htmlAt 9 o'clock in the morning on February 9, Liang Lixin, who was seven months pregnant, was preparing lunch in a kitchen in Sandu Garden Community, Weiping Town. "They eat instant noodles for lunch. They have been eating them for several days. I am free at home, so I just want to cook them a hot meal..." Liang Lixin, a foreign daughter-in-law who married Chun'an Weiping from Inner Mongolia, is already standing tall My stomach has been cooking for itself for several days.There are six members of the family, three of whom are on the "frontline"
Currently, Liang Lixin's husband Ye Qinghai, mother-in-law Ye Yuexian, and father-in-law Ye Jin have all signed up as volunteers for epidemic prevention and control and were assigned to three different duty stations. At around five o'clock every day, they would go out with two steamed buns or rice cakes. Ye Qinghai's sister Ye Li is newly married and lives in her natal family. She is currently two months pregnant and has severe reactions and cannot touch oil fumes. She also has an 86-year-old grandmother Fang Qiulan at home who has inconvenient legs and feet. Liang Lixin took on the important task of cooking at home. One dish was fried twice, one without hot sauce and one with hot sauce. "We don't eat hot sauce in Inner Mongolia. If they like it, I'll put some in it." Liang Lixin said with a smile.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, after finishing lunch, Liang Lixin and her sister specially brought a few more buns and rice cakes and set off to the duty station, while her sister Ye Li drove. She usually doesn't get car sick, but she felt a little dizzy while walking on the mountain road. They first went to their father Ye Jinda's duty station, left him lunch, and then set off to Xishan Village, 15 kilometers away. Ye Qinghai and his mother were on duty at the checkpoint in Xishan Village.
At 11:40 in the morning, the mountain road was bumpy all the way. When entering the village, Liang Lixin's car was stopped by volunteers. After explaining the situation, Ye Qinghai, who was registering pedestrian information not far away, saw his wife Liang Lixin, who was seven months pregnant, walking towards him with a thermos box. Behind her was her sister Ye Li. Ye Li had a severe reaction during pregnancy. Standing on the roadside, I took a few breaths of fresh mountain air, and then walked towards my mother and brother with a smile on my face.
"Okay (Weiping dialect), I told you not to come. The road is not easy to walk. You two have big bellies and you still have to walk such a long way!" Ye Yuexian, the mother who was also on duty, complained in her words. Feeling distressed.
Today, she was supposed to put on a wedding dress
After Liang Lixin and her sister left their meals to their families and volunteers at the duty station, they took out some fruits and snacks from the car and distributed them to everyone. While eating the food brought by his wife and sister, Ye Qinghai turned his back and tears filled his eyes unknowingly.
Although he and Liang Lixin had already received their certificates, no one knew that February 9, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, was supposed to be their big day. The young couple had decided to hold a wedding banquet at Qiandao Lake on this day years ago. Unexpectedly, the sudden epidemic disrupted their family's plans. In order to cooperate with the epidemic prevention and control, the young couple convinced their relatives and friends on both sides to decide to postpone the wedding. As a veteran and party member, Ye Qinghai decided to join the volunteer team with his mother and father, leaving behind his pregnant wife, sister and grandmother to take charge of epidemic prevention and control at the checkpoint.
"This meal is very delicious and very happy." Ye Qinghai's tears finally came out of her eyes, "I feel a little sorry for her. She should have put on a wedding dress today." Looking at his wife, Ye Qinghai's face was already red with cold. , looks even redder. Hearing this, everyone put down their half-eaten meals and walked to Liang Lixin and Ye Qinghai. At this time, volunteer Xu Hong was taking out a red envelope from her pocket and said, "This red envelope was given by my son. I keep it in my pocket and treat it as my share of the wine. Call me when the wine is served." "Count me in, count me in." Everyone said one after another while stuffing red envelopes wrapped in temporary red paper.
There are many volunteer families like this. After the outbreak, Weiping Town launched a volunteer recruitment campaign. More than 2,000 volunteers in the town have been fighting on the front line of epidemic prevention and control for days. No matter day or night, windy or rainy, you can see their busy figures at 136 village and town checkpoints, 4 water and land interprovincial checkpoints, and at the doorsteps of medical observation subjects. While everyone is enjoying family time at home, they leave their families and go to the front line of epidemic prevention and control.Although their homes are close at hand, many of them only have a bowl of instant noodles and a pack of biscuits for lunch and dinner in order not to affect their work or increase the workload of their teammates.
