Chapter 1405: Chapter 1405: Tears of Joy 1

Just after hanging up with Ye Zhengjun, Lu Jiang received a call from Jiang Yun.

He was also told the news that Zhao Dapao could return home for convalescence. The Lu and Jiang families were in-laws; naturally, Jiang Yun was aware of the relation between Lu Jiang and Zhao Anbang, knowing Xibao was Zhao Anbang’s godson.

Often, phone calls would be a step faster than the issued telegrams.

In the Capital, senior officials usually get the news faster than telegrams.

Ye Zhengjun had many connections, so he received the news ahead of time, as Zhao Anbang had once been his subordinate. Although not many people knew of Lu Jiang’s current connection with Zhao Anbang, one knowledgeable person was enough, especially since the document had already been issued. It was just an ordinary document, not a telegram, so it would take some time to reach Northwest Farm.

After ending the call with Jiang Yun, Lu Jiang immediately dialed Cheng Baoguo’s number.

"Uncle San, is Anbang there? If he is, let him take a call, and if he’s not, have him call me back immediately when he returns!"

Cheng Baoguo heard the urgency in his voice, as if there was something very important, "Don’t rush to hang up, Anbang is here, I’ll call him over."

Zhao Anbang quickly came over and picked up the receiver.

"Ajiang, what’s going on?"

Upon hearing Zhao Anbang’s voice, Lu Jiang said with a smile, "Hurry home and pack your bags, you’re setting off immediately."

"Setting off for what? You better make it clear, don’t leave me hanging, you were never like this before. Have you changed after not seeing each other for a few years? I’m tired from frequent business trips, what matter requires me to set off again? I never get to see you guys each time." Zhao Anbang was also frustrated, "At least Xibao stays at home for a long stretch, I can visit my son when I’m free."

Lu Jiang could not help but say, "Xibao went with my father to the Capital for Tianjun’s wedding, he’s not home right now."

Zhao Anbang was suddenly at a loss for words.

A moment later, he said weakly, "Go on, what do you want from me?"

"It’s good news about Old Zhao Uncle, do you want to hear it?" Lu Jiang still beat around the bush, not saying it directly.

"My father?" Zhao Anbang’s spirits lifted, "My father’s good news? Could it be that the government has reinstated his job?"

If Ye Zhengjun, after being demoted, could return to his job, then his father should have a chance too, right?

A glimmer of hope arose in Zhao Anbang’s heart.

Lu Jiang said seriously, "As for reinstating his job, we’ll have to wait for an opportunity. But now, Old Zhao Uncle can return home for rest and recuperation. I heard from Comrade Jiang Yun that Old Zhao Uncle’s old comrades worked behind the scenes on his behalf, noting that Old Zhao Uncle is advanced in age, frail and sickly, and can hardly bear the current labor intensity. Considering his remorse and earnest participation in reformation through labor, they permitted him to return home to recover."

"That’s enough, that’s good enough, as long as he can come back, being able to return home is most important!" Zhao Anbang had visited his aged father; that place was not fit for living. Returning home was more important than any job.

Lu Jiang smiled faintly, "As long as he can return, everything else can be discussed in the future. When the news came from the Capital, the documents were already sent. It’s a done deal. You set off immediately, and by the time the document reaches the Northwest Farm, you should also be there. That’s it for now, I have to go home. Zhuangzhuang is sick, and his mom is alone at home taking care of them."

He paid close attention to the time, realizing it was time to call it a day.

While Lu Jiang was talking, Zhao Anbang nodded repeatedly, "I got it, I’ll remember. Don’t worry, I’ll ask for leave and set out right away. Wait, you said Zhuangzhuang is sick? How is he? Is it serious?"

"He has a fever, don’t worry about it, I can’t talk any longer, I have to hang up now!"
