Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 1090 Slaughtering the Pig, Eating the Meat!

It was the 28th day of the lunar year, just as dawn was breaking.

Yang Congxuan got out of bed and quickly washed up.

She turned around and saw that her son had already gotten up.

"Zhenye, your school is on holiday, why are you up so early?"

"Dad, I want to study. After breakfast, I want to help out in the loading and unloading workshop. The teacher at school said that the workers have a holiday during the year-end season, but the loading and unloading workshop does not. We students can go and help out. Not only will we get paid, but it will also be good training."

Yang Congxuan smiled and said, "Then you have to be careful. That job is not easy. Don't let it stunt your growth."

Yang Zhenye jumped up and down on the ground. "Dad, I'm growing really fast!"

Yang Congxuan then realized that his son had grown quite a bit taller in the past few months, probably because the food at the construction site was good.

Emerging from the wooden shack, Yang Congxuan wrapped his clothes tightly around himself, his breath steaming in the air, and headed towards the canteen.

Although work has stopped and people are on holiday, there are still quite a few people outside. Most people go to the canteen for breakfast first, and then go out from the living area. Those with wives and children take their families for a stroll, while single men can only wander around by themselves.

Fortunately, a market had spontaneously formed outside the living area. The vendors knew that the workers had money, so they brought all sorts of things to sell, including food, drinks, toys, and household items.

There are also many young women from nearby villages—if they could marry a worker at the port construction site, they would be the envy of everyone!

Lifting the cotton curtain of the canteen, a wave of heat mixed with the aroma of food wafted out. Yang Congxuan subconsciously sniffed twice before walking inside.

"Brother Yang, Brother Yang!"

Yang Congxuan squinted, carefully examining the body. "Oh, it's Erwa!"

He walked over and greeted Zhou Erwa. Seeing that Zhou Erwa had changed into a new outfit, he couldn't help but laugh and say, "What, are you going out for a stroll?"

Zhou Erwa was a little embarrassed and blushed as he said, "Brother Yang, our loading and unloading team received a bonus. I did a good job and they even gave me a set of clothes. I'm on duty tomorrow for the New Year, so I'm taking today off. I was thinking of going to the market outside."

Yang Congxuan looked at him with a smile: "Erwa, you're over twenty now, right? It's time to find a wife!"

Zhou Erwa's face turned even redder. Yang Congxuan went to get his food, ate quickly, and then headed towards the first group of the wooden houses.

As the year draws to a close, the atmosphere here is rather somber.

Many people are still adjusting and have not been assigned specific jobs. They are crammed into simple wooden houses with so many strangers. The closer it gets to the Lunar New Year, the stronger the longing for their hometown and relatives becomes.

I heard that the night before last, a young man remembered his deceased parents and cried loudly in the night. When he cried, many people started crying too, and it almost caused a disturbance.

This morning, everyone lined up on time.

"Alright, everyone, right face, starting with Fan Daniu!"

"Look forward!"

"Brothers, we're all family here. I know you're all feeling a bit down these days because the New Year is almost here. There was a huge disaster back home. So many people couldn't escape, so many starved to death on the road, and so many were killed in accidents. But as I said before, it's a blessing that you're all here. Since you've survived, let's live well!"

"These few days before the Lunar New Year, many workers are on holiday, which is exactly our opportunity. You can get to experience more different jobs. If you want to learn a skill, then you must perform well these few days. If you are good at physical labor, then you must not slack off these few days! This morning, I saw Zhou Erwa again. Guess what? The young man is now wearing a brand new set of clothes and is on his way to find a wife!"

"I remember what many of you looked like when you came here. You were skin and bones, and your hair would fall out in clumps. Some of you were so swollen that your flesh was shiny. But look at you now! Not to mention that you all have rosy complexions, how much better is the food and drink you get at home?"

"I'm telling you all, there are other arrangements from above to ensure you have a good New Year. Just keep working hard, and good days will surely come!"

Subsequently, these prospective workers, led by Yang Congxuan, went to complete their respective tasks.

Yang Congxuan said in the morning that there were other arrangements made above, which he had heard from Captain Yan.

He himself did not expect that this "arrangement" would come so quickly.

When everyone returned home in the evening, they found that the wooden plank area had suddenly changed.

Red lanterns were hung in many places, and several stoves were set up in the small square.

A head chef in a canteen is sharpening knives with a dozen or so apprentices, while several pigs are tied up nearby!

A giant white pig that no one has ever seen before!

These refugees, who had been destitute just a month or two ago, suddenly erupted in jubilation!

"My God! Is this a pig? Why is it white?"

"This pig is so fat! I used to raise pigs for a rich man back in my hometown. I cut pig feed every day and fed them peanut cakes. I've never seen one this fat before!"

"Is this pig for us?"

"What are you thinking? This is meat, and fat too. How precious is fat? Back in our hometown, if you can get a pig's leg, the grain you can exchange for it is enough to get a wife!"

"Then why are they slaughtering pigs here?"

"If we can't eat meat, they might give us some offal. Actually, pig's blood is a good thing. I know a traveling doctor who says that pig's blood is good for replenishing deficiencies."

"Even if it's under the water, it'll still be meat! Just wash it a few times to remove the odor from the organs!"

"What does offal taste like? I've never even eaten offal before!"

Before long, the group of people came over from a distance.

Yang Congxuan squinted and carefully examined it, then his hair stood on end!

The man who kept saying this on the right front was none other than Zhou Xuejin, the person in charge of the port construction site.

He was still half a step behind. The person next to him was dressed in a black uniform and wore a cloak. He was very tall, but his proportions were very well-balanced. His long legs moved powerfully, and his cloak fluttered slightly in the wind.

This is...this must be Master Lin!

As the group approached, Zhou Xuejin explained to Lin Ze, "This area of ​​wooden houses is the transit zone. The people living here are divided into several groups, and each group has a leader."

He then looked around, and the person behind him immediately added, "The one standing over there is Yang Congxuan, the leader of Group One. He is also from a refugee background, but he can write and calculate, and he has even joined the auxiliary management bureau!"

Zhou Xuejin walked over with Lin Ze, who smiled and said, "Team Leader Yang, refugee work is not easy. If we do it well, we can provide the construction site with a steady stream of high-quality labor. If we do it poorly, it could cause a lot of trouble. You have a heavy responsibility. Thank you for your hard work!"

As he spoke, he took the initiative to shake hands with Yang Congxuan.

Yang Congxuan's legs trembled, and he bit his tongue hard before saying excitedly, "Commander Lin! I'm not afraid of heavy responsibilities, I'm only afraid of not doing a good job. Please rest assured, I will do my best until I die!"

Lin Ze laughed and said, "There's no need to be so serious. We're just here to see everyone and give you some New Year's gifts."

Zhou Xuejin added, "These pigs are for your prefabricated housing area. Everyone hasn't officially started work yet and doesn't receive a salary. Although the canteen provides meals, it's just enough to fill your stomachs. It's almost Chinese New Year, so we should at least give everyone a treat!"

People nearby heard this, and it spread like ripples on water.

By the end, the entire area was in an uproar!

Slaughter the pig, eat the meat!
