Chapter 14: Two Old Men
"We're not sick!" a voice came from the room.
"I'm sorry, you may have misunderstood, but we are just here to care about your living materials, and we don't test your condition. Lin Qingping pressed Tong Xiaotang, who was about to speak.
"Ahem!" the cough sounded again.
Then, Lin Qingping heard the faint sound of footsteps, and if he guessed correctly, the other party should be standing at the door of the room.
"Are you here to deliver the company's supplies?"
"We are just here today to count, and if it is really difficult, the community will distribute some living guarantees. Lin Qingping spoke again.
"Statistics?"
"Yes, my name is Lin Qingping, if you don't believe me, you can call the community to ask. ”
"You're really just here to count the needy households?"
"Well, really!"
"Crunch!"
At that moment, the door finally opened.
A pale, somewhat emaciated old man stood at the door, his sunken eyes scanning Lin Qingping and Tong Xiaotang's bodies like this.
Lin Qingping was smiling, pulling Tong Xiaotang to stand in place, and didn't say much, but his eyes noticed the situation in the house.
Very ordinary two-bedroom house.
The decoration is relatively old, but what really moved Lin Qingping was that on the table in the living room, there was a somewhat dry white radish.
Moreover, it was clearly bitten.
"There are a lot of viruses outside, so I won't let you in, we really don't get sick, just a little cough...... Are you really here to count the difficult households?" the old man finally took the initiative to speak after examining Lin Qingping and Tong Xiaotang.
"Yes, we have launched a group purchase online, and if you have a mobile phone to participate, you can also apply to join our WeChat chat group. Tong Xiaotang immediately started popular science.
By the way, she also took out her mobile phone and wanted to show the old man how to operate.
However, after hearing Tong Xiaotang's words, the old man's face changed significantly.
"I thought you were really here to send us supplies, but it turned out to be some kind of online shopping and group buying...... We can't do this stuff!"
"Grandpa, we can teach ......"
"Okay, then you can help me get it!" The old man seemed to be a little angry and took out a mobile phone from his body and handed it to Tong Xiaotang.
Tong Xiaotang's hand that had just stretched out suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Because, the old man is actually the oldest mobile phone, and there are many functions on such a mobile phone, so group buying is naturally impossible.
"Can't you do it?" the old man put the phone back in his pocket.
"Grandpa, do you eat white radish at home?" Yan Ning gently patted Tong Xiaotang's shoulder, and then stood in front of Tong Xiaotang.
"Otherwise, the vegetable market outside is all closed, and the people in the community say that we are sick and won't let us go out, so what can we do?
"Grandpa, you're not alone at home, are you?" Lin Qingping happened to hear a slight coughing sound coming from the room inside.
"The old woman was sick, and she had to lie in bed with all her strength. ”
"Is it possible that you are infected?"
"We're all out there for a few days...... Is it possible to be infected? Just a little fever and cough, just take some medicine. ”
"Old man, this disease is very serious, it can be transmitted from person to person, even if you don't go to the outside market, you may be infected by other people. ”
"So what do you want us to do? We don't get any money. ”
"If the diagnosis is to have this disease, the state will help subsidize the medical expenses, so that the patient does not have to spend money. Lin Qingping immediately explained to the old man.
"But my wife can't walk now, and the bus outside has stopped, and the bus can't get a taxi, so your community has sent a car to deliver it?" the old man was a little relieved, and after thinking about it, he continued.
"We can figure it out. Lin Qingping nodded.
Although there is no such service in the community now, according to the situation of the elderly and the future development, he feels that this matter really needs the help of the community.
There are too many elderly people in Wuhan.
These elderly people are almost out of touch with the community on weekdays, except for buying groceries and eating, basically watching news TV, and then visiting neighbors on the street, playing cards, playing mahjong or something.
At this time, the city of Wuhan was closed.
The bus line is directly suspended, which is equivalent to cutting off the travel of many elderly people, and if the community can't find a way to solve it, then it is likely to cause chaos.
"Then I want to thank you!" the old man finally changed his expression when he heard this, and there were some tears in his eyes.
Move?
Not exactly!
Lin Qingping felt that there should be more grievances in this.
The old man wiped his eyes with his hand and sighed heavily: "You don't know, after my wife coughed, how the people around us looked at us, and we were like thieves...... No one wants to buy something for us, and I can't watch my wife die, right?"
"......" Lin Qingping did not speak.
He knows that the old man's emotions need to be vented, and the old neighbors of decades suddenly look at you and hide away from you when they walk.
This feeling, especially for the elderly, is really uncomfortable.
And in fact, in the circle of friends, there are really too many such things......
Wuhan is locked down!
There are all kinds of voices on the Internet, and all cities and provinces are focusing on Wuhan, and there are even people who take pictures of Wuhan's license plates everywhere and say all kinds of things.
"I thought my wife and I were going to die in the house, but luckily there is your community...... You are good people, good people have good rewards, save my old wife!"
"Don't worry, old man, we will definitely find a way. Tong Xiaotang's lips clenched at this moment, and he didn't seem to care about the slightly resentful words between the old men at all.
When a person is ostracized by others, it is naturally easy to resent.
This is a poor old man, he actually just wants to live, to live well in this community that was originally full of laughter and neighborhood affection.
"Tang Tang, do you still have a few masks there?" Lin Qingping's heart was also trembling, but he temporarily restrained this emotion.
"Well, I'll go get it now. ”
"Elderly, our community will do our best to send you to the hospital, however, please also cooperate with us, if you can't use your mobile phone to buy in groups, you can call our community service number, we will arrange someone to deliver supplies to the door." After Lin Qingping finished speaking, he handed over the community's phone number.
"Okay, okay, if I want to buy something, I'll call you and tell you to send it!" hehe......" The old man nodded, and shouted to the house inside: "Old woman, the people in the community are going to send me supplies, and they also said that they will arrange for someone to send you to the hospital in two days." ”
"Ahem...... Then you don't thank the little comrades in the community!"
"Well, thank you, little comrade, oh and the lesbian just now, thank you together!"
