The manufacturing process of the socket is actually very complicated. It requires teamwork: communication and feedback from the wearer on the experience, but also knowledge and capabilities from the technician. After making the model casting, an experimental cavity is made: according to and focusing on each part and including the feedback.
The completed final cavity isn’t made until the experimental cavity is completely suited to the wearer. The whole process is rather cumbersome. Zhuang Jie progressed to the formal, finalized cavity after going through four experimental trials.
Her foot is a high-level sport grade, with vertical shock absorption and rotational torque functions, and is very flexible. If she was professionally trained, running would absolutely not be a problem. Such prosthetics cost nearly 70,000 yuan, which can almost mimic the lost limb functionality to pre-amputation levels. There are no obstacles in daily life, and ordinary people can’t even tell that she is a disabled person.
Her entire foot was crushed in the car accident, and the lower leg portion below five centimeters from the knee joint were amputated. At that time, she was young, and the doctor did not recommend using a prosthetic that was high quality, because it will be changed frequently in the later stage according to her growth development.
At that time, there were not really many good prosthetic limbs. As long as she walked, anyone could tell that she was a disabled person.
And the prosthetic was not tested to fit her stump, it was just a standard fit based on her measurements. She could not even complain if the stump is worn out and infected.
At that time, her father had just passed away three months before. Liao Tao was still in the hospital after giving birth to her brother and the family and everything was in chaos.
Liao Tao always thought that Zhuang Yan’s sentimentality was her fault, because when their father passed away, Liao Tao was still seven months pregnant.

Chen Maidong put down his chopsticks. At first, he mainly wanted to see who was impersonating his grandma. It wasn’t until they got closer that Zhuang Jie poked her head out from behind the tree, “Hey, old classmate.”
Seeing that it was her, Chen Maidong turned around to leave.
“Hey old classmate, do me a favor.” Zhuang Jie said seriously.
Chen Maidong looked back at her.
Zhuang Jie supported the tree with one leg and “hopped” forward.
“I just fell down, can you take me home?” Then she added, “If you don’t have time, you can ask your friend, or you can take me home. Anyone can do it. Really.”
Chen Maidong was surprised, “My friend doesn’t even know you.”
“Isn’t that what this meeting is for? Everyone in the town can chat and get to know one another. My family is not free, otherwise I wouldn’t ask for your help.”
Chen Maidong saw that she had bent her leg, she must have fallen badly, so he hesitated for a long time and said, “We came here with the car from work, and it’s kind of full.”
Zhuang Jie didn’t answer, and waited for him to finish speaking.
Chen Maidong said again: “We can take the hearse, if you want.”
…
“Um… Thanks, sorry for bothering you.” Zhuang Jie sat down with her knee bent and said, “I’ll just wait for my brother.”
Chen Maidong returned to the barbecue area, far away. Seeing her sitting under the willow tree, he suddenly felt sympathetic, so he asked a neighbor to borrow a motorcycle, and rode over to get her.
Zhuang Jie got on the motorcycle and said, “Thank you, so much.”
Chen Maidong didn’t answer.
Zhuang Jie grabbed his waist, and boasted: “The muscle here is really firm.”
Chen Maidong felt that the place where she was holding was very hot, so he moved her hands to hold onto the clothes only. Zhuang Jie tugged at his clothes and asked familiarly, “How many years have you been working in Beijing?”
“Four or five years.” Chen Maidong replied.
“That’s amazing. You have to be very good in this industry to last four or five years.” Zhuang Jie asked curiously, “Why don’t you change careers?”
She has a wide social circle, and also knows two people who work in funeral homes. They can’t keep people in the industry, and those who have the chance have changed careers. Especially when he is of marriageable age. If they don’t transfer them to another career, they will just quit.
“I don’t plan to change careers.”
“Then, you really are amazing!” Zhuang Jie said sincerely. She sincerely believes that Chen Maidong is a nice person, coming back to work in the town solely to take care of his grandma.
She absolutely couldn’t do it, her goal was and still is, to settle down in Shanghai. Thinking about it more, if she has the ability, it is best to also bring her siblings and settle down in Shanghai, as well. Forget about Liao Tao and Uncle He, they can stay here since they think big cities are unfriendly
Chen Maidong could only focus on the fact that she was being noisy, and she spoke really loud. The heat from her talking was burning his neck. Zhuang Jie, who didn’t realize it, was still very emotional. Looking around she was saying that the town has changed a lot, it is not easy to live for a long time, and it is easy to wear down people’s fighting spirit if they live for a long time.
But Chen Maidong had had enough of her, and turned his head back to ask, “Do you usually talk so much?”
…
Truth of the matter is Zhuang Jie didn’t talk much. It was just that she talked a lot when she was in a comfortable environment. She used to run sales, and as soon as she would leave the hospital, she would not speak a word, if she could help it. Just being in the hospital made her feel like her throat was always dry.
“Are you like this with all men?” Chen Maidong asked further.
“All, what?”
“I can see what type of person you are.”
“What do you mean by that?” Zhuang Jie was close to losing her temper.
Chen Maidong didn’t answer.
“Stop, stop, stop,” Zhuang Jie said motioning for him to stop, “Wait. Explain… you don’t actually think I’ve taken a fancy to you, do you?”
“Stop talking nonsense, okay? What would attract me to you in the first place?”
“I think you’re a nice person, and an old classmate… …Okay, I admit that the first time I saw you on the high-speed rail was a bit intriguing, I thought you were fresh and refined…”
While she was still speaking, Chen Maidong got off his motorcycle and took off toward the trees.
