OBS Chapter 977 Worried Girl
Chapter 977 Worried Girl
On the second day after Secretary Yan went to the town, dozens of military trucks loaded with supplies and personnel drove into Linshan Town in a mighty manner.
After more than a day of investigation and evidence collection, investigators determined that a large-scale contagious plague had indeed occurred and reported the matter.
After emergency discussions, the army leaders raised supplies overnight and arranged for soldiers and medical staff to come to provide assistance.
Shortly after the troops arrived, the town government issued an order to suspend classes in all schools and stop operations in all factories in the town.
The main thing we found during the investigation was that many people fell ill due to the gathering of people in both schools and factories.
The troops took over various schools and, after thoroughly disinfecting them, used them as makeshift hospitals to treat infected patients.
The town government issued a notice that anyone with symptoms of cold or fever can go to the nearest hospital for treatment.
In addition to the town, some soldiers and military doctors also went to the communes below and used the commune schools and clinics to build temporary hospitals to treat patients.
As for the production teams below, because there were too many of them and they were too scattered, and the army had limited medical personnel, they could not go to every production team, so they could only ask them to send the patients to their respective communes for treatment.
After the commune received the notice, it also distributed the information to all production teams under its jurisdiction.
The Red Star Production Team naturally also received the notice from the Qianjin Commune.
As soon as he received the notice, the team leader took a loud speaker and shouted throughout the production team to inform all the villagers of the information.
The captain sternly warned the villagers through the loudspeaker, asking everyone not to run around, as there was a plague raging outside and it was unsafe anywhere.
If you run around, you are likely to catch the plague.
Other production teams did not have such good treatment as the Red Star Production Team. They could receive treatment in their own production teams without having to go to the commune with great difficulty.
The villagers of the Red Star Production Team were informed by cadres two days ago that there might be an epidemic and were asked to stay at home. The patients of the production team were also gathered together, but they still held out a glimmer of hope.
I thought maybe the captain made a mistake, it was just a cold, not that dangerous.
However, due to the prestige of the team leader and Secretary Xu over the years, they did not dare to refute.
But they didn't expect to receive such news after staying at home for a few days. They were really worried.
You have to know that the villagers have lived here for generations, and basically every family has a daughter who has married out.
Except for a very small number of women who married into the same production team, most of them married into other production teams.
When he heard that there was really a plague coming, he immediately became worried about the women in his family who had married out.
After all, the cadres had said before that many people had died of illness in other production teams, communes, and towns.
Thanks to Liu Zhiqing's medicine, although the disease could not be cured, no one in the Red Star Production Team died of the disease.
Then the families of their daughters who married into other villages would be in danger.
But the captain repeatedly emphasized through the loudspeaker that no one was allowed to go out.
If you ignore the advice and leave the production team, you will not be allowed to enter the village.
All the main entrances and exits of the production team were guarded by people. Even if the villagers knew some small paths that could bypass those guarded places, there were still people patrolling the team from time to time.
If you happen to encounter it, it would be bad.
Those who did not dare to disobey orders and sneak out of the production team came to find the team leader, trying to say a few good words and ask him to be flexible.
Seeing his second uncle still not making sense after talking for a long time, the captain felt a headache.
"Biaozi, don't go too far, she's your sister."
"Uncle, I know that's my sister, but I have to consider the whole production team."
"You said you went to see my sister, what purpose did that serve?
If my sister was not infected with the disease, you might have been infected with the virus while walking there.
When you see my sister, you will infect her with the virus, and that will harm my sister, right?"
"If, Second Uncle, I mean if, please don't be angry.
If my sister has been infected and is sick, what role will you play?
You are so old, can you take care of her or something?
You can only make her feel uncomfortable, making her sick and having to take care of you."
It takes a heavy hammer to hit the drum, so the captain decided to speak more seriously to scare the old man away.
"At your age and with your resistance, it is certain that you will be infected.
With your physical condition, if you get sick, you will probably die because you are not in our production team, there is no good medicine, and no one to take good care of you.
Okay, you go to see your daughter and get infected with the virus from her. That's it. What will my sister think then?
She must think she killed you."
The second uncle retorted, "Then we can bring your sister back and let her get treatment in our production team.
We have good medicine here, even if it can't cure you, it can save your life."
The team leader felt overwhelmed, "Second Uncle, do you think the other members of the production team would agree to bring patients from other villages into the production team, given the risk of infecting themselves?"
"What do you mean by someone from another village? Your sister is from our production team, but she is married."
"Yes, she used to be a member of our production team, but she has been married for decades and no longer belongs to our production team.
Second uncle, our sister is already a grandmother. She has several sons, daughters, and many grandchildren.
A whole family of more than 20 people live together.
You also know that once this disease occurs, the whole family will be affected. Do you plan to bring her back alone, or bring the whole family back?
If you bring them back, where are you going to let them live?"
"Don't tell me you're staying at the educated youth center. It's already full, and the other centralized treatment center is also full.
Besides, why should the production team allow dozens of people from other villages to live here? They don’t work here to earn money, but come here when they need to spend money, right?
There was no way the production team would agree to let them move in.
If you insist on bringing them here, they can only live in your house, but can your house accommodate them?
Second Uncle, don't forget that you not only have a daughter, but also a son, grandson, and great-grandson.
You brought dozens of patients to your home, are you trying to send your sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons away at the same time and kill them all at once?"
The second uncle fell silent after hearing this. Although he felt sorry for his daughter, he also felt sorry for his son, grandson, and great-grandson.
Seeing that the second uncle didn't say anything, the captain softened his tone.
"Uncle, it's not that I'm unkind, but every family in our production team has a daughter who has married out.
If everyone was like you, wanting to go see our daughter and bring her family back home, our production team would be in chaos.
Not only was there no place to live, but I was afraid that the entire production team was doomed.
This door must not be opened."
"Second uncle, I also have a daughter, and Guiying has married and moved to Liushugou.
You said I'm not worried about her, but she has a baby.
But I can't go to see her, nor can I take her back.
If I, as the team leader, don’t set an example myself, how can I control the villagers below me?”
“You have to trust the party and trust the government.
Now the troops have been dispatched and people have been sent down to treat the patients.
The formula for Liu Zhiqing's medicine had been delivered long ago, and it is probably being used on patients now.
You just wait patiently.
After this incident is over, you can go see our sister and bring her back to stay with you for a few days. No one will stop you.
If my brothers don't allow me to do so, please tell me and I will go talk to them."
After a lot of persuasion, the captain finally convinced the second uncle and sent him away.
After the second uncle left, the team leader picked up the loudspeaker and started shouting throughout the village, telling the entire production team to revise what he had just said to the second uncle.
We must make them give up the idea of secretly visiting their daughter and bringing her back.
I have to say that the captain's words are quite convincing.
This did dissuade some of the people from thinking this way.
As for some people who cannot be convinced, their families will also ask them to give up this idea for their own safety.
