Xu Jing raised an eyebrow. "Was that a call from your father? For your older brother and sister?"
Meng Fuyan shrugged. "Yeah! They're still locked up, and their adult children are all here. Wu Guozhu can't just sit idly by. Knowing that I have a good relationship with Brother Gu, he naturally came to find me. I have something to ask him. You guys can go too and be my witnesses."
Xu Jing was a little puzzled. What was he supposed to witness?
However, he would naturally help Meng Fuyan if she asked him for help.
So, Meng Fuyan took Xu Jing, Fu Chaosheng, and her younger brother Meng Yunji to the brigade headquarters.
The telephone has been installed right at the brigade headquarters. The brigade leader has been feeling quite smug lately because of this telephone; even the shock of the dead hunters during the winter hunt isn't so depressing anymore.
Although the weather has been cold lately, the brigade leader, the scorekeeper, and the brigade accountant still prefer to stay at the brigade headquarters.
I can do nothing but look at this phone and feel happy.

“I heard from your sister that you built a new house in the countryside with a separate yard and cement floors inside. You’re doing very well! Much better than your sister and the others.”
"Not good!" Meng Fuyan's voice was cold. "This is the countryside. The houses I used to live in all had wooden floors. The weather in the north is especially cold. It wasn't this cold when I was in the south. Now I've lost my job and can't go anywhere. I can only stay in the house all day."
"Besides, I've never done farm work before, but I'll be going to the fields next spring. This kind of life is far worse than before, what's so good about it?"
