uncle

The little rabbit suddenly jumped in fright.

Not only does he have a big beard, but he also has red eyes and looks very haggard.

Are you the rabbit or am I the rabbit?

The man did not say anything, just looked at him and Xie Shiming. Shen Chu's little face was clamped in the rabbit headgear, making it round. He ran in such a hurry that he forgot to take it off. Except for the long rabbit ears, everything else was round.

At this moment, the man and Shen Chu met each other's eyes. He patted the sawdust on his legs and asked, "What are you looking at, little rabbit?"

"Your family only lets you two siblings run around?"

Brother...brother and sister?!

Who is the brother and who is the sister? !

The little fat rabbit snorted. If he hadn't been naked, he would have taken off his pants to show this man!

Making a face at the man, Shen Chu pulled Xie Shiming and turned to run away.

Let them get back to their carpentry work.

However, Chen Chu and Xie Shiming could only help out at best, such as passing tools or finding parts, and then they would sit on a small stool, watch from the side, and chat with the owner from time to time.

Of course, it was usually Shen Chu who did the talking. Xie Shiming didn't say much, but he was watching very seriously.

I'm not sitting very comfortably today.

Chen Chu pulled the short tail behind his buttocks. Hearing the sound of wood being rubbed next to him, which was louder than here, he still couldn't suppress his curiosity. He put his little hand to his mouth and whispered cricket, asking who the person next to him was.

It felt like a big wolfdog that had been lost for who knows how long and couldn't find its home.

The shop owner glanced over, and then he also put half a bracket on his lips and whispered:

"I don't know either. I came here today and said I wanted to make something. I've been here for quite some time."

Shen Chu opened his mouth into an "O" shape. No wonder he had never seen her before. She had just come to the store today.

Usually, people who come to this store want to customize a wooden product. The store provides wood and tools, etc., and they spend time here to make what they want by themselves.

The man was obviously the latter, and he seemed quite skilled in doing it.

I just don’t know what they are doing, and the owner doesn’t know either.

"I asked him if he needed help, and he said no, he wanted to do it all by himself. I think he wanted to make it as a gift to someone very important. The wood he chose was also very solid, and it seemed like he put a lot of effort into it."

Shen Chu held his chin and nodded his little head, and his rabbit ears swayed.

He hasn't taken off his hood yet.

Don’t ask, the answer is that I won’t be able to see anyone if I take my hairstyle off!

The little fat guy also cares about his image, okay?

He didn't want to have a round, flat head that stuck to his scalp. That would be too embarrassing. He might as well continue pretending to be a rabbit.

Oh, it’s so worrying. He made a great sacrifice today.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there were few people in the store. Shen Chu thought that apart from him and Xie Shiming, no one else would come today. After all, Shen Yi and Shen Sui’s birthdays were in a few days, so they were still in a hurry.

But I didn't expect that there were still people here today——

When Shen Chu and Xie Shiming were about to leave, the man hadn't left yet.

The owner lives upstairs and he likes to do handicrafts, so he often stays in the workshop downstairs and closes the shop very late. But today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and even Shen Chu and Xie Shiming didn't stay long, but this guy is still here.

And there was no intention of leaving early.

Xie Shiming gave the mooncake to the store owner.

Because he had just tried to inlay a wooden Rubik's Cube himself, the owner helped him a little.

Shen Chu still had the mooncake he had snatched in his pocket. He took it out and looked at it, thinking that when he got home in the evening, his mother would be there and would make them small mooncakes. Otherwise...

The man was still doing carpentry work. The large piece of wood in his hand had already begun to show wrinkles, like a small stool with curved surfaces, but it was not just a small stool. In any case, it was still impossible to tell what it was specifically.

I was working hard with my head down when I felt something poking me in the back.

When the man turned around, Chen Chu held the mooncake in front of him.

"for you."

The man raised his eyebrows in surprise.

“Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!”

Having said that, without waiting for the man's reaction, she stuffed the mooncake into his arms, and then continued -

"uncle."

The little fat boy stuck out his belly and said in a clear voice: "Actually, I have a little penis!"

"cough!"

"slightly."

Shen Chu made a face again, then pulled Xie Shiming away again.

Let’s go, let’s go home!

Xiang Xinghe came to his senses only after the two children had run out of sight.

The mooncake was stuffed into his arms, still carrying the child's warm body temperature. It was probably a mooncake specially prepared for children. There were even cartoon stickers on the packaging bag, and the mooncake was even made in the shape of a little bear, which was very cute.

Thinking of the words that the child suddenly said just now, Xiang Xinghe couldn't help but laugh.

This was probably the first time he laughed since returning home this week.

However, when he thought of something, the smile on Xiang Xinghe's lips slowly faded.

Back then, his parents broke his legs, restricted his personal freedom, severed their relationship, and some other things happened, so he had to leave the country and go abroad. Over the years, he hated, suffered, felt helpless, and missed them, but he always thought that they should be living well in the country, after all, he took so much money...

But when he returned to China again, Xiang Xinghe was shocked.

He never thought that this would happen in his family.

The phrase "family broken up" could actually happen to him.

But he knew nothing about this and continued to live abroad for many years.

Thinking about the things he had inquired about, Xiang Xinghe didn't know how he had managed to survive these days.

If Xu Ronghua had not called him, he would probably still be in great grief, living like a wandering soul every day, forgetting that there was a little nephew waiting for him, that was his only remaining relative.

His name should be Shen Chu. He was taken away by his sister accidentally with the youngest son of the Shen family.

I just wanted to search for more information and news online, but found that a lot of information had been quietly blocked, especially the relevant photos and videos of the two children, which had also been processed and could not be found at all.

But it’s also good this way. Although Xiang Xinghe cannot see his little nephew in advance, at least from the perspective of handling relevant information on the Internet, the Shen family has done a good job. After all, reducing children’s exposure is also a way to protect them.

I hope this is what he thinks - to protect the children, and not for any other reason.

Thinking of this, Xiang Xinghe couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Coincidentally, the phone rang at this moment, and the caller ID was "Xu Ronghua".

Xiang Xinghe stood up and picked up the phone.

Xu Ronghua's loud voice soon came through the phone -

"Hey, buddy, you should be in City B by now, right?"

"Yeah, here we are."

Xiang Xinghe pushed open the shop door and walked out, finding a tree to lean against. By now the sky had darkened and the street lights were on.

He wiped his face and suddenly realized that he hadn't shaved for several days.

"I just arrived today and haven't had time to contact you yet."

"Oh, you're welcome. I didn't expect you to have this kind of relationship... Oh, I'm just worried about you. After all, I invited you from abroad with great difficulty. The film cooperation can be put aside for now. The main thing is that you can recover first."

"Yeah, it's okay."

Xiang Xinghe paused, then continued:

"Can you take me to the Shen family birthday party you mentioned?"

This return to China was also an opportunity, because Director Xu's film had started shooting, and many empty shots needed to be shot on location, and the scenes had to be grand and spectacular. However, after shooting over and over again, the final results were not very satisfactory, so I came to him.

They met at a foreign film festival. Although they were in different fields, they were both Chinese. After getting to know each other by chance, they found that they had similar personalities and got along well, so they exchanged contact information.

Xu Ronghua was his senior, and this time he invited him sincerely, so Xiang Xinghe couldn't refuse.

It just so happened that he had just finished his current work and returned home.

He just said he wanted to go "home" first after returning to China.

In fact, he had anticipated many possibilities in advance, but he never expected that the result would be like that...

Xiang Xinghe wiped his face again and sighed silently.

"I told you last time you called me, and you know..."

"Oh, I know."

Xu Ronghua's tone couldn't help but reveal a bit of sighing: "Don't worry, I will take you there that day."

"But...brother, what exactly are you planning?"

"I don't know either."

Xiang Xinghe looked into the store. Through the glass door, he could vaguely see the wood he had just planed.

"I just...want to meet him first, to see him in person."

By the way, I want to tell him that you still have an uncle and relatives around.

Su Luoyue wanted to hold a grand birthday party for Shen Yi and Shen Sui.

Because this is the first birthday of the two children back home, it means a lot to her.

Director Xu was also thoughtful. He gave her another day off just a few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival. It would be unreasonable if he didn't treat her to a meal.

The birthday party was held in the old house. It happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, and the children all returned to the old house. They stayed in the old house until Shen Yi and Shen Sui’s birthday. After all, Shen Songguo was becoming more and more "relaxed" with them, and it was quite comfortable for them to stay there.

Even the small classes Zhao Desheng gave them were held in the old house.

After talking for a while and assigning homework, I went to play chess with Shen Songguo, feeling very comfortable.

Zhao Xinyu also often came to join them, making the old house more chaotic and messy every day.

Finally, the day of the birthday party arrived. Not only Shen Yi and Shen Sui were forced by Su Luoyue to dress up, but even Shen Shuo and the two younger ones were not spared. Each of them wore a neat little suit and looked like a little prince.

The gifts from my family had already been delivered in advance and were opened before the birthday party.

Seeing Shen Chuzhen write the words that he and Xie Shiming had sent together, Shen Mingzhou bent over and laughed, and asked Shen Chu if he knew what it meant to write like this. Shen Chu ignored him. What does it matter to a child whether he knows or not? Humph.

But it was obvious that Shen Yi and Shen Sui liked the gift they gave very much -

"Let someone send it back home first. I want to put it in my room."

There are many guitars and basses in Shen Yi's room, and there is also a big display rack. Fortunately, his and Shen Sui's rooms are big, otherwise there would not be enough space. They each put one on each side and put the things they like and are interested in.

Shen Sui: "I want to send it back too and put it on the display shelf over there."

Seeing this, Shen Chu winked at Xie Shiming and proudly puffed out his chubby belly: "After that, when my brother and I have birthdays, you have to prepare gifts well, just like us, and prepare them carefully~~~"

The little tail note is played...

Shen Yi rolled his eyes, but still couldn't help but smile: "Okay, I can meet your request."

Shen Sui also smiled and nodded.

But what happened afterwards... who could have thought that changes would come so quickly.
