Chapter 179: Ginseng is not as important as you
Not only did the children's blood boil after hearing his words, but even Song Shiwei felt warm in his heart.
Sun Meimei and her family are also preparing to take their children back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year.
Most of the people in the family compound had left. Of course, there were also many people whose husbands had to be on duty and could not go home, so they simply agreed to get together on New Year's Eve to make dumplings.
Before leaving, Sun Meimei looked at Song Shiwei's big belly and was very worried.
"It's a long journey, you must take good care of yourself!"
Song Shi smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, sister-in-law! You guys should get going quickly, or you may miss the bus later!"
Seeing that Lao Zheng and the others had packed up and were waiting for her, Sun Meimei didn't say anything more. She just told Zhou Tingyue to take good care of her and the children before getting in the car.
Wang Chunxiang and Jian Qiu both stayed in the family compound to celebrate the New Year this time. They waved their hands to remind her to be careful on the road, and after watching her walk away, they did not forget to hand over some snacks they had prepared in advance to Song Shiwei.
“Eat to kill time on the road!”
"These are the dried plums I got from the sun and soaked them in sugar for a long time! They taste sour and sweet and are quite good. If you have motion sickness, eat a few! They should help!"
Song Shiwei took the things and put them on the top of the bag.
"Thank you, my two sisters-in-law!"
Wang Chunxiang waved her hands quickly: "Well, we are sisters, why should we be so polite?"
Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin had also packed their things and were now putting them into the car. This time, Xiao Wang was driving and was responsible for taking them to the dock.
At this time Lian Fengxia also came over.
"Weiwei, have you packed your things?"
Song Shiwei glanced at the car and said, "Alright, alright! Let's get going right away!"
Wang Chuanling and Lian Fengxia's homes were in a rural suburb not too far from Beijing, so they could just go there on the way.
During this time, the injury on Fengxia's forehead had almost healed. Wang Chuanling and Zhou Tingyue thought that if they traveled together, they could take care of each other.
At first, when Song Shiwei said she wanted to take the train back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year, Wang Chunxiang and the others were still worried and asked her to stop making the effort and just celebrate the New Year with them at her family compound.
But at that time, she had agreed with Zhao Huili and Shen Xiu'e that she would go back during the Chinese New Year. Besides, she also wanted to go back and visit as it had been a long time since she last went back. The children had never been to Beijing before, so it was a good opportunity for them to spend the New Year together.
Fortunately, Lian Fengxia said that they could go along the way, so Wang Chunxiang and the others felt relieved. After all, it is much better to have more people, so that there can be someone to take care of anything.
As they were talking, Xiao Cui, Gou Sheng and Xiao Jun also came over.
"Sister Weiwei, are you guys leaving?"
Although she knew she was going home for the New Year, she still couldn't help feeling sad when she thought about her leaving.
Song Shiwei looked at Xiao Cui's red eyes and touched her head.
"I'm just going back to celebrate the New Year, and I'll be back after the New Year! I'll only be gone for about ten days. If I stay for longer, the troops won't agree. Your brother Zhou's annual leave is only about ten days!"
Gousheng handed the things in his hand to Zhou Cheng who was standing beside him.
"Sister Weiwei, we don't have anything good, so we prepared some mushrooms from the mountain, two pheasants, and a plant of this..."
As he spoke, he took out a small cloth bag from his arms, opened it and took a look. Song Shiwei was almost stunned.
It turned out to be a complete ginseng with all the whiskers and tail. The main body looked bigger than a dog's palm, not to mention the other whiskers!
If really stretched out, the longest ginseng tendril would be at least one meter long.
"Boy, this is good stuff!"
Even Wang Chunxiang who was standing by couldn't help but stare and exclaim in surprise.
Zhou Tingyue also saw the ginseng.
"This ginseng is too expensive, you guys, it's good to sell it for money! Or you can make medicinal wine with it!"
Song Shiwei was naturally surprised. He didn't expect that there was ginseng in the back mountain. Come to think of it, the development of mountains and forests was not very strong in this era, especially in Qilian Island. There were basically no people going to the mountains except for some villagers who occasionally went up the mountain to pick some things.
It's not impossible to have such a big ginseng. It looks like it's at least a hundred-year-old ginseng, right?
The most valuable thing is that Gousheng was able to dig it out intact, without even a single ginseng beard being broken off. This shows that he knew how precious this thing was and dug it very carefully.
In this case, Song Shiwei is even less acceptable.
"I can't take this, it's too expensive. It looks like a 100-year-old ginseng. Do you know how much a 100-year-old ginseng sells for? You can't just give it away!"
Hearing her words, Xiao Cui and Gou Sheng looked at each other and said with a smile: "Sister Weiwei, we know this thing is precious, but compared to you, you are the most precious in our hearts! This ginseng was found by Gou Sheng last month. It took him a month to dig it out slowly. He said at that time that he wanted to give it to you. I heard that ginseng can save lives. You are pregnant with your fourth baby now, which is particularly difficult, especially when it comes to delivery. When the time comes, you can slice this ginseng and hold it in your mouth, at least it can help you breathe! Anyway... we want to give it to you, so keep it!"
Gousheng also nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Sister Weiwei, without you, I would not be where I am today. You saved my life! You also gave me a new life. I can live such a good life, all thanks to your help, Sister Weiwei. I am not an ungrateful person. I have said that I will repay you for your kindness to me even if I have to work like a cow or a horse in this life! Therefore, this ginseng is really nothing. No matter how much it can be sold for, it is not as important as you!"
After hearing what the two children said, Song Shiwei was so moved that she wanted to cry.
These two kids were too sincere. They didn't know that this century-old ginseng would be very valuable in Beijing. Many people wanted to buy it but couldn't. She had heard before that someone spent 30,000 yuan to buy a century-old ginseng to save his life!
Perhaps Xiao Cui and Gou Sheng were not unaware of the value of this century-old ginseng. Just as they said, they just absolutely compared it to this ginseng. They wanted to use the ginseng to help her get through the gates of hell during childbirth.
I gave it to her now because I wanted her to keep it with her in case anything happens.
She was truly touched by the kindness of the two children.
To be honest, she was indeed afraid, especially as her belly grew bigger, Song Shiwei became more and more panicked. She had never thought that she would be pregnant with four babies at once, especially in this era with relatively backward medical conditions.
Even in the 21st century, many women would die from heavy bleeding during childbirth, let alone at this time.
Giving birth to four children requires a lot of physical strength. Having this ginseng is like having an extra weight.
Zhou Tingyue should have thought of this as well.
He looked at Song Shiwei, stretched out his hand to take the ginseng, and sighed deeply, "I accepted it on behalf of your sister Weiwei. Thank you for your kindness. This ginseng is hard to come by in a hundred years. Xiaocui, Gousheng, you are all good children. Originally, we really shouldn't have accepted this ginseng, but just think of it as me accepting it shamelessly. After all, I am also afraid that your sister Weiwei will get sick. If she has this ginseng with her, it may save her life..."
