Xie Qiang, the father of the second child, used the camera to record the life of the second treasure in the family since the epidemic. He said that the epidemic in Shanghai has changed the way everyone lives, making the trajectory of life from schools, companies, supermarkets... Slowly shrink to the point of only home. From the previous three points and one line, two points and one line, it has become a little life now.

The following is Xie Qiang's diary of epidemic life:
We are a two-treasure family, I work in an e-commerce company, my lover is a nurse in the operating room, and my mother-in-law lives with us to help us take care of our children, Dabao Little Crab is in the first grade of primary school, and Erbao Little Crab is in kindergarten.
Since March 14, primary and secondary schools in the city have begun online teaching, and they will no longer go to schools. Because the little crab also does not go to the kindergarten, in order to let the little crab not be disturbed by her brother, I changed the study into her exclusive "air classroom", through the transparent glass can see her class status at any time, but also to avoid the outside sound interference, let her concentrate on learning.

On March 27, Shanghai announced that it would implement sealing and control management, and on the 29th, my lover received a notice from the unit that all medical staff needed to be on standby in the unit until the end of the sealing. In the evening, the company I worked for also announced that I would start working from home on the 30th, so in the middle of the night I sent my lover to their unit, and then returned to the company to take home the laptop at work.
On the fifth day of separation from my mother, this was the longest time that two children had been born and separated from my mother. On this day, the teacher of Little Crab Kindergarten organized the children to connect video chats together, and everyone talked about what they had done at home for so long, what they wanted to say to their friends, and what wishes they could say. When it was Little Crab's turn to speak, he said that his wish was that his mother would come back soon, and that she had not returned for a long time. Indeed, he really missed his mother, and when he said this, the corners of his mouth were also grinning unconsciously, and he felt that he was about to cry.

Sealing control for nearly half a month, I saw that some people in the circle of friends bought hamburger fried chicken fast food, and suddenly became hungry. In order to reduce the workload of volunteers, the owners of our community spontaneously reached a consensus not to order non-essential takeaways such as drinks and hamburger fried chicken. But fortunately, my lover is a food lover, not only likes to eat but also likes to make food, and there are often various raw materials at home. So I was responsible for improving the food for my family. Follow the tutorials on the Internet, from chopping meat to making meatloaf to toasting bread embryos, all homemade, but the final product is also unexpectedly delicious. In the evening, when the two little crabs and their mothers were videotaped, they said that the burgers they ate today were delicious, and as an old father, I didn't have a sense of accomplishment.
Frozen beef in the refrigerator, flour found a lot, canned bottle of sour cucumbers only three small roots left, the most precious is fresh vegetables, difficult to grab, can not be stored for too long.

April 19th is my birthday and the first time I've not celebrated together since my lover got married. In previous years, birthday cakes were prepared for me by my lover, either ordered in advance or made by myself. However, during the epidemic period, the cake is really unattainable. But for my birthday, how can I not have a cake, especially when there are two small crabs at home looking forward to my birthday and being able to eat the cake I like. So I began to look for a recipe to make a cake, and then looked for raw materials according to the formula, of course, when my lover was not there, it was much more difficult to find raw materials than to find a formula... Fortunately, she stocked enough on weekdays, and all the ingredients were found by me, so I had the first cake I made in my life, or made for my birthday.
Finished cake.
On the night of my birthday, she told me to call her for a video while I was cutting the cake so she could celebrate my birthday remotely over the Internet.
April 29 is my lover's birthday, there is no way to come back to celebrate, here I wish her a happy birthday. Thank you for your silent dedication to our small family, we feel very relieved to have you and countless big whites on the front line of the fight against the epidemic.
Lovers in sampling work. Listening to her say that when she cooperated well, she could sample more than 1,000 people a day.
My lover told me that they were a duo sweeping the building, going door to door to sample layer by floor.
The epidemic is still continuing, life must continue, adjust the mentality, and strive to let the children live a full and happy childhood under the epidemic; let the lover stay in the hospital and stick to their jobs. I believe that soon we will be able to defeat the epidemic, get life back on track, and let the children return to the sunshine.
The little crab was brushing her own sneakers, and seeing that her brother's shoes were dirty, she had to brush them together. In the days when my mother was not at home, I felt that I had suddenly grown up a lot.
Hopefully, soon, the kids will be able to picnic on the grass and run in the sun.
