"Xiyue, everything is okay, nothing happened."
Aunt Yang Liu was calling Ning Xiyue from a distance. Behind her were the team leader, Uncle An Guo, and three young and strong men from the team who were pushing a cart carrying food.
"Nothing happened, aunt, don't worry, I'm fine." Ning Xiyue patted the dust off her butt and stood up, then greeted the newcomer: "Captain, Uncle An Guo."
"Hurry up and load the pigs onto the truck, then go back and kill them and divide the meat." The captain was in high spirits when he saw the two wild boars lying on the ground. He then looked at Ning Xiyue and smiled cheerfully, "Yue Wa, you did a great job. I'll give you a credit."
Ning Xiyue waved to the captain, still with a friendly smile on her face, but what she said was serious about fighting for her own interests.
"Captain, I heard from the aunt in the team that if you catch a big game in the mountains, you can keep half for yourself, and the other half goes to the team. I looked at the two wild boars. The big one is estimated to be 250 to 260 kilograms, and the small one is estimated to be 200 kilograms. I'll take the small one for myself and leave the big one to the team so that everyone in the team can have a bite of meat."
He thought that the flesh that belonged to her could be wiped out with just one sentence. It was a nice thought. Ning Xiyue could eat anything without suffering any loss.
The smile on the captain's face faded a little. That was the meat of a pig!
Three strong young men: Who said that?
The others pricked up their ears to listen to the captain's answer, because this was related to how much meat everyone could get. If only one was left in the team, everyone would get less meat.
Aunt Yang Liu nudged her old man with her hand to remind him.
She didn't care what these grown men were thinking. No one knew how scared and desperate she was when the wild boar pounced in front of her and she felt the boar's heavy breath on her face. If it weren't for Xiyue, she would have been killed by this big wild boar long ago. She would definitely die here today.
After surviving the disaster, she vowed to treat Xiyue like her own daughter. This was a great favor of saving her life, and she had no way to repay her.
"Of course, Xiyue girl, don't worry, you can have that big wild boar if you want it. It was you who killed it. If it weren't for you, my aunt would be dead today, and the pig would have run away. No one would be able to eat it."
The more Aunt Yang Liu spoke, the more she felt that she was right and that what she said was correct.
"Yes, that's what we'll do. You take the bigger pig and give it to the smaller one in the team. We can eat the meat for free without spending any money or effort. If that doesn't satisfy us, then no one can eat it. Just throw the pig back into the mountains, let it return to nature and the collective. That way, everyone will be satisfied. We won't be undermining the government, and there won't be any arguments."
Aunt Yang Liu glanced at everyone present and continued loudly, "Anyone who bullies our Xiyue doesn't take the county public security bureau seriously. Xiyue is a good comrade who has even been praised by public security officers."
Ning Xiyue simply loved Aunt Yang Liu to death. After she said this, everyone present who coveted her pork did not dare to say it out loud, especially the young men, whose eyes became more restrained.
"Aunt, I'll still take the smaller one, and the extra part of the larger one will be given to you. You are also one of the heroes who killed the wild boar this time, so you should get some meat." Ning Xiyue said to Aunt Yang Liu with a smile.
"Yeah, that's fine too."
Aunt Yang Liu nodded, thinking that if she had the extra portion, she could pass it on to Xiyue girl, and Xiyue girl would not suffer any loss.
Zhang Dawei smiled helplessly. His wife had said so, but he still disagreed. The first slap would be on the face of his wife, the second would be on the face of the public security comrade, and the third would make Ning Xiyue feel disappointed.
The team's advanced collective award still depends on Ning Xiyue's certificate to support it.
When Aunt Yang Liu winked at the captain again, Zhang Dawei cleared his throat.
"Ahem, then I'd like to thank you, Yuewazi, on behalf of all the other members of the team. Once you're taken back and the butcher on the team takes care of it, you can take it with you. What to do with your portion is your problem, and the team has nothing to do with it."
"Old Zhao, please keep a record of the account when the time comes."
"good."
Zhao Anguo agreed and was even more impressed with the new educated youth from Ning. He admired her not only for her courage to stand up and fight for her own interests, but also for her ability to make friends.
When Aunt Yang Liu heard this answer, she gave the captain a good look, smiled with satisfaction, and then gave Ning Xiyue a look that said, "It's done."
Ning Xiyue silently thanked Aunt Yang Liu.
The other three young men who came along felt a little disappointed that they couldn't get more meat, but they didn't dare to stand up and object, so they could only carry the pig silently.
People with a good attitude think that it is not bad to be able to get a bite of meat, which is better than having nothing.
After the matter was settled, the captain smiled again and directed everyone.
"That's settled then. Everyone, hurry up and put the pig away. Tie it up tightly with ropes to prevent it from falling to the ground along the way. Be quick, and we'll bring it back and divide the meat so we can have a good meal tonight."
Seeing the pork in their hands, everyone's faces were filled with smiles again, and they happily rushed to the team.
The road was difficult to walk on, so two people pulled the cart in front, two people pushed it from the back, and one person stood on the side of the cart to protect it.
Ning Xiyue and Aunt Yang Liu continued to carry their backpacks and walked in front.
When they arrived at the big willow tree at the entrance of the brigade, most of the team members were already standing there looking forward to it. When they saw them pushing the pigs back, their faces were full of joy.
They were all talking.
"Here they come, they're back."
An aunt was surprised and delighted: "They really are big wild boars! Wow, two of them! This young educated youth Ning and Yang Liu are really strong. They killed the wild boars without a single wound on their bodies."
"That's right. A few years ago, someone from the neighboring team encountered a wild boar. He was lucky enough to escape, but he lost an arm. He was still a grown man."
After hearing this, Aunt Yang Liu said proudly, as if praising herself: "What do you know? We Xiyue are educated people with smart brains. We rely on our brains to hunt wild boars. We hit them with every hit. Only brute force is foolish."
Ning Xiyue, who killed the wild boar by brute force: Aunt, thank you so much!
"That's amazing, Yang Liu, Xiao Ning, the educated youth. Can you tell us about the wild boar hunting process? It must be very exciting."
"Exactly. Look at these two wild boars. They're really big. It must have taken a lot of effort. These are all meat."
Ning Xiyue pointed at the two pigs and said, "Aunt, it's important to kill the pigs and divide the meat."
Aunt Liu, the intelligence chief of their drying group, said, "Right, right, dividing the meat is important. Let's go to the brigade and watch the pig slaughtering while chatting. But you must explain the process to us in detail."
A group of people, lively and bustling, surrounded Ning Xiyue and the others, as well as the wild boar in the middle, and walked towards the dam outside the brigade office.
