The night was already completely dark, and it was even colder.

Cui Yunshi gave his hands a sigh again, and then took a deep breath again. Feeling that she had finally gathered enough strength, she reached out and grabbed the thick rope by the well.

Fetch another bucket of water, wash some clothes, and hand it over to the barracks of the Gu family tomorrow, and you can get five copper plates for the slurry washing payment.

"I really want to thank that Mr. Gu."

She thought so in her heart.

When the night was cold and windy, the rope for drawing water was stiff and stiff, so she had already gathered enough strength in advance and finally pulled a bucket of water out of the well.

Her wheezing was uneven, but her heart was happy.

At this moment, a laugh came from not far away, and said from afar: "Isn't Sister-in-law Cui ready to call it a day?"

Cui Yunshi turned his head, smiled at the other side, and said, "Didn't my sister finish work too?"

The woman over there smiled even brighter, and said with a happy face: "Today's luck is good, I received a good job, there are fifty iron armors in the Gu family iron horse that need to be maintained, sister, I grabbed one of the iron armor maintenance work among more than two hundred competitors, and I have to rush to work overnight, and it is very cumbersome to wipe oil and rust, so how can I call it a day, I am not ready to sleep tonight." ”

Cui Yunshi was envious, and said suddenly: "You actually received another job to maintain your armor, this is the second time you have received such a big job." Last time, you just maintained an iron armor, and you directly received a salary of fifty yuan, although you were busy for a day and a night and couldn't close your eyes, but you earned more than I slurry and washed my military uniform for five days......"

The woman on the other side laughed more and more, and said humbly: "Good luck, good luck, it's not as capable as Sister-in-law Cui, and she deserves to be the family of Qinghe Cui." ”

Cui Yunshi slowly walked to the house with a bucket, and continued to talk to the woman with a smile as he walked, saying, "They are all branches of various families and clans, how can they match the last sentence of Cui's." If you really want to talk about it, aren't you Taiyuan Wang also five surnames and seven hopes?"

Between the two women, talking and laughing, slowly two more women joined in, and gradually, some children emerged from the house, and saw that the mothers were busy, the older children hurriedly ran over to help, and the younger ones were scurrying around the yard, playing without fear of the cold.

It's a warm picture full of life.

At present, this courtyard is a microcosm of the entire Youzhou City.

In almost every such courtyard, there are three or four or even four or five families living in them, and although they are a little crowded, everyone is satisfied.

After all, they are stronger than ordinary people, as soon as they come to Youzhou, they can have a house of their own to live, it is said that this is a great benevolence of Mr. Gu, it is a dormitory specially allocated to the little officials to settle their families, it is said that this dormitory is only a temporary place, and in the future, Mr. Gu will also order someone to build a better courtyard group, and at that time, each family can have its own small courtyard.

At present, there are four families living in this small courtyard, Cui Yun's family is because her husband is a small official, and the men of the other three families are also the same.

They all feel that this life is very satisfying.

Just when the women were chatting and working, they suddenly heard a rush of footsteps at the door, first a man laughed, as if he was constantly congratulating someone, and then the women heard clearly, it was congratulating Cui Yun's husband, Cui Haoran.

"Brother Cui, Brother Cui, you have finally taken off, you have to have some blood today, otherwise the three of us will not let you go."

"To drink, you have to drink, you have to have meat, and you have to let Cui's sister-in-law clean up a big table of meat. Brother Cui has such a great opportunity today, if he doesn't have a little blood, he can't say anything about it. ”

"Hahahaha, Brother Cui, look at you, you can't close your mouth with joy, you just nod but say a word."

Several men laughed heartily, and their figures soon appeared in this small courtyard.

It was the men of each of the four families.

In the past, when it was time to go on a business trip, although the men of each family also returned together, but after returning, at most they talked a little, and then they hurriedly went to help their wives work, but today it was obviously different, and the men walked to the Cui family's house together.

At this time, Cui Yunshi was sitting in front of a wooden basin in a daze, her red and swollen hands soaked in cold water were still doing inertial pulp washing movements.

But seeing her husband rushing in front of her like a gust of wind, he suddenly handed her a stack of crystal clear exquisite small cards, and her husband's voice trembled, which was a kind of excitement that had never been seen before.

Cui Yunshi even heard the crying voice from her husband's voice.

"Yun Niang, Yun Niang, look at it, look at it, this is a thousand points, the kind of Gu points that Mr. Gu made, a thousand points, a thousand points, a thousand points......"

"Yun Niang, Yun Niang, I was appreciated by Mr. Gu!"

Cui Yunshi only felt his brain explode.

A thousand Gu points, what a huge fortune this must be, but what really made her tremble was the last sentence that her husband said.

Husband and wife, he was appreciated by Mr. Gu.

At this time, the night was cold and windy, and the whistling was like a ghost crying, but the whining wind fell in Cui Yun's ears, but it seemed to be as beautiful as the sound of heaven.

"It turns out that fate can really change."

"It turns out that my husband's dream is not a fantasy."

"The whole family traveled thousands of miles to Youzhou, just thinking that they would be satisfied if they could make their lives better, but they never thought that God would open his eyes again, and the change of fate would come so suddenly."

"My husband whispers in his sleep every night, and he always says that he will definitely go to the ground, and now, is he really going to go to the ground?"

It was as if his eyes had become blurry, and there were two lines of hot stuff on his face, but Xie Yunshi was so demented that he clearly forgot to wipe away the tears of joy.

On the contrary, the woman from the Wang family came over with a happy face, stretched out her hand to help her wipe her tears, and then beckoned the women of the other two families, and laughed together: "Brother Cui has won Mr. Gu's appreciation, this is a happy event for our whole yard, we have no ability to be women, let's help Sister-in-law Cui buy some wine and food, let the men gather, and let the children have a good meal." ”

"Yes, a good ......"

Xie Yunshi finally turned around, and then hurriedly wiped her hands on her body, she hurriedly ran back to the house and moved out a big money jar.

Today, it is necessary to buy meat, to buy wine.

How long has it been since the family has eaten meat, and the thrifty Xie Yunshi doesn't remember.

It's been a long time since my husband has drunk alcohol, and I'm afraid I don't remember my husband who is reluctant to spend money.

But at this moment, Xie Yun's family gave up the money, she held the money jar, her face was full of joy, her eyes seemed to be about to cry again, and she hurriedly lowered her head and wiped it on her shoulder.

However, just as she was about to go out to buy food, she suddenly heard another sound of footsteps at the gate of the courtyard, only to hear a leisurely voice coming in faintly, and said with a smile: "Is it Cui Haoran's home?"
