Chapter 2150 The 2nd Time
He just wanted to go to the capital to see his daughter and grandson. It was no big deal. Would God make it difficult for him on such a small matter?
Even God would not be so lenient.
Ding Jiayi's face was bitter. So, does Lao Qiao still have to buy bus tickets? In fact, Ding Jiayi was already in pain because of wasting money on two bus tickets. Several hundred dollars was enough for 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 they didn't catch up this time. It's just that before the incident happened, Ding Jiayi had a little expectation.
Qiao Dongliang was also a man who would do what he said, so he took his wallet and ran to the bus station again. Because this was the third time Qiao Dongliang had come to buy a ticket from Pingcheng to the capital in a short period of time, the ticket sellers all knew Qiao Dongliang: "Comrade, this is your third time, what's the situation?"
Didn't you buy the ticket yesterday? It's impossible to go from Pingcheng to the capital in one day. What's more, if you went there yesterday and have to go again today, why did you have to take the night bus back yesterday? Is it because the tickets are cheap, or is it because the family has too much money to spend?
Qiao Dongliang smiled bitterly: "It's also my bad luck. The first time, I bought the ticket, but lost my ID card. Later, I got a temporary ID card. Who knew that I overslept this morning and missed the train." His money didn't come from the wind, so how could he buy tickets every day? But when he is unlucky, he can't say it. What can he do?
The ticket staff was speechless: "Then you are really unlucky. Not only did you lose your ID card, but you also missed the train because you overslept. Logically, it shouldn't be possible. It's not like you took sleeping pills. How could you miss the train?" Examples of people missing the train because of oversleeping are actually rare.
The normal reaction of a normal person is that they know they have to hurry up the next day, so they can't sleep too deeply that night. This time they slept very lightly, and would wake up at the slightest movement.
The ticket seller just joked that it was impossible to sleep so deeply if he wasn't taking medicine, but Qiao Dongliang was stunned and felt that he overslept today, which was a bit strange.
He had rested very well in the past few days. Moreover, at his age, who would sleep until half past ten and then wake up unless he was feeling unwell? Before waking up, he was sure that he had no intention of waking up at all, and he slept very deeply. Normally, he never slept so deeply, and it felt wrong.
"Old comrade, take your ticket carefully. Don't drop your ID card. If you oversleep, you will lose your ticket for the third time."
Qiao Dongliang had already collected his ID card and ticket. Hearing this, he couldn't help asking: "Can I buy another one? I'm a forgetful person. I might lose my ticket."
"But..." Generally, one ticket is used for one ID card: "Use your ID card for all?"
"Yes."
"You can't take two." If this old comrade returns the ticket temporarily, it will be the interests of their station that are lost.
"It's okay. I said, I'm careless. If I really lose one ticket, don't I have another one?" In other words, even if he bought two tickets, he would not return the tickets at that time.
Qiao Dongliang said so, and the other party could only agree: "Okay then." After all, she didn't have much money, so she spent 400 to buy two tickets for one person. How could she afford other people's money? Moreover, 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 her wallet, and put the temporary ID card and the other ticket on her clothes close to her chest.
"Are you back from the station?" Seeing Qiao Dongliang's look, Ding Jiayi knew without asking that Qiao Dongliang had really bought the tickets: "You must be hungry. I cooked a little too much for lunch. Let's eat together. You don't have to mind if Zijin is not at home.
Besides, I don't want to move back to our room. If you want to make a fuss, just make a fuss. It's nothing for us to have a meal together." "Okay." Qiao Dongliang thought about it and agreed: "I just came back from outside. I am indeed a little lazy to prepare food. I'm taking advantage of you this time, and I'll return the favor when I have the chance in the future." Qiao Dongliang has been eating Ding Jiayi's cooking skills for decades and has long been accustomed to it.
After the two of them finished their meal, Ding Jiayi asked Qiao Dongliang: "You are on tomorrow's bus, 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 have already told everyone who needs to be greeted. They know I am going to the capital to see Nannan. It doesn't make any difference whether I am at home or outside. It's just right, I can watch TV. I don't think I have watched it for a long time." Qiao Dongliang didn't want to go out at all today. What if he was too tired and slept too deeply at night and missed the time?
So, the couple each had a chair, far away from each other, staring at the TV with four pairs of eyes. During this time, the couple rarely communicated with each other.
After sitting for more than two hours, Ding Jiayi said, "I'm thirsty. I want some water. Do you want some?"
"No, I'm not thirsty yet."
"Okay, I won't pour it for you then."
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 flashed and she kept staring at Qiao Dongliang's room. When Qiao Dongliang prepared the food and brought it out, Ding Jiayi returned to normal, "Okay, you're done, it's my turn. I'm hungry too."
The dinners that the couple prepared for themselves were not very complicated, so they were prepared very quickly. Ding Jiayi hadn't come out of the kitchen yet, but Qiao Dongliang had already finished eating.
Seeing that Qiao Dongliang had 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 food. 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 low voice: "Old Qiao? Old Qiao!"
