In December, the "ice city" of Harbin gradually entered the coldest period of the year, and the new crown pneumonia epidemic slowed down the pace of many people. Here is the miss, confusion and helplessness brought about by the epidemic, but more is waiting, perseverance and watch...

Wait after missing

Sleep in the morning until you wake up naturally, fry two dishes for breakfast, "brush drama" can "brush all night"... Miao Miao never thought that she would live such a "leisurely" life - although there was helplessness and bitterness in it.

Miao Miao is a hairdresser at a barber shop in Daoli District, Harbin, Heilongjiang Province. Affected by the epidemic, Miao Miao's barber shop has been suspended three times since last year. On December 4, the barber shop closed again, and Miao Miao helplessly opened the "leisure" mode again.

" I unsealed, sister, are you in the shop?" ”

"Sister, the epidemic is here again, the school is closed again, and I can't get out again." ”

This is what a college student said twice before and after making an appointment with Miao Miao for a haircut. Many of Miaomiao's old customers are students, but under the epidemic, many colleges and universities have closed their schools, and some old faces have not been seen for a long time, and some have even caught up with the epidemic about three times before and after, so they have been missed.

"Some customers also said that the old epidemic can't go out, and there is no need to get the whole hair, and the New Year is a whole piece!" Miao Miao said.

Every time she catches up with the epidemic, there are many fewer customers in the store, but Miao Miao always dresses herself up exquisitely and beautifully, and she always hopes to show everyone the energetic and enthusiastic side of her body, even during the epidemic period.

Now, she looks forward to the day when she returns to normal, and all the misses can turn into a reason to meet again and laugh.

Persistence on the strings

Also "on holiday" due to the epidemic is Xiao Zhao, the operator of a restaurant in Harbin. 5 years ago, Xiao Zhao returned to his hometown from studying in South Korea, opened this Korean restaurant near a university, with hard work, the store became famous, and at the busiest time, he only closed the store for one day a year during the Spring Festival.

But the epidemic gave him a "mandatory rest order". "There's still pressure." Xiao Zhao said.

In July this year, Xiao Zhao set up his own small home, happy at the same time, there is also the pressure of bank loans, new house decoration, fortunately, there is family support, so that he is not too worried.

"I have thought about changing careers, I have thought about transformation, and what I hope most is to stick to it." Xiao Zhao said, "After all, I like this." ”

The "emptying" that was forced to appear also gave Xiao Zhao the opportunity to adjust himself and think about life and the future. He loves music, likes to play guitar and write songs, and when the store was not busy, he would pick up the guitar to practice. Recently, although the store has been closed, he has also come to the store from time to time, and the guitar is placed in the corner of the store as usual.

Recently, one of his favorite b-station owners uploaded a new guitar playing video, adapted from the song "On the shores of Lake Baikal", and he also practiced, "In my arms, in your eyes, there is a spring breeze intoxicating, where the grass is green..."

Like many "Ice City" people, Xiao Zhao insisted on waiting for the day when the ice and snow melted and the spring breeze was drunk.

Watch in the shot

"This is the flower I planted, too faceless, it opened two and a half flowers, and the purple-skinned garlic I planted didn't grow well!" In a short video by Wu Libo, a citizen of Harbin, she turns the camera on her own flower.

As the operator of an egg store, Wu Libo likes to share his daily life on social networking sites, a tripod, a mobile phone, is all the equipment for Wu Libo to shoot videos. The style of slow whispering "nagging" has attracted many netizens, and some have come to buy eggs.

In the past few days, there has been a long queue at the door of Wu Libo's store - not to buy eggs, but to do nucleic acid testing nearby, and Wu Libo also shared his feelings in the epidemic with everyone in the camera.

The rent cost of nearly 100 yuan per day, and the salary of employees of about 10,000 yuan per month... Wu Libo admits that every day when she wakes up, she thinks about these costs, and she has also tried to "lie flat" due to the reduction of sales by one-third due to the epidemic.

"Later, I found that I was not suitable for 'lying flat', and I was confused and couldn't stay idle!" Wu Libo said that the new order came, and she continued to be busy. "No matter what, the eggs can still be sold, and people know that they are happy and relaxed."

"Strongly support you." "The epidemic is not a big deal, we in Harbin this little difficulty is not a big deal, come on!" Under Wu Libo's video, many people left messages for her.

Inside and outside the camera, people in the city are cheering and watching like this.
