"Trivia of Three Women" Unit 1: Epidemic

Ah Ching learned that her friend Ah Tao and her husband would travel to Malaysia. On the one hand, she was glad that they could leave Hong Kong temporarily to avoid the epidemic, but on the other hand, she was worried about the risks they would face in the cabin.

Before A Tao left, he said to A Qing in whatsapp, "If there are masks over there, do you want to buy a box? I remember you said a few days ago that the Japanese masks originally ordered online will not be available for the time being."

Since Hong Kong is already suffering from a shortage of masks, Ah Ching has few masks in stock, so she said, "Okay! If there are, you can buy a box for me. Have fun! Don't worry, think about tomorrow."

When Ah Tao arrived in Kuala Lumpur, he found that there were no masks available everywhere, but he still found two different brands of hand sanitizer, so he asked Ah Ching if he wanted to buy one on whatsapp.

"Buy more for yourself. Your son is young, so prepare more for him." Ah Qing plans to try not to go out. She still has some hand sanitizer at home. She doesn't want to take up Ah Tao's luggage space. Buy some for home use.

In the face of the increasingly severe epidemic, Ah Qing is grateful that her friends who have known her for many years can still take care of her. As the saying goes: "In adversity, you see the truth." These five simple words can already express the truest feelings of the world.

Five days later, Ah-Qing received a message from Ah Tao that they had returned to Hong Kong safely.

A Qing and A Tao will share the latest information on the epidemic in the whatsapp group from time to time (there are four people in this whatsapp group, namely A Qing, A Tao, A Jing and A Jie, the four of whom were most familiar with each other in high school After many years, they still meet irregularly and keep in touch frequently), usually A-Jing and A-Jie will give a simple response.

Two weeks later, Ah Ching suddenly remembered something from the past and wanted to ask Ah Ching, and she found that Ching had not responded very much in the group recently, so she couldn't help but be a little worried. So, Ah Qing sent a private message to Ah Jing to see if she would reply.

"Are you okay? Don't talk much in the group." Ah Qing asked.

"Actually, because I'm in Osaka now, I'll be returning to Hong Kong tomorrow."

"Then you should be careful!" Ah Qing said.

Ah Jing returned an ok sign to her.

Ah Qing suddenly felt that her worries were unnecessary. Usually when A-Jing travels abroad, she will always tell her, ask her if she has any relevant travel books, and ask her to give her some itinerary suggestions. This time, Ah Jing went to Japan for a trip, but she didn't mention it at all. She was a little surprised, but that's okay, at least she knew that Ah Jing was safe and sound.

In the next few days, Ah Qing was always uncomfortable, so she confided her thoughts to Ah Tao on whatsapp.

Atao said: "I can't buy masks around now. I hope I can make more masks for the people around me. I hope everyone is safe! Sometimes I feel very lost, and when I feel lost, I drink coffee and eat chocolate. Now that the epidemic is serious, everyone must support each other.”

A-Tao Zhengzheng expressed A-Qing's thoughts, so A-Qing replied, "You are so kind! At this time, it is easiest to feel who is a real friend."

Ah Qing looked up at Zhong, it was time to cook again, so she hurriedly ended the conversation.

Although the epidemic has disrupted their original lives, some office workers do not need to go back to the company, but instead stay at home to continue working, and students have all suspended classes. However, the life of Ah Qing's family is still very regular, getting up and eating on time. Three meals in the morning, three meals in the evening, bathing... Only in this way can you be motivated and fight against the epidemic for a long time.

"I hope the epidemic will pass soon." Ah Qing prayed in her heart.
