Logically speaking, it would be fine to distribute the money to those few people, but it wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't distributed.

Since they were colleagues who worked together, Sheng Xiping didn't want to make things too ugly.

So he discussed with Zhang Shuzhen that they would give the three people 150 yuan, and that would be the end of it.

Zhang Shuzhen took out 150 of the 2,500, and divided the remaining money in two. Zhang Shuzhen kept 1,200, and the remaining 1,150 was given to Sheng Xiping.

"Mom, help Xinhua get dressed, I'll carry him to the security office."

Sheng Xiping was away for two days, and little Xinhua kept clinging to his father's neck, refusing to let go.

Sheng Xiping went to the west room to put the money away, and the little guy insisted on coming along. Sheng Xiping thought he could take the money to the three people before he got off work at noon, but Sheng Xinhua grinned and was about to cry.

With no other option, Sheng Xiping had to ask his mother for help. She dressed Sheng Xinhua in thick clothes, put on a hat and scarf, wrapped him in a small blanket, and carried her son out of the house.

It was midday, the sun was shining brightly outside, and the wind wasn't too strong.

Sheng Xiping carefully covered his son's mouth and nose with a scarf, and carried Xiao Xinhua all the way to the security department of the field headquarters.

"Oh my, Xiping, why did you bring the child out? Oh my, let me see my nephew."

Li Zhenggang happened to be in the security department when he saw Sheng Xiping carrying the child into the room, so he quickly reached out and took the child from him.

Sheng Xinhua is not shy with strangers; he'll let anyone hold him. He didn't cry even when Li Zhenggang was holding him.

Arriving in a new environment, the little guy's eyes couldn't take it all in; he looked around everywhere, finding everything new and exciting.

Sheng Xiping also took the opportunity to distribute the money to the three people.

After receiving the money, everyone praised Sheng Xiping for his generosity, saying that if they found any more prey in the future, they would definitely tell Sheng Xiping.

It was Sheng Xinhua's first time visiting the security department, and everything seemed new and exciting.

This child is handsome, chubby and fair-skinned like a dough ball, and has a good temper; he doesn't cry or make a fuss and smiles at everyone he sees.

Even the rough-around-the-edges men in the security department, who didn't even care much for their own children, couldn't help but come over one by one to hug Sheng Xinhua and admire him.

"You know, we're all raising children, so why is your Xinhua so much more fond of people?"

And look at my kids, they're all like they were dug out of a coal pile, their faces covered in smears and marks, just looking at them gives me a headache.

Some people were holding the well-behaved and adorable Sheng Xinhua while complaining about their own children.

These were all jokes, nobody took them seriously, and everyone just laughed it off.

The saying goes, "Other people's wives are always better, but your own children are always the best." This is an age-old truth. No matter how much you complain about your own children, you still love them in your heart.

Sheng Xiping was on the night shift, so after wandering around the security office and satisfying Xiao Xinhua's curiosity, he wrapped his son up again and left the security office with him in his arms.

As they were leaving, Xiao Xinhua waved his little hand to say goodbye to the uncles and elders from the security department.

The child's adorable appearance prompted the security guards to urge Sheng Xiping to bring the child over to play whenever he had free time.

"Little rascal, you're so young but you're already quite the actor. You're well-behaved when we're out, but at home you whine and fuss over me, aren't you?"

Sheng Xiping smiled and kissed his son's little face, then carried the baby all the way home.

December 7th is the Major Snow solar term, and from then until the Major Cold solar term, the temperature is relatively low.

The animals in the mountains have thick, soft, and glossy fur, making it the best time to hunt for their pelts.

Especially sable fur, which is a top-quality fur and a good material for export to make fur coats, and the purchase price is not low.

In previous years, at this time, Sheng Xiping would be logging in the mountains and would never have the chance to go up the mountain, let alone hunt sable.

Now that he works in the security department, he has plenty of free time, so why not make the most of it and go up the mountain?

So, during his rest day, Sheng Xiping took his wild boar skin skis, carried his gun, packed a bag of hardboard clips, and went up the mountain.

Those skis were a gift from Liu Changde to Sheng Xiping a few years ago.

Liu Changde was a former soldier and an experienced hunter. He was proficient in various hunting methods and could easily make all kinds of hunting tools. He was a jack-of-all-trades.

These wild boar skin skis are somewhat similar to the professional skis used in later generations, with the hairy side facing down and the hair facing forward.

The skis have special places for your feet, and there are thin ropes on both sides of the foot covers.

When using it, put your feet into the shoe covers, tie them securely with thin ropes, and hold two ash wood sticks in your hands for support.

Going uphill is easy; just take it one step at a time. Going downhill is easy; just find the right direction and slide down.

Sables generally live in high mountains, and they like to build their nests in the crevices of rocks at the foot of mountains.

Of course, this nest is not permanent; it will move around at any time depending on the season and the availability of food.

Sables are solitary animals. Except during the breeding season, female and male sables do not live together and are mostly alone.

Sables have their own territory and usually hunt within a radius of several miles around their nests, preying on birds, mice, rabbits, and the like.

In winter, they mostly prey on rodents in the mountains.

Sables are small, agile, and fast-moving creatures that are difficult to catch.

Experienced hunters will look for patterns in the sable's activity range by observing the tracks in the snow, and then find the places where it frequently appears to set traps.

Sheng Xiping had learned how to hunt sables from Liu Changde, and before he became an educated youth, he had also gone up the mountain with Liu Changde.

Although he hasn't had the opportunity to set traps to hunt sables in recent years, he has discovered several places where sables frequently roam while working in the mountains.
