Chapter 7 It's New Year

Inscription: Knocking into a jade chime through the forest suddenly made the sound of glass shattering

When Zhu Yi came to Jiahe Community, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. In the Wanjia community where Jiahe Community is located, the hall is brightly lit, and many people have gathered, people are talking about something, and some people are watching big-screen TVs. The TV screen is broadcasting the city's news, the city's two sessions are being held, and the work report has become a hot spot and focus. Chen Mingsan, director of the Jiahe Community Business Committee, is in his fifties, tall and thin, with most of his hair gray, and was originally the director of a glove factory owned by a collective. He himself rented a house in the community, opened a restaurant, with a mahjong room, and usually speculated in stocks and bought lottery tickets. Beside him is Lu Sanxi, the manager of Jiahe Community Property Company, who started his career by selling cigarettes, his way of doing things is very simple, money can make ghosts grind, and he only makes money in his life. There was also Shen Zhongkun in the crowd, that is, Zhu Yi's father-in-law. He usually rarely shows his head, three things at home, dancing and writing, flowers and plants, studying literature, history and philosophy, but today he came, people know that he is the deputy hall of the official residence, has a wide range of social resources, and has deep connections, giving people the impression that he is steady, majestic, upright, kind, dare to speak straight, and has done some practical things for the community, such as calling the director of the Forestry Bureau of his old subordinate to green the community, and asking acquaintances of the Bureau of Culture and Sports to install some public fitness facilities in the community. Chen Mingsan, director of the business committee, often consults Shen Zhongkun's opinion first, and the owners also think that Director Shen is more reliable, dares to speak fairly, and can do some practical things. In addition, there are retired old professor Yao Lin, and the company's CEO Lin Weiyin are also present, especially the writer and reporter Xiong Jun, who is also among them.

At this time, Fang Jia, secretary of the general party branch of Wanjia community, came. She was thirty-six or seven years old, she looked very young, handsome and cheerful, doing things in a hurry, a bit of a man's style, she shook Zhu Yi's hand: "Doctor Zhu, you seem to be missing, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”

Zhu Yi said: "Director Chen of the Industry Committee specially notified me to come to the meeting, what is the theme?" ”

Fang Jia said: "I heard that there is something to be done, and the community will hold a hundred family banquets on the occasion of the Spring Festival. ”

Zhu Yi smiled and walked over to the crowd, where people were still talking about what was on TV.

Chen Mingsan clapped his hands: "Fellow villagers, let's watch the news for 30 minutes, important news, and the city's work report. ”

Retired professor Yao Lin is an expert in virology, although he has not achieved much in his life, he is still very concerned about current affairs. He said, "What's the TV show? What does this have to do with our rice bags, vegetable baskets, oil cans, and medicine slivers? ”

His words drew a burst of laughter.

Lu Sanxi, the property manager, said: "I hope that the property fee will rise, oops, I didn't make any money, I lost!" ”

His words were questioned by Chen Mingsan and others. Chen Mingsan said: "Manager Lu, don't shout, you have been in Jiahe Community for three years, let alone earn two or three million a year, man, it's going to be the New Year, what benefits do you give to the owners?" ”

Lu Sanxi touched his flat head embarrassedly, pondered for a moment and said: "Although I didn't earn any silver, I still follow the practice of previous years, with a bag of rice and a wall calendar for each household." His words drew a cheer.

Xiong Jun raised his hands and signaled everyone to be quiet, he has been watching the news and is very concerned about the ** work report. He is a journalist, a well-known expert on social issues, look at his sharp eyes, like two sharp swords of light, as if to penetrate everything, always with scrutiny and criticism, radiating criticism and praise, in the industry is known for in-depth investigation and exposure of news, the reporter circle calls him "bear horn".

Xiong Jun said: "Everyone, I, Xiong Horn, take this opportunity to talk to the neighbors. "Everyone's eyes were on it. He continued: "Wuhan more than two months ago, the successful hosting of the World Military Games, this can be said to be the highlight of Wuhan, everyone is happy for a while, proud for a while, happy for several months, but the number of registered people in Wuhan is more than 9 million, the non-resident population is more than 5 million, and more than 14 million people eat, drink and sleep in this city every day!" However, ** seems to be betting on urban construction and demographic dividend, its GDP growth exceeds that of first-tier cities, and the total amount exceeds that of Tianjin, which seems to represent the development model of China's big cities, but I think that the rulers are operating this megacity as a company, not as a megacity to manage! ”

Xiong Horn's remarks aroused people's interest, everyone listened quietly, he continued: "You look at the ** work report broadcast on TV just now, investment in manufacturing and the like, sprinkled in the newspaper at least tens of thousands of words, what to say, GDP is in charge, GDP is the hero, of course it is right to attach importance to GDP, but Wuhan is a megacity, there are more than 14 million people in it, floating population outside, public health, people's livelihood services, disease control these major issues, There are only a few words in the report, and not a single number! ”

Old Professor Yao Lin nodded and said loudly: "I completely agree with what Reporter Xiong said!" ”

Fang Jia, secretary of the general branch of the community party, said: "I basically agree, but development is the last word!" ”

Professor Yao Lin said: "Secretary Fang, you are only thirty-six or seven years old, I am forty years older than you, I eat more salt than you eat, I have crossed more bridges than you walk, development must not ignore the people's livelihood, let alone use the people's livelihood as an excuse to despise the overall balance!" ”

Fang Jia's face flushed, and because of the old professor's face, he didn't say anything anymore, thinking, "Is it wrong?" Always right! ”

Yao Lin stood up and said confidently: "If the mayor pursues utilitarianism and takes the stimulus of the economy as the only top priority, it is obviously not in line with the long-term development strategy of the central government, and it is a manifestation of not being fully responsible for the citizens!" ”

Some nodded in agreement.

In order to stabilize the situation, Chen Mingsan said: "Everyone be quiet and listen to Director Shen's opinion." Although Shen Zhongkun is retired, he still pays attention to the situation in the world, the whole country, the whole province and the whole city, the news must be seen, several major online news are browsed every day, and he also opened a personal public account, and recently registered Douyin. For feng shui astrology, the five elements and gossip and even the Yellow Emperor's internal scriptures are also involved.

He said: "First of all, I agree with Reporter Xiong. Urbanization should not become a city disease, our country's per capita income has reached 10,000 US dollars, and there are more than a dozen megacities with a population of more than 10 million. I can boldly say that China's urbanization has reached a crossroads! ”

People nodded, some gave thumbs up.

Shen Zhongkun paused and continued: "Let's not talk about this report now, I want to say another thing, everyone knows that the Year of Gengzi in the lunar calendar is coming soon, how many of you present know what year it is?" ”

People looked at each other, Xiong Jun said: "Anyway, there are many uncertainties in the year of Gengzi, and in the Opium War in 1840, Gengzi paid compensation; In 1900, the Boxer Rebellion and the Eight-Nation Coalition attacked China. ”

Yao Lin added: "Gengzi Year is always coincidental with some special events, the people have long had the disaster of Gengzi, Gengzi Dakan, Gengzi reincarnation, at least most of the Chinese, have a bad impression of Gengzi Year." ”

Fang Jia spit out two words: "Superstition." ”

Shen Zhongkun said: "We must understand some history, and take history as a mirror, so that we can know the rise and fall." Of course, we are now a socialist country, and our national and political systems are very stable, but we must also be cautious and cautious, not only to sail straight to the sea, but also to be careful to sail thousands of miles away."

At this time, Lin Weiyin, the real estate boss present and the general manager of Shuangqiao Farmers' Market, couldn't help but say, "Director Shen, why are you doing this?" History is written by the victors, history can not be eaten, you take the risk (no) to do, you can go to play mahjong, drink tea, practice Tai Chi, if there is no place, my company has a venue, and there is a gym! ”

People burst into laughter. Shen Zhongkun said solemnly: "Although history cannot be eaten as a meal, it sometimes repeats itself amazingly!" ”

Chen Ming said three times: "Everyone, now back to business, the topic of this meeting is to discuss, on the occasion of the arrival of the Lunar Gengzi Year, hold a banquet of 100 families in Jinghe Street Wanjia Community Jiahe Community, so as to promote the exchange of owners, enhance friendship, and promote the atmosphere of neighborly harmony and mutual assistance, which is also the actual love of the people and the people-friendly activities that we implement the policies of the superiors, please express your views." ”

Shen Zhongkun was the first to stand up: "I'm against it!" ”

Professor Yao Lin said firmly: "I am against it too!" ”

Lu Sanxi thought: "There may be thousands of people participating in the 100-family banquet in Jiahe Community, he has contacted some businesses to advertise and handle related business, and also contacted more than a dozen businesses to enter the stalls, he is ready to take the opportunity to make a handful, and can send next year's property contract to every household, if it is not held, then the plan will be in vain." He said: "I agreed to hold it, and I have a Coke Sprite."

Zhu Yi has been listening to everyone's speeches and discussions on the side, and he has been quiet. In his mind, he is full of fever patients, unknown pneumonia patients, and hidden terrible and hateful virus demons that are sneaking up on us, these viruses are extremely contagious, and they are the common enemies we are facing.

He said: "Neighbors, I suggest that we Jiahe do not hold any hundred family banquets, I don't know if you have noticed, now the number of fever patients is increasing, in winter and spring, it is the season of frequent and high incidence of various epidemics, especially influenza, don't do good things into bad things!" ”

His words caught Xiong Jun's attention. Xiong Jun asked Zhu Yi: "Doctor Zhu, I heard that there is an unknown pneumonia spreading, is this true or false?" ”

Zhu Yi said: "We have such patients in Fumin Hospital. ”

Lin Weiyin asked vigilantly: "Is it infectious?" ”

Zhu Yi thought for a while: "Pathologically speaking, it is contagious. ”

Xiong Jun said: "I saw an urgent notice on the prevention and treatment of unknown pneumonia, a red-headed document, but why is there no news in the past few days? There is no epidemic report in the newspapers, and there is no mention on the TV and radio, what the hell is going on? ”

Xiong Jun's clever gaze turned, approached Zhu Yi, and asked in a low voice: "I heard that a doctor spread rumors that pneumonia is contagious and was arrested by the public security?" ”

Zhu Yi nodded: "It's all stabbing the sky, TV is broadcasting, and the people of the whole country know it!" ”

Xiong Jun relied on the wisdom and sensitivity of the reporter and said: "I think there must be a problem here, if it is really a plague, this is a big game!" ”

At this time, someone amplified the sound of the TV and said, "Look, watch!" The TV is showing a famous host interviewing an expert, and the focus is on whether the outbreak of unknown pneumonia in Wuhan can infect people, and whether it can be prevented and controlled? Everyone stared at the TV with bated breath, and when one of the people on the TV said with confidence: Unknown pneumonia will not be transmitted from person to person or limited from person to person, and it can be prevented and controlled!

When the people heard his words, they applauded in unison, exhaled heavily, and the stone that pressed on the bottom of their hearts disappeared, and they were much more relaxed. Especially when they heard the person on TV who seemed to be confident in saying the phrase, "Everyone has a safe New Year", they laughed. Someone said loudly, friends, let's go to the New Year's goods tomorrow morning, and while the price is not so high now, hurry up and cut the meat and marinate the fish and canned sausages.

At this time, Zhu Yi's mobile phone rang, and it was a call from his colleague Sun Aibing. Sun Aibing had just come out of the critical care ward, his voice was a little trembling, and he said, "Nurse Xiaofang was infected with unknown pneumonia, with a fever and a dry cough. ”

Zhu Yi asked: "How is the testing situation?" ”

Sun Aibing replied: "The condition is more serious, both lungs are white, and they must be isolated!" ”

Zhu Yi said: "I will return to the hospital immediately, and you will arrange Xiaofang into the isolation ward." ”

Sun Aibing said: "Quickly find a way to increase the number of temporary beds!" You inform other personnel, be sure to take precautions! ”

Fang Jia is the secretary of the general party branch of Wanjia Community, but he is also a contract worker who buys services, not a formal cadre within the system. People call her Secretary Fang, and it sounds like that, but she knows that she is actually an errand worker in the Wanjia community. There are nine staff members in this community, three special managers, and five network workers, all of whom are contract workers, with a salary of less than 3,000 yuan per month. To buy a piece of paper and a pen, you have to go to Jinghe Street for approval. However, the superiors trusted her, as the person in charge of the party and government of Wanjia Community, she had to seek her own government in her position, and she had to fulfill her duties. Her way of doing things is very simple, try to do the prescribed actions as much as possible, and basically do less optional actions. The so-called prescribed actions are the tasks assigned by the superiors, and the so-called optional actions are the things that the community can do or not do.

Liu Mingsan asked: "Secretary Fang, do you express your position, do you want to do it or not?" ”

Fang Jia pondered for a moment, don't look at her young, but she is a secretary in the community but she is sophisticated. She said: "I have to report this matter to Secretary Cheng Xiao and Director Wen Xigao of the street. ”

Chen Mingsan said: "Okay, I ask you to report to Secretary Cheng Xiao and Director Wen Xigao of the street, and we will wait for you to reply." He then said to the people present, "When the cold wave comes, let it all disperse, let it all disperse." ”

Shen Zhongkun said: "Zhuyi, I have stewed lotus root at home, as well as beef and radish soup, you go and improve it." ”

Zhu Yi whispered to his father-in-law: "Now I don't know that the pneumonia is serious, I must go back to the hospital immediately, the situation is very urgent, you have to go out less at present, and it is best not to participate in gathering activities." ”

Shen Zhongkun straightened his body, as if he was very sure, and said: "My body is 188 pounds, and from the early days of liberation to the present, I seem to be afraid of colds. ”

Zhu Yi said: "The virus has no borders, no distinction between dignity and inferiority, and everyone is equal in the face of the epidemic. ”

At this time, Hu Jieming, an incumbent deputy director of Jiahe Community, came over, he always looked superior, and asked in an official tone: "Doctor Zhu, do you still have a single ward in your hospital?" ”

Zhu Yi glanced at him and said, "Director Hu, if you want a single ward, you have to find a superior leader, I can't help it!" ”

When Hu Jie heard this, he was very unhappy.
