It was Lin Sining's phone.

Zhao Xiaohe, who had seen the storm, still answered the phone head-on.

Sure enough, as soon as the phone was connected, he was scolded by Lin Sining, who didn't explain anything, just admitted his mistake.

"Hurry up and cooperate with Zhao Sanfu to get the rest done! At the end, after Lin Sining said this, he hung up the phone angrily.

From Lin Sining's words, Zhao Xiaohe had heard that Zhao Sanfu had also been criticized, and when he looked at Zhao Sanfu again, his face was full of guilt.

When he answered the phone, he went out of the yard of the second uncle's house, answered the phone under a tree where no one was there, and when he returned to the second uncle's house after answering the phone, the police had already left, and Zhao Sanfu and Zhao Wenming had already stood outside the yard.

"Nobody wants that to happen. Zhao Sanfu met his gaze, his tone was still calm, but his frowns betrayed the anxiety in his heart.

"Have you asked who my second uncle and aunt have been in contact with recently?" Zhao Xiaohe was worried.

Zhao Sanfu nodded: "Fortunately, from two four to twenty-seven, because your second aunt suffered from vertigo, your second uncle stayed at home to take care of her, and the two of them didn't go out much, and they didn't even go to the market." The twenty-eight and twenty-eight families began to pull radishes to sell before going to the vegetable field, but at that time, the village had already paid attention to the pneumonia epidemic and repeatedly reminded everyone to wear masks. Your second uncle has always supported you in your work, and after you sent the mask over, they put it on as they said. ”

Zhao Wenming couldn't help but look at Zhao Xiaohe and interjected: "Your second uncle is really good, he usually supports your work so much, but I didn't expect to cause you so much trouble at a critical moment." What a fool of a fool for a lifetime!"

"His second uncle's intestines are about to turn green at this time. Zhao Sanfu motioned to Zhao Wenming not to talk about it anymore, "But his second uncle and aunt also knew about Xiaoyan's sister-in-law coming back from Wuhan, and he couldn't complain about them in the end." Even if he told Xiaohe about Xiaoyan taking her sister-in-law back to Zhaojiazhou for dinner, if Xiaoyan didn't say that her sister-in-law was from Wuhan, we wouldn't think much about it. ”

After thinking about it, Zhao Sanfu looked at Zhao Xiaohe again, "Your second uncle and second aunt are Xiaoyan's daughters, and now Xiaoyan's sister-in-law is still testing, the situation is unknown, your second uncle and second aunt must be on fire at this time, you go over to accompany them." Don't go into the yard, just talk to them outside. Maybe it's really just a common cold and fever. ”

Zhao Xiaohe nodded, and when he was about to turn around, Zhao Sanfu shouted to him again, "Although there are uncertain factors in it, no matter what, this responsibility still has to be borne by us in the end, and it is our work that is not in place, so no matter what the villagers say, you can endure it, don't explain, the explanation is in vain, it is better to save some lips and tongues, do the work behind with peace of mind, and speak with practical actions." ”

"I know. Zhao Xiaohe bowed his head and walked back sullenly.

Zhao Sanfu said that his second uncle and aunt's heart was burning like fire at this time, and his heart was not overwhelming.

Recently, I have seen a lot of sadness caused by pneumonia on the Internet, but those who are too far away from him, in addition to sympathy or sympathy in his heart, are different at this time, because at this time it is his own relatives who are involved, and it is not a person, it is a family!

Sure enough, if the hammer didn't hit his foot, he didn't know how much it hurt.

Zhao Xiaohe, who prides himself on being a strong man, tasted panic.

Although Zhao Xiaoyan is only his cousin, because the second uncle and aunt are the only one child in the family, the second uncle and aunt, who get along with his parents very well, treat him and his sister as their own children, so he and his sister also treat their cousin as their own sister. Zhao Xiaoyan is five years younger than him, he and his sister have been his and sister's followers since he was a child, and he also likes his brothers and sisters very much, but whenever there is anything to eat at home, he will run to give it to his brothers and sisters to share. He also completely took on the responsibility of the eldest brother, and if any of the children in the village dared to bully his cousin, even if the other party was a big man who was a cut above him, he would definitely fight back. Later, his sister married far away, and it was rare to come back once a year, and his relationship with his cousin became closer. It's just that although my cousin got married closely, she went to open a store with her husband, and now she has also bought a house in another place to settle down, and he is very reluctant.

On the evening of the twenty-third day of the year, Zhao Xiaoyan's family left in a hurry, did not bother to come to his house to see them, and they were always reluctant to go, and both of them called him and his parents to explain, and also made an appointment with him to come over on Chinese New Year's Eve, ready to have a drink with him.

When the New Year's Festival was canceled, Zhao Xiaohe specially called his cousin to explain that he had made an appointment with her and his wife to invite them over for a good drink when the epidemic was lifted.

It's just that I didn't expect such a thing to happen at this time.

Although a diagnosis does not mean death, it still cannot escape the emotional domination of fear, and who knows who will fall on that unfortunate mortality rate?

And it is not known how many people they have come into contact with, and if they are diagnosed, I don't know how many people will be implicated.

Facing pneumonia for the first time, I can't even stabilize my state, let alone the second uncle and aunt who are worried about their daughters and grandchildren?

Zhao Xiaohe sighed secretly, and with a heavy heart, dragged heavy steps to the door of the second uncle's courtyard.

Although the courtyard door was closed, the door of the house was not closed, and the sound of weeping came from the house.

Hearing that it was the cry of the second aunt Shu Meixiang, Zhao Xiaohe shouted softly into the house: "Second aunt." ”

The crying in the house stopped suddenly, but Shu Meixiang did not come out, it was Zhao Zhengrong who came out.

Zhao Zhengrong, whose face was pale, stood under the eaves, looking at Zhao Xiaohe in a daze through the iron door, the mask moved slightly, but he didn't make any sound.

Seeing that the second uncle's hands were a little shaky, and it seemed that he was several years old all of a sudden, Zhao Xiaohe's nose was a little sour, but he still held back, forced out a smile, and comforted softly: "Second uncle, you tell the second aunt not to worry, isn't Xiaoyan's sister-in-law still testing? Maybe it's just a common cold." Besides, it doesn't matter if it is diagnosed, haven't we Qinglan already been diagnosed with dozens of cases of pneumonia? So far, we have not heard of any deaths, only those who have been cured and discharged from the hospital. ”

Because the test report will come out in another hour or two, he didn't dare to comfort the second uncle and aunt with words that he would not be diagnosed with 100% of the diagnosis, for fear that too much ups and downs would easily make the second uncle and aunt who were extremely anxious collapse.

Zhao Zhengrong looked at Zhao Xiaohe with complicated eyes, and after a while, he suddenly choked up and asked: "If Xiaoyan's family all have pneumonia, will they ......?"

"No, no, no!" Zhao Xiaohe waved his hand again and again to interrupt, "Second uncle, don't be so pessimistic! Pneumonia is not a terminal illness!"

"But a lot of people have died of pneumonia!" Shu Meixiang cried and answered in the house, "I heard from the neighbors that there are too many people dying in some places, and the crematorium can't be burned." ”

Zhao Xiaohe hurriedly persuaded: "That's a rumor! Second aunt, don't listen to their nonsense! Did you see news on TV that the crematorium can't be burned to win?"

"They say that the country is afraid of causing panic, so TV stations are not allowed to report indiscriminately, and now all the content reported on TV is the content of the '15th day of the new year', and all they say are the words of the 15th day of the new year!" Shu Meixiang continued to cry.

"Second aunt, if there is really such a panic as you said, will the common people still sit at home and wait for death in peace? It will definitely cause a riot! Do you see where is not actively fighting the epidemic now? How can a country as big and strong as ours allow that kind of thing to happen? Don't think too much, you should go back to your room and rest first. ”

"I don't go back to my room to rest, I'm just waiting for Xiaoyan's news here. Shu Meixiang cried again, "God, Zhengrong and I haven't done anything bad in our lives, we have incense on you on the fifteenth day of the new year, you have to watch it with your eyes wide open!

"Second aunt, second aunt, don't worry......" Seeing that Shu Meixiang couldn't be persuaded to do so, Zhao Xiaohe had to persuade Zhao Zhengrong to help Shu Meixiang go back to the room, "Don't let the second aunt cry and hurt her body." ”

"Let her cry. Holding it is uncomfortable. Zhao Zhengrong's voice was also a little choked, but he didn't go back to the house, nor did he move the stool out, he just put his hands into his sleeves and crouched down against the wall.

Zhao Xiaohe persuaded Zhao Zhengrong a few more words, and when he saw that he was persuaded not to go in, he simply didn't persuade him, took out the cigarette case from his pocket, took off the mask, took out a cigarette and lit it, and smoked violently.

He knew that the hours of waiting for testing, every minute and every second, were torment for his cousin's family and his second uncle and aunt.

It was also a torment for him.

In the process of smoking, he received a call from Chen Lanlan again to inquire about the test results - this was the third time she had called to ask for the same thing, but she still didn't know three words, and she hung up the phone in disappointment.

It turned out that they were not the only ones who endured the torment.

His heart was still pressed by the boulder, and he sighed deeply.

After smoking one cigarette, he snuffed out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash, and he began to smoke a second and a third.

Looking into the courtyard from time to time, the second uncle was still squatting at the base of the wall motionless, and the second aunt's low sobs continued to come from the house.

When he finished smoking the only cigarettes in the cigarette case, he threw the cigarette case into the trash, put on his mask, and began to pacing back and forth on the road at the gate of the yard in a fraternity, looking at his watch from time to time, and silently counting in his mind how many more test results would come out, while preparing for the worst in his heart.

In the middle, Zhao Wenming rode an electric car once, he asked Zhao Wenming for a pack of cigarettes, and continued to smoke after Zhao Wenming left.

At about eleven o'clock, Zhao Sanfu called: "Xiaoyan's sister-in-law's test results are out." ”
