When she got closer, she snatched the child from the woman's hands and patted the boy's back hard, trying to use the vibration to make the hard object slide down his throat, but this did not work.
The situation was critical, and Lin Yuexi acted quickly. She wrapped her arms around the boy's abdomen and squeezed upwards quickly and forcefully according to the Heimlich maneuver.
Once, twice, three times... every time I squeezed, I used all my strength, hoping to squeeze out the stuck hard object.
Finally, with Lin Yuexi's unremitting efforts, the hard object stuck in the little boy's throat was spit out with a "pop", and it turned out to be a medium-sized red date pit.
After spitting out the red date pit, the little boy burst into tears and gasped for breath.
The woman was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes when she saw this. She hugged the little boy and kept kissing his forehead, saying, "That's great, Tianqi, you're okay, thanks to this girl!"
Lin Yuexi looked at the safe and sound little boy, breathed a sigh of relief, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
She gently comforted the still crying little boy and the frightened woman: "It's okay, as long as the child is okay."
The diners around also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Yuexi with admiration. The waiter, who had originally had a cold expression towards Lin Yuexi, also looked at her with appreciation.
Lin Yuexi didn't care about the gazes of these people. She walked straight to the table and sat down, continuing to order food, as if the rescue incident had nothing to do with her at all.
"Comrade, order one braised pork, one meatball, one scrambled egg with tomatoes, and three small bowls of rice..."
"Okay, comrade, the braised pork is 0.6 yuan, and the meatballs are 0.3 yuan, but we need food stamps for the braised pork and meatballs. The scrambled eggs with tomatoes is 0.2 yuan, and no food stamps are needed...
"Comrade, I don't have a ticket. How about adding a little more money..." Lin Yuexi said. Damn it, why did she forget about the ticket?
"Comrade, I'm sorry, the supply of meat is tight. This store has regulations and you must have a ticket..." the waiter said in embarrassment.
She knew that this man was no simple person. She had never seen anyone use the method she used to save people before, but this was the store's rule and she could do nothing about it.
Lin Yuexi knew that the waitress was in a difficult situation, and was about to ask her to change to a dish that didn't require a ticket when the boy's mother came over and said, "Comrade, this girl just saved my son. I'll pay for her dish..."
The waiter grinned and said happily, "Okay! I'll arrange it now."
Lin Yuexi felt a little embarrassed!
She saved the person unintentionally, but this elder sister helped her out of her predicament, and she was very grateful.
I thought, people in this era, apart from the old Lu family, who are a bunch of snakes and rats and only pick on the weak, are really grateful and repay their kindness...
Thinking of this, he said, "Big sister, this is not a good idea! How about this! I will pay for the braised pork and meatballs, and you can just help me with the ticket..."
"Sister, that won't do. You saved my Tianqi today, which means you saved my whole family. You must treat me to this meal..."
After saying that, fearing that Lin Yuexi would refuse, he quickly ran to the counter to pay.
Then he walked over to Lin Yuexi and said, "Sister, my name is Fan Ke Ning, I work at the county grain station. I took my children back to my parents' home today. It was too late, so I wanted to have a meal in town before going back. I didn't expect this to happen. Today, I really have to thank you.
If you come to the county in the future, you can find me at the grain station..."
Lin Yuexi: "Sister Fan, you are too polite. My name is Lin Yuexi, I live in Qinghe Village, my husband is Lu Cheng, he is in the army..."
In this day and age, having a husband who is a soldier is a supreme honor, and the title of military spouse should be used well.
"Oh! Sister Yuexi, you are a military family member, no wonder you know medicine. You saved my son's life today, I want to thank you enough!" Sure enough, after hearing this, Fan Kening was in awe of Lin Yuexi.
"Sister Fan, I know a little bit about medicine, and it's just something I can do. Don't worry about it. Don't worry, I will come to the county town to find you if I have any problems in the future..."
"Okay, sister, I'll leave now. I'm still nearly twenty miles away from home. I have to find a bullock cart..."
"Okay, Sister Fan, have a safe trip!"
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then Fan Kening said goodbye and left.
At this time, the waiter had already brought the food.
When the two little guys saw the braised pork and meatballs, their eyes lit up and they reached out to grab them.
Lin Yuexi knew that the two kids had never seen such delicious meat before, and they were a little too much, so she quickly stopped them, "Zi Yan, Xi Yun, don't be in a hurry, eat the vegetables, eat the rice, use chopsticks, take your time, no one will snatch your food away."
As he spoke, he handed the chopsticks to the two of them.
When the two kids heard their mother say this, their faces turned red. "Mom, we got it. Mom, you eat it too..."
After saying that, Lu Ziyan put a piece of braised pork into Lin Yuexi's bowl.
Lin Yuexi looked at the braised pork in the bowl, a warm feeling surged in her heart and her eyes became slightly moist.
She gently touched Lu Ziyan's head, looked at the well-behaved Lu Xiyun, and said, "Ziyan and Xiyun are so good, let's eat together."
After saying that, she also picked up a meatball and put it into Xiyun's bowl.
The meal was particularly heartwarming. The two children ate voraciously but tried to remain polite. Lin Yuexi kept picking up food for them and reminding them to chew slowly.
In this era of relative material scarcity, such a meal with meat and vegetables was considered a sumptuous meal, and children could not resist the temptation.
While Lin Yuexi, her mother and her two sons were having dinner, Liao Zikai, who was sitting diagonally opposite them, had been observing them for a long time.
Liao Zikai witnessed the entire process, from coming in to order food to rescuing the little boy. As a doctor in a county hospital, facing the dangerous scene just now, he was not sure whether to save the child and was hesitating whether to go forward to rescue him. However, he was saved by a country woman. It was simply a miracle.
The skilled and confident technique clearly showed that of a doctor who had practiced medicine for many years. This left people completely puzzled. Could this be the legendary genius of folk medicine?
After finishing the meal, Lin Yuexi was about to walk out of the state-owned restaurant with her two children.
Liao Zikai couldn't sit still any longer, and just when Lin Yuexi was about to stand up, he walked over and said, "Hello, comrade! My name is Liao Zikai and I work at the county hospital. You used the Heimlich maneuver quite skillfully and in a special way just now. Can I ask you for advice..."
Lin Yuexi glanced at him and thought, although Liao Zikai is a doctor in the county hospital, he watched a dying person without saving him. This person has very poor medical ethics and is not worth making friends with.
"Oh! It's Doctor Liao! Thank you. As a doctor, it's your duty to save the dying and the wounded. But I don't know why you didn't help the child when he was in danger just now? And why are you blocking my way now?"
