261: prosthetic limbs

Changcheng Village

"Old Jia, the third child, are you taking your child to get prosthetic limbs?"

"That's great, Xiao Jia can finally stand up."

"Yes, the Government is good now; they provide free prosthetic limb installations."

Everyone was genuinely happy for the family before them.

Xiao Jia, this boy, had always been very obedient and was loved by those around him since he was little.

However, this very boy,

had both his legs amputated three years ago due to an accidental car crash.

From then on, the cheerful boy who walked with a spring in his step and loved to smile disappeared; the enthusiastic man who greeted Everyone was gone, replaced by a lifeless child.

"Yes, we are going to get Xiao Jia his prosthetic limbs."

Old Jia looked at his child with excitement.

"When we return tomorrow, let your Xiao Ling play with my son."

Xiao Jia's mother also spoke at this moment, the shadow that had hung over the couple for many years finally dissipating.

Ever since Xiao Jia's legs were amputated,

they were the ones who suffered the most.

Their son used to be so cute and lively. After the car accident, he wouldn't smile even once a week and would often shut himself in his bedroom, not coming out.

His most recent smile was when they received a call from the Government.

Xiao Jia's free prosthetic limb installation slot had come through.

"Everyone, I can't chat with you anymore; our Anti-gravity car is here."

Old Jia noticed that the Government's Anti-gravity car had arrived, slowly parking in the neighborhood.

Two robots stepped out of it.

"Jia Shan, ID number 4572374478292384785, your free prosthetic limb slot has been approved."

"We will escort you to the prosthetic limb installation center."

"As you are a minor, parental accompaniment is required."

The robot's originally cold voice, at this moment, sounded like a beautiful song from heaven to Xiao Jia and his parents.

"We are Xiao Jia's parents; we will go with him."

Xiao Jia's parents said excitedly, their voices trembling uncontrollably.

"Beep, identity confirmed."

The robots scanned Xiao Jia's parents to confirm their identities.

"Understood. Please board the Anti-gravity car. We will arrive at the prosthetic limb installation center in twenty-five minutes."

"Your son's surgery is scheduled for one hour from now."

The robots said.

"Alright, alright, wife, quickly get in the car. I'll carry our son into the car."

Old Jia said excitedly.

The robots helped Old Jia assist Xiao Jia into the car.

Then the Anti-gravity car took off directly.

"The national policies are so good now!"

"Exactly, not only are prosthetic limb installations free, but they also offer home pick-up and drop-off."

"Yes, now that the country is strong, the welfare for us citizens is increasing and getting better."

"That's certainly true. You know, the prosthetic limbs we get for free sell for five million abroad."

Everyone's faces were full of pride, as China was the only country on The Entire Blue Star with such welfare.

It was the country with the highest happiness index on The Entire Blue Star, bar none.

Meanwhile,

Xiao Jia and his parents had already arrived at the prosthetic limb installation center.

There were many people there just like Xiao Jia.

They had all lost a part of their body due to various disasters.

Now they were here to reinstall their future hopes.

"Dad, look over there! There's someone with all four limbs as prosthetics, like a robot!"

"There's an older sister here; she looks so beautiful with her prosthetic limbs."

Seeing so many people with prosthetic limbs, Xiao Jia grew increasingly excited.
