My home is in the far northeast, a remote border town. Twenty years ago, after I went to work in Guangdong, I never went back in winter, and I was indifferent to the winter in Northeast China.
1 February1day, I suddenly received the news that my father-in-law who lives in his hometown in the northeast was critically ill and was being rescued in the hospital, so we quickly booked a plane ticket to return to the northeast.
The most convenient transportation route from Guangdong to my hometown is to fly from Shenzhen to Harbin, get off the plane, then transfer to Jiamusi by high-speed train, and then take a bus or high-speed train from Jiamusi to my hometown.
? I bought cotton-padded clothes, trousers and shoes all over the market when I left. To save money, I bought the earliest flight. Boarding at 7: 00 am on the 2nd, arriving at the airport at 5: 00, getting up at 3: 00, packing, leaving home at 3: 30, and taking the internet car to embark on the journey. Spring Airlines, it costs 300 yuan to check the luggage, and it only takes 100 to get on the plane by yourself. I choose to take my luggage on the plane; The life of the poor, every dollar should be carefully calculated. The flight was smooth. At eleven o'clock in the morning, I stopped in Huai 'an, Jiangsu Province, and turned on my mobile phone. The first news was that the epidemic situation was discovered in Harbin: "The local COVID-19 infected people are in a period of frequent occurrence, and the general public will go out to Kazakhstan, schools will be closed and shops will be closed."
? We took a medium-sized plane, 100 people, most of whom changed planes in Harbin. When we heard the news, we were all shocked and didn't know what to do.
? After resting for 30 minutes, I boarded the plane again, and the news from Harbin became more and more nervous and fearful. Some of them echoed others, others embellished them. Sitting in the seat, dreaming of the old man in the hospital bed, dare to "accompany time and space", the whole area is yellow, the city is closed, and the expenses are self-care. Every consequence is unbearable for ordinary citizens like us. At that moment, fear and helplessness filled our body and mind, and we wanted to ask a wise man. In order to get the most accurate information, I wanted someone to point out Amin Dao, but unfortunately I didn't. I can't help but think of a sentence Fang Fang said: "A dust of the times may be a mountain when it falls on an individual's head. And we are in a dusty era. "
Seeing that the plane door was about to close, I jumped up and ran to the door and said, "I want to get off the plane."
The air marshal squinted at me and said, "Get off the plane? What are you thinking about? Your home? "
The stewardess asked me, "Why did you get off the plane?"
I said, "Harbin has discovered the epidemic and is afraid to go."
The captain nodded and said, "Where's your luggage?"
I said: it's all here, not checked. "
The captain nodded and said, "Yes."
? At that moment, I didn't know how to thank the kind captain and hurried off the plane with my luggage.
In a strange place and an air-cooled environment, the two of us just sat in the waiting hall, brushing the traffic route over and over again, feeling depressed and helpless, regretting getting off the plane and not knowing how to get there. I lamented that fate had played a trick on me and the epidemic was raging. Wanyi accidentally went to another city and drowned. I was in a dilemma and finally decided to go back to my hometown in Guangdong. After a day's flight, it was already midnight when I got home.
On the 3rd, there was bad news, and my father-in-law fell into a shallow coma. We bought a plane ticket on the 4th and are in a hurry to go back. Transfer in Beijing, transfer to Jiamusi. We can't consider the cost of air tickets at present. It's good to go back.
I flew to Beijing on the afternoon of the 4th, waited for six hours to board the plane again, and arrived in Jiamusi at ten o'clock in the evening. As soon as the hatch was opened, a chill came to my face, from MINUS 20 degrees in Shenzhen to MINUS 20 degrees at the moment, and the snow all over the sky suddenly made people suffocate. There is no covered bridge. When I got off the plane, I ran towards the exit. At the distance of 100 meters, my whole body was frozen stiff.
? In the exit hall, epidemic prevention personnel line up, brush the travel code and health code, check the nucleic acid report, fill in the registration form, put the registration form and ID card together, and take photos for epidemic prevention personnel to upload. After all my efforts, I finally came out. There was no high-speed rail and bus in the middle of the night, so my friend contacted a taxi and sent it home for 200 yuan.
The vast snow, dark night sky, our body and mind are uneasy. After leaving Jiamusi and entering the hometown boundary, the roadside warning light flashed, and a man in police uniform waved and stopped him, telling him to get off and register. There is a car parked on the side of the road. There are two epidemic prevention personnel sitting on the car. We are standing outside the car. Scanning the code again, the snow is everywhere, and we are too cold to speak. Look at the man in police uniform, the fields are endless and unobstructed, but he just stands there fighting the snow and can't help but think of an old saying: no one's life is easy.
When I got home, I hurried to the hospital. The door was closed. During the epidemic, it is forbidden to enter at night and you can only go home to sleep.
I went to the hospital the next morning, scanned the code at the door, and checked the nucleic acid at the door of the ward, only to find that our report had passed 48 hours, and we had to do it again before we could enter the ward.
? We have to study nucleic acids. People who do nucleic acid in Shenzhen wear double latex gloves. Everyone in this nucleic acid spot wears single-layer disposable plastic gloves, which is the kind that KFC eats chicken legs.
There is someone on duty at the door of the ward, no visitors, no access. A man can't get in without his escort certificate. He lost his temper, kicked and turned the stall over. The security guard came up and stopped him, and the three men scuffled. A few minutes later, two policemen came in and took the man away.
? We managed to get into the ward. Several men are chatting in the corner of the corridor, with leftover lunch boxes behind them and cigarette butts on the ground. A nurse yelled at the man, "That's enough! Stop smoking!" " "
The father-in-law has been in a deep coma. When the old man was young, he was also a great man, enthusiastic and heroic. At this moment, the hero is dying, the old horse is crouching tiger, and there is only a sigh.
? 1On February 8th, the old man closed his eyes forever. Fortunately, his family was there. On the phone, a friend called the funeral master, who was called Yin and Yang Master, and asked him to enter the ward, dress the body and contact the funeral home. After the burial, drive to the funeral home to place the mourning hall. At four o'clock in the morning, it was freezing and snowy. It is called "heavy smoker" in the northeast, and it is also called "when the ghost bares its teeth". The employees of the funeral home have already gone to work; A little girl in her twenties is sitting by the door, eating steamed buns and controlling the flow of people. The funeral master introduced all kinds of etiquette, sacrifices and prices. Folk patriarchal clan system, filial piety and moral integrity are all the same words, and the family can only nod and listen.
? At noon, the temperature rose and the ground showed signs of thawing. I walked around clumsily in the snow wearing heavy cotton-padded clothes and trousers, and my whole body felt as if I was tied up.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, at high latitudes, a touch of sunset has hung on the top of the mountain. The whole family, old and young, plus relatives and friends, came to the mourning hall, knelt down and kowtowed, and then moved out various sacrifices: a fierce horse with red mane, a villa, a color TV refrigerator washing machine, a car phone, gold coins, and a couple.
The paper burning yard is located in the open space of two Lanting on the east side of the funeral parlour, surrounded by a six-meter-high fire net and a pine forest outside the wall.
? The master of ceremonies directs his family to make various actions and recite various auspicious words. The four-person band played funeral music, and the master of ceremonies lit the sacrifice, and at that time the fire was soaring. The cleaner lifted the money with a black iron hook to support the combustion, and the family members took out ten yuan notes as a reward.
? On the morning of the 9th, it was cremated. Because the cemetery is far away, the cremation time is set at five o'clock. After I get the ashes, I will go to the cemetery. Before dawn, the figure fell, the family members cried, and snowflakes floated in the air. The master of ceremonies parked his Toyota Jeep worth more than 300,000 yuan, boarded our Geely Jeep worth/kloc-0,000 yuan, and accompanied him to the cemetery. Of course, this is paid.
? The cemetery was bought a few years ago. Because of the heavy snow, the tomb was covered with snow. Two old women came up with shovels and asked, Do you want to clean up the snow on the grave? The charge is ten yuan. The family agreed, and the old woman put down the woven bag hung on the shovel, which contained wine and various seasonal fruits. Half a meter of snow was cleared, and the family placed urns, wine and various fresh fruits, bowed silently and left.
On the way back, the MC answered the phone and respectfully said, "Hello, director."
Apple 13, excellent call quality. I sat side by side with him, and clearly heard the director say, "Fucai holds hands, and public welfare is heart to heart." The people of the whole city support Fucai's public welfare activities, and everyone should give their love. There are nine people in your MC group, each with a task of 100 yuan. You are the team leader. When you have 300 yuan left, transfer the money to finance immediately. Later, you sent someone to get the lottery ticket. The MC agreed and hung up with a complaint.
? When I got to my door, I found it was raining when I got off the bus. I was born and raised in the northeast, and I have never encountered cold winter rain, and the epidemic is fierce, which makes the weather extremely bad.
? The old man's family still lives in shanty towns, and the street corner is still a public toilet. The feces froze into a tower, close to the pit. Squatting in the toilet to relieve myself, the cold wind blew my ass unconscious. On the ground of hutong, rain and snow are mixed together, and black mud piles are dirty and slippery. There is also a public telephone in the small supermarket in front of the house, and people are still using it. At night, someone burned paper at the crossroads, and the melted snow mixed with paper ash frozen into a round lump.
? When I get home, my father-in-law has medical insurance and social security. The total hospitalization and funeral expenses are 18000 yuan, and the social security pension may be 10000 yuan, which is still affordable on the whole.
? 1 1 left home in the morning and wanted to go back to Guangdong to do nucleic acid before leaving. The fee is 40 yuan money. Came to the checkpoint of a big hospital. There is a simple workshop in front of the hospital, and the epidemic prevention personnel wear latex gloves. The sampling process is the same as that in Guangdong. According to the custom of Guangdong, I keep a distance of one meter from the person in front of the queue and wait quietly. Suddenly, one person cut in front of me, another person cut in front of me, and three or four people stretched out their necks and squeezed into the window. They finally finished and broke up. I approached the window and was scanning the code. A big head squeezed into my chest from the left and said; "Is this free?" The other head squeezed into my chest from the right and said, "How to make this thing?"
? The epidemic situation in Harbin is still a medium-risk area, and citizens have entered the mode of "squatting at home". Demonstration on the video: Manzhouli squatting, Manzhouli squatting after Harbin squatting, Harbin squatting after Heihe squatting, Heihe squatting after Harbin squatting. In this epidemic, Northeast China became the hardest hit area, and Harbin was deeply involved. Some people on the internet say that Harbin is in a bad location, just at the throat of the motherland's territory.
Dare not set foot, had to transfer in Jiamusi-Beijing. My friend wants to drive me to Jiamusi, and turn on the phone to show that the expressway is closed and I can only take the provincial road. The rain that rained yesterday froze today, and the ground was covered with a thin layer of ice. Be careful when you walk, you will fall down if you are distracted.
? The sky is gray, the smog is straight at the forehead, the yellow branches are swaying in the cold wind, frost is hung on the building walls, black and gray ice and snow are piled on the roadside, the sidewalks are full of cars, pedestrians are walking carefully on the motorway, and there is a little space, and vendors on the ground are greeting pedestrians.
When my friend's car arrived, I looked around the hometown where I was born and raised, and I couldn't help thinking of a sentence by Mr. Lu Xun: "There is no life in the loess underground, separated by several deserted villages. I can't help but feel sad. "
