Chapter 9 Glory in the name of profession!

"I don't agree! Why are you going? Why aren't someone else going?" Jing's mother's tone was a little angry, in order to cover up her worries and tension.

Jing Mo said: "Others have signed up, but the final list has not yet come out. If I am really selected, it means that I have strong work ability and have been affirmed. You should be happy for me."

Jing's mother said angrily: "Happy? How come you make me happy? Others run out of Wuhan, but you are good, you have to go to Wuhan. Why are you so sarcastic? Do you think your brain is stronger than others?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was full of gunpowder, Jing's father smiled awkwardly and wanted to persuade him. He handed the chopsticks to his wife and said, "Eat, eat..."

"Eat a hammer and you won't be in the mood to eat!" Jing's mother took the chopsticks, slammed on the dining table, turned around and went back to the bedroom, closing the door with a slam.

Jing Mo felt a little aggrieved. He originally wanted to get support and encouragement from his parents, but unexpectedly, he didn't understand what he got. She sat at the dining table, covering her face and wanted to cry.

"Cry, it's more comfortable to cry." Jing's father took a few tissues and handed them to her, sighing and said, "It's not that your mother doesn't understand you, nor does she not support you, just because you are her only daughter and the only child, so she is afraid that you are in danger and you are hurt, especially the place you are going to is Wuhan, which has the severe epidemic. And you just said that the new coronavirus this time is very terrible. In other words, Wuhan has become a battlefield without gunpowder. If you ask her to send you to the battlefield with a smile, how can she laugh?"

"Dad, do you want to advise me not to go?" Jing Mo asked after taking the tissue, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Dad Jing smiled, lit a cigarette, and smoked, saying, "I want to persuade you, but I have to ask you to listen to your advice. You have been stubborn since you were a child, and even ten cows can't pull back the matter you decided. Even if your mother and I advise you not to go, you must have to go, right?"

Jing Mo nodded and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Jing's father: "Don't worry, listen to me finish it first. I know that in the earthquake that year, you left a knot in your heart. Over the years, this knot has not been untied, and you have been living in this knot. This time you are going to Wuhan, in my opinion, may be an opportunity to untickle your knot. To be criticized, I don't want you to be any hero. Because heroes often have to take risks and be in danger. I just hope that my daughter can be well and safe. So, if you are really selected and want to go to Wuhan, I hope you must protect yourself and not be a hero, as long as you return safely."

Jing Mo didn't expect that Jing's father would say these things to her, and she couldn't even remember how long it took to have not chatted with Jing's father like this. After listening to Jing's father's words, she burst into tears and said, "Dad, I promise you that I will definitely return safely."

Dad Jing nodded and said, "Okay, I remember this. I must come back safely! In addition, I also hope that you can untie your knot. Carrying too much expectation and pressure is not a good thing. You should also have your own life. As for the person who is your mother, after so many years, you still don't know her? She just has a sharp tongue and a slander. Don't look at the fierce argument with you just now, that's all about you. If she doesn't care about you and doesn't worry about you, she will be too lazy to argue with you. However, after she figures out your decision and calms down, she will definitely support you. So, don't blame her, let alone be angry with her."

Jing Mo nodded and said, "I know, I won't."

"That's good, let's have a meal." Jing's father said, and grabbed a rabbit head for Jing Mo: "This is what you like. If you go to Wuhan, you may not be able to eat it." Then he brought a big bowl and put some food in.

"What are you doing?" Jing Mo asked.

Dad Jing said, "Send it to your mother. Do you think she really won't eat? By the way, I'll help you enlighten her." Dad Jing winked and whispered, as if saying: Look at me.

Jing Mo couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed. After a pause, he wanted to cry again. Finally, he said, "Thank you, dad."

Dad Jing turned around and said, "What are you saying thank you to me? If you really want to thank me, when you come back from Wuhan, you will get married as soon as possible. The matter of having a baby can be slow down."

Jing Mo smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, why have you become the same as my mother?"

"Nonsense, your mother and I are a couple, can we be different?" After replying, Jing Dad brought the food into the bedroom.

At the same time, at Yuan Zhi's house, the family was having a meal.

During the meal, Yuan Ma said, "Did you tell Jing Mo? Let her come to her house for dinner during the Chinese New Year."

Yuan Zhi answered while picking up the rice from the bowl, "I said it, but the situation this year is a bit special. She doesn't know when she will be free..."

"Why? You have to work overtime again?" Yuan Ma asked.

Yuan Zhi responded: "Yes."

"Is it because of the new coronavirus?" Yuan asked, putting down the chopsticks in his hand.

"Yes." Yuan Zhi nodded, and then asked: "Dad, I remember you said that you seemed to have participated in the fight against SARS back then? How about the situation at that time compared to the current new crown?"

Yuan’s father is also a doctor, but he did not work with Yuan Zhi in the same hospital. Yuan Zhihui was also influenced by Yuan’s father. Yuan’s father was both proud and helpless about his son. Pride is Yuan Zhi’s grades. Whether during school or after graduation, Yuan Zhi’s grades are great. But helplessness is because Yuan Zhi’s attitude and temperament are not like a real doctor. He just regards doctors as a profession and does not realize the weight and expectations carried by the white clothes.

When Yuan Zhi suddenly asked about SARS, Yuan’s father was quite surprised.

This was the first time Yuan Zhi was talking to him about work at the dinner table. He felt a little relieved in his heart. While recalling his experience in fighting SARS, he told Yuan Zhi. Yuan Zhi listened very seriously. Although SARS and the new coronavirus are different in many aspects, some experiences are still worth learning and learning from.

Yuan's mother was a little suspicious. After a pause, she interrupted and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of talking about these things with your father today?"

When Yuan Dad was stunned when he heard this, he also reacted a little. He couldn't help but stop the chopsticks and looked at Yuan Zhi.

Yuan Zhi buried his head in his meal, and did not look up. He said in a plain tone: "Oh, our hospital is going to select medical personnel to form a medical rescue team to rush to Wuhan, I have signed up."

"What did you say? You signed up?" Yuan's father shook his hand and almost shocked his chopsticks. He was in a very complicated mood at the moment. He was a little worried about his son, but at the same time he felt that his son had finally gotten enlightened and knew the responsibility of saving lives and healing the wounded as a doctor.

Dad Yuan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.

I wanted to praise Yuan Zhi for a few words, but I felt worried and reluctant. I wanted to let him not go, but my son finally got to know him and finally looked like a real doctor. It was really inappropriate to drag him back at this time.

Yuan’s father was nervous and hesitant, feeling in a dilemma, not knowing what to say. However, Yuan’s mother patted the chopsticks and said, “Son, mom supports you!”

Yuan Zhi raised his head, a little surprised. He originally thought that his father would express his support as soon as possible before he talked about this matter, but the situation was a little different from what he thought.

Before Yuan Zhi could ask, Yuan’s mother said: “But, mom also has a requirement… it’s not right, there are three requirements.”

"What are the requirements?" Yuan Zhi was a little curious.

Yuan’s mother said: “Since you have signed up for the medical rescue team, then go and do it well, and finally come back to me!”

Yuan Zhi was silent for a moment, suddenly laughed and nodded: "Okay."

"Old Yuan, why don't you say anything? You can say a few words." Yuan's mother said a few words to Yuan's father, then stood up and said, "There should be almost done in the microwave, so I'll take it out..." She turned around quickly and walked towards the kitchen. Because when she said the last sentence, her voice was already a little choked, afraid that her son would see the tears in her eyes.

As a mother, she said support, but her worries were a little bit too much. She just didn't want to show it, so that her son could see it, and asked her son to worry.

Yuan Zhi saw the tears flashing in Yuan Ma's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and did not open his mouth. He withdrew his gaze, looked at Yuan Dad, and asked, "Dad, where are your opinions?"

My father didn't say anything, just took off his glasses, took a tissue, wiped the lenses, and seemed to be organizing the language. After a while of silence, he said, "I should be happy and support you, because you finally act like a real doctor. But at the same time, there was another fear in my heart, wanting to advise you not to go. Because I am also a doctor, and I have experienced SARS that year, I know how terrible this fierce infectious disease is. It is like a demon, eyeing people at any time, ready to kill people..."

Yuan Zhi really wanted to ask his dad, do you want me to go, or don’t want me to go? But in the end he endured it and listened to his dad continue to talk later.

Yuan's father was silent for a moment, and then his tone suddenly increased a little: "But we are not ordinary people, we are doctors, and fighting against diseases is our duty! Just like the duty of a soldier is to defend the country, the duty of a policeman is to eliminate violence and safeguard the good, and the duty of a firefighter is to extinguish fires. We doctors are to save lives and heal the wounded and cure diseases and save people. Now in Wuhan, the COVID-19 epidemic is so serious, and we doctors and nurses don't go, who will go? So, even if I am worried, even if I am uneasy, even if I am reluctant to leave, I will still say 'Get up' to you!"

Yuan Zhi couldn't help laughing and nodded and responded: "Get up!"

Dad Yuan turned his head and shouted to the kitchen: "Old woman, please bring out the soup quickly, and then take out the wine for me. I want to have two drinks with my son and practice it for him!"

"Practice and practice, I think it's just that you want to drink, so you use your son as a shield." Yuan's mother walked out with the soup, her eyes were a little red. I don't know if she had secretly wiped her tears in the kitchen. After glaring at Yuan's father, she went to get the wine. The reason why she asked her to get the wine was not to use it, but that Yuan's father didn't dare to get it by himself. When his wife was not at home, he could secretly take the wine for a few sips. When his wife was at home, then everything was decided by his wife... Otherwise, how could the raking ears in Sichuan become famous all over the country?

When Yuan’s mother went to get the wine, Yuan’s father remembered something and said to Yuan Zhi: “I have something for you, wait a moment.”

Yuan Zhi was stunned when he heard this and asked curiously: "What is it?"

"You will know later." Dad Yuan said as he walked towards his room.

After a while, he walked out, holding a white coat that was a little old but clean, and walked out.

"When the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Sichuan Army left Sichuan. Wang Jiantang's father Wang Zhecheng gave him a flag with the word "Death" which reads: Wipe the blood when you are injured, wrap your body after you die. Go forward bravely and don't forget your duty! I am not as great as the prince, and I don't want something to happen to you. Like your mother, I also want you to come back safely. This white coat was worn by me when I went to the front line and fought against SARS. I have been keeping it for so many years, as a commemoration. Now, I give you this white coat. I hope it can protect you like I did back then. It is also hope that after you arrive in Wuhan, you can devote yourself to the protest war like we did in the fight against SARS!"

Yuan Zhi took the white coat and saw two lines of words on it, but the ink had been washed very lightly.

One line of characters is written with the name of Yuan Dad, and the other line of characters is written with the word SARS.

Yuan’s father was holding a pen in his hand, unscrewed the cover, and wrote Yuan Zhi’s name and the word “New Coronavirus” on the other side of the white coat.

Yuan’s father handed over the white coat to Yuan Zhi, took the wine and cups that Yuan’s mother brought, poured two glasses of wine, handed one to Yuan Zhi, and said, “Come on, I’ll do this wine. After defeating the new coronavirus, we two will come back and have two drinks like today.”

"Dad..." Yuan Zhi glanced at the white coat, then looked at the wine glass, and said with a wry smile: "I just filled out the application form, but it has not been officially approved yet. You are so formal. If I am not selected, wouldn't it be embarrassing?"

Dad Yuan was full of confidence and said, "With your level, how could he not be selected? If he cannot be selected, I will go to your hospital and ask Xiao Xianlin to argue."

They are both doctors from the same city. Although they are not in the same hospital, they often meet at meetings and events. So it is not surprising that Yuan’s father and Xiao Xianlin know each other.

Yuan Zhi laughed in silence, holding a white coat in one hand, took the wine glass handed by Yuan’s father in the other hand, and raised his head and drank it dry.

Next, the family continued to eat.

During this period, Yuan Ma asked: "Have you told Jing Mo about this?"

Yuan Zhi was a little embarrassed, but he still replied: "I want to wait until tomorrow and tell her after the official news comes."

Yuan’s mother nodded and said, “You must tell her about this matter. As for us, you don’t have to worry.”

Yuan Zhi nodded and said clearly.

That night, Yuan Zhi and Jing Mo were lying on the bed, tossing and turning a little, unable to sleep.

They didn't know each other that on such a night, both families were performing similar plots, and they all had similar reactions and lost similar sleep. This was actually the tacit understanding of their lovers.

In the morning, as soon as they arrived at the hospital, Yuan Zhi and Jing Mo received notices that their application would be the first batch of medical personnel sent by the hospital. Together with people from other hospitals, they would form a medical rescue team and rush to Wuhan.

“When will you set out?”

"I don't know who is in the same team?"

"It's too urgent. I guess the final list will only be seen at the airport. Everyone's tacit understanding will be cultivated at that time on the plane."

People who got the departure time were discussing this matter enthusiastically.

Yuan Zhi and Jing Mo returned to the department after meetings in their respective hospitals, handed over work with their colleagues, and then went home to prepare their luggage.

After handing over the work, they took out their cell phones at the same time. After hesitating for a while, they finally called the other party, wanting to tell them about this.

They were a little nervous and nervous.

At this moment they forgot their argument, they just worried that the other party would support their decision.

They just want to say something to each other and wait for me to come back. We will solve other difficulties together.

Both of them were calling each other, and then the call was unsurprisingly busy...

"Sorry, the user you are calling is on the phone..."

When Yuan Zhi and Jing Mo heard the electronic prompt sound coming from the phone, they both frowned slightly.

Everyone is speculating that God’s intention is to hide it from the other party by himself, so that he wastes the courage he has finally mustered.
