Dear uncle:
您好！
Hello!
今天是大年初一，我从广播电视中知道您们已经安全抵达武汉了，您走的时候正是家家户户，鞭炮齐鸣，阖家欢聚的时候，外公等待了一年，精心烹制香喷喷的新年糯米饭您还没来得及吃上一口，您望着糯米饭说了一句“算了，等我回来再吃吧”然后就匆忙奔赴前线。
Today is the first day of the new year. I know from the radio and television that you have arrived in Wuhan safely. When you leave, it's every family. Firecrackers are blaring. When the family get together, Grandpa waits for a year. You haven't had a bite of the delicious new year's glutinous rice. You look at the glutinous rice and say "forget it. I'll eat it when I come back." then you rush to the front Line.
我知道糯米饭是舅舅最喜欢的食品了,也是我们的年夜饭，是亲情链接的一缕纽带，是浙南新春佳节的重要食物之一。外公能把烹煮技术达到了炉火纯青，十里八乡很多乡亲都来向外公来请教。据说当年舅舅考上医学博士的时候外公开心极了，煮上三大锅分给乡亲们品尝。外公煮的糯米晶莹剔透，不黏牙，这个传承的技术想留给我们，教会我们。外公每次在煮之前把米先浸泡一个晚上，有用牛奶浸泡，有用鸡蛋水浸泡……然后放在柴锅里加适量的水，这个加水据说很有讲究，不能太多，也不能太少，灶台里添加的柴也要十分注意，什么时候用高火，什么时候用余温焖煮。每当快熟的时候5米就能闻到糯米饭散发出的香味，糯米盛出来摆在桌子上，小辈们睁大了眼睛忍住口水，屏住呼吸，等到外公往上浇上精心烧制的肉末汁说上几句新年祝福后，我们才大快朵颐地吃起来，吃的时候不能说话，这样会耽误吃的速度。哈哈，每次都被舅舅称为“精明的小吃货”。吃完后大家一起谈论交流工作学习的状况，温馨又甜蜜。每当舅舅谈论他们医院重症监护室的一些小插曲，我们瞪着眼睛认真地听着，生怕错过某个细节，您对生命的敬仰，职业的尊重，都让我很佩服，更敬佩舅舅渊博的知识，精湛的医术，也让我有了当医生的向往。
I know that glutinous rice is my uncle's favorite food. It's also our new year's Eve meal. It's a link between family ties and one of the important foods for the Spring Festival in southern Zhejiang. Grandpa can bring cooking technology to perfection. Many villagers come to ask grandpa for advice. It is said that grandpa was very happy when his uncle was admitted to the doctor's degree. He cooked three cauldrons for the villagers to taste. Grandpa cooked glutinous rice crystal clear, not sticky teeth, this inheritance of technology want to leave us, teach us. Grandpa soaked the rice for one night before cooking, with milk, egg water Then put some water in the wood pot. It's said that the water is very exquisite. It can't be too much or too little. Pay attention to the wood added in the stove. When to use the high fire and when to use the residual temperature to stew. When the rice is about to ripen, five meters can smell the fragrance of the rice. The rice is put on the table. The kids open their eyes to hold their saliva, hold their breath, and wait for grandpa to pour the meticulously cooked minced meat juice on it and say a few new year's greetings, then we can eat it. We can't talk when we eat it, which will delay the speed of eating. Ha ha, it is called "smart snack" by my uncle every time. After eating, we talked about the situation of work and study together, warm and sweet. Every time my uncle talks about some episodes in the intensive care unit of their hospital, we stare and listen carefully, for fear of missing a certain detail. Your respect for life and profession makes me admire him very much. I also admire my uncle's profound knowledge and superb medical skills, which makes me yearn to be a doctor.
每年春节您都留在医院重症监护室里值班，您说病人需要你。今年是您连续6年第一次在家过春节，外公让我们也赶过来一起过吃顿他糯米饭的手艺。
Every spring festival you stay on duty in the intensive care unit of the hospital. You say that patients need you. This year is the first time for you to celebrate the Spring Festival at home for six years in a row. Grandpa asked us to come here and have a meal of his glutinous rice.
当时您接到电话，面色凝重，不知道如何跟大家说的时候，是外公觉察到了您的变化，他老人家说“如果医院有事情，尽管去吧，工作要紧，病人要紧。”说完外公努力控制自己的情绪转过身，不让我们看见他难过的样子，当您说道要奔赴武汉的时候，外婆紧紧拉住您的手，眼里噙着泪，她在新闻中得知这种新型冠状病毒的厉害，每天死亡数据都不断攀升，有些一线医务工作者也没能幸免。表妹更是紧紧抱住您不让您去，舅妈呆呆坐在那里一句话也说不出来……
At that time, when you received the call, your face was solemn, and you didn't know how to tell everyone, it was grandpa who noticed your change. He said, "if there is something in the hospital, go ahead, work is important, and the patient is important." Novel coronavirus, when Grandpa said he was trying to control his emotions and turned away from us, he did not let us see his sad look. When you said he was going to Wuhan, grandma held your hand tightly and tears in her eyes. She learned that the new coronavirus was very strong in the news. The number of deaths every day has been climbing, and some front-line medical workers have not been spared. My cousin even hugged you tightly and didn't let you go. My aunt just sat there and couldn't say a word
我记得舅舅您理清情绪跟大家说了声“对不起！”然后从舅妈手中拿起行李包就出发了。外公、外婆、舅妈、表妹他们跑到厨房的窗口努力往下看，希望看到您的身影……
I remember Uncle, you cleared your mood and said "I'm sorry!" Then I picked up my bag from my aunt and set off. Grandpa, grandma, aunt and cousin run to the kitchen window and try to look down, hoping to see your figure
我知道他们内心和我一样，希望您能平安归来。我们在电视看到武汉的一线医生每天高负荷的加班加点地工作着，困了就直接卧在地上休息，吃的是方便面，我们内心酸溜溜的。只能在后方默默向最美的逆行者致敬。
I know their hearts are the same as mine. I hope you can come back safely. We saw on TV that the first-line doctors in Wuhan worked overtime every day. When they were sleepy, they would lie on the ground and rest. They ate instant noodles. Our hearts were sour. Only in the rear to pay homage to the most beautiful rebel.
舅舅无论在哪里，如果想起浓郁的糯米香来，就会想起家乡，那也就是快要归来的日子。
No matter where my uncle is, if I think of the strong smell of glutinous rice, I will think of my hometown, which is the day when I will return soon.
我们全家等待着您归来，还有那碗没有吃的糯米饭。
Our family is waiting for you to come back, and the bowl of glutinous rice that we didn't eat.
