Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 254, life in the city
Of course, in the afternoon, Wang Gensheng bought pots and pans, bought some beds, quilts and so on, and officially entered his new house. Of course, Wang Gensheng is not the only one like this.

In the entire Moon Bay Community, as the keys were handed out, hundreds of families officially moved in that day, which also made the entire community very lively.

For the people of this era, there is no such thing as decoration. The floor is paved with cement and the walls are whitewashed. This is already the most luxurious decoration of this era, and there is no need to bother about it.

In particular, this group of house buyers are basically sailors. These people used to be bitter, that is, they were lucky enough to follow Liu Jin, and they were still studying in colleges. Only then did Xianyu turn around one day.

Being able to live in such a house is enough for them, unlike some rich businessmen and gentry, these people naturally look down on such a house, they can build it themselves if they have money, and they all pay attention to the door, it needs to be large and luxurious just work.

Dong Chunhua is busy in the kitchen of the new house. The kitchen of this new house is designed separately. There is a traditional stove and a coal stove specially used for burning briquettes. It is a matching gift.

"This house is expensive, but it's comfortable no matter how you look at it."

Dong Chunhua is naturally very concerned about the place where she will work in the future, and quickly figured out everything in the kitchen. The kitchen is not too big, but everything is very well designed, and she likes it very much. The kitchen of my hometown in the country can be compared.

The kitchen here is very bright and clean, especially the sink, which she likes the most. Whether it is washing pots and pans, or washing clothes, it is very convenient. When the faucet is pressed, the water rushes It's so convenient that you don't need to fetch water, let alone carry water.

Of course, this was just the beginning. In the next few days, Dong Chunhua fell in love with this house more and more, and what she liked most was the toilet.

The latrines in Moon Bay Community are similar to the latrines of later generations. They are very clean and tidy after being flushed with water after use. Moreover, there is an independent latrine in this house, which makes life much, much more convenient.

You must know that in this era, whether it is in the city or in the countryside, it is extremely inconvenient to go to the toilet. In the city, special utensils are needed, and then they are processed together. One can imagine the taste of it.

As for the rural areas, that's even more so. Most of the time, it is done casually outside, or there is a special place in a village, but the conditions are very simple and there is no privacy.

It is completely different now. This new type of toilet solves all the problems. It is clean, tidy, convenient, safe, and confidential. Dong Chunhua likes it the most.

“People in the city know how to enjoy~”

Dong Chunhua lamented so much, she is a country woman with long hair but short knowledge, naturally she doesn't know that even in the capital, no one can enjoy such a life.

Only in the many industries under Liu Jin can there be such a latrine. Even if such a latrine is placed in later generations, it is quite acceptable. You must know that a country in South Asia that claims to be the second largest country in the world until two thousand years ago. Didn't solve the problem.

In addition to Dong Chunfang being very satisfied with all aspects of the house, she also likes many supporting facilities in the community.

There are more than a dozen shops in the center of the community. As the community is put into use, these dozens of shops are also opening one after another.

There are grain stores, rice from the south of the Yangtze River, flour from the north, chestnut rice, etc., all of which are available, with a complete range and high quality, but the price is relatively not cheap.

There are butcher shops, pork, mutton, all kinds of seafood, chickens, ducks and geese from rural areas, etc., you can choose everything you want, and even occasionally beef is sold here.

There are grocery stores, all kinds of groceries needed for life, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc. You can buy them in the community without going to Tianjin City.

There is even a rouge and gouache store, and the things inside are quite expensive. Dong Chunhua just went in and took a look, asked casually, and immediately came out. After all, she is still not used to the current life, and the money is still the same as before. Also try to save flowers.

The shops in the community greatly facilitate the lives of everyone in the community. They are located outside the community, because this is part of Tianjin New City, and it is also very close to the planned market in the new city.

On the side of the market, you can buy everything. It has formed a bustling small neighborhood, and it is very convenient to go shopping.

On this day, Dong Chunhua and Fan Lianhua, the wife of Chen Laosan next door, were walking very casually in the Moon Bay community. The two of them came to Tianjin and had nothing else to do except washing, cooking and housework. .

Wang Gensheng and Chen Laosan both go to sea every day and stay away from home most of the time. As for the children at home, they have gone to Moon Bay Private School to go to school.

This made the two country women have nothing to do all of a sudden. For them who are used to hard work, this time they have nothing to do, but they feel uncomfortable all over and don't know what to do.

"It's comfortable to live in this city, but it costs money everywhere. You see, it's not money for daily oil, salt, and firewood. That's not money. You have to pay the property fee and water fee every month. Calculate it. Dozens of pennies a day is simply not enough to cover the expenses.”

Fan Lianhua was counting the financial accounts with her fingers.

"Isn't that right? My boss said that I want to eat beef, so I went to the market outside to cut two catties of beef in the morning, and prepared to make sauce meat. This beef is very expensive, and two catties of beef cost tens of pennies." Woolen cloth."

Dong Chunhua also nodded, if it wasn't for the fact that the head of the family would make money, they really wouldn't be able to live here, what a countryman's life these days are.

If you spend dozens or hundreds of wen every day, if you put it in the countryside, you may not be able to spend that much money in a month.

"Spending money is nothing. Our two households can be regarded as making money. The money should be spent. What makes me most uncomfortable is that I have nothing to do except washing and cooking at home. You know, how can we country people live freely, there is nothing to do, and the whole body feels uncomfortable."

Fan Lianhua smiled and nodded, and said after thinking about it.

"I heard that there are many workshops and factories in Tianjin that are recruiting people. I wonder if I should also find some time to do it. Otherwise, if I stay idle like this, people will get rusty."

"There are a lot of them. There are many workshops and factories here in Tianjin. The salary is not bad. I have asked someone to send a letter to my family, asking my natal siblings to come out and work here in Tianjin." .”

"The person in charge of my family doesn't let me go out to work, saying that he is a seaman anyway, and if this wife still goes out to work, people will laugh at her."

"But we are all country people. It's too uncomfortable to have nothing to do."

"Listen to what you said, I also want to ask someone to study and go home, so that everyone in the family can come to Tianjin to work."

The two kept chatting.

Both of them are from the same village, and they were familiar with each other before, but now that they go outside, they are naturally together every day, shopping together, shopping and so on.

For the present life, they naturally like it very much. They live a carefree life. The only trouble is that they always feel uncomfortable when they have nothing to do.

But this is also the trouble of happiness. After all, no one likes to work hard, and everyone wants to live a leisurely life, and they are just talking about it.

Here in Tianjin, I saw the prosperity of Tianjin and enjoyed the rich life here. They also went to their own homes and natal homes to study, and they were ready to call their younger brothers and sisters to Tianjin, just like later generations. .

　Is everyone at work?
