I am the king of hard rice

Chapter 271 An Unexpected Acquaintance

"Hello, residents and friends. On December 2121, 12, I received information from the Haidian District Center for Disease Control and Prevention related to the close contact investigation of the new crown. It was found that there were positive cases and close contacts in our community. According to the district's epidemic prevention and control requirements, the positive cases have been confirmed. Centralized isolation measures have been adopted for cases and close contacts. In order to comprehensively do a good job in the prevention and control of the epidemic in our district and strictly control the risk of the spread of the epidemic, it was decided by the District Central Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters..."

"From now on, the Baoyu community will be under closed management. During the closed management period, only people can enter and leave. Residents are requested to strictly abide by the relevant regulations on epidemic management, isolate themselves at home, stay at home, keep their mobile phones unblocked, and complete each nucleic acid test on time. The unblocking time will be notified separately. Staff members will be arranged in the streets and communities where they are located to be responsible for the procurement and supply of materials for residents..."

Five or six minutes after Li Peifeng and Zhao Qingge went out, Huang Tianxuan and Wu Wenyue in the room also heard the loudspeaker broadcast in the community.

Looking out of the window, in the night in the community, property employees and community workers were wearing white protective clothing, holding big lamas and scattered under the street lights in front of each building, all broadcasting with loudspeakers.

"Residents of Building No. 7 in the community, please go downstairs immediately, and go to the gate of the community for nucleic acid sampling. Residents of Building 1, please go downstairs in half an hour and get ready for testing!"

The loudspeaker was yelled two or three times, and fifty or sixty residents came out of Building No. 7 one after another, all of them wearing masks. There was a lot of discussion, and they converged into a large stream of people, heading to the gate of the community.

"Damn bad luck!"

"Who, which grandson in the community was raped? Has the itinerary been released?"

"It's the residents of Unit 7, No. 2. Didn't you see that we were the first to do the nucleic acid test? I received a text message. You should be able to find it on the district official account."

"How long does this have to be banned? I have to go to work tomorrow."

"At least half a month, what work do you have to do, let's work from home!"

"What about eating? Can I order takeaway? My house is out of rice, and the toilet paper is almost used up."

"What are you thinking? Takeaways are definitely not allowed in, let's wait for the community to post."

The residents of Building No. 7 were walking outside to the entrance of the community, and the people of other Buildings also opened their windows to watch the excitement. Some people were obviously very angry when they suffered such indiscriminate disasters, and some shouted upstairs...

"Those who do nucleic acid downstairs, keep your distance! Do you know that the entire community in your No. [-] building has entered the drug circle? Do you want to cross-infect after walking so close?"

"That's it!"

"Next year, the property fee of the whole community will be covered by Building No. 7!!"

This was banned, and the Baoyu community was rarely lively...

But obviously none of the residents wanted this kind of excitement, and there was a lot of resentment in their hearts, especially those who didn't live in Baoyu Community, but just came here as guests.Because the closure of the community means that they have a home and cannot go back!
It is impossible to go out, and it is a crime to escape from the closed area without permission, waiting to eat corned buns and squatting on the fence.

"Really blocked?"

Huang Tianxuan was in a state of confusion, and she couldn't believe it: "This is blocked? We can't leave, can we?"

Wu Wenyue scratched her head irritably, and pulled Huang Tianxuan's upper body back from the window: "What do you think?"

"I……"

Huang Tianxuan said with a bitter face: "Isn't it? I can't accept it! What about my project? What about my project? My experiment is still running. If I don't go to the results tomorrow, who will observe?"

Wu Wenyue sighed: "Why don't you find a relationship, President Huang, and see if I can let you go through the back door and let you out?"

Huang Tianxuan immediately shook her head: "Stop joking, what building are we in?"

"No. 2, go downstairs in half an hour."

Wu Wenyue closed the window, turned around and sighed again: "Let's eat first, no wonder he hasn't come back yet, so he didn't go out at all."

Huang Tianxuan was startled, and frowned slightly: "Then Zhao Qingge..."

"click~"

The door opened, and Li Peifeng and Zhao Qingge stepped in.

"We're back, have you heard the radio?"

Li Peifeng had a mask on his face, and was holding an unopened bag of white clothes wrapped in plastic in his hand, with serious eyes: "This is a bit difficult!"

Now he doesn't have to cover his mouth and laugh because he got a mask!
"..."

Zhao Qingge's face was numb, he didn't even change his shoes, and he sat on the sofa when he entered the room, staring straight at the TV that was not turned on, without saying a word.

"Professor Zhao, are you really not allowed to go out?"

Huang Tianxuan stepped forward and asked with concern: "Didn't you tell me about your situation just now? Those like us who have never had contact with the residents of Building No. [-] and who don't live in Baoyu Community can't leave?"

"No."

Zhao Qingge shook his head weakly: "Don't talk about our situation. Just now, there was a takeaway boy who entered the community to deliver food, but when he wanted to go out, the community was blocked, and the police wouldn't let him go out."

Wu Wenyue laughed out loud, "Is there anything more unlucky?"

Huang Tianxuan was dumbfounded: "Then... where does he live?"

Zhao Qingge looked up at her slightly, and sighed softly: "The community worker gave him a tent and a sleeping bag, and the management will let him set up a tent in the office overnight."

"This!"

Huang Tianxuan didn't know what to say, she accidentally heard the sound of clattering plastic, turned her head to look, it turned out that it was Li Peifeng who opened the bag of clothes in his hand, and what he took out was a set of white protective clothing!

"The community still sends this?"

"It wasn't posted."

Li Peifeng put it on his body, and said casually: "I have to apply for the volunteers in the community to receive it, and I will go to work in a while to help maintain order."

Wu Wenyue, who was about to sit down and continue eating, couldn't help turning her head to look at him, and said sarcastically, "I didn't realize that you are so responsible?!"

Li Peifeng didn't care about the insinuation at all, and instead explained: "Responsibility is one aspect, mainly because there are not so many people's daily necessities in the family."

"The community also distributes some necessary things, such as mobile phone chargers, toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, and bedding. These things will not be distributed. There are not so many people in the family. I can only buy them myself, but the community is closed. Couriers and takeaways can’t be delivered, and they can be delivered to the gate of the community at most.”

"But I just asked. Residents are not allowed to go downstairs unless necessary. That is to say, even if you buy it, you can't pick it up. You can only use volunteers to help you run errands to deliver it. But there are so many residents in the community, and the staff There are so few non-essential daily necessities, whether the volunteers are willing to give you back or not, even if you are willing to give them back, you may not be able to get them when... So, do you understand?"

After sending Zhao Qingge to the gate, but after learning that the community was banned, Li Peifeng's first reaction was, surprise!
Damn it, the quarrel was so bad that I was about to break it off with Daoer, the result?Four people had to live together!

Is there anything more reconcilable than this?No, not at all!
But after the surprise, Li Peifeng had to think about how the four of them could live normally. This house has three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms, and there is an attic upstairs. It is definitely enough for four people, but the ban came suddenly, and his family did not have enough food, oil, rice and noodles. .

Li Peifeng can last for a month on his own, and if four people eat it, it will probably be gone in a week.Even if the community will distribute supplies, there is no need to worry about food, but there are too many things that are lacking at other levels.

The charger, toothpaste, and toothbrush that Li Peifeng just said are all a small part, but the clothes of the three girls are a big problem.The closed period of the community starts from [-] days. During these [-] days, you can't keep them from changing clothes, right?Even if you don't need to change your jacket because you don't go out, you still need to change your underwear.

Secondly, living at home for so long, it is impossible for the three girls to not only eat and sleep, but also need entertainment and work. Whether it is leisure or telecommuting, they need to get their computers back.

To obtain these, three people need to call and send someone to take out the required items from their own homes and deliver them, and then the staff will hand them over.

But Li Peifeng felt that it would be better to become a staff member himself. The first reason is that there is not enough manpower, and the community is under control, so there is a chance that non-essential living materials will not be given away.But if he is a volunteer, a part of the anti-epidemic work, tell the community that there are people in it, stealing something secretly, no one will take it seriously.

Second, if Li Peifeng hadn't been a volunteer and hadn't picked up the computers and chargers for them, what would have happened at home during this period of time?
The three girls were probably fighting all day long to grab the charger and the TV station. If they got angry and didn't vent their anger, it would only be vented on Li Peifeng's head.

After the ban period ends, it is possible that the rift will become deeper.

Therefore, signing up as a volunteer may seem a little tiring, but in fact, the benefits are great. Not only can you take the opportunity to leave the house and avoid the situation of being a doormat, but you may also gain some impression points in the hearts of the girls and further ease the relationship.

Let me ask, Zhao Qingge, Wu Wenyue, and Huang Tianxuan saw him busy after becoming a volunteer, running around for this 'family', working so hard to improve their quality of life, can they still bear to be angry?

Li Peifeng believed that it was absolutely impossible, and the surprise or soothing eyes of the three of them after hearing his explanation was the best proof.

The atmosphere of anxiety and impatience just now calmed down.

That's right, since you can't get out, you can only live here, and if you come here, you can rest in peace...

"You continue to eat. While eating, think about what you want to bring from home, and ask someone to call and deliver it to the fence of the community, and then ask him to call me. I will pick it up while it is dark."

"..."

Li Peifeng urged: "What are you still doing in a daze? After eating, it's probably our turn to do nucleic acid in Building 2 after eating. You still want to queue up hungry?"

Only then did the three of them move. Huang Tianxuan walked slowly towards the dining table, tilting her head and thinking about what she needed, while Wu Wenyue picked up her phone directly, as if she was sending someone a WeChat message.

"Yumei, what are you doing?"

Zhao Qingge also sat down at the dining table, and used his mobile phone to call acquaintances around him, telling his situation: "I'm having some problems right now, and I need your help."

"Wow~"

Li Peifeng had already put on protective clothing, walked into the kitchen to get a glass of water, poured it down, and told the three people in the restaurant: "I have to go to work now. Tell her to call me."

Huang Tianxuan looked away from the phone, looked up at him, frowned and said, "Aren't you hungry?"

Li Peifeng shook his head: "I'm not hungry, you eat your food, you don't need to keep it for me, and you don't need to collect the dishes after eating, I will wash it myself when I come back."

Zhao Qingge was still on the phone, but his eyes were fixed on Li Peifeng: "Yes, the mask, facial cleanser, skin cream... are all in the bathroom. If you can't find them, wait until my house to play the video."

Wu Wenyue used two things at once, sending WeChat messages on her mobile phone while bowing her head to eat.

Li Peifeng reminded again: "When you go downstairs, wear more clothes. I have a down jacket in the closet, and I can wear mine. The temperature is very cold at night, and the wind is not small. You need to wait in line for a while to do nucleic acid. Don't catch a cold. "

After saying that, he put on a mask and goggles, turned and left the house.

As soon as he got out of the elevator, the mobile phone rang a WeChat notification.

Wu Wenyue: "Pay attention to protection, keep a distance from other people, and don't infect us after work."

It's barely a concern.

Li Peifeng replied with a smile, 'Don't worry', feeling a little perfunctory, and added: "Nothing can hurt me, except Wenyue your knife, promise me, don't knife me!"

After replying, Mr. Li's pace towards the gate of the community accelerated a lot, and after a while, he met people who were queuing up to do nucleic acid.

At this moment, the cordon has been pulled up here, the guard is regarded as a nucleic acid point, the small window is open, whose turn is it, who scans the code to register, the medical staff inside reach out with a cotton swab, and the next one continues to top it, orderly In order, so it's fast.

The four units in Building No. [-], with a total of more than [-] people, have already completed half of the work.There are three or four 'Dabai' on both sides of the team maintaining order.Li Peifeng kept walking, turned around and walked into the property office opposite the guard's office.

There are more 'Dabai' and the community in plain clothes, property staff and police, as well as volunteers with the same identity as him, or residents of Baoyu Community.

There is a lot of chatter, each talking about his own, and the voice is very noisy.

"Xiaofeng, you are here, and I happened to be talking about this... Come on, use your mobile phone to get insurance."

An elder sister in her 40s wearing a red down jacket saw Li Peifeng enter the house and immediately greeted him.

Sister Zheng, the deputy director of the community, is in charge of volunteer management. Li Peifeng asked her to sign up at that time.

"Hey, tell me, how do you get it?"

"You download that app first..."

Volunteers can receive free insurance during the epidemic, and if the applicant is a student, the relevant department will issue a volunteer certificate, which will play an extremely small role in evaluating outstanding students and scholarships for college students.

Li Peifeng, who is about to graduate, doesn't pay much attention to certificates, but insurance is still a must.

After receiving the insurance, Ms. Zheng held a small meeting with several volunteers, assigned tasks, and briefly explained some precautions, such as ensuring her own safety, avoiding conflicts with residents, and not buying errands for profit. After making a profit, she emphasized one point .

"We must remember one thing, don't help them pick up couriers and takeaways, let alone give money. If you find a case, you will be disqualified as a volunteer immediately. If you make a profit, you must be held accountable, because this is a matter of principle. Foreign items cannot guarantee safety. , and once you help a family, there will be constant troubles afterwards, and our manpower is not enough to maintain this kind of tedious work."

"But if it is a special urgent need, such as medicines, sanitary napkins, pillows, quilts and other necessities of life, you should give me feedback first, and I will find someone to buy them in a unified manner, and then distribute them. This is no problem..."

After the meeting was over for a short time, Li Peifeng went to Sister Zheng to talk about his situation in private. The latter blinked and said in a low voice, "Only for your own home, pay attention to disinfection, and keep a low profile." Li also understood. .

"Everyone, get your work card, and then go out to work. If you encounter any problems, call me and Officer Zhang as soon as possible. Thank you for your hard work."

The crowd dispersed, and Li Peifeng also walked out of the property office.

Volunteers work in groups of two, and each group has different tasks. The job he is assigned is patrolling. The specific job is not to let the residents of each building come down for a stroll.

Li felt that he could be assigned this task, which might have something to do with his burly physique.

And he also has a partner, that unlucky takeaway boy, who is more than 1.8 meters tall, very fat, and the small eyes under the goggles are full of despair. After walking two steps, Li Peifeng heard him sigh three times.

"What's the matter, why am I so unlucky!"

"Life, fate..."

Li Peifeng casually gave a few words of comfort, and the takeaway boy's mood didn't improve, he just chatted with him without saying a word.

"The nucleic acid testing of all residents in Building 7 has been completed, and now the residents of Building 1 are asked to go downstairs for testing immediately."

The two of them didn't go far when they saw 'Dabai' yelling through the loudspeaker, and the residents of Building No. [-] also went downstairs one after another.

So, the two of them stopped and stopped to observe.This is actually fulfilling their duties to avoid confusing the residents of other buildings. In order to do the nucleic acid in advance, they jump in the queue and the order will be messed up, which is also a big trouble.

"It feels like there are many more people in Building [-] than in Building [-]."

Li Peifeng looked around in the cold wind, and said casually: "There are four apartment buildings, but seven or 80 people have come down in just a short while."

The takeaway boy didn't take it seriously: "Building No. 1 has a good view. It is close to the road and the gate of the community. There are store houses, and there are also garages that have been converted into concierges for business. Naturally, there are many permanent residents."

"No wonder."

Li Peifeng nodded slightly, his eyes were still looking at the crowd without any focus, until he found that the conspicuous white hair in the crowd was getting closer and closer to him through the dim street lights in the community, his eyes slowly focused...

"I seem to see someone I know?"
