"Wesley!"

Once again, Amicia woke up in a nightmare. She dreamed of her husband again, and dreamed that he died on the battlefield.

Thinking of her husband whose whereabouts were unknown, just as tears fell from Amicia's eyes, her daughter's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Mom, I'm so hungry..."

Seeing the yearning eyes of her young daughter, Amicia said with a smile.

"Baby, when it's dawn, mother will go buy milk, okay? I will make you full by then, can you sleep for a while?"

"Well, okay, I will sleep well."

Seeing her daughter fall asleep again, Amicia thought to herself.

"Be sure to find a job today!"

Only by finding a job can she support her daughter.

……

Even though the blockade of the city is over, the lives of ordinary people are not easy. Although most shops in the city have reopened, the daily necessities of ordinary citizens are still extremely short. When you buy something, you will always be rejected by the merchant.

"Sarnto swept away all the silver pesos from the banks, the bankers ran away, and paper money is waste paper!"

Of course, it’s not all waste paper, at least the “Nanhua Coupons” are not. The Nanhua Coupons paid by soldiers when shopping are as hard currency as silver pesos and other gold and silver coins in Buenos Aires, because Nanhua Coupons can be designated by the government. Food, cloth, and various other necessities of life were purchased from various suppliers. Although those products were basically produced in Nanhua, no one had the capital to choose at this time.

At the same time, in front of the closed doors of government-run, private and foreign banks, groups of citizens who could not get money or change silver coins wandered in confusion and despair. Some of them were well-dressed, some were in shabby clothes , but what is certain is that now they are all facing the same dilemma-no money!

The rich man with a pile of bank notes in his arms is like an ordinary person, wearing a hat, staring blankly at the South China soldiers eating barbecue and drinking corn whiskey, but they themselves are hungry.

For the citizens of Buenos Aires, every Nanhua soldier is a treasury for walking. In order to keep their families from going hungry, people will take out woolen coats, pocket watches and other commodities at home. It seems that they are also very interested. A woolen coat that is [-]% to [-]% new usually only sells for one or two yuan.The same is true for pocket watches, that is, jewelry such as gold rings and necklaces can sell for a little price, but merchants will desperately lower the price. "Deville Silver" jewelry worth tens of pesos can only be sold for a few silver pesos or a few dollars. Yuan Nanhua coupons.

"I just want a job."

Alicia put her messy hair to her ears, her stomach was empty, she was hungry, thinking as she walked.

Her husband is a captain, and she lives a life without any worries, but what now?She suffers from hunger, and so does her daughter. In the past month or so, she has sacrificed everything to make ends meet.

But now that she was penniless, she could no longer afford bread. Thinking of her young daughter calling "Mom" when she was hungry, she felt heartbroken, and once again cast her gaze forward and walked along the sidewalk.Soon she smelled the pungent smell of cheap corn whiskey, and there were quite a few women around the park who were very showy and scantily dressed, wearing brightly colored and extremely revealing dresses, and although it was morning, they were all the same. They looked half-drunk and half-awake, without exception, their arms were holding soldiers in green uniforms, and most of the soldiers were the same.

Among the group of people, Alicia saw a woman with long black hair draped over her shoulders in a mess.

It's actually her!

It was Cosette. She was the major's wife in her early thirties, but now?Leaning on the South China soldier and laughing wildly, with her skirt and shoulders off, she looks even more slutty than the most slutty prostitute. Who would have thought that she was once a high-ranking major's wife?
In Buenos Aires, many military wives have lost their livelihoods. In order to maintain the livelihood of their families, they can only do what they despised most in the past. Of course, some people will go to find an officer or soldier. Becoming his regular lover is actually exchanging his body for food for himself and his family.

Cosette saw Alicia, and her beautiful and slightly blurred eyes were looking directly at Alicia, as if she was there to seduce her.

"Come on, come on, as long as you let go of your reserve, you will be able to eat enough, and your daughter will be able to drink milk, as long as..."

As long as I pass by, there will be something to eat. When I walked towards Cosette in a fascinated way, Alicia saw a restaurant with a long queue at the door across the street. The soldiers lined up outside spoke words she couldn't understand, and the small tables inside and outside the restaurant were full of guests without exception, all of them were Nanhua soldiers.A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties was busy there, and he even limped when he walked.

He must have hired someone!

Without thinking about it, Alicia walked straight over, looking at the middle-aged boss who was busy cutting meat and serving soup, she said.

"Do you need to hire someone to help?"

"What do you say?"

Lai Zi, who was a little dizzy from being so busy, couldn't understand what the foreign lady said at all.

Although Lai Zi came to Nanhua a few years ago.But he had been working on railroad sites before.His leg was broken three years ago when the tunnel collapsed while digging it.

After his legs healed, he became a useless person.But the company did not dislike him, but arranged a very easy job for him.

But Lai Zi didn't want to be supported by the company for nothing like a useless person. This war gave him some opportunities.A month ago, he resigned from the construction site and opened a beef soup restaurant here relying on the skills he learned from helping the cook in his hometown.

Buenos Aires is very big, but there is no Huaxia restaurant. In addition to the food in the barracks, the soldiers can only go to the restaurant opened by the locals if they want to eat something. After seeing this, Lai Zi opened this Lai Zi The beef soup immediately attracted many soldiers, and people lined up to visit this small shop every day.

Although he is very busy, Lai Zi feels that this is his life.It's so boring to be supported by the company for nothing like a useless person.

"You bitch, don't stand in the way..."

Lai Zi said in a rough voice.

"I can, I can..."

Alicia gestured for the bowl, even took the initiative to clean up the table, and then looked at the boss flatteringly.

Seeing this, Lai Zi understood that this foreign woman was here to do some work, and he was originally too busy, but he actually planned to find someone, but he couldn't speak Spanish, which was good, and someone would come to find him.

"Then you can do it here first!"

Despite the language barrier, Alicia still understood that the other party gave her a chance. In the following time, she was busy in the store, cleaning the table and washing the dishes. Although she was always busy, after a busy day, To her surprise, the short and fat boss in front of her not only gave her a salary of 2 cents, but also gave her a piece of beef.Then he said to the woman.

"Take the meat back to your family. If you want to work, come here early tomorrow."

Early the next morning, before the store opened, Alicia came to the store, and when the store opened, she smiled at the boss and said.

"I am coming."

"Um,"

Lai Zi nodded, and then said.

"Do it here from now on."

In the following days, Alicia has been busy in the store, but only half a month later, she learned to speak a few simple Chinese.Lai Zi was even able to say a few simple words.
