951 Workers who escaped

Workers imported from India are still strictly in accordance with the regulations of southern Africa, and the labor agreement with southern Africa will never exceed four years.

This means that these workers will have to return to India after four years of work in southern Africa, thus using the Indian labour force but not accepting Indians into southern Africa.

According to official federal statistics, at least 2 million Indians came to southern Africa during the world war to work in factories and farms, effectively filling the labor gap caused by the large number of southern Africans participating in the world war.

After the annexation of South-West Africa and Tanganyika, the labor shortage in southern Africa was even more severe, and Qinling had to leave relevant information first, and it would be at least a month before new workers could arrive in Tanganyika.

At that time, Qin Ling and Sophia should have gone to Los Angeles.

A month at night is not much of a problem, Qin Ling's salary is enough to support the whole family, and the two old people on the farm really don't spend much.

"In two years, we will bring my father and mother to Los Angeles, and my father and mother are old, and it is more convenient for them to live in Los Angeles with medical care and everything, and the farm will be contracted to an agricultural company, and they can make a lot of money a year." In fact, Qinling is now like letting the old couple go to Los Angeles, but Garcia disagrees.

Garcia really loves this leisurely life of fishing and hunting, and city life seems to be nothing good in Garcia's opinion, at least fishing is not as convenient as here.

And the harvest is definitely not as good as here, Garcia doesn't want to leave because Lake Victoria is rich in tilapia, this kind of fish is delicate, fresh and delicious, and there are few fish bones, no small intermuscular spines, whether it is braised or steamed, the taste is very good.

Of course, tilapia is not only found in Lake Victoria, but also in the whole of Africa, and with the development of Lake Victoria by South African companies, it will not be difficult to eat tilapia in Lake Victoria in Los Angeles in the near future.

"In less than two years, now Dad doesn't want to go to Los Angeles because we are all together, and when we go to Los Angeles, Mom estimates that it will be over soon, and Dad will let him take care of the house alone if he wants to be here." Sophia is really ruthless, now a few children are the lifeblood of the old couple, take the children away and don't be afraid that the old couple will not follow them to Los Angeles.

After returning home, Sophia and Qin Ling's lavish spending was complained by the old couple, but when it was time to try on the clothes, the old couple was very happy again, Sophia did not tell the old couple the true price of the shoes, otherwise it is estimated that the old couple would complain more.

Of course, dinner is still indispensable to Garcia's freshly caught tilapia, making fish is actually very simple, after cleaning up, pour the seasoning and steam it directly on the pot, the deliciousness of the fish itself is enough to meet the needs of the taste buds, steam one and stew another, if this is lunch, Qinling can eat three bowls in one meal.

Of course, they have to eat less for dinner, Qin Ling and Garcia have to have a drink to cheer up, and the topic is of course inseparable from life after arriving in Los Angeles.

"The newly bought house is next to Lake Niasa, you can see the invincible lake view when you open the window, and after Sophia and Katy arrive in Los Angeles, I will buy a car, so that it is very convenient to go anywhere, in fact, you and your mother will not be lonely when you go to Los Angeles, Lake Niassa can also fish, and whitebait is more delicious than tilapia, not to mention that after we are all gone, only the two of you are here, we are really not at ease." Qinling actively does Garcia's ideological work, everyone yearns for big cities, Los Angeles has a trend of developing into a super city, it is still very convenient to go to Los Angeles now, and it will become more and more difficult in the future.

"You go, the two of us will stay on the farm to look after the family, and how much money can we make by contracting the farm to the agricultural company, and our more than 300 acres of rubber trees will cost more than 100 pounds a year to cut rubber at will." Garcia is reluctant to take the profits of the farm, but if there is a profit, he must be able to cut the rubber out, and now there are no workers, so he can only look at the rubber trees.

The "mu" here is acres, and 300 acres is converted to 1,800 acres, so the profit is really huge.

The key is that these farms are all freehold property rights, as long as Qinling does not sell the farm, the farm will always belong to Qinling, which is a wealth that can be passed on forever.

"That's right, now that life is just a little better, you are extravagant, you pick and choose when you eat, and you go to the store in the town to buy clothes, and the dress I made for you, aren't you also very happy when you wear it." Sophia's mother helped, and the last sentence was addressed to Sophia.

"Mom, I didn't have a choice at that time, so I could only wear what to wear-" Sophia now knows that it is different to marry a capable husband.

No, it should be said that it is different to have a stomach.

"Do you mean the clothes I make don't look good?" The old lady said that she was very angry, this is considered to be married and forgot her mother.

"It's pretty, but the clothes in the store look better, right, Tony?" Sophia knew that she was looking for reinforcements, and today Sophia just bought Tony a new set of clothes, small leather shoes with round toes, a cotton Henry shirt, corduroy bib pants, and a small baseball cap, Tony was so happy that he was reluctant to wear the baseball cap.

"Aunt Sophia is right-" Tony took a firm stance, and sure enough, he was short of his mouth and short of his hands.

"You little traitor, I fed you up with a handful of things." The old lady didn't choose what to say, but the meaning was probably the same.

Uh-

Except for the old lady, everyone at the table dislikes it, and this sentence tastes a bit big.

After dinner, Qin Ling and Garcia went out hunting with flashlights, and in Garcia's words, they tried to see if the gun Qin Ling had just bought would work.

In fact, Garcia mostly enjoyed his time with Qin Ling, Qin Ling did not refuse Garcia's proposal, and did not forget to bring a pistol while bringing a shotgun, and brought six strong hunting dogs when he went out.

The hounds were probably a little too excited about this kind of night activity, but the prey was scared away by the barking of the hounds, and Qin Ling and Garcia wandered outside for more than an hour, and they didn't encounter a single prey.

"It would be a mistake to bring the hounds out, it should be just the two of us who came out, at least not for nothing like we are now." Garcia was a little depressed, and he didn't want to think about the possibility that a flashlight would scare his prey away.

"Just go out for a walk after dinner, it doesn't matter if there is prey or not, the key is safety first." Qinling is not depressed, it doesn't matter if you can get the prey or not, anyway, you don't rely on this to eat, although there are already many farms around Lake Victoria, but it is still vast and sparsely populated, there are crocodiles in Lake Victoria, and they are the most dangerous Nile crocodiles, so you should be careful when you come out at night.

"Hahahaha, you're a sniper who killed hundreds of people, are you so cowardly?" Garcia laughed at Qin Ling's caution, he didn't know that it was precisely because of this caution that Qin Ling could become a sniper of this level.

The precision shooters in the Southern African Expeditionary Force must have exceeded 10,000, among so many people, there are very few snipers at the level of Qinling, and the most important thing for snipers is to be cautious, and the stupid and bold ones are all killed early, and they have no chance to survive until the end of the war.

"Prudence and cowardice are two different things, I have lived until the end of the war, and it would be really unjust if I came out at night and was hit by a wildebeest and died." Qin Ling is not angry, it is normal for the father-in-law to bully his son-in-law, and he turned back to Sophia for revenge.

"Let's go, let's go back-" Garcia didn't know how much happiness his bad behavior would bring to his daughter, whether he would go home and sleep if he couldn't catch his prey, or whether it would be more efficient to fish, as long as he shot it, he would get a reward.

On the way home, passing through a wood, several hounds suddenly barked wildly at the woods.

Before Garcia could react, Qin Ling directly pushed the bullet into the load.

Qin Ling was carrying a shotgun, and it was useless to bring a rifle at night, it was too far away to see clearly.

"There's prey!" Garcia also became excited, and put the double-barreled shotgun in his hand and prepared to search the woods.

"Don't go in—" Qin Ling stopped Garcia in time, and Lin Mo entered the old man.

"You see the dog barks so fiercely, there must be prey in the woods." Garcia also thought that Qin Ling hadn't noticed the dog's abnormality.

"I know, but the dog just barks, so we can't go in." Qinling is indeed cautious, in case there are large wild animals in the woods, then Qinling really can't guarantee Garcia's safety.

It's better in the wilderness, Qinling's reaction speed is fast, as long as wild animals appear, Qinling can shoot in advance, plus with the help of hunting dogs, there is no problem in safety.

It's different in the woods, in case of a sudden attack by wild animals, Qin Ling can't guarantee that he can retreat with his whole body, let alone Garcia, who is already in his sixties.

Garcia was a little depressed, but still respected Qin Ling's opinion.

Just when Qin Ling was about to go back with Garcia, Qin Ling's flashlight inadvertently swept over several people.

It is indeed a person, and it is also a local African, when the Qinling flashlight swept over several people, these Africans were kneeling at the edge of the woods, if it weren't for Qinling's eyesight 8.0, Qinling really couldn't have noticed.

"Who are you?" Qin Ling didn't come closer, and shouted loudly with a flashlight from a distance.

Several Africans did not speak, kneeling on the ground and raising their hands with expressions of trepidation.

"I remember, when the patrol came to patrol in the afternoon, it was said that there were a few workers in the mine who had escaped, and these Africans should have been the workers who had escaped—" Garcia said with the muzzle of his gun pointed at several Africans.

"Get up, follow me-" Qin Ling didn't talk nonsense, he kicked up a few Africans in the past and lined up, took them back to the farm and detained them first, and handed them over to the patrol team tomorrow.

"We happen to be short of a few workers on our farm." Garcia thought a little too much, and didn't want to think that these people could escape in the mine, and it was not easier to escape on the farm.

"No, you can't ask for this kind of worker, you have to hand it over to the patrol team." Qin Ling is sober, strangers who are unknown should not go home casually.
