Chapter 7: Big Country, Small Family
"A person who came back from Wuhan secretly entered our community and deliberately blocked the car license plate..."
The staff said angrily: "We checked the surveillance and found that it was a family of three. After entering Building 32, we didn't even take the elevator. We don't know which floor of the resident it was. The family is shameless. So many people shouted for a long time but didn't come out. Will they die if they quarantine for 14 days?"
"I won't come out. So many of you shouted and killed, and you were scared to death..."
I stepped forward a few steps and looked up. Building 32 was exactly 32 floors, one floor and four households, that is, more than 120 households lived in one building. Naturally, I couldn’t find anyone I didn’t know, but I knew that Brother Chen’s family lived on the 19th floor.
"I have a way..."
Just as I was hesitating, an uncle said angrily: "Let's take the surveillance video and knock on the door to ask, "Someone has seen them, and if you catch them, they will be sent to the police station. Such scum should be jailed!"
"Yes! They should be put to jail..."
An aunt also shouted fiercely: "They must have hid because they have symptoms, otherwise there is nothing to be afraid of at home isolation. If they are allowed to run around in the community, what if the virus is transmitted to us? Call the police immediately and let the police arrest them!"
"Everyone calm down and listen to me..."
My wife suddenly ran over from behind and said loudly: "You rushed in to find someone in such a mess. It would be troublesome if you really encounter an infected person. But I am a medical staff member of the central hospital. I know how to correctly contact the suspected infected person. Let me handle this matter. You can go home and wait for news!"
"this……"
The neighbors all looked at her hesitantly, and someone said, "But how do you find it when you go in alone? There are more than 100 households!"
"I'm scaring you, hiding at home and not daring to come out, let alone having children..."
The wife smiled and said, "I will come in alone to indicate my identity. I will naturally come out after a few calls. At that time, it is time to be quarantined and taken away. Don't scold me. Those who come back from Wuhan do not mean there is a virus. If you are sick, they are also a victim. You go back first, and I will definitely deal with it properly, okay?"
"good!"
I quickly shouted, "I'll accompany you in, look for it together, and let the property management notify everyone. The rest of the people should go home quickly. There is no virus and you will be infected with each other. Now, once you are isolated, there will be a building!"
"Go back! There is danger outside..."
When the neighbors asked me to scare me, they all scattered and went home. A few of them were still looking away. I had to follow my wife into the building. In order not to let the excited neighbors come to beat people, we climbed the stairs to the 19th floor.
"My mother! I'm so tired..."
I leaned against the stair railing and gasped, and my wife gasped, and asked, "Husband! Why are you talking about Brother Chen and the others? Are you really just afraid of isolation?"
"They must have difficulties, otherwise who would be scolded like this..."
I walked to Brother Chen's doorstep panting and rang their doorbell directly. I sincerely hope that Brother Chen can give me a helpless explanation rather than a selfish answer.
"Brother Chen! My little Gong..."
I knocked on the door and said, "Don't be afraid, I and my wife are the only ones outside. Others have asked us to persuade us to go back. Open the door and let us understand the situation. I will help you explain to everyone that it is not a solution for you to hide like this!"
"Squeak~"
The security door slowly opened a gap, revealing Brother Chen's haggard face. His wife covered her mouth from behind and cried. After Brother Chen was sure that there were only two of us outside, he dared to open the door. The couple hurriedly put on masks.
"Xiao Gong! I don't want to hide..."
Brother Chen wiped his tears and said, "We didn't escape from Wuhan. We went back to our hometown before the Chinese New Year, but the village drove us out. People kept scolding us on the way, saying that we deliberately spread the virus and didn't even sell things to us in the small shop. We didn't eat a bite of food along the way!"
A big man actually burst into tears when he said that his mask was wet with tears. His son hid behind his wife, hugging her legs tightly, looking scared, which really made people feel distressed.
"Xiao Gong! Please tell us about it..."
Brother Chen's wife cried and said, "We are willing to isolate and apologize, but we are really not intentionally harming people, and we have no symptoms of infection. We are just afraid of being driven homeless again, so we can only sneak into the community. This is our home, the only place we can stay!"
"Sister-in-law! Don't cry..."
The wife said with red eyes: "We have asked everyone to go back. I will do their ideological work later. I will definitely not let them scold you anymore. I will contact the street staff immediately. The government will take good care of you!"
"Thank you! Thank you..."
Brother Chen and his wife bowed to us gratefully. We comforted them for a while before turning around and taking the elevator downstairs.
"They did nothing wrong. They just wanted to go back to their homes and didn't want to hurt anyone..."
The wife leaned against the wall and cried, saying, "If no one discriminated against them, they would not be afraid of being like this. We should all unite in the face of the epidemic. Even if the infected person is really infected, we should not be discriminated against. Everyone has the possibility of being infected. Everyone is equal in the face of the virus!"
"This is just a misunderstanding..."
I patted her on the shoulder and said, "As long as everyone understands their experience, they will never scold them anymore. Someone will even come forward to help them. I believe that when everyone calms down, no one will be discriminated against again. Those who are willing to help will always be more than those who take the blame, right?"
"Um!"
My wife finally stopped crying and nodded vigorously. After we both went out, a security guard was waiting outside and whispered to me: "The ones who came back from Wuhan are residents on the 19th floor. I have recognized them a long time ago, and I have been holding back and didn't dare to say it!"
I said helplessly: "I am friends with them. They are not deliberately avoiding isolation, and the whole family has no symptoms of infection. It's a completely misunderstanding!"
"I just knew it was a misunderstanding. Someone had a child, and the child was so scared that he shivered..."
The security guard said unbearably: "They must have encountered something outside, otherwise who would have let their children suffer like this? Moreover, the couple on the 19th floor are both good. I will go to the property with you to calm everyone's emotions and explain the misunderstanding clearly!"
"Okay! Let's go together..."
I looked at my wife happily. Sure enough, there were still many people who were willing to help others. After we arrived at the property office, several people from the street office came. We quickly stepped forward and explained the matter. Only then did everyone realize it.
"Oh~ This misunderstanding is too big..."
A property sister sighed and said, "I am also a person with children. If I am discriminated against all the way, I will not dare to take risks with my children. Let's go up on behalf of the property and apologize to others, communicate well and issue an announcement. Never do this kind of misunderstanding again!"
"It's good for everyone to understand..."
I took them to Chen Ge's house happily. The property representative apologized in a series of times. The street staff were also comforting Brother Chen's family and registering them in a quiet voice. Their attitude was so good that Brother Chen's family was flattered.
"We didn't prepare a seal..."
The street office person smiled and said, "Some areas do seal the quarantine personnel, because some people are really unconscious, but I believe in your self-consciousness and stay at home for fourteen days. We will deliver your daily life needs to the door without delaying your cooking and cooking!"
I was surprised and said, "Do you have someone to send me every day? Are you busy?"
"Do you want to be a volunteer? You can come to me to sign up..."
The other party said half-jokingly: "We now have to take care of more than 70 isolated families. In addition to the staff of our street office, there are also some volunteers who are helping us, especially several veterans. They are both capable and not afraid of hardships, and have helped us solve the big problem!"
I smiled and said, "I have to work more than ten hours at home every day, and the time is not too much, but I can help you deliver food regularly. I have a car. If you need help, you can call me!"
"Just just have this intention, but the private car is too small and cannot be used..."
The other party nodded with a smile, then explained the precautions to Brother Chen's family, and pulled them into a WeChat group. They just said what dishes they wanted to eat, and they were all affordable dishes that were cheaper than on the market, which made Brother Chen's family smile.
"Brother Chen! Let's see you in fourteen days, we'll leave first..."
I smiled and greeted Brother Chen's family. As Brother Chen said repeatedly, I took my wife into the elevator, but I was thinking about the volunteers in my heart, and suddenly asked my wife: "If I go to be a volunteer, will you support me?"
"Of course I strongly support it, do you still need to ask..."
