There's a joke,
Summarize the lives of women in this wave of the epidemic:
"Fight in the front, grab the vegetables in the rear".
It is not difficult to find,
Grabbing vegetables in the rear and organizing group purchases,
Mostly women,
They know better about the necessities of life,
Also better at building nearby relationships.

In front,
Calling the residents to be the head of the building of nucleic acid,
Medical staff who help you with nucleic acid sampling,
A lot of them are women.
Even among the couriers who are on the road
There are also female figures,
The four words "courier brother" cover up their efforts.
One connects women who are involved in the fight against the epidemic in different ways,
They use empathy and harmony
Different from the way men think,
Throw yourself into this April battle.
"Women have a temperature,
Thousands of women united,
The energy must be very huge. ”

At 6 o'clock, Zhuang Wenjing woke up from her sleep, and she was the first person in the family to get up.
As usual, she first made breakfast for the children and her husband, and then took care of almost all the housework in the house.
In addition to her "formal job" as a full-time mother, Zhuang Wenjing has also taken up a "part-time job" since the epidemic. Now she is the "leader of the regiment" of the Lianyang community in Pudong.
Zhuang Wenjing's "workstation" is on the balcony, constantly scrolling through the WeChat group of information, the phone number of suppliers, and the report full of numbers, which is her main work position.
Female leaders of The Pudong Lianyang Community
A month ago, she received a call from the president of the community women's federation asking her to help investigate the needs of the community group dish. Because she is the founder of the "Moms Club" in the community, she has organized many parent-child activities of the mom group, and she is also a member of the parent committee of a nearby middle school, from which she can link to many mothers in the community.
In the sealing stage, women like Zhuang Wenjing can always smell the most urgent needs early.
As housewives, they know that in addition to meat and vegetables, onions, ginger, garlic and condiments are also essential, they can think faster that isolation has been long, and paper and garbage bags may have been used up earlier. As mothers, they know whose children are as old as their own, and they can share resources and exchange ideas during online classes.
After some research, the demand for tuancai is as high as 90%. Zhuang Wenjing decided to take over the organizational work and gathered the 7 sisters who knew in the family committee together to become the original members of the "Hui Sisters Group".
The two mothers of the Huijie Group
These 7 start-up teams are all stay-at-home mothers in the community, each with different personalities and different backgrounds:
Zhuang Wenjing herself, once a project manager of a real estate company, likes to "save the bureau" to organize everyone to do things together;
Mother Rong, one of the founders of the Community Moms Club, is a first-class cooker and often writes food columns;
Hu Yiwen, a high-caliber student in fudan statistics and operations research, is usually very enthusiastic and loves beauty;
Srikey used to work in a foreign company, has a very active mind, and is a pistachio in the group;
Wang Hui, a very thoughtful person, is the minister of the Volunteer Department at the Parent Committee;
Li Xin, everyone calls her big mother, operates and maintains a public welfare reading room in the community, doing humanistic lectures and book drifting;
In addition, Annie and Betty, who are also core members of the PTA, are enthusiastic volunteers...
Huijie Group is counting the dishes
Each of them is responsible for a community, and the lives of the residents of several communities in the jurisdiction just need to "buy, buy and buy". "Huijie Group" is smoother than a single, vegetables, meat, eggs, milk, spices, rice noodle oil... When the sixth group of 200 rice oil sets were served, the group took only three seconds to form a group.
In addition to the ingredients just needed, many children in the community are still taking online classes, need to print learning materials and test papers, and the demand for ink cartridges is very large. Collecting such appeals, they organized a group purchase of ink cartridges.
After becoming the leader of the regiment, everyone has somewhat subverted their usual image. "Huijie" Zhao Jianhong is a singer, and now forwards the group purchase link in the owner group every day, pulling people into the group purchase group; Hu Yiwen, who loves beauty, because there is no protective hat, directly runs around the community with a shower cap.
Now, the "Huijie Group" has expanded from the initial 7 people to nearly 200 people, and the leaders of the group are all mothers. Many netizens who have never met before, Zhuang Wenjing said, after unsealing, made an appointment with everyone to meet offline.
The Huijie Regiment is counting supplies
In early April, when supplies were at their most strained, regimental leaders like the Huijie Regiment were described as "the source of shanghai's sense of security."
Above them, there is also a "regimental commander of the regimental commander.".
Cui Lili is a professor at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, and her main research direction is e-commerce. After the rise of "group buying", she has found supplies for more than 150 communities through the Shanghai Online Shopping Chamber of Commerce and her contacts in agricultural production bases and brand enterprises.
The vast majority of the "regimental leaders" she has personally docked with are women, including herself.
The same is true of Shanghai as a whole. They are of different ages, there are just 95 and 00 generations who have just entered the society, there are also aunts and mothers-in-law who have experience in life; they may be university professors, housewives, company executives, rice circle girls...
Cui Lili found that what they have in common is that they have a special kindness of "the old and the old, the young and the young and the young".
Cui Lili received a request for help from the regimental commander
The work of the regimental commander is trivial, not only to dock the needs of merchants and hundreds of people, answer the same questions over and over again; but also to carry out data statistics to deal with temporary orders and chargebacks; and finally distribute goods and deal with possible after-sales problems... Without enough patience and peace, no one wants to do such a "thankless" thing.
Cui Lili was deeply impressed by a passage on the Internet: "Those who can help the community successfully organize group buying, their information acquisition ability, organizational ability, execution, judgment, financial ability, and empathy ability are quite valuable." ”
In particular, "empathy" plays a key role in mutual assistance in the community. When everything that was once at our fingertips is separated by a low wall, we can still live a "responsive" life, relying on the kindness of strangers.
This also confirms the view in the book "Emotional Economy": in the next economic era, the technical part will be slowly diluted, and human employment and income will rely more on emotional tasks, and women will take on these tasks that rely on interpersonal relationships. The pandemic is like a drill for this day.
"Huijie Group" will write work logs and process books on group dishes every day
Blogger @Fengye pointedly pointed out the thinking advantages of women in group buying: unlike the "pyramid structure management" commonly used by men, women's talent is to "establish and manage matrix organizations, and everyone inside the matrix is equal"
"Huijie Group" perfectly explains the matrix organization, everyone is closely connected, equally important: Zhuang Wenjing is responsible for the selection of products, directly docking with reliable suppliers, and initially did undercover, lurking in a group of meat import companies to identify whether it is reliable.
Wang Hui is responsible for making the driver's route map. Srikey tabulation, do a variety of shipping orders, receipts. Hu Yiwen took on the responsibility of taking care of more than 50 pure old families in the community...
The "workstation" of "regiment leader" Zhuang Wenjing is on the balcony, and the WeChat group that constantly scrolls with information is her work position
Now, the "Huijie Group" has become one of the most respected people in the community. Zhuang Wenjing's daughter especially likes to watch her mother do "big white" and "big blue", once wrote a class assignment, she took the story of her mother as the leader of the group in the epidemic, and wrote an essay called "Simple Beauty".
Zhuang Wenjing said that the value of women is not necessarily reflected in the nine-to-five work, "being a housewife can also realize personal value in another way." As a regiment leader, I can do a good job myself, I can set an example for my daughter, and I can help others. Pushing oneself and others is a very fulfilling thing. ”

In addition to being responsible for supply in the rear, women are never absent from the front line.
On April 16, the topic of "more than 14 batches of Jingdong brothers rushing to shanghai" rushed to the hot search, and 3246 couriers gathered from all over the country to alleviate the logistics pressure in Shanghai.
Keen netizens found in the photos posted that there were men and women in the vast army of couriers, but the figure of women was covered up in the title of "Jingdong Brother".
Liu Xiaoli, a courier from Henan, is one of them. She is 40 years old this year, is a mother of three children, saw that the company is going to send someone to support Shanghai, she took the initiative to sign up: "Every day I pay attention to the epidemic situation in Shanghai, I want to do my part." ”
On the afternoon of April 15, she came to Shanghai with more than 50 Colleagues from Henan, and after doing nucleic acid testing the next afternoon, she officially began the delivery work in Shanghai. Leaving the house at 7 o'clock in the morning, busy until more than 11 o'clock in the evening to return to the place of residence, on the 17th, nearly 200 orders were delivered a day, during which he also helped a customer's old father buy medicine.
Among the male couriers, she was ordinary and special.
During the epidemic, Liu Li, a female boxer who became a volunteer at the hospital
Xiaolu, born in 1991, is a dental nurse in Shanghai. One Friday at the end of March, she suddenly received a notice from Corey to sign up for the support cabin.
Fawn was hesitant at first, and the situation in her family was somewhat special. She lives with her mother and three-and-a-half-year-old children, "mainly worried about children, who will sign up for kindergarten at the end of April this year, afraid that her mother may not be able to take care of her alone." ”
Fortunately, her mother was very supportive of her, and Xiaolu also explained this matter to her girlfriend who had just become a mother. Her girlfriend reassured her that if anything happened, she would help take care of it. "With their support, I had the confidence to sign up without hesitation."

March 28, the first day of the Fawn Support Capsule. She was assigned to the Expo Exhibition and Convention Center, which was the largest square cabin in Shanghai at that time, which could accommodate 6,000 to 7,500 beds, mainly for asymptomatic and mild patients. Most of the fawn's nursing group is a girl, and in addition to taking the temperature of the patients and giving them medicine, they also have to take care of their living and eating. There are also some male nurses who help with some hard work.
Fawns will always take a little more care of children and female patients, "with a little bootleg, often go to see them, bring some snacks, chat with them more, at least let them be happy when they are isolated." ”
The children in the square cabin give the fawn a "manicure"
Once, the fawn was preparing for a mission, and before getting on the bus, she heard that a new boy had arrived in the area she was responsible for, and she immediately went back to the hotel and got some drinks and biscuits.
There was no one around the little boy to take care of, and the deer took extra care of him. He liked to draw, so The fawn let him paint on his protective clothing, gloves painted with "nail polish", a watch painted on his wrist, and the "Captain" logo on his arm.
When the fawn is busy, it can only eat the first meal in the evening. Even this interview was done through intermittent voice messages, half a day when it was fast, and returned every other day when it was slow. "When resting, I am also on standby at any time, and I dare not sleep too much." Temporary notice to go out of the mission, put on clothes, say go and go. ”
The fawn takes care of the sick in the square cabin
On April 10, Xiao Fa received a temporary notice to change to the newly built Fengxian Cabin, where there was a group of newly admitted patients. She was working early the day before, and when she left work, she was still telling a patient, "We'll talk again tomorrow," but she didn't expect to go the next day. "I also joked with them that if I had to change places, would I be able to get these patients to come with me?"
On the day the fawn left, everyone said reluctantly in the group, "Now that I have walked for nearly half a month, there are also patients at the Expo who have been discharged from the hospital and sent a special message to tell me that I am really super happy." ”
Up to now, the fawn has been working in the square cabin for more than half a month, and the most worried about it is still the mother and the child. Every morning when you get up, or when work is over, if your family is awake, you can make a video call, but this is not the case. Worries and worries are passed on by a message that only half a day has the opportunity to watch once.
At the beginning of the epidemic in 2020, two-thirds of the medical staff supporting Hubei were women. Two years later, in the group photos of various places supporting Shanghai, more than half of the women's faces were counted. Far from friends and families, they treat the women and children they meet in strange cities as if they were their girlfriends and children.
Yan Yijia in a state of home isolation
Yan Yijia, who lives in Beicai, Pudong, is a psychological counselor who has been working for 13 years and has been staying at home for more than a month since the epidemic was closed.
In her home, there are two children who study at home, a mother who is obviously in the same neighborhood but cannot see each other, two adults with office needs, three cats, a small hamster and two turtles... She is very busy every day, in addition to the daily life at home, doctoral preparation, and work, but soon there will be one more - to do psychological assistance for everyone.
On a closed night, a daily optimistic and cheerful friend suddenly called and cried to her: "I am afraid that the Shanghai I love will be unrecognizable, and I can't do anything about it." ”
Yan Yijia will make short videos of psychological assistance every day
She immediately realized that her expertise could help others. Now she spends an extra two hours a day making short videos of psychological assistance.
For young children to go to the cabin: "Positive children under 7 years of age should not be isolated alone",
On the psychological condition of the elderly: "How to appease the elders in the difficult and isolated life",
On how to face suffering: "Do not sing the praises of suffering, but try to reconcile with suffering with meaning", etc., gives analysis and answers to various psychological dilemmas that may occur during the epidemic...
She also provided online psychological support for employees of different enterprises in the form of live broadcasts, with more than 600 people at the largest time. Voices that get a lot of support on social channels such as the circle of friends.
Yan Yijia can do these things freely, without the support of her husband, and their family runs a self-consistent family division of labor.

She observed that for many women, stay-at-home quarantine is harder than usual, with both work and additional housework.
Not only the head of the group, but most of the people involved in the group purchase are also the hostesses of the family. Some netizens vividly described the common image of men and women in group buying: "When women are desperately trying to get rations for their families, men are in the group of cigarettes, beer and coke. ”
As early as 10 years ago, when her first child was born, Yan Yijia realized that taking the child was a matter of two people, not "he [helped] me to bring". Since then, she has consciously involved her husband in childcare. In 2019, Yan Yijia went abroad for a year of further study, and the whole time was mr. Andh and his aunt took care of the two children together.

During this year's closure period, the artists took care of work, studies, and prepared group dishes for online shopping, all of which were responsible for Mr. Wang, and housework was also done in turn. "Trying to make the division of labor between two people more equal, not one person to bear all the things, is the subject of every family."
The same thing was found between "regiment leader" Zhuang Wenjing and her husband. Since the beginning of the epidemic, her family has completely become "outside the female protagonist, inside the male protagonist", and the former "hand-throwing treasurer" has silently undertaken the care of more families and daughters, so that Zhuang Wenjing can spend more time on the "regiment".
Once, a supplier made a mistake that resulted in more than a thousand full refunds. Zhuang Wenjing fell asleep in the busy, and Mr. helped her to return a single one, "I still picked up the lights at night in the middle of the night, I don't know how late I got it, he finished." ”
It is the graduation season, and Cui Lili's teaching work is even busier
In addition to being responsible for group buying, Cui Lili also has to give students online classes, change papers, and participate in graduate school admissions, and her own work has increased unabated. The husband also took on the responsibility of cooking for the whole family, although it was relatively simple, but it reduced a lot of burden for Cui Lili.
Speaking of the power of women in this epidemic, Cui Lili is very touched.
"Whether it is front-line medical staff or people responsible for grass-roots work, there are actually quite a few women." This group is warm, on the one hand more and more self-reliant, but also united. In the Internet age, isn't it all crowdsourcing, unlike agricultural societies and industrial societies, which require a very strong labor force, and now every woman exerts her own energy, which will be a very big driving force. ”
Medical worker Li Zhuangnian and colleagues have just completed more than 60,000 nucleic acid tests, and a stray cat suddenly appeared next to her
When we talk to them, we also see the warmth and romance that still remain in the days of war and chaos.
Yan Yijia had more time with his family. Two days before the takeaway resumed, she and her husband ordered crayfish to eat together. After the children got out of online classes, they played games together, dug up dirt in the yard of the house, and took care of the family's hamsters and two turtles.
Fawn cherishes every day she supports in the square cabin, and she likes to take selfies in front of the hotel mirror, recording work and daily routines, from the sunset seen at the end of work to accidentally drinking an expired yogurt. She posted her "fully armed" photo on social platforms with the text: "Unload the big white, but also an urban beauty." ”
Cui Lili recorded her life in the circle of friends, the radish she planted bloomed purple flowers; took the time to make a meal of leek steamed dumplings for the family; after a busy day, she found the cat sleeping on the sofa with her hands on the sofa; and before going on the live broadcast to talk about group buying, she made a makeup for herself for a long time.
This is what Alexievich called "women's war memories." They are able to see what men can't see, "with smells, with colors, with the microscopic world." ”
In April in Shanghai, they threw themselves into a long battle, and also seized the time to feel the short spring.
