Every day, no matter how busy they are, the Chinese police officers will take time to visit Li De's house, which is under construction.

Although it was Li De's home, in the eyes of the Chinese police, it was hope.

Settle down in Cape Town and give your family hope for a good life.

For this reason, many Chinese police officers will even go to the construction site to help when they are off duty, seeing Li De's home being built little by little, the Chinese police officers are happy in their eyes, and in the future, their homes will be built little by little, and Li De today will be them tomorrow.

The progress is indeed fast, even if Roque does not emphasize, Christian does not dare to be lazy, more than a dozen workers are urged by Christian like a spinning top and cannot stop for a moment, and when Li De's house is completed, there are more houses waiting for Christian Them, if it is not for Roque to ask for quality, there are not too many qualified construction workers for a while, Christian can't wait to start multiple construction sites at the same time.

Unlike Anton and Luo Yi, who have become sheriffs, Li De is still a police officer and does not have much savings, including the bonus during this period, all of Li De's money adds up to less than 100 pounds.

This money is definitely not enough to buy a house, but it is enough to build a house, all the building materials that Li De needs to build a house are purchased by Roque, and Roque does not go to those big building material dealers, only small builders, and tries to select Boers, so Roque can get a high discount, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed, no one dares to cheat with Roque.

Although Li De has not yet started a family and does not have high requirements for the house, Li De still listened to Roque's advice on the foundation of the house and chose to use white marble to build a house on such a marble base.

The wood used in the construction of the house, Li De does not have too high requirements, the main materials are the eucalyptus and pine trees that are abundant in Cape Town, the price is cheap, the quality is reliable, although the house after the completion is not as strong and durable as all the marble structures, but the construction period is short, the cost is cheap, and it is also acceptable.

The wooden structure of the house, the construction speed is indeed fast, the wood is simply treated, the mortise and tenon structure is spliced together, and then the steel nails are used to reinforce, if you want to spell how long, you can spell how long, several pieces of such a good "wall" are combined together, the overall structure of the house is all completed, and the people who pay attention to the point will also paint the outside of the wall, Li De chose white, after brushing, it looks from a distance, and the marble building is actually no different.

Interior decoration is easier to do, there are also professional workers in this regard, Li De determined the wallpaper and flooring, all handed over to the workers to deal with, full of calculations, less than ten days, a house on the ground.

"This house is so beautiful! I knew that I wasn't in such a hurry and built my own. Anton regretted a little after visiting Li De's house.

It is indeed beautiful, all the exterior walls are white, including the steps and porches in front of the door, the craftsmanship of the workers is still very good, the gaps in the wood splicing, all covered by paint, the whole house looks integrated, the inside and outside are new, such a house has exceeded Anton's understanding of the house, in Roque's words to describe it as a "fairy tale world".

The decoration in the room is also eye-catching, the beige wallpaper and the dark brown floor complement each other, there are a few fabric sofas in the living room, full of warm family atmosphere, there is not much furniture in the bedroom except for a bed and a wardrobe, even the bedding has not had time to buy, the room is filled with the fresh smell of logs, the floor is so clean that people can't bear to step on it, everyone wants such a house, even Henry is amazed.

"Reed, go back and buy two shotguns, hang them on the wall as decorations, buy a vase, buy a few decorative paintings, and your house will lack a hostess." Roque was busy coming up with ideas, of course, the role of buying a shotgun is not only to decorate, but also to cultivate the martial spirit of the family while protecting the family, as for decorative paintings, they are everywhere, as long as it is not the kind of bare-assed woman who scratches her head and poses it.

Well, that should be described as "body art", but from the perspective of traditional Chinese, it is a violation of customs, and it is estimated that Li De may not be able to accept it.

"Hehe, I'll buy it when I get back." Li De has been sleepwalking since he entered the room, and now Li De has not accepted this fact.

"Reed, good luck guy!"

"Reed, how much did it cost to build a house?"

"It's indispensable, a hundred pounds is not enough."

More Chinese police can't wait, Li De's house has been completed, Luo Yi's house is mostly completed, and more Chinese Americans are thinking about their own property, smashing pots and selling iron to build the house.

"It cost less than eighty pounds, mainly for the head, and the stone and wood used to build the house didn't cost much, otherwise a hundred pounds would certainly not be enough." Li De told the truth, and his gratitude to Roque was overflowing.

In fact, compared with building materials, the most expensive thing to build a house is labor, but who makes the wages of the Boers cheap now, more than a dozen workers, 5 pence per person per day, only three or four shillings a day, Li De put on a police uniform and went to the dock to hang around, and the filial piety collected is more than that, it is so easy to settle down in Cape Town, but all the Chinese police officers have not thought about it before.

"Head, when Luo Ye's house is finished, mine will almost be able to start, right?" The anxious Chinese police have already begun to line up, and they must start early, God knows if the price of building materials will increase tomorrow, as for whether the money is enough?

That's not a problem, there are so many Chinese policemen, it's always enough to get together, with Roque here, can you be afraid that you won't be able to make money?

"If you want to build a house, line up here in Reed, don't worry about running out of places, there are more places on Mill Street." Roque now does not have to go to great lengths to tempt Chinese police officers to naturalize, after returning from Kimberley, almost all the second batch of Chinese police officers have completed naturalization, and more Chinese police officers sent telegrams to their hometowns, hoping that their families can immigrate to Cape Town as soon as possible, how good it is for the family to reunite in Cape Town, and not worry about food and clothing, which is 10,000 times better than staying in Qingguo and starving and freezing days.

In fact, they have not yet realized that what is more difficult than starvation and cold is the wars in the next few decades, and they would rather be peaceful dogs than troubled people, and look at what kind of life the Boers are living now, and they will know what kind of life the Qing Chinese will live in the next few decades, and compared with the Qing country, Cape Town can really be regarded as a paradise.
