The smiling woman's name was Sophia, and her husband was a Belgian soldier who died during the German invasion of Belgium.

After the 2nd Cavalry Division captured Antwerp, Sophia went to the 2nd Cavalry Division to apply for female workers, and became acquainted with Qinling after coming and going, and then secretly fell in love.

There are many such situations in Antwerp, don't think that white women don't look down on Chinese men now, there is no such thing at all, after the end of the world war in another time and space, there are about 3,000 Chinese workers who did not return to the Far East and stayed in France to settle down, and their wives are all white French.

After the end of the First World War, about 2 million women in Britain became widows, and it was hot for men to die too much, so you can imagine how popular men were at that time.

Chinese men do not have to be inferior, measured by the performance of Belgian men, Chinese men are a hundred times stronger than them, at least Chinese men do not drink too much, do not beat their wives, and will give their salaries to women to subsidize the family, which has already destroyed most white men.

Even among the Chinese officers and soldiers, Qin Ling was very good, as one of the best snipers of the 2nd Cavalry Division, Qin Ling's benefits at Christmas were very enviable, in addition to two turkeys and four kilograms of beef, including twelve boxes of canned food, two bottles of wine, ten packs of cigarettes, four apples, a bunch of bananas, two fish, a large piece of bacon, and a whole case of coffee and a bag of sugar.

Coffee and sugar were specially requested by Sophia, Sophia's parents and siblings were also in Antwerp, their lives were very stressful, and Sophia was going to cook a hearty dinner at home for Christmas, and Qin Ling would attend as the male host of this "temporary family".

"Is it enough? If it's not enough, I can go and ask for some more, I have vouchers and redemption tickets, which I can buy at the military service. "Qin Ling is an orphan, no relatives in southern Africa, ten years ago Luo Ke began to look for these orphans from the Qing State to bring to southern Africa to raise, Qin Ling was educated in southern Africa, after graduating from high school, he did not pass the grades and was not admitted to the University of Nyasaland, and then entered the umbrella company to work, and joined the Southern African Expeditionary Force after the outbreak of the world war.

During the World War, the War Department stopped cash and switched to vouchers or exchange tickets to offset them, in terms of purchasing power, vouchers and exchange tickets are stronger than the purchasing power of the pound and the rand, so the officers and soldiers are happy to use vouchers and exchange tickets.

A pound of beef now sells for £1.5 on the black market, but only about £1 at the Service, and some people buy supplies from the Service, and then resell them, and the Servicemen knows about that, but they don't interfere.

This was also one of the benefits of the officers and men of the British expeditionary force.

"Enough, it's already very rich, I bought some palm oil and bread at the military service club in the morning, and a lot of potatoes, we shouldn't be able to eat them, I want to share some with my brother and sister, there are more people in their family, my brother came to me yesterday, and there is nothing to eat at home." Sophia was cautious, through this period of communication, Sophia already knew Qin Ling's status in the second cavalry division, although Qin Ling's rank was only sergeant, but Qin Ling received more benefits than a second lieutenant.

"Yes, you can do it, if it's not enough, I can get some." Qin Ling respected Sophia's family and did not find fault with Sophia just because she was a widow.

"Awesome dear, thank you-" Sophia ignored her greasy hands, rushed over and hugged Qin Ling, and kissed Qin Ling on the face loudly.

"Qin Ling, are you there?" Suddenly there was the sound of a car outside the door.

Qin Ling walked out of the door and was Qin Ling's top boss, Second Lieutenant Gao Shan.

(Thanks to the Gao Duolei brothers for providing the name, brothers, you don't know how much headache I have-)

"Ensign, what's the matter?"

"The enterprise federation came to condole, a big gift package per person, we even came out with 11 more, I sent you one, and added two bottles of wine to you, if it is not enough, go back to Yasuo, you have a week of vacation, enjoy life." Gao Shan motioned for Qin Ling to go to the back seat and move by himself.

Qin Ling opened the car door, and there were more than a dozen of the same boxes.

"Thank you, second lieutenant, I'll be back after New Year's Day." Qinling smiled, the enterprise federation has always been very generous, and every year it has a big gift package.

Back in the living room, I opened the gift bag, in addition to four bottles of wine and ten packs of cigarettes, there was also a radio made in southern Africa and a matching battery.

Qin Ling looked at the manual, put the battery on the opening knob, and after a piercing prickly pull, a sweet female voice came out of the radio: Brothers and sisters who are fighting in Europe, I wish you a Merry Christmas, your family in southern Africa looks forward to your early victorious return, you are our pride-

Qin Ling's eyes were suddenly filled with tears.

Sophia leaned against the kitchen door, still peeling potatoes in her hands, holding up the voice coming from the radio, her mouth subconsciously repeating: "Southern Africa-Nyasaland-Victory-Glory-"

Even by Qinling's standards, Christmas Eve dinner was very sumptuous, roasted golden and mouth-watering turkey, thin as cicada wings fragrant sauce beef, more than a dozen boxes of opened canned food of various flavors, no one had a hot salted egg, the largest goose egg was reserved for the children, the slightly larger duck eggs belonged to the women, Qin Ling and his cheap old man Garcia only had one egg each.

Enough is enough, the war is still going on, and having such a hearty dinner is enough to make people reminisce for a long time.

Qin Ling got a lot of wine back from the logistics department, and Qin Ling also had to drink with Garcia at Christmas, Qin Ling simply opened the bottle of precious Oak Town wine, and did not forget to introduce it when he poured it for Garcia.

"This is a wine from Oak Town, Cape Town, and it is produced in limited quantities each year, and it was still available on the market a few years ago, but now it is sold in limited quantities—"

The scarlet wine was poured into the crystal clear goblet and the color was attractive, and the women were also ready to move, Qin Ling simply handed the bottle to Sophia, but was snatched back by Garcia: "There is still a lot of wine, why don't you open another bottle-"

"You are so annoying, old man!" Sophia's mother immediately became irritable.

"Dad, you don't see that Qin didn't say anything-" Sophia's sister was also dissatisfied.

Sophia's sister-in-law didn't speak, but judging by her expression, she also wanted to taste what Oaktown's wine tasted like.

Only the children don't know anything, they are all busy eating.

Sophia's brother has two children, Sophia's sister has not yet married [Bayi Chinese.com www.81zw.xyz], Sophia herself has no children, and his brother is still serving in the army and cannot come back for Christmas.

"It's not all the same." Garcia didn't want to hand over the bottle, but he was embarrassed to look at Qin Ling, who was smiling, so he muttered very quietly.

"Actually, it's all about the same, it's just because the generals like the wine of Oak Town that it's expensive-" Qin Ling had a little headache, and he knew that he wouldn't take it out at all.

"Since the generals like it, it must be good wine, what do these women know, let them and be a tyrannical thing." Garcia held the bottle and didn't let go.

Actually, it's really not, Qin Ling wants to explain, but he doesn't know where to start.

"Dad, please don't do this, this is the wine that Qin brought back, and he has the right to distribute it." Sophia resolutely supports Qinling, and the girl is really outgoing.

"I'm your father, this is what Qin Xiaojing gave me-" Garcia still wanted to resist.

"Bring it, damn old man—" Sophia's mother was so tough that she snatched the bottle from Garcia's arms.

"Neurotic!" Garcia was angry, but didn't dare to make a move.

"Don't be angry, if you like it, I'll get you another bottle tomorrow." Qin Ling had to promise, otherwise this meal would definitely not be good.

"Hahahaha, that's great, I knew you were a good guy-" Garcia happily raised his glass to Qin Ling.

Dinner finally went on as normal, and the women tasted the wines from Oak Town, which they thought were of better quality than French champagnes.

This is a complete illusion, wine and champagne are two different things, champagne is sparkling wine, wine is still wine, the difference is as big as Wang Laoji and Coca-Cola.

The two children have a big dispute over the ownership of the last goose egg, and the elder brother thinks that it should be given to Grandpa and Qin Ling, because they are the only two adult men in the family.

My sister thinks that it should be given to my grandmother, mother, and aunt, because they have to take care of the family harder.

Sophia's mother was drunk with a glass of wine, and Sophia's sister-in-law wept secretly, worried about her husband, who was still fighting in France.

Sophia took advantage of her drunkenness to make a rare request to Qin Ling, hoping that Qin Ling could help send her family to southern Africa.

"I'm not leaving, I'll accompany you in Antwerp, I'll go wherever you go, but I'm worried about my parents, mom and kids—" Sophia was still cautious, this was the first time she had made a request to Qin Ling.

"Sophia, what nonsense are you talking about? Dad will never leave you, Dad will always protect you-" Garcia is getting stronger and stronger, while his chest is thumping, he looks at Qin Ling's eyes cautiously: "Of course, if you can, it's best to send your mother and little Tony Little Channy to southern Africa, I heard that children in southern Africa can get an education, they can go to university in the future, and they should have a better future." ”

"Old man, what nonsense are you talking about, our family will never be separated together-" Sophia's mother didn't drink much, and she was still very sober at the critical time.

Sophia's sister-in-law didn't speak, and her eyes looking at Qin Ling were obviously full of hope.

Sophia's sister didn't speak, but her eyes looking at Qin Ling were also full of expectation, Southern Africa is the legendary paradise and paradise, and everyone yearns for it.
