Chapter 72 He couldn't hear, not a sound at all
So, until he was forty years old, Zhou Shun lived alone and never got married.
Just because he doesn't get married doesn't mean he doesn't like children.
He likes children.
Especially this child he picked up from the trash can, he liked it.
After going through the adoption procedures, the child became Zhou Shun's child and was named Zhou Ping'an.
This is the name Zhou Shun gave him.
For this child, he wanted nothing but one thing, and that was: peace.
When Xu Qingling's eyes fell on the words "Zhou Ping An" in the household register, he flashed slightly.
Peace and peace are the only hope a father has for his children.
It's a pity that Zhou Ping'an still has no peace in the end.
He is dead.
Died at the age of 17.
He ended his short life and left his adoptive father who loved him forever.
Xu Qingling could not imagine how heartbroken Zhou Shun would be when he learned that Zhou Ping'an died, even in such a cruel way.
In the video, Zhou Shun is really nice to Zhou Pingan.
With the money I saved, I bought milk powder, milk bottles, small clothes, small shoes for Zhou Pingan...
I also used recycled furniture, disassembled it, re-cut it, assembled it, and carefully Polished and assembled a crib for Zhou Pingan.
He went to learn from his neighbors and learned little by little how to take care of Xiao Ping An.
Learn how to hold him so that he is most comfortable, learn to prepare milk powder for him, burp him, learn to give him a bath...
Zhou Shun takes care of everything in Xiaopingan.
When Xiaopingan was sick, I was so anxious that I shed tears. I carried him to the hospital, and spent the whole night holding and coaxing Xiaopingan while he was crying and receiving intravenous injections.
The neighbors all said: Zhou Shun, he treats Xiaopingan better than they treat their own children.
It was good luck for Xiao Ping An to meet Zhou Shun.
If you are unlucky, you may be sent to an orphanage.
Is the welfare home good? In fact, it's not really bad. I have food, clothing, and a place to stay, but in the end, there is one less person who truly feels pain.
Little Ping An grew up slowly like this.
From a little baby still in swaddling clothes, he slowly became able to sit, crawl, stand holding things, and walk with short legs...
Because I don’t know how to do it. He can talk, but Zhou Shun is afraid that Xiaopingan will do the same if he stays with him for a long time.
So I often take Xiao Ping An to visit.
Fortunately, those neighbors are wonderful.
After seeing Zhou Shun bring little Ping An, he would also let his children talk and play with Ping An.
The first words Ping An learned to say was "Dad."
It seemed that he realized that his father could not hear, but could only "see", so Ping An was calling daddy. At that time, he said it to Zhou Shun.
The little mouth opens and closes to form the word "Dad".
Almost instantly, Zhou Shun's eyes turned red.
He saw it, he saw Ping An calling his daddy.
But, he couldn't hear it, not a sound at all.
But he thought that to him, Ping An's call to daddy should be the most beautiful and sweet sound in the world.
It would be great if one day he could hear it.
Through the image, Xu Qingling saw the regret and hope in Zhou Shun's eyes.
After that, the time in the image seemed to fly by. When Ping An was six or seven years old, he was sent to school by Zhou Shun.
Although Zhou Shun himself has never gone to school, he loves reading and knows that it is very important to go to school.
As Zhou Pingan grew up, he also knew that Zhou Shun was his adoptive father and a deaf-mute. He was abandoned in the trash can and was picked up by his father.
Because his father raised him, he has a family.
My father never told him this, but the neighbors knew about it, and there was no concealment or taboo about it.
When Zhou Pingan grew up, he also grew into a good boy who was optimistic, strong, kind and grateful.
When he comes home after school, he will help his father with cooking, housework, laundry, etc. when his father is busy. Sometimes he will also help collect waste.
When I was in school, most of my teachers and classmates were good.
Of course, some people have colored glasses towards Zhou Pingan and his son.
For example, they would ridicule Zhou Pingan for being an unwanted child, so he was thrown into the trash can. For example, they would say that Zhou Shun is deaf-mute and runs a garbage dump. With such an adoptive father, It's so embarrassing...
When he heard it for the first time, Zhou Ping'an was so angry that his face turned red.
Not because they said they were children abandoned in the trash can.
He was indeed abandoned and thrown into the trash can.
They could talk about him, but he didn't allow them to talk about his dad.
For Zhou Pingan, Zhou Shun's father is the best father in the world. He only recognizes him as his father, and he will not feel ashamed because Zhou Shun is deaf and mute.
On the contrary, he felt that such a father, who was in such a difficult situation, could still raise him, give him fatherly love, let him have no shortage of food, clothing, and receive education. Dad, it was really great. Not easy.
What’s wrong with opening a garbage recycling station? That's how dad supports himself and him.
Every profession is equal and should not be discriminated against.
Every father who raises his children by his own ability should be praised.
What Zhou Pingan said was so good that not only did he silence the classmates who were mocking him, but even the teacher who came over after hearing the sound was moved.
Soon, the teacher praised Zhou Pingan and criticized the classmate.
After that, there were much less gossips about Zhou Shun and Zhou Pingan and his son.
Slowly, Zhou Pingan went to elementary school, junior high school, and high school. However, he dropped out of school after finishing his second year of high school.
It’s not that my family’s financial situation doesn’t allow it and I can’t afford the tuition.
Although the Zhou family is indeed poor, Zhou Shun has been working hard to save the tuition and living expenses for Zhou Pingan to go to school, and even plans to save money for Zhou Pingan to marry a wife in the future.
Dropping out of school means Zhou Pingan.
Because his grades are really not good.
He really has no interest in reading, and he works hard, but it is true that he has no talent in reading.
Under Zhou Pingan's pleading, Zhou Shun had no choice but to agree to his decision.
Zhou Pingan, who dropped out of school, is just 17 years old. He plans to find a job, a job that can earn more money, because... he plans to buy a cochlear implant for his father.
He knew that although his father could not speak, he could not hear any sound.
But if possible, dad hopes to become a normal person. Even if he cannot become a normal person, it would be good to make some changes.
He can't make his father speak, but he can try hard to buy a cochlear implant, which can always make his father hear some sounds.
Zhou Ping'an didn't tell his father about buying cochlea. He planned to give his father a surprise then.
He found a job moving bricks on a construction site, working on a real estate construction site built by Hengquan Group.
Here, minors are also required, but he is also 17 years old and is almost close to adulthood.
The salary for moving bricks here is not low, more than 10,000 yuan a month.
Zhou Pingan thought that the cheapest cochlear implant costs 50,000 yuan, and he would be able to buy it after about four months of work.
