His words not only made the children's blood boil, but even Song Shiwei felt warm in her 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 should set off quickly, otherwise you may miss the bus!"
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 turning around and getting in the car.
Wang Chunxiang and Jian Qiu stayed in the family compound to celebrate the New Year this time. They waved their hands to tell her to be careful on the road. As they watched her walk away, they did not forget to hand some snacks they had prepared in advance to Song Shiwei.
“Eat to kill time on the way!”
"These are some dried plums I dried in the sun. I soaked them in sugar for a long time! They taste pretty good, sour and sweet. If you get carsick or seasick, 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 quickly waved her hands: "Well, we're sisters, why are you being so polite?"
Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin had also packed their things and were now carrying them to 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 live in a rural area on the outskirts of Beijing, so they can just stop by.
During this period, 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.
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 told her to stop and just celebrate the New Year with them in the staff quarters.
But 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. It had been too long since she had been 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 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 but feel 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 for the New Year, and I'll be back after the New Year! I'll only be gone for about ten days. If I go any longer, the army won't agree. Your brother Zhou's annual leave is only about ten days!"
Gousheng handed the thing in his hand to Zhou Cheng who was standing beside him.
"Sister Weiwei, we don't have anything special, so we prepared some mountain mushrooms, two pheasants, and a plant of this..."
As he spoke, he took out a small cloth bag from his arms and opened it. Song Shiwei was almost stunned.
It turned out to be a complete ginseng with all its whiskers and tails intact. 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 tendril would be at least one meter long.
"Wow, 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 valuable, you guys, it's good to sell it for money! Or you can make medicinal wine with it!"
Song Shiwei was naturally surprised. He hadn't expected there to be ginseng in the back mountains. It made sense. Back then, the development of the mountains and forests wasn't very extensive, especially on Qilian Island. Apart from some villagers who occasionally went up to pick some, the mountains were largely deserted.
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 hair 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 likely to be accepted.
"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? I can't just give it away!"
Hearing her words, Xiao Cui and Gou Sheng exchanged a glance and said with a smile, "Sister Weiwei, we know this thing is precious, but compared to you, you are the most precious to us! This ginseng was discovered by Gou Sheng last month. It took him a month to slowly dig it out. He said at the time that he wanted to give it to you. I heard that ginseng can save lives. You are pregnant with four babies 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 help you breathe! Anyway... we want to give it to you, so keep it!"
Gousheng also nodded quickly: "Yes, Sister Weiwei, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't 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, Gousheng, am not an ungrateful person. I said that even if I have to work like a cow or a horse in this life, I will repay you for your kindness to me! So, 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 almost wanted to cry.
These two kids were too sincere. They didn't know that this century-old ginseng is very hard to come by in Beijing. Many people want to buy it but can't. She had heard before that someone spent 30,000 yuan to buy a century-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 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 keep it with her in case of any emergency.
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 rare in a hundred years and can't be found by chance. Xiao Cui, Gousheng, you are both good children. Originally, we really shouldn't have accepted 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, maybe she can save her life..."
