C61 A Double Shot
"I wanted to take care of her and protect her, but who would have thought that my hasty wish would be so different?" - - - Scroll Psalm
The New Year's holiday passed peacefully in the midst of a warm and romantic atmosphere.
The people who had been busy for the past year were either receiving or waiting for their double salary at the end of the year. They began to calculate how many bonuses they could receive, regardless of whether it was bitter or bitter. They could bring happiness and hope to buy gifts for their relatives, plan how much food and clothing they could eat during the New Year, and prepare gifts to visit their relatives and friends. . . Some families also seized the last opportunity to reserve a group of banquets to discuss and select dishes for the rare gathering of the New Year.
However, what did this joy have to do with the residents of East River New City? In the entire Lucky Street, there were only a dozen or so ordinary and simple food shops!
All the orders from the toy factory were delivered, and Boss Zhou comforted the employees who had been working overtime. In order to save his labor costs as soon as possible, he prepared to take a long vacation in early January. These days, The female workers were only doing some cleaning, inventory of tools, and preparation of materials in the factory. As a Quality Inspector, it was relatively easy for Xinzi to follow behind the designers and the fabricators. He looked at the production process of some samples and discussed the key points of quality inspection. She could finally follow the normal working hours and get off work!
Because there was a website design course at night, she was still preparing to buy some buns and bring them along. At that time, she would borrow the factory's microwave to heat them up for dinner.
At the entrance of the bun shop, she saw the middle-aged man she met at the train station on the day of the rainstorm. He had already picked up the buns, but he stood at the bottom of the stairs and kept making noise, attracting the residents' attention.
"Everyone, tell me, what is this called? It's the Lunar New Year, but Dongjiang New City doesn't even have a restaurant! I see that the district government website has made it clear that the standardized vegetable market will only be opened at the end of March. Are the commoners still going to celebrate the Lunar New Year? "
"We are also worried about this! It might not be the New Year. Today is ramen, tomorrow is Sha County, and the day after tomorrow is Steamed Bun's livelihood, right?" "That's right. Relatives and friends came to treat them to these snacks. I'm really sorry about that! " "Even if relatives and friends don't come, we have worked hard for a year. I really want to have a nice environment to have a family dinner and relax. "
"I heard the day before yesterday that the bus has been upgraded In addition, the newly opened East River North and South Line was opened on Jan. 15. If we can't catch up with the matching this year, then we can only overcome it this way. " Xinzi waited for the radish buns to come out of the cage. When he heard the neighbors' conversation, he interrupted.
"Heh, you little girl aren't that old, but you're quite capable of 'suffering'? Then why are you here to buy buns?" The middle-aged man shot a sideways glance at Xinzi. "Then take the bus and buy some from the north bank!"
"What's there to talk about with her? If she comes from a remote place, no matter how broken Dongjiang New City is, it'll be a treasure gathering basin!" Aunt Hu also squeezed into the crowd. When she saw Xinzi, she followed suit.
"You're right. If you have a good mentality, you can also become a treasure gathering basin from a desolate mountain or a lone island!" Xin Xiaozi's reply to Aunt Hu's words was even more spicy than the carrot bun in his hand!
"Hey, hey, little girl, don't argue. I know you are also kind. " Seeing Xinzi's little face turn red, an elderly resident tried to smooth things over. "I've been driving recently because I found that the distance between the cars has been shortened. "
"Isn't that what 'East River Sharing' got for appeal?" Aunt Hu rolled her eyes at Xinzi, then turned to the middle-aged man and shouted, "Hey, Liang Xi, why don't you go online and find the person in charge of 'New City Night Speech', 'Caterpillar', and help us talk again!?. . . Aunt Hu rolled her eyes at Xinzi, then turned to the middle-aged man and said, Hey, Liang Xi, why aren't you looking for the person in charge of 'New City Night Speech', 'Caterpillar'? Calling him online is much more useful than us! "
"I left a message! But he didn't make a single sound before and after New Year's Day. When 'Shared Patterns' is being pushed around every day, it's either eating or playing. He intentionally provoked us! " The middle-aged man called Liang Xi complained," I guess. . . Has he gone overseas for a vacation? "
"Even if he went overseas for a vacation, he should speak on behalf of us before leaving! How can he be so irresponsible?" Aunt Hu wanted to turn her eyes to Xin Xiaozhi, but she saw her holding the bun and walking away in a hurry. She was very depressed!
The first working day of the New Year had ended. Winter Sun, who had entered the ninth year of New Year, was afraid of the empty space on the south bank of the East River, and had long since descended to the horizon.
The residents who had returned to the new city felt their hearts and minds relax in their warm homes. Many people began to sit around the television, paying attention to the local news, and holding a hot dinner.
"Hello, everyone. Happy and peaceful New Year's Eve. You must feel the taste of happiness and peace. But do you know? In order to maintain the peace and harmony of the community, how many traffic police and public security officers are on duty overnight for us East River citizens? And how many volunteers have silently contributed to patrol the various community areas, they are worthy of our respect as security guards. Here, please allow us to represent the citizens of the East River to express our sincere gratitude for their hard work! Please follow our cameraman's camera to see how they are unafraid of the cold, how they patrol day and night, and how they are willing to pay for their hard work. . . "
On the screen, the reporter used a composite camera lens to play the scenes of the safe volunteers in different areas braving the cold to strengthen their patrol, and how they walked on ice and snow to eliminate the risk. The hands that were frozen red, the frost on the hat and mask, and the eyes that were guarding the community seriously. . . Displayed the most simple and touching moment of the basic volunteers.
"Here, we also want to give a round of applause to an old man who is still lying in the hospital. He is more than seventy years old. However, in order to protect the safety of the new city, we have to stop thieves from stealing. He had ignored the fact that he was old, and that he was being pursued by the snow, until he slipped and fell on the road filled with ice and snow. . . But even so, The recovering old mister Liang was not afraid of hardship. He requested to return to the resident public welfare team after he was discharged from the hospital. Let us applaud his selfless love, and hope that he will recover to health as soon as possible! "
Tan Yin took out the egg soup stewed by his mother from the pot and placed it on the table. When she saw the scene of Old Liang receiving flowers in his hospital bed, she cheered in her heart, but she faintly felt a little uneasy.
The reporter's following words indeed made him apprehensive. "But. . . Here, we also have to give some suggestions for the community organization's volunteer service: When we hope to form a community public service team, We pay more attention to the age, health, health, and other factors of the volunteer team in order to prevent elderly and sick elderly people from participating in the service in an exceptionally harsh environment. To ensure the safety of their lives, and to ensure the safety of those who offer their services! "
Qian Jianfeng At home, Xiang Sunflower, who had rushed over to discuss New Year's work with him, had just picked up a dish with his chopsticks. When he saw this, his hand trembled, and potato chips fell out of his small bowl.
"What did you say?" Seeing that Qian Jianfeng was silent, Xiang Sunflower tried his best to smile. He took out the old white jerky that he had brought and poured a cup for him. "Could it be that we don't give Grandfather Liang a chance to be safe?"
"Hehe, it's nothing. You're right!" Qian Jianfeng picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of salted meat for Xiang Kuansheng. He took a sip of the wine bitterly and said, "It's considered a good start for the New Year. You gave me the first shot and reminded me to work more meticulously in the future!"
Liang Xi was waiting for the braised pork knuckle to be served on the table. He liked to eat this, but Dongjiang New City couldn't buy it. Therefore, he could only ask his wife to buy a few more for him in the fridge every time she went to the north bank general supermarket. Every now and then, she would cook for him to satisfy his craving.
During this time, he took advantage of the fact that he was "living a life of regret" to climb up to "sharing all kinds of things. " He thought about how to leave a message for "caterpillars" and ask him to help with the construction of the new city as soon as possible. Even if he could open one or two home-cooked restaurants that could make Braised Pig Knuckle during the New Year, it would save his wife from running to the north bank for a pork knuckle during the New Year!
Before he could finish his draft of comments on the screen, a new blog post suddenly jumped onto the page. "The new city is lacking in resources, so why did they form a strong autonomous team? The injured elder is celebrating the New Year at the hospital! "
The hot steam from the braised pork joint drifted in front of Liang Xi, but it did not attract his attention at all. He was completely stunned by the pictures and the words taken by the group by Summer Thorn at the scene of Xue Ye!
The dim lights, the snowy night, the road covered in snow, the elderly who had fallen to the ground, the thin volunteers, the flashing police cars. . . This set of scenes, plus "Reportedly. The old grandpa who had patrolled the snowy night was close to seventy years old. He was suffering from multiple illnesses such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart rate discordance, and so on. While applauding for his safety, not asking for compensation, and protecting the safety of his neighbors, we have to ask. Why does the district propaganda department need to promote the streets and the neighborhood committee to form a resident autonomous team when 70% of the population is elderly and close to elderly? Moreover, all of them are made up of elderly people. Under harsh weather conditions. . . I think that this is compared to the standard vegetable farm that has yet to be opened, and the people are still longing for business. This is an even more worrying problem!"
" Heavy artillery! Absolute heavy artillery! 'Caterpillar', this old man likes someone like you! " Liang Xi shouted loudly, scaring his wife so much that she almost spilled the soup in her hands. She slammed the table a few times with all her strength, stomped her foot, and jumped up from the table.
