For new immigrants, getting a farm is only the first step, and whether they can run it well depends on whether they work hard and whether God gives face.

When the colonial pioneer team first entered Area 1065, 900 kilometers away in Johannesburg, Liu Zhen's family had just arrived at Liu Zhen's farm.

Liu Zhen, a native of Suining, Shaanxi, Gansu, came to Johannesburg five years ago as a miner and then bought a 150-acre farm at the Crocodile Bay Reservoir through the Rock Gold Mine.

After buying the farm, Liu Zhen sent a telegram to his family who was still in Qingguo, hoping that the family would come to southern Africa to run the farm together.

But for some reason, Liu Zhen's family did not hear back for a long time, and it was not until the beginning of this year that Liu Zhen remitted ten pounds to his family who was still in Qingguo through the RAND Bank, and Liu Zhen's family successfully boarded the ship.

Even when he came to Johannesburg and saw Yoo Jin's farm with his own eyes, Yoo Jin's father still couldn't believe it.

"It's really my father, these 900 acres of land are mine-" Liu Zhen emphasized again, and the Boer wife next to him brought a glass of milk to Liu Zhen's father, and led the two children who had just left to kowtow to Liu Zhen's father.

Yoo Jin's father was immediately dumbfounded.

"Grandpa is good, grandma is good, uncle is good, aunt is good, third uncle is good, third aunt is good, fifth uncle is good-" Knocking down their heads, the two children didn't get any greeting gifts, and there were a lot of eyeballs that fell into eight petals.

"This-" A large area gasped neatly, and then waited for Liu Zhen to explain.

"Dad, this is my mother-in-law—" Liu Allah introduced, although his expression was frank, his heart was still apprehensive.

"Dad, my name is Zhuola—" Yoo Zhen's wife was finally able to greet her father-in-law in Chinese.

Before Liu Zhen's father could speak, Liu Zhen's mother pulled the two children to her side, and then she burst into tears, shouting "heart, liver, baby" non-stop.

The two children are still more like Liu Zhen, their hair is still black, their eyes are also black, and their skin is fairer than Liu Zhen's, but this is not a disadvantage in the eyes of Liu Zhen's mother, but an advantage.

"Dad, the hot water is ready, you can take a shower first, and then change your clothes-" Liu Zhen's wife was very thoughtful, and Liu Zhen's family was also physically and mentally exhausted after a long journey along the way.

Compared with the mental state, the health of Liu Zhen's family is more worrying, a full thirteen people, including six children, all of them are yellow and thin, and their clothes are ragged, which is in stark contrast to Liu Zhen, who is strong and well-dressed.

When he first arrived in Johannesburg, a foreigner's territory, facing Zhuola, a foreign daughter-in-law, Liu Zhen's father obviously needed a buffer stage.

But this is no problem for Liu Zhen's brothers, Liu Zhen's father and mother are bathing at home, Liu Zhen simply took a few brothers to the fish pond not far from the house, and then the brothers began to gossip.

"Second brother, do you really have 900 acres of land?"

"Second brother, where did you get so much money?"

"Second brother, didn't you rob the rich man—"

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly-" Liu Zhen simply explained his experience over the years.

And then there are more questions.

"Is that RAND Bank really that kind?"

"The boss of the RAND Bank is our lord, of course, there is interest on borrowing money, but only we Chinese can borrow money from the RAND Bank smoothly, it is very difficult for white people to borrow money, Africans can't borrow at all, this is the unique benefit that the lord gives to us Chinese——"

"How big is the lord?"

"The Viscount of the British Empire, the Minister of Defense of the Federal Government, and the Minister of Justice are placed in the Qing Kingdom, that is, the standard of one person is above ten thousand people."

"Officials are not good things, and our hometown is choked by the calamities of those officials-"

"Old Five, you can't say this, we're just at home, you dare to say that when you go out, beware of being beaten to death-"

"Second brother, then you say, the lord has given us so many benefits, what do you want us to do?" The boss was thoughtful.

"What do we have to do, there is no lord, we are just cheap, I will take you to the gold mine to see those African miners another day, you will know, it is really people who are not as good as dogs, and they are not as good as our dogs-" When Liu Zhen spoke, two sturdy South African mastiffs were also swimming in the fish pond, and there were a few South African mastiffs on the river bank that seemed to be just full moon and did not dare to go into the water, wagging their tails desperately while expressing their dissatisfaction in a childish voice.

"You dogs are really fat, make one stew and eat it at night-" The fifth child, who is not yet an adult, is obviously a little salivating.

"Don't eat dogs, we have sheep, kill a sheep to eat at night-" Liu Zhen didn't correct it, even people eat people when they were very hungry, what is it to eat a dog, the dogs in my hometown have been eaten.

"Sheep can't be killed, keep them and sell them for money-" The boss immediately corrected Liu Zhen's ruined behavior.

"Big brother, we have more than 160 sheep in our family—" Liu Zhen's words immediately startled the boss.

"More than one hundred and sixty—"

"That's a big bunch!"

"Where did it come from?" The three new brothers are 300,000 whys.

"Where else can it come from, raise it yourself, don't steal or rob, it's not our family, any farm in Johannesburg has 100 sheep, those big farms can have thousands, and you can earn 10,000 rand a year just by selling wool." Liu Zhen is telling the truth, and the three new brothers are skeptical.

"Not all of them are rich people—"

If you want to say you don't believe it, Liu Zhen's farm is here, and if you want to believe it-

It's unbelievable!

"According to our hometown, this Johannesburg is indeed a rich man, and when my farm is busy, I must hire more than a dozen Africans to help, otherwise the work will not be finished at all." Liu Zhen is still proud, he doesn't steal or rob and saves such a big family business in a few years, and everyone is proud.

"Liu Laocai on the dog day, when you sent the telegram, Liu Laocai had to say that you were deceived by the Nanyang people, this is to trick our family to go to Nanyang as a long-term worker, if you didn't send a hundred oceans, my father and mother would not dare to come, his dog's day Liu Laocai wanted us to carry a lifetime of long-term work-" Liu Laocai scolded, if this kind of thing was not for the money, the Liu family really couldn't believe it.

Even if the liar sets up a bureau, he will not spend such a large amount of money, and now in the Qing Kingdom, the Liu family has one and counts one, and if they really want to sell it, they really can't sell it for a hundred oceans.

"What about the iron eggs and dogs?" It was only then that Yoo Jin remembered his childhood friend.

"Tie Dan Niang starved to death the year before last, Tie Dan went to the city to carry the work, now the ghost knows where, the dog is still in the village to carry the work for Liu Laocai, married the daughter of the Liu family in the east of the village, gave birth to four children in four years and only kept one, the daughter-in-law has been crazy all day long, the hair of the person in his twenties is all white, before we leave, I asked him if he wanted to come together, his own mother Lao Tzu is still alive, don't dare-" Boss Liu's expression was gloomy, there may be no chance to meet in this life.

"It's okay, I'll go back next year, bring all the people in the village out, and let Liu Laocai go to farm by himself." Liu Zhen's eyes were red, the newspapers in Johannesburg often reported the news of Qing Guo, Liu Zhen knew that the situation in Qing Guo was very bad, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.

"There are few people in the village now, when you left, there were more than two hundred people in the village, and now there are only one hundred and ten people left, Liu Laocai's life is not easy, these years are either drought or flooding, the harvest in the field is not good, Liu Laocai's family was robbed by thieves during the New Year, his wife and daughter were robbed by bandits, and when people redeemed them, their stomachs were big, and they didn't know if it was the bandit's species-" Liu Laoda smiled bitterly, the wrinkles on his head were half a finger deep, in fact, he was not even thirty years old, and he was almost old.

It's not bad to be alive at last.

took a shower and changed into clean clothes, although the clothes were a little worn, the Liu family was still overjoyed, in the words of Boss Liu, they had lived for most of their lives and wore clothes without patches for the first time.

When I got home, Zhuo La had already prepared dinner, and Liu Zhen's mother and Liu Boss's wife were very embarrassed, because there were many things in the kitchen that two women who had cooked all their lives would not use, so they couldn't help much, and basically this meal was handled by Zhuo La alone.

However, this also effectively shortened the distance between Zhuo La, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and when Liu Zhen came back, several women were already talking and laughing, only Old Man Liu was nowhere to be seen.

"Over there in the cowshed, I've been planting all my life, and I haven't even raised a cow, so I can't afford it—" Liu Zhen's mother said with red eyes.

When he came to the cowshed, sure enough, Old Man Liu was wiping his tears.

There are more than 20 Angus cattle in the cowshed, there are four horses and two mixed-breed horses in the stable, one horse has a big belly, and there are more than 100 sheep in the sheepfold next to it.

Now this is all his own, Liu Laocai has been a landlord all his life, and he has not saved so many belongings.

"Dad, there will be more and more land in our family, and there will be more and more livestock, and you won't be able to count them when the time comes-" Liu Zhen was full of confidence in the future.

"Okay, good—" Old man Liu could only cry, he had never dreamed of such a scene.

In the eyes of the Liu family, even the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of the old rich family has never been so rich.

Zora did want to kill the sheep, but was resolutely stopped by Yoo Jin's mother and sister-in-law, and then Zora killed two chickens and stewed a pot full of potatoes and corn.

In addition to the chickens, there are fish and various eggs on the table, as well as beef that the Liu family has only heard of but has never eaten, and a large pot of freshly boiled milk, which makes the children salivate.

Although the meals are sumptuous, they are not eaten casually, and the Johannesburg City Government has repeatedly reminded that people who have been malnourished for a long time cannot eat and fish at the first time, otherwise tragedy will occur.

There have been many such tragedies in Johannesburg, and these are the lessons learned from blood and tears.
