Letter from Jiang Jun 2

  As soon as the bicycle stopped at the side, a villager curiously walked over, touched it and said, "This job is so good, the unit even provides bicycles to ride on the street, not to mention how cool it is!"

  "Look at this Fenghuang brand one! You see it? This one would sell for over 300 in the county town! It's ridiculously expensive. Don't even look at it, we can't afford something like that."

  Tian Wei went to the clear water ditch on the edge of the field and washed her hands, then ran over with a smile, "On such a hot day, it's troublesome for Uncle Postman to deliver mail from so far away, thank you!"

  "This kid is really polite. This is Uncle's job, it's only right. Besides, Uncle has a car, so he won't get tired from going anywhere." The mailman handed the thing to Tianyuan and didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave, directly sitting on the ridge, saying "On such a hot day, you're also helping out with household chores, you're really diligent. My daughter isn't as sensible as you are."

  "The poor kid has to grow up early, haha, my family is poor, so I have to be sensible and share the burden with my parents." Tianyuan had a selling clever meaning, took over the letter and looked at it, the signature on it was Jiang Jun, the few words of dragon flying and phoenix dancing clearly indicated that it wasn't written by him.

  "Who sent the letter? Could it be Jiang Jun?" Tian Biao walked over and asked curiously, then looked at the words on the envelope and said, "The handwriting on the envelope is unknown, but it's really beautiful."

  "It should be written by Uncle Jiang, Teacher Jiang's handwriting is definitely beautiful." Tianyuan weighed the package and found that it was also sent by Jiang Jun, but she didn't know what was inside.

  "It's been so long since you wrote a letter, I thought Jiang Jun had forgotten about you. Go take a look." Tian Ma Chun walked over and patted Tian Yuan's shoulder, then walked towards the bicycle with an infatuated expression, stroking the handlebars and tapping on the back seat, "This bicycle is really great, but it's just too expensive. Ordinary people like us can't afford it."

  "Yes, this is also a big improvement from our unit last year. In the past, when we delivered mail, no matter how far away the village was, we had to rely on our two legs to walk. Now it's finally getting better, with these roads and these bicycles, it's much easier, don't you believe me? Try riding one."

  "Shall we go?" Tian Ma Chun's heart itched as soon as he heard it. Seeing those people riding bicycles to work in the county town made him extremely envious.

  "What's wrong, Uncle? Just go ahead and try it out. I'll support you from behind. This bike is really easy to ride." The mailman also got excited and encouraged Tian Ma Chun to get on the bicycle and give it a try. "For us common people, we can't even think about those four-wheeled cars. Having this bicycle is already more than enough for us to be happy in this lifetime."

  Tian Wei just stood by and watched, hugging the package and letter with a smile. At that time, a Phoenix-brand bicycle cost over 300 yuan, which was equivalent to Tian Biao's monthly salary after working hard without eating or drinking. Few people in rural areas could afford it.

  At that time, the bicycle was clumsy and big, and children couldn't ride it at all. However, the chair behind the car could carry people, and the front beam of the bicycle could also seat a small child.

  In my impression, in the last life, our family was better off later on. We bought a bicycle, also a Phoenix brand one. My dad and grandpa were extremely fond of it. The two old men treated the bicycle like their wife, every day after riding it back home, they would use a cloth to wipe it clean bit by bit.
