Yesterday, my good friend Lao Xu called me and she introduced me to a temporary job. I declined because I had work on hand.

Yesterday, my good friend Lao Xu called me and she introduced me to a temporary job. I refused because I had work on hand. On the phone, I heard Lao Xu speaking in a weak voice, and I asked her with concern if she felt uncomfortable. Lao Xu told me her experience these days. The following is Lao Xu's self-report:

I felt uncomfortable when I went to work at my employer's house on December 14. I had a sore throat, but I didn't pay much attention to it. When I got home from get off work at 7:00 pm, I started to have a fever and aches all over my body. I felt like I had been infected.

I lay down without eating dinner at that time. My husband, who worked at the construction site, got off work at 8:00. He saw me lying on the bed without cooking, so he asked me what was wrong. I said I felt uncomfortable, had a headache, and had a sore throat. My husband borrowed a thermometer from a neighbor and measured it for me: 38.6 degrees.

My husband took a ibuprofen , asked me to take it, and then went to cook. I fell asleep after taking ibuprofen. After my husband finished cooking, he asked me to get up and eat. I didn’t want to eat at all, I just wanted to sleep.

My husband gave me half a bowl of rice and some vegetables, and forced me to eat it. I sat on the bed and barely ate a few mouthfuls. After eating, I fell on the bed and fell asleep again. I didn't even wash my face that night.

The next day, I slept in a daze. My husband had already bought breakfast, which was my favorite fried dough sticks with soy milk. But today I didn’t want to eat them at all. I felt like vomiting when I saw the fried dough sticks. I only drank the soy milk and didn’t eat a bite of the fried dough sticks.

My husband went to work after breakfast. I asked for leave from three employers. When they learned that I was positive, they were very worried and asked me to rest at home.

In the next few days, my symptoms became more and more severe. I no longer had a fever, only a cough. Unfortunately, my husband also became positive, and my daughter who lives in the dormitory also became positive.

After I feel better, I will go to the dormitory to take my daughter home to take care of her. The family will fight against the virus together. Half a month later, my body has basically recovered, and my husband and daughter are almost healed as well.

We all started to go to work. My employers have also become healthy, and it is very tiring to go to work at their employers' homes, because no one has cleaned their homes these days and their homes are very dirty.

When I came home after a day's work, my former employer sent me a message. The former employer said that their aunt was infected with Yang, and their whole family was also infected. The house was very dirty, and he asked me to take some time to go to their house to help clean it.

I can rest for three hours every afternoon. I thought it was just rest anyway, so I might as well earn some extra money. Besides, my previous employer had no choice but to find me, so I agreed to help.

The next day, after I finished my first two part-time jobs, I went home and had a quick lunch, and then went to work at my former employer's house.

My former employer’s house was very big, a duplex, about 300 square meters. The house was very dirty, and there were a lot of dirty clothes. Their family of four is at home, with the adults working from home and the children taking online classes at home.

I worked non-stop for three hours at their house. Their house had floor heating, and I was sweating from the work. After I finished my work, my former employer thanked me profusely and gave me a red envelope of 150 yuan. I was very happy at that time. After receiving the red envelope, I rode to the next store to go to work.

I had sweated a lot just now, and I felt very comfortable riding in the wind. When I arrived at the last employer’s house, I felt a little cold, and the sweat on my body turned into cold sweat.

This employer’s house has no floor heating, and there is no air conditioning in the kitchen. The employer turns on the air conditioning and stays in the room. I stay alone in the cold kitchen, feeling cold and hungry. My employer bought a fish online and it was still alive. I took the cold fish to kill and felt that my whole body was cold and my nose started to run.

After working in the kitchen for two hours, I was still cold. While my employer was eating, I went to the room to clean, and then I felt a little warm.

After finishing the third chore, it was already 7:00 pm. When I got home from get off work, my husband and daughter had not yet finished get off work. I steeled myself and cooked two dishes. When the meal was ready, my husband and daughter came back. I felt like vomiting and didn't want to eat.

My husband asked me to eat a little. I have been busy all day. How can I not eat? I ate a little randomly and went to bed. I really had no energy left.

The next morning, I didn’t want to get up, but there were still four part-time workers, and I really couldn’t do the work for these four companies. Then I remembered that my good friend Lao Wang didn’t have much work on hand, so I had to ask her to go to her former employer’s house to do it.

After listening to Lao Xu’s story, I also fell into deep thought. It’s true that we came to Shanghai to make money, but if we break down our bodies in order to make money, is it worth it? I rejected this temporary job, and I advised Lao Xu not to do it anymore. He wanted to keep the green hills and not worry about running out of firewood. It was better to take good care of his health at this time! The days of making money are later.

Lao Xu listened to my advice, quit his job with his former employer, and took a good sleep at home at noon. His health has been much better these days.
