Lantern Festival travelogue
Wen Shi Qinghua.
There has been Lingyunzhi for a long time, and the Lantern Festival is a visit.
After lunch, rinse your mouth with salt water, wipe your hands with alcohol, put on a mask, and take your wife downstairs. When I came to the gate of the community, the security guard asked, "What are you doing out?" ”
Grocery shopping. "Why don't you buy it online? ”
Yes, the local ** has built an online platform to mobilize residents to try not to go out, and the required materials are purchased on the platform. In cooperation with the community and supermarkets, community staff and volunteers will deliver them to the door of the community or in front of their homes.
We wanted to buy it ourselves. ”
Just go alone. ”
I have to buy vegetables for a few days, and I can't hold them alone. ”
Well. Yes, now is the time of high incidence of the epidemic, try to stay at home and don't go out, everyone is fine. Here, check in. ”
The wife wrote her name, building number, unit number, and mobile phone number. Another security guard took his temperature: normal. After completing these procedures, you will be able to clear the customs smoothly.
On the wide field outside the door, an uncovered pickup truck was parked. Volunteers wearing red armbands removed the goods from the truck and arranged them in an orderly manner. Someone squatted on the ground and looked at the pieces of paper in the plastic bag: "Hey, Master Zhang, please come to the door of the community to get vegetables." ”
Take a closer look, the paper is written with the name, quantity, unit price, total price, community name, buyer's name, ** number of the materials bought. In the face of the epidemic, Ben was a little nervous, and when he saw this scene, what was there to be afraid of?
Turning westward, almost all the shops on both sides of Maxiqiao Road are closed, and even the Yangtze River Pharmacy next to the gate of the community has stopped operating. When passing through the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the iron gate was wide open. Guards wear white hats, eye masks, masks, white clothes, and white pants, and are fully armed at the gate. A little further inside the iron gate, a worker armed like the medical staff of Huoshenshan Hospital, holding a testing instrument, testing the people who entered, and registering separately before entering. A young man got out of the black cart and wanted to get in. The doorman strode forward: "What's the matter with you?" ”
Going to work. "How I don't know you. ”
I just got here from the bureau. The young man took out a piece of paper and gave it to the doorman, and then went in after testing and registration. It seems that it is impossible for anyone who wants to blend in.
Looking at the four-story office building about 30 meters behind the iron gate, the lights are bright. Someone is staring at a computer, someone is holding a stack of papers, someone is looking down and writing. It is their busyness that makes the anti-epidemic work run in an orderly and efficient manner.
Passing the CDC to the south, the cars on the west side of the highway are parked one by one until they reach the pedestrian street.
Along the sidewalk under the trees outside the Xiaoling Scenic Wall, to Hualian Supermarket, almost 800 meters, only met three or five people. They all buy essential items at the supermarket, carrying them on their shoulders and spaced far apart. There is a middle-aged man who looks like a farmer, carrying at least eight cabbages in a net bag, and garlic sprouts, white radish, and carrots in the other hand, which seems to be not light.
When we entered the supermarket, we took our temperature: 37 degrees Celsius. "The temperature is high, wait a while and test again. "Testers know that walking can get hot, especially when it's warm. After two minutes, test again: thirty-six two, release.
After turning around, all kinds of goods are sufficient, there are not many types of vegetables, and many shelves are empty, but the signs with prices are still hanging. Cabbage, white radish, one yuan and five corners and eight cents a catty, did not increase in price. Most of the other goods have not increased in price as much as they did a year ago, and some have even reduced their prices. For example, bananas are three yuan, nine corners, eight cents and one pound, which is one yuan lower than the previous year. After a while, the supermarket staff brought in a lot of meat and vegetarian dishes, which quickly filled the shelves. In this special period, even the mercenary businessmen are strictly disciplined, and the common people are beyond reproach. Everyone stays at home and does what they like, and money, fame and fortune have become very pale. When there is food and drink at home, I feel stable, and the people take food as the sky.
Walking down the long pedestrian street, the broken artificial stone pavement is trampled against each other, and a low sound echoes through the silent street. Along the way, there was only a red sign selling mahjong machines flashing. The boss sat in the sun in front of the door, his eyes half-closed, probably dreaming. Perhaps, a beautiful reverie can strengthen immunity.
Exit the pedestrian street to the east, there are occasionally one or two cars coming and going on the street, even if you are careless, you don't have to worry. There are few vehicles, few pedestrians, and it is exceptionally calm. At the intersections, each place was guarded by two officers in light yellow police uniforms. Check pedestrians and vehicles and take body temperature. When encountering arrogant people, they always patiently explain and reason until they leave with a happy heart. Yes, on this festival, they use kind attitudes and loving words to relieve people's tension and increase joy.
On both sides of the wide avenue, sanitation workers in red vests, holding sweeping tools, lowered their heads and carefully searched the road, not letting go of even the debris of fallen leaves. After them, the road is bright and pedestrians are reassured. On the open road, police cars patrolling, ambulances calling for ambulances, trucks loaded with daily necessities, and propaganda vehicles broadcasting back and forth pass through the streets from time to time. Together, they played a march against the epidemic and sang about people's peace of mind and social stability.
Continue east, through the traffic gates and into the old town. The dark smoke windows of the restaurant show off the brilliance, don't worry, it's just a few days off. The luxuriously decorated shops on the side of the street, open their arms, and immediately, smile at customers from all over the world. The flower beds on both sides, with green grass buds, hold their breath and take a deep breath, and they are about to bloom. They, perhaps, acted in unison, as people do, stopped running, took a breath, and took a short break.
This old town has its own unique characteristics. There are many administrative units, the buildings are not high, and the stores are gorgeously decorated. Even during breaks, the colorful lights are flickering.
Xinhua Bookstore is very attractive to me. It is the cradle of wisdom and spiritual abundance. Like me, a nerd, I can't buy clothes in my life, but I often come here, and I can't stand it, so I always pour everything I have, and move back some books and periodicals that I like like like bricks, which also takes up a lot of time in my life. It's a bit ignorant of current affairs, but I don't regret it and still patronize.
For some reason, the first floor, which was originally open for book sales, has been moved to the second floor. The first floor was converted into another shop. It doesn't affect people who need to buy books, but the status of books in people's hearts has decreased. Maybe e-books are gaining popularity, and paper books are fading; Maybe people are so busy with work that they don't have time to read at all; Perhaps most people don't want to read books anymore, except for those who are coping with entrance exams. How sad it is to be too lazy not to want to read.
Sometimes you can also meet a few pedestrians, mostly community workers and volunteers. They do trivial things in obscurity, so that the people at home don't have to worry about it.
Turn left at the Post and Telecommunications Building and climb the Yangtze River Embankment. Looking at the rippling blue water and the slow eastward flow, I suddenly felt refreshed. I don't say "I am used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze", but on weekdays, I must come once a day. It is because of the clarity, softness, and agility of the water.
On the embankment, the embankment, and the water's edge, there are some tourists scattered by the stars. Some are mavericks, some are shadowy, and some are obsessed with fishing in the cold river. A river with good water, a city with good people, if it weren't for some virus, how harmonious and joyful it would be.
Along the northwest side of the embankment, in the wide area of the river at the water inspection office, a staff member dragged stones with a tricycle, blocked the cement road to the river, and then pulled up a red cloth strip: Don't go, there is danger.
The upward cargo ship carried the sun and gradually moved away, and the shadows of the trees on the outer continents slowly approached the pedestrians. Sometimes stumbling on the wave rock, like a toddler, if you are not careful, you will fall; From time to time, I choose a slightly flat stone to sit on, staring at the river, as if snuggling in the arms of a lover; From time to time, touching a handful of green waves is like caressing your lover's skin - delicate and soft, and then sticking to the hot face.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, several long-lost buses drove on the embankment, and there was no one in the cars except the driver. In these extraordinary times, many conjectures have been raised. If a rumor-monger takes a film, graft a few scary shots, and add a voice-over: "This is what I saw for myself." "If it spreads, it will cause panic. It is hoped that the state will intensify and intensify its crackdown on those who spread rumors and disrupt society.
Pass through the Marine Department and go to Zhan Kiu Village. In the middle of the cement benches on both sides of the embankment road, a wide and thick soil was filled, and a card was erected on it: During the epidemic, traffic is prohibited. The entrance and exit of every country road have been blocked, responding to the "external prevention of disease entry, internal resistance to spread." ”
When he went downhill to the village, he also looked like a young man and took his wife's arm, afraid that he would be taken by the demon wind. After hundreds of households, almost all the doors are closed, but when you hear laughter, you don't see anyone. The horn of the lonely mobile propaganda vehicle was very loud: "Hello, respected villagers. As the temperature rises, it is another peak of the outbreak. Please don't party, don't play cards, don't hang out, just stay at home and watch TV. As soon as you get out, the first two weeks of confinement are in vain, hold on for another two weeks. If this war is lost, it is death; We will win and live happily. "The loudspeaker looped around the village, and when I first heard it, I was a little nervous, but after listening to it a few times, I was relieved. Life is in the world, life can also be loved, and death is not afraid? It's just that there's no need to make senseless sacrifices.
Passing by the non-plastic pipe factory to the west, leading to the bridge to the village, there are two trucks across each other, and then plugging the gap with wooden planks and other things, I am afraid that even rats will not be able to get through. Walk east along the aqueduct and cross the single-plank bridge not far away to the western settlement and head south. Every few houses, there are barricades made of cars, old furniture, or trees and grass, and a single person can only pass carefully around the water's edge or the edge of the field. On the bridge leading to the Weixing community, the upper and lower sides of the horizontal van are nailed with blue iron sheets. Go south to the bridge leading to the station. At this moment, it can be described as three steps and one post, five steps and one post, strictly preventing and controlling, "By asking the plague king, where do you want to go?" ”
I returned home at five o'clock, lay on the sofa, and looked at the epidemic, although it was a little severe, but there was no need to worry. In this town of more than 100,000 people, after wandering for most of the day, the various people I met would not break through the double digits. There are effective measures, there is people's conscious cooperation, what is there to fear?
The soup is round and the soup is sweet. Mix meat and vegetables and swallow slowly. Hold your arms high and have a laughing companion. Here is music, race immortals. At seven o'clock, I went up to the top of the 20th floor and looked around. Although there is no spectacular "thousands of flowers and trees blooming on the night of the east wind", the flashing lights of thousands of homes still show the vigorous development and prosperity of the society. The countryside around the city rippled around the city, like the light of the town, straight into the distance.
In the middle of the river, there are still cargo ships walking, and the indicator lights on the flagpole on the top of the ship are wide-eyed, looking at the front and back, left and right, guiding the navigation. On the riverside, does anyone look at the moon? What about Chang'e, are you paying attention to the world? Throughout the ages, how many people have asked: "Who first saw the moon on the riverside?" ”
On a night when everyone should be jubilant, the fight against the epidemic is being carried out with the help of the whole country. The battle will soon be over victorious, and then ponder: why did the epidemic happen, how to deal with nature appropriately, and how to develop? It will be a long-term and scientific topic.
How beautiful that full moon is. In the mirror, Chang'e is singing and dancing; Under the laurel tree, Wu Gang sang in a low voice. The breeze and the stars, as well as the lights of the world, are applauding this wonderful performance.
Industrious people, as long as they have no worries about food, clothing, housing and transportation, will abide by the law and consciously cooperate with the best actions. If there is a suitable policy, it will be consistent to the end, then the country will be strong and the people will be prosperous.
