Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

What is a single man's biggest fear?

The answers may be varied and strange, but Wu Sansheng's answer at the moment is to take care of a child, and a curious baby who likes to ask a hundred thousand whys.

"Uncle San, Uncle San, why did that man look so dark?"

"Because that's a black man!"

Wu Sansheng responded weakly to the little nephew who was sitting on his neck, and he regretted very much that he should not have gone to his eldest brother's house.

Speaking of his elder brother Wu Yiqiong, according to his father's plan, his elder brother and his wife both went into politics.

Originally, my eldest brother and his wife both worked in the province, but this time, for some reason, they were suddenly transferred to Yanjing.

His eldest brother and his family had just arrived in Yanjing and were busy moving. He volunteered to go and help, but he didn't expect to get into such a trouble that he couldn't get rid of.

Wu Sansheng cursed himself inwardly for joining in the fun, while forcing himself to be alert and answer the questions of the little guy on his neck.

"Uncle Three..."

"Uncle San will buy you a candied haws!"

Wu Sansheng saw the department store not far away, and quickly interrupted his nephew's words. He ran towards the department store, rushed to the counter selling candied haws, and bought one for his nephew.

"Uncle San, ah..."

Wu Sansheng opened his mouth and took a bite of hawthorn. He immediately felt that his little nephew was really good. He even knew to let his uncle have a bite first.

"Hey, Wu Laosan, are you ashamed to take away children's things?"

Is this the voice of the big sister?

Wu Sansheng chewed hawthorn while turning his head to look behind him. Chang Laowu and Zhang Ziyue were standing not far away, holding some things in their hands. It seemed that they were also strolling around the department store today.

"Big sister, Ziyue, you are here too!"

Chang Laowu walked over quickly, walked around Wu Sansheng, and stared at the little boy riding on his neck in amazement.

"Wu Laosan, this isn't your son, is he? He's quite cute. Does Chen Wenjin know about this?"

Wu Sansheng couldn't help but complain: "Big sister, can you please stop accusing others and destroying their innocence? This is my eldest brother's son. Come on, Xiaoxie, call me aunt."

"Hello Auntie!"

Chang Laowu's eyes lit up, he stretched out his hand and rubbed Wu Xie's little head, and said with a smile: "Oh, this child is really good, come, auntie will give you an orange."

Chang Laowu took out an orange from his net bag and stuffed it into little Wu Xie's hand.

The little guy didn't take the orange, but shouted to Wu Sansheng: "Uncle San..."

"It's okay, just take it. By the way, don't forget to thank Auntie."

Upon hearing this, Little Wu Xie happily took the orange from Chang Laowu's hand and said to her sweetly, "Thank you, Auntie."

"So good!"

Chang Laowu couldn't help but rubbed little Wu Xie's head again.

Wu Sansheng glanced at the things in Chang Laowu and Zhang Ziyue's hands. He found that they were all fruits and snacks, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What are you going to do?"

"You said this..."

Chang Laowu picked up the things in his hand and continued, "Oh, you are talking about this. Ziyue and I will go to the second master's house to visit him later."

"Second Master, um, I'm going to go buy some things too. Can you guys help me look after Xiao Xie? I'll be back soon."

After Wu Sansheng finished speaking, he stuffed his little nephew into Laowu's arms without saying a word, then turned around and left.

"Eh?"

Chang Laowu looked at the little boy in her arms. His big watery eyes looked at her without blinking, as ignorant as a lost puppy.

Zhang Ziyue leaned over, stared at little Wu Xie, and said sarcastically, "Little guy, your uncle doesn't want you anymore!"

"you're lying!"

"Your Third Uncle doesn't want you anymore!"

"you're lying!"

Chang Laowu held up little Wu Xie's butt with one hand and held up the net bag with the other. He had no choice but to kick Zhang Ziyue's calf and said unhappily, "What are you doing? Don't make him cry. It's annoying when children cry."

So the two of them put little Wu Xie aside and started teasing the child. At first, they thought the child was cute, but they regretted it after a while.

Because this child is a curious baby, he will ask questions about everything he sees, which makes the two girls very anxious.

Zhang Ziyue pinched her brows and complained, "Now I probably know why Wu Laosan seemed to be running away just now."

Chang Laowu nodded and said, "My third brother is such a bad guy!"

Half an hour later, when Chang Laowu, who thought that Wu Sansheng had taken the opportunity to slip away, was about to explode, Wu Sansheng finally appeared in front of them.

"Uncle Three!"

Wu Sansheng picked up little Wu Xie and said, "Xiao Xie, were you obedient just now?"

Little Wu Xie nodded seriously, and the three of them discussed it for a while before leaving the department store and heading straight for a certain compound.

The three of them brought little Wu Xie into the compound and arrived at a theater with ease.

"Hello, Second Master!"

Er Yuehong nodded gently, then looked at the child who was singing, reciting, and acting on the stage.

Hey, isn’t this Jie Lianhuan’s little nephew? The three of them immediately saw Jie Lianhuan next to the stage, and he also noticed their arrival.

"Third brother, you are here too. Hey, this child is..."

Jie Lianhuan looked at the little Wu Xie in Wu Sansheng's arms, and Wu Sansheng had to explain again: "This is my eldest brother's son, named Wu Xie. Little Xie, call me uncle."

"Hello, uncle!"

"Well, go play. Don't run around, okay?"

Wu Sansheng put little Wu Xie down, and the little fellow ran to the bottom of the stage with his short legs, looking up and trying to watch his peers who were singing, reciting, and acting on the stage.

Xie Lianhuan came over and whispered, "His name is Xiaohua. You two should be good friends in the future, okay?"

"Ok!"

Little Wu Xie nodded like a chick pecking at rice. Seeing that he was very well-behaved and did not disturb his little nephew, Jie Lianhuan stopped paying attention to him.

Wu Sansheng came over and looked at the little fellow on the stage. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Er Yuehong who was sitting there. He whispered to Jie Lianhuan, "Why, do you plan to let Yuchen learn to sing opera with the Second Master?"

In the Nine Gates, since Er Yuehong had no children, many people in the Nine Gates wanted to send their own children to Er Yuehong as apprentices, so that they might be able to inherit Er Yuehong's family business.

Xie Lianhuan heard Wu Sanxing's subtext, shook his head and said softly: "It's not what you think. It's mainly because Yuchen likes opera. We just want him to come and learn from Eryue, and bring some family happiness to the Second Master."

"That's it..."

Wu Sansheng raised his eyebrows and did not refute Jie Lianhuan's words. Maybe the other party did think so, but he remembered that his father said that Master Jie Jiu was the most calculating person among the Nine Gates, and every move this master made must have a purpose.
