Just near dusk

Since the matter of Moxuyou's adoptive father was over, Xiaoman's condition has gradually improved day by day. He is autistic caused by the acquired environment, not because he has lost the ability to communicate subjectively. He is accompanied by Moxuyou and Li Wenjia. After a while, he was gradually able to speak. Even though he only jumped out of single words and couldn't express them clearly in sentences, it was enough to make them feel relieved.

Mo Xiaoman went to elementary school two years later than normal children. He was a bit taller than the children in the class, and he was dull and silent. He always sat in the last row and wrote homework quietly. In his daily class schedule, there are only two words that come out of his mouth.

The first word is a "good" that must be shouted every day in class, and the second word is a "see" that must be shouted every day when class is over, because everyone will say hello to the teacher when standing up in class, and goodbye to the teacher after class, Mo Xiaoman He can always stick to the last word very well and keep up with the rhythm perfectly.

Mo Xuyou had greeted the teacher in advance, and the teacher had a good impression of this little boy with excellent academic performance, who didn't like to make trouble, and didn't like to talk, especially in the class where the children of the same age were naughty, he was a breath of fresh air. Whenever a question was written on the blackboard, the child would silently raise his hand, finish writing with a wave of his little hand without thinking, and then walk back to his seat with wind.

But in contrast to his strengths, this kid's communication skills are really not good. He hardly talks to any students in the class. When he looks at others, his eyes are always floating in the distance. Well, never give any response.

This once made Mo Xuyou very anxious, thinking that the development of the child's EQ was a bit lagging behind, but he was still very calm on the surface, and took Xiaoman to do some recovery training every day, but it was repeated day after day, after countless times. After the lack of progress, Mo Xuyou really felt a little discouraged.

"Xiao Man, who am I?" Mo Xuyou took his hands.

"Brother." Xiaoman replied word by word.

"The answer is right, it's amazing," Mo Xuyou slowly guided: "Then what do you want to do now, do you feel hungry, then what should you tell me?"

"Hungry," Xiaoman expressed his current state.

"What do you want to do when you're hungry, tell your brother." Mo Xuyou continued to ask.

"Eat," Xiaoman said in one word.

"You put all these together and say, who wants to eat, and what do you want to eat?" Seeing his erratic eyes, Mo Xuyou immediately dragged him to him, "Did you get distracted again, what did my brother tell you before, to tell others When talking, you should look at the other person with your eyes, and you can’t look back and forth.”

But Xiaoman acted as if he hadn't heard him, and still looked around casually. Seeing him like this, Mo Xuyou was really a little anxious, and suppressed his voice and scolded him: "Xiaoman, be more obedient, if you don't cooperate again, you will be fined at noon No food allowed."

Xiao Man knew that Mo Xuyou was angry, he wrung his hands together, lowered his head and said nothing, this boy really looked a bit like his brother when he became stubborn.

"Oh, it's a trivial matter, why don't we just have a meal, why make such a big commotion?" Li Wenjia was on the sidelines as a peacemaker, he served the meals one by one, and invited the two ancestors to the table .

But neither of these two people gave him face, a table of delicious food, they insisted on not eating, each put on a dirty face to show the other.

"Well, I don't want to eat it, right? Then you just watch me eat it." Li Wenjia held the rice that was too sharp, and started to eat it deliberately. The nature of performance, it is delicious to eat.

He picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, shook it in front of Xiaoman's eyes, and ate it all in one bite, then he started picking up the second piece, and the third piece... If you say that this sweet and sour pork rib is Xiaoman's favorite food Yes, they are usually given to him to eat, but this time seeing all the ribs go into Li Wenjia's mouth, Xiao Man naturally couldn't sit still.

"I," Xiaoman pointed anxiously at himself, and then pointed at the remaining ribs.

"What's the matter with you, if you don't tell me, I don't know what you are going to do, the pork ribs are really delicious today." Li Wenjia said with relish.

"You, you, don't," Xiao Man forcefully popped out a few words, but his face turned red and he didn't finish the sentence.

"I don't want anything, I didn't do anything." Although Li Wenjia said so, the chopsticks were straight towards the last remaining rib.

"Don't eat!" Xiao Man yelled out forcefully. He used a lot of strength to say this sentence, and he was out of breath after he finished speaking, as if he had completed a major event in his life.

After hearing this, Mo Xuyou was stunned, suppressed the joy in his heart, and looked at Li Wenjia calmly on the surface, and then Li Wenjia continued to pretend nothing happened: "You want to eat, how do I know?" What do you want to eat, here, this cabbage is very delicious, you can eat it."

"I want to eat pork ribs!" Xiaoman actually said the second complete sentence, and the expression was clear, pointing to the point, the improvement is not insignificant.

"Okay, you have to tell me everything. If you don't tell me, how will your brother and I know? You see, as long as you open your mouth, the ribs will naturally be yours." Li Wenjia pushed the bowl containing the ribs to Mo Xiaoman, "here, hurry up Let's eat."

Xiaoman was also really hungry, and immediately began to eat big mouthfuls. Mo Xuyou, who was watching from the side, also felt a lot more relaxed. He felt that everything was difficult at the beginning. Now that Xiaoman has taken the first step, the days to come will not So difficult.

"Thank you." Mo Xuyou said to Li Wenjia softly. Li Wenjia's thoughts on Xiaoman were no less than his own. He accepted himself and this special younger brother at the same time. This kind of affection really made Mo Xuyou remember in his heart.

In the following days, Xiaoman has also been making progress slowly. Although he is still not talkative and taciturn most of the time, he can communicate normally. From the outside, he looks like an introverted child. In this way, Xiaoman grew up along a different track from ordinary children, until he found a job as a programmer after graduating from university, and he officially entered the society.

Mo Xiaoman's ability to work is needless to say, he has become a backbone within a short time in the company, but he really doesn't like interpersonal communication, except for work, he just goes home and rests every day, which is fine, the key is that others don't think so , in their eyes, Mo Xiaoman is a brat who is arrogant and conceited, and has no one in his eyes. These people are thinking of ways to punish Mo Xiaoman all day long. The key point is that Mo Xiaoman doesn't know what a trap is. He, after the company's information was leaked, he found out that they had set up a trick to frame him.

Framed is framed, Mo Xiaoman didn't explain, he lost his job just like that, the kid was not sad, he was still immersed in his own little world, in fact, Mo Xuyou gave him many tricks before, but Mo Xiaoman felt that I was so tired that I didn't listen to a word.

But this time he lost his job, Mo Xuyou felt that he was still not suitable to go to the company, and asked Xiaoman to take care of private work at home, so as to avoid too many interpersonal struggles, Xiaoman listened to it this time, and with Mo Xuyou's help Under the circumstances, Xiaoman's business gradually opened up.

Life is gradually getting on the right track, but Xiaoman's circle has become smaller, Mo Xuyou is not worried about him, after all, he is such a younger brother, as long as he is around one day, he will do his best to protect him He, but Xiaoman has grown up, it is impossible to stay by his side for the rest of his life.

"Xiao Man, you want to find someone who can accompany you, after all, brother can't always guard you." Mo Xuyou suddenly asked him one day.

"Let's go with fate." Mo Xiaoman said concisely, with a calm and breezy look.

"That's right, everything is predestined." Mo Xuyou patted him on the shoulder, "But you have to walk more on the predestined road."

Mo Xiaoman didn't know which way he should go, but when he had nothing to do, he would travel alone with his backpack on his back. Later, Mo Xuyou and Li Wenjia moved to the town where they live now, and they also prepared a house for Xiaoman. Xiaoman didn't want to live with the two of them, but he still lived there for a month or two every year.

This time, when he came back, it happened that Mo Xuyou was on a business trip, and Li Wenjia happened to be busy helping his friend with some goods. He also left early and returned late every day. People care that their ears are clean, and their steps are more leisurely when they go out for a stroll.

He stepped on the familiar bluestone slabs, habitually measured the distance from the door of his house to the river with his feet, stared at the lines on it, and tried hard to find the difference before, probably because he was too focused, and a person was in a hurry Walking over in a hurry, Xiao Man also forgot to dodge.

"Hey, I'm sorry." The girl quickly apologized, "I was in a hurry, so I didn't notice you."

"It's okay." Mo Xiaoman replied softly, but he just said this, and immediately moved out of the way.

The girl glanced at Mo Xiaoman, unexpectedly Mo Xiaoman just raised her head, looked at each other and then lowered her head in a panic, not knowing where to put her hands.

"I'm a volunteer teacher from the elementary school ahead, come and take a look when you have time." The girl looked at Mo Xiaoman's shy look and thought he was quite interesting, maybe the children would like it very much, so she said this casually.

Unexpectedly, this sentence made Mo Xiaoman's heart beat for a long time. Since childhood, due to his own personality, many girls are not willing to communicate in depth. He has never encountered such a situation like today. He stood there in a daze for a long time , In fact, the heart is full of turbulent waves, Mo Xiaoman is facing a difficult choice, to go or not to go, it will be very difficult for elementary school children to communicate, he may not be able to handle it, why not go, why Don't want to decline this invitation?

Mo Xiaoman struggled for about half an hour, and finally made a choice to go. He stepped on the bluestone slab rhythmically, and walked to the elementary school in front. He just stood at the door when he heard the sound of reading aloud. Standing outside, Looking in through the window, the girl's clear and beautiful voice came out.

"Students, next, copy this poem into your own homework. You must be serious and copy word by word. Don't be lazy." The girl said to the elementary school students in the audience. Naturally, although he looks like a little teacher in his gestures, he can't hide his playful spirit.

When she was watching the students copying things, she saw Mo Xiaoman standing outside the window, and immediately waved to him, "Come in!"

Xiaoman was taken aback, and before he knew how to react, he heard the girl say to the students, "Today, a big brother is coming to give us a lecture. Please give us a round of applause."

When the children heard that someone was going to give a lecture, they all showed great enthusiasm. The girl greeted Xiaoman: "Come in quickly, the children are waiting."

Forced by the expectant eyes of the children, Xiao Man had no choice but to walk in. When he saw the twenty or thirty children sitting below, he couldn't help becoming nervous, but the girl quietly encouraged him: "It doesn't matter, talk about what you are good at."

Xiaoman swallowed nervously, took two deep breaths, and did not refuse the girl's request. He liked to draw and draw since he was a child. He picked up chalk and drew a few apples and bananas, and then taught them math problems according to his own understanding. , I was a little nervous at first, but then I became more relaxed. The child's focused eyes gave Mo Xiaoman confidence. After a class, although his sentences were concise, he had successfully completed the task.

"Wow, your speech is really good, what do you study?" After class, the girl asked Mo Xiaoman.

"I study computer," Mo Xiaoman replied.

"No wonder my mind is so clear." The girl boasted, "I am a volunteer here and I come here every year. Are you a local?"

"I'm not, but I come back here every year." Mo Xiaoman said honestly.

"Then we are the same kind of people. If you come back in the future, you can come to this elementary school to teach. The parents of these children have gone out to work. They need a lively and interesting teacher like you!" Girl Sincerely said.

"Enen, yes," Mo Xiaoman felt a little embarrassed when he was praised, he summoned up his courage, looked at the girl and asked, "My name is Mo Xiaoman, what's your name?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Sun Yi. The children call me Jumping Teacher, because I tend to jump when I get excited." Sun Yi introduced herself generously.

"Xiao Man, nice to meet you." Sun Yi stretched out his hand and said.

Mo Xiaoman hastily touched her hand and then hastily withdrew it, feeling his heart was about to jump out of the sky. In fact, from this moment on, he felt that his share was destined.

Brother is right, you should go out more if you have nothing to do. After the two really got together, Mo Xiaoman thanked Mo Xuyou from the bottom of his heart.

Sun Yi's appearance was like a ray of light in the darkness, igniting Mo Xuyou's long night with a light that would never go out.
