However, Ding Jiayi kept telling herself that Qiao Dongliang had just woken up, was listless, and was sluggish. It was normal for him to ignore people, otherwise why would he be called a patient? So it might be her own illusion.
But even Qiao Zijin said so, and Ding Jiayi felt a little uneasy.
"Okay, your dad is still sick, and the wound must be very painful. Your dad doesn't have the strength to speak, don't think too much." Touching Qiao Zijin's head, Ding Jiayi didn't know whether she was comforting Qiao Zijin or herself.
In the evening, one of the three mothers and daughters must go home, and someone must stay to take care of Qiao Dongliang.
Without waiting for Ding Jiayi to say anything, Qiao Dongliang spoke first: "Tonight, Nannan, you go back, Zijin stay to take care of me."
"Isn't that bad?" Ding Jiayi frowned. She wanted Qiao Nan to stay. After all, Old Qiao had already woken up, and the first person Old Qiao saw when he woke up was Zijin. Zijin wouldn't have to work so hard next time: "Zijin stayed up all night for you yesterday. Today, I'll switch shifts with Qiao Nan. Tomorrow, tomorrow night, Zijin will come to see you."
Ding Jiayi's original plan was to let Qiao Zijin stay until Qiao Dongliang woke up.
After Qiao Dongliang woke up, of course, the job of taking care of Qiao Dongliang was thrown to Qiao Nan.
Qiao Dongliang suddenly asked for a request, which caught Ding Jiayi off guard.
In the past, at the Qiao family, all "small matters" like this were arranged by Ding Jiayi alone. Qiao Dongliang never expressed his opinions, let alone took the initiative to make any requests. What happened today?
Could it be that because the first person Old Qiao saw when he woke up was Zijin, he really paid attention to Zijin because of that brothel plot?
Ding Jiayi was a little unsure and was stunned. She didn't know how to react or how to arrange it.
"Well, then I'll stay tonight." Ding Jiayi didn't say anything, Qiao Zijin spoke first.
"Zijin, are you okay? You didn't sleep much last night." Ding Jiayi said a little anxiously.
"I..." Actually, Qiao Zijin was tired and sleepy. The most important thing was that it was summer now, and she had been guarding Qiao Dongliang for a whole day. Qiao Zijin had sweated a lot, and her whole body was sticky and uncomfortable. She just wanted to go home and take a good shower.
But her father had already asked, and if she didn't stay, what would the other people in the ward think?
Qiao Nan was filial, and she was also a good daughter!
"Dad, how about I stay?" Qiao Nan never had any hope for Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin. Qiao Zijin was not happy, but Qiao Nan was willing: "Dad, should I stay?"
Her father's condition was more critical the day before yesterday, and Qiao Zijin really watched her father all night yesterday. In fact, if she was guarding her father today, she didn't need to stay awake all night like before, and she could still take a nap.
"No, you go back." Qiao Dongliang said very insistently: "Zijin, will you stay or not?"
Qiao Zijin was stunned, and immediately replied: "I will definitely stay. But Dad, can you do this, I will go home right now, change clothes and then come to take over Nannan's shift?"
"Okay." Qiao Dongliang nodded, which was considered an agreement.
Ding Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief and asked Qiao Zijin to go back quickly. Of course, she took the opportunity to go home to have a short rest and recuperate before coming to the hospital.
After Qiao Zijin left, Ding Jiayi sat down beside Qiao Dongliang's bed and said, "Old Qiao, what happened to you today? Do you know that you scared Zijin just now? You..." Ding Jiayi hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to describe Qiao Dongliang just now.
"What happened to me just now?" Qiao Dongliang asked Ding Jiayi.
"No, nothing." Ding Jiayi shook her head repeatedly. Old Qiao is a patient, isn't it enough that the patient is the most important? Qiao Nan, the dead girl, got a good deal, and Zijin did all the hard work.
While Qiao Dongliang was talking to Ding Jiayi, Qiao Nan peeled an apple for him and carefully cut the apple flesh into small pieces to make it easier for him to eat.
In fact, not only Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin thought Qiao Dongliang was weird, but Qiao Nan also felt the same way.
Although her father refused to let her stay and rejected her in a very blunt manner, Qiao Nan did not feel any negative emotions of disgust.
But Qiao Nan was a little confused as to why her father suddenly became like this.
It was three hours later when Qiao Zijin came back from her trip.
Even in summer, it was still dark outside at eight o'clock.
"Are you okay?" Ding Jiayi asked with concern. In fact, after dark, Ding Jiayi regretted it. If she had known earlier, she should have accompanied her eldest daughter on this trip. The society is not as peaceful and safe as before. What if Zijin encountered something on the road and was bullied?
"It's okay, what can happen?" Qiao Zijin said in a bad mood.
After she returned home, the first thing she did was to wash herself clean, then get something to eat, and then fell on the bed and slept for two hours.
But on the way here, Qiao Zijin sweated again, and her clothes were so wet that they stuck to her back, which meant that the previous bath was in vain. Qiao Zijin was of course in a bad mood.
"Do you want me to stay with you tonight?" Ding Jiayi quickly grabbed a towel to wipe Qiao Zijin's sweat and served her.
Ding Jiayi's attitude towards Qiao Zijin was three times more attentive than when she was taking care of Qiao Dongliang, just like serving an ancestor.
"No, you have to go to work tomorrow." Qiao Zijin refused. If her mother didn't go to work, she wouldn't get paid. If her mother didn't get paid, how would she pay the tuition when school started?
Although she had previously planned to rely on the Zhu family to find a good job after graduating from high school, she still wanted to graduate from high school: "You have to stay with me. I will definitely not be in good spirits for work tomorrow. Mom, you and Qiao Nan go back. I can do it alone."
Being so concerned about her eldest daughter, Ding Jiayi smiled: "Okay, you take good care of your dad. Mom will go back first."
"Nan Nan, you should go back too." Seeing that Ding Jiayi was just walking alone without taking Qiao Nan, which was completely opposite to the nervous look of Qiao Zijin just now, a "Chuan" character appeared on Qiao Dongliang's forehead, and he just reminded Qiao Nan: "Be careful on the way back, take the main road, don't take the small road."
"I know, Dad, I'll go back then." Qiao Nan nodded and got up and left.
As soon as Qiao Nan left the hospital, she was stopped by Ding Jiayi who had left first: "Let me ask you, have you and your father told your sister anything behind my back?"
