January 23, 2020 at 2 a.m.

Lin Qingping had insomnia.

Because, Secretary Li of the community told him today that his application for joining the party has been approved, and as long as the New Year is over, he can officially become a party member.

A glorious moment that must be celebrated all night!

"Huh, there's a piece of news?" When Lin Qingping was scrolling through Weibo, a piece of news jumped into his eyes, and the content on it made him stunned.

Wuhan will be officially locked down at 10 a.m. on the 23rd!

"Lockdown?!"

"Tick, tick. ”

The clock is moving.

After Lin Qingping stayed for about two minutes, he opened the WeChat circle of friends, and the screen had begun to be swiped, and the content was the same.

"Wuhan is going to be locked down!"

"The first lockdown since the founding of the People's Republic of China!"

"Come on, Wuhan, hold on!"

“......”

Closed the WeChat circle of friends.

Lin Qingping opened the WeChat booking service again.

There is a ticket booked half a month ago, the time is 9:03 am on the 23rd, and the destination is his hometown Hengyang, Hunan.

"I didn't go back last year, and I won't go back this year, my father is almost seventy years old......" Lin Qingping's brows gradually furrowed.

In fact, the outbreak in Wuhan had already come to light a few days ago.

Eight medical staff at Union Medical College Hospital were infected, and officials officially confirmed that the new virus has the characteristics of human-to-human transmission, and it is extremely infectious.

Academician Zhong Nanshan also came to Wuhan a few days ago.

And now, the official order to blockade Wuhan has been officially issued, and what this represents can be understood with a little thought.

Is it to stay?

Or leave?

Lin Qingping's heart was struggling fiercely.

And then, he opened the message that Secretary Li gave him during the day.

"Qingping, after the unanimous recommendation of the Guangming Community Party Group, now your application for joining the party has been approved by your superiors, congratulations on becoming a glorious party member, and wish in advance: a smooth journey, happy new year!"

"Jingle bell!"

The phone rings.

Lin Qingping was awakened and looked at the name that was beating on his phone.

"Rigid old bean!"

"Dad, why haven't you slept so late?" Lin Qingping picked up the phone.

"Wuhan is locked down, you don't know yet, right? You won't be allowed to leave the city at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, I remember that your train ticket is at 9:03 in the morning, right? When you get to Hengyang, do you want me to let your brother ......?"

"Dad, you're mistaken...... There was no ticket for that bus, I bought it at 10:20. ”

"......" became silent on the phone.

"By the way, Dad, my application to join the party has been approved, I called you in the afternoon, do you remember?" Lin Qingping knew what this 'rigid old bean' was thinking: "I am already a party member." ”

"Lao Tzu doesn't care if you are a party member or not, come back to me now!"

"Dad, I work in the community, I am a grid worker, my job is to serve the masses and help them solve problems in life, now that Wuhan is closed, there must be a lot of difficulties......"

"Cub, are you going to die, or are you going to work?!"

"Dad, this is a war, this war needs the frontline medical staff, and we also need the service workers in our community, if we all choose to leave Wuhan, what will happen to the people who stay in Wuhan......?

"Get back, otherwise, Lao Tzu won't have your son!"

"Dad, I don't have a ticket, I can't go......"

"Cub, Daddy knows you're lying to me. The phone became silent again, and even his voice changed a little: "Lao Tzu is really afraid, afraid that the white-haired person will send the black-haired person, I am almost seventy years old...... Dad doesn't want you to ......."

"Dad, believe me, I will definitely protect myself, and I will definitely survive this war!"

"Then you must remember to wear a mask, and don't rush forward......"

"Dad, I'll remember. ”

"Cubs...... To live!"

“......”

The phone hangs up.

Lin Qingping didn't notice that his eyes became a little moist unconsciously.

Dad is still so rigid.

There is no overly high ideological consciousness.

However, Dad's words are not wrong, no matter what the situation, you must survive first, because only by surviving can you truly fight against this war epidemic!

"Huh, there's no handling fee for refunds...... Awesome!" Lin Qingping finally calmed down after completing the refund, because there was no way back.

He wants to stay and participate in this war against the epidemic.

Never back down!

......

The night passed.

Wuhan is really different from before.

Seven out of 10 passers-by wore masks, a bunch of people in front of the vegetable market were rushing for the only remaining bag of Hongshan vegetable moss, and meat and eggs were sold out early.

Lin Qingping walked on the road, watching all this, his mobile phone would ring from time to time, with all kinds of care and greetings on it.

"Old classmate, I heard that Wuhan is now under lockdown, how are you?"

"Qingping, do you have any vegetables at home? hurry up and buy vegetables, otherwise you won't have to eat...... By the way, you must prepare more instant noodles!"

"Hey, Brother Qingping, are you going back to Hunan this year?"

“......”

Lin Qingping replied as he walked, and his words were mostly the same, basically "I'm fine, please rest assured!" "I won't go back for the Chinese New Year this year, so I'll stay in Wuhan." "Thank you for your concern. "Mommada!"

That's how I came to the Guangming Community Service Center.

"Huh, Lin Qingping, aren't you going back?!" Sister Zhang, who was sitting at the door, was still as enthusiastic as ever, wearing black-rimmed glasses, with the pride and domineering of a native of Wuhan, but because of the problem of a round face, the mask was not worn very well, and her nose was exposed.

"Sister Zhang, the mask should cover your nose. Lin Qingping reminded.

"Alas, I know, but as soon as I cover my nose, there is fog on my glasses, and I can't see things clearly, how can I get it?"

"There is a tutorial on Douyin, saying that folding a napkin inside can prevent fogging, why don't you try it?"

"Huh, there is this kind of skill, young people just know more, by the way, my little niece is back for the Chinese New Year this year, do you want to meet it?"

"Is it Bai Fumei?"

"The stinky boy is quite picky, can you see it?"

"Lin Qingping!"

A voice came from the office opposite.

Sister Zhang immediately closed her mouth.

Lin Qingping, on the other hand, shrugged his shoulders, turned around and walked silently to the door of the office, and knocked on the door twice in a formalistic manner.

"I've seen you all, and you're still knocking, your formalism is very bad, and it deserves criticism!" In the office, a woman about thirty-five years old dressed in professional clothes buried her head on the desk and wrote her morning record.

"Yes, the secretary is right!" Lin Qingping listened carefully.

"You...... Really decided not to go back?" Secretary Li slowly raised his head and looked at the sunny and delicate young man in front of him.

"I heard that the people who returned from Wuhan are not welcome outside, so in order to avoid emotional disputes and troubles, I can only choose to stay. Lin Qingping nodded.

"Okay, stay, you're a party member after all. Secretary Li glanced at Lin Qingping seriously again, and then nodded without a smile.

"Obey the command and serve the people!" Lin Qingping replied loudly.

"There are two recent college graduates who have come to sign up as volunteers, you pick them and if you can, take them to familiarize themselves with the environment. Secretary Li said again.

"Do you want to count the number of households?" Lin Qingping asked.

"There are a few old communities that don't have properties, so they can only knock on the door one by one to count, which is hard. After thinking about it, Secretary Li nodded.

"Understood, then I'm leaving. Lin Qingping turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute. ”

"Does the secretary have any other orders?"

"Go to Sister Zhang to get two sets of protective clothing, and in addition, give each of the two college student volunteers a set!"

"Is it really that serious?"

"Yes!"

"Well, why didn't the secretary change the mask to an N95?"

“......”

......

Two volunteers.

A man and a woman, the man's name is 'Feng Tian', a student of Hua Ke 2, tall, with thick eyebrows and square face, very strong, at first glance, the kind with very strong immunity.

The female one is a little Sven, named 'Ding Xiaoyuan', with big eyes, delicate eyebrows, about one meter six, and a 'talented girl' temperament all over her body.

Lin Qingping asked, is really a high-achieving student of the Chinese Department of Wuhan University, a native of Wuhan, has been successfully hired as an intern of the Yangtze River Daily, ready to go to the internship after the New Year, the slogan is idle is idle, it is better to come to the community as a volunteer to go deep into the front line to collect materials.

Very ideal.

It's just that Lin Qingping feels that Ding Xiaoyuan is too delicate, and the volunteer work is not as good as he imagined, so he may not be able to stay.

"Xiaoyuan, do you think I look like a zongzi?" Feng Tian deliberately turned around in front of Ding Xiaoyuan after putting on the protective clothing.

The open screen posture of the male peacock alive.

Lin Qingping was not too surprised, after all, he had done the same thing in college, but the ending was not very good.

"Not really. Ding Xiaoyuan took a serious look and replied.

"Huh, isn't it?"

"Well, the zongzi are all wrapped in zongzi leaves, and your protective clothing is too white, unless you find a green hat to wear. Ding Xiaoyuan explained.

"......" Feng Tian was stunned for a moment.

Really?

Wearing a green hat, can you look like a zongzi?

"So, are you green for her, or is she green for you?" Lin Qingping walked over, interrupting the conversation between the two, and then, he pointed to the battery car parked at the door: "Do you two know how to ride a motorcycle?"

"It's obviously an electric car, right?" Feng Tian glared.

"Hey, you really don't have a sense of humor. After Ding Xiaoyuan finished speaking, he snorted directly: "Ride my beloved motorcycle, he will never be stuck in traffic...... I've wanted to experience this romance for a long time, Brother Lin, or I'll sit in the back of your car, right?"

"You are so heavy, can Brother Lin carry you?" Feng Tian spoke again.

"I can't speak, don't talk less!" Ding Xiaoyuan glanced at Feng Tian viciously, and then added: "Do you know what the next sentence of the little rabbit is?"

"I know, I'll be three years old, little rabbit, open the door!" Feng Tian looked confident.

"Then why are you still opening the door?"

"Huh?"

In this way, the three of them can be regarded as acquainted.

Lin Qingping probably saw that although Feng Tian looked strong, if it was about the combat effectiveness of the mouth cannon, Ding Xiaoyuan might be a little stronger.

A group of three people, two electric cars.

"Dididi!"

After a while, we arrived at our destination.

Tianming Community.

This is an old-fashioned neighborhood with a history of more than 20 years, although it is a little old, but the location is very good.

The community is built in the second ring road of Wuhan City, and there is a bus station and subway entrance at the door, which can be regarded as convenient transportation and is the first choice for some white-collar workers in Wuhan City.

"There is no elevator?" To Lin Qingping's surprise, after arriving at the community, the first person to ask this question was not Ding Xiaoyuan, but Feng Tian.

"What do you know, this used to be a unit house, only seven floors where there will be an elevator, however, the construction structure of this kind of community is good, knock at will, change at will, and there are many supermarkets around the vegetable market, which is more suitable for living than some new communities now. Ding Xiaoyuan introduced.

"Awesome, you know that?"

"Read more. ”

"I read it, do you know mass spectrometry? Mass spectrometry is a qualitative and quantitative analysis by measuring the mass-to-charge ratio and intensity of the ions in a sample...... Hey, Xiaoyuan, where are you going?"

"Sweep the building, aren't we here to count the number of people? Great talent, do you want to use your mass spectrometry to count it?"

"Mass spectrometry is not ...... Brother Lin, you will judge ...... Huh, Brother Lin, why don't you ignore me, Xiaoyuan, Brother Lin, you wait for me!"

“......”

"Ding Dong!"

"Hello, I'm a staff member of Guangming Community, let's count the housing situation, are you the owner or tenant here?"

"We are tenants......

"Okay, how many people do you live here......

“......”

"Ding Dong!"

"Brother Lin, come and have a little girl here!"

"Little girl?" Lin Qingping quickly ran upstairs, while Ding Xiaoyuan was sticking to the façade and talking to the little girl inside.

"What's your name, and is there anyone else in your house?"

"My name is Jiujiu...... Milk...... Grandma is also at home. The nervous voice of the little girl came from inside.

"What about your grandmother, let her come and open the door." Ding Xiaoyuan continued.

"Grandma said, don't let me open the door to strangers. ”

"We're not bad people, we're community workers, you call your grandma, we just want to count how many people you have in your house right now. ”

"Grandma is asleep. The little girl was silent for a moment, then spoke again.

"Asleep? What ...... you?"

"Wait!" Lin Qingping stopped Ding Xiaoyuan from asking any further, but immediately spoke: "Little sister, how long has your grandma been asleep?"

"Grandma has been sleeping for three days, but my brother and sister can rest assured that grandma is sleeping on the bed, and she has always had a quilt. The little girl's voice soon rang out.
