Chapter 546
Qian Jiahui, a member of the Flying Eagle Club who came with me, walked into the ward with a few schoolmates and said jokingly:
"I thought you'd be so pathetic, but even a broken leg won't make you wilted."
Wu Jin grinned and responded optimistically, "Hehe! As long as I'm still breathing, there's nothing I can't overcome. What's there to be depressed about?
Seriously, please help me eat some apples. Several teachers came to see me, and each of them brought a big bag of apples. I can’t finish them all. I simply can’t finish them all.”
Everyone followed her direction and looked at the ground beside the bed. Wow, there were three big bags of apples piled there. The scene was quite spectacular.
The variety of fruits in Beijing is indeed not as good as that in Nanning. Not only are there fewer varieties, but they are also not cheap. It is better in summer, but the price is even higher in winter.
The main producing area of apples is in the north, so this is a type of fruit that people buy more often.
She had a classmate from the north who had no desire to eat apples. She said that when she was a child, apples were the only fruit in her home.
Sometimes during the Chinese New Year, my parents’ work units would distribute welfare benefits, and each of them would bring back a box, and the whole family would eat that every day.
If apples are left for a long time, they will become wrinkled and rot. At that time, pick out the rotten apples, cut off the rotten part and eat the good part.
But after all, the taste of rotten apples has changed. She said that whenever she thinks of eating apples as a child, the rotten taste will rise in her mouth.
In Su Miao's previous life, when he was about nine years old, the currency between the north and the south was much better than it is now, and some private business owners brought fruits from the south to the north to sell.
The journey is long, and in addition to the shipping cost, the loss must also be taken into account, so the price is several times higher.
I remember one time, Su Miao bought a pound of lychees at a price eight times higher than in Yongcheng. When he asked the owner where they were produced, he replied, "Well, Yongcheng!"
No wonder Yang Guifei was criticized for being extravagant for eating lychees. It really was a waste of manpower and killed many soldiers.
However, even in Nanning, where there is a rich variety of fruits, people like to bring apples when they go to the hospital to visit patients.
Giving apples as gifts is a way to wish for peace and good luck. Apples are durable and can be kept for a while, so even if the patient cannot eat them right away, they can be kept for a while.
Qian Jiahui and Wu Jin were in the same major and were very close friends. However, Qian Jiahui had an elective class and did not attend the event on the day.
After learning that Wu Jin was injured, Qian Jiahui immediately followed the counselor to visit her.
At that time, Wu Jin had just straightened her legs and was falling into a deep sleep before the anesthetic effect wore off.
Seeing that she was fine, Qian Jiahui went back to school without any worries. Wu Jin didn't know that Qian Jiahui had come to see her.
"Come on, don't be polite to her. You took the trouble to come see her, so she deserves to treat you to some fruit."
As Qian Jiahui spoke, she picked out a few big red apples from the bag and stuffed them into everyone's hands one by one.
The three girls looked at each other, thinking that it was quite interesting that they came to visit the patient but ended up eating the patient's fruit. Then they politely thanked him:
"Thank you, Senior."
Qian Jiahui said to Wu Jin, "Do you still remember them? They all participated in the event that day."
"I remember their faces, they were all beautiful sisters. However, except for Xiaojie, I can't match the other two's names. I'm so sorry." Wu Jin said apologetically.
"Xiao Jie is a member now, you must recognize her. She will stay with me tonight."
Wu Jin smiled at Guo Xiaojie and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You have to go to class during the day and take care of me at night. The doctor said I will be discharged the day after tomorrow, so I won't have to bother you then."
"It's okay, senior. We are in the same club and should help each other." Guo Xiaojie responded sweetly.
Qian Jiahui continued, "These are Xiaojie's two roommates. This is He Rong, and this is Su Miao!"
She deliberately emphasized the two words "Su Miao", and as soon as she finished speaking, Wu Jin's eyes lit up.
"Are you Su Miao? Thank you so much! If you hadn't discovered where I fell, I would have died there!
Good comrade! Come quickly! Come and shake hands with me! "
Seeing Wu Jin struggling to reach out to her, Su Miao quickly stepped forward and held her hand. Qian Jiahui pushed Wu Jin back onto the pillow on her back and said, "Hey, please stop getting excited!"
Su Miao also quickly said: "Senior sister, there is no need to thank me. Since we are going hiking together, we are companions.
We should have helped you, but we were inexperienced and afraid of making things worse, so we returned to school. Fortunately, you weren't seriously injured."
Wu Jin held Su Miao's hand tightly, looked her up and down, and muttered to herself:
"I think I've seen this sister before."
Qian Jiahui pulled her hand away and scolded her with a smile:
"Of course I've seen you before, as we were at the same event. You better explain how you fell off the mountain."
Guo Xiaojie also asked curiously: "Yes, Senior Sister Wu Jin, when did you fall?"
Mentioning what happened that day, Wu Jin looked embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, she stammered:
"It's all because of the plant Professor Lin mentioned in class!
At that time, everyone gathered to continue climbing the mountain. I saw a grass on the path near the outside, which looked exactly like the one the professor described.
I didn't want to delay everyone's progress, so I ran over to pull it out so I could catch up with the group. But my foot slipped and I fell!"
Several people looked at each other in surprise. They really didn't expect that the reason why Wu Jin slipped was actually a piece of grass.
Qian Jiahui was so angry that she laughed: "Look, now the loss outweighs the gain. Let's see if you dare to be so reckless in the future."
"Oh, I was just careless. I won't do it again. You don't know, when I was lying in the grass and half-conscious, I felt like my grandma was coming to pick me up.
I thought I would follow in that classmate’s footsteps…” Wu Jin said, her voice gradually becoming lower.
When Qian Jiahui heard this, she pushed her and shook her head, signaling her not to talk about this topic anymore.
Su Miao saw that they seemed to be avoiding the topic, but still couldn't help asking:
"Are you talking about the other senior who died last semester?"
Wu Jin asked in surprise, "You knew about this?"
Guo Xiaojie and He Rong both shook their heads in confusion, only Su Miao said:
"I also heard by chance that a senior student met with misfortune during the spring outing and mountain climbing last semester."
Wu Jin sighed heavily, full of regret:
"Yes, that classmate's name is very similar to mine. She is a talented girl with excellent character and academic performance. She was also raised in an educated family. What a pity."
"Senior, doesn't the school allow us to discuss this matter?" He Rong asked curiously when she saw that they were very secretive.
Wu Jin patiently explained, "No, our school has never had such a rule. We can even discuss current affairs, let alone this.
However, everyone felt that it was a pity that this accident happened, and it was very painful to think about it, so they didn't bring it up very often.
Furthermore, if this matter is exaggerated and reaches the ears of the classmate's family, it will cause them a second injury."
"So that's how it is." Everyone nodded in understanding.
