Two Beijingers in Wuhan: family members have been worried that they have resumed work remotely

Everything that can be conceived, everything that can be ordered, their family cares through the Internet.

Fu Xin, 29, visited friends in Wuhan on January 15. Li Feng, in his thirties, traveled to Wuhan on January 21. Both Beijingers live in Hankou.

After January 23, Fu Xin ’s friend Song You ’s family living in Wuhan, went to bed early, got up early, watched TV, played with a mobile phone, played iron, and learned to cook according to cooking videos. At first, he could barely cook the meat. These days, he is seven pounds fat. Li Feng lived in the hotel, and his catering stopped. He ate instant noodles every day, he had oral ulcers, he had indigestion, and slowly he ate less instant noodles.

For the first time in these days, Li Feng has time to be alone and think about life. In his spare time, Fu Xin is playing games, watching food and broadcasting, and planning his next trip: "Let yourself stay tight."

Fu Xin said that compared to other Beijingers in Wuhan, he was very lucky to be living in a friend's house and lead a more stable and comfortable life.

Stay in Han

When they first arrived in Wuhan, Fu Xin and Li Feng felt that everything was as usual.

Fu Xin was very comfortable with Song You sightseeing around and eating snacks. "Some young people wear masks, while the elderly don't wear them."

On January 22, Fu Xin saw from the circle of friends that Wuhan was about to close the channel from Li Han, and was preparing to change his ticket to return to Beijing early: "More than eight in the evening, the tickets for Beijing have already been sold out. It's gray, and the call is always busy. "

On the same day, Li Feng also heard similar rumors. There was no one in the subway. The entire platform where he was sitting was empty, and he and the station were two. Although he was worried about whether he could leave Han to Beijing the next day, when he contacted his family in Beijing that night, he was still full of the idea of ​​reuniting the next day.

On January 23, the Li-Han channel was closed, which was a watershed.

Fu Xin rushed to the airport and found that he was unable to return to Beijing, so he decided to return to the hotel first. Li Feng passed the security check and got on the plane, but the flight was finally suspended.

The moment he returned to the hotel, Li Feng was mentally prepared to spend the New Year in Wuhan, heading directly to the supermarket: "The supermarket is not a New Year store, but the feeling of snapping up and preparing for war. Which New Year will buy a bunch of instant noodles And cans? "

Instant noodles, ham sausage, and self-heating hot pot. For the first time in the supermarket, Li Feng bought more than 300 yuan of instant food. It is estimated that he can eat for one month. He can't take too much by himself. On the days when he can go to the supermarket, he goes to "carry food" every week. Five packs of instant noodles, he has mouth ulcers, and indigestion.

The days that followed were alone. At first the hotel was free to go in and out, Li Feng would go out alone and walk on the asphalt road wet by the drizzle. After passing three traffic lights, it was the Hankou River Beach. In my ears only the sound of the rushing water of the river. Later, around February 13, the hotel could not go out at will. Every day someone would register his temperature and disinfect the room.

For the first time, Li Feng had time to think about life alone. The epidemic reduced his communication with the outside world, and he knew nothing about anyone in the room next to the hotel.

During these days, a friend in Beijing always learned that he was still in Wuhan and would ask Li Feng how it was. "I feel okay, not particularly scary."

Li Feng looked out through the hotel's window. Even during the bustling daytime on weekdays, there were few people on the street, and the entire city was particularly quiet: "It feels like the entire city has pressed the pause button."

diet

Food and beverage stopped in the hotel where Li Feng lived. For more than a month, Li Feng had eaten four or five types of self-heating hot pot brands, and eight or nine flavors of instant noodles, and knew that he had "what kind of instant noodles are best suited". Sometimes he would pick up cucumbers, and sometimes he would be told by the hotel that the donated materials could be picked and let him choose what he wanted. "Let me pick the same from radishes and oranges. I just ate oranges recently." He grinned.

Looking at the takeaway brother who occasionally passed by on the road, he was afraid to order takeaway. "The news will spread in the air for a while, the droplets will be a while, the aerosol will be a while, I think about it, don't bother people." Li Feng said.

But recently, supermarkets have changed from current purchases to "group purchases". That is, the streets will arrange everyone to order materials. There are two packages, A and B. There are different combinations of vegetables and fruit fast food in the packages. Pick it up at the hotel front desk.

"I still have a few packs of instant noodles and mustard. I haven't bought a set meal, but I ca n’t use the vegetables in the set meal, no pot." Li Feng said, if the food in the store is finished, I want to discuss with the street. You can change vegetables for fast food.

In terms of diet, Li Feng found that he could not always eat instant noodles. "Anyway, you have to buy it after eating." So he started to eat two meals a day, omitting breakfast, instant noodles at noon and evening, sometimes with braised eggs, and ham sausage when there was ham sausage. "Try to be regular."

After the passage from Han was closed, Song You invited Fu Xin to live in his home. The community property registered Fu Xin's ID information and asked about his body temperature every day.

“Considering that I do n’t know when it ’s unsealed, it ’s really not safe to stay in a hotel. Song You also lives alone, so I moved to his home. On the first day of stay, I ’ll give him a 5,000 yuan“ crew fee. ”Song You insisted not to I still hid the money in his bag. "Fu Xin said," Song You was very calm and gave me a lot of comfort. "After learning that Fu Xin lived in a friend's house, his parents were also relieved.

Fu Xin and Song You rarely went out. Beginning on January 27, the community property began to send vegetables to households. Take your meals to your doorstep every day, then scan the code to pay. He and Song You are not good at cooking. Initially, the vegetables were barely cooked.

"Song You loves spicy food, and every dish must be put in hot sauce. I got angry after I ate it for a week." Fu Xin began to learn from cooking videos, and felt that life was not as terrible as the outside world thought, just watching TV at home and playing mobile phones It's almost the same as staying at home, just not going out to bend.

homesick

"I am so big, I did n’t spend the first year of the Spring Festival in Beijing, and I did n’t eat dumplings. On the 30th day of the new year, Song You and I ate instant noodles." Fu Xin said that when he was at home, he didn't feel how good his family was. Trapped in Wuhan, more and more homesick. For several days, Fu Xin was dreaming and was on the plane home.

"My parents have to video with me every morning and evening and ask me if I am safe." Fu Xin often felt annoyed, why did he come to Wuhan at this time to make parents worry about themselves.

"Parents always advise me not to worry. But since I was trapped in Wuhan, the blisters at the corner of my mom's mouth have not completely gone down, and I know that she is actually more anxious than me." Fu Xin said, the mother during the Spring Festival He originally arranged a blind date for him, but now he can only be stranded temporarily.

On the seventh day of the new year on February 2, a heavy snow fell in Beijing. In the circle of friends, seeing the snow scenes exposed by friends, Fu Xin was not particularly in her heart. Especially when seeing Fa Xiao and his family wearing masks, taking family portraits together in the community, Fu Xin's eyes were wet.

During the Spring Festival, Fu Xin's unit reported the situation in Beijing. He reported his information in Wuhan. Since then, he has received phone calls from the unit, the street, and the community to inquire about his living conditions and physical condition. "It feels like never before."

I ca n’t spend the New Year with my family. There are three times in Li Feng's memory. One was studying abroad as an exchange student at university, one was open all year round while working at an airline, and one was now. It feels different every time.

"It really feels like that. I never know which tomorrow or accident will come first. I live in the present and cherish my eyes." So when he learned that Beijing was also strictly controlled by the epidemic, Li Feng bought a lot of materials for his parents online: disinfection Supplies, instant noodles ...

Everything that can be conceived, everything that can be ordered, their family cares through the Internet. Li Feng can feel the heart of his mother, and he can feel the love. He wants to go home.

Return to work

On February 17, Fu Xin's company resumed work, and the leader specifically approved him to work in a different location. "My work is all online, and working in Wuhan has no effect on most businesses." For the first video conference, he became the focus of the department, and colleagues chased him and asked about the status of Wuhan. Fu Xin was helpless. "I haven't been away for 35 days. I know it is similar to everyone. The source of information is TV news."

Now Fu Xin has tried not to watch the news about the epidemic situation and wants to let himself be empty. In his spare time, he plays games, watches food and broadcasts, and plans his next trip: "Don't keep yourself tight, afraid of collapse." Fu Xin said that his work and rest during this month was very healthy, he went to bed early and got up early, and from time to time " Xie Tie ":" I've gained 7 pounds. The first thing I do when I return to Beijing is to lose weight. "He said.

Whenever a friend asked him if he would return to Beijing, Fu Xin always replied "in isolation". He has deleted the circle of friends posted while playing in Wuhan, "do not want to cause unnecessary trouble to his family." He said that after the epidemic ended, he would return to Beijing as soon as possible and go home.

A few days ago, Li Fenggang had gone through a "big joy and sorrow".

On February 24, a local announcement said that some people could leave Wuhan. "I was very excited at the time, even if I talked back to Beijing and then quarantined." He quickly booked air tickets and train tickets through the Internet and sought carpooling, but they all showed no. After two hours of toss, he suddenly received a new announcement, "Cancel Previous announcement. "Li Feng was delighted when he mentioned this.

The house has been around for a long time, and the rules are commendable. What can make Li Feng regular is the company's remote check-in. Starting from remote work in February, he got up before 10 o'clock to check in at the company through the app, send and receive emails, video conferences, conference calls during the day, butt up with customers for bills, deal with the contract for wage reduction and exemption in the event of an epidemic, and then at 6 in the evening Half time off work card.

Li Feng predicts that maybe the company will not be good for a period of time after the epidemic is over and it may reduce its salary. But now, he just wanted to say, "Have a good meal of mutton!"
