Chapter 71: Writing A Letter To Third Elder Brother
She went to another black market and only stopped after trading for an inkstone, a copybook, and over two hundred dollars in cash .
It was about ten o’clock in the morning and it was still early .
Gu Qingyao decided to make a trip to the city . After all, there would be even more fine items in the city’s black markets .
But first, she needed to buy a bicycle .
And before that, she needed to post a letter .
She had written a letter to her third elder brother, Gu Jinlin, who lived in the provincial capital . She asked him to find a way to get her father to make a trip to the provincial capital, returning only just before the new year .
Her elder and second uncle all lived in other areas that were rather far away . Her third uncle’s family lived nearest to them .
Gu Qingyao knew that her third elder brother would definitely help her .
All the grandchildren in their Gu family were boys, except her father, who had two daughters . Gu Ruoqing had been unlikeable from a young age, as she was lazy and rude, just like Zhang Xiaohui .
In the past, she had been obedient and mature . She had quietly done her chores at home and helped the adults with their work . Also, her father had always doted on her, so later on, everyone in the family became used to doting on her too .
After all, considering how she behaved in the past, everyone had thought of her as the most obedient and lovable girl .
So everyone in the family doted on her, whether it was the grandparents, the uncles, or the elder cousins .
This time, she had asked her third elder brother for help and he would certainly agree .
She resumed her normal appearance and took her already-written letter to post, but ran into someone near the post office . This young man smiled and greeted Gu Qingyao when he saw her . “Little Sister Gu!”
Gu Qingyao was startled . This man was in his twenties and his skin was rather swarthy, but looked pleasant and honest .

She thought he looked familiar, but momentarily could not recall who he was .
“Are you posting a letter?”
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 .
