I don't know if it was Yang Ren's psychological effect, or the old man just became a little different today. He chatted with Yang Ren as he walked and talked about things from the past.

"Our family has never changed places. We used to live in a bungalow here. After the demolition, we lived in a building here. When Xu Yao was a child, I brought him to this vegetable market every day, and everyone in the house knew our father and son."

This kind of chat that doesn't have a sentence, if it catches up with the usual, Yang Ren may still take a little thought to hook the old man and talk more about Xu Yao, but he is really not in the mood today, so he just listens to the old man himself. Come on, don't make a fuss.

The old man didn't care about his reaction, and said, "Our family Xu Yao has been very smart since he was a child. When he was three years old, he was able to memorize the Three Character Classic by heart."

Yang Ren finally glanced at the old man, and the old man continued: "When he was the same age as Tong Tong, well, he should be a little younger than him. I remember when he was in kindergarten and middle class, he had a high fever once, but It was amazing, it burned for a whole week, and when he recovered, we found out that he couldn't hear."

Yang Ren looked at the old man in surprise and stopped. He didn't expect the old man to tell him this story. This is the experience that he and Xu Yao couldn't ask no matter how they were together before.

When the old man saw Yang Ren stopped, he touched him with his hand to remind him to leave quickly, and then he bought some vegetables while talking. That natural state was like telling someone else's story, no pain or itching.

"The doctor said that Xu Yao can already speak at this time, and her language ability will not be completely lost in the future, but she still needs to wear a hearing aid as soon as possible to compensate for her hearing, but Xu Yao's mother thinks differently from me, every time she is at home , take off the child's hearing aid, or even hide it."

"I know that a good child suddenly becomes like this, especially when facing neighbors and relatives, it is very difficult to accept, but after all, only by insisting on wearing hearing aids can the child's language not lose too much. Later, I simply Take Xu Yao to my work unit. I was a teacher in the middle school on the street in front of me. At that time, I would leave Xu Yao alone in the office to study every day. At noon, I would let my students go to him. Memorizing the text can also be regarded as training Xu Yao's listening ability."

"Later, Xu Yao's mother left us. Xu Yao is very smart and sensible. At such a young age, he understands everything. I often tell him that it doesn't matter if his ears are not good, as long as he works harder than others, there will be no problem. Later, I asked him to practice the piano, and after I invited the teacher to my house, I told her that our child has hearing problems. At first, the teacher was not sure, and asked Xu Yao if he could learn. Xu Yao thought about it for a while, and then said yes."

Along the way, the old man was talking to Yang Ren about Xu Yao’s childhood. From the moment he discovered his deafness to the time he went to work, the old man was accompanied by the old man alone. Xu Yao worked very hard, even jumping multiple levels, even better than his healthy classmates. a lot of.

When he reached the downstairs of Xu's house, the old man handed the vegetables in his hand to Yang Ren, found the key from his pocket, looked at Yang Ren, and instructed: "Don't let Xu Yao know that I told you this today, I will follow you. Saying this, I just want you to know that Xu Yao's body had such an irreversible problem. I came here alone with him, not to mention that there are so many people who love him by your side in Tongtong. "

If he just knew that Yang Yitong had this problem, he had a huge stone in his heart, then last night Xu Yao's comfort relieved him a part of the weight, and the experience of Xu Yao shared with him today by the old man made him feel even more in his heart. Much easier.

The three returned to Xu's house together. Unexpectedly, the food was already set on the dining table, and the TV in the living room was broadcasting bears. Xu Yao sat next to Xiao Ai and did not dare to leave.

"We're back." The old man raised his voice, and Xiao Ai ran over immediately, but his face didn't have the joy that he used to see Yang Ren and his son.

"What's wrong?" Yang Ren bent over and asked her, she stretched out her hand to show Yang Ren, Yang Ren took her little hand and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't understand what was going on, so he heard Xiao Ai say: "Dad cooks, hands broken."

"What?" Yang Ren didn't even change his shoes. He put down Xiao Ai's hand and walked quickly to Xu Yao's side to pick up his hand to check. Xu Yao wanted to hide, but he didn't have time to react.

"What's the matter? Didn't you promise not to let you cook? How dangerous is it when you are alone at home?"

Xu Yao couldn't understand the small cannonball-like words at once, but he could guess that Xiao Ai must have told him that his hand was injured.

Yang Ren saw that Xu Yao's right hand was scalded with blisters, and said anxiously, "Why is it so bad? It's scalded by boiling water?"

Xu Yao retracted his hand and said, "It's okay, I washed it with cold water for 20 minutes."

Yang Ren was still frowning, this piece of skin must be necrotic, he grabbed his hand again and asked, "Why didn't you apply the scalding medicine?"

Xu Yao didn't speak, and Yang Ren thought he didn't understand, but just as he was about to repeat it, he heard him say, "I can't see which one is the scald medicine, and Xiao Ai can't read."

Yang Ren was so sick that he pulled him off the sofa and took him to the bedroom to apply the medicine. After changing his shoes, the old man went to the kitchen to peel the potatoes himself.

After applying the medicine, Yang Ren realized that the old man was already in the pot. He remembered that he was a little emotional just now, and now he is embarrassed. Go out and play with them."

With a hot face, Yang Ren exited the kitchen and saw Xu Yao sitting on the floor of the living room playing a game of driving a train with the two children, Xiao Ai was sitting first, Yang Yitong wrapped her waist from behind, Xu Yao was sitting on the floor. Yao sat in the third place, wrapping his arms around Yang Yitong, and Yang Ren also joined in.

"Xu Yao, does what you said last night count?" Yang Ren deliberately chose to sit behind Xu Yao and pressed it against his ear to confirm.

At such a close distance, Xu Yao couldn't pretend that he couldn't hear. He sighed and said to the front, "It counts."

Yang Ren's hanging heart finally loosened, and he rested his chin on his shoulder.
