Li Chen sat in a temporary sentry box at the entrance of the village, baking an electric heater and writing a work diary.
The colder the weather, the harder it is to use his right hand, but he still warms up for a while, writes for a while, and writes down all the ideas in his mind.
Originally, he had submitted an application, but he could not continue to work because of his illness. He would not come back when he returned to the south for the new year.
Li Chen was reluctant to leave the black land where he had fought.
But he can''t help it. After all, there are four distinct seasons here. As soon as the weather is cold, the activities of his right hand are limited. This is pure physical reason, can only leave.
And Dr. Wu Mian also said that there is no rule of law for the time being, and even the effect of surgery is not ideal.
Li Chen is still optimistic. Although his life is affected, he still has to live.
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, he said goodbye to the villagers and left banhudong village.
However, as soon as he returned to his hometown, he saw the news that an epidemic broke out in Tianhe City and began to close the city.
Li Chen is very sensitive about the closure of the city.
Since the founding of the people''s Republic of China, this should be a landmark event. He didn''t know how much trouble Tianhe was in. After seeing the news, his first thought was banhudong village.
After all, it''s the village head. After leaving the village, the new village head can''t be transferred to work until years later.
The transfer of new village leaders should be familiar with the situation and build trust, which can not be achieved overnight.
Even if there is an old party secretary, Li Chen does a lot of work alone, which is difficult for others to take over in a short time.
If it''s a normal year, it''s okay to take your time. But now Tianhe City is closed, what about the whole country? He felt a little uneasy. He was really worried about going to the countryside.
After saying goodbye to his parents and contacting Deng Ming, Li Chen returns to banhudong village.
After coming back, Li Chen was very glad that things developed much faster than he imagined. Fortunately, I''m back. Otherwise, who will take care of the affairs in the village!
In such a remote village, it takes a long time to accumulate trust if the villagers want to be obedient.
Under the call of Li Chen, the whole village was surrounded by barbed wire in only two days, leaving only one road, and a sentry box was built at the exit to organize patrols.
People in the village don''t go out, and people outside the village don''t want to come in. There is an old party secretary patrolling inside, and Li Chen is responsible for the sentry box and purchasing work.
Sometimes Li Chen felt that he had gone too far, but soon there were all kinds of pictures of hard core anti epidemic on the Internet.
As for digging a circuit breaker, Li Chen did not dare to think of such a measure.
Li Chen was reluctant to cut off the newly repaired road.
The fruit trees on the mountain will bear fruit next year and are waiting for this road to be transported out to sell money. If you want to be rich, build roads first. This has been a tested fact.
Li Chen leads a big wolf dog in the village to inspect barbed wire and roadblocks every day. The smell of war mobilization is becoming more and more obvious.
The emperor held a meeting this morning, the information was released at noon, and it came to Li Chen in the afternoon.
Li Chen was not surprised by the fact that he could not think of such a thing in the past. As the village head, he has been used to it for half a year. He also has two mobile phones to receive information, locate and swipe cards anytime and anywhere.
In the new era, new requirements and new methods, Li Chen accepts new things very quickly.
But this time
A command that is not spontaneous and has no clear instructions. What Li Chen received was a general mobilization instruction that did not indicate general mobilization.
All over the country, suddenly press the pause button.
All fever patients must be strictly screened, gathering and cutting off all transmission routes are prohibited, and the grass-roots level should earnestly implement and control them.
These Li Chen have actually been put in place.
Since the discovery of patients infected with pneumonia in the provincial capital on the 30th of the lunar new year, after Li Chen inquired about the exact situation, he began to isolate.
This disease is very evil. It was infected after stopping in Tianhe and going to the bathroom at the airport!
Li Chen didn''t understand what it was, so he had to close the homes of several migrant workers and people returning home for the new year. Anyway, every family in the countryside has a cellar. There are a lot of grain and vegetables stored in the cellar, and they are not afraid of not eating.
As the village head, he personally accompanied the old Party branch secretary to work door to door. He was really busy for a long time.
It took a lot of effort to completely close a village. Now the whole country has to press the pause button... Li Chen feels that this winter is particularly cold.
His right hand was warm on the electric heater, and his left hand recorded what he had to do recently. Li Chen saw a shadow flash in the corner of his eye.
"Who!"
Li Chen roared, grabbed his army coat and ran out.
"Come to visit relatives," said a middle-aged woman.
"Which village?"
The "backer" woman looked at Li Chen suspiciously.
It has long been said that banhudong village did a lot of things during the Chinese New Year. Unexpectedly, the barbed wire was pulled up.
The woman is a little confused. She doesn''t know what happened.
"Our village is closed, you go back quickly." Li Chen put on a mask, retracted his right hand into his coat and said to the woman.
"It''s true that relatives don''t have five blessings." the woman smiled. "You''re the village head. You look so handsome. I''ll introduce you to someone."
Li Chen directly ignored these words of the introduction object. He stared at the woman who came to visit relatives and said, "don''t you see pulling the barbed wire fence? Why break in and go back quickly."
"Why are you so fierce?" said the woman contemptuously. "Just go to a relative and don''t let him."
"No." Li Chen said firmly. He drove away countless relatives these days. It''s really no different.
His right hand took it out of the army coat, put it in his mouth and whistled.
A big black wolf dog poked his head out of the sentry box and startled the woman.
Li Chen grabbed the iron chain on the wolf dog with his left hand. The noise was very frightening.
"Have you heard of the recent infectious diseases?" Li Chen asked.
"Yes, the host said at the Spring Festival Gala."
"That''s a terrible disease! If it is infected, people in every village will have to die out," Li Chen said.
Grassroots work pays attention to a simple, rough and direct. The more reasonable, the more unreasonable. Just tell the villagers what to do.
Whether people listen or not depends on whether the village head has this authority.
"It''s scary?" the woman said suspiciously. "No wonder I see our village digging ditches."
"Of course." Li Chen said, "I have classmates in the provincial capital. Listen to them. Go back quickly and have a good new year. It''s better to live. There are people who come back from working in the south in our village. If you infect you, you will infect your family again. It''s too late for you to cry."
Li Chen led the wolf dog and patiently reasoned with the woman.
Finally, the woman walked away bitterly. Li Chen felt that scaring her had a certain effect, but it was not as good as the big wolf dog.
It''s all right. Suddenly stop. No one can stand it. I hope the epidemic will pass soon. Li Chen touched the head of the big wolf dog and thought of it in his heart.
