Chapter 256 Exchanging Gifts
Su Nuannuan couldn't stand A Qiu's gaze, so she made an excuse and left.

Back home, Su Nuannuan gave the other plum blossom-shaped earthenware jars to the Chu family across the street and to her godparents' family.

Shen Yuan was delighted to see Su Nuannuan at his home and invited her to stay for dinner.

Before leaving, Shen Yuan and Xu Heyi both gave Su Nuannuan red envelopes.

Grandpa Shen knew that Su Nuannuan liked medicinal herb seeds, so he gave her many seeds of precious medicinal herbs. Su Nuannuan liked them very much.

Grandma Shen then gave Su Nuannuan a pair of phoenix hairpins made of gold and rubies, which looked exquisite and gorgeous. Su Nuannuan was completely stunned by Grandma Shen's generosity.

Back home, Su Nuannuan was delighted to see the gifts her godparents and their family had given her.

It wasn't because the gifts were expensive, but because Su Nuannuan could feel their sincerity towards her.

It was another happy day, and Su Nuannuan started school the next day.

On the first day of school, Su Nuannuan was called into the office by her counselor, Ouyang Suiping.

Su Nuannuan immediately thought of the promise she made to Teacher Ouyang last semester.

Although she was already quite confident, Su Nuannuan was still a little nervous before the results were announced.

Since it was the beginning of the semester, there was only one teacher in the office, Ouyang Suiping.

He had Su Nuannuan sit opposite him, then handed her a report card and said...

"Su Nuannuan, you are excellent. Your final grades last semester were the highest in the Clinical Medicine program."

Su Nuannuan looked at her name on the report card and smiled happily.

She put down her report card, feeling completely confident about her minor in traditional Chinese medicine preparation, and looked at Ouyang Suiping with a smile.

"Teacher, have I passed your test?"

Ouyang Suiping smiled, nodded, and said.

"Yes, Su Nuannuan, you are very good. Your grades in Traditional Chinese Medicine processing are also very good, ranking third in your major."

Before seeing the report card, Ouyang Suiping hadn't expected Su Nuannuan to be so amazing.

Minoring in traditional Chinese medicine processing not only didn't hinder her studies in clinical medicine, but it also ignited her ambition. He had witnessed Su Nuannuan's hard work last semester.

Therefore, Ouyang Suiping did not continue to test Su Nuannuan and agreed to let her minor in traditional Chinese medicine production.

He handed a minor application form to Su Nuannuan and said.

"Since you are minoring in Chinese medicine processing, I hope you will take this major seriously and not give up halfway."

Su Nuannuan nodded and said.

"Don't worry, Teacher Ouyang, I will definitely study hard."

Since it was the first day of school, there were no classes.

After saying goodbye to Ouyang Suiping, Su Nuannuan went back to her dormitory. She didn't cancel the dormitory assignment given to her by the school, partly because she was reluctant to leave her roommates, and partly because she wanted to rest there at noon.

Upon entering the dormitory, Su Nuannuan was greeted by a warm hug from Zhou Menglu.

Seeing that Zhou Menglu's lips were about to touch her face, Su Nuannuan pushed her away with some disgust.

"Don't bring bad habits from abroad into the country."

Zhou Menglu pursed her lips, took out her small mirror, and began to fix her hair, saying...

"What bad habit? Nuannuan, you don't understand, this is called a cheek kiss."

Su Nuannuan pushed Zhou Menglu, who was blocking her way, aside and complained without any politeness.

"Miss, I can't handle this. You should stick with someone else."

Zhou Menglu rolled her eyes at Su Nuannuan.

Hong Xiu and Sun Xiuhua both saw the two of them interacting and secretly smiled.

After Su Nuannuan arrived, she gave the three of them a seashell necklace that she had made on the island. It was the first time the three of them had ever seen seashells, and their eyes were filled with curiosity and delight.

"These are seashells I collected on the beach. I made them into a necklace and am giving it to you."

Zhou Menglu received a vibrant orange-red seashell necklace, looking both flamboyant and beautiful. Hong Xiu received an ivory-white seashell necklace with a piece of lustrous white jade at the bottom, which looked very pretty. Sun Xiuhua received a delicate light blue seashell necklace, both charming and understated.

The seashell necklace that Su Nuannuan gave them perfectly matched the three of them.

Zhou Menglu and the other two were very pleased. They were also very curious about the island that Su Nuannuan had mentioned, and kept pestering her for a lot of information about it.

Su Nuannuan picked out the fun parts to talk about and also shared some of her life on the island with the three of them.

Hong Xiu was somewhat envious of Su Nuannuan's colorful winter vacation.

"Nuan Nuan, I'm so envious of you, you get to go to an island."

Sun Xiuhua nodded. After a semester together, Sun Xiuhua's relationship with the others had become very good, and her gloomy aura had dissipated. Although she was still quite talkative, she often participated in their discussions.

Although Zhou Menglu was envious, her holiday life was much more colorful than Su Nuannuan's.

After Su Nuannuan finished speaking, Zhou Menglu couldn't wait to start talking about her holiday life.

Su Nuannuan and the others listened attentively, occasionally offering applause and positive responses. This further heightened Zhou Menglu's interest.

Su Nuannuan and the other two exchanged glances, smiled, and none of them interrupted Zhou Menglu's story.

After Zhou Menglu finished speaking, she also shared the gifts she brought from abroad with the people in her dormitory.

Zhou Menglu gave the three of them pocket watches.

"I noticed none of you had watches to tell the time, so I bought a pocket watch for each of you. No need to thank me."

Su Nuannuan actually owns a watch, but she doesn't have the habit of wearing it on her wrist. Firstly, it's too flashy; secondly, Su Nuannuan finds it troublesome to take it off every day before showering.

As for Hong Xiu and Sun Xiuhua, they really didn't have a watch.

Hong Xiu and Sun Xiuhua saw that Zhou Menglu was giving them a watch, and felt that the gift was too expensive, so they did not accept it.

Seeing the two hesitate, Su Nuannuan took one of the watches and said with a smile.

"Please accept it. We cannot let down the young lady's kindness."

Zhou Menglu nodded proudly, quite satisfied with Su Nuannuan's actions. Seeing that Hong Xiu and Sun Xiuhua were still hesitating, she spoke up.

"Don't worry. This watch isn't worth much abroad. I only spent one pound on three pocket watches."

One pound sterling in the 60s was worth about 15 yuan. These three watches didn't really cost much.

Therefore, Hong Xiu and Sun Xiuhua accepted it with peace of mind.

Then, Sun Xiuhua also took out her own gift, which was three scarves she had knitted herself.

Zhou Menglu wore a bright red scarf, styled after a popular international design, which looked very fashionable. After taking it, Zhou Menglu tried it on and was very satisfied.

Hong Xiu wore a light yellow one, which perfectly matched her quiet and reserved personality. Su Nuannuan wore a light purple one, which looked dreamy and beautiful, and Su Nuannuan liked it at first sight.

Surprisingly, Hong Xiu's gift was a double-sided embroidered handkerchief.

Upon seeing the gift, Su Nuannuan rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

"Ah Xiu, did you embroider this?"

Hong Xiu nodded shyly and said.

“I hope you like it.”

Su Nuannuan touched the double-sided embroidered handkerchief in her hand with amusement and said.

"I love it, I really love it."
