A Tooth For a Tooth

"Don't remember that I told you that my ears are not good?" Dr. Xu turned his ear to let him see after speaking.

Looking at it this way, he couldn't see Mingtang. Yang Ren stared at his ear for a while, only to find that there seemed to be a plastic thing in Dr. Xu's ear. come out.

Only then did Yang Ren know that the thing with a diameter as large as a fingernail was a hearing aid, which was completely different from his previous perception of hearing aids that hung behind his ears.

Dr. Xu told Yang Ren that there are many kinds of hearing aids. The one he wears is the ear canal type, and there are smaller ones.

Yang Ren shook his head, lamenting his ignorance.But it is still difficult for him to understand what he called "hidden clumsiness". After all, it is just that his ears are not good, but normal communication is not a serious problem.

So Yang Ren asked: "I don't like to talk because of my bad ears?" These two things don't seem to have much connection.

Xu Yao explained seriously: "Because I can't hear clearly, I can't pronounce clearly."

Yang Ren stared at him for a long time, thinking back from the first time he lay on his treatment chair until now, if he didn't mention it, Yang Ren would never have found out about his poor hearing.After carefully recalling their two conversations, I feel that Dr. Xu's speech is okay, but occasionally he can hear some nasal sounds, but he finds it very charming.

Yang Ren told him what was in his heart, Xu Yao smiled helplessly, and said after a long time: "You don't know how much effort I have to put in every moment to make you feel that I am no different from ordinary people."

Later, when they got closer, Yang Ren knew that Xu Yao was indeed a deaf person, not just a little hard of hearing as he imagined.

Xu Yao has two pairs of hearing aids. Because he cares about face, most of the time he wears small ones that can be hidden in the ear canal. He only uses the ones that can be used by individuals when they need to hold meetings or other important occasions. Notice the hearing aids that hang behind the ears.

Yang Ren asked him if there was any difference between the two, and he explained that the behind-the-ear hearing aid has more power and can hear more clearly, but the smaller the hearing aid is, the worse the maximum compensation for hearing will be.

Yang Ren glared at him: "In order to be able to hear better, wear the big one."

Xu Yao curled his lips and said to him: "You can't understand what I told you. In your cognition, myopia can be recovered by wearing glasses, but hearing is not the same. To be exact, these two hearing aids are right For me, the effect is similar, because the noise in the surrounding environment is too much, which interferes too much with me, no matter which hearing aid I wear, I basically rely on your mouth shape to guess when you speak."

At that time, Yang Ren had already started to worship Xu Yao. He couldn't imagine that a person could have such a powerful ability. No wonder every time Yang Ren spoke, he felt that Xu Yao was looking at him affectionately. At the beginning, his eyes looked like this It made Yang Ren particularly fond of him, and now I realize that it was because Xu Yao needed to see his mouth shape.

Yang Ren didn't expect that he would become good friends with a dentist who helped him see his teeth. The first time he was born and the second time he was acquainted, probably because of Yang Ren's persistent spirit, because every time we parted, he could always think of a way to meet each other next time. reason.

After eating together that time, seeing that we were about to part ways, Yang Ren had no choice but to fumble in his trouser pocket, and took out a business card, which was printed by his part-time boss at a private computer company on weekends. There were only a dozen or so sheets in total, and he didn't care about the many, so he took them out and handed them to Dr. Xu.

"Although I haven't graduated from university yet, my computer skills are absolutely reliable. If you have any problems with your computer, please call me. There is my phone number here." Yang Ren pointed to the row of small characters.

Knowing that he was a student, Xu Yao took out a business card all of a sudden, was quite surprised, took it and read it carefully several times.

"It's true." Yang Ren nodded at him.

Xu Yao believed it and asked, "I can find you for computer problems?"

"Of course." Yang Ren was overjoyed, stretched out his finger "six", and made a phone call gesture.

Yang Ren still uses the business card given to Dr. Xu back then. I don’t know if he was worried that he would not be able to find him in the future, so after graduation Yang Ren really went to that small private company, but his job is no longer The little broken reminder back then has become the second in command.He grew up with this small company, from ten people back then to nearly fifty.

Before leaving get off work, Yang Ren was turning the business card in his hand. For some reason, his toothache was gone, but he still thought of that person.

Throw your business card on the table like a game of poker and force yourself to look ahead.After punching out of get off work, the time was just right, so he called his father and told him that he would go to the kindergarten to pick up the child today.

Thinking of his son's smiling face, all bad emotions were put aside.

Yang Ren habitually touched the corner of his mouth, because there was a small scar there.Then he lit a cigarette, finished smoking in the smoking area, dusted off the smell of cigarettes on his body, and then set off.

Yang Ren arrived early, and his son's class hadn't finished school yet. Together with many parents, he lay on the outside of the big iron gate and kept looking inside.

The teacher in the tender pink sportswear just led the children to line up to the door, and many parents got excited, reached into the iron gate fence, pointed and said: "This is our little flower." The one with the bow tie is our family, Shasha."

Yang Ren rarely came here to pick up his children, and he didn't know any other parents. Because they got together after school every night, they seemed to have become very familiar with each other.

A woman suddenly said to the man next to her: "Look, the fifth little girl is that little mute, she is so pretty, what a pity."
