Chapter 22 Heimlich Maneuver [Part 2]

Liao Zikai didn’t get angry. He thought, all masters have a little bit of temper, so he didn’t mind and said, “Comrade, it’s not that I didn’t want to help, but I was also unsure. I was hesitating, and then you stepped in. I’m ashamed.” Oh, so it was because he wasn’t skilled enough! It’s true, although the Heimlich maneuver was promoted in the 1970s, not many people knew how to use it, and their methods weren’t very precise.

 If they had rushed in to help, they might have caused more harm. Thinking about it this way, Lin Yuexi felt relieved! Thinking about this, Lin Yuexi nodded slightly and said, “Doctor Liao, the key to the Heimlich maneuver is the accuracy of the technique and the control of the force. When you wrap your arms around the patient’s abdomen, the position must be accurate, two fingers above the navel, and then quickly and forcefully press upwards, using the instantaneous air current to push out the foreign object. However, this method also needs to be adjusted flexibly based on the patient’s age, body type, etc.

” Liao Zikai listened attentively, nodding occasionally, and quickly taking out a small notebook from his pocket to record the key points. Seeing this, Lin Yuexi added, “For children, the force should be relatively gentler to avoid unnecessary injuries.

Also, if the patient loses consciousness, you should call for other rescue forces while performing first aid.” Liao Zikai was full of gratitude and said, “Comrade, your explanation has been very enlightening. I’ve also encountered some first aid cases in the hospital, but it’s rare to see someone as skilled as you in using this method.” Lin Yuexi just smiled faintly, “Doctor Liao, just practice more and accumulate more experience. I have something else to do, so I’ll take my leave.” After saying that, she took her two children and was about to leave.

Liao Zikai quickly said, “Comrade, can you tell me your name and address? If I have any medical questions in the future, I can ask you.” Lin Yuexi thought for a moment and replied, “My name is Lin Yuexi. I live in Qinghe Village.

 But I’m busy with daily chores, so I may not have time to answer.” Liao Zikai hurriedly said, “I understand, I understand. Still, thank you.” Lin Yuexi took her children out of the restaurant. The sunlight fell on her, and she took a deep breath. Lu Ziyan asked curiously, “Mom, why did that uncle ask you so many questions?” Lin Yuexi smiled and replied, “Because Mom just saved that little friend, and the uncle wanted to learn how Mom saved him.

” Lu Xiyun blinked her big eyes and said, “Mom is so amazing!” Lin Yuexi touched their heads, “Now let’s go to the small commodities state-run store over there to buy a slingshot and a hair tie…” Lu Ziyan jumped excitedly, “Yes, yes, I finally have a slingshot!” Lu Xiyun also clapped her hands and laughed. The mother and children chatted and laughed as they walked into the small department store.

The store was full of goods, but compared to modern times, the variety was still limited. Lin Yuexi took her two children to the counter to look for a slingshot and a hair tie. Finally, they found a slingshot in a corner. It was a wooden slingshot with a fine workmanship and elastic rubber bands. Lin Yuexi pointed to it and asked the saleswoman, “Comrade, how much is this slingshot?” The saleswoman took a look and replied, “This slingshot is three cents, no ticket needed…” Lin Yuexi was relieved to hear that it didn’t need a ticket. She paid the money and handed the slingshot to Lu Ziyan.

Lu Ziyan was overjoyed, holding it tightly in his hand, a happy smile on his face. Then, Xiyun also found a hair tie. The hair ties were brightly colored, red, pink, and blue. Lin Yuexi let Xiyun choose. Lu Xiyun’s eyes sparkled and she chose a pink hair tie. Lin Yuexi paid five cents for the hair tie and tied it in Xiyun’s hair. This little girl suddenly became even more adorable. After buying these two things, Lin Yuexi took her two children to walk around the town, memorizing some of the town’s specialty products so that she could familiarize herself with the market in the future.

 After the mother and children happily strolled for a few hours, Lin Yuexi saw that it was getting late, so she took them to a secluded place and said to Ziyan and Xiyun, “Do you want new clothes? Do you want to eat the big white rabbit candy you saw earlier…” “Yes…” The two children answered in unison. “If you want them, then turn around and don’t peek…” “Okay…” Ziyan and Xiyun understood.

They knew that Mom was going to do magic again. Seeing them obediently turn around, Lin Yuexi quickly used her mind to move several pieces of fabric from her space, then took out two pounds of pork belly, a few pounds of rice, two packets of noodles, a pound of big white rabbit candy, a few cups, and some daily necessities, and put them in the backpack. She didn’t take much, as it would be hard to carry. She could always take more when she needed it. This was just for show, a process. In no time, the backpack was full.

Lin Yuexi then told the two children to turn around. The two children turned around and saw that the backpack was full of the food and daily necessities they needed, including fabric, scissors, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea… Both of them were stunned. Mom’s magic was so amazing. From now on, they wouldn’t have to go hungry anymore.

Seeing her two children stunned, Lin Yuexi quickly took out a few white rabbit candies and gave them to them, “You two eat two candies first. Now we’re going to find Old Man Xia’s oxcart and then go home. If anyone asks you where these things at home came from, you say they were bought with Dad’s allowance. Don’t say that Mom did magic…” “Mom, I know. If we tell anyone, your magic won’t work anymore, and we won’t be able to eat these good things anymore…” Lu Ziyan said. “Mom, don’t worry, Xiyun won’t tell anyone.

Xiyun loves Mom’s magic so much…” Lu Xiyun also said. “Yes, that’s right! In the future, Mom will not only make Ziyan and Xiyun eat and wear well, but also teach you to read and go to school…” “Really, Mom?…” The two children’s eyes lit up as they looked at their mother. They felt that their mother was more beautiful than ever at this moment. Lin Yuexi carried the backpack, holding one child by each hand, and returned to Old Man Xia’s oxcart. The two aunties and the two older women were already sitting on the oxcart. Only the two female intellectuals who got on halfway had not yet gotten on.

 Old Man Xia saw their backpack and said jokingly, “Comrade Lin, you’ve had a good harvest in town today!” Lin Yuexi smiled and replied, “Yes, I got some things for the children and the family.”

 “Good, good. You should get some things!” Old Man Xia said. “Third wife of the Lu family, didn’t your father-in-law leave you anything after he moved?” Zhang, the older woman, asked. “Auntie, no. Father-in-law and eldest brother took all the food and necessities…”
