By the time Zhao Youcai and Wang Qiang were heading home, Zhao Jun had already returned to Yong'an Village in a truck.
Upon entering the village, the truck drove directly to the front of Zhao Jun's house.
It wasn't even five-thirty yet, so work at the Forest Farm hadn't ended. The next-door neighbors, Li Dayong and Li Baoyu, weren't back either. Zhao Jun first returned the eleven dogs to their respective houses, then called for Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei to come out and help butcher the wild boars.
Then, he, Zhang Yuanmin, and Jie Chen worked together to drag the sow down from the truck.
"Mom," Zhao Jun said to Wang Meilan, "you and Auntie can start butchering it. Pick out some of the good meat and set it aside for Brother Zhang's family. As for the rest, we'll figure out how to divide it up."
"Alright, you got it," Wang Meilan replied. But when she saw four more small wild boars in the truck bed, she asked in surprise, "Son, you got this many?"
