"He didn't bother me much. Your son is cute," said Grace. "However, he seems to crave noodles. He keeps staring at it."
"If you give him noodles, he may or may not eat it. He just likes to join in the fun," the woman said and started to gesticulate with both hands in front of the little boy.
Grace was stunned and immediately noticed what the woman was doing... Sign language!
"He..." she blurted.
The woman said, "He can't hear, but he already knows some sign language, so he understands simple gestures."
The woman said and continued to slowly say, "Apologize to Aunty," while signing.
Then, Grace saw the little boy bow in her direction as if to express his apology.
Grace could not help rubbing the little boy's head. He was so young, but he could not hear. Was all the sound in this world non-existent to him?
The woman carried the little boy away while Grace continued to eat her noodles, but it left her with a heavy heart.
She finished her noodles and was about to leave the small restaurant when out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a job posting on the door.
They were looking for riders to deliver takeouts.
Grace then turned around and headed to the cashier desk, asking the boss, "Are you looking for riders?"
