[Titanic] Golden House

Chapter 72

Because Mr. Hockley has a mother with a Chinese soul, he is very lucky to have breast milk.

Rose used to hear people say that breastfeeding is good.At this time, facing her own child, she naturally wanted to give her the best she knew.

However, she only intends to self-feed for six months.The reason is because she heard that breast milk is the best for only six months.The nutritional value in the future is not as high as that of a cow.

Whether it was true or not, Rose was prepared to do so.So, as soon as she heard the cry of her precious son, the newly appointed little mother rushed over.

"No thunder, no rain." Rose murmured, and then carefully touched the little quilt on Xiaowa's bed.It still looks dry.Then you know, this guy is hungry.

With Duo'er's help, he fed the little fat man.Rose was completely relieved.

Before giving birth, Rose never knew that such a small child would cry without tears.But I heard that in a few days, if her son cries again, tears will come pouring out.

Putting her satiated son aside, Rose patted him gently while thinking about the idea of ​​having Carter deliver lunch boxes to schools.

Although it seems to be a bit of a loss in the early stage, children are very competitive. If the lunch box is more delicate and cute.She thought that those students who didn't get lunch boxes would ask their families to buy them.

Although lunch boxes are not consumables, they are refurbished in different styles every year. If you think about it, even if you bought it before, you will want to replace it with a new one.Parents at home driven by students, some factories do not provide lunch.The usefulness of the lunch box appeared.

Of course, she also understands that things like lunch boxes are usually used by ordinary families.But the purchasing power of civilian families is actually very impressive.

She is not greedy, as long as she can afford milk powder for her son.

Carl has a social meeting at noon today, and Rose is the only one eating lunch.So after dinner, Rose took a nap as usual.

Carl is not young anymore, and he loves children more than Rose.As long as there is nothing to do at noon, it runs back every day.After eating at home, resting for a while, hugging my son, I went to the company by car.

In the past, Rose always thought that the president, general manager, and chairman of the board would not go to work on time.That's how it's written in the novel.Who knows that people who have really come into contact with this level will know, and then believe what is written in the novel, she is a stick.

Karl is very busy, and there are constant entertainments.Sometimes, he would take official documents home for review.At this time, Rose generally would not bother her.

Karl was reading official documents in the study, and she was sitting on the sofa beside her, reading novels.When he finished his work, the two of them had supper together.

After getting pregnant, this way of getting along has not changed.It's just another couch in the study.Then Rose read novels, ate fruit and snacks on the couch.

And Karl, sitting opposite to deal with the official documents.Then he looked up at her from time to time.

Rose didn't know if the phrase "the present world is stable and the years are quiet" that people often say is a portrayal of her life at this time.But at least she knows that this kind of life is worthless.

As the days passed, little Mr. Hockley grew and grew more handsome.Big eyes, always looking at you cutely.Every time Rose would pounce on her and have a good kiss.

Only a beautiful mother like her can give birth to such a beautiful baby.

In August of this year, when Mr. Hockley Jr. was barely able to sit up, the war broke out.With the advent of war, many American cowboys saw the way to become heroes.They left their hometowns one after another and left their jobs to join the army.

Karl's factory was also hit by a lack of productivity.After Rose knew about it, she invited people from Jinlongmen in the United States to organize the Huaxia people who were still in the United States to enter the factory.

At this time, when you enter a factory that lacks people, the treatment and wages of each factory are the best in recent years.As long as these Chinese people are willing to work hard.In the years after the First World War, Zhengzheng made a lot of money.

This is much better than those Fusang people who signed employment contracts in advance.

Since the implementation of the marketing program of rewarding lunch boxes in primary and secondary schools in New York, Rose's lunch box selling points in New York have significantly increased their turnover.

After the outbreak of World War I, the various lunch boxes produced by Rose Factory became a more popular commodity than military supplies.Tableware has a special place to store in the lunch box.The sealing effect is also good, neither leaking nor afraid of bumps.

On top of that, there is also a lunch box with a fold-out handle with screws.They can put the lunch box directly on the fire to heat it.

All of a sudden, lunch boxes became a necessity, a commodity that was in short supply.But even so, Rose didn't add another production line.

The reason is that a production line requires more people to operate it.As for the machinery and equipment of the production line, the Germans will no longer sell them to her at this time.

Rose's lunch boxes only have five stores in New York as exclusive stores.Rose has no intention of setting foot in other areas.The United States is so big, using all the stores as exclusive stores, it is definitely a manifestation of brain flooding.

If you want lunch boxes in other places, you can go to factories or retail stores to wholesale them.Although you will earn a little less, you can save a lot of worry.

Her real estate elsewhere in the United States, in addition to residential stores, also has some farms.Small farms are also connected into pieces through buying or selling.She handed over the management of the farm to Manager Charlie.

When a person is old, it is necessary to find something for him to do.Otherwise, you will think east and west.Even the mental energy will be shortened.Butler Charlie has been busier since he came to America.Better to please him than Bucket Mansion without a master.

Rose's farm employs some Chinese laborers.Those people were all recommended by Golden Dragon Gate of the United States.Rose was very relieved.

In the farms near New York City, in addition to food, fruits and vegetables are also grown.These harvests will be used to pay for the daily expenses of Hockley's old house and the general store in Rose's factory.

Rose is a petty citizen.She is not even willing to pay for the benefits of providing free working meals for these Fusang workers.How could it be possible for these Fusang people who earned her money to spend money to buy things from other people's homes?

Therefore, the things sold in the factory and the food and vegetables needed by the toll canteen are all provided by Rose's farm.

Even if Rose can't provide other things, she will wholesale them back in her name, and then sell them at retail prices.In short, it will not be cheap and free.

In this way, Rose's factory became a small society by itself.Not even the slightest hint of the tense scope of the First World War came in.

There is food, drink, and a place to live.There is also a lot of salary to get every month.The life of these Fusang people is very good.They are also very satisfied with the status quo.

But after the contract ended, World War I happened to be over.These Fusang talents know how low the high salary they thought was at the beginning.

So, out of anger, they left Rose's factory without renewing their contracts.When Rose heard the news, she just smiled lightly.

After World War I ended, how many American soldiers and Europeans left the army.back to society.Now there is no shortage of workers in factories all over the United States, or all of Europe.Letting these Fusang people leave can also take advantage of the opportunity to reduce the cost of employment, so why not do it.

From the beginning to the end of World War I, the influence on Rose was almost pitiful.No one in their family served as a soldier or went to war.Often the battle situation on the front line is reported to the public through newspaper broadcasts.Rose suddenly remembered that there was a war outside.

Every time at this time, she would have a feeling that she was watching the seven o'clock news of "the country is very peaceful, and the foreign country is chaotic".

The years are immeasurable, and four years have passed in the blink of an eye.At the end of the war, Rose's second son was also two years old.With two children, Rose saw a familiar face in the expedition team.

Jack Dawson.

Seeing the unabated handsome Jack Dawson, who added a bit of maturity and vicissitudes.Rose suddenly discovered that each choice of each person will lead to a different life.As she is, so is Jack.

It is a lifetime to go with the flow, and it is also a lifetime to work hard.The key is to choose.

Jack Dawson's eyes were still so deep, but there were no traces of romance in them.That glib young man of literature and art has also grown into an iron-blooded man.

Years are merciless!

He gave up his stable job and wanted to change his court, but with the passage of time, only living is the only belief left in his heart.

Jack Dawson still remembers the noble lady he met on the Titanic that year.Once upon a time, he was imagining that under the unexpected reunion, they would meet each other and meet in the depths of their eyes.But now, she will never haunt him again.

The charming feelings back then had already passed away in the first charge.The baptism of blood, the cruelty of war.Life and death made him not even know himself.

He thought he was not afraid of death, but when the familiar people around him fell into a pool of blood one by one, his trembling hands couldn't even pick up the gun.

He wanted to escape from this terrible battlefield like a region.But he has nowhere to go.

For countless days and nights, he kept asking himself, why did he come here?

What did he do?Countries, or their own ridiculous, naive ideas.

Being on the battlefield does not mean that you can become a hero.On the battlefield, there are only two kinds of people, one is the living and the other is the dead.

He couldn't ignore the comrades around him, his body was getting colder and stiffer.There they lay, where they were to rest forever.And what he can do for them is to bring their news back to their hometown.

News of death.

In the face of life and death, what else can move him.

Therefore, Jack, who can be regarded as returning home, walked forward firmly.Because of this, Rose, who was standing in the crowd, didn't look surprised.

Who would have thought that Jack Dawson, who was supposed to die in the sinking of the Titanic, actually participated in World War I alive and got a military rank.

Although Rose didn't know anything about military ranks.But when Jack Dawson passed by just now, the position he was in was not something an ordinary soldier could stand.

The little son in his arms looked at his mother in a daze, and unhappily grabbed a strand of mother's hair and stuffed it into his head.

The pain from the scalp made Rose quickly withdraw her attention.But looking at the bright eyes of her youngest son, Rose kissed him comfortingly.

Both of these are ancestors, and they cannot be beaten or scolded.

But who is Rose?There has never been a lack of methods to teach your son.

Last time the boss took the second child and broke her favorite porcelain set.Rose gritted her teeth and asked the housekeeper to buy ten catties each of red beans, mung beans, black beans, soybeans, and pinto beans.Put these in a big basin and ask the two sons to pick them out by category.

I can't finish it, or I'm short of catties.They have no meat to eat.

This trick was seen by Rose when she read novels before.She found it very useful at the time.I deliberately kept it in my heart.Now I finally have a chance to take it out and put it to good use.

The two sons were fined, and they looked for Carl and Charlie the butler.But who let the yin and yang decline in this family?

Every time he watched his sons pick up beans aggrieved, Carl was thankful that Rose didn't let him kneel down on the Chinese washboard with thin bulges.

Carl had heard that Li Goudan, who lived in the house, was fined by Duoer, who had been serving Rose, to put a radiator on his head and kneel on the washboard because he chatted with a female worker in the factory.

His Rose is indeed the most gentle.

If Carl knew that this method was told by Rose, I don't know if he would think so.

Holding her youngest son in her arms, Rose pushed her way out of the crowd with the servants who followed her, and headed home.

As soon as she got home, Jenny sent a telegram from the First Lady of China.

At the beginning of the year, Zhang Muyuan finally secured his position as the President of China.From the day he became president, Huaxia has moved towards a future that no one can predict.

Over the years, Rose has never forgotten to pay them at the beginning of each year.Regarding that contract, although they already knew that Rose might not have meant it.But still did not reject Rose's funding.

In the past two years, Huaxia has developed even better.Railways and roads have been built one after another.Electric lights are no longer a rare thing.

Relevant departments were organized by the state, and electric lights were used from government agencies to universities, middle schools and primary schools.Especially this year, even ordinary people have begun to apply for electric lights in their homes.

The former president of Huaxia, Hua Shifeng, died of illness suddenly, and the army was suddenly leaderless.Fortunately, everyone has clearly divided and reformed the army before.Although it was not implemented because of Hua Shifeng.

It is not difficult to arrive at this time.It can be used directly.

Speaking of which, if Hua Shifeng's sudden illness had not passed away, Zhang Muyuan would not have been able to sit on the throne of the President so smoothly.

But things are developing in a good way, and Rose sometimes laments the power of the butterfly effect.

Today is the day when the U.S. * team returns to China. Li Yetong sent a telegram on such a day, it must be something.But their identities are different, which means that the things they can say are also different.

At least there is nothing to talk about before, and there is no more.Li Yetong often avoids things in China or the government.Maybe she didn't mean to, but she had to.

Rose also knew in her heart that if she was in a different place, maybe she would do the same.Huaxia is developing, and Fusang is changing.Many things will never happen again.

Rose is no longer staring at Huaxia so closely.Rose also formally sent a telegram to recruit those who were sent to China back then.

It's a pity that Europe has been fighting all these years, and after living in China for a few years, they are unwilling to come back.They all stayed there.Rose is no longer forcing them to stay.After thinking about it for a while, he told Zhang Muyuan the information about those people.

As they often say, people who are not of my race must have a different heart.Who knows if they will sell the news of Huaxia to others besides Rose.

Don't blame Rose for this, it's just because there is a trade-off.They are nothing compared to China's safety.

With a lot of thoughts in her mind, Rose was not in a hurry to read the telegram. She took the telegram to send away the two naughty boys, and then walked slowly to the living room.
