Xue Xin received a call from her mother, and her eyes immediately turned red with grievance.
"Mom~~ I really want to go home! I'm almost hungry!"
Xue Ling asked her what was going on and whether there was no food in the company.
"No." Xue Xin explained: "The company originally had a pantry, a small kitchen, and a lot of food. The neighborhood committee distributed vegetables and meat every three days, and the ingredients filled the small refrigerator. But...but...
None of us can do it.”
Xue Ling: "..."
"Mom~~" Xue Xin felt extremely aggrieved and whispered: "I have been eating instant noodles for two days. Now I feel like vomiting when I smell the smell of instant noodles... I can't eat them."
Xue Ling scolded with a stern face: "If I ask you to learn some basic cooking skills, just say no! What about being afraid of oil fumes! What about being dirty! Do you regret it now? Without oil fumes and greasy dirt, you can have delicious food
Eat? Ah? You should!"
Xue Xin: "..."
Xue Ling said solemnly: "As long as you want to learn, it's not too late. Your mother and I are not good at cooking, but we can cook a little something to eat. In the past, we had to rely on our elders to teach us, and most of the time we had to explore on our own.
.You now have all kinds of video teaching and live teaching all over the Internet. You can learn from resources anytime you click on your mobile phone. If you don’t know how to do it, just learn it and learn it quickly!”
Xue Xin had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree: "...Okay."
"There is nothing to do anyway." Xue Ling said: "Find something to do to avoid being bored!"
Xue Xin hurriedly explained: "No! I still have to work. There are still three employees working overtime in the company, and I have to lead them to work together. Including my assistant, there are five or six people in the company.
"
Xue Ling's tone was quite helpless: "I'm quite pleased that you are ambitious. As long as you are diligent and dare to work hard, there are still many opportunities to make money. After all, this is a prosperous market economy period. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can make money."
Everyone will have a chance. It’s just that the epidemic outside is so serious now, and you still bring your employees to work overtime to catch up with the work - I really don’t know whether you are big-hearted or heartless!"
"Mom~~" Xue Xin laughed bitterly and coquettishly: "Don't you want to celebrate the New Year? Employees will have ten days off at once, and some can take half a month. If you don't take advantage of the New Year to rush out all the videos and advertisements, it would be so good to take advantage of the New Year.
How can I put it on the shelves during the traffic period?”
Xue Ling couldn't help but smile bitterly and asked in a low voice: "Then have you thought about your employees? You only think about making a lot of money, but you ignore the health and safety of your employees. Is this okay?"
Xue Xin was silent for a moment and defended in a low voice: "I...don't I work overtime too? I'm trapped here too."
"Yes." Xue Ling reminded in a calm tone: "You can be brave and risk being infected, but you can't ask your employees to follow you. They need their families, and their lives are not all about
Work. People earn you a little hard-earned money, but they have to risk their lives by being infected. How can you bear it!"
Xue Xin did not dare to defend herself and murmured: "...Mom, I was wrong."
"It's good to know." Xue Ling lowered his voice: "This is an invisible war, and the situation outside is extremely serious. Protect yourself first, take care of yourself, and don't let us worry."
Xue Xin answered obediently.
Xue Ling continued: "During the Chinese New Year, if you hadn't asked people to work overtime, employees wouldn't have been stuck in the company without being able to go home. After the lockdown is over, you should reward employees well, appease their emotions, and give them a couple of
A paid vacation. Also, learn to cook noodles or rice, and simply scramble some eggs and fried rice to eat. If you are missing something, just send a message to Ah Qing. His subordinates can send it to you using a drone."
Xue Xin said happily that she would contact him immediately.
Xue Ling did not continue chatting with her and quickly hung up.
Then, she dialed Xinyuan's landline number.
After a while, Chen Xinzhi answered.
He said that the eight employees staying in Xinyuan for the New Year and two of them have been tested three times and are all fine for the time being.
Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "Does the community need your help? Can you help?"
"No need." Chen Xinzhi explained: "We have already asked. The community committee here has enough staff but few residents, so the work pressure is not great. The pressure in other neighborhoods will be greater. However, the purchased medical supplies are coming soon.
We will go to the imperial capital to help distribute to various communities. If we can arrive at around two o'clock in the afternoon, we will go out in advance to welcome them."
"Can you move around?" Xue Ling asked.
Chen Xinzhi explained: "Aqing's people have already said hello. We have test certificates and pass certificates, so we can come and go freely."
Xue Ling still couldn't help but worry: "You must wear masks and protective clothing to prevent yourself from getting into trouble."
"Mom, we know." Chen Xinzhi comforted in a low voice: "Don't worry, everything is fine here."
Xue Ling said "hmm" in a low voice and hung up.
What her son-in-law said was an understatement of comfort. She knew very well that the current situation in the imperial capital must be very bad.
Cheng Tianyuan frowned and asked: "...How about we fly back quickly when navigation becomes available?"
"No." Xue Ling shook his head gently: "We can't act rashly, because the bodies of several old people cannot withstand the torture."
It doesn't matter if the young people are strong and strong, but there are an old man, a young man, and a pregnant woman in their group, so they really can't act impulsively.
"That's right!" Cheng Huanran took his old father's hand and frowned: "This virus is very serious, not an ordinary flu. The worst part is that there is no symptomatic medicine, so Uncle Huan and all the doctors are here
We stayed up all night looking for a suitable treatment method, groping and trying. We can't go back now, and even if we can - we can't go back."
Everyone sighed one after another.
After a while, Xue Ling frowned and asked: "Have any of our relatives been infected with the virus? You can't hide it any longer. We have to know sooner or later. Let's talk about it, is it true?"
"Xiaoyun." Cheng Huanran lowered his voice: "You must not tell Uncle Ahu and the others... Xiaohuzi has warned her again and again."
"Is she okay?" Xue Ling murmured distressedly: "Poor baby..."
Cheng Huanran whispered: "I have been keeping in touch with her. Her fever has gone away now, leaving only some cough and general weakness. Uncle Huan sent her some Chinese patent medicine, and she said that her cough was better after taking it. She
The symptoms are considered mild, and I should be able to leave the hospital if I persist for a few more days."
"That's good." Xue Ling breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Is there anyone else?"
Cheng Huanran looked troubled and replied: "...and Aunt Achun."
"What?!" Xue Ling asked nervously: "Why is there still Sister Achun? Who infected her?"
Cheng Huanran had no choice but to explain clearly one by one, in a low voice: "My aunt suddenly had a fever on the second day in the quarantine hotel and has been sent to the hospital... The situation is not yet clear."
"Does Tietou know?" Cheng Tianyuan asked with concern: "Does Duoduo know? Who is taking care of Sister Achun?"
