C12— Teaching Danny To Read

Posted on April 8, 2022by UntamedS

    When he saw Cheng Hao and Danny coming together to look for him, Lin Yuxun was indescribably happy and excited.

 

 

 

    After his mother died and he was sent to a foster home, Danny became very introverted and always stayed at home.

 

 

    He wanted to let him go out at first, but then saw him being bullied and didn’t dare to let him go out again.

 

 

    How long had it been since Danny …… had gone out?

 

 

 

    Now Cheng Hao brought Danny to him, it felt like fireworks were released in his chest.

 

 

    Unfortunately, he didn’t know what to say, and even hugging Danny, he was stiff and unnatural because he had only done it several times before.

 

 

    No one had ever hugged him before, so he didn’t know how to hug someone ……

 

 

    Lin Yuxun quickly let go of Danny and took both Cheng Hao and Danny to lunch.

 

 

    Yesterday morning when Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun came to school together for breakfast, they met several people who spoke out against Lin Yuxun, but today no one did.

 

 

 

    No one paid attention to Lin Yuxun today, but there were people pointing at Cheng Hao.

 

 

 

    Cheng Hao gave them a cold look and they didn’t dare to stare at him anymore.

 

 

  Cheng Hao could guess the reason for their behaviour.

 

 

    The students in the school weren’t too old, he beat Chester and two others yesterday, and also told Chester about him being a boxer …… These people were most likely afraid after getting the news, so they were acting like this.

 

 

 

    This was quite good, Lin Yuxun could study and learn in peace.

 

 

    When Cheng Hao first came to eat, the person sharing the meal questioned him because he was unfamiliar, but when Danny came over, he didn’t ask anything, he just  gave Danny a little more apples.

 

 

     Today’s lunch was a burger, boiled broccoli and an apple, of which the burger was a sausage burger, said sausage was a thin piece of ham sausage, but at least it was a little meat.

 

 

    Danny couldn’t eat such a meal at all, Cheng Hao had to eat it, he also went to ask for an additional meal.

 

 

    The person who served the meal was already used to Cheng Hao’s big appetite, and there was no shortage of food on his side, so he was happy to give Cheng Hao a little more.

 

    Cheng Hao was very satisfied with his meal.

 

 

    He was in better shape today,  after eating two or three times as much food as others, and he was full, which was good.

    After eating, Cheng Hao said goodbye to Lin Yuxun and took Danny back to the place where they lived.

 

 

    Like yesterday, he opened the roll-up door halfway, and then played with Danny while doing some simple stretching exercises by himself.

 

 

     After playing for a while, Danny was still excited, but Cheng Hao felt that playing with paper planes and boats was a bit boring, so after thinking about it, he simply took out the poster that he used yesterday, and wrote Danny’s name in English on it for Danny to see.

 

 

    He pointed to the word and then pointed to Danny and tried to teach Danny to recognize words.

 

 

 

    It was more difficult for deaf people to learn to recognize words than ordinary people, but it wasn’t impossible to learn …… as long as someone patiently taught him.

 

 

    If Danny was a child with a lot of toys and Cheng Hao tried to teach him boring words, he might not be interested in learning, but Danny wasn’t like other children.

 

 

 

    His mother never bothered to take care of him, and then Lin Yuxun came and would take care of him, but Lin Yuxun had other things to do, and the time spent with him was very little.

 

 

 

    So, as long as he had someone to keep him company, Danny was happy to do whatever he could.

 

 

 

    After Cheng Hao wrote down the words, he traced them and soon he could write “Danny”.

 

 

 

    Seeing this, Cheng Hao taught him seven or eight words such as “hand”, “foot” and “nose”.

 

 

    Danny was very smart, but obviously not as good as Lin Yuxun.
He had to write many times to learn a word, and after a while, when Cheng Hao asked him to write it again, he had already forgotten.

 

 

    But Cheng Hao didn’t care.

 

 

    This was a normal kid!

 

 

Speaking of it, Danny was already very smart.
He used to have a younger brother, who was still young when he came to the boxing team.
He learned Chinese, mathematics and English every day.
At that time, he volunteered to tutor his younger brother.
As a result, a word made him teach his younger brother to read it hundreds of times, but he still mispronounced it.
He almost doubted life because of him!

 

 

    In contrast, Danny was already much smarter.

 

 

 

    As Cheng Hao taught, time flew by quickly.

 

 

 

    American public schools ended early, at 2:00 or 3:00 pm, but Lin Yuxun came back late yesterday and was also late today.

 

 

    Danny had already learned ten words, it was only the first day, there was no need to learn too much, so Cheng Hao planned to stop teaching first, but after thinking about it, he suddenly thought of something else.

 

 

    He called Danny over and asked him to write “I love you”.

 

    Although he hadn’t been around Danny and Lin Yuxun for a long time, Cheng Hao quickly realised that these two children lacked love.

    If not, Danny wouldn’t be so close to him after such a short period of time.

 

 

    And Lin Yuxun …… this child wasn’t yet an adult, yet he had to take Danny, he didn’t know how hard he…… letting Danny tell him “I love you”, would make him a little happy.

 

 

    However, the meaning of “I love you” was rather abstract and it was hard to feel it without actions ……

 

 

 

    Cheng Hao thought about it, pointed to the word, hugged Danny, pointed to the word again, and then kissed Danny’s forehead.

 

 

   He cycled back and forth several times.

 

 

    He didn’t know if Danny got it, but one thing was for sure, Danny was happy.

 

 

    Danny’s face turned red, he hugged him back and rubbed against him.

 

 

 

    Cheng Hao wasn’t young when he transmigrated, he had planned to get married and have children soon, now being so close to a child made that thought pop up again.

 

 

   It was good to have a child!

 

 

    Unfortunately, he wasn’t the same as he was in his previous life, he now had no money, no house and he was still a minor, marriage and children were too far away for him.

 

    The three words “I love you” were good to learn.

 

 

    Danny hadn’t learned anything before, but at least he was nine years old and wouldn’t be too slow to learn things.

 

 

    He wrote it a few times, and then he knew how to write.

 

 

    Cheng Hao picked him up and held him above his head as encouragement, thought about it and went outside the roll-up door, then came in from outside.

 

 

    Danny looked at him in confusion, he took Danny’s hand and wrote “I love you”.

 

 

    Then he went outside again and came back in …… Danny now understood what he meant and wrote the three words.

 

 

    “Danny is great.” Cheng Hao gave him a hug, then took Lin Yuxun’s clothes, went outside again, got in and pretended to look like Lin Yuxun with his head down ……

 

 

 

    Danny wrote the words “I love you” without even thinking about it – he understood what Cheng Hao meant and knew that he wanted him to write it to Lin Yuxun when he returned.

 

 

    After doing the exercise, Cheng Hao rummaged around the house and found another poster, and cut the torn edge of that poster, and finally gave the blank piece of paper to Danny.

 

 

    Danny put away that paper, and then began to stare at the roll-up door, seeing that the door hadn’t moved, he also took a wooden stick on the ground to write words, he looked especially well-behaved.

    Cheng Hao smiled at this, then he wrote a paragraph on another piece of paper: “My name is Cheng Hao, this year I’ll be sixteen years old, I’m from China.
I like boxing ……” He wrote a self-introduction, wrote some things about himself in the front, and introduced his country in the back: “My country is not developing very well now, but she will definitely get better and better… …”

 

 

    Cheng Hao wrote eight hundred words, and after he finished it, he was satisfied, and by the way, he corrected two typos.

 

    He planned to let Lin Yuxun learn this later.

 

 

    Of course, this article was a bit long, so he wouldn’t ask Lin Yuxun to learn it immediately, he could take his time.

 

 

 

    When Cheng Hao finished, he was already very hungry, and when he looked at the time, it was 5:00 pm.

 

 

    Lin Yuxun still hadn’t come back.

 

 

    Would he be okay?

 

 

    Cheng Hao was a little worried, he wanted to go to school to see, but then he remembered Lin Yuxun said he’d go to buy food, he was probably not in school ……

 

    Cheng Hao waited for a while, and at 5:30, Lin Yuxun finally came back.
He looked dusty and carried a plastic bag in his hand.

 

 

    When he saw Lin Yuxun come back, Cheng Hao’s heart finally relaxed, and Danny jumped up with joy.

 

 

 

    “Have you guys been waiting for a long time? Sorry ……” Lin Yuxun said somewhat apologetically, the exhaustion in his eyes could barely be concealed.

 

 

 

    “We’re not tired of waiting at home!” Cheng Hao said, while Danny had already run to the table at this time, and then picked up a pen to write.

 

 

 

    “Danny?” Lin Yuxun looked at Danny in confusion, and then saw Danny writing on the paper, and after he finished writing, Danny held up the paper to show him.

 

 

 

    On the paper was written “I love you”.

 

 

 

    After looking at these three words for a while, Lin Yuxun hugged Danny and suddenly burst into tears: “Danny, Danny ……”

 

 

    Danny was a little overwhelmed at first, but after a while, he hugged Lin Yuxun back.

 

 

    The two brothers hugged and cried.

 

 

    This scene looked especially touching.

 

 

    Cheng Hao looked at them for a while and finally took a deep breath, “Lin Yuxun, it’s okay, don’t cry.”

 

 

    Hearing Cheng Hao’s words, Lin Yuxun let go of Danny and dried his own tears and stood up.

    His eyes were red and tiny teardrops were still hanging on his eyelashes, he looked quite cute.

 

 

    Cheng Hao diverted his attention: “You bought food back? What did you buy?”

 

  “I bought bread, and sausages!”

 

    He looked very tired when he first came in, but now he looked like he was in great spirits.

 

 

 

    Compared to his previous appearance, Cheng Hao still liked his current appearance better.

 

 

     Cheng Hao replied, “Awesome, I can’t wait to eat it.”

 

 

    Lin Yuxun was a little embarrassed when he heard Cheng Hao say that, “The sausages I bought might not be very tasty ……”

 

 

    “Tony! Come out!” The sound of the roll-up door being rapped accompanied by the landlord’s voice interrupted Lin Yuxun’s words, “I saw you come back, get out here!”

 

 

 

    Lin Yuxun froze for a moment, and after putting the plastic bag in his hand on the table, he went out: “Mr.
Dampier ……”

 

 

    Cheng Hao wanted to follow him out, but since he lied to Mr.
Dampier that he didn’t live here, he couldn’t go out.

 

 

    “Tony, that tall yellow guy is living with you now, right?” Mr.
Dampier asked.

 

 

 

    Cheng Hao thought Lin Yuxun would deny it, but he didn’t expect Lin Yuxun to say, “Yes!” Hearing Lin Yuxun’s voice …… he seemed to be a little happy?

 

 

    Cheng Hao: “……”

 

 

 

    The landlord Mr.
Dampier snorted coldly, “I knew it, he must live here, he even tried to lie to me …… Tony, since one more person lives here, you have to pay me more rent, two dollars more per week, starting from this week!”

 

 

    “Mr.
Dampier, even if you want to add more rent, it should be counted from next week, I just stayed in.” Cheng Hao said, he had only stayed here for two nights!

 

 

 

    “But you still broke my door and didn’t fix it! You guys need to fix the door for me as soon as possible!” Mr.
Dampier complained, and used some abusive words when he said it.

 

 

 

    Cheng Hao couldn’t accept the fact that people here cursed at every turn, and his brow furrowed, but Lin Yuxun obediently took out two dollars and gave it to Mr.
Dampier.

 

 

    Mr.
Dampier took the money and finally stopped cursing, he didn’t forget to remind him, “You have to pay next week’s rent at the weekend, don’t forget.”

 

 

    “I won’t forget.”  

 

 

    Dealing with Mr.
Dampier was originally a difficult thing for him, but he was in a particularly good mood today, so he didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.
