Chapter 18: The Wind Rises

Inscription: Several early warblers compete for warm trees, whose spring swallows peck at spring mud

The Municipal Epidemic Prevention Headquarters officially issued the first notice, from 10 o'clock on January 23, 2020, the city's buses, subways, ferries, and long-distance passenger stations will be suspended, and citizens should not leave Wuhan without special reasons, and airports, railway stations and other passages from Han will be temporarily closed for .......

In fact, before the official release of the announcement, a considerable number of people already knew the news that Wuhan was going to be locked down, and in the early hours of the morning, some people rushed to the airport, station, and dock, hoping to get away from Wuhan before the lockdown.

Others flock to supermarkets, vegetable markets and other stores to grab shopping materials, and well-informed citizens have come to the malls or vegetable markets in the middle of the night, and some even go out with their families.

Of course, there are some people, running in major hospitals, they have been crushed by fear, they have no ability to leave the city, they are not in the mood to grab shopping materials, they are running for themselves or their families to see a doctor, to be able to line up for nucleic acid testing or CT examination, to be able to fight for a hospital bed and call for help, they want to live, they want someone to save them in time.

Because of the lockdown notice, Wuhan has completely changed people's established concept of time, the original life trajectory and the life concept that has always been adhered to, in accordance with the life concepts of life, help, risk avoidance, survival, self-protection, response, retrograde, responsibility, perseverance and other life concepts, to the extreme, to the limit, to the extreme.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the evergreen supermarket near the Jiahe community opened, and people poured in, from daily necessities such as rice, noodles, oil, instant noodles, sauces, pickles, raw fish and meat, to disinfectant, alcohol, washing supplies, etc., to buy and buy, and rush. This large supermarket serves more than 3,000 households and tens of thousands of residents in five nearby communities, and in less than two hours, all the goods in the supermarket were sold out. The supermarket organized manpower to go on two more rounds of goods, but they were still sold out, and in the afternoon, several rounds of goods were still snapped up, and at about five o'clock in the afternoon, all the shelves of the supermarket were empty. This situation is not only in Evergreen supermarkets, but also in some supermarkets in the city.

People who are slow to react and move slowly see that the supermarket is empty, complaining, frightened, anxious, looking forward to grabbing the first batch early tomorrow morning. They thought that even if they didn't fit their eyelids and stayed at the door of the supermarket all night, they had to rush to buy supplies.

However, tomorrow is the Spring Festival, and large supermarkets are only open for half a day, and this half day has become the last hope and sprint for people to rush to buy the items they need.

After the trend of people rushing to buy supermarkets, they turned to various pharmacies and small shops, masks, lotus Qingwen, andrographis, oseltamivir, ambisen, multivitamins, etc., were snapped up, and some pharmacy masks rose from two yuan to four yuan, from four yuan to eight yuan, from eight yuan to 16 yuan, from 16 yuan to 32 yuan, from 32 yuan to higher...... Still, people buy and buy because they know that these things, at a critical moment, are worth more than just that, maybe it's a life or a few lives or a family's life!

Lu Jing and Shen Zhongkun were the first to go to the supermarket to queue up, and they grabbed two shopping carts at the first time, and it was very difficult to take every step forward in the crowd. They got their belongings home, and in the afternoon they went to the supermarket for a second wave of panic buying, and they got a lot of supplies, plus the things they bought the other day, the balcony was full, and the two refrigerators were also stuffed. The only regret is that Shen Zhongkun did not buy more diabetes and high blood pressure medicines.

Lu Jing said: "Don't be in a hurry, I'll ride around and buy you enough medicine for a few months."

Lu Jing rode straight to the old neighborhoods in the alleys, where people were relatively closed to information and had not yet snapped up. Her judgment is accurate, in some old communities, most of them live in migrant workers from other places, or some elderly people in the local area. Although they knew about the lockdown in Wuhan, they seemed to have no intention or ability to rush to buy daily necessities and medicines. Their attitude towards life is dismissive and goes with the flow. It was only when others snapped up the items in their small supermarket and pharmacy that they felt they were one step late.

Lu Jing was busy from two or three o'clock in the morning to eight o'clock in the evening this day, and finally completed the major matters of rushing to buy, sat down to drink coffee, and called Shen Min. She said: "Min'er, all the supplies have been purchased, one for you, one for us, two months of reserves, enough for enough." ”

Shen Min has officially joined the Municipal Epidemic Prevention Headquarters, and she is the head of the Comprehensive Information Department. She is responsible for the collection, sorting, submission and archiving of all information on the city's epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic, and is responsible for compiling and distributing temporary bulletins for epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic. This epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic briefing is an important reference for leaders at all levels to organize the epidemic prevention and war against the epidemic, which not only reflects the real-time dynamics of the city's epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic, but also conveys social conditions, public opinion and leadership intentions.

Shen Min said to Lu Jing: "Mom, you take care of yourself, take care of Zhu Xiaojing, Zhu Yi and I are on the front line, and we run home every day when we are (unavailable), and sometimes we even make a bunk in the duty room, and the mobile phone is turned on 24 hours a day, and we are in a high state of combat readiness." ”

Lu Jing nodded and asked Shen Min, "Then tomorrow is the New Year?" You and Zhu Yi went home for the reunion dinner, I have already prepared, and tomorrow at 12:16 noon on time for the reunion. She has a bit of trade feng shui gossip and star luck, so she specially set the time of the regiment year at 12:16, the so-called 12:16 at noon, that is, a picture of auspiciousness, "sixteen" is ten six, six six Shun, ten "six" is Shun, Shun on Shun.

Shin Min said, "Mom, what time is this? Do you still have the heart to eat the reunion dinner? We all eat boxed lunches every day. The leader said, tomorrow in the New Year, each person will have a glass of milk and a bowl of instant noodles! Free video, free WeChat, bye-bye! She hung up the phone and threw herself into the endless work of data statistics and information combing.

The panic purchase in the supermarket has aroused great attention from the relevant parties, and the citizens who have not rushed to buy the materials as they wished, sent various messages on WeChat, Douyin, and Kuaishou, causing dissatisfaction and panic among the people, and some called the mayor's hotline or related complaint calls, and put forward a lot of opinions and demands.

The relevant departments issued instructions: supermarkets are not allowed to run out of stock, and the main responsible persons at all levels should sink to the grassroots level, from the city to the district, from the district to the street, from the street to the community, from the community to the community, and from the community to the household, to appease the people's hearts, and do a good job in the supply of materials. It is also under this objective background that Cheng Xiao, secretary of Jinghe Street, and Wen Xigao, director of the street office, came to Wanjia Community, and Su Wuyong, deputy head of Linjiang District.

Fang Jia, secretary of the general party branch of Wanjia community, greeted the leaders at the door of the community. She wore a red velvet coat today, a pair of knee-high leather boots on her feet, and her long, freshly permed hair gave off the fragrance. This dress is usually rare, because I was going to my husband's house for a reunion at noon, so I deliberately dressed up.

Fang Jia shook hands with the leaders one by one, and when she shook hands with Wen Xigao, she obviously felt that the director of the street office was different. Director Wen Xigao not only held it tightly, but also seemed to be holding it with all his heart. Fang Jia felt that Wen Xigao deliberately used three times, and each time he used more and more force. The woman's sensitivity felt that Director Wen Xigao's handshake was interesting. Her face was slightly flushed and hot, but her heart was calm. She felt that Director Wen Xigao said goodbye to her every day through WeChat, sent roses, and said good night to her on WeChat in the evening, sending hug emojis, which seemed to convey some signal. But she didn't think about it either. Because this phenomenon is normal in modern people's interactions. However, she likes Director Wen Xigao's talent, especially those emotional poems, which are more tasteful than her husband who opened a coffee shop, however, the coffee shop owner is handsome and tall, and Wen Xigao has a figure like a bucket, when it is not thin, when it is thick or not, and he likes to smoke, with a mouth of black teeth, he is disgusted by it. She didn't think much about it, took the leaders to the community meeting room to sit down, and made a report on the situation of the Wanjia community.

Fang Jia said: "I am now the secretary and director of the Wanjia community, Comrade Yin Daoji is the public security specialist and deputy director, Wang Bo, that is, the little fat man, is the person in charge of the grid member, and there are several comrades, in charge of family planning and health, the party and the masses, mediation and pacification and grid members, etc., including the guards, we have a total of eight people, three comrades resigned two days ago, all of them are college students, they are here with low salaries, no establishment, no future, no upward channel and steps, work at the bottom, few people who understand, few sympathetic people, and complainThere are a lot of scolding and making trouble. There are eight or nine of us, in charge of 2,359 households in five communities, not including the shops on the street, a total of 13,953 people, on average, one person has to deal with 1,500 people, belch, I, the secretary of the community, have been working in the Wanjia community for almost four years, how to say, in addition to tired or tired, in addition to suffering or suffering, in addition to trouble or trouble, more than 10,000 people in five communities, all kinds of people, all kinds of situations, large and small, everything, but this epidemic, we must not retreat because of difficulties, We are ready to overcome any difficulties and weave a fine and firm net of epidemic prevention and control at the grassroots level. ”

Cheng Xiao listened and took notes, and after Fang Jia finished speaking, she looked at Su Wuyong, the deputy head of the district, and then said, "I'll say a few words first, and then ask the district leader to give instructions." The party committee of our neighborhood attaches great importance to the Wanjia community, and the reason why we attach importance to it is because this community is large, has a large population, and has a comprehensive and important matter. In addition, the geographical location here is very important, two kilometers away from the provincial ** location, one or two miles away from several key universities, surrounded by some important departments of the province, here is also close to the railway station, the central passenger station is also very close, there are five subways at the intersection here, a total of 16 subway station exits, the closure of the city to prevent and fight the epidemic, must not go wrong, Wanjia community is a two-level civilized community in the urban area, on TV, on the newspaper, hung the glorious red list, this is the benchmark, is the wind direction, is a model community. Therefore, after our research, after the issuance of the city's first city closure notice, in accordance with the deployment of the superiors, Comrade Wen Xigao, director of the sub-district office, was stationed in Wanjia Community and was responsible for leading, coordinating and supporting the work of Wanjia Community. I believe that with the great attention of the city and district leaders, the strong support of the neighborhood party committees, the active efforts of 10,000 community workers, and the understanding, cooperation and support of the majority of residents, we will be able to stabilize our position, hold the station, and resolutely win the battle against the new crown pneumonia. ”

She paused and continued: "Community work is very trivial, troublesome, and hard, the work is specific, the treatment is poor, the salary of cabbage is the price of a thousand pounds, and the burden is a thousand pounds. But what can be done about it? I have worked in the community for 16 years, and I understand the hard work and helplessness of community work, the situation of the community is like this, but community work is very important, it is the last mile to connect with the people, and the community is too weak at present, it is a short board. But the thousands of lines, thousands of lines, have to go through the eye of the needle in the community, especially this time, not so much that the disaster is a big test for provinces, cities, and districts, but rather a big test for tens of thousands of communities. In the face of this big test, we have no standard answers, but only correct answers. We have to win, we have to win. I'm done, now I'm going to ask the district leaders for instructions. "Good to take the lead and slap it.

Su Wuyong, deputy head of Linjiang District, frowned, and after listening to Fang Jia and Cheng Xiao's speeches, he cleared his throat, helped the glasses on his thin face, and began to speak. He attached great importance to it from the central government, to the province, and then to the city. After he finished speaking, he stood up and took the lead towards the Evergreen Supermarket.

At this time, the evergreen supermarket was still crowded, but there were no items on the shelves, and people were talking about it.

Wen Xigao walked quickly to Su Wuyong and whispered: "District Chief Su, don't stay here for too long, these little citizens are all red-eyed, they don't recognize people, hating officials, hating rich, hating police, let's hurry up and take a video of the leader inspecting the grassroots, and leave quickly." ”
