she had never been able to confirm the relationship. Later, under Lin Jianping's repeated urging, she finally agreed to the request to formalize the relationship with him. After some deliberation, the two finally decided to invite each other's relatives to gather together at Lin Jianping's hotel this afternoon to hold an engagement ceremony to formalize the relationship between friends.

Faced with her life's events, she made a difficult mistake for this matter, she was a girl from other places who had been working here for less than two years. Her family lives more than 2,000 kilometers away in Fushun, Liaoning Province. She has no relatives here, not even a relative who can help her with ideas and be a companion. Therefore, after thinking about it a few times, she thought of her good friend Qin Yufan. After she pounced on Qin Yufan's home, after some inquiry, she finally learned the whereabouts of Qin Yufan and her fiancé from her mother, so she found here, and found her here.

"Sister Yufan, come here, the two of us will go to a place where there are few people, and I'll tell you something. ”

After Wang Shuhui found her, she saw that she and her boyfriend Chen Yongfu were choosing a set of milky white furniture together, and she felt very curious, and hurriedly called her to a corner of the furniture city.
