After dividing the rewards he received from the Expeditionary Force Command, Anton also has a net worth of more than 200 pounds.

This money includes the part of the commando that sold the captured war horses to the Cape Colonial Government. All the money is aboveboard, and Anton can spend it as he wants. Anton's family has boarded the ship from the Far East and will arrive soon. Cape Town, so Anton urgently needs to buy a house and house his family.

This problem is easy to solve. After Henry moved into Rock's house, he never went back to his own house, so Anton bought Henry's house for only 150 pounds, which was cheaper than the auction price. It was half sold and half given away. .

Of course, this was because of Rock's appearance. In front of Henry, Anton didn't have such a big face.

For the Chinese, settling down is a big deal. Because there are Henry and Phyllis in Rock's home, Rock didn't bother. Anton couldn't save it. After buying the house, almost all the Chinese policemen who were not on duty were Go to Anton's house to help, and everyone will work together, and soon the whole house will be completely new.

In fact, this house is still very good. The base is made of white marble, and the wood is more than one foot thick. The walls in the room are decorated with wallpaper, and the floor is teak, which is known as the "king of all trees". All of them are pure natural, and it takes five to sixty years to mature.

"This house is not bad. You and your sister-in-law live downstairs, and the children live in the attic. In a few days, buy some paint to paint the exterior walls, and then take care of the lawn in front of and behind the house. I'm sure my sister-in-law is satisfied." Rock is also quite satisfied. , this house may not be outstanding in Cape Town, but compared with Anton's home in Qing Dynasty, it is a world of difference——

Anton had already married in the Qing Dynasty, had his own wife and children, and had his own house. Of course, the quality of the house must not be too good. It was two thatched houses with adobe walls. Compared with the current house, it is not for people to live in. .

"Satisfied, satisfied, if you are not satisfied, you will be struck by lightning." Anton was full of emotions. Although Rock had painted cakes for Anton, Anton never dreamed that this day would come so soon.

"I'll go back and buy some sets of quilts, some clothes for my sister-in-law and children, and some jewelry for my sister-in-law. You are also a sheriff now, so you have to look like a sheriff." Rock thought carefully, jewelry or something Maybe it's not needed now, but it will definitely be used in the future. When Anton's wife and children arrive in Cape Town, Rock will invite Anton's family to his house for dinner, and then it will come in handy.

"Buy, buy everything. My wife married me and hasn't worn a new dress for a day. After the children were born, she couldn't even eat enough to eat—" Anton's eyes were flushed. Compared with the past, life now is a paradise. .

"It will be better in the future. Let's settle down first. I will think of a way in a few days. If possible, let's buy a farm or a vineyard near Cape Town. When the time comes, we can plant the land if we want. When you plant the land, you graze, and when you harvest the grapes, you can still make wine. On such a day, the gods will not change it." Rock began to paint cakes again——

It is no longer a picture. What Rock said before is gradually becoming a reality. A few months ago, Rock and Anton were both "temporary workers". Now Rock and Anton have been naturalized in Cape Town. Settling down in Cape Town, who can tell in the future.

"Mr. An, you didn't say anything about this house. There is still a way." Luo Yi also came to help. He doesn't have the idea of ​​being on duty now. It's an inspector, who has left the front-line work.

"If it wasn't for your foolishness, you could still settle down in Cape Town, maybe we could still be neighbors, is it a loss?" Anton sprinkled salt on Luo Yi's wound, this is the fate of disobedience.

"Oh, it's all my fault that I was deceived by lard. The head helped me buy a piece of land on Mill Street. I plan to build a house by myself and become a neighbor." Luo Yi was not very sad, but rather happy.

Compared with Government Street, Mill Street is still relatively remote, plus the famous "Haunted House", so housing prices and land prices are very cheap. Henry was the first to start, and bought a large piece of vacant land near Rock's house early on. , To build a more luxurious house than Rock's house.

With Henry and Rock moving in, the potential of Mill Street is visible to the naked eye, but others have not noticed this yet, so during the time back to Cape Town, Rock bought a lot of vacant land near his home, We are planning to build a house for the Chinese policemen. Maybe Mill Street will become the home of the Cape Town Police in the future. If that happens, among other things, law and order will be fine. If someone dares to go to Mill Street to make trouble, hey, every household is police, Both men, women and children can use guns, and that scene——

Sour!

"Hehe, your boy is a blessing in disguise." Anton said this sincerely.

In fact, Anton is not jealous, because Rock has promised Anton the vacant land opposite Rock's house, and Anton is also planning to build the house, and then sell this set to buy it, perfect!

"I'm so blessed, that boy Reed is really blessed." Luo Yi also has someone to be jealous of.

Li De is Rock's little follower, and Rock will naturally not treat him badly. Not only did Rock buy land for Li De, but even the workers were found by Rock. Now the construction has started, faster than Henry.

Henry's house needs to be designed by someone. Reed's requirements are not that high, as long as he can live in it, so Rock asked Zach to find a few Boers and start construction. The foreman is Christian. Rock believes that Christian will definitely Can guarantee the quality.

Christian is Rock's informant. As a native Boer, Christian has a lot of acquaintances in Cape Town. It is not easy to find a few construction workers, and the wages are very cheap, as long as five per person per day. Penny, which in Cape Town, can also buy three eggs.

This is the living situation of the Boers during the British colonial period. Although the Boers are also white, in the Cape, the situation of the Boers is not much better than that of the blacks.

"Reed has the blessing of Reed, you have yours, and you won't suffer if you hold your thighs tightly." Anton said, Luo Yi and other Chinese policemen nodded repeatedly. This is indeed the case. If there is no Rock, I also bought a house and land, I am afraid that everyone is still receiving a monthly salary of 1.2 pounds, which is not much more than those construction workers.

"Hehe, Anton, I don't have anything to give you when you move to a new house. I'll give you some clothes for the child." Luo Ke didn't forget to follow suit, and the red envelope was not small.

"Head—" Anton still wanted to decline.

"Take it, take it, our brothers have taken root in Cape Town, don't be polite, if you don't take it, will you take it when the brothers move out?" Rock put Anton up. , There is no reason to take back the money sent out.

　The elusive Gagen is here——
