Chapter 2229: Flatterer
So, in order to make yourself feel more comfortable, it is not a luxury to take a taxi for only 100 yuan. It is what you should do.
"No need. I told you, if you want to take a taxi, just take one yourself. I bought a bus ticket for only thirty-two yuan, and changing two buses only costs four yuan. What's more, I have a senior citizen card, so it's free to take the bus. All in all, I only need to spend about thirty yuan to get home. Why should I spend a hundred? I'm old and retired, and my pension is not high, so I have to save money if I can. You are young and have a different consumption concept from me. If you want to take a taxi and are willing to take me with you, that's fine. If it's a fifty-fifty split, you can look for others. There are a lot of people at the airport. Who knows, you may find someone to share a ride with you."
Don't say that women change quickly, men change just as quickly.
Before the quarrel, Qiao Dongliang was willing to go AA. After the quarrel, Qiao Dongliang said that he could save at least 68 yuan of the 100 yuan. 68 yuan should be enough to buy a very small toy for his grandson. He has three grandsons. If he saves one small toy, he will naturally try to save two more. He loves all three children equally and will not favor one over the other.
When answering Qiao Zijin's question, Qiao Dongliang had already bought a bus ticket back to Pingcheng with his temporary ID card.
Qiao Dongliang finally figured it out. In the past, he was too easy to talk to and too willing to negotiate. Now, there is no room for negotiation. There is only one chance, and if you miss it, you miss it. If you don't want to, I'm not happy either. From now on, he will do whatever he wants. After
buying the next bus ticket, Qiao Dongliang no longer paid attention to Qiao Zijin, but ran to find the place where he would get on the bus. After finding it, he stood by the road and waited.
Qiao Dongliang didn't cooperate, Qiao Zijin's face turned blue, and she followed Qiao Dongliang helplessly and bought a ticket as well. Qiao Zijin originally wanted Qiao Dongliang to pay the 200 yuan taxi fare alone. Because she knew that this time when Qiao Dongliang came back from the capital, there was no way Qiao Nan would only give Qiao Dongliang money for a plane ticket. What's more, it's almost the New Year.
If Qiao Nan doesn't go back to Pingcheng, not only does he have to give money to Qiao Dongliang, but Ding Jiayi can't miss out. These two sums of money are all on Qiao Dongliang alone. Qiao Zijin has guessed that Qiao Dongliang's pockets are full enough, and it is impossible for him not to take out 200 yuan for a taxi.
As long as there is a bargain, even if it is from his own father, Qiao Zijin wants to take it. Later, if he can't take it, then just split the bill. Now, Qiao Dongliang said that he doesn't want to take a taxi and wants to save money. Qiao Zijin really has no choice.
It's not that Qiao Zijin is reluctant to spend 200 yuan on a taxi to buy a relaxing life. As long as Qiao Zijin thought about the more than 3,000 yuan she spent to stop Qiao Dongliang from going to the capital, she felt that the more than 3,000 yuan was the same as throwing it into the water. More than 3,000 yuan was spent, and there was no need to be reluctant to spend more than 200 yuan to buy a comfortable place for herself.
The problem was that when Qiao Zijin and Qiao Dongliang were chatting, they were in front of the public. People who were queuing to buy tickets heard the conversation between the father and daughter.
At this time, if Qiao Zijin was willing to pay 200 yuan to take a taxi without asking Qiao Dongliang, her biological father, it would be easy for people to gossip. However, if Qiao Zijin really had to pay for the ride, while Qiao Dongliang was left sitting there for nothing, Qiao Zijin would be particularly unhappy. She had always been the only one who took advantage of her family, so she would never let these people take advantage of her.
Isn't it just taking a car, changing two buses, and walking for a while? She just regarded it as exercising and losing weight, so who is afraid of who?
With the bus ticket in hand, Qiao Zijin and Qiao Dongliang not only got on the bus together, but also sat together. For more than an hour's journey, the father and daughter turned their heads to each other, and no one paid attention to each other, not even a word. This state continued until they returned to the Qiao family's courtyard.
"Old Qiao, you're back?"
"Old Qiao, your family just received a big package. I heard from my daughter that express delivery has stopped recently?"
"Old Qiao,
how is it, is the capital fun? By the way, has Nan Nan given birth?" The old neighbors in the compound knew that Qiao Dongliang went to the capital this time because Qiao Nan was going to give birth. Calculating the date, Qiao Nan should be about to give birth. Whether she gave birth or not, in fact, you should have guessed it when you saw Qiao Dongliang coming back. If Qiao Nan hadn't given birth, how could Qiao Dongliang come back at this time.
"Old Qiao, it's a rare opportunity to go to the capital, why don't you spend the New Year in the capital before coming back?" Now Ding Jiayi is the only one who is confused in the Qiao family. If Old Qiao stayed in the capital, at least he would have Nan Nan, an obedient and filial daughter by his side.
"There's nothing I can do. When people get old, they just miss home. There's no place better than home. After all, my roots are here. Have all the things arrived? My son-in-law helped me find the logistics, not express delivery, and I don't know when they will stop. There are a lot of things in it, some of which Nan Nan specially prepared for you. Wait a minute, remember to come to my house."
Qiao Dongliang smiled. When he knew that the express delivery was faster than him, Qiao Dongliang was really surprised. Isn't it said that the fastest one is SF Express? Send it today and it will arrive tomorrow. He came back by plane, so why did his things arrive earlier than his?
Qiao Dongliang had no idea that his package of things arrived in Pingcheng on an earlier flight than his, and then was transported directly to Pingcheng by car, without having to go around like a bus.
"Really?" Many people were surprised to hear that Qiao Nan had made it and still remembered his old neighbors. Many people only ate the wedding candy from Qiao Nan's wedding and didn't drink the wedding wine, so they had some thoughts in their hearts. They knew that although Qiao Nan was their North Courtyard child, they didn't have a good relationship with each other.
Now no matter what they said, it was too late. After Qiao Nan married to the South Courtyard, she had even less contact with the people from the North Courtyard. Everyone had already prepared for this, and when Qiao Dongliang said that Qiao Nan had prepared a gift for him, it was a real surprise: "Okay, go back and have a good rest, and we'll come to see you later."
No matter what gift the other party prepared, even if it was just some local snacks, it was always a token of someone's thoughtfulness.
As soon as Qiao Dongliang got home, he earned enough face for Qiao Nan. These people left empty-handed, but they kept saying that Nan Nan was really a good child and the pride of their North Courtyard.
