The house under decoration is bare. This is the owner’s home, but now it is the foothold of he Mingzhong. More than a month ago, he and his wife packed quilts and set out from Jiangsu, riding a battery car, ready to work at the owner’s home in Baoshan District, Shanghai. They thought they would be able to go home in a week. Unexpectedly, they were trapped in the owner’s home because of the closure of the community. He can’t buy online. He can’t buy in groups like young people. In order to save money, he bought an electric rice cooker. He beat five or six eggs for a meal and divided a radish into two meals. Fortunately, the materials distributed by the community were replenished in time.

It’s always quiet outside. The only thing the couple can talk to is volunteers with a window account. He Mingzhong said that the only wish now is to unseal and go home.

Where he Ming and his wife cook.

Here is his dictation

“Where is so much money,

Just squat here and don’t go. “

I am 56 years old. I am a bricklayer. My hometown is Shiyan, Hubei Province. I used to farm in rural areas and came out to work as a bricklayer at the age of 33. Because Shanghai is an open place, I want to take a look. We work here to rent a house. At the junction of Shanghai and Jiangsu, it is on the territory of Kunshan. The house is two bedrooms and one living room. Together with a fellow countryman, their husband and wife live in one bedroom, and our husband and wife live in one bedroom. The kitchen and bathroom are public, 2000 yuan a month. There is only one road between the two places. We all buy vegetables and things here in Shanghai. If you work, sometimes in Shanghai and sometimes in Jiangsu, you’ll ride a battery car when you go out to work. If you’re farther away, we’ll take the quilt. If the road is close, you don’t have to take it. Go in the morning and go back after dark. We go out to work by relationship. You can do this kind of work. Friends, peers and owners trust you. If you leave your phone, someone will call you to work. Before March 13, I worked at Huaqiao (Kunshan). After finishing my work that day, our fellow villagers called and said he would get married and decorate his house. I said there was an epidemic now and I had to wait. He said that the epidemic in Shanghai was blocked and controlled in pieces. They haven’t closed here (xinjiayuan community in Baoshan District), so I came. Because the journey home is more than 20 kilometers and it takes more than an hour by battery car, my wife and I also took the quilt. But that night, when we finished our work and had a rest, the villagers called and said, you left in the morning, the flower bridge was closed tonight, and you can’t come back these days. I’m not worried. I just want to control the epidemic after one week’s work here. At that time, there was already an epidemic in the community across the road. A community was surrounded by cloth. There was a security guard at the gate and didn’t give up. In those days, we can go out to buy food in our community. We work here and don’t go around. We want to leave after we finish our work. Bricklayer is to paste wall and floor tiles in toilet and kitchen. (March) we will finish the work on the 20th. After that, the road over Huaqiao is blocked, so I have to go back. I called for advice. He said that you are in Shanghai now. You’d better not come back until the epidemic has passed. One way to go back is that we pay for isolation by ourselves. 300 yuan a day, 600 yuan for our husband and wife, and isolation for 14 days. That’s thousands of yuan. Where I have so much money, I’ll squat here first. When we came here, we brought two quilts and didn’t bring anything for cooking. We just want to buy some food in the street for a week. In those days, I ate in the street outside twice a day. On the 26th and 27th, the community should be sealed and controlled for nucleic acid. The neighborhood committee in the community shouted with a horn. Building by building is called nucleic acid. We joined their team and felt more comfortable when we wanted to be a nucleic acid. We also want to go back one day with nucleic acid proof, so it’s more convenient to go home.

“I can’t shop online,

We have to make food here every day. “

We were not allowed to go out in those two days. We didn’t have anything to cook. The owner bought me rice. Because I’m a little old, I can’t buy smartphones online. I will pay how much to go out for dinner. I said I wanted to eat, and he said he would book it for you. So in those two days, the owner ordered takeout and sent it to the door of the community. I thought it would be better for two days at the weekend. I can go out by myself on Monday. At that time, Shanghai began to seal and control from Pudong. This is Puxi. I thought Puxi could go out and buy. However, after Pudong began to close, the place finished the nucleic acid on Saturday and Sunday, and closed it together with Pudong on Monday, so it was not allowed to go out. I can’t make money this day. I still buy food outside every day. How can I have money? I can only buy an electric rice cooker outside. There is a small shop beside the fence of the community. I asked him (the owner of the shop). I said, is there an electric rice cooker in your shop? He said yes. I got an electric rice cooker and bought a bag of rice, oil, salt and noodles. At the beginning, we didn’t buy any vegetables. That dish was extremely expensive. We bought two plates of eggs and a kilogram of leek. We don’t have a pot or anything. We cook in this rice cooker. After the rice is scooped up, we beat eggs in the rice cooker to make egg soup and eat it like this. Now during the epidemic, you can simply live enough every day. It’s impossible to taste any good taste.

I usually sleep in the living room, spread the tiles and cardboard on the floor, and put the quilt on it. Now the main worry is that the water under the watered floor is certainly not dry well, and there will be moisture rising (emitting) when sleeping on it. Taking a bath is to use a small basin paved with ceramic tiles. When we started work, the owner sent a kettle, so we boiled a little water to wash.

The cardboard wrapping ceramic tiles and the quilt brought at home are the beds of Mr. and Mrs. he Mingzhong.

The red basin was used to lay ceramic tiles before. He Mingzhong washed it and took a bath.

At the end of March, I’m going to finish my eggs. I think what to do without food? The house was on the ground floor, and the volunteers could be seen at the door from the kitchen window. I called the aunt at the door and asked her how they (community residents) bought vegetables. She told me that they bought them online. I said I wouldn’t buy it online. What should I do? Then she said to help me see what I can do. Later, she sent me the ordering dishes over the property, 50 yuan a group. What are there, that is, a radish, a small bowl of cabbage, an onion and a bottle of vegetables
