A Tooth For a Tooth

Soon Yang Ren went to the street to find out the situation, and learned that the Disabled Persons' Federation had held such a Braille training class recently, so he directly signed up for Xu Yao.There are a total of five students in this class, all of whom are acquired blindness. The course lasts for three weeks and is taught by a very young female teacher.

When sending Xu Yao there on the first day, Yang Ren was more nervous than his own son about starting school. He brought Xu Yao a thermos and made chrysanthemums and goji berries. Afraid of scalding, he insisted on waiting for the water to dry before closing the lid.

The classroom is not big, but everyone has a big table. The teacher arranged for everyone to sit down, and then handed out tools for writing Braille. She turned her head and saw Yang Ren was still standing outside the door, so she smiled at him and said: " You can go and come back after class."

Yang Ren rubbed his hands nervously, and said embarrassedly: "Teacher, can you come out for a while? I want to tell you about Xu Yao's situation."

That teacher was quite nice, he really walked to the door of the classroom, looked at Yang Ren with sincere eyes, and waited for him to continue.

Yang Ren said: "Xu Yao has a hearing impairment, I'm worried that you guys can't communicate normally, you can see if I can... can I accompany you to read."

Seeing Yang Ren's blushing face, the teacher smiled slightly, saying that it is best not to accompany him, and asked him how he usually communicates with Xu Yao, Yang Ren naturally refused to say that Xu Yao can recognize language by touching his mouth, so he had to say: " You speak loudly in his ear, just repeat it a few times."

"Well, don't worry, our communication should be fine." The teacher smiled.

Yang Ren was still worried, and said anxiously: "Then please repeat it a few times, he can't hear clearly, I'm sorry to ask it a few times, I'm afraid others will be impatient. And he doesn't speak very clearly, but if you listen carefully, you should be able to I understand."

The teacher's smile gradually expanded, and he said to Yang Ren: "Don't worry, we will be more patient than you imagined as special education."

"Thank you very much!" Yang Ren clasped his palms together to express his gratitude slightly.

"You are his...family, right?" The teacher smiled, "It can be seen that you really care."

family.

The word reappeared, soothing Yang Ren's heart that was hanging in the air. He nodded, and couldn't help but look into the classroom, where Xu Yao was sitting there, touching the school tools on the table expressionlessly.

Yang Ren went to Kang Xiaomeng and asked her what gifts girls of her age like.

"What's wrong? Who are you going to give a gift to?" Kang Xiaomeng asked alertly.

Yang Rencai said that he wanted to give Xu Yao's Braille teacher a gift.

"Yang Ren!" Kang Xiaomeng yelled angrily, "When Tongtong was in elementary school, I said I would give gifts to the teacher, but you refused to give them life and death. Now Xu Yao is going to a training class, so you just give gifts?"

Yang Ren smiled guiltyly, and said, "Isn't Xu Yao more difficult to learn than other students, I hope that teacher can help him more."

"You're treating him differently!" Kang Xiaomeng said to him, but he didn't even reply, he persistently asked the young girl what kind of gift she liked, so she began to prepare.

Yang Ren gave the teacher a bottle of perfume, and then some small gifts one after another, but Xu Yao didn't know about these, and Yang Ren didn't want him to know either.He just hoped that the teacher would treat Xu Yao better and not make him feel frustrated or helpless.

In fact, for adults, it is not easy to learn a new language or characters. Braille is naturally the better the more primary school, but Xu Yao is an exception. His hands-on ability is very strong, and the touch is surprisingly good .

These five students are all adults, the oldest is 60 years old, and the youngest is 22. They have not been blind for a long time, but they all find it very difficult to touch the blind spots.But after two classes, Xu Yao was able to figure out the initials of Pinyin.When the teacher and Yang Ren praised Xu Yao, Yang Ren became proud unknowingly, even more proud than Tongtong who scored [-] points in the exam.

Yang Ren waited outside the classroom every time, and went in as soon as the class break, and then took Xu Yao to the toilet, and helped him fetch some warm water.Until one day, the teacher told him that there is no need to be so nervous by Xu Yao’s side, give him some space to study by himself, and make friends with others, take him to do things like go to the toilet once or twice Just let it go.

Yang Ren thought about it, and knew that what he did was really not conducive to Xu Yao's independent development, but as soon as he left his sight, Yang Ren felt anxious.He talked to the teacher and asked if there was any good way to make life better for deaf-blind people like Xu Yao.

The teacher told Yang Ren that he must cultivate his independence and give him his own space, otherwise it is easy to have hallucinations for this kind of double sensory deficit.

"Hallucinations?" Yang Ren was surprised, this was the first time he heard this word.
