Chapter 132: After Lao Dong passed away and had an idea, Huang Wangcheng quickly...
After coming up with the idea, Huang Wangcheng quickly contacted several classmates he knew at the fashion school and asked them to participate in fashion design as summer interns.
As the chief judge, Xu Heye also stays in the factory every day to design new models.
Again, she may not be very good at designing, but she knows how to appreciate and wear clothes, so she is the one who finds faults as a customer.
Dong Taohua and Xu Hui were also busy at home. Every morning after breakfast, they would take the bus to their new home. Da Wu and six workers spent two days buying all the renovation materials.
The couple followed along to help, and of course, also played a supervisory role.
After four or five busy days, Dong Taohua's vacation was over, and she had to buy a ticket back to Jiangxi Province. However, the day before she was to leave, Dong Kangtai ran to Zhangshu Lane with some very bad news—Old Dong had become paralyzed again!
His eyes were crooked and his mouth was twisted. He couldn't even speak. He was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
A group of people rushed to the hospital and waited outside the operating room. The surgery, which lasted seven hours from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m., was finally over.
"Doctor, how is my dad?" Dong Taohua hurried over.
The doctor pulled off his mask, revealing his face, red from covering it for so long. "The operation was a success, and the patient has been saved. However, he will need careful care to recover."
Dong Taohua was a little puzzled: "My dad had spinal surgery before, but the doctor said he had recovered well and can now walk, sit and stand. How could he suddenly become paralyzed again?"
Doctor: "The patient's paralysis this time is not due to spinal problems, but a stroke."
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, the doctor explained, "It's what we commonly call a stroke."
"Stroke patients are very susceptible to hypoxia and necrosis of brain tissue and nerves due to insufficient blood supply to the brain. The brain is a very amazing organ, with extremely delicate nerves that control the functions of every part of the body. When brain nerves die, patients may suffer from a range of problems such as hemiplegia, aphasia, and blindness."
"But, I went to see him a few days ago, and he was fine. How could he suddenly have a stroke?"
"The patient is in his seventies, an older age. Elderly people have fragile blood vessels, and coupled with underlying chronic conditions like high blood pressure and high cholesterol, they are at risk of sudden stroke. Furthermore, emotional excitement, excessive joy or sadness can also cause cerebral blood vessels to rupture, leading to a stroke."
"I'm very emotional." Dong Taohua turned her head and looked at her elder brother Dong Kangtai, who looked depressed.
Dong Kangtai covered his face and said, "I don't know either. I was just talking to..." He paused and said, "Who knows why he had a stroke!"
Wang Sumei: "Who knows? If you don't know, who would know?"
"If you hadn't been so busy fighting with your wife, would your father have been so angry that he had a stroke?"
Dai Ying: "Why are you blaming us? Don't you have any problems? How can the old man feel comfortable listening to all the sarcastic remarks at the dinner table every day?"
"Maybe he had a stroke because he was mad at you ungrateful bastards!"
As they talked, the two sides started arguing again. Originally, the atmosphere at home had improved a lot after Dai Ying found a job as a waitress.
After all, she and Liu Qiang's wife Ye Jiayi both have to go out to work.
Since being fired from the steel factory, Dong Kangtai has become a coward, staying in bed like a dead man every day. Except when he is starving and comes out to find something to eat, he stays in his room all the time.
Liu Qiang was better off because he was just fired for normal reasons and had not made any mistakes, so he still went out every day and tried to find a job.
Wang Sumei is the only adult woman in the family. Although she is also dissatisfied with everyone, she can't start a quarrel because she has no one to quarrel with.
Thus, a strange balance was formed in the entire Dong family.
This balance was broken when Dai Ying became unemployed again.
She and Wang Sumei couldn't stand each other, so they had a fight.
After the quarrel, he returned to the room and was displeased with Dong Kangtai, so he quarreled with him again.
This time the quarrel was particularly intense, and it finally came to the point of divorce. Both parties took their documents and prepared to go out. Mr. Dong was extremely anxious and wanted to mediate, but he could not walk fast enough and could not get a word in. In the end, he collapsed due to anxiety and had a stroke.
"That's enough." Dong Taohua snorted coldly and glanced at them. The two of them immediately stopped talking, not daring to say anything more. Dong Taohua had worked in the Women's Federation for many years, so she was there, especially when she looked sullen.
Before, they dared to show disrespect to Dong Taohua because, to put it bluntly, she needed their help. But now the situation has reversed, and the situation is naturally different.
Dong Taohua was too lazy to pay attention to them and looked at the doctor: "Doctor, can my father recover?"
"His life has been saved for now, but he's not out of danger yet. He'll be in the intensive care unit for a few days for observation, and he'll be released if he recovers well. However, the patient was brought in a little too late, and there's a lot of nerve necrosis.
With careful rehabilitation in the later stages, the hemiplegia and aphasia can be alleviated. However, even if the recovery is good, it will be difficult to return to the previous state.
"I understand, doctor, thank you." Dong Taohua frowned.
The doctor’s meaning was very clear: Mr. Dong’s life would still be in danger in the short term.
And even if he survives this ordeal, his hemiplegia and aphasia will be difficult to improve, and he will need someone to take good care of him.
But Dong Taohua glanced at Wang Sumei and Dong Kangtai, and thought of what Dong Xinghua had told him before.
Before, Mr. Dong had just undergone a minor operation and only needed to rest in bed for a month or two to recover, but he still developed bedsores. In his current condition, if they were to take care of him, it wouldn't take long before he would die.
Not long after, Lao Dong was transferred to the intensive care unit.
The sterile environment does not allow family members to visit, so Dong Taohua asked Xu Hui to send her daughter back to the rental house and planned to stay here to take care of her herself.
Xu Hui didn't refuse: "You watch first, I'll take my daughter home, and I'll bring breakfast in the morning to replace you."
"Okay." Xu Heye glanced at Old Dong in the glass house, then looked at her mother with a haggard face, and followed her father back to the rental house.
Back at the rental apartment, Xu Heye couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned until morning, and before dawn, she heard rustling sounds. Xu Hui, worried, hadn't gone home the previous night, sleeping on the floor instead.
He cooked the porridge, put it in an insulated box, and was about to go to the hospital when Xu Heye also climbed out of bed.
"Dad, I'll go to the hospital with you." She went to the hospital, not for Old Dong, but for her mother. Xu Heye had a premonition that Old Dong might not survive this ordeal.
For filial children, the most painful regret is when their parents are no longer around.
She had experienced it before, so she didn't want her mother to have any regrets. She was accompanying Dong Taohua with all her heart, so that even if something happened to Old Dong, her mother wouldn't be too sad.
Xu Heye stayed with her mother in the hospital for three consecutive days, watching Old Dong being smoothly transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward. The doctors who came to check on him said that he was recovering well.
Dong Taohua breathed a sigh of relief and stopped letting them come every day.
After all, everyone was busy, and she was the only one who had nothing to do. She asked for another month's leave from her company. After the company learned about Lao Dong's situation, they also expressed understanding and smoothly arranged for her to take unpaid leave.
In the next half month, under Dong Taohua's careful care, Old Dong's condition got better every day, and one day he even talked to Dong Taohua for a long time.
Just when Xu Heye thought her idea was wrong, Lao Dong was sent to the operating room again.
Cerebral hemorrhage.
But this time, the doctor tried to save him for a long time but still couldn't save his life.
After Old Dong passed away and the funeral, Dong Taohua fell seriously ill.
No matter how bad Old Dong was, he was still her only father. When parents are alive, children have a place to come from. When parents are gone, children only have a place to return to.
After recovering from her illness, Dong Taohua quickly regained her spirits. She still had a few days of vacation left, so she went to the new house with Xu Hui every day to see the decoration.
The decoration of the new house is nearing completion. Da Wu and his family have already painted the walls and laid tiles on the floor. The whole house is mainly white with beige embellishments. The water and electricity lines are hidden in the walls, making it look very neat and elegant.
Now there is only one last step left - buying furniture.
After buying the furniture, you can move into the house.
On the day the renovation was completed, Xu Heye came over to take a look and was very satisfied. Da Wu looked at the room with joy in his eyes. He also had another idea in his mind.
"Xu Xiaomei, when you pass by the house, can we take a few pictures?"
The furniture adds a touch of atmosphere to the entire room. Da Wu has a hunch that taking photos will make it more convincing when trying to convince other customers.
"No problem." It was a small matter. "But I hope you won't reveal any information about our family."
"Of course." Da Wu was a man of discretion. "Don't worry, I'll only take a few detailed pictures for others to refer to. I won't reveal your home's location."
Xu Hui and Dong Taohua spent a few days buying cabinets, sofas, and beds, then returned to Jiangxi Province together. As for appliances like refrigerators and washing machines, they planned to buy them in a few months, before moving in.
Xu Heye was left alone in the rental house again.
She was lost for two days, and then focused all her energy on the factory.
The Asian Games will open on September 22, and there is less than a month left. They have to hurry up and sell the sweatshirt sportswear sets made in the factory to dealers and retailers.
At the same time, Huang Wangcheng and several of his classmates designed more than ten sets of winter clothes, and they needed to select three or four sets as the main models.
