Chapter 1: First Registration
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhang Xinhuo's family of three was eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and his wife Chu Mengjiao wanted to talk several times, which was completely different from her usual spicy and direct personality.
The son was only more than two years old, Zhang Xinhuo put him in the living room to watch cartoons, pulled his wife into the bedroom and locked the door, "What makes you so embarrassed?"
Chu Mengjiao was a little moved, sure enough, he was the most intimate person next to the pillow, and he understood it with a look.
"Jiangcheng was locked down yesterday, and the daily surge of patients requires a large number of medical staff to rescue them.
More than 10 backbone personnel from our four hospitals will follow the first aid medical team tomorrow, and I am on the list. Meet tonight and leave tomorrow morning. ”
She seemed to be afraid that this man would misunderstand, so she hurriedly added, "I signed up voluntarily, the first one!"
Zhang Xinhuo's heart twitched hard.
Everyone in the whole country knows how dangerous Jiangcheng is, and even all parts of the country have reached the point where they will call the police as long as they see Jiangcheng's license plate.
And his most beloved wife actually wants to go against the grain and go to the aid of Jiangcheng, which is full of viruses.
Zhang Xinhuo took a heavy breath and stared at her affectionately, "The country needs you, and the people of Jiangcheng need you, so you can go." ”
Chu Mengjiao was moved by this man who couldn't speak love words, she guessed his countless reactions, but she didn't expect him to support him unconditionally and without complaints.
"That Son ......"
"Don't worry, I promise to raise him for nothing and wait for you to come back. ”
Chu Mengjiao scolded with a smile: "You should be raising pigs." ”
Chu Mengjiao said again, "Mom and Dad's ......"
"I'll go and say. ”
Zhang Xinhuo stared at her with burning eyes, "You must come back safely, my son can't live without his mother." ”
The implication is that I can't live without you.
Zhang Xinhuo hugged his son and sent Chu Mengjiao to the door and told her affectionately.
"You must take care of yourself, and you must remember that my son and I are at home waiting for you to come back. ”
The son babbled and repeated four words: "Mom, come back." Mom, come back. ”
Chu Mengjiao could no longer hide the tears that came out of her eyes, and drove into the night.
Two fearless revolutionary partners don't need much verbal persuasion and comfort at all.
Zhang Xinhuo never thought that he would experience three major events that shook the world in the past 20 years without landing.
In the 2003 SARS epidemic, after a long fear of death, he was rescued by doctors and saved a small life from the hands of death.
In the 2008 earthquake, he was trapped in the rubble of his school for more than 60 hours, and when he was dug up, he had his last breath left, and his father lost his legs in the disaster and is still confined to a wheelchair.
It was after that that he resolutely enlisted in the army as a soldier, vowing to become a god soldier who fell from the sky like back then, and to become the guardian of this country and this nation.
Men are enthusiastic and should serve the country with their bodies.
It is a belief that he has become integrated into the marrow.
Until he was discharged from the army and demobilized, he still practiced it all the time.
It was precisely because of this belief that when he heard that his wife was going to help Jiangcheng, he did not have any obstacles.
The country gave birth to me and raised me, and I should repay it with my life.
Three years ago, he co-founded the Torch Lunch Chain brand, which has opened 50 directly operated stores and more than 50 franchise stores.
This is already a large scale in the eyes of others, but after deducting all the operating costs and sharing it with the other three partners, there is not much money in his hands.
Three years later, he is still just a small boss, but he still insists on doing public welfare and has never stopped.
When the new crown epidemic broke out this year, he maintained an optimistic attitude like most people, and also gave clothes and red envelopes to children in welfare homes in mountainous areas.
By the time he paid attention to Chu Mengjiao's repeated emphasis, millions of people in Jingchu had returned to their hometowns due to the Spring Festival and sprinkled all over the country, and the whole country had entered a period of general panic about the new coronavirus.
A major epidemic virus crisis that has ravaged the whole country has begun.
Zhang Xinhuo was watching the news in the living room with his son in his arms, and the sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the table was already cold.
"As the epicenter of the epidemic and the hardest-hit area, the hospitals in Jiangcheng are already overcrowded.
Due to the severe shortage of testing reagents, many suspected patients cannot be effectively diagnosed.
Doctors are fighting on the front lines of the fight against the epidemic despite the shortage of masks and protective clothing, and they are afraid to drink a drop of water all day in order not to waste precious protective clothing.
Due to the closure of the restaurant industry and the fear of the new coronavirus, the delivery workers are basically afraid to deliver food to the hospital, and the doctors and nurses can only fight to the death by starvation.
They are just children born in the 90s, they just put on protective clothing, but they followed the example of their predecessors and desperately snatched people from the hands of death. ”
Pictures of major hospitals were shown on the TV, and their names and the word "come on" were written on the back of those white protective suits.
When they took off their sealed protective suits, water flowed from the clothes inside without twisting them.
When they took off their goggles, which had been filled white by the steam, their entire faces were covered in deep strangulation marks.
A little girl appeared on TV, she choked up and said, "I'm scared I'm going to die, I'm only ten years old."
I am grateful to my doctors, they gave me confidence and gave me the courage to live. ”
Boom! Zhang Xinhuo's heart suffered a heavy blow.
Isn't that girl who is afraid of death the same person she was back then?
Aren't those doctors who are so tired that they can't stand on their feet the same soldiers who sacrificed their lives to save themselves?
As the camera turns, a group of exhausted doctors sit on the floor and fall asleep against the wall......
A little nurse with wet hair is eating instant noodles that have cooled away......
Zhang Xinhuo was shocked again, and he couldn't let the people who risked their lives go on like this.
He made a decision.
He quickly packed his son's food and clothing supplies and drove overnight to the countryside a hundred kilometers away from Rongcheng.
knocked on the door of his parents' house, Zhang Xinhuo went straight to the point, "Dad, Mom, don't you always say that you miss your grandson."
It just so happens that I have to receive a few big customers in a few days, and Mengjiao is too busy in the hospital every day to get out, so I will let the child live here for a few days, and I will come back in a few days to pick him up. ”
The mother blamed and said, "Now that the virus is flying all over the sky, don't run around, how can you make enough money."
When you're done, stay at home and take care of Mengjiao, the child is too tired, and you have to do your husband's duty.
You can rest assured that your grandson will not be hungry when you put it here. ”
Zhang Xinhuo's nose was a little sour, they didn't know that Chu Mengjiao had already gone to the front line, let alone that he was about to go to the front line.
After leaving his parents' house, he rushed back to the office in the city, and directly dialed the phone number of the general manager's office in Jiangcheng despite the late night.
"Cheng Tao, you have done your best to implement the site selection of the directly-operated store, fully equipped with all the kitchen utensils in a standard kitchen, and made every effort to purchase ingredients for more than 1,000 people to eat for more than three days. Give me an answer early tomorrow morning. ”
The three "full efforts" show that the chairman is in a hurry.
The two communicated for more than an hour, and Zhang Xinhuo Cong Chengtao learned a lot of information about Jiangcheng, and the epidemic in Jiangcheng was much more serious than what was said on the Internet.
Except for a few large hotels and hotels that have been designated to entertain in accordance with the requirements of prevention and control, all small and medium-sized restaurants are basically closed.
The delivery staff is also basically on holiday, and the hospital orders are generally afraid to be delivered, which further leads to the doctors in a state of starvation and fighting.
This strengthened Zhang Xinhuo's determination to rush to Jiangcheng.
He has to carry this banner, and he can't save people from all the hungry doctors.
Zhang Xinhuo called the finance again and asked her to dial 500,000 yuan as soon as possible to make preparations for Cheng Tao.
Immediately, I also contacted a few friends who were doing business, asking them to help collect a batch of disposable medical masks in case of Jiangcheng's needs.
He spent the night writing down his plans for running the company after he left, thinking about how to convince the other three partners tomorrow.
At 6 a.m., Zhang Xinhuo arrived at the office early, and two of the partners arrived close behind.
Zhang Xinhuo got straight to the point and said: "I want to fully support Jiangcheng in fighting the epidemic, what are your opinions?"
"If you have to go, I'll solve your worries here. ”
Xue Meng still supported him as always, but the three major questions raised by Li Qin one after another hit the soul.
Now that Jiangcheng is closed, how can you guarantee the ingredients?
You provide a boxed lunch for free, what if you lose yourself and the epidemic is not over yet?
You and your sister-in-law are both on the battlefield, what if you are both glorious?
Li Qin has always been emotional and good at thinking, and his three consecutive questions are questions that Zhang Xinhuo can never bypass.
Zhang Xinhuo showed the documents in his hand: "I have also written the company's operation plan and suicide note, in case it is glorious, please help me take care of the family."
I have only one belief, I will not retreat if the epidemic does not retreat, and I vow to stick to the battlefield with medical staff!"
Just as the three men fell silent, the door of the conference room was violently pushed open, and a bewitching woman broke in in a rage, shouting: "The old lady does not agree!"
