Chapter 437 Let Them Live
That night, Yaoyao returned home with a portable AVS device. This was the first time in two years that she saw the world again. Everything she was familiar with seemed to have changed.

For example, she found that she had grown much taller than the chair without knowing it. No wonder it was getting easier and easier to climb up the chair now; The function can still be used normally --- no wonder my brother has to listen to the voice prompts to operate every time he helps me find cartoons; also, the sister named Chuya really can't be called auntie, and Uncle Ye and Uncle Chen are not the same The "uncle" in her concept is so old.

Everything was new to her. After the initial panic, her childlike nature regained the upper hand. On the way back, she kept trying to get close to the car window to see the world outside when the lights came on. The helmet banged the glass.

Yang Yijin was protecting the lens on her head, for fear that she would accidentally damage this hard-won "eye". The two twisted back and forth, and the other tried to stop them until they returned to the village in the north of the city. Yaoyao finally calmed down.

After tossing and tossing for a day, she was actually already tired, but she couldn't bear to go to sleep because she couldn't bear to part with the world in front of her.

Everyone in the neighborhood screamed when they saw Yaoyao coming back, especially after confirming that she could really see, everyone was so excited as if they had witnessed a miracle.

People without eyes see the world again.

At this moment, for the first time, human beings have realized the desire for eyes and vision that has taken root since ancient times.

Among the many neighbors, the one who showed the most excitement was the second uncle who bought snacks for Yaoyao and gave her bacon. Zhou Du began to feel bored, but Yaoyao still answered his questions tirelessly.

In the end, the second uncle laughed and burst into tears, and no one knew what kind of emotion this kind of laughter came from.

Natural compassion for a helpless child?Witness the shock of a reversed fate?Or is it a surprise that the incredible power of science and technology happened around me?

Probably all of them, but the most important thing is that this little guy whom he has been taking care of for two years, finally has a world of her own.

When Yaoyao thanked him and turned to leave his room, he subconsciously stood up and followed behind her, but suddenly sat down feeling lost.
-
Harm, I no longer need to take care of her in this way in the future.

But unexpectedly, Yaoyao stopped after two steps, then turned to look at him and asked:

"Second uncle, why don't you follow me? My brother invited everyone to dinner today!"

The second uncle was taken aback for a moment, and it was only then that he realized for the first time that Yaoyao had always known that he was following her.

That's right, she lost her vision and her hearing is more developed. How could she not hear her own staggering footsteps?
He wiped his eyes with his hand, and said:
"Okay, okay! The second uncle goes to cut some meat, you and your brother are waiting for me at home!"

The dinner of this day was naturally arranged by Ye Zhou—or more precisely, by Wu Ping. Among the neighbors who were close to the Yaoyao brothers and sisters, they were all invited to the dinner. Due to the location of the two brothers and sisters’ homes Too small, and finally booked two tables in a nearby restaurant to celebrate the 7-year-old girl's rebirth.

Naturally, children are not allowed to drink alcohol, but Aunt Liu and Second Uncle, who are the guardians of the community, toasted Ye Zhou and his party on behalf of Yang Yijin on their own initiative.

"Mr. Ye, today I am a bit disrespectful as an old man. Don't take offense, I am really happy!"

"I watched Yaoyao grow up. I hugged her when she was born. At that time, they lived in the building on the other side of the courtyard. Her father lived outside all the year round. It was inconvenient for her mother to take her up and down the stairs alone. , I’ll give you a hand when I see you.”

"Just ask Director Liu, how cute Yaoyao was when she was young, there is no one in our area who doesn't like it!"

"When she was less than one year old, Yaoyao was able to walk. Wearing crotch pants, she babbled around in the alley, and everyone who drove by had to stop to tease her before leaving!"

"I didn't expect that, it was a fire"

"Why do you think it's such a coincidence? After all, the family reunites and celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Master He, don't talk about this!"

Aunt Liu on the side quickly patted the second uncle's arm, he was taken aback for a moment, and immediately stopped talking.

"Yes, yes. You see, I'm also an old fool. After drinking two glasses of wine, I talk too much. By the way, Mr. Ye, how long can your helmet last? Is it charged?"

"You have to ask Teacher Chen."

Ye Zhou smiled and pointed to Chen Li who was beside him, who quickly replied:

"It is recharged, and it can last for more than 40 hours on a single charge, but it is best to develop a habit of charging once a day, so as to avoid the trouble of suddenly running out of power the next day."

"It's really convenient. It's more convenient than my mobile phone. The power of my mobile phone will bottom out in half a day. Do you think it's annoying?"

"Then it's time to change the battery of your mobile phone—hey, it's still Apple's, Second Uncle, let's replace it with a domestic one. The battery life of domestic mobile phones is longer now."

Ye Zhou glanced at the second uncle's cell phone and said jokingly.

"That's right! My daughter bought this phone for me. It's not easy to use! I'll replace it in two days. By the way, Mrs. Ye, this helmet can only be used by Yaoyao alone, and it can also be used by blind people use?"

"This technology can be used, but for now, only Yaoyao can use the helmet on her head. It's like custom-made prosthetics. Everyone's size, strength, and strength are different, so they can't be shared."

"That's the truth!"

The second uncle took a sip of the wine in the glass, then sighed and said:

"Now this science is developing so fast. You said that when I was young, who would have thought that I could have this kind of technology? I can still see without my eyes. It's just like a fairy magic!"

"If I have to say that I have dealt with many blind people in my life, Fa Xiao in the village when I was a child, Old He Tou who was blinded by the molten iron while working, and Xiao Sun. Director Liu who had an eye disease two years ago, just in our area, There are quite a few people who are blind, right?"

Aunt Liu on the side nodded and replied:
"That's quite a lot. There are more than 2000 people in our residential area, and there must be more than 60 blind people, and some are partially sighted and semi-disabled. There are all kinds of people who add up to less than a hundred."

Hearing this, both Ye Zhou and Chen Li showed somewhat surprised expressions on their faces.

How come there are so many?

Calculated according to the proportion, the proportion of blind and severely visually impaired people in China is about 1% to 2%, but now it seems that the proportion of this type of disabled people in this area has almost reached 5%.

Ye Zhou opened his mouth to ask a question, but suddenly swallowed back the words that rushed to his mouth, because he suddenly realized the reason for this imbalanced ratio.

They are now located in the north of the city, which is called the "slum area" of Yuhang by outsiders.

Most of the people living in this urban village are the bottom-level people who live in poverty and have no fixed source of income. The composition of these bottom-level people and the disabled group is actually highly repetitive.

Poverty due to illness, and illness due to poverty, this is an endless cycle that no country has ever broken for thousands of years. China still has a long way to go to break it.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou sighed softly, and then asked:
"Director Liu, are these people's lives guaranteed?"

Aunt Liu on the opposite side was obviously hesitant. She didn't know Ye Zhou's identity, so she didn't know how to express it in front of him.

Ye Zhou saw her embarrassment, so he said bluntly:

"Don't worry, you will tell the truth today. If anyone troubles you afterwards, I will immediately dismiss him."

Aunt Liu glanced at Ye Zhou, then at the two guards standing at the door, and after a pause, she finally spoke:
"Ms. Ye, since you said so, I won't hide it from you."

"To be honest, there's nothing to hide - everyone can see it. Yuhang is one of the richest places in China."

"You said whether their lives are guaranteed, then there must be. But to what extent?"

"There is no way around this. If the country wants to develop and the society needs to progress, there will be more places to spend money."

"We have a massage shop for the blind, and we have also set up a coffee shop for the blind, but to be honest, the effect is very bad."

"Their life is very hard. During the holidays, we rely on our neighborhood committee to send out some meat and rice flour oil in order to have a meal of dumplings."

"Just this year, it's only been 6 months, and 4 people left in our area, all of them were harmed, let's not talk about it."

Hearing this, Ye Zhou finally truly felt the pain of these disabled people, especially the blind. For them, their most important connection with the world has been cut off. They have no job, no source of income, and just Just "alive" is already in an extremely fragile balance, and once this balance is broken again, isn't the only choice left for them to be the most extreme path?
He suddenly understood why Huaxia in that timeline in the simulator would promote the development of AES technology in such a radical way that he thought it was incomprehensible, because this technology definitely brought more than just what he had been doing all along. The cold "5% to 10% increase in productivity" is actually a "way to live" that is really placed in front of these people.

Literally the way to live, the way that people can live.

Ye Zhou let out a long sigh of relief. At this moment, the haze cast on his heart by that ending completely dissipated.

You know, after watching the ending, he once wondered whether the Chinese officials on that timeline had undergone some kind of change that he didn't want to see, whether they had already been defeated by the torrent of capital, Did this change happen in that timeline, or maybe it happened in my own timeline.

But now he understood that this was not the case.

Those people's original intentions are still there, but they have taken too many steps in certain technologies.

Thinking of this, he raised his wine glass in relief, and said to Aunt Liu in front of him:

"Director Liu, don't worry, we will solve this problem sooner or later."

"Give us a little more time."

"Not only this technology, but also a wider field, everyone is working hard."

"One day, we will enable the invisible to see, the deaf to hear, the legless to stand up, and the unable to live to live."
