The weather was too cold, and Su Yuhe didn't like riding a bicycle, so she took the bus to the city with Xu Yun.
Su Yuhe was surprised to see many people gathered around the counter where wool sweaters were sold.
But think about it, finished scarves and sweaters are very expensive, a sweater costs more than ten yuan, but a pound of wool costs less than two yuan.
An adult scarf requires about 8 taels of wool, and a sweater can be knitted with more than two kilograms.
However, two yuan per pound of wool was not cheap, almost two days' wages, so people at that time were very clever. They knitted the white gloves given by the factory for labor and took them apart to use as wool to knit things.
Su Yuhe only found out about this after she returned to the city. Labor protection gloves are white, and it is unlucky to weave them in white, so they dyed them with pomegranate peels, which turned them yellow.
Xu Yun pulled Su Yuhe and finally squeezed in. There were people huddled in front of the counter. They grabbed a ball of wool, looked at it, and then looked at something else.
There's not much to choose from, there are only a few colors.
Su Yuhe looked at a ball of nice wool and reached out to grab it, but someone got there first. She looked up and saw that it was Yuan Lili.
The other person also looked over and found that it was Su Yuhe who pretended not to see anything and held the ball of wool in his arms.
Xu Yun was choosing the yarn he wanted and didn't notice Su Yuhe.
Su Yuhe didn't insist on taking that piece. She looked elsewhere and chose navy blue and army green wool again.
Ask the salesperson to pack four kilograms for her.
Xu Yun raised his head in surprise: "You bought so much?"
Before Su Yuhe could speak, Xu Yun nodded as if suddenly realizing something: "Is it for Jiang Linzhi?"
"Aren't you also weaving for Li Yan?"
The two smiled at each other and bought some wool.
Xu Yun only bought one pound of silk and knitted only one scarf.
Su Yuhe wanted to knit a sweater and a scarf for Jiang Lin. She went to search Jiang Lin's closet, but found only one sweater, which had become stiff from washing.
Including what he was wearing, there were only two at most.
After buying things, I went home. It was cold and I didn’t feel like shopping. I got off the car and was about to enter the village when I heard a loud noise coming from the river bank not far away.
It sounded like a lot of people were shouting.
Xu Yun pulled Su Yuhe over and said, "Let's go over and take a look. Why are there so many people? Maybe they're fishing."
If you make a hole in the ice of a frozen river, it is easy to catch fish.
Su Yuhe felt something was wrong. How long had it been snowing?
How could such a big river freeze so easily?
Halfway through the journey, I vaguely heard Jiang Lin's name:
"Jiang Lin, my Tiger Boy is still downstairs."
"There's one more, Jiang Lin, go down again!"
Su Yuhe quickened her pace and when she squeezed in, she only saw Jiang Lin's back as he jumped down. She shouted, "Jiang Lin!"
Jiang Lin didn't respond.
Su Yuhe's breath was choked, and she grabbed the hand of an aunt next to her: "Aunt, what's going on?"
"Su Zhiqing." The man took one look and instantly remembered that Su Zhiqing was Jiang Lin's girlfriend. He blurted out everything he knew, "A few careless kids came to play on the river, and the surface wasn't frozen, so two fell in. Jiang Lin just fished one out, and he's going down to get the other one now."
Su Yuhe looked at the river surface with thin ice floating on it and couldn't help but clench her hands. Brother Lin, why are you so stupid!
Please be alright!
"He's dead!" the woman on the ground screamed, rocking the child in her arms and crying with her eyes closed, "Save our Shi Gen!"
Su Yuhe looked down and saw that the little boy, who was about eleven or twelve years old, had a completely pale face, his clothes were wet, and his eyes were closed.
Su Yuhe looked at the river again and casually took off her cloth bag and gave it to Xu Yun.
She quickly walked over and squatted down: "Auntie, please let him go first."
Shi Gen's mother stopped crying when she heard this, quickly put him down, and held Su Yuhe tightly: "Su Zhiqing, you must save our Shi Gen!"
Su Yuhe pulled her hand away and knelt beside Hu Wa, patting him while checking his consciousness: "Wake up, can you hear me?"
Hu Wa did not respond. Su Yuhe quickly checked his breathing and pulse, and found that his breathing was weak.
Su Yuhe opened his mouth to see if there was anything foreign, quickly turned his head to the side, and unbuttoned the child's shirt.
Kneel beside the child, cross your fingers and hold your arms vertically, and press down on the center of the chest with the base of your palms. Count silently to more than thirty times, then pinch the child's nose and blow air into his mouth.
After the fifth repetition, Hu Wa coughed up water and slowly opened his eyes.
"Wake up!" someone shouted from the crowd, and then someone shouted, "They're coming up."
"Tiger Boy, my Tiger Boy!" Tiger Boy's mother rushed over and hugged her son.
Jiang Lin climbed up the shore, and no one cared whether he got up or how he got up.
Only Su Yuhe noticed it, and her eyes were sore with heartache. Su Yuhe saw Jiang Lin's face full of fatigue, and his body shivering from the cold, with his fingertips turning white as he clung to the shore.
Su Yuhe grabbed Jiang Lin's hand and said, "Come up quickly."
Jiang Lin climbed up and sat on the ground exhausted. In order to make it easier to get into the water, he took off his outer clothes, and his coarse cloth shirt stuck to his body wetly.
Su Yuhe noticed that he shivered and was anxious to take off his clothes.
Jiang Lin wanted to say that his clothes were right next to him, and someone handed them to him. Su Yuhe recognized that they were Jiang Lin's clothes, took them and put them on Jiang Lin.
She glanced at the person who handed her the clothes. It was Tiezhu, who was saved by Su Yuhe when he had a heat stroke earlier. She said thank you, and Tiezhu smiled shyly without saying anything.
Su Yuhe blew air onto her hands, then reached out and rubbed Jiang Lin's neck vigorously, making his body warm.
Jiang Lin smiled faintly, his voice hoarse: "It's okay."
Just as Su Yuhe was about to say she wanted to go home, Tiger Boy's mother grabbed her and said, "Su Zhiqing, you have to save our Tiger Boy."
Hu Wa's mother held the cold and unconscious Hu Wa in her arms, feeling as if the sky had fallen. It was only when someone next to her reminded her that Su Yuhe had just saved Shi Gen who was also drowning.
Tiger Boy's mother's legs were very weak, so she hurriedly carried the child over and put him next to Su Yuhe, kneeling down and holding Su Yuhe's hand.
Su Yuhe didn't dare to delay and went to check Hu Wa's breathing, heartbeat and pulse first.
Breathing, heartbeat and pulse all stopped.
Tiger Boy had been in the water for too long, and the chances of first aid were slim within ten minutes.
Su Yuhe clenched her hands, swallowed hard, and looked at Hu Wa's mother sadly: "I'm sorry, I can't save her. She has been drowning for too long. You..."
"ah--"
Tiger Boy's mother broke down and burst into tears.
Su Yuhe asked Xu Yun to help her take the things back to the educated youth site, and she took Jiang Lin back to the Jiang family.
It was cold, the kang was heated at home, and there was hot water in the pot. As soon as Jiang Lin got home, Su Yuhe urged him to take a shower.
Su Yuhe cut a few slices of ginger, put in hot water, and it soon boiled. Afraid that the taste would be too strong, she added some brown sugar before serving it in a bowl.
He carried it to Jiang Lin's room and pushed the door open.
