Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1462 Kindness
When Rock came to Johannesburg, Johannesburg was just a small town built on the hillside, with messy shacks scattered on the barren hillside, and black kids running around with bare buttocks everywhere, without even a decent road , the police station initially rented a hotel to work.

Now Johannesburg is already one of the largest cities in southern Africa. Thanks to the tax revenue from the Rand Gold Mine, Johannesburg's fiscal revenue is second to none among all cities in southern Africa.

With money, there will naturally be more funds for urban construction. In just 20 years, Johannesburg has undergone earth-shaking changes. Whether it is urban infrastructure or municipal appearance, it can be called the first-class in southern Africa.

The textile factory, which has been renamed Textile Group, is located in the southwest corner of Johannesburg. There are 10 employees, and the total number of family members must exceed 40. This is the population size of a first-class city in southern Africa today. The total population of Johannesburg is only [-].

Bai Di is a female worker in a textile group. Her job is to take care of the spinning machine. Ten years ago, Bai Di came to Johannesburg with her family and got married and had children in Johannesburg. She and her husband Leo both work in the textile factory. Leo It is the security guard of the textile factory.

The textile factory in Johannesburg adopts a three-shift system, with people and machines working non-stop. With hard work, Betty and Leo can earn 35 rand a month together, which allows the Betty family to live a dignified life in Johannesburg.

The so-called dignity means that Betty can afford the staff apartment built by the textile factory, that her children can receive education in public schools, that she can have money to go to the hospital for treatment when she is sick, and that she can enjoy one month of paid vacation every year.

The benefits of the Johannesburg Textile Group are still very good, thanks to the high salary and high benefits of the Textile Group. Apart from setting aside a small part of the profits of the Textile Group for expanded reproduction, most of the profits will be shared with all employees. Sharing, the textile group has 50 employees, and the monthly salary and welfare expenses are as high as [-] rand. There are many large enterprises in southern Africa. Only the textile group can do this.

Betty and Leo are lucky this month, they both get off work day shifts and can commute together.

After a day's work, Betty and Leo went home together. The employee's apartment was less than two kilometers away from the textile factory. This journey was the most relaxing moment for Betty every day.

However, Betty is not in a good mood today. There are rumors that the textile group is about to relocate. Some people say that the textile factory will be relocated to the desert area in the south of Dias, while others say that the textile factory will be relocated to a certain place in the Southern African Union. In the dependent countries, some people say that the textile factories should be moved to India because the workers in India are cheaper.

"No matter which one it is, it is not a good thing for us." Leo was worried and did not want to leave Johannesburg.

But it doesn’t matter if you don’t leave, if the factory really wants to move, Leo and Betty still have to go with the factory.

The textile factory is a chemical enterprise, and the pollution is really serious. There is a small river beside the road that Leo and Betty often take to and from work. There is no grass on both sides of the river. The river is dark green all the year round, and it emits a pungent smell every summer. , Sometimes white foam will pile up the entire river.

It is no wonder that the Johannesburg city government wants the factory to move. For Johannesburg, the textile factory has become a headache.

"Don't worry, Madam won't leave us alone." Betty has confidence in Phyllis. In southern Africa, if you don't add the title of title, just saying "Lord" refers to Roque, and "Madam" is naturally Fei Lisi. Alice.

If it was in person, even if Adelaide or Kitchener saw Phyllis, they would respect "Mrs. Nyasaland".

Without Felice, the tens of thousands of workers and their families in the textile group would not be able to enjoy the current life. Therefore, Felice has a very high status in the eyes of the textile factory workers, which is also the source of Betty's confidence.

"My lady is in Nyasaland, I'm afraid she has already forgotten about our textile group—" Leo didn't complain, but panicked inside.

"How can you say that!" Betty was furious and did not allow Leo to slander Phyllis: "Madam will definitely not ignore it. Everything we have now is given by Madam. You should be grateful."

"That's not what I meant. Of course I'm grateful. I'm just worried. My wife is concerned about state affairs every day. I'm afraid she won't be able to take care of ordinary people like us—" Leo looked worried. He must be grateful to Phyllis, but There must be worries.

When passing by the market, Leo and Betty bought some vegetables and fruits. Chicken and eggs are still in the refrigerator. Vegetables and fruits must be fresh.

Don't be surprised, there were refrigerators in 1922, and the world's first domestic refrigerator appeared in 1879.

Most of the household refrigerators sold in the southern African market are produced by Rhodesia Electric Appliances and Nyasaland Electric Appliances. You can tell who the owners of these two companies are by their names.

In this era when most household refrigerators are still using flammable, corrosive, or irritating ether, ammonia, or sulfuric acid as refrigerants, refrigerators in southern Africa have begun to use safe, non-toxic, non-corrosive, Using nonflammable freon as a refrigerant, Rhodesia Electric and Nyasaran Electric sold a total of 50 household refrigerators last year. The products not only sold well in southern Africa, but also exported to Europe and the United States in short supply.

"If the factory is relocated to the desert, can we still buy fresh and cheap vegetables? Not to mention moving to West Africa or Congo, I don't want to work with those Africans." Leo babbled while paying, The prices in southern Africa are indeed very cheap. A bag full of vegetables and fruits costs only 40 cents, which is roughly equivalent to 0.1 rand.

"Leo, don't worry, even if the factory is moved to the moon, I will go with the factory." The owner of the shop selling vegetables and fruits is familiar with the Leo and his wife, and the wife of the shop owner also works in the textile group.

"It's a good idea!" Leo laughed loudly. If the factory is moved to the moon, then it can really be considered.

After returning home, the couple started to cook dinner, which was also a rare time for Bai Di's family to get together.

The textile group provides working meals, and the public schools where the children study also provide nutritious meals. The family can only get together at night, so the dinner at Bai Di's family has always been very rich.

Today is the weekend, and the eldest daughter who is studying at Bigwein Public School will also go home. Betty fried a tilapia from Nyasaland, and half a chicken is stewed in the casserole next to it. Leo can only cook vegetables Salad, bake some bread by the way, make applesauce, a hearty dinner freshly baked.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the children arrived home one after another, and the three-bedroom house suddenly became lively.

Betty and Leo have a total of four children, two sons and two daughters. The eldest daughter, Tia, will graduate from high school this year with excellent grades and is eligible to be admitted to Johannesburg Medical School, but Tia insists on applying for Nyasaland University. This has always been her ideal.

Unlike Tia, who has excellent grades, Betty's eldest son, William, does not have good grades. He is studying at the High School Attached to the Textile Mill. The High School is still a top-ranked school in Johannesburg, and the teaching quality is at least better than public schools in Johannesburg.

William also has ideals, and his ideal is Nyasaland Army Academy.

Before dinner, Betty would check the children's study as usual.

Tia's grades were as good as ever, and she was awarded by Bigwig School in the past exam. The prize was a hero pen produced by Eternal.

Sorry, not a hero, but a hero——

William got into trouble again at school. He broke the glass in the classroom while playing football, and was criticized by the teacher. Not to mention, Leo will go to school tomorrow to compensate for the damage.

The youngest son and youngest daughter don't speak. Both of them are still in elementary school, and their grades are not bad, not as good as Tia, and not as bad as William.

"Okay, okay, it's time for dinner, let the children have a warm table time, can we talk about the study after dinner?" Leo played the role of a loving father at home.

"Okay, let's eat first, William, and figure out what kind of posture to use to get beaten!" Betty was very strict with the children, and being beaten was commonplace.

"If you hit me again, I will tell the school teacher that you are domestic violence—" William has reached the age of knowing how to fight for his rights.

"Don't worry, I won't beat up to the extent of domestic violence." Bai Di sneered, she had already gained experience in beating children.

"The teacher at the school said that the Textile Group is going to relocate?" Tia also heard similar discussions in Bigwig Public School. The teachers of Bigwig Public School are relatively well informed.

"Don't worry, we will be together no matter what, and the family is neat and tidy." Leo didn't know that this sentence was ambiguous, and jokes were not popular these days.

Bai Di served chicken soup for the children, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

The children have reached a sensible age, and Bai Di does not want to affect the growth of the children because of these things.

Considering the children's education, Betty secretly made up her mind that if the factory really wanted to move to the desert, one of Betty and Leo would resign and stay in Johannesburg to take care of the children.

Compared with work, children's education is obviously more important, which is now deeply rooted in southern Africa.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with moving to Rustenburg. I have classmates who are from Rustenburg. It's a nice place, and it's not far from Bigwig City." Tia's words surprised Betty and Leo.

"Rustenburg? Isn't it the desert in Dias State?" Betty asked. Compared with the barren desert, Rustenburg is still acceptable.

"Mom, you and Dad really should go out for a while, the desert in Dias State is also being treated, and how could the Lord and Madam move the factory to the desert, they are so kind—" Tia has been purple Wei Public School is thoroughly brainwashed, and Rock's kindness is only in southern Africa.
