Chapter 46 Fatty
Zhang Yaping walked in with a smile on her face, "Brother Dongyang! You just had dinner! I just happened to be passing by and came in to see if you were there?"
She was embarrassed to say that she had been there three times, but this was the only time he was at home.
"Oh! Are you planning to go to the commune? Is the literacy class going well? I've been busy these days. I wanted to go and listen to your lecture, but I haven't found the time."
Xing Dongyang didn't think much about it, and continued the conversation, handing her a chair.
Zhang Yaping took the chair and sat down. "Everything is going well. You go do your thing. Teacher Li will give a lecture this afternoon. I, I'm going to see if there's anything I can do to help."
"Then you sit for a while and wait for me to finish my meal. I also have to go to the commune in a while, so I can take you there." Xing Dongyang turned around, picked up the bowl and started eating.
Zhang Yaping just sat there, staring blankly at Xing Dongyang.
It has been almost three years since Xing Dongyang went to the countryside. He has a flat head that costs two cents at the village entrance and wears an ordinary blue cotton jacket, but his skin is still fair and his temperament is still noble and gentle. There seems to be no change in him. He is still so sunny and energetic. Several years of life in the countryside have not made him depressed or decadent.
If there is any change, it is that he has become more robust and his temperament is more stable. The training in the countryside has made him more outstanding and dazzling, and also made her fall in love with him more deeply.
Everyone in the village thought she and Xing Dongyang were a couple. Even the educated youth around her felt that Xing Dongyang cared about her more than anyone else. In fact, only she knew that Brother Dongyang had always treated her like a sister.
The parents of the two have been friends for many years, and they grew up together. She knows that her parents are happy to see her and Brother Dongyang succeed.
She firmly believed that the relationship between her and Brother Dongyang was irreplaceable. Even though Brother Dongyang only treated her as a sister now, their relationship would definitely be sublimated. It was just a matter of time.
But Tian Qingrong's words made her feel confused.
She knew Wu Tong, a girl with an inferiority complex to her core. She always hunched over with her head down, and was pale and thin. She didn't dare to look others in the eye. The news about her was either that she was a jinx or a disaster to her husband. She had been rejected several times at a young age. Nothing good happened to her.
Everyone else avoided Wu Tong, but Brother Dongyang would help Wu Tong. She was not surprised, Brother Dongyang was the kind of person who didn't care about worldly views, he only did what he wanted to do, and she was willing to help.
Because girls like Wu Tong are objects of disgust even in the countryside, and Brother Dongyang's help is absolutely just help, out of sympathy and pity, and there will never be any other elements included in it.
But Dongyang bought Wu Tong a watch, which made her feel uncomfortable. Giving her money or food was understandable, but why a watch? A watch was not a necessity, not to mention a watch with an imported movement worth more than a hundred yuan.
She had always expected Brother Dongyang to give her a watch, and had hinted at it, but Brother Dongyang never did.
She didn't think that Brother Dongyang would have any thoughts about Wu Tong. She was just worried that Brother Dongyang's kindness to her was not the only thing he showed. He was now showing this kindness to other people, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Xing Dongyang finished his meal in a few bites, cleaned up the kitchen a bit, and then called to Zhang Yaping, "Let's go!"
Xing Dongyang passed a half-worn 28-inch truck from the wall, and straddled it with his long legs, turning back to signal her to sit in. Zhang Yaping lowered her head and shyly sat in the back seat of the car.
This 28-bar bicycle was a second-hand one that Brother Dongyang bought the year he came here. Zhang Yaping knew that buying a new one wouldn't be a big deal given Brother Dongyang's financial situation, but he wasn't the type of person who would show off.
Zhang Yaping looked at Xing Dongyang's back. The more she looked, the more handsome he seemed to her, and the more she liked him.
After thinking for a while, she said, "Brother Dongyang, I heard that Wu Tong has been discharged from the hospital and is back?"
"She's back! The little girl has recovered well! She has even made a contribution. It's really impressive." Xing Dongyang's tone was very relieved.
"Then...then her marriage should not count, right?"
"Her marriage was a commercial one, which is illegal and of course cannot be counted."
"Brother Dongyang!" Zhang Yaping pursed her lips and said, "Wu Tong...she...she must have suffered a lot this time. If she needs help in the future, just tell me. It will be more convenient for me to help her!"
"Yaping, what did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly..." Xing Dongyang turned his head and asked, and his bicycle shook.
"I mean, I can go and help Wu Tong, but you're a gay, and it wouldn't be appropriate for you to have too much contact with her!" Zhang Yaping mustered up her courage and raised her voice.
Xing Dongyang laughed heartily and openly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a cry of surprise from the front.
A circle of people gathered in the threshing ground of the farmers in front, and some people kept running over there. The sounds of children crying and women screaming could be heard.
Xing Dongyang paused, then immediately accelerated and rushed forward.
When the two men pushed through the crowd and looked, they found the child named Fatty lying on the ground with his eyes rolled back. He was grabbing his throat and rolling on the ground, his face flushed red.
The fat mother screamed in fear and tried to help the child up, but the child was kicking and rolling around, and the mother couldn't get close to him.
There was a child of four or five years old sitting next to him, crying loudly. It turned out to be Xiaoshun.
Xing Dongyang pulled Xiaoshun up and asked, "Xiaoshun! What's wrong? What happened?"
Xiao Shun's eyes were filled with fear. He looked up and saw Xing Dongyang. He grabbed his clothes and pointed at the fat man on the ground and said, "Candy! He stole my candy... and then..."
Xing Dongyang immediately understood what was going on and hurriedly shouted to Fatty's mother, "Fatty's mother, stop shaking him! He's having trouble breathing now! The more you shake him, the worse it will get!"
Fatty's mother was so frightened that she had no idea what to do. As soon as Xing Dongyang said that, she quickly let go of her hand.
Xing Dongyang shouted to Fatty, "Fatty! Did the candy get stuck in your throat? If so, nod your head!"
Fatty's face was almost turning purple from holding back his anger, but he struggled to nod when he heard the question.
Xing Dongyang immediately stopped him and said, "You can't lie down. You have to stand up to get the candy out!"
Fatty was still conscious. He felt uncomfortable and wanted to be relieved quickly, so he didn't kick his legs. However, he had no strength left in his body. The people around him rushed over and helped him up.
Xing Dongyang held Fatty with one hand, letting him lean forward, and patted his back with the other hand, "Fatty, cough! Cough hard!"
Fatty's lips had turned blue. He tried to cough as Xing Dongyang had instructed, but he had no strength at all.
Fatty's mother was anxious and scared, and she cried out, "Help! Someone please save my Fatty! Help!"
