Chapter 15
In the early morning, a heartbreaking cry cut through the night sky, and the woman's cry was sad and sad. The originally silent community was awakened, and the awakened people turned on the lights and curtains to explore. But I was blocked by thick fog and couldn't see what was going on outside. I could only hear the woman's continuous howling crying.
Even if you can't see it, you can guess what happened, which has been common in the community recently.
Tang Xue woke up from her sleep, took the mobile phone on the headboard, and found that it was three o'clock in the morning. Looking through the community, there are really many people talking about crying outside.
The cry was made by the hostess of a family in the first four buildings. The family of four lives in that family, mother-in-law, son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, and dual-career family. Mother-in-law is usually responsible for picking up and dropping off children and cooking. The child is 7 years old and is in the first grade of primary school.
The day before yesterday, the child suddenly had a fever and slight diarrhea, which scared the couple and drove the child to the hospital quickly. When I got to the hospital, I couldn't even get in at all, and the gate was full of people. Finally, I finally found a doctor to see it and said that the situation was not serious. You can go home and take some medicine first.
The drugs in the hospital are tight, so they can only be given priority to seriously ill patients, so it is recommended that they go back to find their own medicine. The doctor handwritten a prescription listing several applicable drug names.
The young couple came back together. After coming back, they asked for help in the group and bought the medicine on the prescription list at a high price. The young couple sent a request for help message in all groups, hoping that someone can help them. In order to ask for medicine, the young couple pleaded in the group.
However, at this time, even if there is medicine at home, you dare not give it out easily. It's not that everyone is cruel to see it, and no one knows whether his family will get new enteritis. If the medicine is given, someone in his family gets sick, he will not be able to buy the medicine when he has money.
Finally, a neighbor upstairs, looking after the child, traded several anti-inflammatory drugs and antipyretics with his family. After the child took the medicine, the situation did ease. But in the middle of last night, the condition suddenly deteriorated rapidly, and the high fever was not only accompanied by spasm convulsions.
The child's mother immediately dialed 120, but she couldn't get through. She had to drive the child's father to the hospital again. On the way to the hospital, the child couldn't do it. After arriving at the hospital, he was immediately taken into the emergency room, and finally failed to rescue him.
The family walked out of the hospital in a daze and ignorously. They never thought that the child would be gone in just a few hours. The child's mother hugged the child who had not breathed. No matter how comforted her husband and staff, she refused to let go. Tears in her eyes swelled like springs and slipped on their cheeks.
She sat on the ground and cried silently in her arms, and her depressed whine fell on the hearts of the people around her like a heavy hammer. There are also sick patients and family members around. Seeing this scene, they can't help but wipe their tears, and they think of themselves. Maybe they will face the same scene at some point in the future.
After the death of the patient, the body is not allowed to be taken home, and the hospital will have special personnel to install and dispose of it. Jiang Da is the staff responsible for collecting the children. He stood beside the child's mother in protective clothing and a mask. Looking at the sad mother, he wanted to put the body in a shroud bag as soon as possible, but he resisted it.
Just wait another minute, one minute.
It was not until the person in charge of loading the car in the funeral home came to urge him that with the help of the child's father, he took the child from the mother's hand and put it in a shroud bag.
After loading the body, he labeled the outside of the shroud bag, then gave the child's father a card, telling him to pick up the ashes at the specified time according to the text message prompts, and finally said "sends".
He doesn't remember how many times he said this sentence. From the beginning, his heart was full of sympathy and can't bear to be numb now, and no emotional fluctuations can be heard in his voice.
When the family returned to the community, the child's mother saw the familiar scene, and her mood completely collapsed and cried bitterly. Obviously, why did the child who was still lively and naughty, healthy and strong a few days ago disappeared in just two days?
The sad cry was deafening and kept echoing in the community. The child's father couldn't help crying with his wife in his arms. The child's grandmother heard crying upstairs and suddenly collapsed to the ground. While crying, she patted on the ground, and kept saying a word.
"I hurt you, Wenwen. I hurt you."
It turns out that this grandma usually likes to watch small videos. Every time she brushes them at the beginning, she is very involved, and sometimes she doesn't even have to cook. My mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have quarreled more than once about this matter. Although grandma said that she would change it every time, she still couldn't help brushing it every day.
That day, Sun Ziwen was thirsty to drink water, but only there was water in the kettle. Grandma, who was busy brushing her mobile phone, picked up some cold water from the faucet and warmed Wenwen.
Wenwen began to have abdominal pain within two days after drinking. At first, he just didn't care about the abdominal pain and thought the child wanted to go to the toilet. But then she began to have a fever. At that time, the grandmother panicked and dared not tell her son's daughter-in-law that she had given the child raw water for fear of being blamed.
Grandma didn't expect that her grandson would die because of this. She collapsed to the ground and cried bitterly. She regretted it and smashed her mobile phone to pieces. Maybe it's excessively stimulating. Grandma's expression is getting more and more wrong. She kept pulling her hair and kept saying, "I hurt you, I hurt you."
When the son and daughter-in-law came back and found that his grandmother fainted to the ground, there was another chaos. The son could only resist his sadness and carry the old man and sent him to the hospital. No one mentioned what happened next.
Tang Xue couldn't sleep after being woken up. She planned to get up and find something to do. There were still a lot of materials collected from Japan that had not been sorted out, so she just took them out and sorted them out.
As soon as I took out a box, I heard something outside the door and quickly withdrew it. When I opened the door, I found that Tang's father got up and was wearing a coat. It seemed that he was going out.
"Let's leave so early? I haven't had breakfast yet.
Tang's father returned home at 9 o'clock last night. He was so tired that he couldn't even lift his hands. After eating her equipment, she fell directly on the sofa and fell asleep. Tang Xue couldn't bear to disturb him and could only let him sleep on the sofa. Tang's mother hasn't come back for a week and has been staying in the hospital. There are also people infected with enteritis among the medical staff. The medical staff are in short supply and can only stay on duty 24 hours.
Tang's father didn't have time to say more. He just said, "There was an accident. A young man in the team was hit by a truck while on duty and was sent to the Second Hospital. I have to have to have a look."
"Wait for me for a minute."
Tang Xue walked into the kitchen, quickly took out four large meat buns and a bag of milk from the space, and took out two insulated rice buckets, which were all made before and put in the space for insulation.
"Take these with you, meat buns for breakfast. You go to the Second Hospital and just bring the lunch box to your mother. I specially made soup to let her remember to drink it."
Tang Xue handed the things to Tang's father. Tang's father opened the door directly and left. He only told him, "Be safe at home. If you need anything, ask Jiang Yu for help."
"Okay, you should also be careful."
After Tang's father left, she continued to go back to the room to sort out the space materials. Large cartons were taken out of the space, opened and checked, marked and recorded them on the notebook. This batch of materials are all infant formulas, which are available in every age group of 0-3 years old. There are also wet diapers, bottles, pacifiers, clothes, towels, etc., all of which are in stock of maternal and infant products.
She doesn't need this kind of thing at present. After marking, she re-enter the space and put it in an unused area.
It took more than three hours to stop, and my stomach was so hungry that I cooed. The coarse grain porridge booked in the rice cooker has been made. She took out a box of dumplings from the refrigerator and decided to make steamed dumplings.
Fill the temple with five viscera to lie comfortably on the sofa and rest.
Everyone in the community group is discussing one thing. The gas station is out of gas. Someone ran two or three gas stations without adding fuel, so they had to throw the car by the roadside and walk home.
The gas station had limited refueling every day the previous week, and the daily supply was limited, first come, first served. Those who wanted to refuel had to queue early, which turned into sleeping in the car and queuing up the next day if they didn't add fuel that day.
In this case, the gas station is still running out quickly, and now it is completely out of gas.
Without oil, the car is a goose bump, which can only be seen and can't be used.
At this time, the owner of the oil truck was extremely envious of the tram owner. The power supply is normal, and as long as there is a charging pile, there will be no lack of power.
The owner of the oil truck has to calculate the amount of fuel, and it is cost-effective to think about it when you go out. Tram owners can also work part-time. They don't have to earn less from going to work a few times a day. Now there are signs of bartering, and some drivers do not accept money transactions and only accept grain, vegetables, tobacco, alcohol and other materials. Negotiate the price in advance and pay for the car before using the car.
There is not much gasoline in Tangxue's space. After all, it's not easy to buy gasoline. Every time you pass by the gas station, you will go in and add a box, and then pull it out with a bucket and put it into the space. She also went to private sources to buy some barrels of oil, which combined to collect only about 2,000 litres.
These are all she prepared for future migration, and she is not going to take them out now. Tang's mother's car is a tram. Tang's father is driving a company's car now, and she has always used the car at home. Anyway, she doesn't have to go out. If she doesn't have oil, she won't open it. If she really wants to go out, she can ride her newly bought "little donkey".
Not long after she came back, she bought a two-wheeled electric car on the grounds that it was inconvenient to buy vegetables, and quietly hoarded several sets of spare batteries, which was enough to use for a long time.
The thick fog and the outbreak of new enteritis have caused many small and medium-sized enterprises across the country to close down, and the wave of unemployment has been staged in every city. The situation is compounded by energy shortages, the outage of raw materials, and the paralysis of the transportation system.
A large number of people are unemployed at home, but they have to eat three meals a day. They don't have any entry and eat in the mountains. Even if there are golden mountains and silver mountains at home, they can't help endless consumption. Not every household has a deposit to store food, and the moonlight and even the indebted people account for a large proportion.
People are idle and have no food to eat. Naturally, they have to find another way out, and the crime rate has soared throughout the country. Although all provinces and cities have issued notices to strengthen patrols and combat crime, the lack of police force is an objective reason that cannot be changed.
As the security environment becomes worse and worse, the security forces in each community are becoming increasingly tense. In order to relieve this pressure, the street community began to issue an announcement to recruit owners' volunteers and let volunteers form patrols and community security personnel to protect the safety of the community.
Tangxuejia Community covers a large area, with a total of 40 buildings, including 16 small high-rise buildings, 8 high-rise buildings, and 16 townhouses. The He'an community, which belongs to the community, also announced the recruitment of volunteers.
Tang Xue saw this announcement in the community owner group and community grid group, and she was considering whether to sign up or not.

Chapter 16
Doomsday 7
The announcement of recruiting volunteers has aroused a huge response in society. Both the owner group, the grid group and the classmate group are discussing it enthusiastically. Everyone seems to be very interested in volunteers. Even everyone in the family group was discussing heatedly and kept expressing opinions, and the group news soon turned into 99+.
Seeing that her aunt had more than 50 seconds of voice bombardment every time, Tang Xue dived directly and pretended that she was not looking at her mobile phone. She really doesn't want to listen to every voice that is more than 50 seconds, so she can't afford to provoke.
She also blocked other group messages and carefully checked the announcement messages sent by the grid group administrator in the grid group.
According to the announcement, anyone aged 18-45 and without criminal record can register, regardless of gender, education and household registration. The large number of people recruited this time is not only to set up patrols, but also to expand community workers.
After the thick fog broke out, City C fully implemented grid management. Each grid needs to be equipped with grid administrators. The existing staff in the community is completely insufficient, and it is necessary to expand personnel as soon as possible to cope with more complex and dangerous trends in the future.
Previously, the street office had no free time to handle recruitment matters. It happened that this time, I took the opportunity to recruit volunteers to recruit and screen together.
Extraordinary means can be used in emergency periods. At this time, the country urgently needs more experienced talents who are convenient to fight disasters, and the community is not a public institution, so the requirements for volunteer education, age and political review have been relaxed.
The volunteers recruited this time are not unpaid labor but paid services. They will sign a formal labor contract and upload it to the database. However, the remuneration of volunteers this time is not much, and the salary is only 100 yuan per day. In terms of current prices, 100 yuan is only enough to buy 3 barrels of instant noodles and 3 bottles of mineral water. However, volunteers will enjoy the same benefits as regular employees, that is to say, the same benefits are the same except for different wages.
After the announcement was issued, the registration system was once crowded and the enthusiasm of the masses was high. Whether it was valued the deep meaning behind volunteers or those who wanted to eat, they were very interested in this recruitment. The registration applet collapsed three times a day, and finally the programmers worked overtime to force the registration applet to run steadily.
After thinking about it, Tang Xue called Tang's father to discuss it and finally decided to sign up. This is the best opportunity to enter the system.
Although community volunteers are not civil servants or even serious community workers, they are also contract workers who sign service agreements with street offices. The distinction between community volunteers, community workers and civil servants will gradually blur. In the end, they are all staff guided by government organs to serve the broad masses of the people. As long as you can enter the institutional foothold, you can understand the national disaster response decision-making faster and more accurately, and enjoy national policies as soon as possible.
Of course, while enjoying benefits, you should also pay a lot. Observe discipline and law, stick to your posts, respond unconditionally and actively to various national policy arrangements, and play a leading role when the implementation of policies is hindered.
In the face of disasters, the policies issued by the state cannot be beneficial to everyone. These policies must be determined by the overall view of allowing more people to survive and inheriting Chinese civilization. That will inevitably harm the interests of a small number of people and will not be understood by some people.
At this time, you must stand firmly with the country.
In the face of large-scale world disasters, personal strength is insignificant, and personal heroism is obviously impossible to achieve. Even if Tang Xue has dreams, space and red vines that no one else has, she can't survive this disaster safely with her personal strength. Dreams are just what she can see from her personal perspective, and now she is in a different place from dreams.
Well, only by hiding under the wings of the state apparatus, sheltered by the state, and relying on the wisdom of all Chinese people can we overcome this disaster. The function of dreams, space and red rattan is to prepare and adapt to this disaster in advance, so that they can live a more comfortable life.
All those who experienced this disaster are destined to be very painful, and she is very lucky, because the existence of space and red vine will have sweetness that others can't have.
After submitting the registration form, Tang Xue became busier. She had to finish all the ingredients that needed to be processed and all the unregistered materials in the shortest time. Once she is successfully selected, she will not have much time to deal with these trivialities in the future.
The gas stove in the kitchen is fully turned on, and the oven, steam box, microwave oven and other electrical appliances are also working. She kept moving between the chopping board, pool and various electrical appliances, washing, cutting, frying, frying, stewing and roasting. The fragrance of the kitchen kept coming out for a moment, and the smell of food lingered in the room for a long time.
The plantation on the attic does not need her to worry. Akito is a very dedicated "big sister". She plays with her "brothers and sisters" every day and knows the growth of all vegetables and potted plants. Every day, you only need to take some time to water, pick ripe vegetables and replant vegetable seedlings.
She was really busy. She was not only busy making food and sorting out materials, but also paying constant attention to the grid group to pay attention to the face-to-face notice, so she always felt that she seemed to forget something, but she couldn't remember anything after thinking about it carefully, so she gave up decisively. It probably not important to think very salted fish.
The registration time for volunteers is 24 hours, and the interview notice is also issued when the registration system is closed. The interview place is in the He'an Community Neighborhood Committee. The interview time is 2 days. Due to the large number of applicants, you need to wait for SMS notification at the specific time.
When the interview notice text message came, Tang Xue was busy making Chinese hamburgers. Cut open the baked white mask on the outside and soft inside, put on the clean lettuce, add the softly stewed braised pork cubes, apply homemade sauce, and finally sprinkle a little sesame seeds, and a fragrant hamburger is ready.
She roasted 100 steamed buns, boiled two large pots of braised pork, and served with her own fresh lettuce and homemade sauce. Vegetables, meat and staple foods are available, and the nutritional balance is good. Put it in the space one by one with kraft paper. If you want to eat it in the future, you can eat it directly. Whether it's breakfast or dinner, it's very good. It's not only delicious but also resistant to hunger.
Hearing the mobile phone SMS prompt, Tang Xue, who had been busy and depressed, was suddenly shocked and the notice came! Unlocking the phone, it's really an interview notice.
The notice said that she would ask her to go to the community neighborhood committee for an interview at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow. The number is the 16th. When she arrives at the neighborhood committee, queue up according to the number and wait for the call for the interview.
After receiving the notice, I couldn't help but feel nervous. It is said that there are a lot of people signing up, and the competition is extremely fierce. I don't know if she can be selected smoothly. When I was nervous, the movements on my hands accelerated. I kept cutting the film, adding vegetables, sandwiching meat, applying sauce, spreading sesame seeds and packing.
100 Chinese hamburgers were quickly wrapped up.
Put the hamburgers carefully one by one and put them in the box and put them in the hot food area. The space has been planned by her into a piece of area, common areas, unused areas, food areas, daily necessities areas, clothing areas, etc.
The food area is also divided into hot food area, cooked food area, frozen area, fresh food area, etc. As the name implies, the noodles here are all hot food, and you can eat it directly. A lot of food has been accumulated in the hot food area. In addition to what I bought before the end of the world, there are also things that I have been processed at home.
In order to make Tang's parents drink fresh, delicious and nourishing soup at any time, she stewed a lot of chicken soup, bone soup, fish head soup, pigeon soup, seafood soup and so on. If she doesn't have time to cook in the future, she can take it out and drink it directly.
The fragrance of the hamburger was so fragrant that Tang Xue couldn't help picking up one and taking a bite. Suddenly, the fragrance was not full of fragrance. The strong meat and sauce were mixed together, and there was also a little sesame fragrance.
It's so delicious.
Suddenly, she thought of Jiang Chen, a snack, so she took out her mobile phone and took a picture of Jiang Chen.
"Meat hamburger, do you want to eat it?"
Sure enough, almost a second after she sent it out, she came back there: "Think about it."
I also sent a drooling emoji, which is very obvious.
Tang Xue couldn't help laughing. The boy was not learning at a glance. He must be playing with his mobile phone in his hand, otherwise he would not have replied to her message so quickly.
Tang Xue: I'm back so fast that I'm definitely not learning. Are you playing games quietly?
Jiang Chen: Hee hee, just play for a while. Don't tell my brother. I don't know when school will start. I have brushed a set of papers three times, and I really don't want to brush them again. There are already many students in our class who don't learn anymore. They organize blacks every day, and I occasionally play one or two games.
Tang Xue: In fact, it's okay to have a proper rest. It's not too late to hurry up when the notice starts school, but you must pay attention to exercise. Don't eat and sleep at home every day to destroy your body. The body is the capital of the revolution.
Jiang Chen: My sister is right. I have to show my brother so that he won't talk about me all the time, but recently he doesn't seem to talk about it. He hasn't said anything when he watches playing games. It's really strange. I've been very busy recently. I keep calling every day. I listened quietly. The company seems to be going to be going to dissolve. I didn't dare to ask for fear that he is in a bad mood.
When Tang Xue saw this sentence, Jiang Yu probably noticed it.
Tang Xue: That's not good. It won't make your brother nagging. You have any problem with your brother. As for the company, your brother is so smart and knows what to do, so don't worry nonsense. Didn't you say you want to eat Chinese hamburger? Come and get the Chinese hamburger. I've made it.
Jiang Chen: OK, wait for me, I'll come now.
Thinking of the boy's appetite, Tang Xue directly packed four. The Chinese hamburger she made was large, and the two should be enough, and some freshly baked desserts were served.
Hearing the knock on the door, Tang Xue knew that Jiang Chen was coming.
When he opened the door, Jiang Yu came.
