Chapter 41 Sign Language
Ren Fenghe was picked up with a confused look on his face, and then put back on the ground with a confused look on his face.
She looked left and right. On the left was a healthy old man who was scratching his head in distress in front of his mobile phone keyboard. On the other side was an even more distressed young man who looked anxious and powerless, with tears in his eyes.
Based on this scene, Ren Fenghe guessed that the young person next to them was a disabled person who was asking for help, and Ms. Miao hugged her over because she wanted to help.
Seeing someone coming, the eyes of the old man and the young man lit up at the same time. The old man said to Ms. Miao anxiously: "Little sister, can you use a mobile phone? I can't help this little kid."
The old man's anxiety made Ren Fenghe worried.
Grandma Miao has been learning how to use a mobile phone, but she only knows the basics. As a child, she can't rashly take the phone to help.
She was trying to think of a natural reason to take the phone, but the next second, a shocking scene appeared.
Ms. Miao looked at the young man and made several gestures.
After making these gestures, the young man's face quickly showed a sense of surprise as if a long-awaited rain had finally come. He quickly raised his hand and communicated with Ms. Miao using gestures.
Ren Fenghe seemed to be meeting Ms. Miao for the first time. He looked at her in wonder and was stunned.
Unexpectedly, Grandma Miao could know sign language. Ren Fenghe was very impressed.
"Grandma, what are you doing?" She pretended not to understand and asked in confusion.
The elderly man next to them was afraid that Ren Fenghe's interruption would affect their conversation, so he explained on behalf of Ms. Miao: "They are using sign language."
After saying that, the old man looked at Ms. Miao with admiration and asked curiously, "Little sister, where did you learn sign language so fluently?"
Ms. Miao had just finished showing the young man the way and after confirming that he didn’t need her to lead him to where he wanted to go, she replied, “I’ve read a sign language book and I’ve also taken a class to learn it.”
"You are retired, right? Is what you learned useful in your job before retirement?"
Ms. Miao shook her head to indicate that it was not the case. Normally, Ms. Miao could chat with passers-by for half an hour, but when faced with an elderly person who seemed to want to chat, she looked at him but had no desire to say much.
"It's not because of work. Well, I'm going to take the kids and leave."
Ms. Miao picked up Ren Fenghe again and walked towards the barber shop.
Ren Fenghe always felt that she was picked up at this moment because Ms. Miao wanted to leave there quickly and didn't want to be dragged to continue the previous topic.
She stared at Ms. Miao curiously, almost looking through her face.
"Why are you staring at me?" Ms. Miao, who had been walking with big strides, soon carried Ren Fenghe to the barber shop outside the community and put him down.
"Grandma, what was that sign language grandpa just said?" Ren Fenghe acted like a curious child.
The innocent child looked at her with his big eyes, his eyes as clear as glass beads without any dark or sad emotions.
Ms. Miao squatted in front of Ren Fenghe. It was a bit difficult for her strong and fat body to squat, but she squatted anyway and pointed to her mouth and said, "There are many ways for people to communicate with each other. For example, we usually talk with our mouths."
She changed the position of her fingertips, pointed at her eyes and said, "Sometimes, you don't have to say anything, I can understand what you want to tell me with just a look."
Then she pointed to her heart and said, "Sometimes you don't even need to speak with your mouth or look at me, just sit next to me and I can understand what you are saying."
Finally, she pointed to her other hand and said, "The mouth, eyes, and heart can all speak. The hands can also speak. We call speaking with hands sign language."
Ren Fenghe looked at Ms. Miao.
Ms. Miao, whose voice always becomes uncontrollably louder and higher, is always as passionate and enthusiastic as her voice. But at this moment, as she was explaining to Ren Fenghe seriously, a quiet aura emanated from her.
Perhaps it was because the sky was gradually getting darker and the street lights in the community were turned on. The light shone into Ms. Miao's eyes, as if it brought out a layer of moist water color, like sadness.
Looking at Ms. Miao like this, Ren Fenghe felt a little sad.
She had a hunch that there must be a story behind Ms. Miao's ability to sign language, but she had no idea where to ask.
Ren Fenghe simply held the hand that Ms. Miao was pointing at and gently squeezed it with both hands.
Her two hands combined are not as big as Ms. Miao's one hand. There are many small scars on this rough, calloused hand, which are the traces of Ms. Miao's journey to where she is today.
The two of them stayed there quietly, seemingly reminiscing and thinking.
After a while, Ren Fenghe asked, "Can I also speak with my hands?"
"I want to learn too," she added.
Ms. Miao just smiled, and when she smiled, the wrinkles on her cheeks were like ripples on a lake.
She returned to her usual self, stood up again, and dragged Ren Fenghe to the barber shop, not forgetting to scold him, "Come on, you want to learn so much every day, how can you make time for sign language?"
"I'll count for you. You have to learn Chinese, English, and Korean. Xiao Shen also plans to teach you how to count. Oh yeah, when you went to Xiao Shen's studio a few days ago, did you pester him and say that you wanted to write songs like him? Then you have a lot to learn! Xiao Shen can play all the instruments in the studio. You have to learn to his level before you can write songs."
"Just do the math. You only have so much time in a day. How can you find time to learn sign language if you divide it up like this?"
"No way! I can learn it!" Ren Fenghe hurriedly pulled Ms. Miao's arm, showing her eagerness and seriousness. "Grandma, haven't you heard this saying? Time is like water in a sponge. I will squeeze out the water!"
Ms. Miao glanced at her sideways, the corner of her mouth curled up uncontrollably, "Come on, water in a sponge? Have you ever seen a sponge? From what cartoon did you learn that?"
Ren Fenghe muttered, "Anyway, if I say I will learn, I will study seriously. If you are willing to teach me, then teach me. If you are not willing, forget it."
"Oh, you're still angry, little one," Ms. Miao said when she saw that she was serious, "Okay, I'll teach you. If you don't learn after two days, I'll confiscate all your snacks."
Ren Fenghe patted his chest and said proudly: "Grandma, you won't have this chance!"
Although he spoke so heroically, Ren Fenghe couldn't help but count the time with his fingers out of guilt while lying on the shampooing bed washing his hair.
Get up at 8 o'clock, wash, eat, learn the language, take a rest, and then it's time to have lunch.
After lunch, I followed Jiang Shen to the studio to supervise his work, and also jumped around in the practice room with him to exercise, and then learned a musical instrument. Then it was time for dinner.
After dinner, Ms. Miao took me downstairs to take a walk to digest the food and then take a shower. Plus, I had to secretly catch up on some food in my room before going to bed, so there was not much time left.
Now I have to learn sign language.
Ren Fenghe couldn't help but be amazed. Her schedule was really tight!
However, although it is a lot, it feels really good to be exposed to things that I have never been exposed to before and learn things that I have never learned before.
Ren Fenghe, lying on the shampooing bed, put his hands together in the air, relaxed his fingers, brought his thumb and middle finger together, and made a ballet hand gesture.
Her life used to consist of studying and ballet, but now she is exposed to so many different things, which makes her life very fulfilled.
It was fun and interesting to see Jiang Shen dancing with her, it was also fun to hear her banging on his drum set, and it was also interesting to feel that she could understand more and more Korean in the materials.
Ren Fenghe's eyes sparkled.
This kind of life where you can run and jump, do whatever you want, and learn whatever you want -
So interesting!
"Little sister, close your eyes. I'm going to flush the water." said the gentle shampooing sister.
Ren Fenghe quickly closed his eyes.
The sound of water from the shower was rustling, and water of perfect temperature flowed through her ears. The shampooing sister was letting the water flow into her ears to clean her auricle. The water in his ears seemed to isolate him from everything outside, leaving Ren Fenghe in a world of his own.
How long can such an interesting and fun life last?
Can she stay in this body forever?
"Little sister, don't be afraid, it won't hurt you." While the shampooing sister was concentrating on washing Ren Fenghe's ears, she noticed her trembling eyelashes. Thinking that she was afraid, she released the hand that was holding her ear and let the water flow out again.
Ren Fenghe returned to this world again.
The sound in my ears became clear again.
She wasn’t afraid to have her ears cleaned, but she was definitely dreading it.
She didn't expect that she would unknowingly develop the idea of staying in this body forever and staying with Jiang Shen and Ms. Miao.
Could she have come up with the idea?
Ren Fenghe washed her hair and had it wrapped up. The force from behind lifted her up so that she could sit up instead of lying down.
After she came to this body, she looked for information about her original body. Zhang Tuanyuan was not in her body, nor had he appeared in her current body.
So, she could have come up with this idea, right...?
Thinking that she would have a video call with Zhang Tuanyuan's mother tomorrow, Ren Fenghe inexplicably felt timid.
Will she be discovered?
When Ren Fenghe was lying on the bed at night searching for materials, her attention could not help but wander. She kept imagining the scene where she was video chatting with Zhang Tuanyuan's mother and her mother saw through the clues at a glance.
This made her feel a little anxious again. She couldn't help but see the images on the tablet. She even turned the volume to the lowest level because the video sound affected her thinking.
Fortunately, she opened it to the smallest level.
Just as she was thinking about it, there was a knock on her door.
"Yuanyuan, can I come in?" Jiang Shen's voice sounded outside the door.
“Wait a minute!” Ren Fenghe yelled, and hurriedly deleted all the browsing history, cut the video to My Little Pony, and then shouted again, “You can come in!”
Jiang Shen looked at Ren Fenghe in confusion, whose face was red and seemed to be sweating. He walked to the window in confusion and opened it a little.
"Yuanyuan, are you hot? If you are, you can ask me to open the window for you."
Ren Fenghe stared at him resentfully, but he didn't understand her guilty conscience.
"I'm ready to go to bed." Ren Fenghe used this sentence to ask the other party why he came in, not particularly tactfully.
Jiang Shen nodded and said, "I know, I was ready to sleep but not yet, so I came just in time."
Ren Fenghe let out an "ah" in confusion.
Jiang Shen, who had been keeping one hand behind his back, raised the hand holding something in front of him.
