Xinhua News Agency, Wuhan, March 17 Title: The love story of two couples who fought against the "epidemic"
Xinhua News Agency reporters Li Yun and Liu Yi
Chen Lei was bending over and counting the newly arrived medical supplies when suddenly a girl jumped on his back.
"It scared me a lot." Chen Lei was a little shy, "I didn't expect it to be her." ”
The girl who jumped on Chen Lei's back was his wife, Zhang Huan, who, like Chen Lei, was a member of the army's medical team supporting Hubei. However, Chen Lei was the first batch to leave Chinese New Year's Eve night, and Zhang Huan was the third batch to come from the back. One of the two was in Huoshenshan Hospital and the other was in Taikang Tongji Hospital, 22 kilometers apart, not far, but they had never met.
It was hard to see this side, and this side was less than half an hour.
"The first reaction was to save snacks for so long and finally give her something to eat." Chen Lei said, "However, meeting is more harmful." ”
Counting up, Chen Lei has been in Wuhan for 53 days, and Zhang Huan has also been 33 days.
Like Chen Lei and Zhang Huan, another couple, Mao Mei and her husband Mei Zhe, were separated for more than 50 days. Unlike Chen Lei and his wife, Mao Mei and his wife are farther apart - Mao Mei is in Wuhan, Mei Zhe is in Xiaogan, and they have been married for 25 years.
In the dead of night, Mao Mei can finish the day's work. 70 kilometers away, as the leader of the counterpart support team from Chongqing to Xiaogan City, Mei Zhe is still busy. But no matter how busy he was, he would squeeze in time to tell Mao Mei: "Peace." ”
Mao Mei waited for "peace", replied to "peace", and then went to sleep. Early the next morning, she was still a professional and meticulous Dr. Mao in the ward.
At 4 o'clock Chinese New Year's Eve, Mao Mei's mobile phone rang: "Wuhan needs support." Mao Mei replied: "The country is in trouble, and The piaf is responsible." ”
Mei Zhe gave her a thumbs up at the side: "You have more than 10 years of clinical experience in respiratory medicine, you should go." But you already have heart disease, diabetes, and you must take care of yourself when you are outside. ”
Almost at the same time, Chen Lei was also replying: "I can go up at any time." He woke Zhang Huan up, discussed canceling the New Year plan, and left on standby.
That night, in front of the bus from the hospital to the airport —
"Don't rush too fast when you encounter something, slow down a lot of risk." Zhang Huan did not hesitate to instruct over and over again. All of her infectious disease departments returned to the hospital after taking leave, and after the ward was sorted out, the next day they will begin to treat confirmed patients in Chongqing.
Mei Zhe brought his son to send Mao Mei together, and after the family of three took a group photo, Mei Zhe hurried home and Chinese New Year's Eve food for the family. Mao Mei said: "There is no handshake, no hug, we have long passed the age of Xiu En'ai." ”
After the first batch of medical team members rushed to the front line, the second, third, and fourth groups rushed to Wuhan' aid, and Zhang Huan was inside.
Before Zhang Huan came to Wuhan, he made a phone call to Chen Lei. The first phone call was to ask Chen Lei if he could also come to the front, and Chen Lei said yes.
Putting down the phone, Chen Lei called back again and asked Zhang Huan, "What if we have a son who is less than 1 year old in the front line?" ”
Zhang Huan said: "I am not the girl who was scared when I entered the infection department building 10 years ago. ”
The medical teams from various provinces and cities supporting Hubei came, and Mei Zhe was inside.
Mei Zhe half-jokingly told Mao Mei, "I'm coming to accompany you." The family was handed over to the son, and he grew up. ”
At the forefront of the fight against the epidemic, they are comrades-in-arms; in the small and ordinary life, they are husband and wife.
Before Chen Lei and Zhang Huan got married, Zhang Huan complained to Chen Lei: "You haven't proposed a marriage properly, I am confused and I am going to get married." In the drizzle of the mountain city of Chongqing, facing the empty streets and a camera flashing red lights, Chen Lei proposed to Zhang Huan: "I will be good to you." ”
These 6 words, he did. I didn't change my child's diaper once during confinement, I didn't take care of my child at night, he was all inclusive. Zhang Huan said.
The encounter between Mao Mei and Mei Zhe is under the cherry blossom trees of Wuhan University. When they got married, the two people ignored the most popular "three golds" and "three major pieces", but went around the five provinces of East China to "travel poorly", which was unusual 20 years ago.
"For so many years, we've all been like this, supporting each other and coming over." Mao Mei said.
Waiting for the victory of the "epidemic", the fear, pain, lovesickness, and fatigue they experienced during this time will melt in the days of mutual observance.
