When Ding Ning heard the words "birthday wish card", he sighed softly, "Okay, then let's invite Uncle Fang to dinner at home."

"Great!"

Xiao Nian happily jumped three feet high, shaking Gu Shengtang's leg, "Uncle Fang, my mother agrees, please come to our house for dinner."

Seeing Xiao Nian so happy, Gu Shengtang couldn't bear to refuse, nodded, "Okay then, I'll interrupt."

Ding Ning and Xiao Nian's home is in Changping District, an old urban area ten kilometers away from the Roche Group. It takes two buses to get there.

This place is listed as an urban renewal area by the government, and the demolition project has already started. Excavators and construction workers can be seen everywhere, and the air is full of dust.

After getting out of the car, Gu Shengtang couldn't help frowning, and took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose. He didn't expect that the living environment of Ding Ning and Xiao Nian was so bad.

Following Ding Ning into the rented community, Gu Shengtang looked around.

There are only a few dilapidated towers, and the dilapidated atmosphere of disrepair is everywhere in the community.

It seems that the people who come and go are dressed, and most of the people living here are migrant workers or people with low income.

He couldn't help frowning, "Why do you live so far away from the company? It seems that the environment is not very good, why do you want to live here? Can't you change to a better place?"

Ding Ning, who was leading the way, paused, straightened his slender back, and didn't look back, "Because the rent is cheap!"

Gu Shengtang couldn't help feeling annoyed, he really didn't need to ask this question.

She is a woman with a child, and she lives in such a place, if not because it is cheap, what else.

He didn't say much along the way, and followed Ding Ning and Xiao Nian silently, climbed six floors, and finally arrived at their home.

Ding Ning took out the key from his bag and opened the door, "Assistant Fang, please come in."

Gu Shengtang stepped into the room, a small two-bedroom room, furnished very simply, except for the necessary daily necessities, and some Xiaonian's toys, there was nothing else.

Although the wall skin of this room has peeled off and the floor is warped, it is tidy and clean. There are several pots of lush green plants planted by the wall, which looks a little more warm.

Gu Shengtang's eyes fell on the photo wall in the living room.

In the photo frame are photos of Xiao Nian when she was just born, a little pink dumpling tightly held by Ding Ning, and photos of participating in kindergarten activities, each of which is an intimate moment of their mother and child being together.

Seeing Gu Shengtang looking at the photos on the wall, Ding Ning suddenly became nervous.

She was at a loss, "Uh, Assistant Fang, please sit down first, I'll make you a cup of tea."

Gu Shengtang nodded, walked to the sofa and sat down.

Ding Ning didn't know whether it was because of nervousness or excitement. When making tea, his hands kept shaking slightly, and he failed to open the tea box several times in a row.

She glanced at Gu Shengtang at the side from the corner of her eye, feeling even more uneasy.

After finally making tea, he brought the cup to the coffee table in front of him: "Assistant Fang, please drink tea."

Xiao Nian couldn't wait to go forward and hold Gu Shengtang's hand.

"Uncle Fang, I'll take you to my room. I have many treasures, and I never show them to others. I only show them to you."

Gu Shengtang smiled, "Really? Then I'm so honored!" After finishing speaking, Xiao Nian led him into his room.

Ding Ning looked at their backs with an indescribable feeling in his heart.

She doesn't want Gu Shengtang to get close to Xiao Nian, but she thinks it's not bad.

Maybe God's pitiful Xiao Nian had never met his biological father since he was a child, so he brought their father and son together in this way.

Thinking of this, she walked quickly to the kitchen, today is such a precious day, the dinner must be richer.

Gu Shengtang was taken to his bedroom by Xiao Nian, a small room full of childishness.

There are some cartoon dolls and picture books in the cabinet next to the bed, and a height ruler and paintings by Xiao Nian are pasted on the wall next to the door.

"I can't see that you are quite good at drawing."

Gu Shengtang looked at his paintings carefully, the little guy seemed to be very talented in this aspect.

"Well, my mom says I look like dad."

Gu Shengtang turned around, "Your father is also very good at painting? What does he do? Is he a painter?"

"I don't know." Xiao Nian shook her head, with a look of disappointment on her face, "I've never met my father."

Xiao Nian leaned over and whispered next to Gu Shengtang's ear: "Uncle Fang, let me tell you a secret. My mother said that my father left us because he was going to outer space to perform a very important mission. This is a secret and cannot be told to others. .”

Gu Shengtang was dumbfounded, seeing Xiao Nian's serious look, he raised the corners of his lips: "Your father is really amazing."

"Of course!" Xiao Nian looked proud, "My mother also said that my father is a very good person, he can do everything, and he is great at everything!"

Gu Shengtang didn't speak, but suddenly felt a little depressed.

It seems that Ding Ning loves Xiao Nian's father so much that he only said good things about him in front of his son after being separated for so many years.

Xiao Nian took out a tin box from under the bed, "Uncle Fang, let me show you my baby!"

The treasures in his mouth are actually hand-drawn cards, each of which is painted with a colorful cartoon pattern, marked with the year, and neatly written with the words "wish card".

The painted patterns lack skill and are slightly rusty, but it can be seen that each one is drawn with great care.

"When I celebrate my birthday every year, my mother will give me a wish card. As long as I want to achieve my wish, my mother will fulfill it if I use the wish card?"

"Really?" Gu Shengtang took the wish card curiously, five hand-drawn wish cards in total.

"My mother said that my father will come back when I have accumulated 12 wish cards, so I have always been reluctant to use the wish cards."

"But you have already used one today." Gu Shengtang stretched out his hand and gently scratched the tip of Xiao Nian's nose

"What should I do? Wait another year, will you regret using the wish card so casually?"

Xiao Nian shook her head, "No, I like Uncle Fang very much, if I use it for Uncle Fang, I won't regret it."

Gu Shengtang suddenly thought of something, "It's better than this, uncle will give you a wish card today."

"Really?" Xiao Nian's eyes lit up, "Can uncle's wish card also help Xiao Nian realize his wish?"

Gu Shengtang smiled, "Don't worry, it will only be more powerful than your mother's wish card."

As he said that, he took out a pen from the colored pencil box on the reading table and began to draw by hand.

After a few simple sketches, a superman soaring into the sky appeared on the card paper.

Gu Shengtang: "My card is called the Superman card. When you need it, come to me with this card. No matter what your wish is, I will definitely help you realize it."

Sure enough, Xiao Nian was so happy that he picked up the Superman card that Gu Shengtang gave him and spun around in circles.

"It's great! Uncle Fang gave me an Invincible Superman card."

The corners of Gu Shengtang's lips were raised high, revealing a smile that he hadn't even noticed.

He looked around lightly, and a half-assembled battleship model on the bedside desk attracted him.

"You also like fighting battleships?"

"Yeah!" Xiao Nian nodded his head, "I'm very good at fighting battleships. Everyone says I'm an expert at fighting battleships, but this battleship is really complicated. I haven't been able to spell it out for a long time."

Gu Shengtang was a little unbelievable, he didn't expect that this child really hit it off with him, and even had the same hobbies.

He stepped forward to pick up the half-assembled battleship, and looked at Xiao Nian again, "Do you want to finish it today?"

After about an hour, Ding Ning finished dinner and knocked on Xiao Nian's door.

"Can I come in?"

"Yes! Mom!" Xiao Nian's clear and clear child's voice came from the door.

Opening the door, Ding Ning saw that Gu Shengtang was fighting with Xiao Nian.

Their heads were next to each other, Gu Shengtang directed at the side, Xiao Nian operated, and the cooperation was fast and good.

Every time a place was glued, Xiao Nian would raise her head, her bright eyes were like crescent moons, and she smiled happily.

Ding Ning couldn't help but stare blankly.

Gu Shengtang raised his head inadvertently, seeing Ding Ning staring at himself and Xiao Nian in a daze, the faint glint in his eyes made him startled.

Is she crying?

Ding Ning noticed Gu Shengtang's suspicious gaze, and then realized that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly turned around: "The meal is ready, let's come out to eat."

The battleship was almost finished, Gu Shengtang took Xiao Nian to wash his hands.

As soon as he walked into the living room, a strong smell of rice wafted over.

On the dining table, there are four dishes and one soup.

It is not easy to make so many meals in such a short time, not to mention the taste and taste.

The meat dishes are garlic pork ribs and sweet and sour pork with pineapple, while the vegetarian dishes are a dish of tofu in tomato sauce and a dish of boiled okra, served with a jade loofah soup.

Before he even got to the table, the fragrance was already rushing into people's noses, making people salivate.

Looking at the food in front of him, Gu Shengtang couldn't help sighing. He used to think that eating was just a task to maintain normal body functions, and it didn't matter what he ate.

But since he ate the meal made by Ding Ning, he felt for the first time that eating could be such a wonderful thing, which made people look forward to it.
