The long river of time flows endlessly, and the end of Shouyang is coming in a blink of an eye, and the new year is approaching.
The 28th day of the twelfth lunar month is the day before New Year’s Eve.
He Xiyan arrived at Troms Airport after taking the last tour group of last year with the expectation and urgency of returning home.
However, her journey back home was not smooth.
Sirens blared over the radio, and soon the airport was shut down and all flights were cancelled.
Tracing back to the source, it turned out that a family of three among the passengers had visited the epidemic area in Iceland and stayed for several days, and now tested positive for the new subtype of influenza virus.
Therefore, all the people in the airport have become close contacts and must be quarantined for a week for observation. For a while, everyone is at risk.
After heading to the isolation point in unison, He Xiyan ran into an old Chinese man with gray hair who was over 70 years old. It is understood that he was a professor of medicine at the University of Oslo before his retirement.
"The one in Iceland is type A influenza. It is highly contagious and prone to mutation... The virus traveled across the ocean to find us. It may be inevitable due to God's will."
"Although God's will sounds superstitious, it seems to be true." He Xiyan sighed softly and pulled up the mask.
"It's actually centralized isolation... Do those people know what they are doing? This will only greatly increase the chance of cross-infection!" The old professor realized the seriousness of the situation and went to the relevant staff to argue, but was ignored. He had no choice but to return depressed and indignant, "No matter how the times progress, similar historical mistakes will inevitably happen again... What a sin."
"There is a saying that is actually true. The stupidity of human beings lies in repeating the same mistakes over and over again." She agreed, and began to think about whether there was any chance of improvement. "Unfortunately, the masses are always more inclined to listen to self-righteous so-called authorities." rhetoric, thereby ignoring reality itself.”
When the call rang, I saw it was Luo Fan.
He Xiyan hesitated, her hands trembling slightly with fear. She roughly guessed what Luo Fan would ask, but did she dare to tell this cruel truth? She didn't dare and couldn't.
Perhaps, in the face of natural and man-made disasters, the emotional ties between people will become insignificant after all.
Finally, the moment I pressed the answer button, I seemed to have summoned up a lot of courage. She subconsciously glanced at the time and saw that it was already past four-thirty in the afternoon, which corresponded to half past eleven in Beijing time. "...Xiao Fan, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"
"It's New Year's Eve in less than half an hour, do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand, I also want to reunite with you. However, there is something going on here with Mom, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back for a while... I'm really sorry."
Listening to the sudden silence on the other end of the phone, she tried her best to control her emotions.
After a while, Luo Fanfu spoke again: "...You are still in Norway, right?"
Before He Xiyan could answer, the other party took the lead and continued. "I've heard about the influenza A epidemic. I understand that you don't want us to worry, but there's no need to hide the truth like this. I just hope that you'll take care of yourself when you're out alone and come back safely as soon as possible!"
"Xiao Fan, you are really sensible..."
"In addition, Yueyue just sent a voice message, please go and listen to it. I'm very sleepy now, so I'll hang up now... Good night."
According to what he said, He Xiyan indeed received the voice message from Luo Xiyue.
"Mommy, don't worry, my brother and I will take good care of ourselves! I also believe that you will be able to overcome the difficulties and come back soon, waiting for you! Be patient with you~"
After listening, He Xiyan felt a sadness in her heart, and more moved by the warmth, she couldn't help crying with joy.
It’s good to have the understanding and care of a pair of children, saying that “there is still glory on the other side.” If you can return home smoothly, you must accompany them well.
