The uncle's name is Wang Yicai, a native of Huhan. Since the death of his wife, he has been a father and a mother again, and he has brought up the only seedlings in the family, and he has also provided them for college and graduate school. After graduating, his son stayed in Nanjing to work, and he didn't have to worry about starting a family and buying a house.

The son wanted to take Wang Yicai to Nanjing a long time ago, but Wang Yicai couldn't stay idle, stayed idle in Nanjing for a week, and still forced himself back to Huhan, this is his home, his wife is also here, he can't rest assured.

During the Chinese New Year this year, my son wanted to come back before the New Year, but there was already an epidemic at that time, and my daughter-in-law didn't let me come. bought a high-speed rail ticket to Nanjing for Wang Yicai, Wang Yicai thought about it carefully and still didn't go, in case he had the virus on him, wouldn't he give his son's family to Huo Huo, that wouldn't work.

"Now that the city is under lockdown and there are fewer people going out, I just come out every day to sweep the streets, and I think it's a physical exercise. Wang Yicai deliberately kept a distance of more than one meter from Guo An'an. Although he didn't think that the virus would run to him, he always had to think about these young people.

"Aren't you afraid?" Guo Anan pointed to his hand, and went to sort out the garbage bin without gloves, in case there were pollutants in it...... Guo Anan didn't dare to think about it.

"Don't be afraid, if you're afraid, you can't do it?" Wang Yicai grinned: "This trash can will be full if it doesn't fall into a day, although we have a virus in Huhan, but it doesn't necessarily have it in the trash can." I've heard that this virus can't survive outside. ”

Guo Anan couldn't cry or laugh, but he didn't expect his uncle to know a little about popular science, "Uncle, you still have to raise your safety awareness, no matter how long this virus can survive outside, there is still a possibility that these garbage will be contaminated." You'll still need to wear a mask and gloves, and wash your hands when you get home. ”

"Okay, good, you're right, I'll wear it all right!" Wang Yicai's eyes flashed with tears, it was rare for someone to come and care about him, an old man.

"Uncle, have you been in contact with your son lately?"

"There is a connection, my son called the day before yesterday and asked me if anyone in the community had been diagnosed or something. Wang Yicai laughed again, he loved to laugh very much, so the wrinkles on the sides of his eyes were very deep. "We haven't heard of any confirmed cases in our community yet, hey, isn't it pneumonia, how can it be so easy to be infected. ”

Guo Anan was speechless for a while.

Sure enough, no matter how much the seriousness of the pneumonia epidemic is emphasized on TV, there are still people who are lucky, or they don't take this epidemic seriously at all, and to put it bluntly, they still don't know and don't want to know.

"Uncle, you usually have to watch more TV when you go home, this time it's not just pneumonia, you see that we are all locked down here, and the virus this time is very powerful. Guo An'an was useless to persuade him, but he still couldn't help but say to Wang Yicai, in fact, it is not easy to make these older people more vigilant, because their thinking has been fixed, and it is easy to "rely on the old and sell the old", and compare the salt they have eaten with the rice that young people have eaten, and they are not convinced.

Take the rural areas in many places as an example, young people know that they hide at home and don't go out, but the older ones can't hold their breath. The village committee has no choice but to monitor and increase the loudspeaker together, and when you see those unconsciously, you will shout with a loudspeaker, and even in some places even use drones to shout, after roaring, the effect is really good, at least the uncles and aunts dare not go out.

But Huhan seems to be a little looser than the countryside in the next province, otherwise it would not be in the eye of the storm in the epidemic area, and some people don't know the power of the new crown.

After talking to Wang Yicai for a while, Guo Anan left with a little anxiety.

"I thought everyone was aware of the danger, but I didn't expect that there were still information blind spots, and I don't know how many people still have this mentality. Guo Anan thought silently for a while, but couldn't think of a good solution for a while, so he simply saved this topic first, and thought about it carefully when he returned to the hotel.

Along the way, Guo Anan has never walked the road, all the way down is a lot of old communities, and there are occasionally some old people walking slowly on the street. The fruit and vegetable shops and small supermarkets along the street are still open for business.

Most of the people living here are left-behind elderly, and many young people have gone out to work or moved into new buildings. The elderly usually can't go far away, so they go directly to the small supermarket in the community to buy some daily necessities and vegetable ingredients.

"Auntie, you go slowly, if it's inconvenient to go out next time, give me a call, and I'll ask my family to send it to you. The proprietress of the fruit and vegetable store warmly escorted an old lady out the door.

Both of them were wearing masks, and the proprietress also wore disposable gloves on her hands.

Seeing the old lady leave, the proprietress turned around and returned to the store.

Since the lockdown, the business in the store has become more and more deserted, and there are not many people in a day.

"Girl, what do you want to buy?" Seeing Guo Anan walk into the store, the proprietress who had just sat down immediately stood up and greeted Guo Anan across a stall.

"Sister, has your store been open lately?"

"No, it hasn't been closed since the beginning of the year. ”

Seeing that Guo An'an's eyes had been wandering around the fruit stall in the store after entering the door, the proprietress immediately enthusiastically introduced: "These apples and grapes are new goods, you can taste them first and buy them later, but they are sweet." ”

"Can you still buy goods now?" Guo Anan was puzzled, obviously the vegetables in the supermarket couldn't come in, how could this small store still get in?

The proprietress glanced at Guo An'an suspiciously: "You are not from our community at first glance, it is not a secret, it is difficult to purchase now, but our family has a special supplier, and people come to deliver it every day, and we don't know where the vegetables and fruits come from." ”

"I just went to the supermarket two days ago, and the food there was almost robbed, and I heard that it was about to run out of stock. Guo Anan picked up a string of red grapes, the particles looked full, but the pedicle was already a little dry, and it looked like it had been stored in the cold storage for a long time.

"At this time, you can not go to the supermarket or try not to go, it is too dangerous, you don't know if those people have it on them. "The proprietress was clearly resistant to pneumonia.

"It's really dangerous, but you're not not closed yet, aren't you afraid of danger?"

"Girl, which department are you, shouldn't you be here to put a seal on me?" The proprietress opened the door in horror for the past few days, just because she was afraid that the relevant departments would force the closure of the business.

"Sister, don't worry, I'm a reporter, I'm here to see the usual supply of materials in our community, you see that everywhere is closed, many people are out of food and food, and I don't know where to buy, just see that you are still open, I will come in and have a look." Guo Anan saw that the proprietress was still suspicious, so he took out his press card from his pocket, and the proprietress looked at it from afar for a while, and then she was relieved.

"You don't know, many small shops are now being asked to close their doors, saying that they are afraid that there will be crowds and dangers. The proprietress sighed: "Who doesn't know that there is danger! My shop is open, and people come to buy things every day, and I am afraid of myself, but if I close the store, where will these old men and old ladies in the community go to buy food?"

The store is the proprietor's own home, and there is no need to pay rent, even if it closes directly, the store will not lose a lot, the big deal is that these dishes are in deficit.

When the epidemic first broke out, the proprietress also considered closing the store directly, but she still couldn't bear to close the door when she saw the old people coming into the store one by one to buy vegetables and fruits. The one-kilometre wet market in the neighborhood has closed, and there are no large supermarkets nearby. The daily necessities of the elderly in the community are counting on her family.

"Two days ago, my friend's fast-food restaurant was forced to close, alas, it's good to close, at least it's safe to isolate at home...... But if I close the door, what will the old people do?"

As he was talking, an old man walked in at the door, "Meizi, I'll take some more green vegetables from the day before yesterday, the old woman at home said that your vegetables here are fresh, let me take more back, if you can not go out in the past few days, we won't go out first." ”

The old man only stood at the door, and did not go any further.

The proprietress quickly responded, picking out a large bag of fresh vegetables from the vegetable basket, "Uncle, do you want a few pieces of fresh meat this morning, if you want it, I will give you a piece of cutting points." ”

I made a big bag for the old man and delivered it to the door.

"Uncle, I'll keep an account for you again, now we don't dare to accept banknotes, just wait for you to go back and let the baby send me a red envelope on WeChat!"

The old man answered, carrying a large bag of vegetables and walking away slowly. The proprietress picked up the alcohol and sprayed it a few times on her hands and nearby.

"Hey, the uncle is also pitiful, his eldest son's family has all been diagnosed, and he and the old lady at home are isolated every day and dare not go out, this is because there is really nothing to eat at home, so I came to buy some here. The hostess was full of sympathy.

"What about the property in the community? I heard that there will be someone who is responsible for the confirmed patients at home. ”

"How can there be any property in this kind of old community, usually pay a property fee, and someone will clean it is already very good. The proprietress picked up the alcohol spray gloves again, and now at this time, the people of the property don't know where to go, "Like these old people who live in the community, they don't know how to use WeChat Alipay, and they don't have the idea of calling the property for help in everything." At such an age, I can't let them run two or three kilometers to buy groceries! So even if I'm scared, I still have to keep the shop, and I can do what I can during this special period. ”

After obtaining the consent of the proprietress, Guo Anan recorded what the proprietress said on video. And exchanged contact information with the hostess, if necessary, at least to inform each other.

She walked out of the shop movingly, her heart turbulent. There are always so many ordinary people, at such a critical moment, who sacrifice their own interests to protect the interests of another part of the people, in addition to medical staff, they should also be heroes worthy of leaving their names in this epidemic prevention and control.

After walking around the neighborhood, except for a few old people who hurried home with vegetables, Guo Anan didn't see any more young people. And most of the shops along the street are also guarded by the iron general, and they are very deserted.

Back at Tongren Hotel, Guo Anan received a voice call from Wei Nan before he turned on the computer.

On the other end of the phone, Wei Nan cried: "Sister An, I lost the protective materials I sent!"
