Silent Hearts

Lin Mu considers himself a very sociable type of person, mainly because of Lin Chao's blessing. He remembered that when he was very young, he went out to play with Lin Chao. It was rare that his parents were not around, and the scope of activities was limited to those near his home. Sand pit and convenience store.

The siblings are beautiful and cute, quiet, well-behaved and lovable children, and of course they will be the center of attention wherever they go.

At that time, Lin Chao was obsessed with eating the banana-flavored "Binggray" in the convenience store. She couldn't buy it alone, and she had to wait for Lin Mu to accompany her every time. The little boy around ten years old was the most greedy. At the age of playing, even if Lin Mu has a good relationship with the Lin Chao siblings, occasionally there will be times when he dislikes his sister's troubles.

There was a swing in the sandpit, which was the position that all the children fought hard for. Lin Mu couldn't bear to get it down after grabbing it. Lin Chao made gestures by the side a few times, but he pretended not to see it.

In the end, Lin Chao got angry and walked towards the convenience store alone.

Lin Mu wandered around by himself for a while, and felt a little worried. He stretched his neck and looked across the road. The friends who were playing next to him were chattering non-stop.

"Your sister can't speak?" Most of the children don't have any specific concept of deaf-mute, and always look at their siblings, Jiao Buli Meng and Meng Buli Jiao, and find it strange.

Lin Mu was still a little embarrassed at this time, afraid that Lin Chao would lose face, so he only gave a vague "hmm".

The little friend said again: "Every time I talk to your sister, your sister ignores people."

Lin Mu was not very happy, and defended Lin Chao: "She didn't ignore people on purpose, she couldn't hear."

The little friend seemed to understand, and made a big fuss: "Is she deaf?"

Lin Mu glanced at him, a little uncomfortable and a little angry, he didn't know why he was angry, he got off the swing by himself, and stepped out of the sandpit with one foot deep and one shallow foot.

"Hey!" The little friend called him, "You don't want to play anymore?"

Lin Mu turned his head and said loudly to him, "I won't play with you anymore, I'm going to find my sister!"

Lin Chao was a little hesitant when standing at the door of the convenience store, she poked her head inside for a long time, and found that there was a different person at the counter, a young girl she didn't know.

Luo Yu actually didn't want to come to visit the small supermarket at home, but there was no other way. Her grandfather sprained her leg and her parents had to go to the hospital to take care of her, so she could only temporarily fill in the shift during the summer vacation of her freshman year.

College girls can't bear this kind of boredom. Luo Yu got up early in the morning and is still angry. She endured the heartache and rejected the invitation of her best friend's karaoke. It stinks very much.

The convenience store has an automatic door, and when Lin Chao enters, there will be a "Welcome" sound effect. Luo Yu didn't even raise his head, and it took him a long time to realize that there was a little girl standing in front of him.

The cold drink counter is behind the cash register, and the boss has to get everything he wants to buy.

Luo Yu probably guessed that the child wanted to buy a cold drink, so he stood up and asked lazily, "What do you want?"

Lin Chao tried her best to stare at Luo Yu's lips. She vaguely understood what the other person was asking, so she pointed to a piece of advertising paper on the counter.

It had "Bingray" on it, mixed in with many, many others.

Luo Yu frowned.

She didn't know why the little girl didn't speak, or if she was playing a prank, so she couldn't help but look cold, and asked again impatiently: "What do you want?"

Lin Chao's cheeks turned red quickly visible to the naked eye. She seemed to feel ashamed, but she was unwilling to give up just like that. After mustering up her courage for a long time, she raised her hand, touched her mouth, and waved it lightly.

Luo Yu came to his senses: "You can't speak?"

Lin Chao couldn't hear, so he could only point to his ear again and continue to wave his hands.

Luo Yu was a little surprised. She glanced at the door subconsciously, walked across the counter, and pulled Lin Chao's hand: "Where is your lord? How can I let you out to buy cold drinks by yourself?" Only then did she realize that the little girl listened. No, he simply brought the person into the counter and opened the cold drink cabinet.

Lin Chao looked up at her.

Luo Yu smiled: "What do you want to eat? Take it yourself."

Lin Chao understood this sentence, she hesitated for a while, stretched out her hand, and picked out a banana-flavored "Binggray".

Luo Yu helped her dismantle it. Lin Chao wanted to give money, but Luo Yu refused to accept it. She said, "My sister invited you."

Probably thinking that Lin Chao was a deaf-mute child who got lost somewhere, Luo Yu was worried that she would leave like that, and simply put him in the counter, thinking that if no one came after a while, he would call the police.

Lin Chao didn't know what happened. She obediently sat on the counter, sucking the crushed ice slowly, shaking her legs, with no expression on her face.

Not long after, Lin Mu came over.

He was so anxious that his head was covered with sweat, he was stopped by Luo Yu, who had a stern expression on his face, and taught him a lesson: "How can you leave your sister outside alone?"

Lin Mu couldn't argue, he felt wronged and guilty, took Lin Chao's hand, and whispered "I'm sorry".

Lin Chao didn't hear what he said, and just stretched out his hand to touch his younger brother's head.

Later, Luo Yu spent the whole summer vacation watching the store in the small supermarket. Her parents didn't know why their daughter, who was reluctant to do so, suddenly became active again.

Lin Mu spent significantly less time playing in the sandpit. He seldom went to grab the swings anymore, and even played house with Lin Chao.

When other girls talk to my sister, he acts as an interpreter.

"You play the mother." He signed to Lin Chaobi, and then said to the other girls, "Who will play the baby?"

No one would play the baby, Lin Mu sighed annoyedly, and finally said: "Okay, I'll be the baby."

Among the seven or eight-year-old boys, there are of course some annoying ones. Standing in the sandpit and making fun of Lin Mu for being a sissy, Lin Mu was so angry that before he got angry, the little girls who played "Dad" and "Mother" fought back first. .

Children of this age group fight regardless of gender, and even girls develop earlier and have advantages in height and strength. When the boy was pressed into the sandpit, he yelled "with real emotion": "Don't bully my child!"

Lin Mu wore some girls' handkerchiefs around his neck as "belly pockets", so he could only pretend that he was a real "baby" and cry a few times with all his might.

"I should have found out earlier." Lin Chao was sitting on a bench outside the convenience store, with a banana-flavored "Binggray" in her mouth, and she slowly signed with sign language, "You have been good at acting since you were young."

Lin Mu: "..."

After graduating, Luo Yu inherited the family business as a matter of course, and carried it forward, opening their small supermarkets all over the East District. Even after Lin Yan came to move, the siblings were used to going to her store to buy things.

"You should work hard too." Lin Mu persuaded his sister earnestly, "Don't be in disguise, I'm really too dangerous today."

Lin Chao smiled viciously, and "asked", "Did you really accompany Meimei to the women's restroom?"

Lin Mu gestured helplessly: "Of course not, I'll wait outside."

Lin Chao smiled and covered his stomach. Luo Yu came out holding his son who had just passed a hundred days. Seeing the two of them, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you laughing at? So happy?"

Lin Mu immediately said, "It's nothing, nothing."

Luo Yu didn't believe it, she lowered her head to look at Lin Chao, she was doing her brother a favor by being an older sister, she shook her head slightly, and stretched out her hand to hug her little brother.

Luo Yu carefully handed her son into Lin Chao's arms. She also learned sign language, pointed at Lin Chao and said, "If Lin Mu bullies you, tell me, and I'll beat him up for you."

Lin Chao shook Maomao's head in his arms, and gave Lin Mu a meaningful look.

Lin Mu was really about to die of injustice, and yelled at Luo Yu, "Sister! You can't be so partial!"

No matter what Lu Rong thinks, Lin Mu only optimistically feels that he should be safe and fooled this time. Now he is the same as Lin Chao, and he uses the word "fool", which seems better than "deception". Be just.

There is still the last day of military training in the first year of senior high school. In the afternoon, there will be an official "military parade". In addition to the stressful studies of the third year of senior high school, the second year of high school students will also go to see it.

As a result, when the phalanx was lined up at the end, the instructor called Mo Xiaoxiao and Lu Rong out alone.

"You two don't need to participate." The instructor said, "Take a break in the audience stand."

Lu Rong didn't seem to be surprised, he didn't intend to say anything more, he just stood there silently.

Mo Xiaoxiao was obviously not very happy: "Why? We can go too, and we won't hold back the team."

The instructor frowned, as if she felt that she didn't know what to do, and said patiently: "You are in a special situation, wouldn't it be good to rest on the audience stage? Everyone is considerate of you, don't think too much."

Mo Xiaoxiao wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lu Rong. He raised his head, his eyes were like black quartz stones reflecting light under the brim of his hat.

"We didn't think too much about it." He glanced around at the students in the same class standing in front of him, several of them averted their eyes and whispered.

Lu Rong twitched the corners of his mouth hypocritically, looked at the instructor at the same level, and said coldly, "Whoever thinks too much, who knows clearly."
