On Sunday, they set out on their way home. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the way, Hans said while eating ice cream: "First go and dispose of the toys and send them to the grocery store, these are simple, especially the pile of dolls, sell them quickly." ”

Li Du asked, "Why are you afraid of dolls?"

Hans laughed and said, "What are you kidding? I'm going to be scared of dolls? What are those Barbie dolls afraid of? I'm not afraid, I just don't like them, I hate them!"

"You're just scared, otherwise you wouldn't explain so much. Crain, who was driving, said.

Hans glared at him and said, "Concentrate on driving, don't talk nonsense!"

Li Du said: "If you don't want to say it, forget it, but Barbie can't be sold." ”

Hans exclaimed, "What are you going to do if you don't sell it?"

Seeing Li Du staring at him with a strange gaze, he laughed dryly and said, "Okay, I admit it, I'm afraid of those dolls, don't you think this thing is terrifying? They are humanoid and not human, lifeless expressions, false smiles, lifeless eyes, Fake!"

In the end, he kicked on the bridge to vent his fear.

Li Du patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have watched too many horror movies, and you will watch less of those things that are inappropriate for children in the future." Also, occasionally studying the uncanny valley theory will help you overcome this mentality. ”

"I don't have to study any theories, you haven't said what you're going to do with these dolls. ”

Li Du smiled mysteriously: "Set up a suspense, and you'll know when you reach the destination." ”

The destination is naturally Mesa's mother's home, and the car enters Flagpole City just past the suburbs, Hans is very familiar with this welfare home, and when he sees the direction of the car, he understands Li Du's purpose.

"You're going to give these Barbie dolls to the kids inside?"

"Why not? Most of these dolls are not even unpacked, they are brand new, why should they be sold as second-hand? Children want to have new Barbie dolls, so why don't we give them away?" Li Du said.

It's not good to give away second-hand goods as gifts in China's cultural environment, but in the United States it's perfectly fine, Americans are pragmatists, and as long as things can be used, whether they are new or used, everyone treats them with the same eyes.

So, there are a lot of second-hand stores in the United States, and there are a lot of grocery stores that sell second-hand goods.

This culture is also shown in Hollywood film and television dramas, such as CBS's hit "Bankruptcy Sisters", which has a lot of plots about the two shopping for treasures in second-hand stores.

Hans shrugged and said, "It's good, but I'm not going to give them dolls, I'm going to buy something else." ”

There was a Walmart supermarket around the welfare home, and the two of them went in and bought a bunch of vouchers, so that whatever the welfare home needed in the future, Mesa's mother could buy it herself.

They drove into the home and there was an ambulance parked at the door.

Seeing this, Hans hurriedly jumped out of the car and grabbed a child and asked, "Warrend, what's the matter?

The boy smiled and said, "It's okay, big brother Fu, it's the doctors from St. John's Red Cross Hospital who came to give us a free examination." Hey, what gift did you bring?"

Hans removed the box, opened it, and said, "Uncle Lee brought you a gift this time. Go, call the girls out, Uncle Li specially prepared gifts for them. ”

Warren shouted happily: "Sisters, come out to meet guests, there are VIPs here!"

Hearing this, Li Du hurriedly looked around, he didn't enter the wrong door, right?

Hans said angrily: "Warlund, you little bastard is not beaten, don't talk nonsense!"

Warren grimaced and ran away, only to see the dormitory door open, revealing a few little girls running out.

In the reception room, a female doctor frowned and looked out and said, "Mama Mesa, what's going on?"

The stout and charitable black woman laughed, "It's a naughty kid joking with us, he has no ill intentions, let me see, oh, it's two good young men coming." ”

The female doctor didn't see anyone, but saw a familiar little tiger cat crawling into the ambulance with its long tail between its legs, because two boys were chasing it.

Li Du took out the beautifully packaged Barbie doll and said, "Look, girls, my uncle has fulfilled his promise and sent you gifts." ”

The dolls had not yet been opened, and the "Barbie" sticker on the closure of the box was intact, and the girls immediately cheered when they saw the dolls, and gathered around to wait for the gifts.

There are fifteen Barbie dolls they get, and there are fourteen girls in the welfare home, of different ages, but Barbie dolls are the best friends of all women in the United States, almost all ages, so they can almost share one each.

Getting Barbie, the girls laughed and ran away.

There were also some other toys in the box, excavators, small cars, Transformers, and Marvel hero models, which were suitable for boys, and Hans sent them to the toy room of the welfare home.

Li Du packed the box, and at this time, Meow suddenly screamed, he looked up and said, "Meow, be quiet, ......"

Meow screamed while stretching out her paw and pointing forward, Li Du followed its paw to see that a white-clothed blonde female doctor was smiling at him, it was Sophie who had rescued Meow.

Today, the female doctor is wearing a white coat, and her perfect figure is hidden by her clothes, leaving only her slender and straight calves. She wore shiny flesh-colored stockings to cover her snow-white and delicate skin, but because of the hazy luster of the stockings, she looked more charming.

Hearing his voice, Sophie, who was about to tease Meow, turned around and smiled: "Hey, Lee, what a coincidence, we actually met here, Meow seems to have recovered?"

Li Du said: "Yes, thanks to your superb medical skills, it has recovered from its injury, and now it is no problem to climb trees, climb buildings, jump up and down." ”

Sophie said a little strangely: "Then it recovers really fast, it's less than two months, cats' bones are very fragile, and they generally recover slowly after injury, it seems that you have spent a lot of effort to take care of it." ”

Li Du smiled, this should be the credit of the little flying insect.

Then he asked the hospital what kind of activities it was doing, and Sophie said that the hospital would conduct two compulsory physical examinations for the city's welfare homes every year, because some of the children in the welfare homes were born with disabilities, so she had to follow the whole process as a surgeon.

She didn't seem to want to talk about this topic very much, and after a brief introduction, she changed the topic and said: "You are so good to the children here, you actually gave them such an expensive Barbie doll." ”

"It's not expensive, is it?" said Li Du, "We went to a warehouse auction and got these dolls. I once made a pact with them to give them a gift when I got the doll, so I brought it. ”

Warehouse auctions are a very common activity in the United States, and Sophie clearly understands how it works: "The warehouse you bought must be Barbie collectors, these are no ordinary dolls, this is a collector's edition launched in 2009 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Barbie!"

Li Du asked, "Is it? You can recognize it from such a distance? You are really an expert." ”

Sophie chuckled: "Barbie has played with me since I was a child, and I don't dare to be an expert, but I know better." When this 50th anniversary Barbie doll was first launched, I thought about collecting it, but it was too expensive and I didn't buy it, and I was just working at the time. ”
