On New Year's Eve, Yuan Yuan surfed the Internet at home, Tan Ruikang bought good food, and came back to watch him play in the bubble hall.
"Let me take a look at it again?" Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "How?"
Tan Ruikang shook his head and shook his head with a water bomb, which could only last for one second, Yuan Yuan decisively pressed the screenshot and saved it.
When there was a knock on the door, Tan Ruikang immediately laughed: "Come on!"
Yuan Yuan was still sitting in front of the computer, took out the screenshot and saved it. On the teak floor of the pirate room, "Milk Boy" stood on the left, "Chocolate Boy" stood on the right, and there was a circle of hearts in the center.
To copy it to your own computer, take it back to make a desktop...
The girl's voice: "Hey, you guys are so warm here! How can you be like this! Are you in the two-person world during the winter vacation? Tsk tsk tsk, there is also a washing machine! Damn Ma Liu! I can't see that you are so extravagant, and you usually spend so much money. stingy…”
Tan Ruikang decisively intercepted the girl: "Where's Wu Rui?"
"That guy doesn't know what to do, he's going home again today, he bought a standing ticket and left, I'll go to him, let's eat, what about your brother? Wow, you're still wearing pajamas, such a big man It's not ashamed to wear pajamas! It's still monkey pajamas, and bananas..."
Yuan Yuan had a headache when he heard it. He knew that the girl who came to play must be very noisy, and he would have to live in peace today.
Tan Ruikang called Yuan Yuan out and introduced them to the other boy who was supposed to be fun to come home, but only two girls came.
"Zhao Yuanyuan." Tan Ruikang said, "He's very funny. I'm right. Brother, this is Gu Xiaoting and this is Shi Si."
Yuan Yuan greeted the two girls with a smile, and they also brought a mixed gift fruit basket with red wine, fruit and cigarettes, and cookies. Gu Xiaoting is very cute and small, with a pink hairpin, Shisi is very quiet, pure and white, barely speaking, the two of them sit on the sofa arm in arm.
Yuan Yuan chatted for a few words, afraid of the noisy girl, and said, "I'm going to pay New Year's greetings to my high school classmates." He directly threw the guests to Tan Ruikang and ran in to play.
Tan Ruikang smiled and pulled a small bench over, cut vegetables in front of the coffee table, and said, "We like to have a side stove for the New Year here, and we don't know if it's enough."
Gu Xiaoting said, "It doesn't matter, we all eat very little. Hey Ma Liu, how is your brother's craftsmanship? Do you usually cook at home?"
Tan Ruikang smiled and said, "Yes."
The three of them were chatting outside. Shi Si's voice was very soft and gentle, and said, "Your house is very warm. Let me help you cut vegetables? Is it expensive to buy vegetables today?"
Tan Ruikang and Shi Si were preparing to eat hot pot ingredients outside, and the live shrimp were still bouncing. Gu Xiaoting looked scared and went into the room to sit.
Yuan Yuan was playing games on the computer with a blank face. When she was air, she used Tan Ruikang's account to hang up her grades.
Gu Xiaoting sat down beside the bed and said, "Why don't you go home for the New Year?"
Yuan Yuan said, "Because I have a mole on the bottom of my foot."
Gu Xiaoting: "?"
Distant: "… "
Gu Xiaoting said, "We are because Shi Si doesn't want to go home. I'll stay with her. Have you and Ma Liu been together since childhood?"
Yuan Yuan said: "Well, that's it, why didn't she go back?"
Gu Xiaoting said: "Her parents are married, and her grandmother died before her college entrance examination, so she wants to stay at school for the New Year."
Yuan Yuan stared at the screen and said, "Oh, my family too. My dad went to get married."
Gu Xiaoting snorted and asked Yuan Yuan, "What about you? Are you not going back? Are your parents separated too?"
Gu Xiaoting said, "No, I'll accompany her. I'm afraid it's not safe for her to stay at school alone."
Yuan Yuan said, "What about your parents?"
Gu Xiaoting said, "I told my parents, anyway, I can go back during the summer vacation. I'll borrow your phone from here to make a call later."
Yuan Yuan thought that this guy was quite loyal, and gave her a cell phone, Gu Xiaoting said, "Call again at twelve o'clock, you are having a really bad time at Bubble Hall."
Yuan Yuan: "I only started playing during the winter vacation!"
Gu Xiaoting said, "Did Ma Liu teach you? I taught Ma Liu to play. Shi Si is even more powerful. He can single out four of them. There is no rival in their class. Shi Si is my master."
Yuan Yuan thought that all of you people have become refined, what kind of bubble hall are you playing! Even a quiet and gentle girl is stronger than him. It is estimated that this group of people will be a group of murderous masters when they switch to Legendary PK.
Yuan Yuan wanted to tell her not to look at her, but she was embarrassed by running around with her lousy operation, but Gu Xiaoting stared at her without blinking.
After a while, Gu Xiaoting thought about it, and opened a new topic, saying, "By the way, why are you ignoring your brother."
Yuan Yuan said: "How can I ignore him, he wants to cut the vegetables himself, I will help him cut it later."
Gu Xiaoting said, "I mean some time ago, why did you suddenly ignore your brother in December?"
Yuan Yuan: "Oh, because I have a mole on the bottom of my foot."
Gu Xiaoting: "???"
After hearing this answer twice, Gu Xiaoting couldn't understand the distant brain circuit, so she wondered: "What does the mole on the bottom of your foot have to do with you ignoring your brother?"
Yuan Yuan said while playing in the bubble hall: "By the way, then I will ignore what my brother has to do with you."
Gu Xiaoting: "You..."
Yuan Yuan laughed and Gu Xiaoting said, "Of course it has something to do with it! He was so depressed, he told me."
Distant: "… "
"What did he say to you?" Yuan Yuan frowned and turned his head, finally talking to her.
Gu Xiaoting immediately became nervous and stammered: "He said, Ma Liu is stupid, so he said... 'Why doesn't my brother want me anymore, he doesn't want me anymore, did he fall in love, don't want me anymore' , and then I was so depressed that I was lethargic every day, and I didn’t want to eat, so I kept sighing.”
Distant: "… "
Gu Xiaoting: "I wanted him to come and see you, thinking that you might be making a girlfriend, but I told you that I asked you to come out to play on Christmas Eve, but you didn't answer your text messages and didn't answer your phone calls. He thought about it, actually Just run away! You can't do anything wrong."
Far away crying and laughing.
Gu Xiaoting asked again: "You ignored him before, are you in love? You are too much, how can you treat your brother like this, throwing people away when you fall in love, it's also a lighthearted look at you. Friend's…”
Yuan Yuan smiled sadly, and said, "I didn't fall in love. I just got addicted to playing games and hung up a few doors."
Gu Xiaoting's eyes lit up, and she said, "You still fail the class! Your brother always praises you so much that you are too smart to die, so you still fail the class."
Yuan Yuan Zhan Mao said, "Because I have a mole on my foot, okay?!"
Gu Xiaoting: "..."
Gu Xiaoting babbled next to her again, her head was going to explode from the noise, and finally she had to say, "Are you eating? Chocolate or not?"
"Yeah! Meisi's wine chocolate!" Gu Xiaoting said: "You guys are so extravagant! I don't eat wine hearts because of you, do you put these wine hearts to feed the dog?"
"My brother can eat." Yuan Yuan said: "I don't eat alcohol."
Gu Xiaoting: "Ma Liu has been used as a trash can for you. I just wanted to say, how much is the rent for this house? Your brother doesn't seem to be so rich, and usually he is a tutor..."
Yuan Yuan was about to cry and said, "You can eat as much as you want. Don't talk while eating, it's easy to squirt out."
Gu Xiaoting: "I won't! I never spray when I eat, it's not like we are alone in the dormitory..."
Distant: "… "
Going out to the living room, Gu Xiaoting said less.
"I'll do it." Yuan Yuan took the knife and said, "I'll make the fish fillets to eat."
Tan Ruikang watched, as far as magic, he rolled up the crispy carp fish fillet, the slices rippled, and threw it into the ice water, and the fish immediately rolled into a flower.
Tan Ruikang: "Wow, chef!"
"The chef is here." Shi Si smiled.
Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "I learned it from my dad, and also, don't put the shrimp head into the bamboo skewer for this shrimp, it will be easier to peel later."
New Year's Eve is here, and it's dark outside. Although Guangzhou has firecracker control, every year, we can always hear firecrackers being set off in the distance. The hot pot on the induction cooker is steaming. .
"The Spring Festival Gala is getting more and more shocking." Yuan Yuan said: "There is no worst, only worse."
"That's right." Gu Xiaoting said, "I thought it was pretty good looking when I was a kid, but now it's all rotten to death, this year's worst..."
"There is no worst, only worse." Yuan Yuan said: "Next year's Spring Festival Gala will always be worse than this year... Oh, the mother of the country came out to sing."
When Song Zuying appeared, several people were stunned for a while, and then burst into laughter. Tan Ruikang drank some red wine, blushed, and said with a smile, "Yes, I'll just say my brother is funny."
Yuan Yuan, while peeling shrimp for Tan Ruikang, joked with the two girls about the Spring Festival Gala. He has always been eccentric and can often bring out a lot of laughter about ordinary things, causing several people to laugh all night while watching the show.
At eleven o'clock, the finale of the show was over, and the sound of firecrackers was getting louder and louder outside. Tan Ruikang cleaned the table and washed the dishes. Gu Xiaoting entered the room, made a phone call inside, and stared at the phone in a daze.
Shi Si said, "Do you want to call home?"
Yuan Yuan snorted and asked her, "Have you played? My dad and my stepmother are spending the Spring Festival together, maybe the old man from that family is also there."
Shi Si smiled softly and said, "I called before I came to dinner. You can fight. Your father must really want to hear your voice."
Yuan Yuan was silent for a moment, and suddenly found Shi Si so quiet, a little curious, how did she come here all these years? Although she is not talkative, she is also very temperamental. She speaks more carefully than Gu Xiaoting, and it is just right. She is very empathetic. He asked: "Do you like my brother? You don't have to answer if you don't want to say it."
Shi Si: "… "
Shi Si laughed and said nothing.
Yuan Yuan sighed and wrote a text message: Dad, Happy New Year, after thinking for a while, I deleted it, pressed a line of numbers, and made up my mind, and pressed the call button.
However, the dial screen did not display: "Dad"'s name.
distant:"?"
He suspected that he had dialed the wrong number, and dug out the phone book. Tan Ruikang was washing apples and said, "Brother, my uncle's phone number has changed. I'll change the phone book for you."
Yuan Yuan's heart thumped, put down the phone, and said, "I'll go downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes."
Tan Ruikang: "I'll go."
"Stop smoking! What's there to smoke!" Gu Xiaoting shouted as soon as she came out: "Smoking affects your health. If there are girls around, you still need people to smoke second-hand smoke..."
Yuan Yuan stood at the door, Tan Ruikang held the door with one hand, blocked his way, and looked at him seriously.
Yuan Yuan looked up at Tan Ruikang, and suddenly remembered that when he first met when he was a child, Tan Ruikang looked at his monkey appearance on the wall outside the yard.
Tan Ruikang smiled.
Gu Xiaoting: "What are you all looking at?"
Yuan Yuan was helpless, and went back to the sofa to continue watching TV absentmindedly. He sat by the coffee table and waited for the countdown to the party. Tan Ruikang was sitting, Yuan Yuan was a little sleepy.
Yuan Yuan stretched out his hand and dangled, but he couldn't touch the fruit plate by ten centimeters. He said, "Hey, little hen, help me get a banana."
Gu Xiaoting was stunned, then realized that she was talking about her, and immediately said, "Don't give me nicknames!"
Several people laughed wildly, Shi Si took a banana to Yuanyuan, and said with a smile, "Tan Ruikang is right, you two are so cute, it's a natural couple."
Yuan Yuan took a mouthful of bananas, which were not sweet, and put them on Tan Ruikang, who was on top of his head, and Tan Ruikang ate them all.
Yuan Yuan tasted another orange, which was too sour, and stuffed it for Tan Ruikang, who ate it again.
Gu Xiaoting said, "Hey, why are you so picky about what you eat?"
Yuan Yuan said lazily, "Because I have a mole on my foot."
"?"
Tan Ruikang and Shi Si didn't know the allusion of this mole, and laughed again after explaining it.
Shi Si said, "It's great to have a brother. I've wanted to have a brother since I was a child. Xiaoting, didn't you want to talk about that last time? I'm sorry to tell others?"
"Oh." Gu Xiaoting's face turned a little red.
Yuan Yuan was startled in his heart, shouldn't he confess, he always felt that Shi Si didn't seem to like Tan Ruikang's performance either.
Tan Ruikang was also uncomfortable and said, "What's the matter? This... too... let's not talk about serious things. I'll discuss it with Xiaoyuan someday..."
Gu Xiaoting faltered for a long time, the distant secret path was bad, does she want to confess
Shi Si smiled and said, "Tan Ruikang, Xiao Ting wants to recognize you as her brother, didn't you say you were afraid your brother would be jealous last time?"
Distant: "… "
Tan Ruikang: "..."
Tan Ruikang and Yuan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, each thinking that it was okay, Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter."
He really thinks it doesn't matter, he is not afraid of being a brother or sister, and there is no blood on others. He also knows that Tan Ruikang will only play and play, and at most take care of it. Usually Tan Ruikang never mentioned these two girls in front of him, so he certainly didn't take them too seriously.
If you like someone, you will definitely always think about the other person. This kind of "thinking" behavior is often manifested unconsciously. Tan Ruikang Bubble Hall learned from Gu Xiaoting and the others. Just don't care.
Judging from this, Yuan Yuan also knew that he had a very heavy weight in Tan Ruikang's heart, because Tan Ruikang would always mention him subconsciously in front of others.
Gu Xiaoting laughed and said, "Okay, then you are my brother, Ma Liu..."
Yuan Yuan said: "I'm his brother, so I'm also your brother. In the future, you will buy food, buy water, Shanda card, QQ show, and sister. I'll leave it to you."
Gu Xiaoting: "..."
Gu Xiaoting had a miserable expression on her face. She didn't realize that this title eliminated more possibilities for the follow-up. The countdown to the Spring Festival began, and zero o'clock came.
Zhu Jun's voice: "I wish our motherland good weather, prosperity and prosperity for the country and the people..."
The four of them paused the noisy topic and followed the countdown. 2002 passed and spring came.
"Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year—" Tan Ruikang smiled and got up and went into the room, took out three red envelopes, one for each person.
"And red envelopes!" Gu Xiaoting screamed.
"Wow, thank you, thank you." Shi Si smiled.
Yuan Yuan pursed the corners of his mouth, feeling that Tan Ruikang was a big parent, and he was unspeakably happy. He opened the red envelope and looked at it, and he shouted.
Two thirty grand Bubble Hall point cards! ! Can buy colorful bubbles and turtles! !
This is more handsome than anything! Yuan Yuan said: "Gong Xi Fa Cai Gong Xi Fa Cai!"
Tan Ruikang continued to watch TV with a smile. The finale program was over, and the two girls were going back to school. Tan Ruikang said, "It's too late to be safe. Sleep in there. I'll pack up the bed and go to the flower market after I get up tomorrow."
Yuan Yuan went to pack the bed inside and let them sleep, and came out with another quilt to make a floor.
Tan Ruikang sat smoking and looked into the distance.
Yuan Yuan took the mobile phone and was stunned for a while, and finally got through to Zhao Guogang's mobile phone.
After waiting for a long time, no one answered the phone, I glanced at the clock in the distance, it was only 12:30, and I went to sleep
"Happy New Year." Shu Yan's voice sounded.
I want to hang up the phone when I hear it in the distance.
"My dad, happy Spring Festival." Yuan Yuan said.
Shu Yan said, "He's taking a shower. You have a girlfriend? Your brother said last time that you were in a relationship with a girl. Is everything going well?"
Yuan Yuan said, "I didn't fall in love because I have a mole on the bottom of my foot."
Shu Yan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Is this necessarily related?"
Yuan Yuan said: "Yes, then what does it have to do with you if I'm in a relationship or not? When he's done washing, you tell him that I've called, that's all. I wish him a happy Spring Festival."
Tan Ruikang frowned slightly, like a serious monkey.
Yuan Yuan said, "I'm going to take a bath." As he went into the room to get his clothes, Shi Si and Gu Xiaoting were chatting while covered with a quilt. They were startled, and then laughed.
"I forgot to knock, sorry." Yuan Yuan exited and knocked on the door twice, and they started laughing again.
Yuan Yuan's mood was very complicated, so he stopped joking with them, and lowered his head to take his and Tan Ruikang's underwear.
"Do you usually cover a quilt?" Shi Si asked with a smile, "It's a good feeling."
"Yeah, but don't mix underwear." Yuan Yuan said, "Sleeping together is because my brother is warm, and I have been cold since I was a child."
Gu Xiaoting asked, "Do you kiss him or not?"
Saying that, he kissed Shi Si's face for the demonstration, Shi Si smiled and said, "Don't make trouble."
Yuan Yuan said: "He is most afraid of this, saying that I am numb... I will take a bath, and I will not come in again. You can eat snacks as you like, and you can also use the computer to surf the Internet, play whatever you want, good night."
Far away came out, Tan Ruikang was answering the phone, it was Zhao Guogang who called back.
Tan Ruikang said: "I'm going out for a walk on the first day of the new year, with my classmates..."
Tan Ruikang looked up at Yuan Yuan and wanted to give him the phone, Yuan Yuan shook his head and went to take a shower.
Tan Ruikang continued: "Okay, don't go to places with many people, let's go to the mountains. How is the situation in Shenzhen now? No? Really? Zhongshan... That's okay, um, I also think it's false, then we Are you going back? Okay, okay… Be sure to pay attention.”
Both of them took a shower, removed the coffee table, sat on the floor, and brushed each other's hair.
Tan Ruikang said: "Xiaoyuan, can you contact Jiji? My uncle is also talking about that kind of flu. You ask him what news is in Hong Kong. I don't know how the situation is."
Yuan Yuan said, "I'll find him tomorrow."
He hugged Tan Ruikang in the dark and fell asleep comfortably.
On February 2, all newspapers in Guangzhou published a call for prevention and treatment of the high incidence of influenza in spring.
After looking at it for a long time, it was confirmed that it should be the flu. Zhao Guogang didn't say anything, just reminded them not to go to crowded places.
"Are you going to get a flu shot?" Tan Ruikang asked.
Yuan Yuan's face turned pale, and Tan Ruikang had to give up. A few days later, Yuan Yuan finally contacted Qi Huiyu. Qi Huiyu's news was that Hong Kong reported that there was an unknown epidemic virus in Zhongshan, and Yuan Yuan showed him the headlines of major websites and asked him where he was.
Qi Huiyu: [I am in Shandong, and my mother and my grandmother are celebrating the New Year together. You must be careful. Come to my house. It is near the sea and the virus infection may be relatively small.] Far away: [You have played too much Resident Evil! Just the flu.]
Qi Huiyu: [Cut, let's play with the legend?]
Yuan Yuan: [I have no time to play, I failed five subjects, and I have to review and prepare for make-up exams during the winter vacation. ] Qi Huiyu: [You are too fierce! How to hang so much?]
Yuan Yuan wanted to say something else, but Qi Huiyu's avatar was grayed out. He should be taking care of his grandmother. I had to continue to repeat the cycle of reading books - Bubble Hall - reading books - Bubble Hall every day.
On February 8, Tan Ruikang went to a tutor and came back early, saying, "Xiaoyuan, why are the supermarkets rushing to buy things outside?"
Yuan Yuan is still looking at his high numbers, thinking that he will be put out by the students again. Fortunately, he didn’t play secretly. He hasn’t gone out for a few days and said, “What?”
Tan Ruikang took a look at the window, the phone rang again, Yuan Yuan picked it up for him, and it was Gu Xiaoting.
"Ma Liu! Are you there?"
"It's me." Yuan Yuan said, "Why? Be quieter."
Gu Xiaoting cried and said, "Do you know that disease? They all say it can't be cured! As long as it is infected, it will vomit blood and die within a few days!"
Distant: "… "
Yuan Yuan handed the phone to Tan Ruikang, and heard the other side say, "Brother-I want to go home."
"What's the matter?" Yuan Yuan got up and looked out the window, everyone outside was wearing masks.
Tan Ruikang said: "Don't be afraid, pack your luggage. I'll take you to the car and go home. Where's Shi Si? Let's go back with you."
Yuan Yuan changed his clothes and wanted to go out with Tan Ruikang. Tan Ruikang said, "You stay at home and I'll take them to the train station."
Yuan Yuan said: "If you were infected, wouldn't we be recruited together when you brought it back? Whether it is or not, if it is as serious as they say, no one can escape, so what is there to worry about?"
Tan Ruikang had to say: "Okay, wear a mask, don't stay too far from me."
The two took the subway to go to Huagong. The people sitting in the subway all wore masks. Under the dim light, the eyes of strangers were tense and full of vigilance.
Yuan Yuan couldn't help feeling a little scared, and there seemed to be a high pressure in the air.
They carried their luggage and took Gu Xiaoting and Shi Si to the train station. The crowd was full of people. This was the reverse peak of the Spring Festival travel season. Many people were busy and rushed to the station entrance.
Gu Xiaoting said in the mask, "Aren't you going?"
Yuan Yuan said: "My home is in Guangdong, where can I go?"
Shi Si said worriedly: "I hope it won't be true, I have received a lot of text messages..."
Tan Ruikang bought a ticket and came over, buzzing: "Let's go! There are 20 minutes to drive, go to the station!"
Gu Xiaoting said: "Brothers, bless me to come back alive."
Yuan Yuan Zhan Mao said: "You want to bless me and see me alive when you come back, right?"
The two girls entered the platform, Tan Ruikang and Yuan Yuan stood on the edge of the square, Yuan Yuan said, "I always feel something is not right..."
Tan Ruikang was about to say something when the nearby crowd moved in an instant and retreated like a tidal wave, as if something had exploded a bomb in an instant.
"Someone coughed up blood!"
"Someone is dead!"
Tan Ruikang and Yuan Yuan were both stunned and dumbfounded. The crowd kept pushing and shoving away from an open space on the edge of the square. There were also people who didn't know the truth screaming loudly. For a while, it was extremely chaotic. Tan Ruikang stopped people and staggered to protect Yuan Yuan. After staying and retreating, the whole train station square was fried. The police came to maintain order wearing masks, and said loudly: "Don't push! Don't panic!"
The crowd became more and more chaotic. Tan Ruikang hugged Yuanyao and ran out of the road before putting him down.
"Be careful!" Yuan Yuan dragged him back to the sidewalk, and the two were almost hit by a car again.
"Someone coughed up blood! It's an infectious disease!"
As soon as the rumors spread, Yuan Yuan asked the person running out of the square, "What's going on? Really? What happened?"
Several people calmed down and talked to each other, saying that someone was vomiting blood outside the entrance, saying that they had nose and eyes, how could they kneel down and fell to the ground, shaking all over.
Yuan Yuan still wanted to go over to see if there were bloodstains to confirm whether it was real, but Tan Ruikang said, "Don't go there, go home immediately, go now, go!"
After returning home far away, Tan Ruikang went down to buy vegetables again, and came back and said, "Nothing happened in your school, and no one came back to class."
Yuan Yuan said: "I'm afraid that even closing the market will cause trouble."
February 10.
People started to panic buying things everywhere. The rumors could no longer be suppressed. Newspapers began to talk about the problem of people going to the hospital. It is said that only a few dozen people were sick, and most of them were sent to the hospital for treatment. The Guangdong Provincial Health Bureau is holding a meeting to let citizens take precautions.
Disinfectant was sprayed outside, and dozens of text messages were received from far away, all from students from other provinces asking how the infectious disease in Guangdong was.
Qi Huiyu sent a text message again, saying: [It is said that this is a severe infectious disease called atypical pneumonia. You should leave Guangdong quickly and stop staying at school!]I have to make up exams far away, and my home is in Guangdong. How can I leave
Tan Ruikang helped him to register online, and the make-up exam was as usual without any impact.
Far away has been a little confusing, what the hell is going on? He didn't see anyone coughing up blood, it was all news, news, endless news, news alone could make everyone panic.
Tan Ruikang signed up and paid for it. He went to his school once. When he came back, he brought a thermometer and said, "Your counselor is back. He said that the make-up exam is as usual. I don't know anything else. I will wait for the school's notice."
Yuan Yuan said, "Is there such a thing?"
Tan Ruikang said: "He didn't know either. The superior didn't inform us. He asked us to take our body temperature once a day. He said that we can also do vinegar evaporation, eat Banlangen or something, and go to the hospital immediately if you have a fever."
Yuan Yuan and Tan Ruikang went down to buy vinegar, but Tan Ruikang insisted: "Don't go down, just say I'll go!"
"I'm not at ease!" Yuan Yuan said angrily, "Every time you go out, you make me nervous! I can't stop reading! What will I do if you die!"
Tan Ruikang was silent for a moment, without saying anything, he took Yuanya with him, locked the door and went shopping.
The supermarket downstairs was closed, and they only went to the city to buy things. The Walmart was full of people who came to buy things. This panic has spread to the whole city. Some people are fighting for two bottles of vinegar.
Yuan Yuan and Tan Ruikang wore masks, looked at these people inexplicably, and said, "Is vinegar ok?"
Tan Ruikang said in the mask: "I don't know, mature vinegar is more fragrant than white vinegar, try it."
Yuan Yuan said: "Actually, I'm not very afraid of the end of the world. I'm not afraid when I'm with you."
Tan Ruikang said: "I'm not afraid, but it's always good to live a little longer. You still have to make up the exam."
Yuan Yuan Zhan Mao said: "Can you not mention make-up exams at this time?!"
Tan Ruikang narrowed his eyes again and smiled in his mask.
There were quick hands grabbing rice and oil everywhere, only the two of them were pushing the cart and walking slowly and leisurely.
"This kind of UFO fried noodles is delicious." Yuan Yuan said.
"Buy more if it's delicious." Tan Ruikang threw a lot in, and said from a distance, "You still need money for things!"
Tan Ruikang narrowed his eyes again and shook his head very cutely. After the two finished shopping, they shared an ice cream downstairs in the community and then walked back slowly.
After returning home, the first thing Yuan Yuan did was to take apart a large row of Shufujia soaps to take a bath. Tan Ruikang sprayed disinfectant everywhere in the house, and after each bath, Yuan Yuan started to boil vinegar with a newly bought electric kettle.
Everyone else's house cooks white vinegar, only Yuan Yuan's house cooks aged vinegar. Years later, Yuan Yuan can't help but think of this classic moment, which is both helpless and funny.
"Add some Banlangen." Tan Ruikang commanded again, and the two of them put the lid on.
February 11:
Tan Ruikang turned on the computer, looked at the favorite webpage, was silent for a while, and said, "Brother."
Yuan Yuan said, "What?"
Tan Ruikang: "On the Internet, one patient was diagnosed in Shenzhen, and there were more than 100 cases of atypical pneumonia in Guangzhou."
Yuan Yuan: "Are they all dead?"
Tan Ruikang: "I didn't say that people with this disease will cough, have a fever, cough up blood, and die when they are seriously ill."
Yuan Yuan said: "How many died in total?"
Tan Ruikang said: "I didn't say..."
Yuan Yuan was silent for a while, and said, "When will that woman give birth to a child? Do you know?"
Tan Ruikang said: "The last time my uncle said the due date was March."
Yuan Yuan: "Is the hospital easily contagious?"
Tan Ruikang didn't speak. After a while, he replied, "Brother, Zhang Zhen said that the patient died and all the doctors were infected. In the People's Hospital, right across from his community, all the people near his house have run away."
"He and his wife were waiting for the bus at the Internet cafe outside Shaoguan Railway Station to go to his wife's house."
Yuan Yuan: "The doctor was also infected?"
Tan Ruikang's voice was also a little trembling. He said, "I'll... take a look again, don't be nervous. I don't even know who to trust now."
Yuan Yuan stood by the window for a while, the community outside was empty, and the spring sun was shining brightly.
He held the phone in silence for a long time, maybe ten minutes, maybe twenty minutes.
Tan Ruikang didn't know when he came behind him, wrapped his left hand around his waist and hugged him. With his right hand, he pulled out the cell phone in Yuan Yuan's hand, pressed the dial button, and put the phone to Yuan Yuan's ear.
Zhao Guogang's cell phone was turned off.
"Do you have his phone number?" Yuan Yuan said.
"Yes." Tan Ruikang hugged Yuan Yuan from behind, and the two stood in front of the window. Tan Ruikang buried his head on his shoulder, flipped through the phone number, and said, "Look, this is it."
Yuan Yuan took the phone, turned around and hugged Tan Ruikang, leaning on his shoulder.
Shu Yan answered the phone.
Far away: "Is my dad here?"
Shu Yan said, "Xiaoyuan? I don't know him. I told him to leave in the morning, but I haven't come back yet. I put my mobile phone at home to charge and it is not turned on."
Yuan Yuan hung up the phone and tried to dial another number. A word flashed on the screen: "Home".
Tan Ruikang's eyebrows moved, and the phone got through.
Zhao Guogang: "Baby, are you still angry with your father?"
After a long silence, Zhao Guogang said, "Baby, talk."
Yuan Yuan whispered: "How do you know it's me. No one is at home, your phone is turned off..."
Zhao Guogang: "So you know that Dad is at home, and Dad also knows that it's only you who is calling now. What's going on with you."
Yuan Yuan said, "I was infected."
After a long silence on the other end of the phone, Zhao Guogang said, "Which hospital are you in? Come here now."
Distant: "… "
Zhao Guogang said, "You don't have a hoarse voice, but are you trying to scare me?"
Yuan Yuan laughed, and Tan Ruikang said, "Uncle, we are all fine, we are fine now."
Zhao Guogang sighed and said, "It's fine. Don't go back to Shenzhen. It is said that the condition is very serious. Have you watched the press conference? SARS is spread through breathing."
Yuan Yuan leaned on Tan Ruikang and said to Zhao Guogang on the phone, "What are you doing alone in an empty house?"
Zhao Guogang smiled and said, "Who said I was alone? Isn't your mother at home? Come back to accompany your mother."
Yuan Yuan said, "Mom has moved to my house to live in Guangzhou."
Zhao Guogang didn't speak, and after a while he said: "Come back and look at the photos of your mother and you. You can't take them with you. When you go home, don't take them all. Leave a few for your father. How is your study? Ruikang said you Got a girlfriend."
Yuan Yuan said: "Nothing, I recognized a sister, failed a few subjects, and I'm preparing for make-up exams."
Zhao Guogang said: "Let's play games, if no one is in charge, it won't work."
Yuan Yuan said: "I can pass the test."
The father and son were silent for a long time, and Yuan Yuan said, "Don't go there when she gives birth, the hospital is a little dangerous."
Zhao Guogang was silent, and Yuan Yuan said again: "Forget it, you think I didn't say it, take care of it yourself. I'm hanging up."
Zhao Guogang said: "Send a text message to Dad every day, remember."
Yuan Yuan hummed, handed the phone to Tan Ruikang, and quietly put his arms around his waist. Tan Ruikang's sweater was very warm and comfortable. Yuan Yuan wanted to bury himself in his heart and find a place to hide.
Tan Ruikang said a few good words, he must pay attention, he would not go out, hung up the phone, and said blankly, "Still rubbing?"
Yuan Yuan put down a big stone in his heart, and fell on the sofa, looking at the ceiling.
Tan Ruikang peeled apples for him and said, "Uncle often goes back. On Saturdays and Sundays, he will also stay for a long time when you are not at home."
"Before the winter vacation, he went back and cleaned the house with his own hands, took out the quilt to dry, and then bought us a new mobile phone when you got home."
Yuan Yuan said: "Why don't you say it."
Tan Ruikang said: "He didn't let me say, he said whatever you want. If you don't want to go back, you can stay in Guangzhou to review. He also said that if you are not used to living in the dormitory and you are afraid of noise... just come out and rent a house."
Yuan Yuan was silent for a long time, and then said: "Let's go home now."
Tan Ruikang said: "No! In the final analysis, absolutely no, Shenzhen is the hardest hit area."
"Guangzhou is almost the same." Yuan Yuan said with a long breath.
Tan Ruikang said: "Guangzhou is now said to be under control, don't be afraid. Come, eat apples and go to study."
Distant: "… "
"It's all like this!" Yuan Yuan said frantically: "Still learning?!"
Tan Ruikang smiled at him and said, "Do you have any regrets? If you have any regrets, hurry up and do it."
Yuan Yuan thought about it for a while, and he really had no regrets. He couldn't go back. Zhao Guogang was going to accompany the pregnant woman. What he didn't do was to add to the drama, crying and crying. With Tan Ruikang, he had no regrets when he died.
"No." Yuan Yuan said, "No."
Tan Ruikang: "Then what should you do, learn advanced mathematics."
