The three of them rested for a while before they recovered.

Xiao Xiao went inside to cook, while Yuan Shitou and Fan Tiesheng were in charge of preparing the game.

Since the three of them hunted the game together, the spoils should be divided equally among them.

They might suffer some losses in this small way, but they don't mind.

When Mr. and Mrs. Yuan returned from work, they were both surprised to see so many prey.

He put down his hoe and started helping.

They need to handle this quickly so that Fan Tiesheng can take him home that night.

While dealing with the situation, he also recounted all the events that had happened in the past few days.

By the time all the prey had been processed and divided, it was almost midnight.

People were already fast asleep by now.

Yuan Shitou told Xiaoxiao to go to sleep first, and he helped Fan Tiesheng return the things.

After he left, Xiaoxiao didn't go to sleep.

Together with Mr. and Mrs. Yuan, they cut the meat into small pieces and cured it with salt.

We'll make it into jerky later.

This way it keeps well and is convenient to eat whenever you want.

When Yuan Shitou returned, he saw that everyone was still busy, so he quickly joined in.

The next morning, Mr. and Mrs. Yuan went to work as usual, and Yuan Shitou went with them.

Xiao Xiao was still sleeping soundly in bed like a little pig.

Yuan's mother and the others never intended for her to go out to work.

Their family isn't unable to support her, nor do they need her work points.

Actually, it wouldn't matter if Mr. Yuan didn't go, since he has mobility issues and no one can say anything about it.

Besides, it's only the beginning of the group, the rules aren't that strict yet, and the other people haven't adapted to it.

Everyone felt it was none of their business and decided to mind their own business.

If you don't work, you won't get work points, and therefore you won't get food.

It has little to do with them.

So no one will keep an eye on it.

But Mr. Yuan felt that staying at home was like being a useless person, and that he could still do some light work outside.

So Yuan's mother let him have his way, as long as he was happy.

As soon as Fan Tiesheng returned home, he handed over the game to Grandma Yuan to handle.

I went to work the next day.

He is the pillar of the family. Although Yuan Min's father, Yuan Da, has recovered from his leg injury, he is still unable to do heavy work.

Grandpa Yuan is getting old, but he still has to go to work.

Grandma Yuan will no longer be able to go to work.

I've never been up the mountain before, and now that I'm older, it's even less likely I'll go.

So she prepared the meat at home.

Yuan Min looked after the two children and helped out.

They listened to even the smallest suggestions, and they all made the meat into jerky.

When Yuan Fugui saw Yuan Shitou coming to work, he knew that they had returned from the mountain.

He quickly called out, "Stone, where's your Xiaoxiao? I haven't seen her."

Yuan Shitou has a simple-minded look, and the things he says make you want to punch him:

"Uncle, what do you want with Xiaoxiao?"

My daughter is frail, so I let her rest at home and not come to work.

I have the means to support her.

Yuan Fugui really wanted to roll his eyes.

I know you're capable and love your wife dearly.

But there's no need to say it out loud.

It makes it seem like others are incompetent.

And your little one is so weak, yet he goes hunting in the mountains all day long. I doubt even a ghost would believe it if I told you.

"Stop being silly, of course I have something to say to her."

"What's wrong? I can go home at noon and pass on the message for you."

Yuan Shitou rolled his eyes, eager to know why the village chief wanted to see his wife.

He definitely wouldn't agree to Xiaoxiao going out to work.

Yuan Fugui looked at him with disdain: "You think you can make such a small decision?"

Just then, a small voice came from not far away: "Uncle, what do you need me for?"

Yuan Fugui was overjoyed; it was truly a case of speaking of the devil and he appears.

"Xiaoxiao, come here, I really have something to ask you about."

When Xiao Xiao woke up, she saw that only Gou Dan'er was at home, and she knew that they had all come to work.

She was also eager to see what working together as a group was like.

He boiled some water and brought it with him, and just then he saw Yuan Fugui talking to Yuan Shitou.

When Yuan Shitou saw Xiaoxiao arrive, he glanced at the sun in the sky and gave her a reproachful look:

"Xiaoxiao, what brings you here? It's so hot today, go back quickly, or you'll get heatstroke."

Yuan Fugui's lips twitched. Everyone said that Shi Tou was a doting husband, and it was indeed true.

Xiao Xiao seemed to take it all in stride and didn't think anything of it.

"Okay, I'll just go out for a walk and I'll be back in a bit."

"Uncle, what did you want to see me about?"

After answering Yuan Shitou's question, he turned to ask the village chief, Yuan Fugui.

Yuan Fugui was afraid that Xiao Xiao would disagree, since the scorekeeper still had to be in the sun.

Given the Yuan family's character, they certainly wouldn't want their little one to leave.

So he pulled Xiaoxiao aside and started pouring out his grievances:

"Xiaoxiao, do you know that we live in a collective now, and everyone has to earn work points to make a living?"

With such a large village, it's impossible for my uncle to manage it all by himself.

Uncle wants to find someone to help. Do you think you could do the scorekeeping job?

Don't worry, the scorekeeper still gets ten work points a day.

The little eyes blinked, and a reminder was given:

"Are you referring to a scorekeeper who records the number of workers and their tardiness or early departures every day?"

The village chief nodded: "Yes, yes, that's it."

Cultured people are different; they understand things immediately.

Xiao Xiao was embarrassed by his praise.

She has no education whatsoever; in the new century, she's just a high school student.

He only thinks about having fun every day, and he never even went to university.

I feel quite ashamed to be praised so highly by the village chief.

Yuan Shitou immediately came over: "Wife, let's not be scorekeepers."

Just stay home and take care of yourself. Brother Stone will support you.

Yuan Fugui glared at Yuan Shitou: "Hey, you stinky stone, who gave you the right to speak here? Get to work and stop slacking off."

Xiao Xiao smiled and waved to him, and Yuan Shitou had no choice but to continue working.

Those eyes kept drifting over here, always watching.

I'm afraid Xiaoxiao will be tricked by the village chief into becoming a scorekeeper.

He didn't understand what a scorekeeper was, but since it meant he had to work anyway, he didn't want to do it.

Xiao Xiao looked at the village chief: "Uncle, what are your thoughts? Why don't you tell me?"

What are Yuan Fugui's thoughts?

This is also the first time for him, a young woman getting married.

Something he had never experienced before suddenly happened to him.

I've finally managed to get used to it these past few days.

But he was exhausted every day.

When Xiaoxiao asked this question, she poured out her grievances.

So Xiaoxiao gave him a suggestion: "Uncle, actually, this scorekeeper is not needed at all."

Let me put it this way.

You can divide all the people into several groups.

For example, if there are 50 people in a group, then elect a group leader.

If there are five groups, you will be one of the five group leaders.

Each team leader is responsible for 50 people under their command.

Then you take charge of these five group leaders.

Of course, there are other aspects you also need to take care of.

If possible, you can also suggest an accountant.

Of course, this accountant needs to be literate.

Because when it comes to calculating work points and distributing grain, an accountant will be needed.

The village chief's eyes lit up immediately.

He gave a thumbs-up and praised her generously:

"Xiaoxiao, that's a good idea, a great idea."
