Seeing that his nephew had said so, Chen Hongwei only coughed lightly:
“That’s right, Wenbing is right. What I said before was a reward for one wild boar. Since you killed six, you will naturally receive six portions.”
He realized that this girl was not someone to be trifled with.
"Is that so? Won't that put you in a difficult position? Isn't this too much? If it really is a problem..."
Before Fang Yuan could finish speaking, the captain quickly replied, "Alright, you silly girl, I just didn't explain clearly. We've always allocated resources this way, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."
Chen Hongwei finally understood that among these educated youths, Fang Yuan was the biggest troublemaker.
He's already quite old; he shouldn't stoop to the level of these young people.
"Alright then, I'll accept it?" Fang Yuan asked with a smile.
You little brat, trying to steal her stuff? No way.
Unless she is willing to give it away herself, no one can take what belongs to her away.
"Alright, everyone go back first. Quickly, carry the pigs back. It's too hot. Hurry back and divide them up. Come back to work tomorrow."
After arguing with Fang Yuan, Chen Hongwei then called on the others to carry the wild boar.
Although Fang Yuan scolded him, he was still quite happy to have meat delivered to his door during the busy farming season.
"Wow, Yuanyuan, you're amazing! You actually killed six wild boars."
Zhou Jiahui happily went back with Fang Yuan.
She practically idolized Fang Yuan to death.
She missed the last time they killed a wild boar, but this time, standing in the tree, she witnessed Fang Yuan's swift and decisive skills firsthand.
A wild boar will fall to the ground within three cuts.
Not only her, but all the other older women saw it too, and they were all shocked by Fang Yuan.
When she was about to go home, she reminded her son that he should definitely not have any designs on that female educated youth.
If we actually marry her, who knows who will be in charge in the future!
"Alright, calm down. Let's go back and divide the meat, then go back to eat and rest," Fang Yuan replied with a smile.
She can finally rest openly, and she even gets meat and work points in return. It was worth all the effort she put in today.
“Yes, let’s go back and divide the meat,” Zhou Jiahui said happily.
They were mentally calculating how much fresh meat they would have to eat.
The eldest brother's ten jin (5 kg) is enough for them to eat for several days.
Yuanyuan's 30 jin (15 kg) will definitely be turned into other delicious dishes; it seems she'll have to contribute some of her savings again.
Back at the square where the brigade dried grain, the brigade leader ordered the brigade's butcher to slaughter the pig and assigned him an assistant.
It will take quite a bit of time to clean up these dozen or so pigs!
However, the meat yields at least two thousand catties, which is enough to divide among the more than one thousand people in the brigade and about two hundred households.
"Uncle, could you give us our forty pounds first?"
Seeing the largest wild boar chopped into two pieces of pork, Zhou Jiahui happily stepped forward and asked.
Wild boars have more fat, but as for the taste, Fang Yuan isn't worried at all.
"Forty pounds? How do you have so much meat?" The man slaughtering the pig paused, raising his butcher's knife.
Aren't these new educated youth? Where did they get so much meat? They probably don't have many work points.
"Sister Fang Yuan killed six pigs, and Comrade Zhou He killed two. Of course, the eight pigs will be divided into forty catties each," Zhou Jiahui said with a smug look.
"Sister Fang Yuan? A woman?"
The man slaughtering the pig looked at Fang Yuan, who was standing next to Zhou Jiahui.
A woman killed six wild boars? He could hardly believe it.
"Don't say it, it was this Fang Zhiqing who killed him. I saw it with my own eyes. Hurry up and cut off his flesh."
Aunt Liu, who came back with him, said to the man that she was still waiting to divide the meat later.
"Huh? Really? Forty catties?" The butcher looked at the team leader and the accountant to confirm.
"They killed eight wild boars, so you need to cut them forty catties of meat," the captain said helplessly.
"I've noted down Comrade Fang Yuan's 300 points and Comrade Zhou He's 100 work points!" the accountant added after scribbling on the side.
He finally understood why these educated youths weren't afraid of trouble; after all, they had the ability.
Moreover, he's really brave enough to step up when things get tough, and he no longer has any complaints about these people.
"Give the wild boar stomach to those two," Chen Wenbing said, trying to persuade Fang Yuan and the others.
Wild boars eat various wild medicinal plants over a long period of time, which causes them to develop many boils in their stomachs; the more boils they have, the better they are for their stomachs.
"Thank you, Captain Chen. Jia Hui and I will take the day off tomorrow, okay?"
Fang Yuan looked at the captain, who was wholeheartedly thinking of her, and asked again to confirm.
“Okay, you guys go back and rest. Come back when you’re rested,” Chen Wenbing nodded and said.
That girl went through so much trouble to help kill the wild boar, how can we not let her rest!
"Are you taking another break?" Chen Hongwei asked curiously after hearing Fang Yuan's words.
You've only been working here a few days? Why are you taking another day off?
"I had a really tough time hunting wild boar today. My arms are completely exhausted. I can't muster any energy without resting."
"Besides, I've earned so many work points this time, what's wrong with me taking a break?"
Fang Yuan retorted without any politeness.
"Alright, you can rest now, okay?"
Chen Hongwei has no temper left with Fang Yuan.
This girl is not only eloquent, but more importantly, she's also capable. What can he say?
"Thank you, Captain. We'll head back now."
Fang Yuan and his group happily took the meat home, and the others who had hunted wild boars also took their pork home one after another.
After the people left, Chen Hongwei picked up a worn-out megaphone and shouted:
"Our brigade hunted a lot of wild boars today. Wild boar meat can be exchanged for ten work points per pound. If you're willing, come and exchange yourself."
This was discussed with the accountant after they checked the work points and the remaining pork.
These dozen or so wild boars were mostly large wild boars weighing two to three hundred pounds each, and the meat was estimated to weigh nearly three thousand pounds.
Each member exchanged ten jin (5 kg) and still had a lot left over, so he didn't limit how much everyone could exchange.
After Fang Yuan reminded him, he decided to send the largest one to town.
So that they can get more hunting rifles so they can go up the mountain to hunt wild boars after the autumn harvest this year!
"How long have I been waiting here? Hurry up and weigh me two pounds, and remember to get the fatty kind."
Aunt Liu hurried over; she had been waiting all this time just for this piece of meat.
There are many people in her family who work, and they earn a lot of work points; they can afford to eat twenty work points.
"I want two jin too."
"I want a pound."
······
After one person started, other members also bought some meat and took it home.
The work points earned from exchanging meat weren't much, so many families that didn't lack work points but lacked meat bought some.
After Fang Yuan took the meat back, he began his recuperation period.
She took out the book she had received a few days ago, intending to take the opportunity to read it.
Her older brother and her father both sent her packages, and although her books arrived, she never had a chance to read them.
"These are all? They don't seem too difficult."
As Fang Yuan flipped through the algebra book, she discovered that she had memorized it after just one reading and even recalled her nine years of compulsory education. Was she photographic?
Thinking about it, she asked the system.
[The stronger the host's mental strength, the faster they can memorize things. Later, when their divine sense is strong enough, they will even be able to pass through walls and see through things.]
"Really? That's great." I'll definitely be able to go to university now.
Upon receiving this news, Fang Yuan's hands moved much more nimbly as he turned the pages of the book.
She plans to take advantage of this break to read through all these books first, and then review them again when she takes the college entrance exam.
