Chapter 4: "Staying at Home" for the Spring Festival (4)
Miao Miao knows that this job is not very difficult, and it requires a strong sense of patience and responsibility.
Clever he quickly entered the role, perhaps because of his big head, burly body, and handsome appearance, or maybe because the pedestrians he met were reasonable and high-quality people.
For more than an hour, the people who came in and out were very cooperative with Miao Miao's work, no one was reluctant, Miao Miao didn't say too much, even so, his throat felt a little dry.
At this moment, he has a better understanding of the hardships of community workers, and understands the responsibility and responsibility of community workers who give up the time to reunite with their families and silently stick to their posts.
After taking a nap, Sister Zhang came out of the duty room and thanked Miao Miao who stood guard for her.
Looking at this hard and haggard face, Miao Miao remembered her mother, who had been silently dedicated to her job, and like this female comrade, she had a strong sense of responsibility.
Thinking of his mother, his eyes were slightly red, he bowed deeply to the female comrade, and presented the little red flag to this respectable staff member respectfully, he didn't say a word, walked into the duty room and took cumin and other items and turned to leave.
Returning to the small courtyard of her grandmother's house, looking at her uncle who was waiting for cumin, Miao Miao was very sorry to tell her uncle the reason for the delay of more than an hour.
The uncle looked at the much taller and calmer nephew in front of him, patted his shoulder with his right hand, and said comfortingly: "Miao Miao, good job." "Miao Miao's changes in this Spring Festival, all the family members see it in their eyes and remember it in their hearts.
In the past, Miao Miao was still a little impetuous, liked to call friends, often went out to get together with high school classmates, and couldn't stay at home at all.
But this year, not only because of the epidemic requirements not to visit the house, but also because of the regulations such as the epidemic, his personality has become much calmer and more introverted, and the young man in his early twenties has been "at home" at home for five or six days, chatting with the elderly and doing housework, without a little impetuousness.
Yes, this child has experienced and honed a lot more than his peers. The eldest brother of the Yi family still clearly remembers the helpless, helpless and hasty look in Miao Miao's eyes when the second sister was sick and autistic.
The one-meter-eighty-seven child looked at his mother's illness and cried like a child, which was really distressing and sad.
Fortunately, Miao Miao, a sensible and filial child, did not give up on himself or decadence in adversity, he quickly matured and became strong.
Miao Miao walked into the house with the lamb skewers baked by her uncle, and put them on the empty plate on the dining table, and her aunt had already made a table full of sumptuous dishes full of color and flavor.
Stewed lamb chops, braised beef, garlic oysters, chopped pepper fish head, stir-fried lamb offal, spicy fried chicken, cold salad three silks, gluten spinach, cold noodles and lungs, sweet and sour radish ---- are Miao Miao's favorite dishes.
The eldest brother of the Yi family of five, the eldest sister, the younger sister and their daughters Xin'er and Miao Miao accompanied the old lady of the Yi family to celebrate the Spring Festival.
After eating, Xin'er and Miao Miao cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, Xin'er washed the dishes, Miao Miao wiped the marble countertop with a rag, and the eldest cousin Yuyu cleaned the restaurant with a mop.
Miao Miao's aunt was doing yoga on the balcony, and her aunt was leaning on the bed in the small bedroom to the north, looking at a newly bought book.
Aunt Miao Miao sat on the sofa in the living room, quietly looking at her phone, reading the latest information about the epidemic report.
In the large bedroom to the south, Uncle Miao Miao and her son-in-law surrounded the old baby of the family, the old lady of the Yi family, and they watched the fourth-generation --- of the Yi family, the two-year-old Ping'an, crawling on the floor, playing with the transformation truck that Xin'er bought for him.
Seeing that everyone in the family was quietly staying at home, self-isolating, the house was quiet. Miao Miao looked at her cousin Xin'er in home clothes, and teased: "Xin'er, the preparation you made years ago was in vain. ”
Xin'er, who was washing the dishes and chopsticks, tilted her head to look at her brother who was smiling evilly, and asked in confusion, "What are you going to prepare?" ”
"Perm and dye your hair, do your nails, get your eyelashes extensions, buy clothes."
"Hey, hey, don't open any pot and mention which pot, I never thought that a piece of home clothes could carry a Spring Festival. Brother, it's past five days, I haven't been out for a day, and no one appreciates the beautiful clothes. ”
The brother and sister joked, only to see their aunt come over with their mobile phones and say to Miao Miao: "Miao Miao, look at your favorite big singer HH has taken the lead in donating again." ”
Miao Miao looked at the report on her aunt's phone about her favorite chubby female singer HH.
proudly showed off: "How about it, don't look at this eldest sister who is not good-looking, she is an artist with both virtue and art, she sings with her heart and her heart, and she is enthusiastic, Xin'er, now I know, why am I a die-hard fan of HH?" ”
Xin'er suddenly realized: "Brother, I finally know, I used to think that HH was the singer that the second aunt admired the most, and she looked like the second aunt, chubby, wearing glasses, you are her fan." Oh, I see, I really misunderstood you before. ”
The eldest aunt turned on a real-time report on the mobile phone screen again, and showed up to her niece and said: "Xin'er, take a look, this person should be a big man and a big star sought after by your young people, your sissy star, the epidemic has appeared, where are they?" Why did it disappear? ”
Miao Miao and Xin'er stretched out their heads to look at their aunt's mobile phone screen, Zhong Nanshan's solemn and worried face of the country and the people, and looked at each other with their sister.
Xin'er stuck out her tongue and said shamefully: "Auntie, I know, Grandpa Zhong is the person I respect the most, and in the future, I will be his most loyal fan, hardcore fan, and Nanshan fan." ”
Looking at Xin'er's playful appearance, her aunt patted her head and said seriously: "Child, you are not a child anymore, you are all a junior in college, you should have the correct three views, don't watch a certain celebrity eat and drink Lasa all day long and catch a cold, it's all entertainment with no nutritional value, you should care more about national affairs." ”
Looking at the mobile phone screen, the 83-year-old Academician Zhong's solemn and deep face, the tears that slipped from the corners of his eyes, Miao Miao jumped out of her mind: "Why do my tears often contain tears, because I love my motherland deeply." ”
