There is only one female staff member in the Southern African Office in Makae, Li Qing.
Coincidentally, in the Rhodesia Hotel, the only girl who is about the same age as Li Qing is Chen Jing.
So in just two days, Li Qing and Chen Jing became good friends, and Chen Jing simply moved into Li Qing's room to live together.
"Isn't this good?" Chennault was a little uneasy after knowing it, but seeing Chen Jing's expression, he was very excited.
"Sister Qing asked me to move there." Chen Jing tried her best to explain, but did not forget to add: "I also want to live with Sister Qing."
Only kind-hearted people would say this last sentence.
After all, Chennault has been affected by living in Brazil for many years.
After dinner, Chennault announced his decision and asked the children for their opinions.
Look, no matter how democratic they look on the outside, they are still Chinese at heart.
It’s already been decided, why do you still need to ask for the children’s opinions?
"Great, I want to go to southern Africa." Chennault's youngest son was the first to raise his hand.
"Why?" Chennault had a pleasant face and was always patient with the children.
"You can serve as a soldier in southern Africa!" Chennault's face turned dark immediately after his youngest son's words. A good man should not be a soldier.
"Being a soldier will prevent you from being bullied and protect your family!" What the younger son said immediately comforted Chennault. This reason was acceptable.
"There are many Chinese in southern Africa." The second son's words were more profound. In Brazil, Chinese are a standard ethnic minority.
As for the bitterness of ethnic minorities, just look at Greenwood in the United States.
"I want to go to Nyasaland to study," Chen Jing expressed herself bravely.
Chennault suddenly looked at him differently. He didn't even know where Nyasaland was.
But it sounds like a nice name.
Oh, by the way, there is a movie called "Nyasaland". There is also a cinema in Macae, and Chennault took the children to see it.
This can explain why Chennault suddenly had a strong desire to immigrate to southern Africa.
Who doesn't want to live in such a powerful country?
In the past, for the Chennault family, such a country only existed in movies.
Now it is so within reach.
"Can girls also study?" My second son loves reading, so much so that he wears glasses at a young age. This is not right, as his eyes still need to be protected.
"Okay, Sister Qing is a graduate of Nyasaland Army Academy." Chen Jing's words immediately made the three brothers say "Wow" at the same time.
Girls can read.
And you can also go to the military academy. Every boy has a dream in his heart to fight on the battlefield.
"Why should you go to the Army Academy? Girls should support their husbands and raise children." Chennault's wife had an opinion. Didn't she agree that the war would make women go away?
"Girls in southern Africa can study in military academies, but they can only study some auxiliary majors. Female students are not admitted to combat-related subjects." Chen Jing was a little regretful, but Chennault and his wife were a little relieved.
As long as it has nothing to do with fighting.
"If we immigrate to southern Africa, we may have to live a hard life for a while. I don't know if my skills will be useful in southern Africa." Chennault might as well change his name to Chen Anxie.
"Don't worry, people in southern Africa also need to wear clothes. You are the best tailor in Macae, and the mayor asks you to make custom clothes." Chennault's wife has confidence in her husband.
"Dad, you will always be my hero!" The younger son admired his father infinitely.
"I have grown up and can find a job to support the family." The eldest son is responsible. He and Chen Jing actually help in Chennault's tailor shop, inheriting the father's business.
"I can also work." Chen Jing raised her little white hand.
"I can also sew and mend." Chennault's wife is not just a housewife. She has been married to Chennault for so many years, and her tailoring skills are not inferior to Chennault's.
Then it is a happy decision. As long as the family works together, no matter when and where they are, they will live happily.
maybe.
No matter how hard an individual works, it still depends on whether the environment will give him a chance.
At least in Brazil, the efforts of the Chennault family cannot guarantee the happiness of the Chennault family.
Hicks feels the same way.
In fact, around the time the Chennault family moved to the Rhodesia Hotel, the situation in Macae became increasingly tense.
Yesterday afternoon, several government soldiers were wandering the street across from Hicks' home.
Hicks was standing behind the second-floor balcony window, holding his Winchester shotgun tightly in his hand, feeling increasingly nervous.
Although government soldiers did not attempt to break into Hicks' home.
However, Hicks could sense something unusual in the malicious eyes of the government soldiers.
Those government soldiers looked at the American flag hanging in front of Hicks' house. Their eyes no longer had the fear of the past, but they became more and more unscrupulous and their behavior became more and more excessive.
Even when those government soldiers left, a government soldier casually visited under the big tree opposite Hicks' house. This was an act that would never have happened in the past.
When Thelma came back from grocery shopping in the morning, she brought back bad news for Hicks.
"There are fewer and fewer people in the market, and the prices of meat and eggs have risen again. What I used to spend to buy a chicken can now only buy a chicken leg."
"Mr. Brandon and his wife moved to live with relatives in Rio last night. Mr. Thomas's farm was attacked by thugs. Poor Elizabeth and Victoria, I don't know how they are doing now."
"There are more and more soldiers on the streets, but the security is getting worse and worse. I don't know what those soldiers are doing."
At this time, Hicks finally realized that it would be unwise to let Thelma go out again.
But there is always a meal every day, and even if Hicks and Thelma don't eat, the children's nutrition must be ensured.
"I'm going out for a big purchase later, and we won't go out for the next period of time." Hicks finally regretted it, and didn't know how the Chennault family was doing now.
The Chennault family is now very happy. Their immigration application has been approved by the Southern African Office in Macae, and it is the fastest green channel. The office even applied for the "Nansen Passport" for the Chennault family. With the "Nansen Passport",
"Passport", Chennault and his family can enter southern Africa smoothly.
Just entry.
If you want to naturalize, you must abide by the regulations of Southern Africa and spend the waiting period.
"Don't worry, the waiting period for Chinese immigrants to southern Africa is the shortest. If you are a special talent, you don't even need a waiting period. You can directly join the nationality of Southern Africa." Li Qing took the initiative to comfort Chen Jing. Li Qing had already given his home phone number.
Chen Jing, when the Chennault family arrives in southern Africa, you can call the Li Qing family. The Li Qing family will give the Chennault family all the help they can.
"What kind of talent is considered a special talent?" Chen Jing was curious, and it sounded like he was very powerful.
"Forget it about your family, uncle's craftsmanship is so good, he must be considered a special talent!" Li Qing has been bribed by the Chennault family.
As a girl, even if she graduated from Nyasaland Army Academy, she cannot resist beautiful clothes.
Chennault was a tailor by trade.
Chen Jing has been helping Chennault's tailor shop since she was a child, and her skills are actually very good. After getting familiar with Li Qing, Chen Jing changed Li Qing's uniform.
Then a miracle happened.
Macae only has one female staff member, Li Qing.
Working with a group of big men all day long, Li Qing's dressing style was inevitably affected and became wild.
Li Qing wears work clothes when working on weekdays.
Although work clothes are also customized, there is still a difference between uniform customization and special customization, and the difference is very big.
Chen Jing's changed work clothes seemed to be no different from the work clothes that were issued before, but Li Qing's clothes were more fitting and sharper, and they cleverly covered up some of the flaws in Li Qing's figure. He was obviously
A, it seems to have the feeling of C.
This made Li Qing extremely satisfied. In the past few days, he had raised his head like a little swan when he came in and out, and there were many more attentive mercenaries around him.
Of course, Li Qing must be dismissive. He ignored me before, but you can't reach me now.
These are Li Qing’s original words.
With Li Qing's jewelry in front, the Chennault family immediately became busy, and the business room was immediately upgraded to a presidential suit. There was no way, there were too many people looking for Chennault to make clothes. Not only women love beauty, but men also have this aspect.
The demand is good.
In fact, men and women attach equal importance to this matter and are equally picky about it.
Many straight men often dislike their girlfriends or wives spending too much time shopping.
That's because they have different hobbies. Straight men don't like shopping, so they naturally decide that shopping is a waste of time.
But straight men never compromise on their hobbies, such as cars.
No matter how straight a straight man is, when buying a car, he has to shop around at three or even thirty stores like women. He still browses car forums in the middle of the night and test drives one by one. What about acceleration, fuel consumption, configuration, and safety?
Ah, the interior, the value retention rate, the part-to-price ratio, and even the business philosophy must match your own three views. Buying a car is more complicated than finding a wife.
Women don’t have that much trouble. They consume too much fuel at any speed. As long as they look good, those who care about the interior are as rare as men who draw their wife’s eyebrows.
It still maintains its value. Before you buy the car, you start to worry about how much it will fetch when you sell it. This is not nitpicking, it is simply unfounded worry.
So let’s talk about how rare it is to have a good tailor. You must know that the cost of customizing one set of clothing in southern Africa can almost buy ten sets of mass-produced clothing.
This is just the processing fee, not counting the fabric.
Chennault is here to respond to every request. There is no processing fee or anything. Everyone is greeted with a smile and the service is attentive. They take the trouble to make modifications over and over again. Where can I find such considerate service? If you miss this village, you will not have this store.
