Chapter 1: "Staying at Home" for the Spring Festival (1)
Ask for favorites, ask for recommendations.
In the western part of the motherland, there is a long inland river -- the Ningxi River, which is like a mother river in the northwest land, surging, surging westward, magnificent, and quite spectacular.
Ningxi River Valley, with four distinct seasons, pleasant climate, fertile land, and staggered fields, has been a paradise for the people of all ethnic groups in Ningxi since ancient times.
The Spring Festival of 2020 is a special Spring Festival for Miao Miao, the first Spring Festival he spent after graduating from college, and the first Spring Festival he spent at home in more than 20 years.
For the people of the country, it is also the Spring Festival with the longest holiday, "staying" at home and not going out, and recuperation.
In this special Spring Festival, the first day of the new year greets the new year, the door is opened, the second daughter returns to her parents' house, the third day of the new year burns the door god paper, fasts rice, the fourth day worships the god of wealth, and the fifth day breaks five firecrackers---
These customs seem to have been diluted, and these traditional habits are becoming less important this Chinese New Year, and people's attention has all been diverted by the new coronavirus.
The eldest cousin of Uncle Miaomiao's family of three Chinese New Year's Eve rushed back to Ningxi City from thousands of miles away to reunite with their elders.
The second cousin of the aunt's family, Qian Xinxin, who works in Jinghan City, thousands of miles away, originally planned to fly back to Ningxi City for a New Year's reunion on Chinese New Year's Eve.
The second sister Xinxin and brother-in-law Yunnuan are both medical personnel, and the two received an urgent task before leaving, and the hospital notified all party members to give up holidays and rest.
Xin Xin and her husband Yun Nuan took off their fashionable winter clothes, changed into white work uniforms, and immediately threw themselves into work, working overtime to fight the epidemic with colleagues who gave up their holidays.
Miao Miao found that "wearing masks, washing hands frequently, and not visiting the door during the New Year" replaced "Spring Festival Gala, grabbing red envelopes, and collecting five blessings" became synonymous with this Spring Festival.
In the past Spring Festival, the mobile phone WeChat circle of friends posted how to carnival the festival, go to the cinema to watch Chinese New Year movies, shopping malls, KTV singing, ski resort skiing-----
In this Spring Festival, friends are forwarding measures and suggestions to fight the new coronavirus.
Even college classmates whose families are in Jiangning City have posted several "scenic spots" for "staying" at home in the circle of friends: Balcony Peak, Bedside Mountain, Bedroom Alley, Bathtub Lake, Shower Waterfall, Living Room Rift Valley, Sofa Amusement Park------
Looking at the news of the roommate who has been in the same room for four years in the WeChat circle, Miao Miao, who was originally sweating for Jiang Ning's classmates, looked at the optimistic and witty text messages sent by her roommate, and felt a little relieved.
Miao Miao in college has a total of four people in the same dormitory, Miao Miao is tall and straight, fair skin, thick eyebrows and narrow eyes, high nose bridge, slightly big beard, is called "beautiful man" by alumni, he and his roommates are like brothers, and he cares about their lives.
It seems that Xiao Zhou, a roommate who returned to his hometown of Jiangning to work in a company after graduation, is still very optimistic, and the people of Jiangning are very optimistic and strong.
For this sudden epidemic, Miao Miao, like everyone around her, saw relevant reports about the new coronavirus on the TV news after New Year's Day.
At first, Miao Miao and her family didn't take it seriously, from the early calm to the spread of the epidemic, they didn't react.
The Health Commission, a subordinate department of the Ningxi Municipal People's Government, has been widely publicized through various media on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Text messages such as "For the health of you and your family, it is recommended to reduce going out and eating together during the special period of fighting the new coronavirus".
At this moment, Miao Miao felt that she could not ignore this new coronavirus epidemic, and everyone had a responsibility to fight the epidemic.
Miao Miao, who came back from her grandparents' house for the New Year, came to her grandmother's house and quickly showed the text message on WeChat on her mobile phone to the old lady of the Yi family as soon as possible.
Mrs. Yi, a retired teacher and veteran party member, was highly conscious and immediately informed her children to actively cooperate with the call of the Ningxi Municipal Government and quietly "stay" at home.
