Her crying attracted everyone in the brigade headquarters, especially Yang Chunqin, whose daughter was the doctor at the medical station. She was worried that the doctor might be bullied.
Yang Chunqin was the first to rush over, shouting, "What happened? What's going on?"
Yang Chunqin's heart pounded. Could it be that her daughter had made things worse for the person? Although she thought it was impossible, there were plenty of unreasonable old women in the countryside who would throw mud at people.
At this moment, Mu Jingheng was already standing next to Xu Xinning.
Xu Xinning: "Mom, it's okay. The child had a piece of fruit stuck in his throat and couldn't breathe, but he's fine now."
Yang Chunqin: "Did you choke on a piece of fruit?"
Yang Chunqin had actually witnessed this when she was a child; the grass on that person's grave was probably taller than her now.
However, Yang Chunqin can never forget the scene at that time; she still finds it terrifying when she thinks about it now.
Xu Xinning nodded and pointed to the fruit on the ground, saying, "Look, that's the fruit."
When Yang Chunqin saw such a large fruit, she felt a chill run down her spine. If it weren't for her daughter, it could have been another life lost!
Yang Chunqin helped the child's grandmother, who was crying her eyes out, to sit on a stool, while Mu Jingheng picked up the child.
The child looked to be about four or five years old. He was dressed neatly, had a chubby face, and was very well cared for.
Seeing so many people, he looked around with wet eyes, and stopped crying.
Xu Xinning was worried that the fruit might scratch the child's throat, so she asked Mu Jingheng to cover the child's eyes and then have the child open their mouth wide so she could shine a flashlight on their throat to check.
Fortunately, the fruit has a smooth surface, so it will be fine after some rest.
The child is smart; he knew that Xu Xinning had saved him, and he opened his arms, wanting Xu Xinning to hug him.
Xu Xinning smiled, took the child, but the four or five-year-old child, who was well-fed, was quite heavy. She only held him for a moment before letting him down, and patted his head, saying, "You need to pay attention to what you eat in the future. I'll have Grandma make you something soft to eat these next few days."
The child obediently nodded and then leaned against his grandmother.
The grandfather and grandson left without spending a penny and expressed their deepest gratitude.
However, the onlookers did not leave for a long time. It is actually very common for children to get foreign objects stuck in their throats. In general, adults would induce vomiting, and there are many cases where children even stop breathing. So everyone was curious about how Xu Xinning managed to get such a big fruit out on its own.
Yang Chunqin, on the other hand, thought more deeply. She believed that if more people knew how to perform first aid, fewer tragedies would occur.
Yang Chunqin: "Darling, how did you get this fruit to grow? Was it difficult?"
Xu Xinning seemed to understand Yang Chunqin's intention and said, "It's a very simple method that anyone can learn."
Yang Chunqin was delighted to hear this: "Then you should teach everyone, who knows when they might need it."
"That's right, that's right," everyone replied, looking at Xu Xinning with expectant eyes, afraid that Xu Xinning would refuse to teach them.
This is a technical skill these days, and very few people would be so generous.
Xu Xinning: "Okay, I'll teach you all. Watch carefully."
Xu Xinning had Yang Chunqin as a model and then demonstrated the Heimlich method.
Xu Xinning: "Did you all see that?"
Scarface: "I can see, and my eyes might be able to fix it, but my hands can't!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
Xu Xinning: "Then everyone go to the yard and find your partners. I will teach you step by step."
"Great!" Everyone applauded happily.
Then, a series of Heimlich maneuvers were performed in the courtyard of the brigade headquarters.
Then more and more people came to learn, and Xu Xinning spent most of the afternoon teaching and correcting them.
The old accountant looked at the lively scene, his hands behind his back, grinning from ear to ear. He was certain that their brigade was now the most capable brigade in the commune, and he was so proud! He never thought he would live to see such a thriving scene.
Mu Jingheng went out early the next morning.
It has to be admitted that Mu Jingheng is a very capable person. He can do whatever he wants. Xu Xinning doesn't know where his connections come from. As far as she knows, the only connection the Mu family has in Qingyuan County seems to be her father, Xu Yaozu.
At noon, Xu Xinning's maternal grandfather came again, bringing a pound of cured pork, which was something the family had painstakingly saved up.
The Yang family felt that if even they couldn't afford meat, then other families couldn't either.
The maternal grandparents were worried that their granddaughter wouldn't have enough meat to eat, so they sent over their treasured food.
Grandma Xu: "My dear in-law, what are you doing? Every family is short of meat these days, and the children are all growing up, so we need to give them some extra nutrition."
Grandpa Yang: "We don't lack this food at home. They've always had plenty to eat."
Grandpa Xu: "To be honest, we still have some cured meat at home. When Zexi and Juecheng were here, they hunted wild boar in the mountains. Although it was all divided up, we kept some at home. You can take this back with you later."
Grandpa Yang was displeased: "There's no reason to take it back. I'm happy to give it to my grandson and granddaughter."
Grandma Xu: "Alright, alright, keep it."
Grandma Xu remembered that she still had rice noodles at home, so she thought of making some rice cakes to share between the two families.
Upon seeing Xu Xinning return, Grandpa Yang told her about the dead pigs on the farm.
Grandpa Yang said, “The farm got a batch of pesticides, which were diluted with water and sprayed. The crops grew well in the areas sprayed with pesticides, and even the pig feed grew well. The children were ignorant and cut all the pig feed. It was also due to the farm’s poor management. Otherwise, how could such a large area of pig feed not attract attention? It’s because the pigs ate the poisonous pig feed and someone happened to be there and poisoned it. That’s how things got so big.”
Cutting poisonous pig feed is understandable, but what about poisoning?
Xu Xinning: "What happened?"
Grandpa Yang sighed and said, "Speaking of which, you might even be related to one of the people involved."
Xu Xinning immediately thought of Xu Yaoyang. Could it be that Xu Yaoyang had offended someone?
Xu Xinning: "Who is it?"
Grandpa Yang: "She's the future mother-in-law of your second son's wife."
Xu Xinning exclaimed "Ah!" in disbelief.
Grandpa Yang: "Speaking of which, this woman is quite remarkable. She got involved with the deputy farm manager as soon as she arrived. As for whether they really had a relationship, nobody knows. It's all just hears the deputy farm manager's wife talking about it. But it's true that she became a team leader in the pig farm not long after she arrived. She and her daughter didn't suffer much because of that."
Xu Xinning asked curiously, "Then what about this poison?"
Old Master Yang sighed again and said, "The deputy farm manager's wife was furious and wanted to teach that woman a lesson. She thought it best to increase her punishment, remove her from her position as group leader, and send her to a more remote farm for reformation. So she added rat poison to the pig feed, and a lot of it. Otherwise, it wouldn't have harmed so many pigs. With the two things happening at the same time, wouldn't all the pigs on the farm be poisoned?"
