Chapter 48 Treat
The onlookers did not try to stop her, and the crowd gradually quieted down. Since Tongya was able to get the candy out, she should not be fooling around.
But as time passed, Pangdun still had no reaction. It seemed that the situation was... not good.
The fat mother finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground. She didn't dare to cry out loud, but just covered her lips tightly and stared at the child on the ground.
Su Tong gritted her teeth and persisted in her actions. She made sure that Pangdun was still breathing when she arrived. The golden first aid for airway obstruction is four to ten minutes.
She did not dare to stop, and beads of sweat fell down her face. The threshing ground, which had been noisy just now, was surprisingly quiet at this moment.
The air seemed to be frozen.
Time passed by minute by minute, until Fatty let out a small cough...
Su Tong finally stopped and let out a long breath.
Xiao Shun shouted from the side: "Brother Pangdun has opened his eyes!" Everyone then reacted as if awakened.
Fatty's mother howled, "Ah——" and rushed over.
In an instant, Su Tong, who had lost his strength, was pushed aside. Everyone's attention was on Fatty, and no one paid attention to Su Tong anymore.
Except Zhang Yaping.
Zhang Yaping was in a state of shock from the beginning, from when Pangdun was stuck to when "Wu Tong" appeared.
To be precise, she was frightened by Fatty's appearance at first, and was shocked when "Wu Tong" rushed out.
She had seen "Wu Tong" from time to time before, but it was definitely not the same as what she saw now.
The current "Wu Tong" is still thin and frail, and his skin color is still yellowish, but his complexion has improved a lot. He is no longer skinny and bony. His facial contours have become softer, and his facial features have become noticeably brighter and more delicate.
Maybe because she always kept her head down and didn't dare to look people in the eye, no one paid attention to her facial features and didn't realize that she actually had a good-looking face...
Yes, her head, which was always lowered, is now raised. Not only that, her waist is straight and her back is upright, like a graceful green bamboo. People can't help but be attracted to her as soon as they see her. She is still the same person, but her temperament has changed drastically.
Also, her eyes were so calm and determined that even Brother Dongyang was helpless, but she was able to rescue him calmly.
No, how could "Wu Tong" know medical skills? Not only did she know, she also saved Fatty's life...
How is this possible!
How could this be something that the self-deprecating, cowardly, and despised "disaster star" and "nemesis" would do...
What exactly happened?
It's only been a month since I last saw her, how could there be such a big change in her?
Originally, Zhang Yaping was just a little uncomfortable because of the "watch" incident, but facing the current "Wu Tong", she really felt panic, the kind of panic that came from the bottom of her heart...
Fatty opened his eyes weakly, and Fatty's mother hugged him and cried. This sudden change made this country woman who regarded her son as her life completely lose her composure.
She didn't know what else to do except cry.
Xing Dongyang pushed through the crowd and looked at Pangdun carefully. His breathing had recovered but was still very weak, and his mental state was not right.
He looked back at Su Tong who was squeezed out of the crowd. Su Tong finally found an opportunity and said:
"Hurry up and send him to the hospital for a full-body check-up! He was suffocated for too long, and I'm afraid he may have brain damage!"
Xing Dongyang nodded and said to Fatty's mother:
"Mom, stop crying! Go home quickly to pack some things and get some money. Pangdun needs to go to the hospital. I'll go drive the tractor!"
Fatty’s mother was stunned for a moment before she reacted and nodded repeatedly.
Nothing is more important than her baby son. She has to send him to the hospital for a thorough check-up.
Xing Dongyang rushed to the village office to drive the car, and Pangdun was carried by several villagers to the main road. Pangdun's mother hurried home to pack up, and the other onlookers gradually dispersed, but they glanced at Su Tong from time to time and whispered a few words from time to time.
From beginning to end, no one came over to say anything, let alone thank her. They didn't even say a word. They avoided her like the plague.
Su Tong shook his almost powerless arms and smiled at Shi Tou who was still standing there stupidly.
Shitou finally reacted and ran over to help Su Tong, who was still sitting on the ground.
"Sister Tongya! You are amazing! You saved Fatty! I was so scared when I first saw him, I thought he was going to be stuck to death!"
Su Tong said: "If we delay any longer, I'm afraid we won't be able to save him!"
Shi Tou looked at Su Tong with admiration in his eyes.
"Sister Tongya, you are so amazing! You can catch pheasants and save people! Are you still the Sister Tongya I know? Why do I feel like I have never known you before..."
Shitou opened his mouth and kept talking.
"Sister Tongya, can I become your disciple?"
"Where did you learn that?"
"That's what it says in the picture book. If you're looking for a master, you have to find the best one!"
…
The two chatted idly while dragging the bamboo back home, not bothering to care whether anyone saw them.
It was still early, so Su Tong stopped Shitou from helping her trim the bamboo and asked him to come over in the evening.
Su Tong started to get busy early as he was going to invite people to dinner in the evening.
The rabbit was prepared and hung on the beam yesterday. Today, I drained the moisture and added flavor to it. It is perfect for stir-frying or stewing.
The ingredients are limited, so we can only talk about the portion but not the quantity.
After Shitou finished his work at home, he found an excuse and hurried out. As soon as he entered Su Tong's yard, he smelled a strong fragrance.
He rushed into the kitchen and saw a large bowl of braised rabbit meat on the stove. There was also a pot of rabbit soup bubbling in the pot. Some herbs he didn't recognize were added to it, and there was white steam... His saliva couldn't help but flow.
When Ma Daming finished work, he thought about coming over as promised to Tong Ya, but when he pushed the door open, he saw his son standing under the eaves, holding a long meat bone and gnawing on it...
Her face was covered with oil from chewing, and it tasted so good! She didn't even see him come in.
He was so angry, this bastard! Why did he come here to eat and drink?
And they eat meat!
"Ma Qingyan——"
Ma Daming shouted loudly and rushed over in three or two steps, scaring Shitou so much that he almost dropped the rabbit leg in his hand. He turned around and rushed to the kitchen.
"Sister Tongya, help me!"
When Su Tong heard the noise, he ran out quickly, stopped Ma Daming, and pointed towards the yard.
"Shitou helped me cut bamboo, so I'll treat him to a meal!"
Ma Daming looked back at the bamboo piled in the yard, and his anger subsided a little. But then he changed his mind and thought, it’s fine to help with some work, but eating other people’s meat, it’s not easy to get some meat these days…
Just as he was about to get angry again, Su Tong pointed into the main room and said with a smile:
"I was lucky today when I went up the mountain. I caught a rabbit without spending a penny. It's just enough for a snack."
Ma Daming looked at the square table and exclaimed!
A big earthen bowl and several large bowls were piled high. Although he could not see clearly, the fragrance came over him in waves, and even he almost drooled.
Su Tong invited at the right time:
"Uncle Ma, I asked you to come here because I wanted to treat you to a meal. Thank you for taking care of me. Look, I made the meal on time."
Ma Daming was stunned, his face flushed, "This is not necessary! This is so embarrassing!"
"If necessary, there won't be many people in this village willing to help me!"
Su Tong smiled and continued:
"I'm counting on you to help me make the kang."
Having said that, Ma Daming was no longer polite, "Okay, I'll take advantage of you today, girl, and have some meat."
Although Ma Daming would catch some game from time to time, he would never eat it! He would secretly sell it to exchange for some oil, salt and food. In this day and age, feeding the family is the top priority, and eating meat is really a luxury.
When he sat down at the table, he was still a little dumbfounded.
On the table was a large bowl of braised rabbit meat, a large earthen bowl of stewed rabbit meat, a large bowl of green something, a large bowl of scrambled eggs, and a large earthen bowl of egg soup!
Not only are the bowls and pots big, but the portions of the dishes are really big!
Ma Daming's heart ached when he saw this. This girl really didn't know how to live. With just this table full of food, she could eat it till the New Year if she was frugal.
"Tongya, you can't finish this!"
"It's okay, there are still people here!"
Su Tong went out to the yard to call Lao Qi and Lao Lin, but the two old men refused to come. With outsiders present, they were afraid that the bad influence would implicate Su Tong.
Ma Daming heard the noise outside. Although he did not agree with Tong Ya getting too close to these two "stinky old nines", he was not a pedantic person.
When I thought about it, the two old men were now staying in Tongya's yard. If I could get along better with them, they could help Tongya with more work. They could also help give her courage if anything happened. I could just close the door and not let the villagers know.
Ma Daming also greeted them, and Lao Qi and Lao Lin then moved over hesitantly and sat down at the square table.
Su Tong asked Shitou to help serve the rice. Oh, it was actually shiny white rice. Ma Daming gasped:
"Girl, how can you not know how to live? This rice should be mixed with cornmeal. Eating it like this is such a waste of food!"
Su Tong smiled and didn't explain much, "Uncle Ma, I usually do this, but it's just today. Isn't this the first time I'm treating you to a meal?"
Lao Lin and Lao Qi looked at each other secretly. They had not eaten coarse grains since they started eating with Su Tong.
When everyone picked up their bowls and prepared to eat, there was another knock on the gate.
All eyes immediately focused on Su Tong. When did this girl become so popular?
Su Tong thought, most likely it was Wu Qiuyu who came. She originally thought she would be able to get away at night...
But it doesn’t matter, we can eat together now.
When the gate was opened, the person standing outside was not Qiuyu, but Xing Dongyang.
