Chapter 4 Volunteers

"The community is fundamental to the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. In order to carry out epidemic prevention work quickly, efficiently and orderly, we are now issuing a call for epidemic prevention and control work for volunteers in the city. The service content is to work with community cadres to carry out registration and investigation, body temperature monitoring, epidemic prevention publicity, telephone return visits, etc. in the non-property management community within the jurisdiction.

Volunteers will receive training, master epidemic prevention knowledge in the shortest possible time, adopt the "online and offline interactive" volunteer service mode to carry out their work, participate in epidemic prevention and control as much as they can, contact professional emergency response forces, and carry out epidemic prevention service work in a scientific, orderly and effective manner in accordance with the law......"

Seeing this leaflet, Rob immediately had a thought in his heart. She can't do something very professional like her sister and Ye Ye's father, but she still has the power to investigate and publicize this series of things. Instead of sighing and doing nothing at home, it is better to participate in community epidemic prevention!

Rob held the leaflet in his hand, looked up at his mother who was busy in the kitchen, and hesitated for a moment to find his father first.

Seeing that her expression was different, Dad hurriedly asked with concern, "What's wrong with Xiaobu?"

Rob doesn't have to be quiet and gentle with his sister Roland, she is usually lively and active, and she has a lot of ghost ideas, so when Dad Luo saw her eyes burning, he knew what idea she was thinking in her heart, and he couldn't help but be vigilant, so as not to mess with the little girl.

Rob gestured to his dad with a boo, then handed over the leaflet and whispered, "Dad, look." ”

Luo's father looked down at the leaflet in his hand, which was handed to him when he bought eggs, he took it casually and put it in the bag containing the eggs, and did not pay attention to what was written on it.

Rob cautiously tentatively said, "Dad, I want to sign up for volunteer ......"

Dad Luo looked up at her in surprise: "When your sister was going back to work in the hospital before, weren't you still a hundred unhappy, why did you have to move forward?"

Luo's father is a man, and Luo's mother's thoughts are naturally different, Roland is responsible for his profession, responsible for colleagues and patients, he is more worried than proud of his daughter, and now the millet worm at home has sprouted such an understanding, he is very happy, which shows that his daughter has grown up and knows what kind of responsibility the individual should bear for the society.

"Have you thought about it?"

Rob heard that his father did not immediately object, so he became excited, "Dad, I'm not a three-minute hot-blooded person! Besides, I'm a sophomore! The people infected with pneumonia this time are all older and younger, and people like me who are young and in good health are not easy to be infected, I will take good care of my protection, protect myself and then do the rest, you have to believe me!"

Dad Luo asked, "Do you know the number of infected people now?"

Rob was silent for a moment and nodded, because her sister worked in the hospital, she paid close attention to the epidemic every day, thinking of more and more people being infected, a trace of fear and horror flashed in her heart for a moment, but she immediately suppressed this feeling and said: "However, if no one is willing to do these basic epidemic prevention work, no matter how good the prevention and control plan and epidemic prevention policy are above, it will be in vain, and the virus will find us sooner or later." ”

Luo's father looked at his daughter even more surprised, thinking that by saying a few words to scare and scare her, she would be able to dispel her thoughts, but she didn't expect Rob to think so clearly. It's not that he doesn't support his daughter, he's just afraid that his daughter will do it on a whim, if she looks at this matter casually, she will not only harm herself, but also others.

Seeing that his father didn't speak for a long time, Rob thought that he didn't agree, so he couldn't help but pull his arm and shake it for a while, trying to let his eyes radiate a sincere light, so that his father could feel his sincerity, "Dad...... With you and my mother and brother-in-law taking care of Yanyan, and I don't have anything to do at home, haven't you always asked me to do something meaningful? You have to believe me, I am not a whim, I will definitely do things seriously!"

If Dad doesn't agree, then Mom doesn't make sense!

Dad Luo glanced at her with a smile and nodded, "I agree with your decision, but ...... Your mother, I'm afraid she won't let go easily, I'll help you intercede. ”

"Really?" Rob's eyes lit up, if there was his father's help, the success rate would naturally be much higher!

Luo's father got up from the sofa, walked into the kitchen and closed the door, and went to negotiate with Luo's mother.

Rob nervously shrunk on the sofa and listened, and sure enough, before Rob's father went in for two minutes, his mother's loud voice came from the kitchen, and then there was a "bang" of the kitchen door, which scared Rob to tremble. Presumably my mother was going to come out to find Rob, but was stopped by my father.

Then for a long time I could only hear the whispers of my father and my mother, and Rob never felt that time had been so long!

After a while, Dad came out of the kitchen and winked at him, signaling Mom to say yes! Rob jumped off the couch with a silent cheer and gave Dad a thumbs up.

The old mother came out of the kitchen with the dishes and glared at Rob fiercely, "Children's family, what kind of fun!"

Rob hippie smiled, "Mom, didn't you say that day, I'm a sophomore, not a kid anymore, and you persuaded me to fall in love or something!"

Mom glared at her and put the dishes on the table, "Hmph, don't be ashamed!"

Rob shrunk his neck and hurriedly followed to serve the food.

Ye Ye crossed his feet to help set up the chopsticks and said, "Sister Xiaobu is also going to work?"

Rob smiled at her, "yes, my sister is going to volunteer to protect our community." ”

Ye Ye said enviously: "Sister is so amazing! When Ye Ye grows up a little more, he will also be a promising young man!"

"Do you know what a promising youth is?"

Rob was so happy, and Luo's father and mother also laughed, but he didn't forget to tell Rob not to be reckless and pay attention to protection.

In the afternoon, Luo's father took out the few remaining N95 masks at home and handed them to her, and Rob took out a belt, a hat and disposable gloves, and covered himself tightly before taking the leaflet to the community to sign up.

The sky was gray, and the clammy and cold breath penetrated through the clothes, Rob had been in the city for almost two years, and he was still a little uncomfortable with the weather.

Before he reached the gate of the community, Rob saw a familiar figure and shouted at the back, "Beauty!"

Liang Yu, who was wearing a pink down jacket in front, turned around and said in surprise: "Radish!"

Liang Yu's nickname comes from "Beauty Like Jade", and Rob's nickname is because of the homophonic relationship, the two are in the same university, although they are not in the same department, but they live closely, so the relationship is very good. Rob didn't expect to run into his best friend when he went downstairs for the first time in many days.

"Why are you here?" she just asked, when she saw the volunteer recruitment leaflet in Liang Yu's hand, "Hey, you're here to sign up for volunteers?"

As soon as Liang Yu heard this, she knew that she was also going to sign up, and immediately rushed over excitedly, "Are you too? Great! I was still a little scared, but now I have company! How did you convince your parents?"

Rob smiled and bent his eyes: "Thanks to my father's high ideological consciousness, he took care of my mother for me!"

Liang Yu sighed deeply when he heard this: "Your father is amazing! I was at home, but my mouth was about to be worn out before I persuaded my father and mother! I was simply a sunflower fighting zombies alone, and I was almost eaten alive without the slightest attack power......

The two laughed for a while, and together they pushed open the glass door of the community service station. First, they were taken at temperature, then they registered their personal information and asked about their recent travels.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with them, the staff took them inside and trained them with other volunteers in batches to train basic epidemic prevention knowledge, and also provided insurance and necessary protective measures for the volunteers.

In addition to the two of them, there are many volunteers who came to sign up, although their identities are very different and their ages are different, but they are all here for epidemic prevention and are very friendly to each other.

"Volunteer" is a general term, but in fact, epidemic prevention volunteers fighting on the front line of epidemic prevention and control often wear multiple hats, and may be propagandists, persuaders, goalkeepers, disinfectants, side dish workers, and maintenance workers at the same time...... Some people have to come into contact with dozens or even hundreds of residents, not only face a higher risk of infection than the average person every day, often overwork, but also often have to face various social emotions, and sometimes encounter incomprehension and non-cooperation from service users.

The community staff told Rob a little nervous about what might happen, but she couldn't afford to be scared back before she even started working.

After the training, the volunteers were assigned to their respective positions, and Rob and Liang Yu knew each other, so they were assigned to the Tianjiang Imperial Garden Community, where there were insufficient property personnel, to register the people and vehicles coming and going, and at the same time to carry out epidemic prevention publicity.

This community is Liang Yu's community, she is more familiar with it, the two of them are familiar with the road to the property to explain the situation, and they were assigned to the sentry box at the south gate.

Because it was late today, everyone went back first after claiming the content of the work.

The next day, he had to get up early to take over the shift, so Rob went to bed early after eating, but when he got up the next morning, the news that Wubei City was going to be closed was all over the sky.

Rob was really stunned for a while, and looked at the time of the disappearance release, it was more than three o'clock in the morning.

"From 10 o'clock on February 5, 2023, the city's urban buses, subways, ferries, and long-distance passenger transport will be suspended; ”

This news really made Luo Bu unable to come back to his senses for a long time, and the closure of the city meant that the entire Wubei City would be isolated.
