Zhao Jianing entered the brigade headquarters and went straight into the office. The village cadres who were having a meeting there all looked at her.

The captain saw that it was the daughter of the Zhao family who had returned from the city and asked, "Daughter of the Zhao family, what's the matter?"

Zhao Jianing replied with red eyes: "Captain, can I use the village phone to call my adoptive parents?"

Someone nearby said, "If you want to use the phone in the brigade, you have to pay."

Zhao Jianing whispered, "I don't have any money right now, but my adoptive mother loves me very much. As long as I get through on the phone, they will send me money soon. I will pay back the phone bill, please."

A group of grown men couldn't embarrass a little girl, so Gao Jiefang said, "How about this, ask your father to come over. If he agrees, I'll let you beat him. If he doesn't agree, then I can't do anything about it."

Firstly, he was afraid that his good intentions might lead to bad results. Secondly, due to his close relationship with Luo Qiao, he did not want the girl from the Zhao family to make this call. After all, they all returned to their own places, and it would be nice if they did not disturb each other.

Zhao Jianing was a little embarrassed and said, "I came here today without telling my father. I believe all the uncles and aunts know my situation, but I really can't do farm work, so I just want to study.

But the money I brought back was burned, and my family can’t afford to support my studies. I can only ask my adoptive parents for help. Please help me.”

After a moment of silence in the room, an older man helped Zhao Jianing speak up, "Captain, it's just a phone call anyway. She also said she'll pay it back when her adoptive parents send money. She looks really pitiful."

A group of people looked at the captain Gao Jiefang, and Gao Jiefang said, "Go and notify Zhao Pulin."

He turned around, opened the phone box, asked Zhao Jianing to come over, and then left her alone.

Zhao Jianing dialed the number for a long time before she was able to get through to the commune. She needed to be transferred and waited for another long time before she called Ning Xueling's unit. As a result, Ning Xueling was not there, so Zhao Jianing started crying on the phone.

She also asked the person who answered the phone to tell her mother that she couldn't go to school here and she really couldn't stand it. Finally, she broke down and asked Ning Xueling to come and pick her up and take her back to Beijing.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Jianing, who was also a capable person, immediately calmed down. She felt that this was a rare opportunity, so she transferred the call to Luo Haotian's office. When the people in the brigade heard Zhao Jianing's address, they realized that Luo Qiao's biological parents were both cadres, so it was no wonder that Zhao Jianing cried like this.

Zhao Jianing could no longer control herself and said, "Dad, it's me, Jianing."

Luo Haotian on the other side paused for a few seconds and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Jianing said, "Dad, all the money I brought back was burned. Did my third and fourth brothers tell you when they went back? I can't even go to school now. Can you help me?"

As she spoke, she started crying again. In fact, Luo Haotian felt sad for a moment after hearing this. After all, he had raised his biological daughter for fifteen years, but she was still not close to them. If he gave Zhao Jianing hope now, he was afraid that his daughter would never return to this home.

So I made up my mind and said, "Jia Ning, I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter."

When Zhao Jianing heard the words coming from the other side of the microphone, she shouted angrily: "I have called you dad for fifteen years. Are you just going to watch me suffer and do nothing? How can you be so cold-blooded?"

Luo Haotian's cold voice came over: "My biological daughter has not been to school for more than ten years. Who should I tell about her suffering? You can't blame anyone else for all this. It's all your mother's fault."

After saying that, he hung up the phone, but he felt extremely sad in his heart, for his biological daughter Luo Qiao and Zhao Jianing. If his daughter hadn't met a kind person on the farm, she would have no future. But Zhao Jianing... Oh!

Suddenly he thought of something and called Ning Xueling's workplace. When he found out that Ning Xueling was not there, he asked, "Did anyone call her just now?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

I learned from that person that someone did call, but he didn't say who it was or what was said on the phone.

After Luo Haotian hung up the phone, he made a few more calls before starting back to the work at hand.
