（為社區居民某買的藥物）
今天是2020年3月1日 星期日 第十六篇
陰天。走在街上耳邊有呼呼風聲。
幾家半掩大門的商店和水果蔬菜店都在忙團購生意，不接待個人。若有人問詢，裏面要麼不搭理要麼甩出一句話：不賣！相當霸氣。
藥店大都在營業，所有的藥店都在大門口擺張桌子，顧客就隔著桌子沖著裏面報藥名。
有些小雜貨鋪偶爾會拉開卷閘門悄悄經營。有時老遠聽到嘩啦一聲，然後又沒了動靜，走近看時，門還是關著的。路過一家小炒貨店，一女的正用腳踢門：有病的都被抓光了，你怕個屁呀。老板只把門拉開一半，彎著腰露出一張臉，小聲問：你要什麼?我花十元錢買了一包炒花生，那女的卻一定要進去自個挑選。
覺得很是壓抑，覺得這一切才剛剛開始。
我對十元十斤蔬菜包的事還是很關心，心想就算不向所有市民提供，那些低保戶總應該有份。仔細一打聽，才知道到昨天我們全社區才弄到5份蔬菜包，這也太少了。更奇怪的是，下午我在自己所居住的小區看見居委會正公開出售這種十元十斤的蔬菜包。我問，是不是只有低保戶才能買，回答竟是誰都可以買。於是我也買了一包，有兩只白蘿蔔、四只胡蘿蔔、兩顆小包菜，稱了一下，還真是十斤，不多也不少。我也算是社區的人，但對這種情況還真弄不懂。
向市民出售十元十斤蔬菜包，我覺得這還真是件很好的事情，應該向所有市民提供，不管怎麼說，身居武漢的每一個人現在都是災民，既然是政府下的封閉令，那政府理所當然就要承擔解決所有居民基本生活方面問題的責任，包括最基本的吃菜問題。其實這種十元十斤的蔬菜也並不是多麼便宜，只是一般市民都能夠承擔而已。目前由於封城，關卡重重，農民要把地裏的菜運進城裏非常困難，但政府卻有能力直接將菜送到居民手中。如果全市推廣，既解決了市民吃菜的問題又給農民帶來了收入。一舉兩得，兩全其美，多麼好的事。其實嚴格地說，農民同樣也是災民，同樣因疫情遭受了重大損失。平時媒體總說統籌兼顧，現在不正是大力發揮的時候嗎。
今天社區給幾個居民小區發放了免費的愛心菜，前來領取的人可以分得一棵西蘭花菜和一大把紅綠尖椒（也有白蘿蔔但總共才十幾棵）。數量有限，先到先得，送完就沒有了。看著那些平日裏總是一副沉穩樣子的老頭三步並作兩步沖向領菜隊伍，真是有些心痛。這個小區業主的條件都比較好，以往這些東西就算送上門也沒人要。但不管怎麼說，真心感謝那些捐贈這些蔬菜的好心人，他們在救我們。謝謝！
最近幾天總聽有人說，現在非常時期，不是享受的時候，能夠不死就是勝利。我覺得如果把這當成我們的目標，那十有八九的還會死人。實在不明白那些人是怎麼想的，缺乏常識難道是我們的通病和傳統？
社區號召黨員交納特殊黨費，但不強迫。聽說有個黨員居民交了5000元。
這個月的工資到現在還沒有發下來。
聽說政府下達了給外來滯留武漢的困難人員發放3000元救濟金的文件，還聽說這筆救濟款先由社區墊付。說法很多，不知道是真是假，但這個救濟3000元的政策肯定是有的。
香煙很緊俏，價格低於20元一盒的煙根本買不到。據說煙草公司沒上班，店家沒貨。難道他們不知道，有的人不抽煙也會丟命？
聽說昨夜有個社區門被撬了，這種時候竟然也有小偷。
SUNDAY, MAR. 1, 2020
It is a cloudy day. The wind whistled in my ears as I walked down
the street.
Several fruit and vegetable stores are busy with group-buying
business and do not receive individual patrons. If someone asks, the store
owners either ignore or yell: “Not for sale!” Quite domineering.
Most of the pharmacies were open. All of them had a table at the
entrance. Customers were standing behind the table to tell the pharmacies
the name of the medicine.
Some small grocery stores will occasionally open their back doors
quietly. Sometimes I hear a sound from a distance. When I look closer,
the door is still closed.
I was passing a small store that sells stir-fry foods. I saw a woman
kicking the door: “What are you afraid of? Infected people were all
caught.” The owner peeked out of the door. She bent over to reveal a
face and whispered:” What do you want?” I spent ten yuan on buying a
bag of fried peanuts, but the woman insisted on going into the store to
choose. I feel very depressed and think that it has just begun.
However, even if the 10 yuan 10-pound packets don’t reach all
citizens, we should always grant them to low-income households. When
I inquired, I found out that only five vegetable packages were available
for the whole community until yesterday, which is too little. What’s even
stranger is that in the afternoon, I saw that the neighborhood committee
was openly selling these 10 pounds for 10-yuan vegetable packets in the
neighborhood where I live. I asked if only low-income households could
buy them, and the answer was that anyone could buy them. So, I
purchased two white radishes, four carrots, and two tiny cabbages and
weighed them. It’s ten pounds, no more and no less.
I think it’s a good thing to sell 10-pound vegetable packets to the
public. It should be available to all citizens. Everyone living in Wuhan is
now a disaster victim. These 10 pounds of vegetables are not so cheap,
but the public can afford them. At present, due to the closure of the city,
there are many barriers. It is challenging for farmers to transport
vegetables from their fields into the city. The government can deliver the
vegetables directly to the residents. If the city wants, it will solve the
shortage of vegetables and bring income to farmers. What a great thing
to do, to have the best of both worlds. Strictly speaking, farmers are also
victims of the pandemic and have also suffered great losses.
Today the community gave out free vegetables to several
neighborhoods. Those who came to collect them could get broccoli and
a handful of red and green peppers (there were also white radishes but
only a dozen in total). The quantity is limited, first come, first served, and
when it’s gone, it’s gone. It was heartbreaking to see those older men who
usually have a calm demeanor picking up the pace to the line to get their
vegetables. The residents of this area have a good income. In the past, no
one wanted these low-quality foods even if they were delivered to their
door. But anyway, thanks to the kind people who donated these
vegetables, they are saving us. Thank you!
I have always heard people say that it is not the time to enjoy life in
recent days. It is a victory if we survive. If this is our goal, then nine out
of ten times, people will die for sure. I don’t understand how those people
think. Their lack of common sense is the problem.
The community calls on CCP party members to pay a special party
member fee, but it is not mandatory. I heard that one CCP member
resident paid ￥5,000.
This month’s salary has not yet been paid.
I heard that the government had issued a document to give 3,000
yuan of relief to people from other cities stranded in Wuhan. I also heard
that this relief would be paid for by the community service center first. I
don’t know if it’s true, but the policy of 3000 yuan is definitely there to
give those needed people.
Cigarettes were in short supply, and those priced below $20 a pack
could not see in-store at all. It is said that the tobacco companies are not
working, and the stores are out of stock. Don’t they know that some
people can lose their lives even if they don’t smoke?
I heard that a robber broke into the community service center last
night. Surprisingly, there are thieves at such times.
