After the captain finished speaking, everyone dispersed. Chu Tian, ​​Chu Min and others walked back together. Chu Ren turned around and asked Chu Tian.

"Xiao Shi, how is the meat distributed in this brigade?"

Chu Tian smiled and explained, "Every family can use work points to buy it, but at first each family is only allowed to buy two kilograms at most, and they can't choose. They just cut a piece and take it away. Of course, if there is any leftover, everyone can continue to exchange it for work points."

There is no way. Pigs nowadays are not big. They are not like the pigs in a few decades that will weigh two or three hundred kilograms. Pigs nowadays can grow to one hundred and forty or fifty kilograms, which means they are well fed. If they grow to about one hundred and eighty kilograms, they are considered to be particularly successful.

The educated youth following Chu Tian and his group stopped when they heard this. After several months of farm work, the dozen or so educated youth had become much calmer and were not as noisy as before.

"Brother Chu Tian just said that each family can only buy two kilograms at most. So how do we calculate it for the educated youth camp?"

A female educated youth spoke first. There was nothing they could do. They were so greedy for meat that they didn't have meat coupons even if they wanted to buy it. They raised a few chickens at the educated youth camp, but they wanted to keep them for laying eggs and were reluctant to slaughter them for food.

"Can't we just buy two kilograms? There are more than a dozen of us. How are we going to eat two kilograms of meat?"

"Ah? Two kilograms is not enough? We have to have one kilogram per person, right?"

"One jin? What are you dreaming about? How many jins does a pig weigh? And how many households are there in this brigade? Do you know?"

"Then you say..."

Just as the educated youth were chattering and speculating, Li Jianmin interrupted them and said, "Let's not speculate. I think it would be better to ask the team leader."

When everyone heard this, they all agreed and turned around to walk back.

"What are you trying to do?"

Captain Sun looked at the educated youth who were coming back in a rage, his brow furrowed. He wondered if this was going to end. They'd just been quiet for a few months, and now they were going to cause trouble again?

Li Jianmin saw that Captain Sun had misunderstood, so he stepped forward to explain, "Captain, we're not causing trouble. We just want to ask if we, the educated youth, can get a share of the meat when it's distributed."

Captain Sun replied in confusion, "Your household registration is already in our brigade, how could we not give you a share?"

Everyone was delighted when they heard this, and someone immediately spoke up, "Then, how do we divide it?"

Captain Sun pointed at Accountant Xu beside him and said, "Accountant Xu and I were just discussing how you were going to divide it! If we only give you two kilograms, you will definitely not be happy. After all, we are not family..."

Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, Captain Sun continued, "I know you've all been working very hard since the busy farming season began, and you've barely taken any leave. So, we've decided that each of you can exchange your work points for half a pound of meat. This is actually much more cost-effective than just sharing two pounds of meat with the whole family."

"This is a special reward for your good performance in recent months."

"Thank you, Captain!"

Everyone was surprised to hear this and thanked him one after another. Half a pound of meat, one person can eat half a pound of meat, just like what the captain said, it is really a great deal...

Captain Sun looked at the educated youths, all of whom were filled with joy. His lips curled up slightly with satisfaction as he continued to encourage them, "Work hard. After the autumn harvest, we'll distribute the meat!"

Everyone's eyes lit up instantly, and they shouted in a loud voice, "Captain, we will do our best!"

Looking at the group of enthusiastic educated youths chattering as they walked back, Accountant Xu couldn't help but laugh, "Captain, these educated youths are quite obedient to you now..."

Captain Sun smiled and said, "If you want the horses to run, they must first be well fed! What are they lacking now? Meat! Want meat? Sure, work hard and I'll share some meat with them!"

After a pause, he continued, "Actually, those children are quite pitiful. They've left their families and come to this desolate Northwest. As long as they don't cause trouble, we should take better care of them..."

Accountant Xu nodded thoughtfully, paused, and then said, "Team Leader, do you still remember the educated youth named Song Jiao who worked in our team?"

Captain Sun nodded as he walked back. "Yes, I know. Didn't she say that I was targeting her? The educated youth at the educated youth center were also targeting her. Did she feel that she couldn't stay in our brigade anymore and went to another brigade? I think the director of the educated youth office reassigned her to the first brigade of our company. What happened to her?"

Accountant Xu said with a bad face, "She, she is with the second son of Captain Liang from the First Brigade..."

Captain Sun paused, looking at Accountant Xu in disbelief. "What do you mean? What do you mean you're with Captain Liang's second son? I remember his second son was married, and he seems to have a child now, right?"

Accountant Xu had a look of astonishment on his face. "She's divorced. Not long after she joined the First Brigade, she started getting involved with Captain Liang's second son. Not long ago, he found out she was pregnant, so he divorced his wife..."

Captain Sun, "..."

Accountant Xu sighed. "His second son is actually a nice guy, and his wife is also nice. She's well-known for her abilities in the brigade. After divorcing him, she couldn't go back to her parents' home, which was thousands of kilometers away. She didn't want to see that couple at home, so she immediately separated her household registration and lived alone with her several-month-old daughter in an empty dugout in the brigade..."

"Captain Liang felt sorry for his second daughter-in-law and was also angry with his second son and Song Jiao, so he kicked them out that same day. They ended up living in an empty house next to the cowshed near the educated youth site..."

Captain Sun said, "How can Old Liang manage his son? If this were my family's patriotism, I would break their legs!"

Accountant Xu, “…”

Although it wasn't very kind, Captain Sun still felt extremely fortunate and continued, "It's a good thing she left, otherwise who knows what would have happened to that member of our team..."

Accountant Xu rubbed his forehead helplessly, thinking that if she hadn't left yet, maybe the one she fell in love with was not Baoguo or Weiguo...

Chu Tian and Yao Xiujuan stood in line at the back, looking outside the brigade headquarters. The butcher was skillfully cutting up the pork.

Yao Xiujuan stood on tiptoe and looked forward, "Brother Tian, ​​I wonder what kind of meat we can get..."

Chu Tian looked at the meat being divided up in front of him and raised his eyebrows. "Just take whatever piece is divided up. Didn't I say you can't pick and choose?"

After a pause, he leaned closer to Yao Xiujuan and whispered, "Besides, is our family still short of meat?"

Yao Xiujuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Yes, Brother Tian is right."

Chu Tian hooked his lips, "So, let them grab it, we'll wait until the end to take it, and we can also see if we can buy some bones or something. I think Xinxin likes to chew bones..."

Yao Xiujuan nodded, "It would be nice to buy some ribs or bones. You can make soup with them to make rice or dumpling soup..."
