"My Stories Against the Epidemic" series
The anti-epidemic heart of a "most beautiful police sister-in-law"
Everyone puts in a little effort and hopes to keep going.
Cases are more heart-wrenching and less exciting
Since the beginning of this wave of epidemic in Guangzhou, I have "squatted" every day to hold a press conference on the epidemic in Guangzhou. Even if the work is not suitable for staring at the live broadcast, I always quickly swipe the mobile phone screen to find out the case of my lover's jurisdiction, that is, Guangzhou Baiyun with the "golden eye of fire" - the case is more heart-wrenching and less excited.
In the past few days, the number of cases in the lover's jurisdiction is slowly decreasing. The storm center of this epidemic seems to be slowly stabilizing, but the two small "divine beasts" in the family seem to want to "break out of the cage" and violate their commitment to actively participate in the "frontline anti-epidemic". Fortunately, the lover wrote a letter to the little "god beast" in the gap between the fight against the epidemic, changing the "direction".
The beast wants to "get out of the cage", Dad first aid field
As a grassroots police officer, since she went to the front line of the fight against the epidemic, she has little contact with her family, only greetings, and the theme of each time is nothing more than three: Is the homework finished? Got a fight? Does my brother eat well?
Every time I hear or see these three short sentences, it reminds me of Plato's "Three Questions of Life": Who am I? Where am I from? Where am I going? But for the grandmother at home, it is extremely difficult to answer these three questions of the lover, especially when the child is disobedient and needs the old man to do ideological work repeatedly.
After many days of staying at home, two "troublemakers" have already complained endlessly:
"I'm going to hang out!" I'm going to the park! ”
My brother even began to learn from me - "Ge You Lie" lying on the couch in a daze, and then, suddenly burst out a sentence: "So annoying!" ”
There is nothing I can do. Sometimes I even hope that it is not my lover who is on the front line of the fight against the epidemic, but myself.
Since the lovers have been practicing in the industry, they have been at the grassroots level, and doing mass work has always been "like a fish in the water." As a result, what makes people jealous and even angry is that he does not spend as much time with my children, but his relationship with children is more harmonious than mine. He applied his experience in doing mass work to the parent-child relationship according to the local and individual conditions.
So, on the evening of April 16, I sent a video of my child's "strike and strike" to my lover: You can't do it, so you can do "mass work" in the air.
At 2 o'clock in the morning that night, I received a letter from him to the big "divine beast", telling me to read it to the child.
As a first reader, my first reaction after reading the letter was:
"Whew! Eccentric, why didn't you have a letter to your brother? ”
The lover replied to me: "I wrote it all together." It's just that it really doesn't look like a letter. ”
After saying that, he sent another "letter to my brother" over.
When I looked at it, it wasn't just a bunch of vernacular, and it was too different from the letter I wrote to my brother:
"Drink plenty of water during the day. Wash your hands before meals. Don't beat people up. Collect the toys yourself. Shoes should be put away. Be a happy baby..."
After reading it, it feels like a "tight hoop curse".
Talking to dad for the first time in 10 days
I first recited the "tight hoop mantra" to my brother.
As I expected, my brother inexplicably rolled his eyes at me. Obviously, the method of "mass work" this time was improper and declared a failure. But between the lines, I can feel the lover's miss for his brother.
The letter to my brother clearly worked. He should understand Dad's intentions. My grandmother and I both breathed a long sigh of relief.
After listening to Dad's letter, the two children wanted to send another video invitation to Dad.
For 10 days since their lover left home on the 8th, the children have wanted to talk to their father on the phone countless times. Every time I messaged him if he had time, the answer was either a word "no" or not even a word.
This time, the brothers asked me nervously:
"Mom, will Daddy pick up this time?" Will you talk to us for a while? ”
"Mom, don't you send a message, just call?"
It was actually connected! Seeing that the lover's spirit is much better, there is a smile.
My first reaction – easing the outbreak?
The two children began to grab the camera:
"Dad, have you eaten?"
"Daddy look at the lightning McQueen I bought!"
"Daddy, why aren't you wearing protective clothing?"
"Daddy, Daddy..." Later, it simply turned into a grimace and sold cuteness.
The lover smiled as he watched and told the child: "Today the situation is better, there are not so many cases." Dad feels that everything is good, and if he insists on it, he will win! ”
Good fellow, the two children heard the word "victory", were very happy, and shouted together:
"Mom, Daddy's coming back!"
My lover and I smiled at each other, our hearts sharpened, and we shook our heads at the same time. This smile is our tacit understanding, encouragement and comfort.
At 5 p.m. on the 18th, the office resounded with the cheers of colleagues: middle school students returned to school on Wednesday!
My mood also relaxed a little. But it soon occurred to me that happiness was for the parents of middle school students. I, am not in this list.
It seems that Guangzhou's epidemic prevention and control measures are very stable.
Yes, if you persist any longer, you will win! While printing the information of the child's online lesson, I listened to the child's twittering around, and my heart was very quiet and powerful.
