Ten years of film queen, finally became a top star

Chapter 234 Deaf and Mute

There is a difference between the two small classes. One is a class where the children have already learned sign language to prepare for school, while the other class has children who have not even learned sign language.

Lu Shiyue knows sign language, so she is an assistant teacher in a slightly larger class, while Yu Jiang is in charge of a smaller class.

Not only is the division of classes for the deaf and mute section like this, but the division of classes for other sections is also roughly the same. The other guests are also in charge of small classes.

The head teacher of Yu Jiang's class is a young man named Liu. He doesn't look like a teacher but more like an athlete with a muscular body.

In addition to the class teacher, there are two other teachers and an assistant. Except for the class teacher, all the others are deaf-mute. Yu Jiang can only communicate smoothly with Teacher Liu.

The children in the class are between three and five years old. They do not go to the cafeteria for lunch. Instead, the meals are delivered to them by the cafeteria staff.

While checking the amount of food on the dining car, Teacher Liu introduced the next work flow to Yu Jiang and assigned her a simple task of distributing meals to the children.

Yu Jiang pushed the cart and put lunch boxes on each child's table. They were very well behaved and did not move around until there was a lunch box on each small table. Then everyone started eating.

The huge classroom was eerily quiet. Apart from the sound of some children tapping their plates with cutlery, the only sound was Teacher Liu's explanation.

"Because they can't hear, they don't know what they do will make a sound, and we need to correct this..."

"The children in the four rows on the left can listen but not speak. You just need to take care of them today."

Next, Yu Jiang moved among the four rows of children, and when they occasionally screamed, he would guess what they meant by gestures and meet their needs.

Although the other three teachers could not communicate with Yu Jiang, whenever Yu Jiang was at a loss, they would take the initiative to help.

After lunch, Yu Jiang was sweating profusely. It was not because of physical exhaustion, but because he could not understand what the child meant and was sweating anxiously.

During the lunch break after lunch, I walked out of the teaching building and went to the dormitory building.

The large dormitory with 20 people in a room is clean and tidy. The cartoon patterns on the wall make this place look full of childishness.

The reason for having multiple people in one dormitory is not because there is a lack of space, but so that teachers can take care of the children when they are resting. Having too many rooms would be inconvenient.

There are two dormitories, with one teacher in each room, and the four teachers take turns eating.

Yu Jiang was guarding the second half with Teacher Liu, so they had lunch first.

Huo Jingshu happened to be the one serving food in the faculty cafeteria. Yu Jiang enviously said, "Ah, why can't I cook?"

Huo Jingshu said with a bitter face: "Do you really think I have nothing to do? I want to exchange jobs with you. I hope my daily salary is higher than yours, otherwise I will suffer this hardship in vain."

Yu Jiang laughed and said, "Maybe after changing it, it will be worse than yours."

Seeing that her lunch plate only contained vegetarian dishes and no staple food, Teacher Liu said with concern: "Teacher Yu, if you eat like this, you won't have the energy to keep up."

"It's okay, Teacher Liu. I'm used to it." She didn't want to be like this, but unfortunately she was too busy now and had no time to increase her exercise, so she could only reduce her diet.

Thinking of the child who kept shouting during lunch, Yu Jiang asked, "Teacher Liu, what happened to the child who kept shouting and throwing things today?"

Teacher Liu sighed, "Le Le has only been with us for three days. He was rescued by the police from the Beggars' Gang. He may not be able to adapt to the new environment yet."

"Beggars' Sect?" Yu Jiang didn't quite understand why a term from martial arts novels appeared in this kind of conversation.

"They are a criminal gang that maimed abducted children and forced them to beg on the streets. The police sent over 20 people to the scene, and now more than half of them have found their parents. He was just brought back from the hospital three days ago."

Teacher Liu was there to help the child at the time, and it still hurts to think about it now. "He had just been abducted there, and his tongue had just been cut off when the police cracked down on the den. He was just one step away."

Yu Jiang had read about the child begging criminal gang when he was playing a policeman before, but when the real case appeared before him, it still felt unreal.

This type of crime is not even as profitable as organized prostitution, but some people set their sights on children who are easier to control.

For the sake of that little bit of profit, they extend their evil hands to the flower-like children.

I wonder if the screams of the children when their hands and feet were sawed off will always linger in their ears...

After dinner, Yu Jiang returned to the dormitory to change shifts. Looking at the rows of little heads on the beds, he felt complicated.

Most of these children were abandoned. Some were abandoned because they were found to have diseases, and some were even abandoned by their parents, which led to acquired disabilities.

They have done nothing wrong, they were just forced to come into this world and have to experience all the sufferings of the world.

Teacher Liu just said that very few children here are adopted, which means they will never experience the warmth of a family.

The conditions in the welfare home are quite good, but the emotional trauma cannot be healed.

Some of them were sent here by hospitals or the police, and some were transferred here from other ordinary welfare homes because they were found to have children with physical disabilities.

Such experiences have caused many of them to feel insecure, and it is common for them to wake up in the middle of a nap. Yu Jiang and Teacher Liu can only comfort them one by one.

The lunch break is over and the afternoon classes begin.

Teacher Liu and two other teachers and an assistant are always in the classroom. They are mainly responsible for taking care of the children's needs, while the classes are taught by another teacher.

The children in this class are all in kindergarten, so the teaching method is more inclined towards early childhood education.

First, they had a unified sign language class, and then the children were divided into two groups according to their situation. Two teachers taught voice and lip reading respectively.

Hearing-impaired children practice vocalization and lip reading, while deaf-mute children continue to deepen their sign language practice.

Yu Jiang followed the teacher all the way and cooperated with him to demonstrate the vocal cord position to the children.

During the afternoon class, the two teachers used a learning-through-playing method, and the children’s progress was clearly visible.

In addition to assisting the teacher as a "teaching aid" in the afternoon, Yu Jiang's remaining work was to take the children to the toilet and distribute snacks to them.

Today's work was not too hard, but I was nervous because I was responsible for ensuring the safety of the children.

I also get anxious along with the children because I often don't understand what they mean.

After listening to Teacher Liu talk about some of the children's experiences, Yu Jiang was in a bad mood.

In the afternoon, I even heard Lele's words becoming clearer and clearer, and Yu Jiang even hid in a corner and cried.

We take care of the children while they eat dinner just like we do at noon, and after dinner the four teachers take turns to lead them in activities.

It is the program crew’s custom that the guests have dinner together.

Yu Jiang and Lu Shisu, who were assigned to the same group, had not met each other until now.
