Chapter 2143 The Second Time

He just wanted to go to the capital to see his daughter and grandchildren. It was no big deal. Why would his grandfather make things difficult for him over such a matter?

Even the master can't be so lenient.

Ding Jiayi's face was bitter. So, in this case, did Lao Qiao still have to buy bus tickets? In fact, because of wasting money on two bus tickets, Ding Jiayi was already in great pain and had to pay several hundred dollars, which was enough to cover their family's living expenses for half a month.

"Okay, buy it if you want." She and Zijin also guessed that Lao Qiao would not give up easily if he didn't catch up this time. But before it happened, Ding Jiayi had a little expectation.

Qiao Dongliang was a man who did what he did, so he took his wallet and ran to the bus station again. This was his third time to buy a ticket from Pingcheng to the capital in a short period of time, and the ticket sellers knew him. "My comrade, this is your third time. What's the matter?"

Didn't I buy the ticket yesterday? It's impossible to go from Pingcheng to the capital and back in one trip. What's more, I went there yesterday and I have to go again today, so why did I have to take the night bus back yesterday? Is it because the ticket is cheap, or is there too much money at home?

Qiao Dongliang smiled bitterly: "It's my bad luck. The first time, I had already bought the ticket but lost my ID. Later I got a temporary ID, but who knew that I overslept this morning and missed the bus." His money didn't come from the wind, so how could he buy tickets? But he couldn't help himself when his girlfriend got sick. What could he do?

The ticket agent was astonished: "You are really unlucky. Not only did you lose your ID card, but you also missed the train because you overslept. Logically, that shouldn't be the case. It's not like you took sleeping pills, so how could you miss the train?" Examples of people missing the train due to oversleeping are actually rare.

I slept normally and reacted normally, knowing that I had to hurry up the next day. It was impossible for me to sleep too deeply at night. I slept particularly lightly at this moment and would wake up at the slightest movement.

The ticket seller was just joking and said that if he hadn't taken any medicine, it would be impossible for him to sleep so soundly. However, Qiao Dongliang was stunned and felt that it was very strange that he had overslept today.

He had a very good rest these days. Besides, at his age, who would sleep until half past ten if he wasn't feeling unwell? Before waking up, he was sure that he had no intention of waking up at all. He was sleeping very deeply. Normally, he never slept so deeply. It felt wrong.

"Old comrade, make sure you hold on to your ticket. Don't lose your ID card. If you oversleep, your ticket will be lost the third time."

Qiao Dongliang had already collected his ID and ticket, but upon hearing this he couldn't help but ask, "Can I buy an extra ticket? I'm a forgetful person, and I might really lose my ticket."

"But..." Generally, one ID card is required for one ticket: "Your ID card is used for all?"

"Yes."

"You can't seat two people by yourself." If the old comrade refunds the ticket temporarily, it will be the interests of their station that will be lost.

"It's okay. I'm a careless person. If I really lost one, don't I still have the other one?" In other words, even if he bought two tickets, he would not refund them when the time comes.

Qiao Dongliang was already in such a state, so the other party could only agree: "Okay then." After all, she didn't have a lot of money, so she spent 400 to buy two tickets for one person. How could she afford to pay for other people's money? What's more, it sounded like the old comrade's luck was not very good, so it was necessary to buy an extra ticket just in case.

After buying the two tickets, Qiao Dongliang put one ticket and the money back into his wallet, and as for the temporary ID card and the other ticket, he placed them against his chest.

"Back from the station?" Seeing Qiao Dongliang's expression, Ding Jiayi knew without asking that Qiao Dongliang really bought the ticket: "You must be hungry. I cooked a lot for lunch. Let's eat together. You don't have to worry about Zijin not being at home. Besides, I don't want to move back to our room. If you want to quarrel, just quarrel. It's nothing for us to have a meal together."

“Okay.” Qiao Dongliang thought about it and agreed: “I just came back from outside, and I am indeed a little lazy to prepare food. I’ll take advantage of you this time, and I’ll return the favor to you when I have the chance in the future.” Qiao Dongliang has been eating Ding Jiayi’s cooking for decades and has long been accustomed to it.

After the two of them finished their meal, Ding Jiayi asked Qiao Dongliang, "You are Ming's car, and you still have half a day. What are you going to do? You can't stay at home all the time. You are different from me. You don't like to stay at home and watch TV."

"I've greeted everyone who needed to be greeted. They know I'm going to the capital to see Nan Nan. It makes no difference whether I'm at home or outside. It's just right that I can watch TV. I don't think I've watched it in a long time." Qiao Dongliang didn't want to go out at all today. What if he got too tired and slept too deeply at night and missed the time?

So, the couple each sat on a chair, far away from each other, with four pairs of eyes staring straight at the TV. During this time, the couple rarely communicated with each other.

After sitting for about two hours, Ding Jiayi said, "I'm thirsty and want some water. Do you want some?"

"No, I'm not thirsty yet."

"Okay, then I won't pour it for you."

After sitting for a while, it was about five o'clock in the evening when Qiao Dongliang stood up and said, "It's getting late. I'll get something to eat and then go to bed. You can do whatever you want."

Seeing Qiao Dongliang walk into the kitchen, Ding Jiayi's eyes flickered, and she kept staring at Qiao Dongliang's room. When Qiao Dongliang finished preparing the food and brought it out, Ding Jiayi returned to normal: "Okay, you're done, it's my turn. I'm hungry too."

The dinner that the couple prepared for themselves was not very complicated, so it was prepared very quickly. Before Ding Jiayi came out of the kitchen, Qiao Dongliang had already finished eating.

Seeing that Qiao Dongliang not only finished eating but also cleaned up and looked like he was going back to his room to sleep, Ding Jiayi didn't have any opinions or reactions. She just sat there and ate her own meal. Her calm attitude seemed quite reassuring.

By ten o'clock in the evening, the two people in the Qiao family should have fallen asleep. At this time, Qiao Dongliang's door was gently pushed open. Ding Jiayi looked inside and called out twice in a loud voice: "Old Qiao? Old Qiao!"

After shouting a few times, Qiao Dongliang not only did not respond, but also seemed to turn over. Within a second, Qiao Dongliang's breathing became heavier and longer.
