Chapter 42 Visit
"Are you from Teacher Fang..." Gu Zishu asked politely.
"I am her father. You sit down first. Fang Min should be back in a moment." The old man brought a glass of water and handed it to Gu Zishu.
Gu Zishu quickly put down the things in his hands and took them with both hands.
"Do you have anything to do with Fang Min?" the old man asked curiously.
"At noon, Teacher Fang gave me some money and I sent it back." Gu Zishu held the money in his hand and didn't know for a moment whether to give it to the elderly or wait for the counselor to come back and hand it over to the counselor.
The old man was stunned when he looked at the money in Gu Zishu's hand, and slowly sat on the chair next to him, "You can take what is given to you. This is also what your teacher Fang wants. If you study hard in the future, it will be considered as repaying your teacher." ”
"Grandpa, I can't take this money. I have money myself. Please give it to Teacher Fang for me." Gu Zishu thought about it and gave it to the teacher's father as well.
Unexpectedly, the old man's face was stern, "Just take the money she gave you, how can you give it to me? I know you young people care about face, but now you have to put your studies first. You will graduate in a few years. When the time comes, if you are willing, it will be the same as returning the money to your teacher."
"No..." Seeing the old man's stubborn look, Gu Zishu was worried. How should he prove that he was rich? Should he take out his bankbook and show it to others? It would be even harder to explain then.
Gu Zishu's mind changed and he had an idea, "Grandpa, I am really rich. Look, I picked this up on the mountain. I will be rich when I sell this."
Gu Zishu opened his backpack and took out a piece of amethyst the size of his palm, as well as a red stone the size of an egg that he didn't know if it was worth anything.
"This piece of amethyst should be sold for hundreds or thousands of dollars. I will have living expenses by then. I really can't ask for Teacher Fang's money." I don't know if crystals are popular in this era, but I took it out for myself. The piece is so big and the purity is very good, so it will definitely be sold.
Compared with the gold nuggets in the space, this is not a very precious thing, but if my living expenses and tuition are enough, I can solve the source of my own money in one fell swoop in the future.
Fang Zhengshan was stunned for a moment when he looked at what Gu Zishu took out, "This is natural amethyst, can I see it?"
"Let me show you." Gu Zishu paused and handed the thing over.
"Crystal clear, colorful, relatively uniform in color, cold in hand." After receiving it, the old man inspected it carefully, and then held it up to the light.
Gu Zishu did not expect that the old man was an expert in this field. He knew that it was natural because primitive society did not have such a thing artificially.
I didn’t expect that the old man would know it at a glance.
"Amethyst is quite popular. Your piece is quite big and has a nice color. It should be able to fetch a lot of money. Your tuition and living expenses should be no problem." After reading the article, the old man carefully placed the item on the table. Pushed in front of Gu Zishu.
"I think so too. Doesn't this mean I'm sending Teacher Fang's money back? I know Teacher Fang cares about me, but I have money myself, so I feel bad about taking the teacher's money." Gu Zishu handed over the money.
"Okay, I will talk to your teacher Fang about this." The old man did not refuse now.
"Then, grandpa, I won't disturb you anymore." After the matter was done, Gu Zishu was ready to leave and put the amethyst into his backpack.
"Sit down for a while. Your teacher will probably be back in two minutes." The old man glanced at the clock and politely stayed.
"No, no, grandpa, you're busy, so I won't bother you." Gu Zishu stood up, took the red stone rolled to the side and prepared to leave.
"Hey, little classmate, your things..."
"Grandpa, you're welcome. It's not worth anything. I'll give it to you and Teacher Fang to try." Gu Zishu quickly waved his hand.
Fang Zhengshan was holding the things that Gu Zishu had brought over and was about to stuff them back when he saw the egg-like red stone in Gu Zishu's hand.
The things in his hands were immediately put down.
"Classmate, can you show me what you have in your hand?" Fang Zhengshan said slightly excitedly.
"You mean this?" Gu Zishu opened his palms. The red stone seemed to be nothing special except that it was a little more translucent than other stones. It was not as translucent as amethyst. But looking at the old man's excited look, could it be that it was more precious than crystal? s things.
Gu Zishu handed the things over, "Can you please help me take a look."
Fang Zhengshan took the things and looked at them carefully, "Classmate, please sit down for a while."
After speaking, the old man carefully placed the things and stones on the table, then turned and walked towards the house.
……
It's not like Gu Zishu is standing at the door and he's leaving, and it's not like he's not leaving either.
"Gu Zishu, why are you here? Come in and sit down." As soon as Fang Min went up to the second floor, he saw the door of his house open and someone standing at the door. When he looked closer, he realized it was Gu Zishu.
"Teacher, you are back." Gu Zishu breathed a sigh of relief. This way he no longer had to sit alone in someone else's living room and be embarrassed.
Fang Min put the vegetables he bought in the small kitchen on the balcony and walked out, "Sit down, come to see me. Do you want anything?"
"Teacher, I'm here to return the money to you. I really have money." Gu Zishu explained quickly.
Fang Min looked at the money on the table and was silent for a moment, "Okay, if you have money, forget about it." Sure enough, as her father said, there are skills in helping others, and he has to do this.
"Hey, Minmin, you're back." Fang Zhengshan said hello and headed towards the red stone with a bunch of tools.
"Classmate, you need to deal with the outside of this thing before you can reveal its true appearance on the inside. Do you think I can help you with it?" The old man asked Gu Zishu's opinion before taking action.
"Okay, okay, thank you." Gu Zishu said quickly.
"What are you doing?" Fang Min couldn't understand the progress of the matter.
"It's like this, Teacher Fang. I'm rich. I have an amethyst. The old man said this is quite valuable. It's enough for my tuition and living expenses. I picked up this red stone accidentally. The old man can help me take a look." Gu Zishu explained. For a moment.
As Fang Zhengshan's daughter, Fang Min is knowledgeable after watching her father carve and process things for so many years. As soon as she took out the amethyst in Gu Zi's schoolbag, she knew it was a good thing, but she couldn't understand the red stone either. .
"Sit down for a while. My dad is a jewelry engraver. Let him take a look at it for you. We will eat here in the evening, and I bought vegetables." Fang Min pulled Gu Zishu into the house.
Gu Zishu quickly waved his hand, "Teacher, no need, I can go to the cafeteria."
"What, you don't want my money, you can't even eat a meal, you look down on the teacher." Fang Min said angrily.
"No, no, eat, eat here." How can I look down on it? I just feel a little embarrassed. "Teacher, I brought two bamboo shoots, just in time to try them." Fortunately, I didn't come to the door empty-handed, otherwise it would be so embarrassing.
