"Liu Zhen, look, Fangzi is dying!"
Yu Xiangnian looked in the direction of the sound and saw several women in a panic. They were laughing just now, but now they were about to cry.
"Fangzi, what's wrong with you?" A woman shook the girl in her arms in panic. The girl's face was blue and purple, her mouth was slightly open, and she was in great pain.
Isn’t this Sister Liu Zhen and her youngest child who live next door to her?
"Fangzi!" Liu Zhen continued to shake her head, "Fangzi, don't scare me!"
The women surrounding the child were all at a loss. "Oh no! What should we do? The hospital is so far away! I'm afraid the child is going to die!"
Liu Zhen burst into tears, "Fangzi, don't scare me!"
When Yu Xiangnian saw this scene, he didn't think much about it. He reflexively pushed everyone away and squeezed in front of the little girl.
One look at the symptoms and you know it's airway obstruction. Maybe these people were busy chatting and didn't notice the child, who was almost dead.
Yu Xiangnian took the child from Liu Zhen's arms. Liu Zhen was already panicked and could only cry.
The woman beside him cursed anxiously and angrily: "You evil woman, what are you doing? Don't look for trouble now!"
Liu Zhen also reacted at this time and hurried over to grab the child.
"If you want to save her, don't move!" Yu Xiangnian shouted, frightening Liu Zhen. She still stretched out her hands, really not daring to move.
"Yu...Yu Xiangnian, I tell you, this is a human life. If you dare to do anything, we will go to the army to sue you!" A woman said bravely.
The other women chimed in, "That's right, we're going to sue you! Don't bully others just because you're from your mother's family!"
Yu Xiangnian didn't bother to care about these people. She glanced at everyone with a serious expression and said, "Stand away!"
The women cursed, but their bodies were so frightened that they took two steps back.
"This evil woman has such a bad conscience. Fangzi is only five years old!" Another woman said with great sorrow.
Yu Xiangnian held the child, leaned the child's back against his chest, put his hands around the child's abdomen, clenched one hand into a fist and the other into a palm, and pressed the child's abdomen hard.
With a "click", a hard fruit candy ejected from the child's mouth and landed on the carriage with a crisp sound, followed by the little girl's cry of "wow".
The women: “...” They were stunned!
Yu Xiangnian returned the child to Sister-in-law Liu Zhen and said, "The child got something stuck while eating. Be careful next time."
Liu Zhen hugged her child and started crying again. The mother and daughter cried together. Yu Xiangnian glanced at everyone, walked to the outside with an expressionless face, and continued to enjoy the scenery.
The women were whispering again.
"How did this evil woman know that Fangzi had something stuck in her throat?"
"It's just a guess! She did this just to attract everyone's attention."
"Don't say that. If it weren't for her, Fangzi might have died."
"Well, it's a good thing after all."
“···”
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the street garden and everyone got off.
Other women would go to the city to buy things in groups of two or three, but Xiang Nian was alone and she had no friends here.
She went to the department store and wanted to buy two sets of clothes for Xiaojie, but the child's pants were too short to reach above his ankles.
After walking around, I found that they didn’t sell complete sets of clothes.
There was no choice but to buy cloth, but she didn't know how many meters of cloth were needed to sew a set of clothes.
Sales clerks nowadays are quite arrogant. When you ask them, they just ignore you.
Yu Xiangnian could only buy two kinds of the best cloth, floral cloth at two yuan and thirty cents per meter, and Dacron at three yuan and fifty cents per meter. She bought two meters of each.
Taking the purchased cloth, he went to the shop where the original owner used to make clothes.
Private business is not allowed now, so finding someone to sew clothes for you is like meeting with an underground party member.
In a remote alley, Yu Xiangnian knocked on the door, and a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old opened the door.
The little girl stuck her head out and looked around. Seeing no one, she asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Aunt Sun."
The little girl looked at the cloth Yu Xiangnian was holding and asked, "Withered vines, old trees, and crows."
"Make a pair of long johns and go home."
"When will the bright moon appear?"
"I like to eat pig's head."
Only after the secret codes matched did the little girl open the door.
As soon as Aunt Sun saw Yu Xiangnian, she knew business was coming. "Miss, what kind of skirt are you making today?"
Yu Xiangnian put down the cloth and gestured at Xiaojie's body shape.
Aunt Sun spread out the cloth and asked, "How many sets do you want to make?"
"Two sets, are they enough?"
"Four feet of cloth is enough for a child this age to make a set of clothes. You each bought six feet. I can make you two sets of clothes and two pairs of trousers. Children often wear out trousers."
"Okay, you decide!"
Yu Xiangnian paid four dollars for the processing fee, and it was almost time for lunch.
She went to the state-owned canteen and ate a bowl of wonton, which cost thirty cents a bowl, and bought four meat buns, preparing to take them back for Cheng Jingmo and Xiaojie.
When they came to the department store again, she bought Xiaojie a pair of rubber shoes for three yuan and a pair of sandals for two and thirty yuan.
I also bought ten small bowls, ten large bowls, five enamel pots, and two kettles, which cost me ten yuan in total. I also used the cake tickets and candy tickets, plus two yuan and eighty cents, to buy two kilograms of cakes and two kilograms of White Rabbit milk candy.
Finally, I bought three sanitary belts and five packs of toilet paper, spending five dollars.
After buying these necessities, I only have five dollars left in my pocket.
Thinking that he still had to buy soap and vanishing cream for Baimei, Yu Xiangnian smiled maliciously.
There were two kinds of soap: ordinary soap, which cost sixty cents a piece, and milk soap, which cost eighty cents a piece. There were also two kinds of vanishing cream: Friendship brand, which cost one and a half cents a bag, and Shanghai brand, which cost one and eighty cents a bag.
Yu Xiangnian asked the salesperson to get her milk soap and Shanghai brand vanishing cream. It was a pity that there were no more expensive ones, otherwise she would have bought her the most expensive ones.
After buying everything he needed, Yu Xiangnian felt embarrassed when he saw the counter full of things.
When she came here, she thought it was unfashionable for women to carry baskets on their backs while shopping. Now, she thinks about it and realizes how wise they are.
"Um, do you have any backpacks for sale?" Yu Xiangnian asked the salesperson.
"No!" the salesperson said in a cold tone.
So how was she going to take these things away?
As I was anxiously looking for help, I saw a man in green military uniform walk into the department store.
Hey! This cheap husband showed up just in time!
But what is he buying during working hours?
Cheng Jingmo didn't notice Yu Xiangnian. He walked straight to the counter selling cigarettes and alcohol.
Yu Xiangnian followed.
Cheng Jingmo asked the waiter to bring two bottles of wine and two cans of tea.
Those waiters who were cold and stern to her changed their attitude towards Cheng Jingmo, and their mouths were almost grinning to their ears!
The wine and tea Cheng Jingmo bought were not the best, but they were not cheap either. He spent thirty-six yuan on these two items.
Wow, he said he didn’t need money, but he spent so much money at once.
"Give me another four pounds of cakes."
Cheng Jingmo put the wine and tea into a rope net bag, turned around to get the cakes, and almost bumped into Yu Xiangnian.
