Chapter 9: Finally Feet

After waiting for more than half an hour, it was finally Hou Dalin's turn.

Walking into the doctor's examination room, a doctor in his fifties and sixties was sitting behind a desk. On the side, there is also a young girl in a white lab coat.

"Hou Dalin, right?"

The girl didn't look up, but asked the name of the person who came in.

"Yes, I am Hou Dalin."

"Well, what kind of illness do you see? What's uncomfortable? "It's the girl who asked.

"Oh, Comrade Doctor, I don't feel sick at all, I'm here to get a prosthetic." Hou Dalin got up to see a doctor, there is no need to waste other people's time, it is better to get straight to the point.

"Oh? With a prosthetic? The girl raised her head, looked at Hou Dalin curiously and asked.

"Well, with a prosthetic leg, left foot."

"When did you get hurt? Healed? How old are you? Families are not there? When the girl saw Hou Dalin's appearance, she couldn't help but ask a bunch of questions.

"Oh, I'm here on my own, there's no one left at home, I'm the only one so I don't have any family. I've had this leg hurt for more than ten years, I'm 18 years old, I've never used a prosthesis before, this is the first time. ”

At this time, the old doctor, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, opened his eyes and looked at him.

"You lift your pants, I'll have to see how you're doing." The girl in the white coat didn't say much else, and such a situation is usually not uncommon. However, take a look at the situation of the other party, this is the necessary procedure. Not everyone's situation can be fitted with prosthetics, she has to see it clearly before she can make an order for Hou Dalin.

It is not Hou Dalin's character to avoid medical treatment, he immediately lifted his trouser leg, revealing his injured left leg.

The girl in the white coat looked at it carefully, and pinched it everywhere with her hands, and then turned her eyes to the old doctor who was sitting.

I saw that the old doctor also tilted his head and looked carefully, and saw that Hou Dalin's situation was not abnormal, so he nodded at the girl in the white coat and said, "Give him an order, I don't think there is any big problem with the young man's situation." However, the first time you take a prosthesis, it will be a little awkward, you have to exercise more after you go back, adapt more, don't feel uncomfortable and don't use it, in that case, you can't bring it for the rest of your life, so it will be very inconvenient in life. ”

"Well, thank you, doctor. I'll definitely be exercising more. Zhao Ye agreed, took the list that the girl in the white coat had made for him, and walked outside the hospital on crutches.

At this time, the prosthesis was not installed in the hospital. Instead, you need to take the orthopedic diagnosis certificate, and then go to the manufacturer outside the hospital to measure and customize.

Prosthetics, everyone's situation is different, so it is impossible to have the same standard, this thing, are all related manufacturers, according to each person's different situation to customize.

Of course, the materials are also diverse. When Hou Dalin came here, he saw all kinds of prosthetics on the table next to him. For each type of prosthesis, there are also samples of three materials for those who come to order for them to choose.

Hou Dalin didn't have much to think about, the three materials were wooden, iron, and the highest grade was made of aluminum alloy.

Of course, there are many different prices. Depending on the material, length, size, and part, the price is also different.

Hou Dalin handed over the order, and then asked people to measure his left leg in various ways, and finally determined the material and price, and then issued a ticket to Hou Dalin and asked him to come and pick it up in three days.

Hou Dalin ordered an aluminum alloy prosthetic limb and spent less than fifty yuan. It stands to reason that the price is not too high, but at this time, the prosthetic limb does not have two joints, and the price is not too low.

After doing this well, Hou Dalin didn't stay long, and went directly to the market. Rice, flour, grain, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, all kinds of daily necessities always have to be purchased. And in this market, he also tries to buy some fresh produce. Not only chickens, ducks, fish and rabbits must be alive, but even peanuts and beans must be fresh. However, he did not find the wheat grain he wanted the most, the rice, which was a little regrettable.

But this is not a rare thing, it is not available here, and it can always be found somewhere else.

Hou Dalin, who was full of purchases, found no one to throw the things in his hand into the space from time to time, and when he came out of the market, there was a small bag of stick noodles left in his hand.

I got on the bus and went home, and by the time I got home again, it was already past noon.

When you get home, you have to cook, or you don't have to eat. Mix the cornmeal with some white flour and flour and steam it in a pot. At this time, another problem arose, he did not have briquettes.

What to do?

What else can I do, there are no briquettes to burn wood. The wood he had collected before came to use, and although it wasn't much, it was still no problem to cook a meal.

In these years, everything has to be ticketed, and Hou Dalin just wants to buy coal, and he has to wait for his coal capital to come down.

His materials have not been given to him in the factory, and he has to wait for the factory to send him the materials, so that he can take these materials to the household registration section of the police station to register for a household registration, and then go to the street office to receive various books such as grain books, coal books, etc.

This is not a job that can be done in three or five days. Hou Dalin is not in a hurry, anyway, there is wood, he doesn't even have to deliberately look for it, he can always get some wood when he goes out for a walk. In order to avoid trouble, he even found an opportunity to buy a willow pier at the market.

The tree stump was sold as a vegetable mound, and Hou Dalin detected that this tree stump still had vitality, so he bought it directly for a few cents, and put it in the space in the future, which can be copied and pasted as a sample. In this way, the copied tree stump can be dewatered by him and broken down into small pieces for firewood.

It's simple and affordable, it's just a waste of water.

In this way, Hou Dalin went out early and returned late almost every day, and he didn't go far, just took a bus and walked around the capital.

Soon, three days passed. Early that morning, Hou Dalin came to the vicinity of Renhe Hospital again, found the façade of the custom prosthetic, and retrieved his prosthesis.

With the help of the staff, Hou Dalin was fitted with a prosthetic leg, although it was ugly and awkward, but it still felt good to have one foot.

Moreover, the material of aluminum alloy. It's much stronger than the one he made himself, at least a lot lighter. When you go to it, you have to modify it, at least add the upper joint system, so that you can walk more like a normal person.

When Hou Dalin returned to the courtyard again, he limped in.

A group of people looked at him curiously, these days, there are many people with prosthetics, but they are all seen from a distance on the street. There is such an extra person around him, and everyone can't help but be a little curious.

Especially the children, such as the stick terrier, when he saw Hou Dalin coming in, he directly said a word that filled Hou Dalin's anger value.

"Oh, tattered Hou'er, you bought a prosthetic foot, you take it off, let me see it?"
