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.

Gu Qingyao knew that her third elder brother would definitely help her.
