  To make a roasted naan requires multiple links such as noodles, cake making, and baking. 4000 baked naan is not a small number. In order to complete the donation, Abdi Weili and several colleagues spent three days baking in two batches, and finally delivered the baked naan to the community epidemic prevention staff.

  What surprised Abdi Weili was that when his restaurant resumed work, a large number of citizens who knew that he donated baked buns came to the store to express their support for him. "I went to a supermarket in Shuangliu to buy daily necessities. The boss did not collect money several times and said that it was sent directly to me. My landlord at the Huanglongxi branch even exempted me from rent for 2 months."

  "I don't ask for anything when I donate, I think I did what I should do, but everyone supports me so much, praises me, I am really moved." Abdi Weili said.

  When he came to work in Huayang in 2010, Abdi Power initially only sold mutton skewers on the street, and now has 4 branches. He also became a father of two children from a Maotou, and set up a business in Chengdu.

  Now, with the effective control of the epidemic, Abdi Weili's catering business has basically returned to normal. At the same time, he also responded to the call by setting up a night market stall at the door of a community in Huayang and offering free tea and meal discounts to sanitation workers at the store.

  "For so many years, thanks to everyone's care, the business is not bad. I got married and gave birth in Huayang. I have a deep affection for this place and can be said to be my second hometown." Abdi Wiley said, as long as there is a chance I will also do more "little things within my power" and pass on the love that everyone gives him. "Fifty-six nationalities are a family, and it is also appropriate to care for and help each other." (End)
