Chapter 171 Planted! Not expensive!
Qin Heng also saw Gu Yin come in. After speaking with them, he raised his drink and said, "Let's all congratulate Gu Yin!"
Everyone raised their drinks, and Gu Yin smiled and clinked glasses with them.
Looking at Gu Yin across from him, Song Pengfei sighed inwardly. He knew she was capable, but he didn't know she was this capable. While they were working themselves to the bone to get into the county high school, she had already left them far behind and gotten into Jiang High School!
Zhao Xiaomin gave Gu Yin the money she had prepared as a gift: "I don't know what you need. I originally wanted to buy some books, but I thought your mind might be different from mine. What I think is good for you might be the kind of books for kids, not very useful. So I just gave you a red envelope. You can buy whatever you like later!"
Seeing this, the others also took out their red envelopes.
However, Qin Heng and Wang Weiwei's gifts were different.
Qin Heng gave her two watches. He handed the gift box to Gu Yin and said with a smile, "In high school, we're sometimes not allowed to bring cell phones, so a watch is very important! These watches aren't expensive, so please take one for Gu Hua as well!"
If it were just for herself, Gu Yin could have refused, since the watch was quite expensive. But with Gu Hua's gift included, Gu Yin couldn't refuse. She reached out and took it, saying, "The gift is too precious, you've gone to so much trouble! And please thank you on behalf of A-Hua!"
No one else needs to give Gu Hua a gift, since she is Gu Yin's classmate, not Gu Hua's, so giving a gift is enough.
Wang Weiwei took her schoolbag and said with a smile, "Hehe, my gift is a bit strange, please don't mind it, Vice Class Teacher!"
Everyone saw her take something wrapped in old newspaper from her bag, wrapped like a brick.
"What's inside that looks so mysterious?" Qin Xueming asked, craning his neck curiously.
"Hehe, you probably don't recognize me!" Wang Weiwei said, unfolding the newspaper layer by layer to reveal white foam. She then unfolded another layer of foam and took out a glass bottle, placing it on the table.
"What are these rings that look like wood?"
"Looks like medicinal herbs?"
"Dendrobium officinale!" Gu Yin and Qin Heng's voices rang out at the same time. Qin Heng looked at Gu Yin. He knew it was because his family had some, but he didn't expect Gu Yin to recognize it as well. Sure enough, top students are amazing and knowledgeable!
Gu Yin didn't look at him, but instead looked at Wang Weiwei in surprise: "Are you sure this is a gift for me? Or did you steal it from home?" The thought of Wang Weiwei's address made it impossible for her not to believe it.
Deep in the mountains, this thing might very well be wild! It's very expensive! Dendrobium officinale mostly grows on cliffs and deep in the forests. Due to its extreme difficulty in harvesting and its powerful medicinal properties, it is very expensive!
In Lijia Village, someone once saw two spots on a cliff behind the mountain. He had his family lower him down to the middle of the cliff with ropes, and it took them more than an hour to harvest the fruit. When he returned to the village, people asked him if he would sell it, but he refused and kept it.
"Ahem, don't worry, this is cultivated! Not wild! Picking wild Dendrobium officinale is illegal! You know that! Besides, my dad helped me choose this! He wouldn't break the law!" Wang Weiwei didn't expect anyone to actually recognize it, so she immediately explained! Originally, her dad wanted to bring the Ganoderma lucidum as well, but that thing was too easy to recognize, and she was worried that Gu Yin wouldn't accept it!
After saying that, she put the box in Gu Yin's arms and blinked, "Quick, keep this! We have more at home! This stuff can be used to make tea, soup, medicinal cuisine, and infused in alcohol! It has the effects of strengthening muscles and bones, protecting the spleen and stomach, and benefiting the gallbladder and eyes! It's also a top-grade yin-nourishing herb. It's known as the 'immortal herb' and 'the gold among medicines'! Drink it whenever you have time; it's good for your health!"
Gu Yin looked at the thing in her arms, feeling it was burning hot. She saw that everyone's eyes lit up after listening to Wang Weiwei's introduction.
Gu Yin handed the item to her: "I can't accept this! It's too expensive! Really!" That bottle contains at least 200 grams!
Wang Weiwei said helplessly, "It's not expensive at all! Really not expensive! Take it quickly, it wouldn't look good if someone saw us! We're friends!"
After saying that, he ignored Gu Yin's refusal, wrapped the things up, and put them in a drawer inside the room.
Qin Heng looked at Wang Weiwei with bright eyes: "Do you still have any? I'd like to buy some too!"
"Yes, we do have some, but they haven't been harvested yet. We'll wait until the new batch is planted. If you want some, we'll take a look then." They do have some at home, but Gu Yin's are different.
Anyway, she wasn't very smart, but she and Gu Yin were good friends, as her father had said. Since she wasn't smart, she should find smart and kind people to be her friends! Of all the people she knew, Gu Yin was the smartest and a good person! Since they were friends, she had to give her a gift! And the gift had to be good!
Qin Heng nodded: "Then let's exchange contact information later."
Hearing Wang Weiwei's words, everyone knew that this thing was very expensive. The people who were originally interested immediately lost interest and started asking Qin Heng about the No. 1 Middle School.
Wang Weiwei tugged at Gu Yin's arm and whispered, "Remember to take it with you when you go downstairs, otherwise with so many people around, I'm afraid it might be taken by someone else."
Gu Yin nodded, then, as if remembering something, she said, "When we go back, I'll give you my notebook. Take a look at it; it'll be helpful for your final year of junior high."
Wang Weiwei shook her head with a bitter face: "I'm not cut out for studying. My dad wants me to go to a sports school and then go to university through a special channel. He wants me to learn martial arts. I've been learning since elementary school, so I have an advantage. I'm also planning to take this path. Do you think it's okay?"
Gu Yin thought it was a great idea. If Vera Wang weren't so old, becoming an athlete might have been even better for her!
"Sure! Your dad's idea is great! But you still need to get into high school first. High schools have sports students, and there are teachers there to teach them. It's more orthodox, and they understand the rules better. The sports class at the county's top high school seems pretty good. Are you sure you don't want to try to get in? If you study there, you'll have a chance to go to Beijing Sport University. We might even be able to meet again then. Are you sure you don't want to go?"
Wang Weiwei originally planned to apply to a private high school—Minchu Middle School—where the score requirements weren't high and there were sports classes, which would suit a laid-back person like her. But what Gu Yin said was a bit tempting. What should she do?!
Wang Weiwei peeled an egg, took a big bite, and stared blankly at Gu Yin: "Then how about I give it a try?!"
Seeing her like this, Gu Yin couldn't help but laugh: "Give it a try!"
"What's the vice class monitor laughing at?" Song Pengfei, who had been watching them, couldn't help but ask when he saw Gu Yin laughing.
Qin Heng glanced at him upon hearing this, smiled, and didn't seem to care.
