Volume 1: The Eve of Doom Chapter 58 The Journey Home
Happiness does not know how time passes, and the eight-day quarantine is over in the blink of an eye, and when the Iroquois roars up, there is more reluctance than joy in the eyes of everyone. Qin Tianwu even gave Ginkgo Middle School a flying kiss, making the Heavy think that he had short-circuited his head because he had been isolated from the world for too long. It wasn't until he learned what had happened that he praised them for their good luck.
Time is like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, the year is approaching. Jia Zhongquan called all the administrative floors to the conference room, unlike usual, he came very early today, and with an irrepressible smile on his face, on the chair behind him, Secretary Liu's face was also a burst of excitement that could not be concealed.
People arrived one after another, Wei Yilin secretly counted, there were two less, he looked at Liu Shimeng again, but found that the latter's forehead was tied with a circle of bloodstained gauze, I don't know, did he go to Huanzhou again.
"Guys, what about today's meeting. The main thing is to announce a piece of good news. Jia Zhongquan completely ignored the existence of Secretary Liu, grabbed the speech and read, "Before that, let us first pay the highest respect to the compatriots who died in the prevention and treatment of severe diseases in Huanzhou, headed by Chief Chen Xianyuan. ”
This was explosive news, and the more than 20 people present were all shocked, but due to the discipline of the venue, no one exchanged their heads and ears, and no one made a sound.
After a while, Jia Zhongquan continued: "According to the report of the Chixian Prevention and Control Center, as of February 1, all parts of the country have been in a row for 26 days or more, with zero new cases and zero new suspected cases. In view of this, our center believes that the epidemic has been completely controlled, and the ban can be lifted as appropriate. ”
In an instant, joy flooded everyone's faces, and even the most moody people showed bright smiles.
Now read out the warrant of Director Xu: I heard that my brother and others have been fighting for months, although they are tired and do not dare to slack off, my brother is very relieved, the situation has been decided, and the New Year is approaching, my brother can choose a day to return home and spend this festival with his family. Brother benefit. Jia Zhongquan closed the small note, and then waved his hand. Secretary Liu, who was behind him, understood, stood up, and read out the official document aloud. Of course, the content of the document is much more subtle than the warrant, and it doesn't smell the meaning of a holiday, but these, that is, to make a show, after all, everyone knows that after working for three months in a row, the robot will also be broken.
The people below were jubilant again, and the sadness brought about by the death of the robe was swept away, too, people always remember the joy and forget the sorrow, and if they want to hold on to the sadness, how tired should they be?
"The robes in the field have also been isolated for more than half a month, and they are all alive, right? In this way, let's go back and make arrangements, and divide into three groups to take turns to rest, each group for three days. Jia Zhongquan clapped his palms and stopped the noise, "If it's early, you can have a reunion dinner, and if it's late, you can have a personal day." After the New Year, how about everyone keep up their efforts? ”
"The commissioner is wise!"
The signal of returning home was like a drop of ink falling into the clear water tank, quickly dissolving and spreading throughout the entire base, for a while, except for Professor Zheng Lao, who was still full of sadness, the rest of the people were jubilant, after all, the sky and the earth are big, and going home is the biggest!
"Teacher Zheng, what else do you want? Pack up your things and go home and hug your grandson! Professor Qiu, who was a little younger, patted Zheng Bihuang, who was "nailed" to the office chair like a sculpture, from behind.
"Alas, Teacher Qiu, don't you think they're happy too early?" Zheng Bihuang closed the thick reference book and raised his head, the skin on his face was loose, like a child wearing an adult's clothes. The beard that has not been trimmed for a long time is like a steel needle of different lengths, inserted into the loose chin, "Our perception of it is basically blank." ”
"How old are you, Mr. Zheng? This goes on day and night, and sooner or later it will break itself. Professor Qiu bent down as if packing a ticket for Zheng Mihuang, "Fortunately, this virus only spreads by bodily fluids. The cities of Huanzhou and Yangchuan have been sealed, and other places are still very safe. Listen to me, go back and hug your grandson, wait for the New Year, we go back to school, and then start to attack, this ghost place, it's really tormenting, except for mosquitoes, there is nothing missing, listen to me, go home first. After the New Year, go back to the laboratory, and when the time comes, you will be busy. ”
Jia Zhongquan, who has always insisted on "charging ahead and enjoying last", broke his promise for the first time in his life, just after the meeting, after a few words of instructions to the deputy commissioner, he left the base with his briefcase and rushed to his plane. Without his involvement, you don't want to get ahead. The old father looked at it, he finally became the same, otherwise, this tone would have been in vain for forty years.
With his personal "demonstration", the people below are also unceremoniously, and they have arranged the time to go home according to their ranks or their likes and dislikes. Who doesn't want to have a reunion dinner with their family and share a family relationship?
Wei Yilin directly took the release slip to the place of the epidemic prevention department to "escort" Bai Yunlian away, he knew that today may be his last chance, because after the New Year, the people from the epidemic prevention department will return to their respective laboratories - that is the place to study the virus, and the Haoshan base is just one of the many emergency plans at the beginning, but now that the reason for "urgency" has expired, there is no need to "respond".
Leaving the Haoshan base, the bridge between the two of them was broken, although there was the other party's number, but what was the use? After going their separate ways, the phone book and the address book are just a string of useless numbers.
Therefore, now Wei Yilin "charged" Bai Yunlian out, in fact, he just wanted to stay with her for a while. The smoky train slowly left Ringan and struggled southeast on the winding mountains, its destination was thousands of miles away.
Yuanzhou, Duyu Daozhi, one of the most prosperous cities in the China South region, is Wei Yilin's home, and it is also a land blessed by Mazu. From Ren'an to Yuanzhou, you need to take a train for one day and one night, if you count the return trip, most of the three-day holiday has passed, so Jia Zhongquan opened his mouth, the holiday time is calculated from the actual arrival time, that is to say, Wei Yilin can rest for five days, and Qin Tianwu, who lives in Yuyuan, has reached seven days! (if he doesn't fly).
In the winter of the southern country, the rolling mountains are still endless green, and there is no shadow of snowflakes, let alone the real howl of the north wind. Therefore, people born in the south are usually more tactful...... Or, is it better to be shy?
Wei Yilin wasted a whole day's time, although Bai Yunlian sat opposite him, he couldn't say a word, and the two of them sat together because of a coincidence. The sky was getting gloomy, and Qiao Wu and Zhong Wenfeng also got out of the car one after another, some of them were home, and some of them were about to change trains.
At the end of the day, there were never more than half of the people in the carriages, and although the Spring Festival had restarted, because they were heading from inland to the coast, not the other way around, the carriages were empty, especially the soft sleepers of the gluttonous. Qin Tianwu had already slipped over there to enjoy it. Wei Yilin also wanted to, but he wanted to take a few more glances at Bai Yunlian.
Bai Yunlian's eyes were slightly closed and her lips were slightly open, she was very well-behaved, and she sat upright all day, not like the uncle next to her, putting her feet on the empty seat opposite, nor sleeping sideways like the aunt in the back seat.
Wei Yilin suddenly felt that Bai Yunlian was looking at him, because he was vaguely aware that there was a beam of clear eyes on his body. Perhaps, Bai Yunlian's eyelids never really closed? It seems that when anyone sleeps, they will lose their temper more or less, but Bai Yunlian does not, and even her body seems to be "tense", all of which seems to show that although she has been closing her eyes, she has never fallen asleep.
Wei Yilin guessed half right, Bai Yunlian was indeed looking at him, but not for five or six hours - Wei Yilin was far from being handsome, she just woke up and secretly looked at him for two minutes. To tell the truth, Wei Yilin is old, and his gestures reveal the calmness and calmness of the commander, but as long as he dares to peel off this coat, what is inside is a sensitive and shy heart!
Bai Yunlian felt that Wei Yilin was strong on the surface, but in his bones, he preferred to regard himself as the weak side, for example, that night, after Wei Yilin received that obviously deliberate ball, he didn't laugh angrily, and for example, on the last night of Ginkgo Middle School, Qin Tianwu took the lead in coaxing Wei Yilin to sing, Wei Yilin was unhappy on the surface, but he always let them, dragging on for more than half an hour, just not saying cruel words, and as time went by, his tone even had a little "coquettish" feeling! This is very much to provoke the desire of others to conquer! In the end, the song was naturally sung, but it was comparable to vomiting and mocking.
If he wasn't as scary as he looked, would I have a chance?
Bai Yunlian shook her head fiercely and threw this unfamiliar thought out of the carriage - she also knew that maybe after today, the two would say goodbye forever.
The stars gradually disappeared, and the majestic dark clouds were like snow peaks coming from the plateau, and the body of five thousand blades revealed a sense of pride. A few beams of white-purple electric light surged between the snow peaks, and the raindrops the size of beans were like an endless curtain covering the stiff carriage. The mountains on both sides of the railway are slowly disappearing.
It's been a long time since I've seen such rain in the winter of Jianling.
"Where do you get off?" Finally, Wei Yilin broke the silence that lasted almost the entire day.
"Yuanzhou."
"Do you still want to change trains?"
"No, what about you?"
"I'm also in Yuanzhou."
"Where do you live?"
"Hmm."
The blue-purple electric light jumped down from a thousand feet in the sky, piercing the hearts of both of them at the same time, and the back of their necks was flushed with a trace of excitement at the same moment. The two looked at each other, lowered their heads like lightning, but their hearts bloomed with joy - maybe, there is a real chance?
