When Rock came to Johannesburg, Johannesburg was still just a small town built on the mountains. The barren hillside was dotted with haphazard shacks, and there were little black kids running around naked. There were not even any decent roads.

No, the police department initially rented a hotel to work.

 Johannesburg is now one of the largest cities in southern Africa. Thanks to taxes from the Rand Gold Mine, Johannesburg's fiscal revenue is second to none among all cities in southern Africa.

 With money, there will naturally be more funds for urban construction. In just two decades, Johannesburg has undergone earth-shaking changes. Whether it is urban infrastructure or municipal appearance, it is ranked first in southern Africa.

The textile factory, which has now been renamed the Textile Group, is located in the southwest corner of Johannesburg. It has 23,000 employees and the total number of family members must exceed 100,000. This is the population size of a first-class city in southern Africa today. The entire

The total population of Johannesburg is only 400,000.

Bai Di is a female worker in a textile group. Her job is to take care of the spinning machines. Ten years ago, Bai Di came to Johannesburg with her family. She got married and had children in Johannesburg. She and her husband both worked in textile factories in Rio.

Leo is a security guard at a textile factory.

 The textile factory in Johannesburg adopts a three-shift system, with people and machines constantly working. With hard work, Betty and Leo can earn a combined monthly R35, which allows Betty and her family to live a dignified life in Johannesburg.

 The so-called dignity means that Bai Di can afford the employee apartment built by the textile factory, her children can receive education in public schools, she can afford to go to the hospital for treatment when she gets sick, and she can also enjoy one month of paid vacation every year.

The benefits of the Johannesburg Textile Group are quite good. This is due to the high salary and benefits of the Textile Group. In addition to setting aside a smaller part of the profits of the Textile Group to expand reproduction, most of the profits will be shared with all employees.

Share, Textile Group has 23,000 employees, and its monthly expenditure on salary and benefits is as high as 500,000 rand. There are many large companies in southern Africa, but only Textile Group can do this.

This month Betty and Leo are lucky. They both work day shifts and can go to and from get off work together.

 After finishing a day's work, Bai Di and Leo went home together. The staff apartment was less than two kilometers away from the textile factory. This journey was Bai Di's most relaxing moment every day.

However, Bai Di was not in a good mood today. Rumors about the imminent relocation of the textile group spread to Yu Chuan Yu Lie. Some people said that the textile factory would be moved to the desert area south of Diaz. Others said that the textile factory was about to be moved to a certain location in the Southern African Union.

In the dependent countries, some people say that textile factories should be moved to India because Indian workers are cheaper.

“No matter what it is, it’s not a good thing for us.” Leo was worried and didn’t want to leave Johannesburg.

But it’s okay not to leave. If the factory really wants to move, Leo and Betty will still have to go with the factory.

The textile factory is a chemical company, and it is indeed very polluted. There is a small river next to the road that Leo and Bai Di often walk to and from get off work. There is no grass on both sides of the river. The river water is dark green all year round, and it emits a pungent smell every summer.

, sometimes white foam will fill the entire river.

It is no wonder that the Johannesburg city government hopes to relocate the factory. For Johannesburg now, textile factories have become a persistent headache.

"Don't worry, Madam won't leave us alone." Bai Di has confidence in Phyllis. In southern Africa, if you don't add a title, just saying "Lord" refers specifically to Roark, and "Madam" is naturally Felice.

Liz.

If it were in person, even if Ade or Kitchenna saw Phyllis, they would still call her "Mrs. Nyasaland".

Without Felice, the tens of thousands of workers and family members of the textile group would not be able to enjoy their current lives, so Felice's status in the hearts of the textile factory workers is very high, which is also the source of Bai Di's confidence.

“Madam is in Nyasaland, I’m afraid everyone has forgotten about our textile group.” Leo was not complaining, but panicking inside.

"How can you say that!" Bai Di was angry and did not allow Leo to slander Phyllis: "Madam will definitely not ignore it. Everything we have now was given by Madam. You should be grateful."

"That's not what I meant. Of course I'm grateful. I'm just worried that Madam focuses on national affairs every day, and she might not be able to take care of us ordinary people." Leo's face was filled with worry. He was definitely grateful to Phyllis, but he was also worried.

there must be.

 When passing by the market, Leo and Bai Di bought some vegetables and fruits. There were still chickens and eggs in the refrigerator. The vegetables and fruits must be fresh.

Don’t be surprised, there was already a refrigerator in 1922, and the world’s first household refrigerator appeared in 1879.

Most of the household refrigerators sold in the southern African market are produced by Rhodesia Electrical Appliances and Nyasaland Electrical Appliances. You can tell who the owners of these two companies are by just looking at their names.

In this era when most household refrigerators are still using ether, ammonia, or sulfuric acid as refrigerants that are either flammable, corrosive, or irritating, refrigerators in southern Africa have begun to use safe, non-toxic, non-corrosive,

Using non-flammable Freon as a refrigerant, Rhodesia Electric and Nyasaland Electric sold a total of 500,000 household refrigerators last year. The products were not only sold well in southern Africa, but also exported to Europe and the United States, which were in short supply.

"If the factory is moved to the desert, will we still be able to buy fresh and cheap vegetables? Let alone move to West Africa or the Congo. I don't want to work with those Africans." Leo babbled as he paid.

Prices in southern Africa are indeed very cheap. A bag full of vegetables and fruits only costs 40 cents, which is equivalent to about 0.1 rand.

“Leo, don’t worry, even if the factory moves to the moon, I will go with the factory.” The owner of the store selling vegetables and fruits is familiar with Leo and his wife, and the store owner’s wife also works in a textile group.

 “What a beautiful idea!” Leo laughed loudly. If the factory was moved to the moon, it would really be considered.

 The couple started cooking dinner when they got home. Dinner was also a rare time for Bai Di and her family to get together.

The textile group provides working meals, and the public school where the children attend also provides nutritious meals. The family can only get together in the evening, so dinner at Bai Di’s house is always very sumptuous.

Today is the weekend, and her eldest daughter, who is studying at Ziwei Public School, will also go home. Baidi fried a piece of tilapia from Nyasaland, and half a chicken was stewed in a casserole next to it. Leo only knows how to cook vegetables.

Salad, bake some bread, make applesauce, and a sumptuous dinner is freshly baked.

 At seven o'clock in the evening, the children arrived home one after another, and the house with three bedrooms and one living room suddenly became lively.

Betty and Leo have four children in total, two sons and two daughters. The eldest daughter, Tia, will graduate from high school this year. Her grades are very good and she is qualified to be admitted to the Johannesburg Medical School. However, Tia insists on applying for Nyasaland University.

This has always been her ideal.

Unlike Tia, who has excellent academic performance, Betty's eldest son William's academic performance is not very good. He studies at the Textile Factory Affiliated Middle School. The affiliated middle school is still a first-class school in Johannesburg, and the teaching quality is at least better than the public schools in Johannesburg.

 William also had an ideal, and his ideal was Nyasaland Army Academy.

 Before dinner, Bai Di checked the children's study status as usual.

 Tia’s grades are as good as ever. In the exam that just passed, she received an award from Ziwei Public School. The prize was a hero pen produced by Itno.

 Sorry, not a hero, but a hero

William caused trouble in school again. While playing football, he broke the glass in the classroom. Not only was he criticized by the teacher, but Leo had to go to school to compensate for the damage tomorrow.

 The younger son and daughter don’t talk. They are both still in elementary school, and their grades are pretty good. They are not as good as Tia, and not as bad as William. The fastest update on the computer::/

“Okay, okay, it’s time to eat. Let’s give the children a warm dining table time. Let’s talk about study after dinner, okay?” Leo plays the role of a loving father at home.

“Okay, let’s eat first, William, and figure out how to get spanked!” Betty was very strict with the children, and being spanked was a common occurrence.

“If you hit me again, I will tell the teacher at school that this is domestic violence.” William has reached the age where he knows how to fight for his rights.

“Don’t worry, I won’t beat you to the level of domestic violence.” Bai Di sneered. She has already gained experience in beating children.

“Is the school’s teacher telling you that the textile group is going to relocate?” Tia heard similar discussions at Ziwei Public School. The teachers at Ziwei Public School were relatively well-informed.

 “Don’t worry, we will be together no matter what, and we will be a good family.” Leo didn’t know that this sentence was ambiguous, and it was not popular to make jokes these days.

 Bai Di served chicken soup to the children, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

 The children have reached a sensible age, and Bai Di does not want these things to affect their growth.

Considering the education of the children, Betty secretly made up her mind that if the factory really had to be moved to the desert, then one of Betty and Leo would have to resign and stay in Johannesburg to take care of the children.

 Compared with work, children’s education is obviously more important, and this is now deeply rooted in southern Africa.

“Actually, there’s nothing wrong with moving to Rustenburg. Some of my classmates are from Rustenburg. It’s a nice place, and it’s not far from Ziwei City.” Tia’s words surprised Bai Di and Leo.

“Rustenburg? Isn’t it the desert of Diaz?” Bai Di asked. Compared with the desert where no grass grows, Rustenburg is still acceptable.

"Mom, you and dad should really go out for a walk. The desert in Dias State is also being managed. And how could the Lord and Lady move the factory to the desert? They are so kind."

Xue is completely brainwashed, Rock's kindness is only in southern Africa.
