Chapter 71: Writing A Letter To Third Elder Brother (2/2)

Gu Qingyao smiled and said, “That’s right! I have something to ask my third elder brother.”

Gu Qingyao could not recall the man’s name, but remembered that he was a friend of one of her cousins, possibly Third Elder Brother.

The man laughed. “What a coincidence. I’ll send your letter for you! I’m on leave for a couple of days and not sending anything. I’m off to the provincial capital on some business and I’ll pass your letter to your third elder brother.”

Now Gu Qingyao finally remembered that this man was indeed a friend of her third elder brother. In fact, they were classmates!

Although she could not recall his name, Gu Qingyao knew who he was. He worked in the provincial capital’s post office and was responsible for delivering parcels. Actually, he was a postman.

In these times, a postman was a decent job with a stable income.

Gu Qingyao immediately smiled. “Thank you!”

Gu Qingyao handed him the letter. It would be faster to send it with him than sending it by post.

The man laughed good-naturedly. “You’re welcome. I’ll be back in a few days. If your third elder brother writes a reply, I can bring it to you.”

That was great.

Gu Qingyao smiled and thanked him. After he left, Gu Qingyao changed her appearance again and went to buy a bicycle.

In these times, a bicycle was a big purchase. Gu Qingyao had enough money on hand, but needed a bicycle coupon to buy a new bicycle. Actually, Gu Qingyao had two coupons.

Mo Beihan had given her one of them, and her eldest brother, Gu Jinye, had given her the other. Both of them wanted to buy her a bicycle, but she did not want one.

She was only a teenage country girl. She did not have a job and had not yet grown up. If she had a bicycle, others would be jealous, especially the children of landlord families.

This time, Gu Qingyao did not buy a new one. Instead, she found a second-hand bicycle.

Gu Qingyao settled on a partly new ladies’ bicycle. A second-hand bicycle cost sixty dollars and did not require coupons.

Gu Qingyao bought the bicycle and rode it towards the city.
