"Uh, didn't everyone finish work? How come everyone's gathered here so soon?"

Gu Xiaohu originally wanted to share his amazing achievements with his friends, so he explained it to her as well.

"I walked a short distance and realized that my short legs couldn't run fast at all."

"So I shouted from the roadside: Sister Chen and Brother Chu are dragging the wild boar back."

"Can anyone help me find Comrade Gu Chengde and ask him to prepare for the pig slaughtering at the drying yard?"

Well, Shen Mu Ning was greatly shocked, and it took her a while to give him a thumbs up and praise him.

"Our little tiger is quite smart." She forced a smile as she discussed with Chu Mingxu.

"Of course I'm smart, I even had my older brothers spread the word." He puffed out his chest proudly.

Although Gu Xiaohu was still a little kid, he knew that every time a pig was slaughtered and the meat was divided, it was considered a top priority in the brigade.

This is similar to calculating work points and distributing grain; everyone in the entire brigade has to be present.

Actually, not everyone needs to be present when distributing the meat; just one person from each household is enough.

However, many families only eat meat once a year, so everyone just wants to watch.

Shen Mu Ning sighed and rubbed her forehead. She knew it! How come everyone knew in such a short time?

"Young Shen and Young Chu, come here quickly." The brigade leader was quite pleased to see everyone carrying the wild boar over.

It's clear that everyone here is very perceptive and knows how to lend a hand.

However, by coming over, they left the two educated youths who had hunted the wild boar behind, which is unacceptable.

Although according to current regulations, any large game hunted by an individual must be handed over to the brigade.

Then the brigade leaders, namely the brigade leader, secretary, and accountant, decide on the allocation method.

However, their brigade also has different rules.

Let alone how dangerous it is to encounter a large animal alone, it would be good enough if everyone could escape.

Anyone who has the ability to hunt wild boar can certainly keep it for themselves.

Although private trading is now strictly prohibited, anyone with a bit of knowledge knows that there is still a black market.

If they secretly sell all their prey, no one will know, and they can make a fortune in the process.

Under such circumstances, no one would be willing to hand over their prey selflessly.

For example, Uncle Cao, who was very good at hunting in their brigade, used to hand over the rabbits he hunted to the brigade when he was still able to go up the mountain.

The three leaders, including the captain, aimed to motivate those skilled in hunting.

A special rule was established: any game handed over to the brigade would be exchanged for work points by the brigade members.

Of course, it wasn't acquired based on market value.

Instead, they converted half the market price into work points, and then gave all of those work points to the person who handed over the prey.

Shen Mu Ning knew a little about this rule, after all, in that novel, Lin Si Qi had handed over her prey.

Chu Mingxu was not very familiar with this, because he had never seen such a scene since he came to Xinshan Brigade.

In his memory, the only times for dividing the meat were when slaughtering the New Year's pig and after the annual winter hunt.

He was also unlucky; Cao Ding, who was a skilled hunter in previous years, was injured during a winter hunt.

From then on, he could no longer go hunting in the mountains, and even during winter hunts, it was his son Cao Qi who organized them.

Upon hearing the captain's call, the two walked straight toward them, and the people who had been watching the wild boar made way for them.

"Captain, what brings you here?" Chu Mingxu asked as he approached.

Gu Chengde did not answer immediately, but instead asked the people around him to quiet down.

"Alright, everyone, please quiet down and listen to me."

Although everyone's attention is now focused on the wild boar, the brigade leader has a lot of influence and is usually in charge of production.

So even though some people were unwilling, the surroundings quickly quieted down.

"Let me say this first, Shen and Chu, are you sure you want to hand over this pig?"

Although he knew that everyone was telling him to prepare to slaughter the pig, it meant that he was handing it over to the brigade.

However, he still wanted to ask everyone to clarify and confirm the allocation of work points later.

Although Chu Mingxu did not understand his intention, he still answered firmly: "We will hand over this wild boar to the brigade."

Originally, according to his opinion, the wild boar belonged entirely to Shen Mu Ning, and there was no need to add his name.

However, on the way back, they discussed it and decided to say that it was the two of them who killed the wild boar.

Otherwise, someone who can kill a wild boar by himself is indeed frightening.

Shen Mu Ning is a girl, and if the truth were told, there would definitely be more rumors about her circulating in the brigade.

So, it's still said that the two of them saw the wild boar trapped in the trap and that's why they killed it.

Anyway, there were indeed some traces on its body that it had fallen into a trap, but their trap just didn't manage to trap it.

Gu Chengde nodded, and the accountant beside him quickly made a note in a notebook.

He then turned to the others and said seriously, "As you all know, our brigade has special procedures for handling game that has been handed over."

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances; the children under ten years old present likely did not understand.

However, the adults here all knew what the captain meant by the special method.

"The method is that we are responsible for slaughtering the game, and then everyone exchanges work points for meat at half the market price."

People around were whispering among themselves, but no one stepped forward to voice their opposition.
