It has been a month since the operation, and it is finally the day when Lang Yue's implanted cochlear implant is turned on and adjusted.

This time, Sun Yanshi didn't tell anyone, and he and Lang Song took Lang Yue to the hospital.

The hearing technicians of the hospital and cochlear company technicians were present. Before the adjustment, the audiologist told Sun Yanshi and Lang Song that the sound heard through the cochlear implant is very different from the sound heard by normal people, and then listened to a simulated Audio for cochlear implant sound effects.

The expressions on the faces of the two were very consistent, the corners of the mouth were drawn, and the brows were furrowed, but they were not surprised.This is not the first time they have heard this kind of audio, they already knew everything they should know before Lang Yue's surgery.

But no matter how many times I listen to it, I still feel tight and sore in my heart.

The sound heard by normal people is clear and layered, and in most cases, multiple voices can be distinguished.For example, Lang Song is talking while washing vegetables by the sink, then Sun Yanshi can clearly distinguish Lang Song's voice, the sound of water flowing, and the sound of rubbing vegetable leaves.The sound of the cochlear implant is like a messy blend of all the sounds, without clear boundaries and levels, and it is sharp and unpleasant.It's a bit like the cold electronic sound made by the robot in the movie, and it's a bit like the sound made by being muffled in water, and it's a bit like the sound made in the wind like a whistle.

In short, it is very different from the sound heard by normal people.

After giving Lang Yue sufficient psychological preparation, Lang Song hugged her and sat on his lap.

The audiologist nodded, put the external device on Lang Yue, and turned it on.

Everyone held their breaths, the technician called baby, and then patted the table.

Langyue was still dazed at first, but suddenly her whole body trembled violently, then the corner of her mouth curled down, and she cried out in panic with a "wow".She is congenitally deaf and has never heard a sound. For her, "sound" is a completely strange thing. This is a normal reaction of a five-year-old girl to unknown things.

Lang Yue knelt on Lang Song's lap, crawled into Lang Song's arms with all fours like a kitten, crying and shouting something indiscriminately. After listening carefully, she could tell that she was calling her brother and mother. , Dad, Dad, in short, she called everyone she relied on.But because of her weird pronunciation and howling, it sounded like she was screaming.

Sun Yanshi pinched the bridge of his nose, took a deep breath, and suppressed the soreness that kept welling up in his throat.He walked up to Lang Song and grabbed Lang Yue's little hand.

Fortunately, Langyue is not a difficult child, and she has a relatively high acceptance of new things. After experiencing the initial confusion and fear, she became curious and excited, and then began to laugh.

Everything went well, and Sun Yanshi and Lang Song finally relaxed after they came out of the hospital.But after turning it on, it doesn't mean that it can hear well. Generally, it needs to be adjusted many times to let the child hear more clearly without feeling uncomfortable.Depending on the situation, it needs to be adjusted 2-4 times in the first month, and then debug once every half a month or a month, and once a year after stabilization.

After the operation, the two had already negotiated, and there was no rush to send Langyue to the speech rehabilitation center for the time being.The doctor also suggested to give the child an adaptation period, and the parents would accompany her to play some language games at home, so the two decided to wait a month for the headset to be adjusted before sending it to a professional institution.

On the way, Sun Yanshi discussed with Lang Song to ask Lang Yue for a few days off.For one thing, there are too many children in the kindergarten, and the noise is loud when they play, Langyue must not be able to bear it.Secondly, Langyue wears an external camera that sticks behind her ears, which will inevitably make other children curious. Let Langyue get used to it for a few days and teach her how to deal with other children's curiosity.

Lang Song naturally had no objection.He had to go to work in the afternoon, so he didn't go back to Lanying Lane. Before getting off the car, he asked Sun Yanzhi not to order takeaway at night, and he came to deliver dinner to the two of them.

Lang Yue couldn't understand the meaning of Lang Song's words, but she could hear the voice. She excitedly grabbed her brother's hand and asked him in sign language: Brother, are you talking? What are you talking about?

Lang Song patted his head, and combined his sign language with his spoken language, he said word by word: "I just said, you should listen to your father at home and don't run around."

Langyue remembered the last time that her father was bullied by the "bad uncle" because of running around, she lowered her head in frustration and guilt.

Sun Yanzhi was so distressed that he pulled Langyue into his arms: "Don't keep mentioning this, she's scared." This is true, since that day Langyue didn't dare to ride a scooter in the alley, After Huang Dou was sent by Zhang Wu, he only dared to stay in the courtyard for a few days.

Lang Song felt deeply wronged. Since that day until now, this is the second time he has seriously mentioned this matter to Lang Yue. He smiled helplessly: "You are too used to her, she has become more and more tempered recently."

"Little girls just have to be a little bit tempered," Sun Yanshi disagreed, "You're too honest to be bullied by little boys." After a pause, he added, "But don't be afraid, we will have two men to protect us every month from now on."

"In the future" and "we", these two words inevitably moved Lang Song's heart. He looked at Sun Yanshi, nodded and said, "Yes."

Sun Yanshi brought Langyue back home. Taking advantage of Langyue's nap time, he took out the laptop he hadn't used for a long time and went downstairs. He wrote a copy of "Rehabilitation Precautions and Rehabilitation Plan after Cochlear Implant Surgery Startup" just for Lang Yue. He sometimes frowned, sometimes thought deeply, and sometimes hesitated with his chin resting.

If Zheng Ye saw this scene, he would think that he traveled back in time two years ago and saw the ambitious and meticulous Sun Yanshi in the workplace.

After writing the plan, Sun Yanshi clicked "Save" to close the file, but he didn't turn off the computer immediately.He leaned back in the chair, folded his hands on his chest, and stared at the computer screen with deep eyes without blinking.

This computer is his previous office computer, which has been turned on several times in the past two years, so some office software and temporary files are still on the desktop. One of the files is named "XX Project Cooperation Letter of Intent". It was sent to Zhuo Li.

The small company that Zhuo Li is currently running in Province A was originally jointly owned by the two of them. Apart from the company, they also have a small house.They were not a legal husband and wife relationship, and he didn't ask to divide anything after they broke up, but just took away all his personal belongings from that house.

But on the day he returned to Jiangcheng, a huge sum of money was received in his account, and it was Zhuo Li who called him.Judging from the amount, except for that company, Zhuo Li should have left nothing behind.

If he just lives in Lanying Lane, this amount of money is enough for him to spend his whole life in peace and security.

Of course, he also accepted the money with peace of mind, otherwise he would not have dared to tell Lang Song that he was not short of money at all.

"Heh—" Sun Yanshi chuckled, putting away his free thoughts.He dragged the mouse, selected the file on the desktop, and clicked delete.

Previously, he declined Zheng Ye's suggestion to introduce himself to their company because he had not been in contact with the workplace for two years, and he felt that he was not prepared either mentally or physically, and even felt that he might have forgotten how to operate computer.But when he turned on the computer, touched the keyboard, and opened the office software, there was no strange feeling at all.Just like eating with chopsticks, a kind of muscle memory has been formed.

Sun Yanshi supported his chin with one hand, and pinched his chin, thinking in his heart that in addition to buying a car, finding a job should also be on the agenda.

How about the small shop?He didn't want to close the store. He chose to stay here two years ago to guard the store.

Or rent it out?

Sun Yanshi glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen, and before he knew it, it was already November, and he thought that the matter of finding a job and a store should wait until the beginning of next year. At that time, Lang Song should be a teacher. Lang Yue's language training There should be some results. At that time, the family of three will be on the right track in life.

The more Sun Yanshi thought about it, the more he felt that his plan was very good, so he turned off the computer with peace of mind.After Langyue woke up, he took her to a printing shop and printed out a few copies of the plan.

When Lang Song came home in the evening, Sun Yanshi proudly took out the plan, saying boldly that he would play a vital role as a family for Lang Yue's speech rehabilitation training.

Lang Song looked at Sun Yanshi's raised eyebrows, and nodded seriously: "Okay." Then he smiled, "You are amazing."

Sun Yanshi was taken aback, a little embarrassed by the praise, and always felt that Lang Song was coaxing Lang Yue.He pretended to be angry, rolled the paper in his hand into a roll, and looked at Lang Song's head: "No rules, no rules, you don't call me brother anymore."

Lang Song's complexion changed, and he changed the subject: "I'll go take a bath for Yueyue first."

After dispelling the initial fear, Lang Yue became excited like a wild horse after returning from the hospital, and refused to sleep after taking a bath.

Sun Yanshi walked into the room after taking a shower, and saw Lang Song sitting cross-legged on the bed, lowering his head and fiddling with something. Lang Yue was sitting beside her, looking at her brother's hand motionlessly.

"What are you doing?" Sun Yanshi also sat cross-legged on the bed, and leaned over to check.

Lang Song lowered his eyes, glanced helplessly at the jet-black hair rubbing against his chin, spread his palms, and explained: "I used wool to wrap Yueyue's ear hooks around her ear hooks to make them into hairpins, so that she could keep them in the hair."

Sun Yanzhi praised: "Good idea."

The external unit of the cochlea is connected by a wire, one end is a transmitting coil attached to the scalp, and the other end is an ear hook with a control unit and a battery box, which can be directly hung on the ear, and there is also a small clip that can be clipped on the collar superior.But hanging on the ear is not a small burden on the ear, and the stability is not very good.If it is hung on the collar, it is easy to be touched and torn off by kindergarten children playing around. It is firm and beautiful to make a hairpin and pin it on the hair.

Lang Song smiled, then lowered his head and continued to wind the yarn. After a while, he said, "Can you help me get the scissors on the table?"

Sun Yanshi tilted his head and saw the small scissors on the desk not far away. He was too lazy to put on his shoes, so he leaned out and stretched his arms to get the scissors.Unexpectedly, the center of gravity was unstable and he suddenly rushed forward, and he was about to fall to the ground.

"careful!"

At the critical moment, Lang Song's deep voice rang in his ears, and Sun Yanshi felt his waist tighten, and was pulled back.His heart skipped a beat, he couldn't help exhaling, and said in shock, "Scare me."

Lang Song let go of his hand slowly, and patted Sun Yanzhi's thin shoulder through the cloth: "Don't be afraid."

Sun Yanshi's body couldn't help froze, and certain images suddenly appeared in his mind - the day Lang Yue lost, he was at a loss looking for Lang Yue in the alley, and when Lang Song arrived, he hugged him firmly, with a firm tone "Don't be afraid"; at the gate of Lei Bin's house, Lang Song hugged him tightly, just like at this moment, whispering "Don't be afraid" in his ear.

There was a "thump" in the heart, and the heartbeat that hadn't calmed down accelerated and beat wildly for no reason.Sun Yanshi raised his head, looked at Lang Song's bright black pupils, and opened his mouth hesitantly.

"What?" Lang Song saw that Sun Yanzhi's expression was not right with his head down, and asked, "Are you scared? Or did you bump into something?"

Sun Yanzhi took a deep breath, and tried to raise the corner of his mouth stiffly: "No, it's okay, I was a little scared, I'll go to bed first, and you guys should go to bed early too."

After speaking, he got up and climbed into his bed.

Lang Song pursed his lips and raised his head, his deep pupils fixed on Sun Yanshi's body, he couldn't grasp the clue for a moment.

The next day, Sun Yanshi began to strictly implement the training plan for Lang Yue.Langyue likes to draw, so he accompanied Langyue to draw stick figures while teaching Langyue to recognize things.

He taught each word word by word, and Lang Yue listened with a half-knowledge.Anyway, the doctor also said, don't care whether the child will respond, the most important thing after turning on the baby is to instill language into the cochlear baby.

The two had a great time in the morning, and in the afternoon Sun Yanshi was about to watch cartoons with Lang Yue when a phone call came.It was the elder sister, the nurse who took care of Mrs. Zhang, who said that Mrs. Zhang was discharged from the hospital today.

Sun Yanshi went to see Mrs. Zhang twice, fearing that she would be stimulated by seeing him, so he went while she was asleep.

Mrs. Zhang fell down the stairs that day. Apart from some trauma, she really suffered a slight concussion.She was old and her recovery was slow, and she stayed in the hospital for nearly ten days.Aunt Ding took care of her on the first day, and then a nurse took care of her.

Sun Yanshi frowned and thought for a moment, then took Langyue's hand: "Come on, let's go to the alley and wait for Grandma Zhang."

The two walked slowly to the entrance of the alley, and a small black car happened to stop at the entrance of the alley with them.Sun Yanshi glanced at it indifferently, but saw a familiar figure opened the door and got out of the car, holding a white baby in his arms.

Sun Yanshi froze like a block of cement, watching Zhuo Li holding the baby towards him in astonishment, and said softly, "Little...no, Yanshi."

There was a brief blank in his brain, but Sun Yanshi quickly came back to his senses. He looked at Zhuo Li and the child who was about one year old in Zhuo Li's arms, and asked coldly, "Why are you here?"
