Chapter Three Gifts
Shan Sihua was originally an introvert, but the tall and thin man's blade-like gaze made him lower his head and not dare to look directly at her.
"Then I'll leave these cigarettes and wine to Master Shan for his own use. I have to leave first and come back another day." The tall and thin man said and stood up.
The conversation finally ended. Shan Sihua couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, wishing this ferocious-looking guy would leave quickly.
"Your baby is too restrained, like a woman. Haha..." The tall and thin man laughed, patted Shan Sihua's big round face, turned around and walked out of the hut.
After sending the tall and thin man away, Shan Sihua was too lazy to go out and hang out, so he stayed in the house alone and continued to sort out his winter vacation homework, enjoying himself.
When it was almost time for lunch, Shan Youcheng and his neighbors greeted each other warmly outside the door.
Dad is back. Shan Sihua stood up and opened the door with a whoosh, and saw his father walking over with a smile on his face, wearing a green military coat, holding a bag of colorful candies in his hand.
"Why did dad come back so early today?" Shan Sihua was quite surprised, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Today is the Lantern Festival, so I won't go to work in the afternoon." Shan Youcheng put down the candy casually, his eyes fell on the stained cupboard in the corner of the room, he picked up the glass bottle of "Jianzhuang" Qujiu, and asked in surprise
: "Hey, where did this come from?"
"It was brought by a young boy named Hecheng. He said he used to work in the same company as you and came to wish you a happy new year." Shan Sihua helped his father take off his green military coat and hung it next to him, then answered immediately.
"What do you look like? How tall are you?" Shan Youcheng asked while trying hard to search for names related to the city.
"A little thin, taller than me, with a crew cut. He speaks very politely, but his eyes are a bit scary." Shan Sihua blurted out without thinking, picked up the "Dachongjiu" cigarette, and said: "This kid
I’m so willing to give it up!”
"Is your name Gu Cheng?" Shan Youcheng asked worriedly as he dug out a name from the dusty past.
"Yes, he said his name is Gu Cheng." Shan Sihua replied crisply, nodding affirmatively.
"Then when did he leave?" Shan Youcheng stood up in a hurry and said anxiously: "We can't accept the gift from this kid, I want to return it to him."
"We've been gone for more than an hour." Shan Sihua glanced at Naozhong and estimated. Seeing that his father had such a strong reaction when he heard the name "Gu Cheng", he couldn't help but ask, "Why can't you accept his gift?"
"You don't know, this kid named Gu Cheng has been in a prison cell. It was because of me that I sent him to prison." Shan Youcheng spat out these words angrily and told his son about a past event four years ago.
It was a sultry afternoon. After drinking some wine, Shan Youcheng hurried back to the shipyard and prepared to take a good nap. As soon as he entered the gate, he found a sneaky figure flashing in the workshop inside.
"Who's in there? What are you doing?" Shan Youcheng yelled, causing the figure to tremble in fright. A bar-like object fell down, and it made a sound like metal hitting the ground.
Shan Youcheng rushed over vigilantly, only to see a childlike young man looking at him with horror on his face. Under his feet was a copper bearing specially used for manufacturing ships. Everything is self-explanatory.
"You don't learn well at a young age. Where are you from? What's your name?" Shan Youcheng asked with interest, as if a drunk cat had caught a rat.
Seeing that the incident had been exposed, the young man knelt down and whispered: "Uncle Shan, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again next time."
Only then did Shan Youcheng see clearly that he was an apprentice who had just been in the factory for a few days. He immediately picked him up and shouted impatiently: "Don't bother me, let me ask you what your name is? Why do you want it?"
Stealing things from the factory?”
"My name is Gu Cheng, and I come to work in place of my father. Uncle Shan, if you let me go, I really won't dare to do it next time." As he spoke, the young man burst into tears with regret on his face.
"Huh, there's still a next time?" Shan Youcheng glared at each other and said decisively: "Looking at your baby, he doesn't look like a good person! I'll let you go and steal it next time, right?"
Seeing that Shan Youcheng had no intention of forgiving, the young man was so frightened that his face turned pale and he was sweating profusely and defended: "Uncle Shan, please let me go. This is indeed the first time for me. I really won't dare to do it again in the future."
"Hmph, you guys keep it and tell it to the people from the Public Security Bureau." Shan Youcheng picked up the copper bearing on the ground with a serious look, and while he was still drunk, he dragged Gu Cheng to the police station and handed over the bearing together with him.
Public security personnel.
As a result, Gu Cheng was sentenced to four years in prison for the crime of theft.
After the incident happened, colleagues had different opinions. Some people praised Shan Youcheng for doing the right thing, saying that this would make Gu Cheng fully realize that he should never touch anything that violates the law.
Some people also objected, saying that such an unsparing approach would most likely make Gu Cheng full of hatred towards society.
Shan Yousheng has no comment on these mixed reviews and doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
But today, when he heard his son say that the cigarettes and wine were gifts from Gu Cheng, Shan Youcheng felt inexplicably flustered and felt a potential crisis at the same time.
Back then, he was in a violent mood due to a divorce, and he was sent to jail for a drunken moment. Logically speaking, he should hate himself to the core, so why did he give him expensive gifts?
The gift given by this child is clearly a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken - he has no good intentions.
"Hua Guan'er, what else did he say?" Shan Youcheng asked anxiously, "Did he mention that I sent him to the police station?"
"I didn't say anything else, and I didn't mention going to jail. I just talked about common things." After listening to his father's story, Shan Sihua couldn't help but feel a little scared and answered truthfully.
At the same time, I was beating a drum in my heart. I didn’t expect that Gu Cheng was sent to prison by his father. No wonder there was a hint of violence in his body and an evil look in his eyes.
At this time, Shan Sihua saw his father picking up the valuable "Dachongjiu" cigarette again and examining it. This cigarette alone was almost equal to 10 days' salary of his father, so Gu Cheng was indeed generous.
"Hua Guan'er, if this kid named Gu Cheng comes again, you have to be careful. It's best not to interact with him. I'm afraid he will try to trick you." Shan Youcheng warned with a sullen face, not without worry.
"I just study, why would I interact with him?" Shan Sihua replied simply, thinking that if he comes again in the future, he should be more careful, maybe he really has bad intentions.
Seeing his son's sensible look, Shan Youcheng felt relieved, and then changed the topic: "Junior high school will graduate in half a semester. It's up to you whether you can get into a key high school."
"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to pass the key high schools!" Shan Sihua responded confidently: "Not only will I be admitted to key high schools, I will also be admitted to prestigious universities."
