He just wanted to go to the capital to see his daughter and grandson. How big of a deal was it? Why would God embarrass him over such a small matter?
Even God is not 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 she wasted two bus tickets. Several hundred dollars were enough for them.
The family’s living expenses for half a month.
"Okay, you can buy it if you want." She and Zijin also guessed that if they didn't catch up this time, Lao Qiao would not give up easily. But before it happened, Ding Jiayi had a little bit of expectations.
Qiao Dongliang was also a person who did what he said. He took his wallet and ran to the bus station again. Because this was the third time Qiao Dongliang came to buy a ticket from Pingcheng to the capital in a short period of time, the ticket seller made a fuss.
They all know Qiao Dongliang: "Comrade, this is your third time, what's going on?"
Didn’t you already buy the ticket yesterday? Pingcheng and the capital are coming and going one by one, and it’s impossible to do it in one day. What’s more, if you went yesterday and have to go again today, then why did you have to take the night bus back yesterday? The ticket is cheap,
Or do you have too much money at home and nowhere to spend it?
Qiao Dongliang smiled bitterly: "I was also unlucky. The first time I bought the ticket, I lost my ID card. Then I got a temporary ID card. Who knew, I overslept this morning and missed the train."
His money didn't come from strong winds, so how could he buy tickets every day? But when someone is unlucky, there's no telling what he can do.
The ticket clerk was speechless: "Then you are really unlucky. You lost your ID card and still missed the train because you overslept. Logically speaking, no, it's not like you took sleeping pills. How could you normally miss the train?
." There are actually very few cases of oversleeping and being unable to catch the bus.
The normal reaction of a normal person is that he knows that he has to rush for time the next day, so he cannot sleep too much that night. He sleeps very lightly at this moment and wakes up at the slightest movement.
The ticket seller just jokingly said that it was not possible to sleep like this without taking medicine, but Qiao Dongliang was stunned and felt that he had overslept today, which was a bit strange.
He had been resting very well these past few days. What's more, if someone of his age hadn't been feeling unwell, who would have slept until half past ten? Before waking up, he was sure that he had no intention of waking up at all.
, slept deeply. Normally, he had never slept so deeply. It felt wrong.
"Old comrade, you've got your ticket. Don't lose your ID card or oversleep. Your ticket will disappear for the third time."
Qiao Dongliang had already taken back his ID card and ticket. When he heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Then can I buy another one? I am a careless person, so I might really lose my ticket."
.”
"But..." Under normal circumstances, there is one ticket and one ID card: "Use your ID card for everything?"
"Yes."
"You can't take two seats alone." If this old comrade refunds the ticket temporarily, it will be the loss of their station's interests.
"It's okay. I told you, I'm careless. If I lose one ticket, wouldn't there be another one?" In other words, even if he buys two tickets, there will be no refund at that time.
.
Qiao Dongliang said this, and the other party could only agree: "Let it work." Anyway, she didn't have much money, so she spent four hundred to buy two tickets for one person to sit on. How could she stop someone else from paying for it? What's more,
It sounds like this old comrade is not very lucky. It is 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. As for the temporary ID card and the other ticket, he placed them on his clothes against his chest.
"Back from the station?" Seeing Qiao Dongliang like this, Ding Jiayi knew without asking that Qiao Dongliang had really bought the ticket: "Are you hungry? I made a lot for this lunch, let's eat together.
You don’t have to worry too much if Zijin is not at home. Besides, I don’t want to move back into our room. If you want to get angry, just do it. It’s nothing if we all have a meal together.”
"Okay." Qiao Dongliang thought for a while and agreed: "I just came back from outside. I am really too lazy to get food. I took advantage of you once and I will return it to you when I have the opportunity." Qiao Dongliang ate a few of Ding Jiayi's craftsmanship.
It has been ten years and I have become very accustomed to it.
After the two of them finished eating together, Ding Jiayi asked Qiao Dongliang: "You are tomorrow's car, 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,
I don’t like to stay at home and watch TV.”
"I have told everyone who needs to say hello. They know that I am going to the capital to see Nan Nan. It makes no difference whether I am at home or outside. It just so happens that I just watch TV. I don't think I have watched it for a long time." Qiao Dongliang today
I don’t want to run out at all. What if I get tired from running, fall asleep too deeply at night, and miss the time again?
As a result, the couple each had a chair, far away from each other, staring at the TV with two pairs of four eyes. During this period, the couple rarely communicated.
After sitting for about two hours, Ding Jiayi said: "I'm thirsty and I want some water. Do you want it?"
"No, I'm not thirsty yet."
"Sure, then I won't pour it for you."
After sitting for a while, it was almost five o'clock in the evening before Qiao Dongliang stood up: "It's getting late. I'll get something to eat and then go to bed. You can do whatever you want."
Watching Qiao Dongliang walk into the kitchen, Ding Jiayi's eyes flashed and she kept staring at Qiao Dongliang's room. When Qiao Dongliang finished 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 the couple prepared for themselves was not very complicated, so they prepared it 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 comments or reactions at all. She just sat and ate her own food. Her calm attitude seemed quite reassuring.
By ten o'clock in the evening, it stands to reason that both people in the Qiao family should have fallen asleep. At this time, Qiao Dongliang's door was gently pushed open, and Ding Jiayi looked in and called her twice in a low voice.
: "Old Qiao? Old Qiao!"
After shouting a few times, Qiao Dongliang not only did not respond, but seemed to turn over. Within a second, Qiao Dongliang's breathing became heavier and longer. (To be continued)
