Chapter 1628 Why Are You Calling?
Dabao: "..." I was saying bad things to you behind your back, how did you hear it? Funny Number Two.
Qiao Nan and Miao Liang brought out plates of hot dishes. Seeing the three of them quarreling again, Qiao Nan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, stop quarreling. Before washing your hands, call grandpa and remind him to eat well tonight. Tomorrow morning, you still have to continue to wish grandpa a happy new year."
"oh."
Dabao responded, picked up the phone, and dialed Qiao Dongliang's home. Before the phone rang a few times, the other end picked up the phone very quickly: "Hello, is this Nannan?"
Dabao raised his eyebrows. Wasn't it always the three of them that were the first thing his grandfather would ask when he picked up the phone?
"Grandpa, it's me, Dabao. Erbao and Sanbao are right next to me. Today is New Year's Eve, so the three of us are calling you. Grandpa, remember, today is New Year's Eve, you must eat more good food to stay healthy, don't be reluctant." Dabao knew that his mother had given his grandfather a sum of money, not just for one table. His grandfather wanted to set up three tables and invite people to eat together to liven up the party. This money was definitely enough.
"Yes, Grandpa, remember, eat more good food, order whatever you want. We eat one table, throw another table, we have money, we are so willful." Erbao joined in the fun. No matter what, his grandpa will eat this New Year's Eve dinner alone, unless grandpa is willing to invite outsiders to eat with him.
"Grandpa, I'll call you tomorrow to wish you a happy new year." Sanbao stretched his body and said something insincerely into the phone. Whether they like it or not, the three of them must complete the task assigned by their mother. Otherwise, they will feel sorry for their mother and worry that her mother will be sad. Secondly, their father will definitely punish them.
For the sake of her own butt, today is New Year's Eve, even though Sanbao is eccentric and has a bad temper, she vows to be a good child who listens to her mother. It's just a phone call to wish her a happy new year, it's not a big deal. She has no problem wishing her grandfather a happy new year for seventeen or eighteen years, let alone one.
"Oh, oh, okay, you, the three of you, remember to eat more and better during the New Year so that you can grow taller next year." Qiao Dongliang, who was sitting opposite him, seemed to be distracted for a moment, and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth: "Dabao, do you have anything else to say to Grandpa?"
The three children have already called him. Even though he can't celebrate the New Year with Nan Nan this year, what is there for Nan Nan to say to him today?
"By the way, mom is helping grandma serve the dishes now, so I'm doing it for her. Grandpa, my mom's greatest blessing is that you are in good health. She wishes you will be healthier next year than this year." Even if Qiao Nan hadn't said this, Dabao could have done it easily.
Thinking that after the three of them were done, Mom would definitely come over and say a few words to him, right? Grandpa was too sincere. If Mom had this thought, would she still use the card-punch method to pay for the New Year's Eve dinner for Grandpa?
"..." Qiao Dongliang was very disappointed. Today was the last day of the year, and he couldn't sit down with Nannan to eat. Nannan didn't even want to talk to him? Facing the cold silence in the room, Qiao Dongliang felt that his heart was colder than the winter in the capital.
The atmosphere at this time reminded Qiao Dongliang of the time when Qiao Nan had just brought him to the capital. He was at a loss when he first saw the unfamiliar capital. How did he adjust his mentality at that time?
He relied on Nan Nan, the child who always came to see him and brought her three children with her. With his family by his side, he felt a little sense of belonging to the capital, a strange city. Now, the child who made him feel a sense of belonging to the capital is no longer willing to pay attention to him. For a moment, Qiao Dongliang became confused.
Qiao Dongliang couldn't help asking himself, given the current situation, is it necessary for him to stay in the capital? However, if he doesn't live in the capital, can he go back to Pingcheng? You know, even if he returns to Pingcheng, he has nothing. He only has Qiao Nan as his daughter.
Normally, Qiao Dongliang was treated too well by Qiao Nan. Once such good treatment was gone, Qiao Dongliang truly felt how good Qiao Nan, who used to seem indifferent, was to him, a father who was not very responsible.
Because of Qiao Nan, the three children used to like him very much and were willing to come and play with him as their grandpa. On the contrary, he always knew that he had a granddaughter like Zhou Ying. Even when Qiao Zijin was still alive, when he brought Zhou Ying to the capital for the first time, Qiao Zijin remembered to bring his daughter to Qiao Nan to ask for benefits, but he forgot that he, as a grandfather, had never met Zhou Ying, his granddaughter.
Until Qiao Zijin passed away, Qiao Dongliang still had no idea what his granddaughter Zhou Ying looked like.
The difference is that in the first few years, Qiao Nan was studying in the capital, and the annual vacation was too limited. Even if there was some time, Qiao Nan had to spend it on taking care of the three babies. Who made the three babies so newborn at that time that they especially needed their mother.
Qiao Dongliang was too embarrassed to go to the capital to see his three children, but Qiao Nan actively showed him photos of the three children. When the three children were older and able to go out, he was able to hold the chubby bodies of his three grandchildren in his arms.
In this comparison, Qiao Nan, the daughter, is many times more competent than Qiao Zijin. The more Qiao Dongliang thought about it, the more he regretted it. He repeatedly warned himself not to let Qiao Nan worry about his daughter's affairs. How he wanted to help his daughter was his own business. But when the time came, why did he get confused again?
Qiao Dongliang was upset, and Ding Jiayi's situation was not much better than Qiao Dongliang's. After Qiao Zijin passed away, she didn't even have the chance to see her off for the last time. No matter how much Ding Jiayi comforted her, Qiao Zijin did this to avoid hurting her as a mother, but in fact, Ding Jiayi understood that Qiao Zijin really hated her as a mother and didn't want to be her daughter anymore.
How could her daughter, to whom she had given all her love, look at her like this, treat her like this?
Ding Jiayi didn't know how she had survived the entire Spring Festival. No matter how cold the winter in the capital was, it couldn't be colder than the coldness in her heart.
In February, Ding Jiayi couldn't help but call Qiao Dongliang.
When Qiao Dongliang saw that it was Ding Jiayi's call, he didn't want to answer it. He just saw that the phone kept ringing. Ding Jiayi seemed to be unwilling to answer it, so she kept calling until she answered. Qiao Dongliang picked up the phone and asked, "Why are you calling?"
