"Why don't you just work in my shop first, and then talk about it after you find a better job, I also have a house in the town, and my daughter doesn't usually live at home, you can live in my house, eat with me, as for the salary?"

"Uncle, can you take me in and take me for food and lodging, how can I ask for any more wages? I will definitely do a good job, whether it is in the store or at home, I will clean you every day, and I can also help you stir-fry." ”

"Do you still know how to stir-fry?" the old man wondered, but he also thought that the children of the poor would be in charge of the house early, and it was normal for children in the countryside to do farm work and housework from an early age, and to be able to cook.

"I will, Shui Bo taught me, he can fry any dish. ”

The old man laughed secretly in his heart, his Shui Bo must be a mountain man who has never seen the world, and he can fry any dish, and the people in the ravine can fry any dish, that is, this stupid boy who has never seen the world believes it.

"That's the best, I'll let you show your hand when I have a chance, you usually just need to help clean the dishes. He looked outside again at the rain again, "It seems that there will be no guests today, and I will take you to the house when the rain stops. ”

It rained for a long time, and it wasn't until four or five o'clock in the afternoon that the rain gradually turned light and slowly stopped.

The old man said, "Xiaoshan, let's close the door and go home." The two closed the door to the restaurant, and Hill followed the old man to the northwest of the town.

When he arrived home, the old man said, "My name is Liu Fu, and you can call me Fu Bo in the future." ”

"Yes, Fauber. ”

Fauber's home is not an ordinary kind of bungalow, it is a courtyard house.

The courtyard is divided into a front yard, a middle yard and a back yard, and the old grandson is in the middle yard.

There are four or five families living in each courtyard, walking into the middle courtyard, the courtyard is surrounded by residents on all sides, the middle is the courtyard, planted with flowers and trees and a few small vegetable patches, there is a swing in the yard, there is a little boy of five or six years old is sitting on the swing swing, expressionless.

"Little treasure, what about swinging?" Fauber walked over.

The little boy named Xiaobao didn't seem to notice their arrival.

Fu Bo sighed and said to Xiaoshan: "This is the son of the neighbor Qin's widow, he is like this when he is a child, he never speaks, he doesn't care about anything, and his mother is heartbroken for him." ”

"Fauber, is there something wrong with him?"

Fu Bo said: "It should be, anyway, it's different from normal children, don't talk, don't play with children." ”

Xiao Shan's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered something, "He may have autism." ”

"You actually know about this disease?" I didn't expect the children in the ravine to be quite knowledgeable.

He's right. A woman's voice rang out.

I saw a young woman walk out of a room, she was wearing simple short-sleeved clothes, it was difficult to hide her plump and mature body, a white apron was tightly tied to her waist, her fair and charming face was still charming, her long hair was coiled on her head casually, a wisp of green silk was on her full forehead, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked at the rustic young man in front of her with a little surprise.

"A year ago, the doctors at the hospital diagnosed that my little baby was suffering from autism. ”

Xiaoshan said: "I also heard from Grandpa Wan in the mountain, he once said that there are several diseases in the world that are difficult to cure, one of which is autism, also known as autism. ”

The young woman nodded, her beautiful eyes looked at Xiaobao, who was still swinging, and a look of pity shot out of her eyes, "This disease cannot be cured, and it will accompany the child for the rest of his life." ”

Fu Bo sighed: "That little treasure is too pitiful, and you are also in pain. ”

The young woman's eyes shot a sad look, "It's all fate......"

When Fu Bo saw such a scene, he couldn't bear to continue the topic, "Qin Xiang, let me introduce you, this is Xiaoshan, he came to work in my shop, he has no place to live now, let him live with me first." ”

Qin Xiang cleaned up her mood and said with a smile: "Hello, my name is Qin Xiang, just call me Sister Qin, welcome to our courtyard, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Xiao Shan nodded with a smile.

Fu Bo said: "Qin Xiang, is Xiaoying out of school?"

"You should be back soon, Uncle Fu, you came back early today. ”

"There are no customers in the store in the rain, and I have to settle down in Xiaoshan, so I closed early, Xiaoying after school, come to my house for dinner tonight, I will cook a few more dishes." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Fu, I'll help in a while. ”

"It's all neighbors, what's polite to me!" Fauber turned his head and said, "Xiaoshan, let's go to your house and have a look." ”

Fauber led the hill to a room, and he pointed to the room next to it and said, "This is my room." He pointed to the largest room, "This is the living room, and there are two suites in it, which my daughter lives in, and she doesn't come home often." Fauber's eyes flashed with gloom.

The room is not large, only more than ten square meters, and there are a lot of miscellaneous items, and there is a bed and a desk with a lamp as the only furnishings.

"If you're not too crowded, you're going to stay in this room. ”

"Thank you Fauber, that's already good. "Along the way, I slept in the wilderness, and now it is a great gift from God to have a bed to sleep in, and I secretly swore in my heart that I must work hard for Fu Bo and repay him.

"Your clothes are wet, have you changed them?"

Xiaoshan shook his head and said, "No." ”

Fu Bo sighed: "You are out of the house, why don't you bring a change of clothes, if you don't dislike it, I will take my clothes and change them for you temporarily." ”

"Not really, I promise it'll be dry in a while. ”

Seeing that he insisted, Fu Bo said: "The young people in the mountains are in good health, and they are not afraid of getting sick and catching colds. ”

After Fauber left, Xiaoshan opened the bag he brought, there was a set of clothes and a pair of shoes, the clothes were very simple, a set of clothes as black as the night, there were no extra patterns, they were smooth as silk water to the touch, they felt very good, the clothes took up very little space, and the shrinkage was very strong.

The shoes are also extremely soft to the touch, and they are very comfortable to bend and stretch.

These shoes and clothes were personally sewn for him by Sister Hua in the mountains, and he was reluctant to wear them, which was the only gift she gave him.

He sat down at the head of the bed and closed his eyes, and after a while, a white mist appeared all over his body, and his wet clothes quickly became extremely dry.

He put the bag under the pillow on the bed and walked out of the door, Fu Bo and Qin Xiang were busy cooking in the kitchen, Xiaobao in the courtyard was no longer swinging, he was spinning in the middle of the yard, and his mouth was still whining wolf howl.

After a while, he stopped, and went up to the ground to grab the pebble, put it in his hand and looked at it vigorously, with an indescribable expression of enjoyment, Xiaoshan's heart moved, walked into the door, and took out a few colorful small stones from his bag.

Coming to the middle of the courtyard, Xiaoshan held the stone and shook it in front of his eyes, Xiaobao was immediately attracted by the colorful stones, and as Xiaoshan's hand shook, his eyes also swayed.

Xiaoshan put the stone in front of his eyes, "Do you want to play?"

Xiaobao's eyes finally looked at him, and they should have looked at the stone that Xiaoshan had placed in front of his eyes.

There was longing in his eyes.

"If you want to play with stones, you look me in the eye and call uncle. ”

Attracted by the colorful stones, Little Bono said: "......"

He really couldn't speak, but he wanted the stone, and began to stomp his feet impatiently.

Xiaoshan stretched out his hand and touched his head, Xiaobao suddenly calmed down, "Uncle...... Uncle ...... "He finally spoke."

"That's good! reward you for playing for a while, and give me the stone before eating. Xiaoshan handed him the stone, and Xiaobao's eyes lit up.

"Xiaobao......" Qin Xiang rushed out of the kitchen excitedly, "I heard you right just now, did Xiaobao speak?!"

Chen Feng nodded.

Qin Xiang picked up Xiao Baolai and spun around in the air, and shouted happily: "Xiao Bao has spoken, Xiao Bao has spoken......

Xiaobao was frightened by Qin Xiang's holding in the air, and Xiaoshan hurriedly said: "Sister Qin, he is afraid of heights, let him go." ”

Qin Xiang hurriedly put him down, "I was so excited, I didn't expect him to speak, Xiaoshan, how did you do it just now?"

Xiaoshan said: "Grandpa Wan in the mountains said that if this kind of child is guided by the right method and special treatment, it is possible to become a normal child. ”

Qin Xiang said excitedly: "You mean Xiaobao can become a normal person?"

"It was Grandpa Wan who said that he specialized in these incurable diseases. ”

"Then can I take Xiaobao to your grandfather Wan for treatment?"

"Of course, but he left the mountains a year ago, and I don't know where he went, and if I see him again, I'll let him help." ”

"That's a shame. Her expression turned worried, but she immediately thought of Xiaoshan and said, "Brother Xiaoshan, do you also know how to treat it?"

Xiaoshan shook his head, Grandpa Wan can't cure it, he can't do it, and even if he can cure him, he can't tell strangers, Shui Bo said that there are two things that can't be exposed when he goes out, one is property, of course, he is penniless, this is not a problem. Another is talent, you must not show your ability, you must be low-key, only in this way can you better protect yourself.

Of course, special treatment is given in special circumstances, and for trustworthy good people, he can show his ability to help them, but now that he has just come to the hill outside the mountain, he doesn't know a few people at all, let alone a good person, but Fu Bo must be a good person, so he wants to help him.

"I don't know, I've just heard him say about this disease, it seems that there is something called applied behavior analysis that can help with treatment, I don't understand, he said that there are some autism institutions in the city that will have this kind of rehabilitation treatment, but this is also a symptom but not a cure, and it needs to be treated physiologically and in other aspects. ”

Qin Xiang remembered that when Xiaobao's illness was diagnosed a year ago, the doctor also said that this kind of institution was impossible, but public institutions didn't matter and they couldn't get in at all, and private institutions were terriblely expensive.

She inquired, a private autism rehabilitation institution is more than 10,000 yuan a month, which has caught up with her salary for more than half a year, she really can't come up with so much money, she can only watch Xiaobao delay at home, but recently heard that there is a starlight rehabilitation center in Linghai is recruiting children from difficult families in the society, and the tuition fee is only one-third, she is working hard, but it is not a lot, it also costs three or four thousand yuan, and she is also considering whether to change to a higher salary job.

Because her daughter Xiaoying also has to pay messy tuition and miscellaneous fees when she goes to school, and there are more and more of them, and now even the air-conditioning fee and monitoring fee have to be shared equally by the parents of the students.
