Chapter 75 75. Encounter at the Welfare Institute

On Sunday, they set out on their way home.

On the way, while eating ice cream, Hans said, "Let's deal with the toys first and send them to the grocery store. These are easy, 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 afraid of dolls? What's so scary about those Barbie dolls? I'm not afraid, I just don't like them, I hate them!"

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

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

Li Du said: "It's fine if you don't want to say it, but Barbie dolls can't be sold."

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

Seeing Li Du staring at him with weird eyes, he laughed dryly and said, "Well, I admit, I'm afraid of those dolls, don't you think they're scary? They're human-like but not human, with lifeless expressions , fake smile, lifeless eyes, Falk!"

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

Li Du patted him on the shoulder and said, "You've watched too many horror movies, and you should watch less unsuitable stuff in the future. Also, studying the uncanny valley theory occasionally will help you overcome this mentality."

"I don't need to study any theories. You haven't said what you plan to do with these dolls."

Li Du smiled mysteriously: "Set up a suspense, and you will know when you arrive at the destination."

The destination was of course Mama Mesa's home. The car entered Flagstaff City just passing through the suburbs. Hans was very familiar with this orphanage, and he understood Li Du's purpose when he saw the direction of the car.

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

"Why not? Most of these dolls have not even been opened. They are brand new. Why sell them as second-hand goods? Children want to have new Barbie dolls, so why don't we give them to them?" Li Du said.

In the cultural environment of China, it is not good to give out second-hand goods as gifts, but in the United States, this is completely fine. Americans are pragmatists. As long as something works, whether it is new or second-hand, everyone Treat them with the same eyes.

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

This kind of culture is also shown in Hollywood film and television dramas, such as CBS's hit "Bankrupt Girls", which contains a lot of plots about two people shopping for treasures in second-hand stores.

Hans shrugged and said, "It's really good, but I won't give them dolls, I'll go buy something else."

There was a Wal-Mart supermarket near the orphanage, and the two went in and bought a bunch of vouchers, so that Mama Mesa could buy whatever the orphanage needed in the future.

They drove into the orphanage, and an ambulance stopped at the door.

Seeing this, Hans hurriedly jumped out of the car, grabbed a child and asked, "Walender, what's going on? Who's sick?"

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

Hans took down the box, opened it and said, "Uncle Li brought you gifts this time. Go, call out the girls, Uncle Li specially prepared gifts for them."

Warlund shouted happily: "Sisters, come out to meet guests, a distinguished guest has arrived!"

After hearing this, Li Du quickly looked around, did he enter the wrong door?

Hans said angrily: "Walender, you little bastard deserves a beating, don't talk nonsense!"

Warlund made a face and ran away. As a result, the door of the dormitory opened, and several little girls actually ran out.

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

The strong and charitable black woman smiled and said, "It's a naughty boy who is joking with us. He has no malicious intentions. Let me take a look. Oh, here are two good young men."

The female doctor didn't see anyone, but she saw a familiar little tiger cat crawling towards 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, uncle has fulfilled his promise and brought you gifts."

These dolls have not been opened yet, and the "Barbie" sticker on the box seal is intact. After seeing the dolls, the girls immediately cheered and gathered around to wait for the gifts.

They got fifteen Barbie dolls, and there were fourteen girls in the orphanage, all of different ages, but Barbie dolls are the best friends of all women in the United States, and almost kill all ages, so they can share one for each person.

Getting the Barbie dolls, the girls laughed and ran away.

There were some other toys in the box, such as excavators, small racing cars, Transformers and Marvel hero models. These toys were suitable for boys, and Hans sent them to the toy room of the orphanage.

Li Du was packing the box. At this moment, Ah Meow suddenly yelled "Meow, Meow, Meow". He raised his head and said, "Ah Meow, be quiet..."

Ah Miao stretched out her paw and pointed forward while screaming. Li Du looked along its paw, and a blond female doctor in white was smiling at him. It was Sophie who rescued Ah Miao.

Today the female doctor is wearing a white coat, her perfect figure is covered by the clothes, leaving only her slender and straight legs. She wore bright flesh-colored stockings, which covered her delicate white skin, but because of the hazy luster of the stockings, she looked even more charming.

Hearing his voice, Sophie, who was about to tease Ah Miao, turned her head and smiled and said, "Hey, Li, what a coincidence, we met here, Ah Miao seems to have recovered?"

Li Du said: "Yes, thanks to your superb medical skills, it has recovered from its injuries, and now it can climb trees, stairs, and jump up and down without any problem."

Sophie said strangely: "Then it recovers really quickly. It's been less than two months. A cat's bones are very fragile, and it usually recovers slowly after being injured. It seems that you have put a lot of thought into taking care of it."

Li Du smiled, it should be the little flying insect's credit.

Then he asked the hospital what kind of activities it was doing. Sophie said that the hospital would conduct two compulsory physical examinations for the welfare homes in the city every year, because some children in the welfare homes were congenitally disabled, so as a surgeon, she had to follow them all the way.

Regarding this topic, she didn't seem to want to talk very much. After a brief introduction, she changed the subject and said, "You are so kind to the children here. You even gave them such an expensive Barbie doll."

"It's not expensive, is it?" Li Du said, "We went to a storage auction and got these dolls. I had an agreement with them to send them as gifts after I got the dolls, so I brought them here. gone."

Warehouse auction is a very common event in the United States, and Sophie obviously understands how it works: "The warehouse you photographed must be a collector of Barbie dolls. Anniversary Collector's Edition!"

Li Du asked: "Really? You can recognize it from such a distance? You are really an expert."

Sophie chuckled and said, "Barbie dolls have played with me since I was a child. I don't dare to be an expert, but I just know it better. When this set of Barbie dolls for the 50th anniversary was first released, I thought about collecting them, but they were too expensive. I I didn’t buy it, I was just working at that time.”
