I Reached the Pinnacle of Life in the 60s by Raising Children

Li Qingyun transmigrated into a book she had read, becoming the male supporting character's early-deceased, vicious biological mother. She took on the responsibility of caring for and educating...

Chapter 31 Saving a Life

Li Qingyun slept comfortably. When she woke up, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Gu Tingzhou and the two children were playing in the main room.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Li Qingyun leaned against the door and watched the interaction between the father and his two sons.

"I didn't wake you up because you were sleeping so soundly. Thank you for your hard work these past two days."

Seeing that the father and son were having a good time, Li Qingyun went outside to prepare dinner.

I'm going to make a big bone, mung bean, and kelp soup tonight. I'll also steam a pot of dumplings as a staple food. If I don't make the leftover dumplings in the space, it will be difficult to take them out.

As soon as dinner was ready, Li Qingyun first filled a large bowl of soup with a large bone with meat, and then picked up thirty steamed dumplings, carrying them in a basket to send to her parents-in-law.

Yesterday, her parents-in-law gave her chicken and fish without asking for money, so she had to show some appreciation to make things more palatable to Brother Gu and his wife.

If the things weren't so heavy, she would have wanted Dabao to deliver it, but the basket was too heavy, and if the soup was so hot, it would be no joke if it spilled on her.

Li Qingyun was walking slowly with a basket in her hand when she suddenly heard a cry.

They were neighbors nearby. A group of people gathered at the door, looking around and talking about something. She instinctively moved closer to see what was going on.

"It's been a quarter of an hour. We've tried everything, but the little thing still hasn't come out. I'm afraid it's in great danger."

"Yeah, I shouldn't have listened to Gu Dasha just now. I used my fingers to dig it out, but instead of getting it out, it got stuck deep inside. The little brat was still able to breathe at first, but now he's almost suffocating."

"Who said it wasn't? Poor thing, Qiuju finally got this child after so much effort. It's such a sin."

"You are the only one who can do this. You just said to hold the child upside down, but he didn't vomit." Gu Dasha also retorted.

As these people talked, they moved away, fearing that the child would be blamed if he died. Each of them had just come up with an idea, but none of them could save the child.

I saw a young woman holding a child and slapping the child's back hard. The child's face turned red, his neck was thick, his eyes were wide open, and he was about to suffocate.

Oh no, there is a foreign object stuck in my throat and I’m choking.

Li Qingyun reacted immediately. She dropped the basket in her hand and rushed over.

Without time to explain, he snatched the child from the woman's hands, hugged the child's abdomen from behind according to the Heimlich maneuver, clenched one hand into a fist, and held the clenched hand with the other hand, and rapidly thrust and pressed on the child's abdomen. After repeating the thrusts for about ten times, the child finally retched and spat out something like a peach pit.

The woman next to her was stunned at first. Watching Li Qingyun rescuing the child, she secretly prayed in her heart that the child was safe. It was not until the child vomited out the foreign object that she suddenly collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.

The child saw his mother crying and started crying too. The mother and child cried together.

Li Qingyun stood there awkwardly, wanting to say something to comfort her, but felt she had no right to do so.

The people around who were watching the excitement talked even louder.

"Isn't this Tingzhou's wife? She has this ability. I thought the little brat couldn't be saved today."

"Yeah, I can't believe that Tingzhou's wife actually has this kind of awareness."

"Look at what you said. She is a military wife after all. I wish the little brat was alive. You really scared me into a cold sweat. A life was almost lost right in front of me."

Li Qingyun turned a deaf ear to what others were saying. She picked up her own basket and saw that some of the soup had spilled out, but it was no big deal, so she continued to go to her parents-in-law's house.

After walking about twenty meters, a woman's sobbing voice suddenly came from behind: "Thank you, Tingzhou family."

"You're welcome. Take the child to the clinic right away. With such a large nucleus stuck in his throat, I hope there's something wrong with it."

"Yes, yes," the woman agreed hurriedly.

Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.

Li Qingyun was in such a good mood that even the warm wind became gentle.

I hummed a song all the way to my in-laws' house, put my things down and prepared to leave.

Mother Gu said, "Take it back for the second child and the children. We don't need it. Besides, you've given us a lot of good things these days and made clothes for me and your father. You spent a lot of money. In a sense, we are taking advantage of you."

When Mother Gu knew that she was returning the chicken and fish from yesterday, she was very happy. She thought that her second son's wife finally understood the ways of the world.

But she had already collected the cloth and cotton for two suits of clothes, which must have been worth several tens of dollars.

"Just keep it if I give it to you." Li Qingyun hated being pushed around the most, so she spoke a little louder.

This actually frightened Gu's mother. This second son's wife rarely did anything and had such a bad temper. She didn't dare to say anything else and quickly freed up the bowl and basket and handed them to Li Qingyun.

When they got home, Gu Tingzhou had already prepared the meal, and Dabao was sitting at the table waiting obediently.

"Don't be so busy next time. Wait until your injury is healed, and you'll have something else to do."

"Nothing. Sit down and eat."

The three of them gnawed on the fragrant big bones, ate one oil-dregs dumpling at a time, and had a sip of kelp soup, feeling very happy.

Erbao was drooling and shouting "Ahhh" as he watched, but unfortunately there was nothing for him to eat.

Li Qingyun didn't know that in just such a short time, her glorious deeds had spread throughout Gujialing.

After dinner, everyone enjoyed the cool breeze and chatted, and the news spread around, making Li Qingyun like a fairy.

"You know, today the little one got stuck and couldn't get any help, so Tingzhou's wife went up and fixed it a few times and it healed it."

"You don't know, I saw with my own eyes today that the little brat was stuck and had died. Tingzhou's wife pressed on the little brat a few times and cured him."

"You're talking nonsense. He clearly touched me a few times."

In rural areas, even the smallest matter can cause a sensation in the whole village, let alone such an earth-shattering event that involves human lives.
