Chapter 2: "Staying at Home" for the Spring Festival (2)
This year's Spring Festival, like any previous Spring Festival, all chicken, duck and fish, beef, mutton and horse meat, fried products, vegetables and fruits and other New Year's goods.
It was all the children who started to make a big purchase on the twenty-third day of the new year, and after they were all prepared before the year, they were all placed here with the old lady of the Yi family.
In order to reduce the number of visits, several children of the Yi family, who are either retired or on vacation, accompany the old lady for the holidays, and those who stay at home do not go out.
And the children who gave up the holidays to fight at work also stuck to their posts and did not go home.
The originally scheduled activities of going out to restaurants and hot pot restaurants for dinner on the third and fourth days of the Lunar New Year were also quickly canceled.
Since you don't go out to eat, you can accompany the elderly at home for the New Year.
The uncle took out his favorite meal----- kebabs, set up a fire, and skewered lamb skewers.
Miao Miao came to the small courtyard with a plate of skewered mutton, lamb kidneys, and lamb liver.
With his uncle, who had already prepared, he grilled lamb skewers in the small courtyard of his grandmother's house.
The neighbors on the first floor on the east and west sides are also busy cooking meat and grilling lamb skewers in their own courtyards.
The fragrant smell of meat in the three small courtyards rose in the cold air and volatilized into the air, adding a bit of New Year's flavor.
The first floor of the building, where the old lady of the Yi family lives, is full of elderly residents.
When the first floor was purchased more than ten years ago, the residential buildings in Chunhua Community were not sold according to the traditional "gold three silver four" house price, but were sold at the price of "gold one silver three".
Because each household on the first floor is given a 35-square-meter courtyard, which can be used to grow vegetables, enjoy the shade, and put things aside.
It is said that it is a gift of small courtyards, but in fact, "the wool comes out of the sheep", which is just a distribution method for real estate developers.
The 80-year-old grandmother Wang, a neighbor in the east, stood in her small courtyard and told her busy Uncle Miaomiao.
Her eldest son, who works at the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau, has given up his Spring Festival vacation to supervise and inspect the market with his colleagues to see if there is any illegal behavior of taking advantage of the epidemic to raise the price of masks, and Grandma Wang has not seen her eldest son for three days.
Yang Zi, a young girl of the same age as Miao Miao, told Miao Miao that she was a lung specialist grandmother who had been retired for two years.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he took the initiative to return to the medical post of Ningxi People's Hospital, and actively participated in the work of fighting the epidemic, and he did not go home for three days.
Yang Zi's grandmother is an attending doctor in the infectious disease department, and she is a well-known doctor in Ningxi.
When he fought against SARS 17 years ago, he was an elite soldier in Ningxi City's fight against the epidemic, with very rich emergency experience and superb medical level.
Hearing that Grandma Yang, who had been home for two years in her old age, stepped forward and took the initiative to join the team to fight the epidemic, Uncle Miao Miao felt very relieved and moved.
The neighbors were chatting about their families fighting the epidemic on the front line, Miao Miao took out her mobile phone, clicked on WeChat, and the work photos taken by the second sister Xinxin in the hospital this morning.
On the screen of the mobile phone, Xin Xin was armed with only a pair of eyes exposed, making a cheering gesture at everyone.
Miao Miao proudly showed Yang Zi and told Yang Zi that there are also people in the Yi family who are fighting on the front line of the fight against the epidemic and working silently.
Aunt-in-law Qian Jin is also inspecting the market supply work in major shopping malls in Ningxi City.
The uncle saw that there was not much cumin used for the kebabs, so he hurriedly asked Miao Miao to go to the supermarket at the gate of the west gate of the community to buy some cumin and spicy noodles.
Miao Miao entered the house and put on her coat, put on a mask and gloves, and armed herself.
When you go out, there are significantly fewer pedestrians in the small leisure plaza and sidewalks in the community.
The few people hurried around wearing masks.
