Every single word is love for a respectable mother

Unusual winter vacation

The evening of January 24 was New Year's Eve. The phone ringing made me wake up. I still entered sleepy eyes, my mother answered: “Yes, director, I am on vacation with my family in Changzhou (Jiangsu). When? Okay, my family is on the way right away.

Mom turned on the night light and woke the father and son. I tried to get under the blanket, nagging: “Today is New Year's Eve, we will have dinner with great-grandfather and uncles. I want to receive money to celebrate my age when I go to celebrate New Year. It's been a while since I had Tet in the countryside.

“Good son, I will explain on the way home. Now he needs to wake up and pack, ”she said as she pulled me out of bed and helped me get dressed.

The noise made the grandparents sleeping in the next room wake up. One person prepares breakfast, the other starts packing up and making a call.

At 7:00 a.m., we quickly had a simple breakfast, put our luggage in the car, left the stuff that didn't fit in the relatives' house. It was still dark, rainy and foggy.

Mom dragged me into the car even though I was crying because I left off the vacation. Dad started the car. The wipers are continuous but the visibility is only 50 meters. Mom urged Daddy to drive quickly and then later asked him to slow down. I feel car sick and this Tet is terrible.

Corona and mother's business trip

“I know you're not happy, but you know why you had to miss a vacation to come to Wuhan? Because there is a new virus out there and hundreds of people are infected, thousands of people are quarantined, ”she said.

"Is it more serious than the flu?", I asked.

"Sure. Do you remember last month, your 16 classmates had to miss school because of the flu? This pneumonia-like virus is even more dangerous. In 2003, a virus similar to SARS broke out in Beijing, infecting thousands of people, killing 700.

I feel sad when my mom shows me old photos of the SARS epidemic: People wear masks everywhere, doctors, nurses wear protective gear and very few people walk on the streets.

"Mom, must I go?", I worry.

“That's right, the mother is the chief nurse, the military nurse. Her mother's job is to heal wounds and rescue people in need. Wuhan is in danger. That's your father's hometown. You must come, save it. "

Arriving in Shanghai, my mother hurriedly went inside. Ten minutes later, Mom went downstairs with her small bag. Looking at my mother, I almost burst into tears. I know she will be away for a long time, I won't be able to eat her cooking - she will be brave against the dangerous virus.

Mom hugged, stroked my head. "Be strong!", She said and left.

Lunar New Year is quietly

Dinner to welcome the Lunar New Year that day was a bowl of noodles cooked by him. Very few festivals are held, I don't even want to see the New Year Gala. There was no sound of traffic outside, no firecrackers. Time seemed to stop.

8:00 am, mom calls home. "Watch the news on Central radio," she said, then hung up quickly before we could talk. I turned on the TV. It was broadcasting the efforts of the medical corps from Shanghai to Wuhan, mother appeared on the screen.

Dressed in a navy blue uniform, her mother and 150 other military medical personnel were on their way to the plane. The cargo plane opens the back door. Mother and teammates rushed to the plane, quietly and orderly.

Everyone's face showed a solemn, worried look. The only noise was the sound of shoes hitting the ground and orders from the commander. Finally, the plane plunged over the runway and took off into the night sky.

Wuhan, tonight, people will not have to fight themselves. Mom and teammates are coming!

After watching the live show, I was not sad anymore and fell asleep. Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Life continues, Mother will return and Wuhan will be as peaceful as before.
