Chapter 987 Koi Heroine 51

"What prosthesis?"

"It's a prosthetic leg. If dad gets a prosthetic leg, he won't have to use crutches anymore."

"And... there are artificial legs?" A ray of light shot out from the depths of Yao Xili's eyes, but soon the light went out, "Will the artificial legs be very expensive?"

"It's not expensive, Dad. Let's go ask the doctor first."

Yuanchun pushed open the door of the orthopedic clinic and walked in with Yao Xili.

Ten minutes later, Yao Xili learned that it would cost two thousand yuan to install a prosthetic leg. He was so scared that he quickly stood up and left.

Yuanchun pulled him and said, "Dad, two thousand yuan is worth it to get a leg. Don't be reluctant. I will make a lot of money for you in the future. Dad, just get one?"

"No, it's too expensive, and my family doesn't have that much money. My dear girl, let's wait until we have money before installing it."

Yao Xili was reluctant to get one for himself, but he asked the doctor carefully, "If your hospital can give me a prosthetic leg, can you give me a prosthetic arm?"

"Comrade, I'm sorry, but our hospital can only install prosthetic legs at the moment, not prosthetic arms. After all, hands are different from legs."

Legs are only used for walking. Once installed, they only need gravity. But hands are different. Hands must be flexible and all ten fingers must be able to move, even slowly.

But at present, the country has not yet developed a prosthetic hand with ten movable fingers.

Yao Xili nodded regretfully to the doctor and took Yuanchun out of the hospital.

After getting on the bus, Yao Xili said, "Good girl, don't tell your mother about the prosthesis when you go back."

"Got it, Dad."

There were artificial legs for sale, but no artificial hands. Yuanchun understood that he didn't want Li Erya to have hope and then be disappointed.

When the father and daughter returned home, it was almost dark.

Li Erya stood at the entrance of the alley, craning her neck and looking forward to something.

It was not until she saw the figures of the father and daughter from a distance that she breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over to them, "Dad, dear girl, you're back. How are you? Did you buy the shoes?"

"Yes, Mom. The people from the shoe factory will deliver it to you tomorrow."

"Great, then our store can open the day after tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, let's go to the market tomorrow to buy some firecrackers, and have a good time the day after tomorrow."

The three of them had looks of anticipation for the day after tomorrow.

When she got home, Yuanchun took out a receipt from her bag and handed it to Li Erya, "Mom, this is the order for shoes. Look, there are three hundred pairs."

"so much?"

Li Erya held the thin paper in her hands as if it were a treasure and read it carefully.

She attended literacy classes and didn't know many words, but she could recognize numbers and some simple words.

"Six hundred dollars?"

"Well, Mom, that's the money for the shoes. In addition, I also customized a batch of shoes and paid a deposit of 300 yuan."

Yuanchun took out another receipt and showed it to her.

There was a sum of three hundred dollars written on it.

Li Erya was surprised, "My dear girl, where did our family get so much money?"

"Mom, didn't I draw a few shoe designs these days? The people at the shoe factory liked them, bought them, and gave me two thousand yuan."

"This... so much?"

Li Erya's mouth was so full of shock that two eggs could fit in it. "My dear girl, are those shoes of yours so valuable?"

"Of course. Those are the most precious design drawings. Whether a shoe factory can survive, make money, and sell well all depends on the design drawings of new shoes."

Yuanchun said with a little pride, "When our store opens, you and dad will be responsible for selling shoes, and I will be responsible for going to the shoe factory to customize shoes and select shoes. I will definitely make our shoe store business prosperous and make a lot of money."
