scorching cold

The first sentence Tao Zhuo wanted to say was actually "what is she going to do", but when the words came to his lips, he really felt unable to say them.

"She...she's going?" He stuttered.

Tao Zhen wasn't in the mood to talk any more, and said "um", and didn't answer his words, just smoking a dull cigarette on the other end of the phone.

Tao Zhuo didn't know what to say when he heard the restless movement of him exhaling smoke heavily from his nasal cavity.

What do people say?

When I usually look at those "angels in white" and "medical staff", I just think it is a collective term for a group, and there is no real sense of substitution. There is also a kind of "natural" dependence in the subconscious, after all, this is their profession.

Just like firefighters, when they heard that there was a fire, they called 119 to find them.

I usually sigh when I see the news of firefighters' sacrifices, but it's just sighs. What I sigh is the whole profession, not a person who actually died.

Now it's suddenly the turn of someone who is really close to me, it feels really weird.

On the one hand, Tao Zhuo recognized Tao Qiwei's choice subconsciously. This is her profession, and it is indeed what she should do now.

But thinking about it privately, this is his sister-in-law, the person whom his brother has loved and protected for so many years, if she never comes back...

Tao Zhuo said "bah" in his heart, so he could only comfort Tao Zhen first, and said, "Okay, brother, don't worry, I'll call first and ask."

After hanging up the phone, Li Suihan asked him, "What's wrong?"

Tao Zhuo scratched his hair, and said in a daze, "My brother said little sister Tao is going to Wuhan."

Li Suihan's eyebrows twitched, but he didn't speak.

"My brother asked me to persuade her, what should I say?" Tao Zhuo was really distressed, "Her parents can't persuade her, she must have said everything, I can imagine how she asked me to hang up the phone."

No matter how you open your mouth to block people, you feel guilty, as if you will be directly evaporated by Tao Qiwei's light of justice as soon as you open your mouth.

"Did she apply by herself, or was the hospital directly transferred?" Li Suihan asked.

"He said he wrote the application, but he applied before, and he didn't tell my brother." Tao Zhuo replied.

"I can't persuade you." Li Suihan said.

Tao Zhuo made a bitter face.

"People who can persuade don't know how to write at the beginning." Li Suihan looked at Tao Zhuo, "Instead of following a large group of people to stop her, why don't you encourage her, cheer her up, and have more confidence."

"But do you think it's possible?" Tao Zhuo tentatively said, "She was very passionate when she wrote it, and then she regretted it after finishing it, but now she really smoked it, and she was embarrassed not to go, waiting for a few more people Persuade her to erect the steps so that she can go down the slope..."

Tao Zhuo made a lot of assumptions with gestures, and before he finished speaking, Li Suihan looked at him and laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Tao Zhuo was very depressed.

"The heart of a villain." Li Suihan waved at him, and Tao Xiaoren pouted, and let him sit in front of him.

"If it was me, would you let me go?" Tao Zhuo asked while touching Li Suihan's arm.

"No." Li Suihan said without thinking.

"Then what if I have to go?" Tao Zhuo asked again.

"You can't go." Li Suihan patted his head, "If I think about it, I will lock you at home and treat you like a real puppy."

"Wow, you still say I'm a villain!" Tao Zhuo shouted exaggeratedly, but he didn't feel scared in his heart, and he was a little sweet, turning his head to kiss Li Suihan, "I don't want you to go either."

After dawdling for a while, Li Suihan patted Tao Zhuo on the back, signaling him to get down to business.

Tao Zhuo reached for the phone, sighed again, and said, "The three of us are also speechless, and our sister is not as enlightened as we are stacked together."

Tao Qiwei didn't say much on the phone, Tao Zhuo just called his sister, and she asked directly: "Your brother asked you to call."

"Ah." Tao Zhuo agreed.

"Don't waste your time, come to the house to have dinner tonight, your parents and brothers will come." Tao Qiwei should be packing up, "pinging, bang", Tao Zhuo also heard her mother shouting "Wei Wei ".

"But I will be quarantined tomorrow." Tao Zhuo looked at the time.

"You're fine." Tao Qiwei said bluntly, "Is the new crown a watch? Step on 12 o'clock to release it."

"You still have the mind to joke..." Tao Zhuo felt even more uncomfortable when he heard Tao Qiwei's relaxed tone, "My brother is going to die, sister, you don't want him, but also your uncles and aunts, right? What do you mean Just go home and have no preparations at all..."

"So you can't live?" Tao Qiwei was directly amused, "You look down on your brother too much. Jinshi City has sent four batches. With so many families, if everyone can live, he can't live?"

"You..." Tao Zhuo was so choked that he couldn't speak.

"Okay, I have limited time, so we will meet at night." Tao Qiwei smiled, "If you have been cursed by you, if it is really the last time, you should take a second look."

Tao Zhuo was about to go crazy, "Ah—" he slumped on the bed with a wrinkled face, "Hurry up and shut up!" I haven't gone out for half a month, and I don't feel much in daily life. I'm going to Tao Qiewei's house in the evening Before, Tao Zhuo straightened his hair in front of the mirror, and felt that it was a bit too long.

"I'm like a savage." Tao Zhuo said sadly.

Li Suihan pushed his forehead hair back, buttoned a hat for him, matched it with a suitable scarf and coat, asked him to wear a mask and gloves, and put a new mask in his pocket.

Tao Zhuo was like a child, with his arms open for Li Suihan to put on, and when both of them had cleaned up, he took Li Suihan's hand and went out.

"Do you want to go up with me?" Tao Zhuo asked Li Suihan when he reached the downstairs of Tao Qiewei's house.

Tao Qiwei's "last side" is too lethal, the point is that no one can say that there is no such possibility, Tao Zhuo really wants Tao Qiwei to meet every family member.

"If you think about it, it's out." Li Suihan smiled and pulled the mask on him, "I'll go over to make trouble at this time, your brother is really going to explode."

Tao Zhuo felt sour in his heart, and hugged Li Suihan.

"Go, support her if you can't be persuaded, don't let her leave tomorrow, the whole room is still against it." Li Suihan said, "Go home to accompany your brother at night."

"My brother doesn't know if he will be back at night." Tao Zhuo muttered as he got out of the car, "Go home and accompany my mother, she may be blind from crying."

Mom, Dad, and the others had already come over first. Tao Zhuo entered Tao Qiewei's house, and his mother immediately greeted him by shouting "Zhuo Zhuo".

Tao Zhuo found that he had underestimated his "estimates": both his mother and Tao Qiwei's mother had red eye circles and red noses, and the two fathers were sitting on the sofa, talking and laughing while watching, and the emotions in their eyes were also Can't hold it down at all.

Tao Zhuo greeted each other one by one, and signaled his mother not to get so close to him.He took out another mask from his pocket and put it on, sat down in a corner of the living room, and explained that he would actually be out of quarantine tomorrow, so it was better to be cautious.

My mother looked at him blankly, the corners of her mouth trembled uncontrollably, and she turned her face to cover her mouth.

"Xiao Zhuo is here?" Tao Qiwei yelled before he came out, like Wang Xifeng.

"Sister." Tao Zhuo blinked, not daring to admit it.

Tao Qiwei was thinner than the last time I saw her, her skin was very bad, her eye sockets were deep, she had two dark circles, and her cheekbones were a little cracked.

"You... are too haggard, like blowing half a moon in the old north wind." He grinned, "If you go, don't you let others hold you back?"

"The goggles are tight, it's okay." Tao Qiwei smiled, "I'm learning how to make soup with your brother, come and try."

Tao Zhuo knew Tao Qiwei's state when he saw Tao Qiwei's state, no matter who came to persuade her today, even if a room full of people restrained her, it would be useless.

She really wants to go.

After entering the kitchen and looking at Tao Zhen, Tao Zhuo was so distressed that he couldn't speak. He just felt that he and Tao Zhen were really brothers. He thought he was a savage enough, and Tao Zhen was more savage than him.

Except for adolescence, Tao Zhuo has almost never seen Tao Zhen not shaving his beard, his hair is also frizzy, and he has lost all his vigor, his eyes are bloodshot, like a wolf starving for food and sleep. myself, depressed and irritable.

Tao Zhuo's wall collapsed again in an instant, and he asked Tao Qiwei in a low voice, "Do you have to go? Aren't you a pediatrician?"

"Haven't you heard that pediatrics is a universal department?" Tao Qiwei also whispered in cooperation, "This proves that your sister's professional ability is superb."

Tao Zhen, who was cutting lettuce, slapped the knife on the chopping board when he heard the words, and looked over fiercely. He was speaking to Tao Zhuo, but his eyes were fixed on Tao Qiwei: "Yes, you ask her, ask her how Thinking about it, the hospital transferred someone else, and she took the initiative to exchange with someone else. Tao Qiwei, do you think of me as a human being in your heart? Is this something you go to when your brain is hot? It will kill you, do you know? Know?"

"Brother." Tao Zhuo hurriedly gestured to Tao Zhen, telling him to keep his voice down.

Tao Zhen breathed out with his hips crossed, and started chopping vegetables again, but no one in the living room came to persuade him to fight.

"It's not a hothead." Tao Qiwei was much calmer than Tao Zhen. She went to close the kitchen door and explained to Tao Zhuo seriously: "The colleague who was drawn is pregnant, and I was already in the selection."

"Is she pregnant?" Tao Zhen slapped the knife again, and when she came over, she wanted to pull Tao Qiwei, "Go, I'm pregnant now."

Tao Zhuo: "..."

"Are you crazy?" Tao Qiwei laughed angrily, avoiding Tao Zhen's grabbing her hand, and went to hug him and shook him, "I'm sure how to go and how to come back, didn't we say that we have to get married in autumn Woolen cloth."

"You also know that you are going to get married, so why it has to be you?" Tao Zhen nodded. He was comforted, and his irritability was suppressed a lot. He pulled Tao Qiwei's arm and turned to look at her, and tried to persuade her again. : "Tao Qiwei, even if you don't think about me, can you think about your parents? Think about your name yourself, what does it mean when your father gave you this name? If there is something wrong with you, what will the old couple do?" What to do? You are great and you are honored that you have dedicated yourself, oh, leave your parents waiting for me to raise them for you?"

"Brother!" Tao Zhuo's scalp exploded, and he almost wanted to gag Tao Zhen's mouth.

Tao Zhen glanced at the living room through the crack of the door, closed his mouth with a frown, and turned on the faucet to prepare the dishes.

"Sister Tao, my brother didn't mean that, he just worried about you." Tao Zhuo hurriedly explained to Tao Qiwei.

"Well, I know." Tao Qiwei smiled and was silent for two seconds. She rolled up her sleeves and helped Tao Zhen wash the vegetables, "But since I was asked to go, I have to go. There is no reason, I just do what I should do of."

"You must be a fart! You should be a fart!" Tao Zhen was completely angry, and shook Tao Qiwei's hand vigorously, "You are the only one short of so many doctors and nurses in China? Are you Zhong Nanshan or Li Lanjuan? You will not die, will you? ? Can’t do without you?!”

"I just can't do it without me!" Tao Qiwei finally broke out. She threw out half a pot of lettuce and smashed it on the ground. mess around.

"Hey, why did you fall on it!" Mom couldn't help but ran over, "Speak up, don't make noise, don't make noise, Tao Zhen, what are you calling!"

No one paid any attention to her. Tao Qiwei and Tao Zhen stared at each other and said, "How many people died in SARS? 349. Do you know how many doctors and nurses there are? More than 100!"

"There are more than 100 people! None of them should die for anyone! But if there was one person who made the opposite choice at the beginning, he didn't know what the final result would be!" Tao Qiwei's eyes were red, and his voice was high. The tone is still very calm.

Several parents still wanted to squeeze in to persuade them, but there was a narrow door panel, but they couldn't use their strength.

"So I can't do it without me." Tao Qiwei sniffed hard, "Anyone you see on the news, whether it's building a hospital or sending masks, it can't do without anyone."
