Chapter 254, Tuwa enters the city

The cement road leading from Beijing to Tianjin is full of traffic, and the flow of people is huge, and from time to time there are four-wheeled carriages driving rapidly on the spacious cement road.

In this era, those who can have carriages and horseback rides are really rich people, just like those who can afford to drive million-level luxury cars in later generations, they are all people with family backgrounds, as for the ordinary public, they all rely on walking.

Tuwa was dressed in patched clothes, with a pair of tattered shoes under her feet, her toes exposed, and a package on her back with a few changes of clothes in it.

He is not very old, only fourteen years old, this age in the next generation, it is still a child, but in this era he is already a young and strong labor force in the family, and he is naturally indispensable to what adults have to do.

Tuwa is from a rural area below Tianjin, and has never been outside the town since she was a child, so she is very yearning for the outside world, and she wants to go outside to break through and take a look.

This time, his sister sent a message to the family, saying that there were many things to do in Tianjin, and asked him to stop farming and come to Tianjin to work.

After thinking about it for a long time, Tuwa's parents finally agreed to let Tuwa go to Tianjin to see the situation first, and if it was really good, then get Tuwa's younger brothers and sisters to Tianjin.

Tuwa's sister Dong Chunhua is now the object of everyone's talk in the village, without it, because Dong Chunhua married well and married Wang Gensheng, who was a seaman.

In the past, this Wang Gensheng's family was also very poor, and he farmed for the landlord's family, and he didn't even have a one-third of an acre of land for himself.

But since the beginning of the year, this Wang Gensheng has gone out for the winter, and this Wang Gensheng has begun to be terrible, first what honeycomb coal is doing in the capital, not to mention eating fat in one winter, and earning silver.

But this is just the beginning, at the beginning of the year, this Wang Gensheng was admitted to Tianjin Maritime College, and after studying in it for a few months, he took off.

When I go to sea every day, I can earn several taels of silver every day, and I can earn a hundred taels of silver in a month, and in just a few months, Dong Chunhua's family has undergone earth-shaking changes.

First of all, he built a few big houses in his hometown, and became the object of everyone's talk in ten miles and eight townships, and the house in this family has not lived for a few days, and now it is said that he spent more than 800 taels of silver to buy a house in Tianjin, and this family has all moved to Tianjin and become city people.

More than 800 taels of silver is simply an astronomical amount for the countrymen, a number that they don't even dare to dream of, this Wang Gensheng actually said that he would take it out, and the people of the entire ten miles and eight towns are talking about this matter.

So this time Dong Chunhua went home from repairing books, and after thinking about it, Tuwa's parents also decided to let Tuwa come out to see the world and see if he could follow his brother-in-law Wang Gensheng to mix up in Tianjin.

At home, they are so poor that they don't even have land, so they can only farm for the landlord, and at the end of the year, they don't even have a few full meals, and such days are enough.

Tuwa's soles were windy, and he didn't feel tired of walking for two days, and he was excited when he thought of Tianjin and made a lot of money in Tianjin in the future.

Tuwa's hometown because of the reason for the famine, there are many people who have stayed in Tianjin, and many people have stayed in Tianjin, and now everyone knows that it is good to live and make money in Tianjin, so there are many people who are also running to Tianjin one after another like Tuwa, wanting to go to Tianjin to make a lot of money.

"Tuwa, slow down~"

Behind Tuwa, several people who were about the same age as Tuwa kept shouting.

"A few of you are too slow, this is almost to Tianjin, and you are still grinding."

Tuwa looked ahead, and was already able to see Tianjin City vaguely, and then looked at a few people from the same village behind her, and she was also hurriedly bright.

"Tuwa, my feet are sore, let's sit down and rest, it's almost there anyway, and I don't care about this moment."

"That's right, these horses are coming, rest, rest, look at the carriages on this road, there are so many, I have never seen so many carriages in my life."

"The people in this city are just looking good, look at their clothes, and these shoes."

A few friends who came out with Tuwa came to the green belt in the middle of the road, sat down as soon as they sat down, watched the people coming and going, and couldn't help but say excitedly.

Tuwa shook her head helplessly, returned to their side, and sat down, also looking at everything on the cement horse road, which was very novel, and she was also full of expectations for life in Tianjin.

"I'm going to wear such beautiful clothes in the future~"

Tuwa looked at the pedestrians on the cement road, and thought in his heart that he didn't dare to think too far at this time, he could only think about how to look better in the future.

Soon, everyone rested for a while and walked again, the cement road was naturally much more comfortable, and all kinds of novelties could be seen along the way, which also made these people very excited, while chatting, but also walking to Tianjin.

Inside the city of Tianjin.

Tuwa and others were completely dumbfounded, it was too lively here, there were too many people, with the rise of Tianjin Port, which led to the development of Tianjin, the city of Tianjin became prosperous and congested.

"Tuwa, how did you find your sister? This Tianjin city is too big. ”

The water baby who came out with Tuwa looked at the dense flow of people in front of her, and suddenly didn't know what to do.

"I don't know what to do, my sister wrote back and asked me to go to the Moon Bay community to find her, but where is the Moon Bay community here?"

Tuwa is also dumbfounded, in this era without telephone, finding someone is often a more painful thing, many times you can only agree on the time and place in advance, otherwise it is too difficult to find someone really in the vast sea of people.

"Moon Bay is not here in the old city, you have to go to the new city, continue along the cement road, walk to the Tianjin port, and ask people again."

There were kind-hearted people next to them who heard the words of Tuwa and Shuiwa, and also showed them the way.

"Thank you, thank you~"

Tuwa, Shuiwa and others hurriedly thanked them, and at the same time walked to Tianjin New Town.

"I'm here to vote for relatives again~"

The person who pointed the way looked at the earth baby and water baby who were walking outside, and couldn't help but smile and shook his head, now Tianjin is no longer what it used to be, with the rapid development of various industries, this needs too many people, too many, the major workshops and cement factories in Tianjin are recruiting, and the wages are also OK, so naturally it is also a huge attraction to the area around Tianjin, and there are many, many people who come to the city like the soil baby and the water baby every day.

"But it's rare to have relatives in the Moon Bay community."

The man shook his head, and soon forgot about it, Tianjin is too busy here, and everyone has something to do.

Tuwa, Shuiwa and others left Tianjin City and walked towards Tianjin New Town, and after more than an hour, they found the Moon Bay Community.

However, there was no accident, they were stopped by the uncle who guarded the door of the Moon Bay Community, and waited until Dong Chunhua came out to pick them up, these young people, only thirteen or fourteen years old, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally found the organization, so that they would not have to sleep on the streets.

"Sister, the house here costs more than eight hundred taels of silver?"

Under the leadership of Dong Chunhua, Tuwa and Shuiwa entered the Moon Bay Community, and when they walked in the Moon Bay Community, the eyes of Tuwa and the others looked at them with great curiosity, and they also asked Dong Chunhua from time to time.

"Hmm~"

Dong Chunhua smiled and nodded, the Moon Bay community has now become the most famous rich community in Tianjin, as long as you say that you are from the Moon Bay community, you will definitely have some praise, and at the same time, you can enjoy a lot of envious eyes.

She enjoyed the feeling.

"This house is also too good-looking, better than our landlord Liu's house."

The water baby was also dumbfounded, the white walls, green tiles, bright glass windows, and clean and tidy streets, even the roads they walked were cleaner than their homes, which made them all feel dirty.

"Isn't that nonsense, Landlord Liu's house can be sold for more than eight hundred taels of silver?"

Dong Chunhua said proudly, and took them to her home.
