The owner of the store downstairs is always ignoring people and speaking slurred.

Every time he saw him, he would move a small bench and sit there, watching "Huanzhu Gege" on an eleven-inch TV.

I don't like to go to him to buy things, other bosses are talkative and diligent, where is like him, except for watching dramas, I don't care about anything else at all. But his family's things are cheap, and a box of nephrite jade is less than five cents, so my grandfather always sends me there to buy cigarettes.

That day, my grandfather came to the house, and when he ran out of cigarettes, he asked me to buy them again.

I didn't wash my hair and face, so I had to bite the bullet and hurriedly go downstairs with a mask.

Sure enough, the commissary owner was watching TV again.

I said, "Take the bag of nephrite."

He didn't hear it.

I knocked on the glass, and the lollipop shelf on the table shook, "Boss, let's wrap nephrite."

He looked at it with great fascination, startled for a moment, and then turned around.

I was a little anxious and pointed to the cigarette holder: "Nephrite."

He was stunned and took out a pack of Marlboro from under the cabinet.

At the time, I was quite angry and blamed him for not being able to do business.

I zoomed up the volume: "Soft Yuxi."

He nodded, and muttered, "Oh, Yellow Crane Tower." I shook my head and said, "Nephrite, Yuxi."

His face flushed, a little confused, and the name of the cigarette was in his mouth.

I was stunned for a moment, and finally realized that he was deaf.

And I was wearing a mask, and he couldn't hear me, and he didn't even have room to make out his mouth.

But instead of asking me for help, he tried, pretending that he just didn't hear clearly.

At that moment, I suddenly felt guilty, pulled down my mask, exaggerated my mouth and said, "Nephrite."

He recognized it immediately, then bent down and took a cigarette.

I handed the money over, and he pulled out a flat five-cent sheet and gave it to me, and hurriedly turned his head again, and the roots of his ears were red.

We were all embarrassed at that moment.

I discovered his secret, and I was ashamed of my anger.

Later I always went to him to buy things.

His stuff is cheap and of good quality, but he is a man of few words.

I finally understood the meaning of the fact that he hadn't finished reading a single "Huanzhu Gege" for a year, and he was repeatedly learning the way people spoke, so that he could understand the customer's requirements more clearly.

And every time I check out, I always think about the dilemma of that day.

Life is not easy, and God is also very unfair, even though he is already familiar with the shape of other people's mouths, but there are always moments when he can't escape the need to use his hearing.

At that moment, he was red-faced, embarrassed and helpless, but he did not admit defeat and show weakness, he repeatedly chanted the names of different cigarettes in his mouth, in fact, he was trying to maintain his careful self-esteem.

And at that moment, I was suddenly shocked from the merciless blame for the world, and suddenly moved my heart of compassion for the insistence on being born as a human being.

The world is ridiculous, but there are always people who try their best to live, just to save the accident.
