001. Expedition
chapter
"The epidemic situation in Hubei is now severe. Our hospital is planning to organize a group of medical support teams to rush to Wuhan tomorrow afternoon. Please sign up for interested comrades to register by themselves and indicate their own situation for arrangements."
"Xiao Chunhua, currently a nurse in the emergency department, is married and has no children at the age of 26, and applies to join the medical aid team."
"Zhao Geng, 32 years old, married and childbirth, is a chief physician of orthopedics, and applies to join the aid medical team."
"Wang Qi, currently the head nurse, is married at the age of 34, and applies to join the medical aid team."
“…”
Messages from WeChat groups popped out one by one on the screen, and were quickly pushed up by more messages.
In a dim bedroom in Lianhu District, Xi'an, a woman wearing pink plush home clothes hesitated on the keyboard for a moment, and skillfully pressed a string of characters.
"Meng Tiantian, 28 years old, an emergency department nurse, married and childbirth, applied to join the medical aid team."
When this message was sent out, Meng Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief and raised her eyes to look at the silver suitcase standing in the corner of the wall.
This was prepared for the whole family's free trip to Hainan in two days.
OK, it's not too troublesome to adjust the things in the box tonight.
despair!
The switch suddenly pressed, and a warm yellow light enveloped the room.
"Tiantian, why didn't the lights turn on?"
Her husband Sun Han stood at the door of the bedroom. After the door opened, the sound of the front line of the Wuhan epidemic in the living room was filled with a smell of flesh.
Meng Tiantian adjusted her mood, turned around and smiled, "It smells so good!"
"My parents stewed mutton tonight, which was given by Ningxia comrades a while ago. Come out and wash your hands and have a meal!"
"Mother!"
Another silly shout was inserted into the voice of a slight cry. The little girl hid behind her father, poked out her little head with a braid, and looked over with her big watery eyes, "Eat, hungry!"
Sun Han picked up his daughter with a doting look on his face and pointed her little nose, "Qiqi is so good!"
The father and daughter are always tired of being together, and it is true that their daughter is the father's little lover in his previous life. Meng Tiantian looked at their facial features, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and full forehead. It was the same as the adult version and the mini version.
She walked over and pushed Sun Han's arm with a smile, "Let's go, two door gods block me, how can I go out!"
On the dining table.
Sun Han's parents sat face to face with the young couple, and Xiao Qiqi sat in her dining chair in a regular manner. Although she was only 5 years old, the little guy already had a very good understanding of table etiquette.
"Good baby, let's eat another piece of mutton. Grandma has worked so hard to stew it!"
"Thank you grandma!"
Xiao Qiqi grabbed the lamb chop and ate it, turned to look at her mother, "Why don't mom eat it? Only by eating meat can she grow taller!"
The family was amused by the little guy.
Sun Han immediately picked up a piece of mutton for his wife and put it in the bowl. Seeing that the rice in her bowl didn't move much, he thought about it and said casually: "Qiqi, after eating meat, you can't cry because you didn't go to the beach!"
Sun's father pretended to be angry and glared at Sun Han, "Just you just talk nonsense, our Qiqi is the most obedient, so he won't cry about this little thing!"
"Don't worry, Qiqi, when the bad things that made everyone sick are driven away by the doctor uncle and aunt, we can go to the beach!" Sun's mother smiled and continued.
On TV, a reporter was interviewing a doctor at Wuhan Central Hospital. The soldier who was fighting on the front line spoke, suddenly leaned back and hit the wall with a heavy body.
Several medical staff rushed to help, but the doctor could not take off his protective suit and mask to breathe, and waved his hands and hurriedly ended the interview.
"It's so heartbreaking to look at."
Father Sun sighed, took a sip with the small wine glass in front of him, and continued: "Fortunately, our family is together. At this time, nothing is more important than reunion for a family."
"Yes, let's stay at home and don't go anywhere, and don't cause trouble for the country. I'll count it later to see how much vegetables, rice, flour and oil there are at home."
As Sun's mother said, she suddenly changed her mind, "Tiantian, what's wrong? Is the mutton not suitable for the taste?"
The absent-minded Meng Tiantian immediately raised her head, "No, mom, it's delicious, I just..."
"Are you worried about it? Don't hide it from us, we are a family."
Sun Han touched her hair, her eyes as gentle as water.
Meng Tiantian thought about it, put down her chopsticks, and looked at her husband and in-laws solemnly, "Dad, mom, husband, I... just signed up for the hospital's medical support team."
"What team?!"
"Go, where to go?!"
"Wuhan."
The room suddenly fell silent, and the inexplicable low pressure surrounded the dining table. Even Qiqi opened her eyes wide and looked at everyone ignorantly.
The old couple looked at each other.
"Tiantian... You heard from your mother that your father and I have always supported your work. You are busy at work, so we help take care of Qiqi at home. We never bother to take hard work, and we don't want you to be tired or hungry after get off work. I hope you and Qiqi are healthy and happy, but now you... why don't you discuss with us?"
"Mom, I'm sorry, the hospital news was released temporarily, I... didn't care." Meng Tiantian looked apologetic.
"Can the registration be cancelled?"
Sun's father frowned, "We have read the news these days. The number of virus infections is so terrible. You medical staff are all in close contact with patients, which makes people feel uneasy."
Meng Tiantian bit her lip and didn't know how to respond. She was like a soldier in the rear camp. Her comrades on the front line were competing with the god of death. She was exhausted and didn't dare to rest. Why did she have the nerve to retreat in the last battle?
“When will you set out?”
Sun Han, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly asked.
Meng Tiantian was stunned: "Tomorrow afternoon."
Her voice unconsciously lowered a little, and Sun Han's attitude became particularly important at this subtle moment. If he couldn't understand, he would not support himself...
"Don't worry."
Sun Han held her hand on the table, wrapped her small hand tightly with her big palm, and the warmth instantly rushed into the atrium along her bloodline.
"What are you talking nonsense?" Sun's mother was unhappy and glared at her son. "Tiantian is not in good health in normal times. She catches a cold and cough when the season changes. What kind of new coronavirus is so scary, can you send your wife over?"
Sun Han smiled helplessly and had no time to say anything, Sun's father continued to scold with a stern face.
"And we, Qiqi, have not been separated from her mother for more than three days since she was born. Tiantian will not know how long it will take to come back after leaving. What should the child do if he wants his mother?"
Although Qiqi couldn't understand what the adults were saying, she looked so serious, but when she heard that her mother was about to leave, she was so scared that she jumped off the chair and threw herself into her mother's arms.
"Woooooooooooo~ Mom won't leave, Mom won't leave!"
The child cried, which was already a little nervous, and Sun's mother's eyes suddenly turned red.
Sun Han rubbed his temples, picked up his daughter and sat on his lap, wiped the little flower's face with a towel, and gently comforted him: "Qiqi, how do you often introduce your mother to kindergarten children?"
"Mom, mom, it's an angel in white!" the little guy replied sobly.
Sun Han smiled and nodded, "Did the angels in fairy tales come from heaven to the mortal world to protect many people?"
"yes……"
"Now there is a place called Wuhan in China that is sick. Many children like you, as well as uncles and aunts, are sick. They need their mother's help. Will Qiqi support her mother?"
"But I need mom, too..."
Listening to her daughter's obviously loose tone, Meng Tiantian hurried over and kissed her daughter's pink little face. "Mom promised Qiqi that she would video you whenever she had time and tell you stories. When those patients are in good health, will mom go home and accompany you immediately?"
Qiqi puffed her mouth and didn't want to agree. She buried her head in her father's chest and pretended that a little koala was hanging without moving.
Sun Han knew his daughter's temper and looked at his wife and nodded slightly.
The meal ended with a long time. Sun's mother stayed in the kitchen. She could see her spinning around through the glass door, as if she was sorting out something.
Sun's father watched the news in the living room for a while. Every time he encountered news that medical staff could not go to the toilet or eat, he deliberately turned the volume much higher.
Meng Tiantian took a bath for her daughter and was about to carry her into the house to coax her to sleep when she saw her mother, who had finished her work, coming over.
"Tiantian, your dad and I will take the kids tonight."
Qiqi often slept with her grandparents, but she was particularly attached to her mother tonight. Grandma coaxed her for a long time before she changed hands and took them over. Sun's father turned off the TV and went back to the bedroom with their grandparents and grandchildren.
Meng Tiantian packed up the bathroom, washed up briefly, and when she walked to the door of her bedroom, she suddenly heard a deliberate voice coming from inside.
"Yes, medical disinfectants, especially medical masks and n95, I'll ask for all the products you can contact..."
"Money is not a problem, I will get it at noon tomorrow at the latest..."
"Your sister-in-law, she is going to Wuhan to support her soon. I'm afraid that they don't have enough medical supplies, so I can prepare more..."
Sun Han in the room was still discussing something with the other party. Meng Tiantian outside the door leaned against the door frame and did not dare to make a sound. Tears quietly slid down, one after another onto the clothes.
After he finished calling, Meng Tiantian heard the sound of her suitcase being dragged again. She wiped her face and pushed the door and pushed in.
"husband……"
Sun Han was squatting on the ground to sort out the clothes in the box. Seeing Meng Tiantian's big red eyes, she frowned with pain.
"Cry?"
Meng Tiantian nodded with the nerve to nod, walked over stammeringly, looking at the swimsuit and beach skirt that were taken out, and sighed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't discuss it with you in advance."
"fool."
Sun Han's hand movements did not stop and continued, "Don't take it too seriously today. They are worried about you. I heard that many medical staff have also been infected..."
"I know." Meng Tiantian squatted beside him, resting her head on Sun Han's shoulder, and her heart seemed to be filled with something warm. "Don't worry, I will protect myself. On the day I go home, I will ensure that there is a lot of hair."
