Chapter 8: The Darkest Hour

The epidemic situation in a certain place is getting more and more serious, and public information shows that the number of confirmed cases of infection has increased from a few people per day at the beginning to dozens of people, and finally hundreds or even thousands of people.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Shuang received a notice from the community and the unit to minimize going out and wear a mask when going out.

Family gatherings are prohibited, outsiders are prohibited from staying in the house, and those who have returned from other places must report immediately.

And that's not all, soon there were suspected cases in the area and they were quickly confirmed.

The higher-level departments began to set up isolation areas and sent doctors and nurses to station.

The city hospital also dispatched expert nurses to a certain place to provide support.

As a doctor, Xu Shuang sensitively feels that at the beginning of this new year, the darkest moment of surprise is coming.

Although she later talked to Zhou Yu on the phone, she knew that he did not go home and did not have any family gatherings.

This made her breathe a sigh of relief, but she was still worried that Zhou Yu had come back from a certain place, what if something happened?

And he is an insider, and it is not a joke to deliberately conceal this!

In view of various considerations, Xu Shuang, who was full of contradictions in his heart, finally dialed the community's phone number and told the news that her husband had come back before the lockdown of a certain place.

But when people in the community asked her where her husband lived now? Xu Shuang couldn't answer, and when she called her husband's phone, it was already turned off.

Moreover, she hit several times in a day, and the other party still turned off the phone, obviously this guy deliberately cut off contact with the outside world.

Perhaps he has realized the seriousness of the problem and has hidden himself!

Thinking like this, Xu Shuang felt more and more that things were very strange, which made her feel a faint uneasiness in her heart.

She dialed her mother-in-law's mobile phone number, wanting to know through her mother-in-law where Zhou Yu lives now?

Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law replied in a long voice: "I don't know." ”

"Mom! Now there has been a notice from above, and those who come back from a certain place must declare quarantine and then get tested, which is really no joke. ”

Xu Shuang patiently explained to her mother-in-law.

Mother-in-law Lu Daxiu snorted coldly: "I'm not hiding it from you, I really don't know." He hasn't come home again, and now the phone can't get through, I still want to call and ask you? ”

"What? You really don't know? ”

Xu Shuang sighed in his heart, if what his mother-in-law said was true, it seemed that Zhou Yu was really deliberately missing.

Playing missing is a trifle, and it doesn't matter if you want to be normal. But at such a critical moment as the ferocity of the epidemic, if there is really any problem?

Xu Shuang didn't dare to think about it.

Next, she called all the phones or mobile phones of people who were familiar with her husband Zhou Yu, and everyone told her that she didn't know.

Some people only know that Zhou Yu came back from a certain city, but who did he come back with? Where exactly to live? But he couldn't answer.

Xu Shuang became more and more worried. But she couldn't contact her husband, so it was useless for her to worry, so she could only do it in a hurry.

How did she know that people were deliberately avoiding her, hugging and hugging outside, fluttering colorful flags, and living a happy life!

In the face of the epidemic, local medical departments are organizing personnel from the medical system to participate in the fight against the epidemic, in addition to the needs of the region, but also to rush to a certain place.

After receiving such news, many doctors and nurses took the initiative to apply for volunteers and enthusiastically signed up to participate.

Everyone is united, gearing up, and willing to contribute their own strength to the early control of the epidemic.

Xu Shuang was also going to apply to participate, but Dr. Zhang, the head of the department, did not approve it.

She patted Xu Shuang's shoulder and said with a serious expression, "I still want to go!" But think about it, now that we have two doctors in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, you and me, what should we do? Is it closed? ”

"Now that there are no mothers coming, it's useless to keep it." Xu Shuang pouted and muttered quietly.

"You have to keep it when no one comes! That's our job. Dr. Zhang glanced at her: "Judging from the data of our hospital's pregnancy test, many of them are approaching their due dates recently. Sticking to your post and paying attention to prevention and control is also contributing to the country and the epidemic, understand? ”

"Oh!" Xu Shuang responded, suddenly remembered that there was another person in the hospital, looked up and asked, "What day is Liu Min's annual leave?" It's good that she's here. ”

Xu Shuang didn't expect that someone was now staying and flying with her husband, enjoying the love and sweetness, what about me!

"There are still a few days, and I won't go to work until the eighth day of junior high school." Dr. Zhang counted his fingers.

"That's still that long!" Xu Shuang shook his head, canceled the idea of going to support the field, and did his job in a down-to-earth manner.

I don't know if the epidemic came, or if the mothers went to other hospitals. From the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Shuang's obstetrics and gynecology department did not receive a single maternal arrival.

In this way, she is also idle, and she doesn't have to be on duty at night, just send Xiao Li or leave a nurse on duty, and call her when the mother arrives.

Of course, Xu Shuang had not received such a call in the past few days.

With time, Xu Shuang hurriedly prepared some food, but also went back to his parents' house.

My father and mother live in the city, my father Xu Yuan is retired, and my mother Liu Caijuan is a teacher in a primary school in the city and is about to retire.

It is now the winter vacation, and it is the Spring Festival holiday, and the old couple are idle at home, caring about the epidemic situation in a certain place every day, and of course, the region.

"Old man, old man, look! There has been a confirmed case in our city, who came back from a certain place, his name is Zhou, do you say it is our son-in-law? ”

Shortly after getting up in the morning, Liu Caijuan opened her mobile phone and jumped up when she saw such a message.

When her husband Xu Yuan heard this, he quickly turned over and got up, found a coat to put on, and looked at the messages on his mobile phone with his wife head to head.
