The two of them sat side by side on the bench, Luo Jingyu looked around curiously, especially the amusement facilities area where the children played. He seemed very interested and kept looking there.

Zhan Xi pulled his sleeves, and he turned his head and Zhan Xi asked, "Xiaoyu, have you been to the Children's Palace?"

Luo Jingyu shook her head, stretched out her arms and swept forward, then pointed at herself, and finally compared her index finger with a "1".

"It's the first time?" Zhan Xi was quite surprised.

The extracurricular interest classes in Qiantang Youth Palace were found in the 1990s, and small amusement parks also appeared. They have been updated several times over the past 20 years. When Zhan Xi was a child, he came here to play with his parents and brother. Unexpectedly, Xiaoyu, a local child, never came here once.

Thinking about it, he doesn't come to the interest class.

Luo Jingyu seemed a little confused when she saw Zhan Xi, and typed it on her mobile phone: [I was very gentle when I was a child and didn’t like to play.]

Zhan Xi laughed at the sight and asked, "Are you so kind?"

Luo Jingyu pursed her lips and lowered her eyes to type: [Very well-behaved, like a girl.]

Zhan Xi smiled so much that his head rested on his shoulders, and Luo Jingyu also smiled, and the two of them trembled with a trembling smile.

After laughing for a while, Zhan Xi raised her head, and her chin was still resting on Luo Jingyu's shoulder to look at his side face.

Of course he doesn't look like a girl now. He is a tall and handsome young man with a straight nose and a soft face. His jaw lines are tight and clear. Although he is twenty-six years old, he still has a simple youthful aura. It's not that Zhan Xi thought at first that he was the same age as her, or even younger.

Her gaze fell on his neck, where there was a protruding Adam's apple, which was very obvious from the side. Zhan Xi didn't know where to get the courage, so he reached out to touch his Adam's apple. Luo Jingyu was startled and immediately turned around to look at her, and her right hand caught her left hand that she had not had time to take back.

Zhan Xi simply touched his Adam's apple with his hand. This was one of the sexual characteristics of a man. Zhan Xi had never touched it before. Luo Jingyu couldn't help swallowing, and Zhan Xi's fingers felt the sliding of his Adam's apple.

She asked softly, "Xiaoyu, have you learned to speak?"

Zhan Xi didn't think there was anything wrong with her problem. Xiaoyu was her boyfriend, and she just wanted to know more about him, such as his childhood and youth, and she wanted to know.

Luo Jingyu was stunned.

After hesitating for a while, he shook his head. Zhan Xi had no special reaction. He put his head on his shoulders. Just like all the young couples in love, he felt particularly satisfied with holding his arms and snuggling with him.

Luo Jingyu's heart was filled with confusion.

He lied to Huanhuan. In fact, he had learned to speak, although he had only studied for a month.

Because Luo Jingyu was born in a big family with a history of deafness, she started to do hearing tests as soon as possible after birth. Without delaying at all, she was found to have hearing problems.

The whole family fell into a deep feeling of disappointment. After accepting the reality, the parents did not feel depressed and actively dealt with all this.

So, Luo Jingyu received treatment for a long time in childhood, and of course he himself remembered nothing.

As a child with congenital deafness, Luo Jingyu is actually lucky to be a certain extent compared to those deaf children born in families with healthy parents.

There are many causes of congenital deafness, including heredity, improper medication for mothers in the early stages of pregnancy, and also genetic mutations.

Many healthy parents do not find that their children have hearing problems as soon as possible after giving birth to deaf children. When they are discovered, the children are several months old, or even one or two years old. Because deaf parents are both listening and unable to communicate with their children, many congenital hearing-impaired children will not receive external information stimulation in the earliest stages of intellectual development, which will affect their IQ and personality.

Luo Jingyu is not like this. The first language he came into contact with after birth was sign language, including his parents, grandparents, and sister. Everyone used sign language to "talk" to him, so his intellectual development was not a problem. In comparison, he had almost no concept of spoken language.

The child was innocent. Luo Jingyu did not realize until he was four years old that he was different from other friends in the community. At that time, he would shout unconsciously and cry, following Ji Hongzhe like a little tail.

He could only follow Ji Hongzhe, because only Xiaozhe could talk to him in sign language. He didn't understand why other children wouldn't "talk" like him, and their mouths opened and closed, and Luo Jingyu didn't understand what they were doing.

But Xiaozhe doesn't like to play with him. He thinks it's annoying that he yells around. Sometimes he will bully him with other friends.

Luo Jingyu is a pure and kind-hearted person. She never cares about them. She is bullied. After being excluded, she will only hide and cry alone. Later, she simply leaves the order and follows her mother to the welfare factory every day, sitting next to her to watch her do handicrafts.

Later, Ji Hongzhe went to kindergarten, and Luo Jingyu had no choice but to go. He asked his sister why he couldn't go to kindergarten. Luo Xiaomei, who was already in elementary school, told him: [Because you can't hear, can't speak, and the kindergarten doesn't listen to children.]

Luo Jingyu opened her eyes wide and compared to sign language: [What does it mean to be unable to hear?]

Luo Xiaomei grabbed his ears: [Ears are used to listen to sounds. Others can hear them, but we can't hear them. When you watch cartoons on TV, you can't understand them.]

Four-year-old Luo Jingyu was frightened and cried and asked in sign language: [Then can I go to school in the future?]

Luo Xiaomei comforted him: [If you can go to the school, the school we go to is different from Xiaozhe.]

That was the first time Luo Jingyu knew that he could not hear it.

From then on, he began to observe other children, as well as his parents' neighbors and colleagues, and finally realized that there is a sound in the world. Puppy can bark, horns can ring, people in cartoons can speak, and fireworks can besides being beautiful, but also loud. And these sounds can be heard by others, and they can also speak, which is different from him.

Luo Jingyu always hides in the quilt and touches his ears. He wishes that he can hear him when he wakes up, but day after day, and every day he wakes up, his world has never changed.

Fortunately, my parents, grandparents and sister were like him, and they couldn’t hear it. Luo Jingyu, who was still a child, learned to comfort herself. It doesn’t matter. It’s not that I can’t hear it alone, and my sister can still go to school.

That year, Luo Mingsong wanted to try to install hearing aids for Luo Jingyu. Unfortunately, after testing, Luo Jingyu, like Luo Xiaomei, had extremely severe ears, hereditary, sensorineural deafness, and both ears were over 120 decibels, which means that no sound in nature could be heard.

This level of hearing loss is no longer useful to install hearing aids. At that time, a doctor recommended cochlear implants to Luo Mingsong, saying that it was the first child cochlear implant in China in 1997. The first child cochlear implant surgery in Beijing was successfully completed. The surgery was a three-year-old girl. The operation was very successful. After the machine was turned on, the girl heard the sound and could still learn to speak after language training.

The doctor said that the best age for children with deafness to install cochlear implants is twelve months to five years old. Luo Jingyu is suitable, and Luo Xiaomei became a little older. Luo Ming felt relieved and had the idea of ​​taking his son to Beijing for examination. However, when he inquired about the price, he and Yan Yajuan fell silent.

The cost of hundreds of thousands was astronomical for a deaf couple who worked in a welfare factory and only had a few hundred yuan a month. They didn’t even have a house, and they lived in a factory dormitory. The tens of thousands of dollars they saved were planning to buy a house.

Luo Mingsong did not want to give up for a moment and sent Luo Jingyu to participate in language training. It is said that deaf children can recover some language skills and be more adapted to cochlear implant implants. What Luo Mingsong thought was that if his son learned language training well, he would grit his teeth and borrow money and take him to Beijing. After all, this is a lifelong thing, and it is too different for children.

Unfortunately, because Luo Jingyu has not had any listening stimulation since childhood, and has never studied language, he is very repulsive of the repetitive and boring language training, and he cries and makes trouble every day and is reluctant to go.

How could he understand what speaking means? He thinks sign language is speaking, so why should he press the teacher's throat with his little hands to perceive vibration? Why should he learn from the teacher's mouth shape and open his mouth to speak?

He couldn't hear it even after making a sound, and didn't know what he was saying or was it right. Sometimes a simple word would be said over and over again. No matter how you say it, he didn't know what was wrong. He felt that the shape of his mouth, tongue and teeth were clearly the same as the teacher, but the teacher said that his pronunciation was wrong.

He cried sadly, saying while crying, "After just persisting for a month, Luo Jingyu no longer wanted to go to Yushou. He wiped tears and wiping out the door and refused to go out. Once, twice, three or four times, Luo Mingsong and Yan Yajuan decided to give up.

Yan Yajuan thought it was nothing to be heard. They all grew up like this. In the future, Luo Jingyu could live a good life if she found a deaf girl.

Luo Mingsong was filled with guilt, especially after his son's fifth birthday, six, seven, and eight... He was getting older and farther away from cochlear implants, but their family still couldn't make up enough money and didn't buy a house. I heard that the welfare factory was about to be reorganized. If he had no job, the whole family would not know what to live on in the future.

These things were told by Luo Jingyu after he grew up. Luo Mingsong has always been full of apologies for his children, and the one who feels most sorry is Luo Jingyu. One is because he already has a deaf daughter, his son was born with defects, and the other is because of cochlear implants.

There are two things, the former could have been avoided, while the latter was due to limited conditions. Luo Mingsong felt that as a father, he really owed too much to his son and daughter.

Thinking of these things, Luo Jingyu's eyelashes drooped. He never blamed his parents. He blamed God when he was a teenager. Thinking that everyone is human, why is he born different from others?

Zhan Xi didn't know what Luo Jingyu was thinking. At this stage, his thoughts could not be expressed to her very well. This was a helpless thing. They had talked about this topic and agreed to take it slowly, not be anxious, and not be angry with each other because of this.

They all made plans in their hearts. He was willing to work hard for her to improve her writing skills, while she was willing to learn sign language for him.

At 10:30, Zhan Kaiwei was over. Zhan Xi went to the classroom door to pick him up. The little guy walked out with his schoolbag on his back and was not excited when he saw Zhan Xi, so he just called out: "Aunt."

Zhan Xi knew that his parents' quarrel would definitely have an impact on his nephew's psychology, so he gently coaxed him and asked him what he had learned in class.

Weiwei's next class is 1:30 pm, with three hours of free time. Usually, Zhan Xi would take him to the bookstore to read books or go to KFC to have a meal and rest. Qin Fei did not allow her to take Weiwei to play with amusement facilities, saying that the child would doze off in the afternoon when he was too tired to play.

But on this day, looking at the little nephew's drooping appearance, Zhan Xi softened his heart and asked him: "Weiwei, do you want to go to the amusement park?"

Weiwei looked up at her, blinked her eyes and said, "I want to, but my mother won't let me play."

"Your mother is on a business trip. Today my aunt takes you to play. We won't tell you mother, okay?" Zhan Xi touched his little head.

Weiwei finally got a little energy, jumped for a while and said, "Okay! I haven't played in the amusement park for a long time!"

"Well...before going to play, my aunt will introduce someone to you, who is my aunt's friend and an uncle." Zhan Xi led Weiwei to Luo Jingyu. When Luo Jingyu saw them, she stood up from the bench.

Weiwei asked: "Is he your partner?"

Zhan Xi blushed, and she didn't admit it or deny it: "Who taught you? He is my friend, right, it's him."

She pointed to Luo Jingyu a few steps away, and Weiwei looked at him and saw a very tall uncle.

Luo Jingyu was very nervous. Although the other party was only a six or seven-year-old boy, he still felt like he was seeing his parents. At this time, he put his hands in his pockets, tried hard to stand handsomely, and smiled at Weiwei.

"Call Uncle Xiaoyu." Zhan Xi said when he walked closer.

Weiwei raised his head and shouted politely: "Uncle Xiaoyu."

The three words "Uncle Yu" are so similar, they all pout. Luo Jingyu has been called "Brother Xiaoyu" by Gu Xinchi. He didn't realize what Weiwei was calling. He looked at Zhan Xi with inquiring eyes: "?"

Zhan Xi used sign language to compare a swimming "fish" and said funny: "Little Fish, uncle, uncle Xiaoyu. I am his aunt. Do you still want to be Xiaoyu brother?"

Luo Jingyu slapped his forehead and shook his head and smiled.

Zhan Xi squatted down and said to his ignorant little nephew, "Weiwei, aunt told you that Uncle Xiaoyu can't hear his ears and can't speak, but he can understand what you are saying. When you speak to him, you should speak face to face and slowly, do you know?"

After hearing this, Weiwei looked at Luo Jingyu again, with a surprised expression. He never knew that there were people who could not hear it and could not speak!

Luo Jingyu smiled at him, pointed at his right ear, shook his hand again, Weiwei said "ah", a little scared, and hid behind Zhan Xi.

Zhan Xi was unhappy and pulled his little nephew out: "What are you hiding from?"

The child didn't dare to say anything, and looked at Luo Jingyu with his eyelids. Luo Jingyu naturally wouldn't be angry. He even reached out to rub his head and compared a sign language to Zhanxi: [It doesn't matter, child.]

Weiwei watched him speak sign language and thought to himself that Uncle Xiaoyu said this?

Zhanxi and Luo Jingyu took Weiwei to play entertainment facilities. The children took a small train alone, jumped over the frogs and carousels, and asked to play with the building jumper.

The jumping machine in the small amusement park is actually very short and is for children to play with, and it is not very exciting. However, children under 1.3 meters still need adults to accompany them to sit.

Zhan Xi was afraid of the heights and refused to go to the scene. He advised his nephew not to play anymore. Wei Wei looked unhappy: "I just want to play this! The train is too naive!"

Luo Jingyu pulled Zhan Xi's arm, pointed at herself, and then pointed at the jumping machine. Zhan Xi asked his nephew: "Can you ask Uncle Xiaoyu to accompany you to sit?"

Weiwei thought for a while and agreed.

When we were playing just now, Uncle Xiaoyu was always by their side. Apart from not talking, he looked no different from others. He always smiled like a good person and bought him a grilled sausage.

Luo Jingyu took Weiwei in line, and Zhan Xi looked at them outside the railing. Luo Jingyu carried the children to the seat, sat down beside him, and helped both of them fasten their seat belts.

After the guard rod was pressed down, the game began. The row of seats of eight people were gradually rising. Luo Jingyu and Weiwei's feet were hanging in the air, looking down at Zhan Xi, who waved at them, and picked up his cell phone to help them take photos.

When the seat was raised to the top, it was about four floors high. Weiwei hugged Luo Jingyu's arm in fear. Luo Jingyu had never played with a jumping machine before. When the seat suddenly fell down, he was really startled and turned his head to look at the little boy beside him, and found that he was looking at him in surprise.
