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 who could not go home because their husbands had to be on duty, so they simply made an appointment to get together on New Year's Eve to make dumplings.
Before leaving, Sun Meimei looked at Song Shiwei's huge 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 leave quickly, otherwise you may miss the bus later!"
Seeing that Lao Zheng and the others had packed up and were waiting for her, Sun Meimei said no more. She just asked 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. They waved their hands to ask her to be careful on the road. As they watched her walk away, they did not forget to hand Song Shiwei some snacks they had prepared in advance.
“Eat to kill time on the way!”
"These are the dried plums I dried in the sun. They were soaked in sugar for a long time! They taste sour and sweet and are quite good. If you suffer from motion sickness, eat a few! It should help relieve it!"
Song Shiwei took the things and put them on the top of the bag.
"Thank you, sisters-in-law!"
Wang Chunxiang quickly waved her hands: "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 set off right away!"
Wang Chuanling and Lian Fengxia's homes were in a rural suburb not too far from Beijing, so they could just pass by.
During this time, Lian Fengxia's forehead injury has almost healed. Wang Chuanling and Zhou Tingyue thought that if they travel together, they can take care of each other.
When Song Shiwei first 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 and just celebrate the New Year with them in the staff quarters.
But at that time, she had agreed with Zhao Huili and Shen Xiu'e that she would go back for the New Year. Besides, she also wanted to go back and visit. It had been too long since she last went back, and the children had never been to Beijing. 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 they can all be taken care of if anything happens.
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 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 have to come back after the New Year! I'm only away for about ten days. If I stay away for longer, the army won't agree. Your brother Zhou's annual leave is only about ten days!"
Gousheng handed what he was holding 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 whiskers and tail. The main body looked bigger than a dog's palm, not to mention the other whiskers!
If it were really stretched out, the longest ginseng root 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, you can 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. It makes sense. In that era, the development of mountains and forests was not that serious, especially on Qilian Island. Apart from some villagers who occasionally went up the mountain to pick things, basically no one went there.
It is not impossible to have such a big ginseng. It looks like it is at least a hundred-year-old ginseng, right?
The most commendable thing is that Gousheng was able to dig out the ginseng intact, without a single beard broken. It can be seen that he knew how precious this thing was and dug it very carefully.
In this case, Song Shiwei is even less desirable.
"I can't have this thing, it's too valuable. Judging from its appearance, it's at least a hundred-year-old ginseng. Do you know how much a hundred-year-old ginseng can sell 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 discovered 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 four fetuses now, which is particularly difficult, especially when it comes to delivery. When the time comes, you can put this ginseng slice in your mouth, at least it can keep you alive! Anyway... we want to give it to you, so keep it!"
Gousheng also nodded quickly: "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 hundred-year-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 hundred-year-old ginseng to save his life!
Maybe Xiao Cui and Gou Sheng are not unaware of the value of this century-old ginseng. Just as they said, they just compare it to this ginseng. They want to use ginseng to help her get through the difficult time of childbirth.
I gave it to her at this time because I wanted her to take it with her in case anything happened.
She was truly touched by the kindness of the two children.
To be honest, she was indeed scared, especially as her belly grew bigger, Song Shiwei became 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 still 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. Xiao Cui, Gou Sheng, you are all good children. Originally, we really shouldn't have taken this ginseng, but just consider it as me accepting it with a shameless face. After all, I am also afraid that your sister Weiwei will have an accident. If she has this ginseng with her at that time, maybe it can save her life..."
