After a hearty dinner, the climax of the banquet comes next.

All the members of the Red Star Security Team, except Ya Ge and Hu Hai, who were busy making pastry, went to the yard to get busy.

Even those Anxi veterans who liked to join in the fun also followed behind with their own noodle bowls.

Ding Wan's parents have been taken away by Hua Tuo.

When they were just eating, Hua Tuo saw Cao Cao's hesitant expression and knew that Cao Cao wanted him to help check up on Ding Wan's parents, but he was too embarrassed to speak.

After learning that Ding Wan's parents had eaten and drank enough, Hua Tuo took the initiative to take the two old people back to his room.

Zhang Fugui 1 began to see Ding Wan and his family members gathered around Cao Cao, and knew that this was not the time to talk about business.

I just continued to eat silently at the table until now.

Damn it, that bastard Oda’s only son, that bastard George, let me work as an undercover agent, but he didn’t care about his job!

Thinking of this, Zhang Fugui really felt wronged for his tiring day.

"Xiao Xiu, are you happy?" Cao Cao poured Ding Xiu a cup of herbal tea that strengthens the spleen and stomach, and then moved the drink away from Ding Xiu.

Ding Wan's eyes almost overflowed with happiness when she saw Cao Cao being so careful.

"Happy! Of course I'm happy! Thank you Uncle Cao for the gift." After speaking, Ding Xiu turned around and looked at the pile of things behind him, almost worried that this might be a dream.

"That's good, just be happy. There is nothing more important than a family being happy together." Cao Cao smiled and spoke his true feelings.

After Ding Wan heard the three words "one family", her originally blushing face became even hotter. She was already very embarrassed by the jokes made by Zhang Fugui and others at the dinner table tonight. This time she heard Cao Cao directly

Putting the mother and son into "one family", how could this simple woman not feel intoxicated?

"You, I've never seen anyone who dotes on a child like you. It's just a birthday and you make such a big fuss. Even when my parents celebrated their birthdays, it was never so lively." Ding Wan sounded like she was complaining,

But there was no trace of complaint on the expression on his face.

"Xiao Xiu is so old, I...I haven't spent his birthday with him, so I just made it up to him once and for all." Cao Cao looked at Ding Wan and his son with blurred eyes, and a sadness that had been hidden for thousands of years suddenly surged up in his heart.

heart.

This sentence should have made Ding Wan happy, but instead it shocked Ding Wan.

Because suddenly, the charismatic man in front of me suddenly became so strange. Even when I met him for the first time, there was no such sense of distance between them.

"Brother Geely? What's wrong with you?" Cao Cao's nickname is Geely. Once when he and Ding Wan were chatting about this matter, Ding Wan found it very interesting and liked to call Cao Cao "Brother Geely" in private.

.

Because in Ding Wan's eyes, it was Cao Cao who brought him good fortune and success.

"No...it's just...I drank too much and got distracted." Cao Cao looked at Ding Wan drunkenly, with apologies written all over his face.

This apology was not because of the situation just now, but it seemed that it had been wrapped in Cao Cao's chest and finally couldn't help but reveal it.

"Brother Jili...you drank too much, drink some tea." Ding Wan felt more and more uneasy. She always felt that there was something on Cao Cao's mind, and there was something that he had deliberately concealed from her, but she did not dare to ask.

"Ding... Wan, I'm sorry." Cao Cao suddenly grabbed Ding Wan's hand and said in a deep voice.

"This... Brother Jili, you drank too much. It's okay. I'm here." Ding Wan didn't understand why Cao Cao apologized to her, but she could feel Cao Cao's sadness at this time.

Ding Wan was afraid that if Cao Cao continued to speak, he would say something she didn't dare to hear. This feeling of loss prompted her to stand up and directly put Cao Cao's head into her arms.

Perhaps only in this way can we melt away those feelings that make us feel afraid.

This behavior not only comforted Cao Cao, but also comforted himself.

Little Ding Xiu knew what happened between Cao Cao and his mother. He just thought this was a way of conveying love between Uncle Cao and his mother.

He likes this very much.

So he pretended not to see or hear anything, and concentrated on playing with the toys Cao Cao gave him.

It's strange to say that although the things Uncle Cao sent were good, he seemed to have no use for many of them.

For example, if you can just buy one pair of football shoes, why would you buy another pair of shoes in an adult size? Does Uncle Cao know what size his feet will be in the future?

Equally strange were two bicycles, one big and one small, and even a suit and leather shoes, which he said he regarded as his first formal wear in his life.

The most amazing thing is the watch in the box, which according to Uncle Zhang Fugui is worth hundreds of thousands.

Thinking back to this, Ding Xiu even didn't know where to put the watch. Should he take out all the New Year's money from his mother and buy a safe to put the watch?

Ding Xiu was calm and thinking wildly, while Ding Wan still hugged Cao Cao tightly.

"Ding Wan, I'm sorry, I..." Cao Cao's thoughts returned to his own body. This time, he was really saying it to the people around him.

"Brother Jili... let's talk about something else." Ding Wan was subconsciously afraid, afraid that Cao Cao would tell him what he was thinking just now.

"Talk about something else... What to talk about?" Cao Cao was no longer as clever as usual, and his whole person began to become a bit dull.

"Then... let's talk about it, what do you regret?" Ding Wan felt regretful after saying this.

This is what women are like, between rationality and sensibility, the latter always wins.

"Actually... the thing I regret most is that I didn't spend time with my family." Cao Cao listened to Ding Wan's heartbeat and finally spoke his true words.

Ding Wan didn't know much about Cao Cao's family. Cao Cao only promised her that he was alone now and had no children or partners alive.

With such a promise, Ding Wan couldn't ask any more questions.

"Then... do you miss them?" Ding Wan was not stupid enough to be jealous of a dead person, she just wanted to know where Cao Cao's strange and sad aura just now came from.

"In the past... I didn't dare to tell anyone after thinking about it... I was afraid of being laughed at, but I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you. I really want to... Sometimes I have thought about it countless times, if I was reborn

1st time, would I change my way of life? No longer just focus on my dreams, but look at the people around me. Even if I am laughed at by others for not having ambitions, even if I am ridiculed by others for not achieving anything, this is the front door of my house.

I live an ordinary life... In that case, I won't regret it... But when I wait..., alas, there is no regret medicine in this world, what is regret? Regret is just a needle, hidden in

In your heart, every time you think about the past, I will prick you as hard as possible, making you feel pain while remembering." At this time, Cao Cao was like an old literary and artistic young man, using himself

That deep voice told Ding Wan her feelings.

"Then you... must have been in pain for a long time..." Ding Wan asked slowly.

"Yes...it's been a long, long time." Cao Cao looked up at the sky and said meaningfully.

Ding Xiu was playing with the watch that Cao Cao gave him, and suddenly found that he could not open the box. Once the child's temperament became strong, he would not be able to see anyone's eyes clearly.

He didn't care that his mother and Cao Cao were having a heart-to-heart talk. In a hurry, he handed the box to Cao Cao for help and said, "Uncle Cao... can't open it."

When Cao Cao and Ding Wan were so deeply in love just now, they would of course forget the things around them, but Ding Xiu's crisp words woke them up.

Ding Wan pushed Cao Cao away in shame, then ignored the drink bottle beside him. She found an excuse to say that she was thirsty and wanted to get a drink. After that, she turned around and left.

Cao Cao regretted that he had said something that was not good when he had a beautiful woman in his arms just now.

"Uncle Cao... don't just talk to my mother. It's time to talk to me. How do you open this watch box?" Ding Xiu carefully held up the box and continued to ask Cao Cao for help.

Cao Cao touched Ding Xiu's head, and then pressed the unlock button on the box. He saw a valuable watch lying quietly in the box.

"Xiao Xiu, do you know why Uncle Cao gave you a watch?" Cao Cao took out the watch, put it on Ding Xiu's arm and made a gesture. After finding that it was still a little too big, he put the watch back into the box.

"I know, you want me to cherish my time." The smart Ding Xiu replied.

"Well, I'm half right... I want to tell you that you don't have much time in this life, so you must cherish the days you spend with your family, cherish every minute and every second, you know.

Are you done?" As Cao Cao spoke, he opened the box a few more times in front of Ding Xiu. After confirming that Ding Xiu understood the key, he smiled and stuffed the box back into Ding Xiu's hand.

"Dean Cao... let's go out, the fireworks have started!" After receiving the news from Huang Batian, Brother Ya walked out of the kitchen and said loudly to Cao Cao.

"Let's go... uncle will take you to see the fireworks, specially prepared for you." Cao Cao took Ding Xiu's little hand and said to him.

Huang Batian and the Anxi veterans were already eager to try in the yard. When they saw Cao Cao and others walking out of the cafeteria, they couldn't wait for the order and lit the fireworks in front of them.

In an instant, the entire Red Star Factory was illuminated like daylight.

Thousands of fireworks bloom enthusiastically in the silent night sky.

The stars are as brilliant as if they came out of it.

"Does it look good? It's all prepared for you." Cao Cao pointed to the fireworks in the sky, squatted down and said to Ding Xiu.

"Good-looking...Uncle Cao...if you marry my mother, will I change my surname to Cao?" The excited Ding Xiu jumped up. In desperation, he said all the time regardless of the occasion.

Words hidden in my heart.

"What...what? You...do you want your surname to be Cao?" Even though the fire in the sky was bright, Cao Cao only had eyes for the child in front of him.

"Yes, when the time comes, I will become your child, and my surname will be Cao...I will no longer be called Ding Xiu...I want others to know that I am your child, and my name will be Cao Zixiu?" Ding Xiu said what he said.

The boldest words I have ever said in my life.

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and the thousand-year sadness entered his body again, but this time he did not lose consciousness. He just hugged Ding Xiu tightly into his arms.

No one noticed that Cao Cao was already in tears at this time.
