The Blind and the Deaf - Chapter 8

In winter, the biggest problem for Zhang is that it is especially cold to sleep. The staff dormitory is very simple, not to mention air conditioning, not even a heater. At night, he has to shiver when he gets under the icy quilt and sleeps for a long time before warming up, and then wakes up early in the morning.

Last year, Xiao Zhang was so cold that he pressed all his clothes on the quilt and had to fill a hot water bag to fall asleep. As a result, she still has blisters on her legs from the hot water bag, leaving a round scar.

This year, Xiao Zhang finally saved some money from his own work. He couldn’t afford to buy a quilt and wanted Mr. Miao to accompany him to the store to buy an electric blanket. He wanted to rely on that to make do for the winter.

On the weekend, Mr. Miao took some time off and led Zhang to the store. With fifty dollars in his pocket, Mr. Miao shopped around and found an old electric blanket with no temperature control and hard, rough material, but the price was within Mr. Miao’s budget.

Xiao Zhang weighed the price and decided to say, “Well, I’ll take this one. Mr. Meow, is it okay to look at it for me?” With that, he felt out the money in his pocket and shoved it into Mr. Meow’s hand.
Mr. Miao stuffed the money back to him again and said, “This kind of thing, don t buy it, the temperature can not be controlled …… unsafe. Winter …… is dry and flammable.”
Xiao Zhang hesitated, but on second thought, other shedding to buy ah.
Mr. Miao, “And, electric blankets open overnight …… unsafe. Not open …… still, cold.”

Xiao Zhang was poked by these words, more and more sad, “Then how to do, I cold ah.”
Mr. Miao pulled Xiao Zhang away from that store. The two turned to shop around for winter quilts, hearing those prices, Xiao Zhang became more and more depressed.

The two returned empty-handed, with Xiao Zhang still carrying that full fifty dollars in his pocket. He was mentally calculating whether he should allocate a few more payments to his winter warming program.

As he walked to the door of Mr. Meow’s Bakery, Mr. Meow said, “Xiao Zhang, come stay with me. I’m alone, and it’s a waste to keep the air conditioner on at night.”
Xiao Zhang was dumbfounded, his head spinning and spinning, thinking, Is Mr. Miao serious? The mouth first said, “This is too embarrassing …… Where can I trouble you so much, I’d better go ……” gritted his teeth, “and buy a blanket to press on the quilt. ”

Mr. Miao shook his head, “It’s convenient, you work.”
Xiao Zhang cried and laughed, thinking where is the question of convenience at work. According to his understanding of Mr. Miao, Mr. Miao is a person who has always been generous to others. If he stayed at his home, he would have packed three meals a day. If you can’t see, you can’t help, so it’s purely a waste of money.

Xiao Zhang said vaguely, “I ……” thought about it, but said truthfully, “I’m afraid of troubling you.”
Mr. Miao shook his head, “Come on” smile, “You also teach me, sing. I have been your eyes for so long, you also, be my ears.”
Hearing this, Xiao Zhang scratched his head hard and laughed in embarrassment.

That night, Mr. Miao went to Xiao Zhang’s dormitory and helped him carry some things home. To say that Xiao Zhang’s things, really not too much, a few pieces of old clothes, but washed very clean, toothbrush are used to warp hair, Mr. Miao directly to throw. Mr. Miao threw away his toothbrush. What was left were a few Braille novels, a small alarm clock, a pair of wooden chess sets, and a very old radio. It was obvious that the radio had accompanied him for many nights, and the words on it had all been touched off.

Mr. Miao held the things in both hands, and Xiao Zhang tugged on his coat corner, and the two of them returned home.

Now, this was also Xiao Zhang’s home.
