Chapter 9



Seeing that something was wrong, people around rushed over to help.

Jiang Xi also ran over quickly.

She was thin and agile. She rushed in and snatched the child who was being patted on the back by his mother in the blink of an eye. In the astonished eyes of everyone, she quickly turned the child's back to herself, put her arms around him, clenched her left fist, grasped her left wrist with her right hand, touched the area above her belly button, and pressed hard.

"What are you doing?!" The anxious mother was suddenly pushed away, and when she came to her senses, she tried to take her son back.

Fortunately, the object stuck in the child's trachea was not particularly large. Jiang Xi pressed twice and saw something being coughed out by the child. She let go of the child, and Shi Tou Niang quickly took her son back and continued to pat him: "Vomit it quickly, spit it out!"

"Cough, cough, cough... Mom! It hurts!" Shitou was hurt by being hit and coughed twice, making a sound, but his voice was very hoarse.

Shitou's mother was stunned, and someone beside her said, "It's spit out. He Jun's wife got it out for him. Shitou is fine!"

"Oh, I was so scared. Shitou's face looked so scary just now. I thought something was going to happen!"

"He Jun's wife is quite amazing. I didn't even see how she did it just now, but Shitou spitted out the stuff all of a sudden. It turned into a big meatball!"

As people around her were talking, Shitou's mother looked at her son. Her flushed face and bloodshot pupils had begun to recover. Her eyes turned red, her legs went limp, and she fell to the ground. She hugged her son and said with lingering fear, "I was scared to death!"

The stone was also quite frightened, so it remained silent.

Shi Tou Dad then relaxed and thanked Jiang Xi in a trembling voice: "He Jun's wife, thank you very much, thank you very much!"

"Yes, thank you so much!" Shi Tou Niang was helped to stand up and hurriedly thanked Jiang Xi, saying, "I was too anxious just now. I didn't mean to push you. Don't be angry."

Jiang Xi waved her hands: "Don't worry, as long as the child is fine."

Mother Pei was also worried. If something went wrong during the banquet, the two families would become enemies. Fortunately, nothing happened now. She supported Jiang Xi and smiled at Shitou Niang, "It's okay, it's okay. Watch carefully and remind the child not to eat too quickly. If my daughter-in-law didn't know some medical skills, something bad would have happened."

Shitou Niang was even more eager: "You know medical skills? I was wondering how she could be so amazing. Just now, no matter how I tapped her, it didn't work. She healed it with just one stroke!"

Mother Pei was somewhat proud: "Yes, Xiaoxi fixed Tieniu's son's dislocated arm yesterday, but she only knew a little bit."

"You can also treat dislocated joints?" An aunt from the Pei family was surprised and envious: "Then your family is blessed. You don't have to worry about any headaches or fevers in the future."

"Isn't it? Well, I won't say much to you. I still have to toast you. Eat and drink well. Don't be polite!" Pei's mother nodded, but did not stay here for long. She pulled Jiang Xi to continue toasting.

The others were still discussing: "It seems that He Jun's wife is really capable!"

"I heard it can also cure dislocations. Maybe I won't have to go to the hospital for headaches or fevers anymore!"

"Speaking of which, Tiedan Niang told me about this last night. I thought the Pei family was just bragging. I heard that he learned it from the old doctor. Maybe he can really become a barefoot doctor in the future."

"Oh my goodness, the Pei family has finally gotten what it takes to marry such a good daughter-in-law. No wonder her family members are unwilling to let her go. Fortunately, this girl is kind."

Xu Cui heard that everyone around her seemed to be praising Jiang Xi and envying the Pei family for having such a good daughter-in-law. She couldn't help but say sourly, "What's the point of being kind? She's so cold to her own mother and uncle. Who knows why she married into the family?"

As a sister-in-law, she should have helped because she was dissatisfied with this matter. She even treated herself as a guest and sat at the table today. Damn it, isn't Zhang Hu famous for being lazy and only caring about his sisters to support him? Why didn't he make a fuss today?

It would be a good idea to take that damn girl Jiang Xi away!

Because of this, she became more and more dissatisfied with Jiang Xi. She was even more unhappy when she heard others praising her. When she first got married, she never heard her mother-in-law praise her so much, let alone treat her so well.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, her deskmate retorted: "She is so capable, why would she care about that little bit of money? She is a high school graduate and pretty, so she can even marry a city guy and eat government food!"

Xu Cui was so angry: "Who in the city wants to--"

An auntie smiled and said, "Daughter-in-law Deming, I heard that Deming said he would not support your parents-in-law in their old age? You are really filial!"

Xu Cui's face flushed immediately, and she didn't dare to mention Jiang Xi again, and she said vaguely: "No, it's not true."

If you say this kind of thing privately, it may be a threat, but if others find out, it will become a scandal and you will be scolded and criticized!

Halfway through the banquet, the toasting session finally came to an end.

Jiang Xi went into the house to replace Pei's father who was taking care of Pei Hejun, and had dinner at the same time.

Pei's mother had specially reserved some meat dishes for her, and the portions were quite large. Jiang Xi had been hungry for a long time, so she held the bowl and ate seriously. However, when she glanced at the bed, she laughed out loud.

She protected her own face but failed to protect Pei Hejun's.

I don't know who did it, but Pei Hejun's thin cheeks were smeared with red, and his mouth was also painted red, like a monkey's butt, making his handsome face look a little funny.

Jiang Xi couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Do you know what your face looks like?"

Pei Hejun didn't respond, but Jiang Xi didn't mind. He ate while smiling. When he finished, he patted his stomach contentedly and gave him a massage while turning him over.

However, as soon as her hand touched his skin, the translucent panel of the system appeared in front of her eyes, and a few words appeared at the bottom: [Host's wife! You have successfully teamed up with the host! And completed a mission! ]

Jiang Xi was delighted, and he kept working. He saw a series of failed tasks on the task list in front of him. At the bottom was a task - [Task 9: Save a child who is about to suffocate, reward points: 20 (success)]

"Twenty?!" Jiang Xi was not happy this time, but surprised: "Why so many?"

It is worth all the rewards for the tasks that Pei Hejun completed unconsciously!

System: [The reward is determined based on the difficulty of the task. The harder the task, the greater the reward. If the host's wife fails in this task, the child will die.]

Having a blocked trachea is no joke. The thing stuck in that child's body was quite large. If it couldn't come out, he wouldn't be able to breathe and would suffocate to death.

Jiang Xi was thankful that although death was not uncommon, the child was stuck because of her wedding banquet. If something really happened, she would remember it for the rest of her life.

Then she looked at the system task again, but found that this task was different from the previous one.

What I saw in the past two days were mostly trivial matters, including children fighting.

But a small part of the mission today is about healing.

As soon as Jiang Xi asked the question, the system answered: [Because you, the host's wife, have special skills! This system will search for tasks that match you as much as possible, and your skills are very suitable for earning merit! ]

As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.

If she really became a doctor, she would save lives every day and the points she would earn would definitely be considerable.

Jiang Xi hadn't expected it to be like this. She became happier and her hands became more forceful in massaging Pei Hejun.

She had originally thought that she might have to go around the village looking for people who needed help, but she didn't expect that treating illnesses would also count! Then she just had to wait for others to come to her.

Jiang Xi was thinking happily, when suddenly she felt something strange in her hand.

She looked down and saw that the mattress under Pei Hejun was wet.

A vegetative patient cannot control his or her urination and defecation, and basically will excrete urine when needed. At this time, a caregiver is needed to deal with it in time, otherwise the skin is prone to erosion.

This is also a major difficulty in caring for vegetative patients.

As a doctor, Jiang Xi had seen this kind of situation many times. When she noticed it, she calmly went to get some water, changed his mattress, and wiped his body.

While Jiang Xi was processing it, the system suddenly said: [Hey! The host did it manually!!! Is he going to wake up? ]

The man lying flat on the bed seemed to have sensed something, and when someone was wiping his body, the fingers of his hands bent unnaturally, as if he wanted to grab something, but due to the limitations of his body, the movement was very small and he stopped.

Jiang Xi saw the words and said with a smile, "The muscles of a vegetative patient may occasionally move like this. It should be unconscious at the moment. There is no need to be alarmed."

System Lost: [Okay. ]

Jiang Xi wiped his body clean and changed him into a new diaper and pants. However, there were guests outside at that time, so she left the dirty clothes and mattress in the room without touching them.

Feeling a little bored, Jiang Xi took Pei Hejun's hand and talked to the system.

System: [Host wife, the mall has diapers that are particularly absorbent, do you want them? ]

Jiang Xi's eyes lit up: "Really? Won't it arouse suspicion from others?"

The system immediately said: [No, it is the same as ordinary diapers, but it absorbs water more strongly and can absorb water quickly, so the host wife does not have to clean it every time. ]

Jiang Xi said decisively: "Buy!"

The system happily opened the store and pointed to the diaper that cost ten points: [Confirm purchase?]

Ten points!

Jiang Xi felt a little pain in her heart, as this was a pound of meat, but thinking that it would be convenient for her, she immediately said, "Buy two."

The system became more alert. As soon as she finished speaking, the interface changed. Twenty points were deducted and the system asked: [Where should I put it?]

"I can choose the placement myself?" Jiang Xi was surprised.

System: [Of course you can. You can place ads anywhere you have been. You just cannot schedule the time for the ads.]

Jiang Xi smiled brightly. She was worried just now. She wanted to exchange some meat. She couldn't take it out of the house, right? If she could change the place, it would definitely be much more convenient. She said, "Just put it here. No one is around right now."

As soon as he finished speaking, two diapers appeared in front of Jiang Xi. The diapers were double-layered and felt soft when applied. The outside looked like ordinary cloth, while the inside seemed to be filled with cotton, making it very soft.

In order to confirm its water absorbency, she poured some water on her hands and then touched the diaper. As soon as she touched the diaper, the water was immediately absorbed and her hands felt very dry!

Jiang Xi was completely relieved. He stripped Pei Hejun's pants again, took out his original diaper, and changed into the one given by the system.

Now I don't have to worry about getting up in the middle of the night to clean up for Pei Hejun!

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the excitement outside was almost over.

Father Pei sent the last guest away. The rest were all family members. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he heard the pendulum in the room strike twice, his face suddenly changed: "It's over!"

Pei's mother slapped him on the arm: "What's the point of ending such a happy day?!"

Father Pei hurriedly said, "It's been so long, the third child must have peed."

At this time, Pei's mother's face changed, but her husband had always handled this aspect of her son's life, so she didn't follow in. She just watched anxiously, feeling worried.

Just now I was happy that my daughter-in-law was so determined to marry into the family in front of her family, but now I am afraid that she might dislike my son and want to leave.

Pei's father thought the same thing and rushed over to clean his son's body. However, he found dirty clothes in a wooden barrel beside him and his daughter-in-law was writing something at the desk. His son was lying there soundly with his pants dry.

Father Pei was stunned where he was, somewhat shocked and a little embarrassed for his son: "Xiaoxi, you changed it for the third child..."

Jiang Xi turned around and smiled, "Yes, Dad, are all the people outside gone?"

"Let's go." Father Pei came back to his senses and nodded quickly. He tilted his head, tears flashing in his eyes. He wiped them quickly and took the wooden bucket away quietly. He said in a gentle tone: "I'll go wash it. Xiaoxi, you don't have to watch over me all the time. You can come out and play."

"I know. Dad, go ahead and do your work. I will do it." Jiang Xi agreed, but did not move. Instead, he continued to write something at his desk.

She has a slim figure, one hand pressing on the paper and the other holding a pen, her back is straight and her profile is calm.

Father Pei thinks that his daughter-in-law looks bookish and cultured.

Such an educated person is actually willing to do such a thing!

Father Pei felt sad. Although his son and daughter-in-law were going to sleep together after the wedding banquet, he and his wife were worried that his daughter-in-law would not be able to accept the fact that her husband was a vegetative person who could not take care of himself. So they agreed from the beginning that he, as the father, would take care of these things. Who knew that his daughter-in-law didn't mind!

“I didn’t expect it! I didn’t expect it...hahahaha…” Father Pei muttered a few words and laughed foolishly.

Pei's mother, who had been waiting, asked anxiously, "Old man, what are you laughing at? How come you came out so quickly?"

Father Pei chuckled, raised the bucket a little, and said, "Your son has taken care of the creek. I just need to wash the clothes."

Mother Pei was stunned, her expression could not be stabilized, she cried and laughed and rushed over to grab the barrel: "I'll do it, you go to work, it's still early, you can earn half of the work points, your son doesn't need you anymore."

Father Pei was not annoyed. He walked out with his hands behind his back and brisk steps.

There is finally hope for this day!
