Yao Xiuli was surprised, "Brother-in-law, are you going to walk?"

Chu Tian said "hmm" and turned away. It was the busy farming season and the cattle and horses were too busy to lend it to him... But he didn't mind. He just needed an excuse to go out and get some meat out of the space, not to really go to the farm.

Chu Tian left the educated youth camp and went to the fields to find Captain Sun. "Captain, Xiujuan has given birth. I want to take a leave today to go to the farm to deliver a letter to Xiujuan's parents..."

Captain Sun was surprised. "Give birth? A son?"

Chu Tian nodded, "Yes, it was born, it's a son..."

Captain Sun waved his hands and said, "Then go quickly..."

After Chu Tian thanked him, he took a few steps when the captain called him, "Wait, how are you going?"

Chu Tian blinked, "I, I'll walk..."

Captain Sun frowned. "That would take quite a while to get there and back. Can you ride a bike?"

"meeting···"

Chu Tian nodded slightly. Although he had never ridden a 28-inch bicycle of this era, he still knew how to ride a bicycle. He thought it shouldn't be difficult...

Captain Sun took out a key from his pocket and handed it to him. "This is the company's bicycle. I used it this morning and didn't have time to return it. It's lying on the ground. You can ride it to the regiment."

"ah?"

Chu Tian was stunned. Bicycles in this era are equivalent to BMWs and Mercedes-Benzes in the 21st century. People are generally reluctant to lend them to others!

Captain Sun heard someone calling him from a distance and threw the key into Chu Tian's arms, "Go quickly..."

After saying that, he ran towards the person who called him.

Chu Tian hurriedly took the key, glanced sideways at the bicycle parked at the end of the field, and smiled helplessly. He had originally wanted to find an excuse to go out for a stroll and pick up some things to go home, but the team leader forced him to take a bicycle, so he had to go to the regiment...

Sighing, Chu Tian raised his foot and walked towards the end of the field. Just as he reached the side of his bicycle, Chu Tian heard someone calling him. Turning around, he saw that it was a male educated youth from the educated youth point, whose name seemed to be Li Jianmin.

"What do you want from me?"

Li Jianmin walked up to him with a proper smile on his face, "Brother Chu Tian, ​​I heard from the captain that you are going to the regiment, right?"

Chu Tian raised his eyebrows, "Yes, what do you want me to help you with?"

Li Jianmin was stunned by Chu Tian's direct question, then smiled and said, "I wrote two letters to my family. Can you help me mail them?"

"I don't have time to wait for you to go back and get it..."

Before Chu Tian finished speaking, Li Jianmin took out two letters and a dollar from his pocket and handed them to Chu Tian, ​​"I always carry the letters..."

“····”

He said so, how could Chu Tian refuse? Of course not!

“That’s a lot of money.”

Li Jianmin smiled and said, "The extra amount can be considered as a reward for Big Brother Chu Tian's hard work."

Chu Tian took the money and the letter and put them in his arms. He rode on his bicycle and glanced at him with a slightly raised eyebrow. "I'm just helping to mail the letter. There's no need for any hard work. I don't have any change on me. I'll give you the rest when I come back."

After saying that, without waiting for Li Jianmin's reaction, Chu Tian pedaled away on his bicycle...

Here, Chen Jiefang, who was also an educated youth, approached Li Jianmin and bumped his shoulder. "What's wrong? What did you say to him?"

Li Jianmin withdrew his gaze from Chu Tian's back, glanced sideways at Chen Jiefang, and said lightly, "Have you finished working on the land allocated to you?"

Chen Jiefang put his hands on his hips and said confidently, "Although I haven't finished it, compared with all the educated youth among us, I rank second. No one dares to be second!"

Li Jianmin smiled, "What about me?"

Chen Jiefang smirked like a lackey, "Of course you're number one, Brother Jianmin!"

Li Jianmin's face turned black and he glared at him fiercely, "Don't call me brother! We are only two months apart!"

Chen Jiefang laughed heartily, put his arm around his shoulders and walked towards the field. "Two months is also big! Tell me quickly, what did you just say to that Big Brother Chu Tian?"

"Don't say..."

"Speak..."

“Don’t say…”

"explain··"

"No··"

It was forty minutes later when Chu Tian arrived at the regiment on his bicycle. He parked the bicycle in front of the post office and locked it, muttering to himself that riding a bicycle was convenient and fast, so it seemed he had to buy a bicycle quickly.

A while ago, the woman from the city's supply and marketing cooperative sent him a letter saying that she had a bicycle ticket. She didn't want money, but she wanted ten kilograms of meat or ten kilograms of fine grain in exchange. According to the current prices of grain and meat on the black market, it really wasn't much. At least it was much cheaper than what he had asked Sun Weiguo and Li Gang to inquire about. Although he was not short of money now, he didn't want to be taken advantage of...

It’s just that farming is very busy right now, so I feel embarrassed to ask for leave to go to the city to get it!

In addition to sending a letter to Li Jianmin, Chu Tian also wrote a letter to Yao Xiujuan's parents. Even if he couldn't tell them in person the news of his daughter's successful delivery, he had to write a letter to inform them!

He took the change and receipt, said thank you, turned around and prepared to leave.

At this time, the staff lady called out to him, "Hey, comrade, are you from the Third Battalion of the Seventh Company?"

Chu Tian, ​​"Yes."

The lady on staff smiled and said, "What a coincidence! I have a letter for your brigade. Can you help me take it back? The courier has been too busy recently. It's been stuck for several days and I haven't had time to deliver it..."

Chu Tian nodded slightly, "Okay."

Most people of this era were relatively simple and honest, and it was common to ask someone from a group to help take other people's letters or other things back!

The staff member quickly found the letter and took a quick glance at it. She found that the name of the recipient on the envelope looked very familiar. She looked closely and saw that it was familiar. This was her letter!

"Haha, you don't need me to take it back..."

The older staff member looked at Chu Tian puzzledly, "What do you mean?"

Chu Tian laughed and shook the letter in his hand, "This is a letter sent to me. I am Chu Tian..."

The staff lady was surprised, "Really?"

"Yes, it was sent from my hometown..."

Chu Tian nodded, opened the letter immediately, scanned the contents, bought envelopes, letter paper and stamps from the staff lady, and borrowed a pen. He immediately leaned over the counter and started writing back. After finishing quickly, he put the letter in the envelope, glued it with the glue on the counter, and handed it to the staff member.

"Thank you, comrade..."

The lady staff member put the envelope into the mailbox nearby, smiled and waved, "Hey, why are you being so polite? We are all here to serve the people!"

“Yes, yes…”

Chu Tian smiled, turned around and walked out of the post office, pushing his bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative. Chu Tian thought that since he was already there, he might as well take a look around and see if there was anything he needed to buy.
