Gu Pan

As the New Year approaches, Hetang Town is much more lively than usual. Every day, various vehicles pass by here, and people who go out to work return to their hometowns when the Spring Festival is approaching.

On the eve of New Year's Eve, Shen Pan's father came back.

Since the winter vacation, Chang Gu has almost regarded Shen Pan's house as his own home. Every morning, he ran over with a thick stack of books and didn't go back until the evening. At first, he was a little embarrassed. After the grandparents recognized that they were half-grandchildren, they gradually forgot the awkwardness at the beginning.

But in front of his grandparents, he still had to put on a show. Chang Gu found that his grandparents seemed to like seeing him obedient and shy.

When Shen's father came back, Chang Gu and Shen Pan were arguing about a math problem, and grandma yelled "Panpan" three times downstairs before they heard them.Shen Pan hastily put aside the quarrel, opened the half-hidden door, and let out a "hey".

Grandma waved to him beamingly, with a smile on her face: "Come on, Panpan, your father is back!"

Shen Pan was not surprised. His father had promised to come back during the Chinese New Year a few days ago. He had been waiting for several days, but he finally arrived this year.Shen Pan raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously, and replied "I know".

"My father is back." Shen Pan said to Chang Gu in the room, "Let's quarrel another day, let's go down and see our father first."

Chang Gu glanced at him, Shen Pan's black and white eyes were so bright that they almost glowed, his slender eyebrows were stretched, and the corners of his mouth were raised happily - it was rare for Chang Gu to see him so happy, as if even the corners of his eyes and the tip of his eyebrows Talk about excitement and anticipation.

Chang Gu swallowed back the words that came to his lips, stood up silently and went downstairs with him - originally he wanted to argue with Shen Pan about the word "our father".

But seeing Shen Pan so happy, he couldn't bear to say anything.

Several low-key and luxurious commercial vehicles were parked in front of the gate on the first floor. As soon as Shen's father got out of one of the vehicles, grandma immediately went up to him with sharp eyes: "Dashan, you're shopping again, aren't you? Brat, How many times have I told you, don't buy things for Panpan, don't buy things for Panpan, every time you bring back so many messy things, that bastard is still in the mood to learn..."

Shen's father's name is Silent Mountain, a name with connotations, but his mother gave him a rustic nickname since he was a child.As soon as Silent Mountain heard his mother's yelling for fear that the neighbors in the neighborhood would not hear him, he immediately grinned with a headache: "Mom, please stop yelling a few words, I feel sorry for your throat when I hear it."

Grandma didn't care about his nonsense, she came over and wanted to pull him, but Silent Mountain quickly moved aside, and looked into the room with his head: "Mom, what about Panpan?"

Grandma was really distracted: "Oh, I called him, the kid is doing homework upstairs with their monitor—hey, this is not here!"

Before the words fell, Shen Pan rushed towards his father in a nonchalant manner, and shouted "Shen Dashan" with a smile.

Silent Mountain is about 1.8 meters tall. It may be because he insists on exercising at ordinary times. He is in his forties, and his figure is not very blessed.Shen Pan has smoked very fast in the past few years, but after all he is not as good as his long-legged father. This pounce, which is neither light nor heavy, was caught by his father with one hand.

Silence Mountain took advantage of the opportunity to pick up the mischievous son of a bitch since he was a child, lifted him up like a weight, and scolded with a smile: "You are still so unruly! You son of a bitch, did you call me dad's name?" ? That's for your grandparents!"

He put Shen Pan down and said with satisfaction: "Yes, I have grown a lot taller during this time, almost catching up with your father and me. But why is this small body still so skinny? Holding the light- —Boy, you didn’t eat well again, did you?”

Before Shen Pan had time to argue, the grandma on the side yelled and said again: "No, Panpan eats those two bowls of rice every day, and there are still small bowls of rice. Let me tell him, the one next door A child who is about his age eats three bowls of rice every day, and this kid still can't hear——Dashan, do you think Panpan is a little malnourished, otherwise why would he be so thin..."

Grandma started talking endlessly, and the father and son looked at each other with a headache, and walked into the house tacitly.

Silent Mountain: "Panpan, grandma sued you just now, and you didn't study hard, did you? Let grandma worry about you all day, do you still have a conscience, little bastard?"

"No way, it's not that you don't know that grandma likes to talk nonsense." Shen Pan curled her lips indifferently, "I'm fifth in the final exam this time, can I not study hard? Oh, by the way, Dad, this is Chang Gu. , our class monitor..."

Grandma followed up unwillingly, and interrupted chatteringly: "Dashan, I told you on the phone that Agu takes the first place in the whole class every time he takes the exam, and even finds time to come over every day to help Panpan with homework, Panpan The improvement in grades this time is thanks to A Gu, otherwise I don’t know what this brat will get out of the exam... Tell me, Panpan, is that called studying hard? If he studies hard, why don’t you see him with him? Like Agu..."

Chang Gu, who was standing at the door, smiled politely at Mo Moshan: "Hello, Uncle."

Shen Pan said dissatisfiedly: "Grandma, you always compare me with others, who is your real grandson!"

The old and the young quarreled at the door of the house for a while, and the grandpa who finished washing the dishes also came out, frowning and said, "What does it look like to be noisy outside? Come in!"

Grandpa Shen usually doesn't like to talk, but once he does, he acts like the head of the family.Grandma's voice suddenly dropped an octave, but Shen Pan was not afraid of him, and took the opportunity to yell, "Grandpa, grandma said that I didn't study hard, and you can see that I lost weight recently because of studying."

Although grandpa is not good at words, it is true that he loves Shen Pan. He immediately took a look at grandma: "You too, it's almost done. What's the hurry with Panpan? Come in quickly, the dishes are not ready to be served yet."

Grandma quickly let grandpa lead her into the house, and the personal assistant who got out of the car with Shen Moshan was left alone for a long time, and now she finally found a chance, she walked over and asked Chairman Shen: "Boss, what about those things? Are they moving in?"

Shen Pan recognized this voice, but whenever he called his dad, seven out of ten times it was answered by Assistant Tian, ​​and three times Silent Mountain's cell phone was turned off.Shen Pan called "Uncle Tian" politely, looked at the commercial vehicles curiously, and asked expectantly, "What is that? What gift did you bring us this year?"

Mo Moshan ordered Assistant Tian to have all the things moved into the house, and patiently told Shen Pan with sparkling eyes what the presents were.Shen Pan glanced at Chang Gu, who was standing silently by the side, and interrupted, "What about the gift for A Gu? My grandparents recognized A Gu as their half-grandson, so you can't forget A Gu's gift." .”

Chang Gu quickly said, "No need..."

"Squad leader, don't be polite to our dad." Shen Pan said unceremoniously, "He is still a dad at this moment, and it is harder to find him by calling. When I came back, I almost forgot that I also have a father."

I don't know if Shen Pan said these words on purpose to Silent Mountain. Anyway, those who should listen didn't understand the meaning, and those who shouldn't listen had mixed feelings——Chang Gu made him say something sad, and Shen Pan felt sad. Because of his rude words, his father taught him a lesson on the spot.

Shen Pan ran away angrily, feeling that it was too embarrassing for his father to teach him such a lesson in front of Chang Gu.Chang Gu followed him upstairs.

Shen Pan went upstairs and said: "Leader, let me tell you, I will have to ask my dad for a gift for you later, so don't take it. He will keep it for you, you know? Then It’s not in vain for me to work hard.”

Chang Gu listened to him quietly, and said "um" from time to time. Usually, Shen Pan didn't talk so much, and I don't know if he had noticed it himself. Anyway, Chang Gu found out——Shen Pan obviously liked this father very much, and Shen Mo The feelings of the mountains are very deep.

The light in Shen Pan's eyes has never been extinguished since the moment he learned that Silent Mountain had returned home.

"That's great." Chang Gu thought to himself, envious and happy for Shen Pan.

"Your father is so kind to you." After Shen Pan finished speaking, Chang Gu said softly, "Bringing you so many presents."

"He is in business. He has money but no place to spend it. He lacks everything except money—especially time." Shen Pan said disapprovingly, "He has no time to accompany me, so he can only make up for it—to my father, Comrade Shen Dashan. For me, there seems to be no other way to express my father's love other than giving gifts."

"But you're also very happy, aren't you?" Chang Gu looked at him and couldn't help laughing, "Panpan, you've been laughing, and the corners of your mouth are still upturned—are you so happy?"

"Happy, aren't you happy when you receive the gift?" At this point, Shen Pan suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Gu'er, is your dad coming to see you? When is he coming? Tell me, okay?" Let me go see a parent when the time comes."

The smile on Chang Gu's lips stopped, he unconsciously lowered his head, and said sullenly, "I don't know."

Sensing his momentary feeling of disappointment, Shen Pan couldn't help frowning—he didn't know much about the situation of Chang Gu's family, and every time he talked about Chang Gu, he seemed unwilling to say more, Shen Pan didn't want to To embarrass him, he didn't insist on letting Chang Gu talk about his family.

Shen Pan only knew that Chang Gu's mother had passed away, and that Chang Gu's father was also a businessman. His family was not much worse than Shen Pan's family. As for why Chang Gu's father sent Chang Gu to his aunt's house, Shen Pan also asked , Chang Gu only vaguely said that his father had no time to take care of him.
