Chapter 57

On the night of returning to the pier, the long-lost gambling game started again. In just half an hour, Rock received 120 pounds. The bad gamblers on the pier were much more generous than the British.

"Hey, head, let's do a few more votes, and the brothers will be able to buy a house in Cape Town." The dividend Luo Yi received today was 5 pounds, which is almost a month's salary so easily. so easy.

"Save money well. I will lend you money when there is not enough money. After a while, we may still have a group of brothers coming over. At that time, we don't need to talk, let them see how we are living, and they will take the initiative to rely on the money. Come here." Rock has always encouraged everyone to buy houses and land, and only with assets under their names can they have the motivation to fight.

"We still have brothers coming?"

"How many brothers?"

"Do you have any sisters?"

Except for Roque, no one else knew that Cape Town wanted to hire more Huayong. After hearing Roque's words, the brothers talked a lot, and they quickly went wrong. .

"Sister—it's not impossible, but you can't let the British take care of it. If the British like it, we may not like it. Let's wait for the opportunity." Rock can't do anything about this. Henry can ask to hire more Chinese policemen. It is required to be equipped with a Chinese cook. What kind of banner should you want a woman to play?You can't hire women workers from the Qing Dynasty to wash clothes.

What's more, Rock expressed serious doubts about the mentality of the British. The reason why it is "mentality" rather than "aesthetics" is because Rock discovered that the aesthetics of Easterners is actually not far from that of Westerners. What people think is beautiful, Westerners have similar views to Easterners.

It's the same when looking at people. Rock thinks Ada is beautiful, and Henry thinks the same way. Rock thinks Phyllis is beautiful, and Henry agrees more seriously. Men are the same in this regard, and there is no huge difference in aesthetics.

So why on the Internet in the 21st century, there are many women who seriously do not conform to the aesthetics of Orientals, but are considered by the West to be oriental beauties?

Rock's conclusion is that Westerners are harboring evil intentions. They deliberately hype up women who are not considered beautiful even in the East, so as to smear the aesthetics of the Orientals, slander the image of Eastern women, and then hit the national self-confidence of the Easterners.

Maybe the British in this era are not so insidious, but Rock can't pin his hopes on the British. If there is no accident, the Chinese in Cape Town still prefer to form a family with Chinese women. Therefore, Rock doesn't want to see the future of Cape Town. All of the second-generation Chinese Americans grew up to look like Winston's father.

This is really not a curse, Winston's father is indeed ugly.

"It's not like there's no chance. Isn't Lao Liang going back to China?" Anton interrupted suddenly, and Rock was taken aback. Really, he almost forgot about it.

Lao Liang was Liang Dingxin, the translator of the former Huayong camp. When the Cape Town Police Department hired Huayong to be a policeman in Cape Town, he was worried about communication problems, so he hired Liang Dingxin along with him. Now the English level of the Chinese police has improved by leaps and bounds. , Liang Dingxin has lost its role, so Liang Dingxin is about to return to the Qing Dynasty and continue to work as an interpreter in Huayong Camp.

"Where is Lao Liang?" Rock was overjoyed, as long as Lao Liang was willing to cooperate, this problem would not be difficult to solve.

Unlike the 21st century, the end of the 80th century was a standard patriarchal society. The British wanted to hire Huayong as a policeman, and they had to continue to pay Huayong. If Huayong wanted to marry a wife from the Qing Dynasty, he could just buy it directly. It's still very cheap, [-] silver dollars each, roughly equivalent to eight British pounds, which is more than a month's salary.

"Old Liang, he's in the dormitory. We don't need him to translate now. Where else can he go if he's not in the dormitory?" Anton didn't know yet, and Rock didn't think about Lao Liang at all.

"Walk around, go back and find Lao Liang." Rock was very anxious, and solved his wife problem. He believed that most Chinese policemen would make their homes in Cape Town, so that there would be a Chinese community in Cape Town, and Rock would also With a basic disk.

In the dormitory, Liang Dingxin was indecisive, and the psychological struggle was fierce.

Roque completely forgot Liang Dingxin, but Liang Dingxin did not forget Roque. Liang Dingxin has always paid attention to Roque, the only sheriff of the Chinese police. When he was promoted to police chief, he watched Rock settle down to buy a house, and other Chinese police officers became naturalized one after another, and received a high salary of five pounds a month. It is impossible to say that Liang Dingxin is not tempted. The salary is the same as that of Chinese officials, 135 yuan per year, which is equivalent to 13.5 pounds. In Cape Town, Liang Dingxin’s salary has increased, but it is only two pounds a month. The soldiers all got five pounds, but Liang Dingxin, who was pretentious in the past, still got a salary of two pounds, which made Liang Dingxin really unwilling.

But there is no way to be reconciled. The Cape Town Police Department needs Chinese police officers and does not need Chinese translation. The reason why Liang Dingxin gets a monthly salary of two pounds is to provide services for Chinese police officers. Liang Dingxin has gradually lost its effect, so let alone five pounds a month, the existing two pounds are almost lost.

The world is getting worse, people are not old!

Faced with such a predicament, Liang Dingxin did not have the ability to break the situation like Rock, so he could only feel sad.

"Liang Tongyi, Liang Tongyi, are you in the room?" Li De's voice came from outside the door. Liang Dingxin knew that Li De was Rock's little follower, so he hurriedly got up and opened the door.

"Officer Reed, I'm here. What do you want me for?" Liang Dingxin felt aggrieved for a reason. Before the Chinese policemen started learning English, a big soldier like Li De would have nodded and bowed when he saw Liang Dingxin. Now Times have changed, and Liang Dingxin can only bear the burden of humiliation in the face of Police Officer Reed, who has been naturalized in Cape Town.

"The boss has something to do with you." Li De didn't say much, and he didn't leave after speaking. It seemed that he wanted to go back with Liang Dingxin.

A very interesting fact is that in the entire Cape Town Police Department, all Chinese police officers will only use the word "boss" when they call Rock, and all other people are called by name plus official title, such as Sergeant Henry, no, now it is Inspector Henry, or Commissioner Russell.

"Okay, okay, wait a moment, wait a moment." Liang Dingxin didn't dare to neglect, took the door and followed Li De to see Rock.

"Why does Master Luo want me?" Liang Dingxin was a little nervous, not knowing what Luo Ke wanted him for, and tried to get some words out of Li De.

"Hey, you'll know when you see the head." Li De didn't talk nonsense.Go dreaming.

 Jiageng arrived as promised, brothers, are there any recommended votes that have not been voted——
