At six o'clock in the evening, Tang Ran had dinner. After the servants in the main house removed the dishes and kitchen waste, she was left quietly in the side house.
The little girl sat alone for a while, then lay down on the square table in the restaurant and began to wait for dark.
It is not appropriate to say that it is dark, because in Tang Ran's world, it is always dark. It is difficult for blind people to accurately judge specific astronomical phenomena and corresponding time, while Tang Ran mostly relies on some external objects.
For example, the small standing bell resting on the square table on which she was lying.
This small standing bell is something Yang Yilan bought for her specially. It is similar to the old-fashioned standing bell. At the hour, it will ring the corresponding number of long bells, and at the half o'clock, it will only ring a relatively short time.
With it, Tang Ran's control of the approximate time is much more convenient.
During the day, there are special tutors in various subjects to give Tang Dye Braille courses, which basically start in the morning and last until before dinner - learning the same content, blind people spend many times or even dozens of times more than normal people.
Fortunately, Tang Ran is eager to learn and smart, and more importantly, he has no distractions and is extremely focused. Therefore, she can maintain a progress similar to or even more advanced than ordinary peers in various subjects.
The last tutor left before dinner.
Dinner at the main house is basically delivered between 6:00 and 6:30.
Tang Ran eats slowly. The little girl can sit quietly and chew slowly for half an hour by herself in the corner of the table, and she quietly puffs her cheeks without making any sound.
Yang Yilan joked about her before, she always looks like a little hamster when she eats, and it makes people want to poke her cheek.
Then between 7:00 and 8:00, the cargo truck loaded with the robot in the int laboratory will come at any time.
During this period, Tang Ran basically didn't go anywhere, just lay on the square table in the restaurant, listening to the ticking of the second hand of the small standing clock on the table.
While listening to the ticking sound, Tang Ran thought about what topic he would like to talk to "Luo Luo" tonight.
Just started thinking about the topic tonight, Tang Ran heard a knock on the door from the entrance of the side house.
The little girl lying on the table was stunned for a while, and then sat up suddenly. In the darkness, she recalled blankly—it should be a few minutes after 7:00.
Manager, why did they come so early today
Although puzzled, Tang Ran groped to find the remote control button device under the square table—
This is what the store manager just installed for her last week. He said that it was a new invention that Luo Zhan was idle in the laboratory. After installing a small device on the door bolt, the door bolt could be remotely controlled.
But Tang Ran didn't understand why. It was clearly said by Tan Yunchang himself, but before he left that day, he quietly sneaked up to him again, saying that the remote control latch was actually developed and tested by Luo Zhan who stayed up late at night for several days in a row. Yes, but Young Master Luo refused to let him tell the truth.
Tang Ran pressed the button, there was a light click in the direction of the entrance of the side house, and the door opened.
Tan Yunchang greeted him and pushed the mechanical box in together with Lin Qianhua.
Tang Ran touched the corner of the table and got up slowly, and asked curiously, "Manager, you came early today, what's the matter?"
Tan Yunchang said with a smile: "Yes, I'm here to report some good news to you!"
Tang Ran: "Good news?"
Tan Yunchang: "Luo Zhan has already contacted one of the most famous doctors in eye surgery in China - tomorrow is Saturday, you don't have to go to tutoring classes, we will pick you up in the morning and take you there for surgery. an examination."
Tang Ran stood there blankly.
Tan Yunchang didn't notice it, and said excitedly: "If the examination goes well, it won't take long before you can receive treatment and prepare for surgery!"
"… "
The air was quiet for a while.
Tan Yunchang originally thought that the little girl was stunned by surprise, but after waiting for a while, he saw Tang Ran asked softly, "Did Luo Zhan contact him?"
"Yup."
"Is he here today?"
"...No," Tan Yunchang glanced at the quiet mechanical box with a guilty conscience, "Luo Zhan has been busy recently. And you know, he is so dissatisfied with the marriage contract arranged by his father, how could he possibly step on the threshold of the Tang family?"
After a few seconds of silence, the girl nodded slowly: "Thank you, store manager. But please tell me that the cost of eye surgery and postoperative recovery treatment will cost hundreds of thousands or even millions, and in a situation like mine, even if I do The chances of recovery from surgery are also very low…”
A little gloom appeared on the girl's eyebrows.
Soon she looked up again and smiled lightly: "I'm already very grateful about the bionic robot. I've given up on the eye problem long ago, so I won't bother him anymore."
Tan Yunchang obviously did not expect such an answer, and was at a loss for a while. Just when he was struggling and didn't know how to persuade, the phone in his pocket vibrated.
Tan Yunchang took it out and saw the signature of the message. He glanced at the mechanical box subconsciously, and then he lowered his head and read the message again.
After reading, Tan Yunchang breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and said to Tang Ran, "Sister Tang, I have no right to decide this matter. If you really don't want to have surgery, it's fine. When we pick you up to go to the laboratory tomorrow, you and I will take you to the laboratory. Luo Zhan said it would do."
Tang Ran hesitated: "He..."
Tan Yunchang rolled his eyes and added: "And Luo Zhan has spent a lot of time and energy to contact this eye surgeon; if you don't even do the examination, then he will be wasting his efforts."
Hearing Tan Yunchang say this, it would be too impersonal for Tang Ran to refuse again. After hesitating for a while, she nodded slowly: "I will go to check, please help me thank Luo Zhan... Are you coming tomorrow morning?"
"Yes, yes," Tan Yunchang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Tang Ran's answer. "Tomorrow morning around 8 o'clock. Because it is far from the doctor's side, it is estimated that there will be a lot of delay on the road, so we have to leave early."
"it is good."
"Then let's go first." Tan Yunchang said, "Let your 'robot' accompany you."
"… "
When she mentioned "Luo Luo", a soft smile appeared on the girl's face.
She replied softly, "Okay."
After Tan Yunchang and Lin Qianhua left, the side house returned to quiet.
Tang Ran stood alone in the dark for a while, hesitantly estimated the time, and she whispered to herself: "Luo Luo should take a while to come out. If you want to get up early tomorrow, go to bed early tonight..."
A man muttered something, the girl turned around, and slowly walked to her room in the side house that she had gradually become familiar with.
About ten minutes later, the door of the mechanical box opened, and a boy wearing a white shirt, denim trousers, and white sneakers came out.
He glanced around the room, but found nothing.
Luo Zhan raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.
As usual, every time he came out of the mechanical box, he could see Tang Ran obediently lying on the square table, and several times he was so sleepy that he fell asleep.
