Reborn as a widow in the 70s

Mr. Wu is a person of temperament. If he likes a person, he will also like the friends and relatives around that person. If he hates a person, he will not even say hello to them when they come face to face, and he will even roll his eyes at them.

He falls into the former category with Xiaoshu.

Mr. Wu was afraid that the children would be bored, so he turned on the TV, and then chose the TV channel very unskilledly.

There are only a few TV channels nowadays. It happened that one of them was broadcasting the cartoon "Havoc in Heaven", which instantly attracted the attention of several children.

This was the first time they saw a small person on a small box that could move and make sounds.

"You're all welcome, just treat it like your own home. Just tell grandpa what you want."

Mr. Wu was sitting on the sofa, hugging Xiaoshu and stuffing bread into his hand.

"This is fruit bread, the signature of this bakery. This bakery has a history of 50 years in the capital and is very famous!"

After that, he said to Song Xiuxiu and the others: "You all have a try. If you like it, there is still some in the kitchen."

Xiaoshu has not been very interested in these snacks since he was a child. He often gives his share to Xiao Shitou. Today, in order to appear polite, he still took two symbolic bites.

After a few brief greetings with Song Xiuxiu, Mr. Wu said, "I'll ask the guards to bring some food from the canteen later. We'll eat here at noon. Don't refuse!"

Mr. Wu usually lives here by himself, and he doesn't like outsiders coming in and out of his home, so he refused the nanny arranged by his superiors.

Therefore, the guards brought him meals from the canteen, and the guards came to do the hygiene at home once a day.

"Old sir, if you don't mind, let's not eat in the canteen today. I'll show you my skills. How about you try my craftsmanship!"

Song Xiuxiu had noticed the kitchen just now. Although she had never cooked here, the basic cooking utensils for seasoning were still complete.

Mr. Wu had heard from Xiaoshu that his mother's cooking was delicious. Today, Mr. Wu was naturally happy when he saw that the other party took the initiative to cook, but he was still pretending to be polite.

"You are a guest, how can I have the nerve to let you work!"

Song Xiuxiu couldn't help laughing when she saw Mr. Wu's poor acting skills.

"Old sir, didn't you just say you wouldn't let us be polite? Why are you being polite to me now!"

Hearing this, Mr. Wu said with a smile: "Then I'm really rude, I'll make you tired!"

Then Song Xiuxiu made a list of the required ingredients, and Mr. Wu called the security guard to buy them.

Seeing that Xiaoshu was not interested in the cartoons on TV, he suggested taking him upstairs for a walk.

So Xiaoshu followed Mr. Wu upstairs, while the remaining children stayed in the living room watching TV, while Song Xiuxiu was making lunch in the kitchen.

There are only two bedrooms on the second floor, one is occupied by Mr. Wu himself, and the other is the room where his son lived.

In addition to the bedroom, there is a large study room and a large laboratory on the second floor.

Mr. Wu first brought Xiao Shu to the study room. Looking at the bookshelf as high as the entire wall, Xiao Shu was so shocked that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

"Grandpa Wu, have you read all these books?" Xiaoshu asked in disbelief.

I saw Mr. Wu saying quite proudly: "Of course I have read them all, some more than once!"

"Then can I read these books?" Xiaoshu looked at Mr. Wu with longing eyes.

"You can't watch!" Mr. Wu said with a smile.

Seeing a look of disappointment on Xiaoshu's face, Mr. Wu quickly explained: "You are still too young, these are too profound for you to understand. Only when you are older and have basic knowledge can you look at these. Book!"

"It's just like building a house. You have to lay the foundation first, and then you can build up layer by layer. Only in this way will the house be strong."

"If the foundation is not laid well, no matter how high your house is built, it will collapse sooner or later!"

"Then when can I learn the basic knowledge?" Xiaoshu asked anxiously.

Mr. Wu: "You can do it now! But you have to start by learning the characters first!"

Xiaoshu: "I already know a lot of words, and I can read simple sentences."

Mr. Wu: "It's not enough to just be able to read, you also need to learn to understand. You are still too young, and there is still a long way to go before you can recognize and understand knowledge!"

In order to make his words more convincing, Mr. Wu took out a thick book from the bookshelf and handed it to Xiaoshu.

"This is an introductory book on physics. With your current level of understanding and cognition, you simply cannot understand what it means."

Although Xiaoshu didn't say anything on his face, he was still very unconvinced in his heart, so he opened the book.

It turned out that everything in the book looked like ghost drawings, and I didn't recognize a single word.

"Grandpa Wu, I don't know these words, can you read them to me?"

"Okay, I'll read it to you!"

So the old man and the young man sat on the floor, one read carefully word for word, and the other listened with concentration.

After Wu Lao finished reciting, Xiaoshu did not speak, but kept his head down in deep thought.

Mr. Wu didn't bother him, and kept waiting quietly beside him.

After about five or six minutes, Xiaoshu slowly said: "The author of this book wants to tell us that in the universe outside the earth, there is something called a black hole. This thing is invisible and intangible, but it can Devouring all surrounding objects, including light."

After finishing speaking, Xiaoshu raised his head and asked Mr. Wu next to him: "Grandpa Wu, am I right?"

After listening to Xiaoshu's interpretation, Mr. Wu was directly shocked.

This book is actually not an introductory book, but the "black hole" theory that was just proposed abroad a few years ago.

Moreover, this book is full of obscure professional terms, and there is no Chinese version. It is all in English. Of course, when he read it, it was translated into Chinese literally.Mr. Wu got this after a lot of effort.

Just now, he also wanted to prank the little tree out of mischief, so that he would respect knowledge and science.

But he never expected that this five-year-old child could actually understand the contents of this book and express his own understanding. This really shocked Mr. Wu.

After reacting, Mr. Wu directly hugged Xiaoshu into his arms, and then kissed his chubby little face hard.

"Baby, baby! You are the baby given to me by God!"

At this time, Mr. Wu was as happy as a child, but the little tree in his arms was confused!

After calming down, Mr. Wu stood up and said to Xiaoshu: "Let's go, grandpa will take you to a fun place."

The fun place Mr. Wu mentioned was actually the laboratory in the next room.

This is a laboratory directly connected by two rooms. Although it is not as fully equipped as the research institute, it still meets the basic requirements.

This laboratory was the only request made by Mr. Wu after he was rehabilitated. There was a laboratory at home so that he could practice his flashes of inspiration and ideas at any time.

This laboratory shocked Xiaoshu even more than the study.

He had never seen so many strange things, nor so many messy symbols.

"Xiao Shu, do you know how to play with these things?"

Little Tree shook his head.

Then Mr. Wu simply conducted two small experiments on Xiaoshu.

Seeing that the old man in front of him only had some liquid and bubbles on his hands, and was not afraid of being burned by the fire, Xiaoshu was so shocked that he was speechless.

Of course, what shocked him even more was what came next.

I saw Mr. Wu holding a stick with some coils wrapped around it, and then he approached the electric light above his head. The light began to flicker non-stop, as if there was a magic!

"Is Xiaoshu fun?" Mr. Wu proudly asked Xiaoshu.

Xiaoshu opened his mouth wide, no longer knowing how to express his inner shock!

Seeing that this little guy was fooled by him, Mr. Wu struck while the iron was hot, like a personal dealer, and seduced Xiaoshu.

"Do you want to learn these magical things too!"

Xiaoshu nodded!

Mr. Wu: "Then you live here with me and I teach you every day, okay?"

Xiaoshu nodded again!

……

The lunch was very rich, including steamed fish, braised pork, two stir-fried vegetables and a casserole of chicken soup.

Mr. Wu hasn't eaten home-cooked food in many years.

When he was decentralized, Mr. Wu was satisfied with having enough to eat every day and did not dare to ask for anything else.

After being rehabilitated, Mr. Wu began to eat in the canteen every day.

Fortunately, he never had any requirements for these things, as long as they could satisfy his hunger, so he didn't feel that the food in the cafeteria was unpalatable.

Now that he had eaten such delicious home-cooked food again, Mr. Wu almost lost his dignity as an elder and even almost got into a fight with a small stone over the last piece of braised pork.

After putting down his chopsticks after eating and drinking, Mr. Wu said sadly: "It's such a shame that we can only eat such a good dish once!"

Song Xiuxiu didn't understand what he meant, so she followed him and said, "Mr., if you like, I can come over and help you cook from time to time!"

"Really!" Mr. Wu's weathered eyes instantly lit up when he heard that he could often eat such delicious meals.

But he immediately said politely: "How embarrassed I am to make you run back and forth for me, a bad old man!"

Then the conversation changed: "Why don't I go over and eat by myself, so I don't have to bother you!"

Listening to what he said, Song Xiuxiu was really defeated by Mr. Wu's cuteness.

"Okay, you can just come over whenever you want to eat. You are always welcome at my house!"

"That's great! To express my gratitude, I decided to give that thing to you!"

As he spoke, Mr. Wu waved his hand and pointed to the TV in the living room.

Song Xiuxiu was frightened by his actions. Nowadays, TV sets are rare items and cannot be bought with money. They require TV tickets. Generally, only high-ranking leaders can have them. Ordinary people can't even think of them.

Mr. Wu actually gave such a precious thing away as soon as he said it would be given away!

"Old sir, this TV is too expensive, and my few meals are really not worth it..."

Before Song Xiuxiu could finish speaking, Mr. Wu interrupted him.

“I said it’s worth it!”

"I don't like to look at that thing, and I don't have time to look at it. It's just a decoration here. I just saw a few children who liked it. Why don't you take it away? This can be regarded as making the best use of it!"

"Of course I'm not giving it to you for free. A few meals are really not worth this TV set. I want to exchange it with you for something!"

Hearing this, Song Xiuxiu was very confused. What on earth could she have that was worth a TV set?

So she asked directly: "Then what does Mr. Wu want to change?"
