328: Know the phone number here, or rather, directly connect to the military line.

"That's Meng Ning. She came to school this early too."

"I just heard a few female students from Class One and class two arguing."

"That Xiao Yu has such a terrible temper. She relies on her good family background to bully Gao Yao."

"Who told her she has a father who is a Deputy Division Commander and a Grandfather with stars on his shoulder?"

Hearing this, Xiao Niannian understood what Xiao Yu was relying on.

She's this arrogant just because of that?

If her dad and her grandpa both had stars on their shoulders, wouldn't she be flying high in school?

Xiao Niannian lowered her head and ate her meal.

After finishing her meal and washing her lunch box, Xiao Niannian followed them outside.

"Oh right, I need to call my family."

Gao Yao said with a smile.

"I need to go too."

Before long, they arrived at the Soldier Service Center. It was like the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, but it didn't sell as many goods.

A long queue had already formed near the phones.

"Niannian, although the Military Academy issues a lot of items, you still have to buy some things yourself..."

Lin Shi was the gentlest among the three classmates. Meng Ning was a bit arrogant, but didn't have much of a spoiled rich girl temper. Gao Yao was the tallest of the group and had the fieriest temper.

Xiao Niannian had already gotten a clear understanding of her classmates.

There were four telephones here, and students from the entire school used them to make calls.

Xiao Niannian also dialed her home number.

"Hello."

"Grandma."

On the other end of the line, Grandma Gu was extremely happy to hear her Granddaughter's voice.

"Precious, have you reported to the Military Academy yet?"

"Grandma, I'm calling you from inside the Military Academy right now."

"How is the school? Did you bring enough things? Should Grandma find someone to send you some? Your Little Aunt's Husband just arrived in the City Name for work these past few days..."

Little Aunt's Husband?

Is that the husband of the other daughter Grandparents adopted?

"No need to send anything, Grandma. I brought enough things..."

On the other end of the line, Grandpa Gu's voice sounded again.

"Precious, do you have enough money to spend? You didn't take back the money Grandparents gave you a few days ago..."

When Grandma Gu was cleaning the room, she saw that her Granddaughter had placed the money in the drawer in their room.

"Grandpa, I still have a lot of money on hand, enough to spend."

Xiao Niannian still had over ten thousand yuan on hand, and Grandparents had given her another two thousand yuan, but she didn't take those two thousand yuan.

After Xiao Niannian talked to Grandparents for a few minutes, she called her father.

"Hello."

"Niannian, Chief is still in a meeting right now. You might have to wait half an hour... Once Chief finishes the meeting, I will report to him immediately..." The person who answered the phone was her father's secretary, comrade Fu.

"Thank you, Brother Fu."

Xiao Niannian looked at her watch. It was currently 12:30 PM, so half an hour meant 1:00 PM.

After she finished the call, Meng Ning and the others walked toward Xiao Niannian.

"Niannian, did you finish your call?"

"I just called my dad. He can only call back in half an hour."

Xiao Niannian did not mention that her father was in a meeting.

Meng Ning and Gao Yao exchanged glances after hearing that.

Their families all had phones at home, or their parents had phones in their offices, so they called directly and didn't have to wait.

"Then we'll keep you company."

"That's right, half an hour will pass quickly."

"Exactly."

Xiao Niannian nodded upon hearing their words.

"Okay."

Before half an hour was up, a phone rang.

"Looking for Student Xiao Niannian?" The comrade at the Service Center was somewhat surprised after answering the call.

"Who is Student Xiao Niannian?"

Xiao Niannian walked over.

"I am Xiao Niannian."

"It's a call from your father."

The comrade at the Service Center looked at Xiao Niannian in surprise. This was the first time she had seen this student. Not many people knew the four phone numbers at the Military Academy. Student Xiao Niannian had just made two calls home, and yet the other side immediately called back directly. What did this indicate?

It indicated that the person on the other end held a high position, knowing even the school's phone number.

"Dad."

"Precious, have you arrived at the Military Academy? Your Brother Fu just told Dad that you called. I just finished the meeting, and Dad called you back immediately..."

"Yes, I'm here."

"How are things at the Military Academy? Have you met your classmates? Are they easy to get along with..."

Chief Gu asked many questions, and Xiao Niannian answered with a smile.

"The school is great, and the classmates are easy to get along with."

"Call Dad if anything happens. Dad will come visit you at school in a few days..."

"Okay."

"Eat well at school. Dad put some money and tickets in your backpack. Don't try to save money..."

Hearing this, Xiao Niannian laughed. She had also stuffed that money into her dad's bag.

"Dad, I know. You should also take care of your health."

"Oh right, your Eldest Brother and Second Brother will go to the City Name to find you these next few days."

Chief Gu said cheerfully.

"Eldest Brother and Second Brother?"

"Yes, they will go to the City Name to see you first, and then return to the Capital City..."

"Okay."

On the other end of the line, Secretary Fu's voice sounded again.

"Chief, the meeting starts in five minutes."

Hearing this, Xiao Niannian immediately said.

"Dad, I'll call you next time. I'm going back to the dormitory now."

"Okay."

Chief Gu was very reluctant, but he still had to attend the meeting.

After Xiao Niannian paid, she walked out of the Soldier Service Center.

"Niannian, did you finish your call?"

"Mhm."

Meng Ning looked at Xiao Niannian, and a guess formed in her mind.

When they called earlier, they all called their family members. Classmate Xiao had just arrived at school and didn't know the phone number for the Soldier Service Center, yet half an hour later, Classmate Xiao's father called back directly.

This indicated that Classmate Xiao's father was also a member of the Military Unit, knew the phone number here, or perhaps had a direct military line.

Furthermore, the fact that Classmate Xiao didn't attend school last semester, but came this semester, further suggested that Classmate Xiao's family background was extraordinary.

No matter how good Classmate Xiao's family background was, her own family background was also very good, so there was no need to mention it. They were classmates and comrades-in-arms; they shouldn't mix in other factors.

Lin Shi and Gao Yao didn't think about any of that. They enthusiastically introduced Xiao Niannian to the school's auditorium, training ground, and various other places... "Niannian, you're so thin, can you keep up with the training?" Gao Yao looked at Xiao Niannian and said with some doubt.

It wasn't surprising that she thought this. Xiao Niannian had cool, fair skin and a small frame, looking just like a high school student. When they first entered the school, there were also many with very fair skin, but after a semester of training, many people had tanned several shades darker.

"Yes."

Hearing the firmness in Xiao Niannian's tone, Gao Yao believed her.

"The training here now is even more intensive than the training in the Military Unit. Every day, we have not only various classes but also physical training..."

Gao Yao introduced the situation at the school.

"You didn't come to school last semester, I wonder if you can catch up."
