Blooming America

Friday, June 1, 1962.

　　 Just a few days ago, Fidel Castro announced that Cuba would follow the road of socialism, and the relationship between the United States and Cuba was officially broken and irreparable.

　　 On this day, Catherine is officially 14 years old.

　　 Her birthday was celebrated in her own home.

　　 But it is not her parents who celebrated her birthday, but her partner.

　　 "14 years old, Kate, don't know how you feel now?"

　　 "Hmm... Actually, there is nothing, but I just think the time goes by really fast."

　　 Catherine was a little absent-minded.

　　 "Kate, can you not wear it all over, and then let me measure it. I will dress for you?"

　　 "Why?"

　　 Catherine looked at Lisa strangely.

　　 "A birthday present for you. In fact, what I hope most is to make a dress as gorgeous as Monroe wore that day~"

　　The dress that Lisa refers to refers to the dress worn more than ten days ago, on May 19, which is President Kennedy’s birthday.

　　 Monroe didn't wear any underwear at the time, and the dress was like sewn to Monroe.

　　 And it is said that Monroe did not wear anything when cutting, and then the designer measured various data on her body. In order to keep the data accurate, Monroe even stayed motionless for half an hour.

"is it?"

　　 Catherine lay on the table, obviously, she didn't have much interest in Lisa's so-called dream.

　　 She seemed a little tired.

　　 "You seem to feel bad, what's the matter?" Lily asked.

"summer homework."

　　 Catherine shrugged.

　　 The homework in American schools is always weird.

　　 "Experience the life of a disabled person for more than three days, and write an article about protecting the human rights of the disabled."

　　 Catherine rolled her eyes very simply.

　　 To say that the simplest homework is mathematics. Catherine did all the math homework in one night, but she has a headache for the homework of literature and history.

　　Especially in such prestigious schools, the teachers assign homework, often there is no information to check, and there is no book, but the content is closely related to people's lives.

　　 In this regard, Catherine can only think of one word: cheating.

　　 "This homework sounds great."

　　 Hearing the answers from her companions, Catherine was also noncommittal.

　　 This is probably a cultural difference.

　　 Catherine came to this world for more than ten years, but before that, she had 20 or 30 years of memory from the future China. To this day, Catherine's thoughts have not been assimilated by the United States. Although Catherine is not surprised by this typical American thinking, she can't adapt to her own body.

　　 The vast majority of people really find it very interesting, like Catherine, it is the minority and the alternative.

　　 Catherine knows this very well.

　　 In fact, Catherine has always been paying close attention to the lives of Americans, because business opportunities come from the bits and pieces of life. Only when most people agree with her, her products can be successful.

　　 "Typical American thinking." Catherine sighed.

　　 "Typical immigration thinking, Kate. It's no big deal." Lily smiled at Catherine.

　　 "Maybe, what should I do next? Do you want me to wear a plaster and go for a walk on the street and see who discriminates against the disabled?"

　　 Catherine sighed quietly.

　　 "Maybe we can help?" Lisa suddenly laughed.

　　 "No! Never!"

　　God knows what bad ideas they have.

　　 "Jenny, there should be help from you who can help Kate."

　　 "If you need more realistic counterfeiting, I can do it for you." Jenny said.

"so be it."

　　 Catherine also didn't want to toss on her own, among all her companions, in Catherine's eyes, Jenny was the most sensible.

"Well, let's prepare together, and then go to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. My mother is the director of surgery and orthopedic specialist there, and it happens that there is no appointment now, so it's just right for us to go now. Um... but I'll give you a call. "

　　 Jenny made a call soon.

　　 "By the way, Kate, what kind of disability do you want?"

　　 What kind of disability do you want?

　　 Why does this sound so strange?

　　 "Uh... just do it."

　　 Jenny nodded, but at this time, the phone was already connected.

　　 After a phone call, even if things were settled, they set off together and went to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, one of the most famous hospitals in New York.

　　 "This is my mother, Mavis White. Mom, this is my classmate. This is Catherine."

　　 "Hello, Mrs. White." Catherine called.

　　 "Don't be so restrained. I'm very happy to help you with your homework, Catherine. In fact, when Jenny told me the cause and effect, I also found it very interesting. By the way, how does the orthopedic pantyhose feel?"

　　 Catherine wore it on her feet, which was designed by Mrs. White for her. In fact, there is nothing wrong with Lisa.

　　 "Not bad. But it would be better if the crotch was designed as a zipper." Catherine looked down at the pair of tights on her legs.

　　 "That's right, although it's open, but it may be very uncomfortable if you put on underwear. It would be better if you turned into a zipper." The other party also smiled.

　　 "In fact, Columbia University is developing artificial skin that can replace human skin. Therefore, a lot of medical silicone has been developed recently, and it seems that it can come in handy now."

　　Isn't artificial skin only appearing in the 1980s?

　　 Catherine was a little strange, but it was relieved after thinking about it.

　　 After all, this breakthrough was only achieved in the 1980s. Without that long-term accumulation, how could it be possible to succeed? And the other party's tone, it is very likely that this thing is only under development.

　　Mrs. White took Catherine to the operating room, and then disinfected Catherine's back and arms. Then, she folded Catherine's arm behind her back, with the back of her hand against her back, her hands were flat, and then she began to fix and close it, and then took out the silicone.

Catherine could not see the situation behind her, but when the "surgery" was over, she felt that her hands seemed to be completely unable to move. She looked to her side, both hands were gone, as if her body had no hands. . However, her original skinny figure seemed to be slightly "fat".

　　 "How do you feel?" Mrs. White helped Catherine up, then took a mirror and placed it in front of her.

　　 "Somewhat awkward." Catherine looked at herself in front of the mirror, as if she had no hands.

　　 This is really a strange feeling.

　　 "Forget it, it's only three days, it's just an experience."

　　 This is also to complete the homework.

"If you feel your hands numb or feel any discomfort, remember to find a way to come right away. Be careful not to poke it away with a knife yourself, it is likely to hurt your skin. Every night before going to bed, and after waking up in the morning It’s best to ask someone to massage it. Although it can be worn for several months, my suggestion is to remove it completely in less than a month."

　　 Catherine turned her body slightly, and then looked at her back. It seemed that the color there seemed to be slightly different from the color of her own body, it was probably silicone.

　　By the way, this year seems to be the era of great development of silicone?

　　The golden age of America ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is a magical age. American technology seemed to burst out of this idea all at once, and then gradually swept the world.

　　 The entire modern world seems to have been built in the 1960s in the United States.

　　 It's no wonder that Americans are constantly nostalgic for this era.

　　 This is the American dream and the starting point for the whole world to move towards the future.

　　Mrs. White helped Catherine get dressed, her sleeves were empty and she looked a little awkward.

　　 "Do you need a prosthesis? But only for decoration. I also prepared it together, maybe you can use it."

"Ok."

　　 Although it was only three days, Catherine agreed without hesitation.

　　 With empty arms, Catherine suddenly panicked. This may be the true psychological feeling of the disabled. Without hands, it seems that the whole person has become a little inferior.

　　 "Remember, come here as soon as you feel unwell." Mrs. White warned Catherine at last.

　　 "Thank you so much. Mrs. White."

　　 Then, they went back to her office.

　　 It seems that surgery today is really a leisure day, at least nothing seems to happen now.

　　 "Oh, Kate, what's wrong with your hand?"

　　 Lily looked unhappy, but couldn't help laughing at the corners of her mouth.

　　 Catherine simply rolled her eyes.

　　……

　　The following is Monroe's dress.
