Chapter 94 Birthday Gift

After breakfast, the highlight was about to begin. At noon, she was going to make a barbecue for the children. There were a lot of things to prepare, such as slicing pork belly and processing various seafood.

You also need to get charcoal for grilling.

Fortunately, after Sun Meimei and the others finished their meal, they all came over to help.

Those who wash vegetables wash vegetables, and those who cut meat cut meat.

Song Shiwei took Zhou Cheng, Zhou Lin and Zhou Tingyue, carrying firewood and shovels, to a deserted dirt slope.

Making charcoal is simple, but also difficult. The most important thing is the method.

Because when making charcoal, there can't be too much air flow, otherwise the charcoal will burn completely, but some air flow is needed.

Therefore, Song Shiwei needed to dig an earthen kiln on the slope.

Then light the firewood you brought, slowly put some small firewood in, then put the large sticks next to it, let the fire slowly spread over, and then wait for the sticks to burn slowly. This process will take a long time.

After waiting for about half an hour, when the wooden sticks inside turn red, it means that the fuel on the outside has been almost burned, and charcoal can be made at this time.

There are many ways to make charcoal. You can take out the red wood sticks and put them in water to make charcoal, or you can choose to cut off the air to make it charcoal.

Song Shiwei simply smashed the soil on top of the kiln with a shovel and pressed it on the burnt firewood. Finally, he buried all the soil that had been dug out before and stomped the soil down to make it firm.

After the process was completed, Song Shi smiled and clapped his hands.

"Okay, wait until noon and then we can come over and dig some coal!"

Zhou Lin was obviously very surprised.

"Mom, can we make charcoal like this?"

Song Shi smiled and nodded: "Yes, I will bring you here to dig at noon, and you will know!"

When I was bringing a few people back, I happened to see a soldier on duty at the sentry post, bringing Xiao Cui and the others over.

As soon as Xiao Cui saw Song Shiwei, she ran over happily.

"Happy birthday, Sister Weiwei!"

Xiaojun and Gousheng also shouted: "Sister Weiwei, happy birthday!"

Xiao Cui shyly took out the sweater she had knitted from behind her back.

"Sister Weiwei, I don't know what kind of birthday gift to prepare for you, so I knitted you a sweater! I wonder if you like it?"

Song Shiwei took a look and saw that it was a blue sweater with various patterns woven on it, and even the cuffs had lace crocheted with a crochet hook.

Very nice! Very beautiful!

"Did you knit this sweater yourself?"

Xiao Cui nodded with a red face.

"Who did you learn such a complicated weaving method from?"

Xiao Cui pursed her lips embarrassedly.

"I didn't learn it from anyone, I just studied it at home!"

Song Shiwei was extremely surprised. She didn't expect her hands to be so skillful! And she obviously had a talent for fashion design!

It’s amazing that I can come up with such a beautiful weaving method by studying it at home!

"Thank you, Xiao Cui, you are amazing, I love you!"

When Xiao Cui heard that she liked it, her eyes lit up.

Sun Meimei heard the noise, came out to see what was happening, and was obviously surprised as well.

"Oh my god, Xiao Cui, did you knit this yourself? It's so beautiful, right? Teach me later!"

Xiao Cui nodded shyly: "Okay, Sister Meimei!"

Xiaojun also handed over the big bucket in his hand.

"Sister Weiwei, I don't know what to give you. I just caught a stingray two days ago and I'm giving it to you as a birthday present. I hope you like it!"

"Ray?"

This time Song Shiwei was really surprised, because this kind of stingray is usually difficult to catch on the shore.

"This is so precious!"

Xiaojun chuckled: "I don't know whether it's precious or not, but I know I'm happy to be able to give it to Sister Weiwei as a gift!"

As he said this, he turned his head and looked at Gousheng: "Brother Gousheng, didn't you also prepare a gift for Sister Weiwei? Take it out quickly?"

Song Shiwei then noticed that Gousheng had his hands behind his back and there was a suspicious blush on his face, and he was obviously a little embarrassed.

After hearing what Xiaojun said, he took out the things in his hand uncomfortably.

It was the pheasant that Song Shiwei saw that day, and a fat wild rabbit with a big belly!

The picture comes from the Internet

The wild rabbit was very lively. The dog held its ears and it kept struggling in his hands!

"Sister Weiwei...I'm giving this to you!"

Song Shiwei was very touched: "Thank you! Thank you! I like your birthday gifts very much!"

Xinxin, Zhou Wei, Wenwen and several other children immediately gathered around.

"Wow!! It's a little rabbit! So cute!"

"Yeah, it's so cute!"

Zhou Wei looked at Gousheng with admiration: "Brother Gousheng, how come you are so amazing? You can even catch pheasants and rabbits! You are really amazing!"

The dog, who had never been praised before, suddenly blushed with embarrassment and rubbed his hands awkwardly.

“Also, there’s nothing left! Hehehe…”

But it was obvious that Zhou Cheng, Zhou Lin and other older kids were also attracted.

"It's really amazing, Brother Gousheng, how did you catch it? Can you teach us?"

Having said that, he pulled him and Xiaojun aside to ask for advice.

Song Shi smiled and turned his gaze away from them, then turned to Xiao Cui and said, "Come on, Xiao Cui, let's go inside!"

Xiao Cui smiled and nodded, then followed.

There were many children coming today, so Song Shiwei simply took out some of the fruits and candies he had bought last time and let the children eat them.

She grabbed a handful of candy and handed it to Xiao Cui: "Take it and go back with Xiao Jun to eat it!"

Xiao Cui waved her hands and said, "No need, Sister Weiwei, save it for Xinxin and the others, okay?"

But how could Song Shiwei not see the envy in her eyes.

He stuffed the candy in his hand directly into her pocket: "They still have some. You can take these back and give them to Xiaojun and Gou to eat raw! Besides, I have to go to Qing City in two days, I will buy more for them then!"

Xiao Cui then took it and covered her pocket carefully, making it look as if it was not filled with candy but a lot of money.

Song Shiwei felt extremely distressed. Children nowadays are much happier. They have bad teeth from eating too much sweets, all kinds of lollipops, candies, and various snacks.

But children of this generation are reluctant to eat any candy.

I really hope that the planned economy can be quickly passed and that after reform and opening up, the country can truly develop and the people can live a good life.

In the yard, Zhou Tingyue had already cleaned the oven he had built earlier, and had also brushed the wire mesh on it until it was clean and shiny.

Song Shiwei and Sun Meimei sat together at the door stringing sliced ​​pork belly and various seafood.

She also prepared a lot of vegetables, such as potato chips, sweet potato chips, mushrooms, leeks, and a few large eggplants, which are all essential small vegetables for barbecue!

In addition to fish, squid and shrimp are also skewered.

Just then, a car suddenly drove into the compound.
