Time

For many people, SARS in 2003 is an inescapable topic. Wang Yutong still remembers the panic it caused nationwide and even globally.

After the Spring Festival in 2003, Wang Jianguo went on a business trip to Guangdong. At that time, SARS was already raging, and Qiu Xiuzhen was worried about him going.

Wang Jianguo, who was born under the red flag and grew up in New China and lived healthy and healthy for most of his life, did not take SARS seriously at all, telling his wife not to worry, he will be back soon.

It is easy to go and difficult to come back. When Wang Jianguo was going back to Beijing, it was just in time for the outbreak of SARS in Beijing. All those who entered Beijing had to have their body temperature checked, and those with high body temperature were directly sent to quarantine.

Wang Jianguo felt a little uncomfortable when he got on the plane, and when he coughed, everyone looked at him warily.

Wang Jianguo felt that these people made a fuss, but he was also a little nervous.

When he arrived in Beijing, his temperature was measured, and it was 38.7. The staff who took the temperature measurement waved to the distance, and two people wearing masks like him came to ask him to cooperate with the isolation.

Wang Jianguo almost went limp from fright.

After receiving a call from Wang Jianguo, Qiu Xiuzhen and Wang Yutong rushed to a hospital near the airport.

The so-called isolation means that no one can see them. At that time, as long as they had a fever, they would be sent to the hospital for isolation. People who came into contact with them should be checked for fever and cough. If they have such symptoms, they will be isolated in the hospital. .

Qiu Xiuzhen and Wang Yutong were very anxious not to see Wang Jianguo, so they could only communicate with him through mobile phones.

In the morning, the hospital still let people stay. In the afternoon, all the family members were invited out and never allowed in again.

Wang Jianguo called them and told them to go home first. There are people in the hospital to take care of them and they will be fine. Maybe after a night of sleep, the fever will subside tomorrow.

"It's useless for you to stay here, I'm still waiting for the test results.

Hurry up and go back, boy, don't you have an exam tomorrow? "

Qiu Xiuzhen couldn't help crying when she heard Wang Jianguo's voice: "But... I'm worried about you."

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back, okay? Oh, don't cry, I feel bad if you cry."

Wang Jianguo asked Xiaotong to answer the phone. He said to Xiaotong, "Don't worry about me. You have to take care of your mother, you know? You are an older child, and my mother has worked hard. I will rely on you at home during the few days I am in the hospital. "

After listening to Wang Jianguo's words, Wang Yutong has a sense of mission from head to toe, and he reassures his father energetically that he will definitely complete the task.

After Wang Yutong hung up the phone, he comforted Qiu Xiuzhen earnestly, wiped her tears with a piece of paper, and said that it was useless to stay here now, and instead made her father worry that she would not be able to rest well. You see, the hospital is now closed to patients except those with fever. Maybe someone who is not paying attention here may be infected, and it will be more troublesome then.

Go back first, we'll come back tomorrow.

Wang Yutong talked a lot and finally persuaded her mother to go home. In the evening, Mr. Ma and Ma Youran came to their house to ask what was going on.

Qiu Xiuzhen told Mr. Ma about the situation. This time, Wang Jianguo was on a business trip to replace Mr. Ma who couldn't leave. Mr. Ma was very sorry to catch up with this, and worried about him, saying that we would go to see him tomorrow.

"Let's wait for my dad to call."

Wang Yutong said, "The hospital doesn't allow people to go there now. There are many fever patients who are isolated there. I heard that SARS can be transmitted through droplets and respiratory tracts. It will be bad if they are accidentally infected.

Uncle Ma, I'll call you as soon as I have news about my dad, okay? "

Mr. Ma saw that Wang Yutong was eloquent and sensible, so he nodded with satisfaction, and asked Ma Youran to learn more from Xiaotong on the spot.

Ma Youran fully agreed, smiled and said calmly: "You also learn from Uncle Wang, and you will be devoted to Auntie Qiu, and you will not create trouble for the boy."

She didn't give her father face at all, and Mr. Ma was not easy to get angry in front of outsiders. Ma Youran ran away on the excuse that he was going to buy vinegar to sterilize bacteria, and took Wang Yutong to ride together.

"Buy vinegar?" "It's said that boiling vinegar can sterilize bacteria and prevent SARS. I think it's disgusting, but everyone says so, let's go buy some and prepare it. It's better than listening to my dad."

Wang Yutong: "I also said that banlangen is also good. My mother poured me three cups today!" "Do you have any more at home? My dad has a whole room full of banlangen. I'll get some for your family later."

The two wore masks and rode to the nearest supermarket. When they parked, they saw a large group of black heads inside. When they walked in, they all looked for jealousy.

Wang Yutong and Ma Youran rushed to grab two bottles as if they were at war, almost knocking down the shelves.

When queuing up to check out, I heard the two aunts in front say that they have gone to all the supermarkets in Changping City, and they are out of vinegar. This is the last supermarket.

Both Wang Yutong and Ma Youran thought they were lucky, at least they got it.

When it was their turn to check out, a middle-aged woman carrying more than a dozen bottles of vinegar rushed up and pushed them away, asking the cashier to pay her immediately: "Hurry up! Pay me quickly."

The cashier glanced at her: "You go in line, everyone is in line."

The woman slammed the counter: "Do you know who I am! If something happens to my old man, can you take responsibility for it!" "Damn."

Ma Youran whispered in Wang Yutong's ear, "Why are you so thick-skinned, whose fate is not fate."

Wang Yutong was also very annoyed by this kind of person, suddenly he had an idea to support Ma Youran's shoulder, bent down and coughed loudly.

During the period of SARS, people who had a fever and cough were kept away as if they were seeing a plague god. Wang Yutong was coughing so much that his lungs were about to spit out while wearing a mask. Come in a circle.

The middle-aged woman was even more frightened. Seeing Wang Yutong approaching her while coughing, Ma Youran even helped her with her back, muttering "I'll let you go to the hospital if you don't listen." In the end, the woman didn't want to be jealous. Run as fast as you can.

When they came out of the supermarket with bottles of vinegar in their hands, Ma Youran and Wang Yutong laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.

"I really can't see that you are pretty bad."

"Separate people, the most annoying thing is to jump in line."

The two were going to get the car, and Ma Youran stepped into the car and saw Wang Yutong standing still, not knowing what he was looking at.

Following her gaze to the side, I saw a tall and tall girl who looked like a college student standing outside the supermarket and making a phone call, she seemed a little anxious: "Mom, the vinegar is really sold out. I searched all over Changping and it was all sold out. It's gone... No, if others say they want to rob you, just rob you, and you still worry about it when you are so far away.

This is a way for vinegar sellers to take advantage of the opportunity to drive up prices and promote sales. Think about it, SARS was caused by a coronavirus. It was a virus. Vinegar can only have a little bactericidal effect. It's just a psychological comfort, you... Okay, don't get excited, I'll look for it again. "

The college student hung up the phone and stood there feeling a little melancholy, looking around for a while, not knowing where to look.

Wang Yutong thought about it, and brought a bottle of vinegar to her.

The college student looked at her in surprise, and Wang Yutong said, "The old man is a little unreasonable, so you can take it back and do business."

"Yo... thank you."

Wang Yutong smiled at her and left. When she got on the bicycle, Ma Youran smiled and said, "Okay, Datong, this will hook up with my sister."

Wang Yutong rolled his eyes, unscrewed the lid of the vinegar on the spot, and was about to pour it into Ma Youran's mouth: "Are you jealous? Do you want to eat it?" Wang Yutong bought the vinegar and went back to Qiu Xiuzhen to boil it. The whole room smelled of vinegar for several days, and Wang Yutong felt that he was going to be tortured and sick.

After worrying for two days, Wang Jianguo came back with a fever. The test results showed that it was just a common fever and not SARS. After the fever subsided, they would not keep him, and quickly made room for the real SARS patients to come in.

After coming back, the family of three sat together and felt a little scared. After all, he just had a common fever and isolated him from the real SARS patients. If he was really infected, who would he ask for an explanation?Fortunately, Qiu Xiuzhen said that our family has always turned dangers into good fortunes, good luck and good luck.

When SARS swept across Beijing, all major schools were closed. This made Ma Youran so happy that she invited Wang Yutong to her home to watch DVDs and play games.

Wang Yutong held a stack of Haidian Huanggang and didn't let go: "I don't have time for the final exam soon, good boy, I'll play with you again during the summer vacation."

Ma Youran, who was about to take the college entrance examination: "..." Wang Yutong didn't remember how SARS passed, but he only remembered that it was powerful enough to suspend the entire city's schools.

For the first time, she felt that death was so close to her. She inevitably thought of her grandfather who died of illness and Jiang Mao who died suddenly, and also remembered the trembling sleepless night when she first knew "death".

This time she was also afraid, but she also thought of other things besides being afraid.

Everyone is mortal, how to spend this life, and how to spend it without leaving any regrets.

After SARS, Ma Youran's college entrance examination was also over. She didn't care about her grades at all. She went abroad to play on the day after the exam, and she also took Wang Yutong to Thailand with her.

Wang Yutong has just enrolled in a summer class, and the college entrance examination is coming soon, so how can she have the time to let Ma Youran have fun.

"I admire you a lot, really."

Ma Youran said, "Be at ease."

Wang Yutong was actually uncertain. She remembered that her mother said that she would go back to Sunlight City for a year to prepare for the college entrance examination in the third year of high school. After hiding for so long, what was supposed to come always came.

If she really returned to Sunshine City, would she meet Qi Yin again?What kind of life is Qi Yin living now?Qi Yin bought a cabbage, and the dish for lunch today is still vinegared cabbage.

After the last major operation, Yang Su couldn't get down to the ground anymore, and he couldn't speak well. Many times he had to tremble for a long time before he could utter a word when he wanted to speak.

She became a living dead person lying on the bed again. Although she couldn't move or speak, she had a lot of temper. She had a lot of opinions on Qi Yin's three meals a day. As long as she ate cabbage, she didn't open her mouth, and she wouldn't eat it no matter what.

She likes to eat meat.

Qi Yin took the food and handed it to her mouth, but her eyeballs did not move, and after a few words of persuasion, she simply closed them.

Qi Yin had nothing to do, Yang Su lost her temper and went on hunger strike for a day or two, she didn't want to eat it, Qi Yin took the food back and used a cover to cover it up, so she would eat when she was hungry.

When it was time for work, Qi Yin hurried out and went to Aunt Zhai's store to replace her, and two people happened to come to pick up the clothes.

Qi Yin brought them the finished clothes, and they tried them on on the spot, nitpicking in the mirror, saying that this style is too old-fashioned in the 21st century, who still wears cuffed sleeves now, and look at the waistband Yes, the legs are too short.

The two chatted for a long time, and asked Qi Yin if he could make a discount.

Qi Yin smiled and said that the price was agreed before, and it was already very favorable.

"You're not the boss."

The other party said, "Your boss promised us that if you are not satisfied, you will not be charged."

Qi Yin said patiently: "Yes, I'm not the boss so I can't make a decision. Our boss just went back to eat, why don't you guys wait a bit, and you'll be back in about an hour."

"Huh? There is still an hour to wait, who has this time.

Forget it, forget it, we are unlucky, and the store that does not speak honesty will never come again. "

They took the new clothes and left, Qi Yin heaved a sigh of relief, drank some water, and sat down in front of the sewing machine.

The two walked into the newly opened women's clothing store across the street, and wandered around for more than half an hour without being willing to come out.

The women's clothing store just opened at the beginning of this year. It claims that the last orders of Korean styles are all top-notch goods. It is indeed a good place for shopping for young women in Sunshine City.

Qi Yin sat in front of the deserted sewing machine and looked at the bustling shop opposite. She gently stepped on the old-fashioned sewing machine and sewed a beautiful seam from the fabric in her hand.
