Chapter 723: The Time of Isolation (Part 2)
On the old radio in the West District, after Hou Weidong made a mobilization speech, he and Duan Chuanlin walked towards the music department office. The two of them walked in the isolation area as if they were walking normally.
Standing by the window, at the door, the terrified faculty and students on the roadside saw the expressions of Principal Duan and Mayor Hou, they were also infected. The Secretary of the Party Branch of the Music Department took the initiative to follow them and walked towards the office.
Duan Hengshan had just sat in the office and received a call from Guo Lan, saying, "You have a patient at home, so there is no need to come to work."
Guo Lan insisted: "Although I am studying for a graduate degree in full-time, I am still the Organization Minister of Shazhou University. I ask to return to my post."
Duan Hengshan said: "Then come here, we will discuss work in the music department office."
Hou Weidong was talking to the Party Secretary of the Music Department Party Branch and did not notice Duan Hengshan's call. When Guo Lan appeared in the Music Department office, he was startled and then reacted: "Guo Lan is the Organization Minister of Shazhou University, and should be in this place at this time."
Several people held a small meeting and quickly made the following decision:
1. Establish a temporary party branch in the West District, with Hou Weidong as the temporary party branch secretary, responsible for the overall work of the isolation area.
2. Organize student party members and student backbones to establish an emergency leadership group, Duan Hengshan as the group leader, Guo Lan as the deputy group leader, and the secretary of the music department general branch serves as the office director, with a diet group, an emergency group, a publicity group, and a health group to handle all specific affairs during the quarantine period. Arrange students' lives and do a good job in students' ideological work.
The party branch and the emergency leadership group have a more specific division of labor. As the head of the temporary party branch, Hou Weidong mainly contacted the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, coordinated with relevant units and directed the Yiyang County Party Committee and County Government to provide strong support to the isolation area.
As the head of the emergency team, Principal Duan Hengshan did his internal work well, coordinated the school party committee and party organizations at all levels to take various measures outside the apartment to stabilize the situation and cooperate, which alleviated the students' panic and irritability.
After the division of labor was over, Guo Lan came to the radio room and informed the responsibilities of the temporary party branch and emergency team to the isolation area. She read the ritual letter drafted by Duan Chuanlin himself.
There are more than 1,000 students in the quarantine area, as well as 500 faculty and staff and their families. Usually these students and faculty have deep prejudices towards the school authorities, and they have no good feelings towards the government. They have a sarcasm and are even less likely to be sarcastic. There are even two people missing. At this time, it was the most critical moment. When I heard the advocacy letter from the temporary party branch coming from the radio, I suddenly felt that I had found my backbone.
Guo Lan finished reading the rituals, and after the melodious songs rang out, the isolation area gradually calmed down.
Outside the quarantine area, county party secretary Cai Heng, Gao Ning and others were anxious. First, because there were several suspected cases of high fevers at the same time at Shazhou University, which added huge pressure to the Yiyang County Party Committee and County Government. Second, deputy mayor Hou Weigong stayed at Shazhou University by chance. If something happened to Hou Weidong in Yiyang, the two local officials were really unreasonable.
After receiving a call from Zhu Minsheng, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Hou Weidong reported optimistically: "Secretary Zhu, the emotions of teachers and students in the quarantine area are stable now. I will spend the 14-day isolation area with teachers and students. I hope those suspected patients will not be excluded."
Zhu Minsheng never expected Hou Weidong to be trapped in the quarantine area, but this bad thing also turned into a good thing. Hou Weidong was in charge of the quarantine area, and the quarantine area should be stable and safe. He encouraged: "Weidong. You must keep your mobile phone open for 24 hours. I have given Cai Heng a death order. You must always wait for your command and give the most full guarantee in terms of people, money, materials, and medical care."
County Party Secretary Cai Heng could not call Hou Weidong. He called several times in a row before he answered Hou Weidong's phone number and said: "Mayor Hou, according to your requirements, all the lunch boxes are ready, and some books, magazines and newspapers will be delivered in immediately. What are your requirements?"
Hou Weidong confessed: "Secretary Cai, I am trapped in the college and share the joys and sorrows with teachers and students. You must now concentrate on grasping several lines of defense and resolutely control your *."
Just after the call with Cai Heng, Xiaojia called again. She cried and said, "Husband, you are just staying in the house. The situation in the isolation area is complicated. Don't show off. I would rather you not be an official than letting you live well."
Listening to Xiaojia's crying voice, Hou Weidong comforted him: "There are more than 1,500 people in the isolation area. At present, except for a few suspected cases, no one else has a fever. I guess those people are just in the common influenza and happened to have a *, so everyone is nervous."
Xiaojia cried on the phone and said, "I have already gotten off the highway intersection and will come to school after a while. I beg you, don't show off, stay at home alone."
Hou Weidong was anxious, raised his voice and said, "I told you that you can't play a role when you come to Yi Yang. Instead, I worry. Go back quickly, don't be a childish temper, be more rational."
Seeing that Xiaojia was disobedient, he immediately said, "I have something to do, I'll call you later."
Hou Weidong called Qin Feiyue from the Transportation Bureau and said, "My wife is about to get off the expressway. You ask the people from the checkpoint to block her and don't let her come to Yi Yang. If the couple are infected with *, my little boy will become an orphan, which is absolutely not possible."
Qin Fei understood Hou Weidong and immediately gave a clear instruction to the inspection team, saying: "Mayor Hou is in the quarantine area and does not want his lover to come here too. You must block her back with a tough attitude."
The person who accepted the task was the executive captain of the Transportation Bureau. He was an old man and smiled and said, "Boss Qin, don't worry, pick up the chicken feathers as command arrows. These little bastards are the most familiar with, and there is indeed command arrow this time."
As soon as Xiaojia arrived at the checkpoint, a policeman and a law enforcement officer of the Transportation Bureau came in front of him. The law enforcement officer saluted and said, "After receiving a notice from superiors, no vehicle can enter Yiyangcheng. Please accept the medical staff's examination first, and then go back and forth."
Xiaojia said politely: "Comrade. I am Zhang Xiaojia, deputy director of the Garden Management Bureau, Hou Weidong's lover. I want to go into the city. Can I let it go?"
The traffic law enforcement officer said expressionlessly: "Lenin cannot enter the door without a document, and we dare not violate the regulations. Moreover, we are carrying out Mayor Hou's orders."
Xiaojia called Hou Weidong again, but she had no choice but to call County Mayor Gao Ning. Gao Ning said, "Director Zhang. I told you the truth. Mayor Hou said hello to this matter. I will definitely not let you go into the city. You must also understand Mayor Hou's painstaking efforts. Go home and wait until * is over. I will give you a gift."
She called Hou Weidong again and said, "Hou Weidong, you are so cruel, I hate you."
Hou Weidong was moved by Xiaojia's true feelings and said, "Xiaojia, we have old people above and young people below. At this time, I am already in the quarantine area. Don't come to this dangerous place. After you get home, make it clear to my parents and don't let them worry."
After finally persuading Xiaojia, Hou Weidong breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiaojia drove back to Shazhou. Next to a highway bridge, she pulled over and stopped the car. Through the window, she could see the panoramic view of Yiyang County. She looked at the direction of Shazhou University and prayed secretly: "Honey, don't get sick."
The principal Duan Chuanlin sat aside. After hearing several calls from Hou Weidong, he said, "Zhang Xiaojia is also a graduate of Shazhou College. It is generally difficult to succeed when you fall in love in college. It is really rare to have a deep relationship like you two."
Hou Weidong had close contact with Guo Lan yesterday. When he heard Duan Chuanlin praise him so much, he felt strange. He quickly changed the topic and said, "After eating, these lunch boxes were thrown everywhere. The fourteen-day quarantine period has expired. The entire school cannot become a garbage dump. Maybe it will cause other diseases. We organize some party members and cadres and the backbone of the student union to collect garbage."
Duan Chuanlin said: "I'm afraid the staff is not easy to organize."
"There is a lot of peracetic acid sprayed in the isolation area now, and no fever has been found so far. Wearing a few more layers of masks should not be a big deal. Any students who bravely stand up will be taken care of in the future. Any teachers who bravely stand up will be trained as important backbones."
When the backbones were called to the playground in the west area, they heard Hou Weidong taking the initiative to lead everyone to clean up the garbage. Most of the backbones expressed their willingness to serve everyone, but a few people still refused.
Duan Chuanlin looked at the dozen teachers and comrades who left and said to Guo Lan softly: "Forget it, for all the teachers who left this time, you have to write down your names, don't think about the discounts such as joining the party, promoting, and going abroad in the future." Guo Lan grew up in the college and worked as an organization department for a while, and wrote down the teachers who left. Duan Chuanlin said: "Tonight, you and Mayor Weidong are here to have dinner at my house. This time, the quarantine is also beneficial, which can allow everyone to completely put down their foreign affairs."
The tense and busy day soon ended. On this day, a large number of fully armed sanitary personnel were constantly disinfecting the campus, making the entire western area feel as if soaked in disinfectant. More than a thousand isolated faculty and staff stabilized their emotions and did not continue to have fever symptoms.
A gentle piano music was heard from the radio, passing through the lake in the evening breeze, flying over the campus, drilling into the dormitory building, and echoing in the ears of classmates. Many years have passed, when we talked about the quarantine years in 2003, what impressed us the most was peracetic acid and music floating in the air.
Hou Weidong, Duan Chuanlin and Guo Lan both lived in the professor's building. After one day's work in the quarantine area, dinner was held at Duan Chuanlin's house.
Mrs. Duan’s refrigerator has a rich storage capacity and many wax products. She made six or seven dishes, and the color, fragrance and taste were pretty good. Duan Chuanlin opened a bottle of Maotai and said, “I don’t drink wine normally, so I’ll have a small cup with Mayor Weidong and Guo Lan today.”
Mrs. Duan took the vegetables and brought them to Xiaojia's mother.
"Guo Lan, don't push me. This small glass of wine is also a disinfectant wine. You little girl is very brave today. I am very satisfied with this organization minister because I didn't waste my time."
As the deputy leader of the emergency team, Guo Lan has been doing specific things and arranged the complicated things in an orderly manner. Duan Chuanlin saw it and admired it very much.
Hou Weidong was in a complicated mood at this time. Xiaojia's actions of driving through Yi Yang made him both moved and ashamed. However, when he saw the peaceful, elegant and brave Guo Lan, he couldn't stop and was deeply trapped in it.
