When we got home, Shen Xiu'e was already counting the gifts to take to the old house.
She was so happy to see them both come back.
"Weiwei, Tingyue is back? Is he cold? Come upstairs and rest for a while!"
Song Shiwei looked at the table full of goodies and said with a smile, "Mom, are these all the gifts we're going to take?"
Shen Xiu'e checked and nodded, "Yes, we go there once a year. If we don't bring enough, we'll be criticized by those people. It's better to bring more so that we don't have to eat a meal and be criticized by others!"
Song Shi smiled and said, "Do you need Tingyue and I to prepare anything else?"
Shen Xiu'e smiled and waved her hand: "No, you young ones don't need to bring anything! I've prepared everything! Speaking of which, it's your first year of marriage, and as a new bride, you not only don't need to bring gifts, you even have to accept them!"
Zhou Tingyue also smiled and patted her hands.
"Okay, don't worry about it. Go upstairs and rest for a while. I'll stay and help Mom see if there's anything else that needs to be done!"
Song Shiwei nodded and whispered in his ear, "Although Mom said so, we'd better prepare something. Before I left, I asked Xiao Cui to send me a box of seafood. You can go to the post office and check. It should have arrived!"
Those were the sea cucumbers, abalone, dried squid, shrimps, dried scallops, dried fish maw and isinglass that she had dried in advance, and even the spicy drunken crab claws that she had marinated in wine when she had nothing better to do.
Speaking of crab claws, Song Shiwei also used a lot of crab meat. Except for the crab roe, which she picked out to make crab roe buns for the children, she removed the crab shells from the rest and marinated the crab meat and crab claws.
In addition to giving a few bottles to Sun Meimei, Jian Qiu, and Wang Chunxiang in the family compound, she also gave a few bottles to Xiao Cui and Gou Sheng, and asked Xiao Cui to send the rest to her.
I was thinking that it’s rare to eat seafood in the inland, especially in this cold winter.
It would be great to have a seafood meal.
It can also be made into Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
It's just quite time-consuming, so she plans to cook it herself on New Year's Day.
Zhou Tingyue looked at his worried young wife in front of him and said with a helpless smile: "Okay, I get it, you should go up and rest! Take your time!"
Only then did Song Shiwei go upstairs.
Now her body is getting heavier and heavier. After sitting on the bicycle for such a long time, not only her buttocks hurt, but her waist also hurts.
She lay down gently on the bed, rubbed her aching waist, then closed her eyes and took a nap.
When she woke up, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon.
At this time, Zhou Runde also came back from get off work early.
When Song Shiwei went downstairs, Shen Xiu'e was directing Xiao Zhang and Zhou Tingyue to move things into the car.
Several children also came back from outside.
Xinxin and Zhou Wei immediately surrounded her happily when they saw her.
"Mom, are you awake?"
"It's snowing outside, really hard!"
Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin also came over.
Song Shi smiled and rubbed Xinxin's little head, then looked out the window.
Sure enough, it was snowing heavily outside.
The snow in this era is so beautiful and heavy. It is already getting dark and the lights in the yard are on.
Under the dim yellow light, large flakes of snow fell.
It gave Song Shiwei a feeling of tranquility and peace.
Zhou Tingyue loaded the things into the car and walked over with a smile.
"woke up?"
Song Shiwei looked outside and asked, "Is everything installed?"
Zhou Tingyue nodded.
She suddenly felt a little irritated: "Why didn't you call me earlier?"
Zhou Tingyue smiled and touched and pinched her soft fingers.
"It's okay, I'm still here. I want you to sleep a little longer. I don't need your help anyway. This is what my parents wanted. They said we'll leave after you wake up!"
Song Shiwei felt even more embarrassed.
"Have you checked the post office? Have the things you sent arrived?"
Zhou Tingyue quickly pointed to the kitchen: "I put it all in the kitchen!"
When Song Shiwei heard this, he immediately strode over.
The package was really big, and she packed a lot of things in it. She thought of keeping some and sending some to her parents.
Now is the perfect time, I can take some to the old house.
Song Shiwei opened the package and took out a lot of sea cucumbers, abalone, scallops and scallop meat.
Let Zhou Tingyue find something to pack it up.
When Shen Xiu'e came in and saw it, she was shocked.
"What is this? Sea cucumber, abalone?"
"And dried squid?"
“Hey, what is this??”
Song Shiwei was extremely curious when she saw her holding a piece of fish maw.
I couldn't help but explain with a smile, "Mom, this is fish maw, or fish maw. It's rich in protein and gelatin, and it nourishes yin and skin, replenishes blood, strengthens the kidneys, strengthens the body's functions, strengthens the kidneys and nourishes essence, and can also help you quickly relieve fatigue!"
When Shen Xiu'e heard this, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh, so according to what you said, this is a good thing!"
Song Shi smiled and nodded: "It's really good stuff! I'm going to take some to Grandpa!"
Hearing her say this, Shen Xiu'e immediately understood what was going on.
He looked down at the big bag of things in Zhou Tingyue's hand and suddenly felt a little distressed.
"It would be a shame to let them take these good things!"
She dared to guarantee that only a very small amount of these things would actually end up in the old man's stomach, and most of them would be taken away by her brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law!
Song Shi smiled and said, "It's okay, Mom. I picked these up from the beach anyway, and they don't cost any money. If you and Dad want to eat them in the future, I'll send them to you!"
Shen Xiu'e likes to listen to Song Shiwei talk, and it always makes her happy.
"Okay, okay, we're still the best! It's getting late, shall we set off?"
Before leaving, Song Shiwei checked the appearance of several children and made sure they were all dressed neatly before getting into the car.
Because there were so many people, Zhou Runde arranged two cars, the same as when he picked up Song Shiwei and the others.
He, Shen Xiu'e, Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin rode in one car, while Song Shiwei, Zhou Tingyue and the two little ones rode in another.
Xinxin and Zhou Wei were very happy along the way.
They were all wearing new clothes, and it was their first time to celebrate the New Year in Beijing, so they were so happy!
Xinxin peeked out the car window: "Mom, Beijing is so beautiful!"
Zhou Wei also nodded in agreement: "That's right, it's my first time in such a big city. On Qilian Island, it's rare to see a tricycle, but on the main roads of Beijing, you can see a car from time to time! It's so prosperous!"
Xinxin nodded in agreement, "There are so many shops and tall department stores! Mom, look at the Jingshi Hotel over there; it's so tall!"
Song Shiwei looked in the direction of her little finger and saw the Jingshi Hotel, which was almost the tallest building in the whole of Beijing.
I heard that it is more than ten stories high. It usually receives national leaders and foreign guests, and serves state banquets. It is very difficult for ordinary people to go in and have a meal.
Seeing this, Song Shiwei couldn't help but feel a little envious.
I wonder when she will be able to open a big hotel of her own?
