Chapter 22 Aunt Wang is Sick (2/2)



"It's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake. Eat something first, nephew, you should eat some too, I brought a lot."

"good."

Wang Shuo reached out and took it. Having already owed so much, Wang Shuo no longer wanted to argue with Yang Yufen about this meal.

What did the doctor say?

Yang Yufen helped feed Granny Wang, and after eating some food, Granny Wang fell asleep from exhaustion.

"The doctor said that once the fever subsides, everything will be fine. Luckily, we were brought in in time. After two days of IV fluids, we can go home once our condition stabilizes."

"That's good, that's good. It's really cold today. I bought two electric blankets yesterday. I'll bring one to my sister later."

Yang Yufen thought of her unused electric blanket.

"Then what will you use, ma'am?"

“That electric blanket is big, my daughter-in-law and I share one. You can’t go to the department store to buy one right now, so people are more important.”

Yang Yufen can send people over, but she certainly can't stay by their side every day. People with fevers are prone to recurring fevers, and they need someone to take care of their eating, drinking, and toileting needs every day.

Wang Shuo is also a professor, and when he's not conducting experiments, he has to teach students, so he must be extremely busy.

“I’ll buy it at the price, as if you helped me bring it. Thank you so much, Auntie. This is the money you paid for my medical expenses today. Please take it.”

"Okay, an electric blanket is twenty-five."

"Twenty-five? That's so cheap?"

"Hmm, it's quite warm. If this hospital had electricity, you could go back and get it from me later."

"I'll go ask the nurse."

Wang Shuo got up and went to find the nurse, then paid some of the electricity bill himself and got her permission.

When Wang Shuo received the electric blanket, he was still somewhat incredulous. Could it really be bought for just twenty-five yuan? If so, he had been far too careless in taking care of his elderly mother's suffering.

After Yang Yufen produced the purchase order, Wang Shuo believed her and deeply regretted his carelessness.

I rushed to the hospital with an electric blanket.

In the hospital, Aunt Wang woke up, shivering from the cold, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Even though I was covered with three blankets, I was still shivering.

Wang Shuo quickly picked up his elderly mother and asked the nurse to put on the electric blanket he had brought.

Wang Shuo felt heartbroken as he personally covered his mother with a blanket and stayed by her bedside.

The other patients in the ward were very envious of Grandma Wang for having such a filial son. When the doctor came over and saw that the electric blanket was working, he asked the nurse to wrap the patient in it, since it was such a big blanket and wrapping it in would make it more effective.

Department store

After selling two electric blankets, Li Xueguo found no one interested and thought that this might be the end of the day. He decided to close up shop early and figure out which factory to sell at the next day.

Then came the director of the supply and marketing cooperative. He placed an order for 300 units of goods. Although the profit margin was small, it was all about volume. If the cooperation went well, they could sell even more.

Since the department store wasn't doing much business anyway, Li Xueguo personally delivered the goods to the supply and marketing cooperative with his men.

After a night of snow, Li Xueguo led his men to the entrance of the textile factory and found a vendor selling roasted sweet potatoes. They went up and bought two roasted sweet potatoes to eat.

I also inquired about some information while I was at it.

Having learned roughly what time the textile factory employees finished get off work, he led his team to make preparations.

Why choose a textile factory? Because people in textile factories know better about the quality of blankets. Just by looking at the fabric on the stall, you won't think their prices are too high.
