Chapter 2155 Face
"Sure, don't worry. I'll call or send you a text message as soon as my dad gets home. It's so early in the morning, do you want to sleep a little longer?" Ding Jiayi also knew that Qiao Zijin basically didn't have the habit of getting up early. He woke up at six o'clock and worked for another hour and a half. Qiao Zijin should be more tired now than when he started: "How about you sleep a little longer. No matter how anxious you are, don't worry about today. There’s no need to wait for an hour or two.”
"No." Qiao Zijin scratched his hair, his face looking worse than yesterday. There was nothing she could do. It was so early in the morning, she didn't even eat, she was still hungry, and the 3,600 yuan in her pocket was wasted. After being so stimulated, Qiao Zijin knew that he wouldn't be able to sleep if he lay back down, and he might even get angrier because of lying in bed. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
In this case, she might as well get up quickly and do whatever she needs to do.
If the Zhai family and Qiao Nan get results earlier, she can comfort herself that the 3,600 yuan spent this morning was not in vain.
"Okay, get up, and remember to have breakfast. If you don't take good care of your body, you won't be able to do this. In Qiao Nan's case, the doctor can't tell when she will give birth, so don't bear it. Nothing can happen. It's not as important as your health. We spend a small amount of money now so that we can make a lot of money in the past." Ding Jiayi can imagine how high prices are in the capital. Just looking at the prices in Pingcheng, she knew that prices really changed every year.
Every time she heard the boss say how much the price of a certain dish would increase, Ding Jiayi would complain a lot. In the past, country people and mud-legged people were looked down upon. But now, vegetables grown in the countryside are more expensive than meat. Therefore, the more rural people are, the richer they are now. What's wrong with this world, it's really strange that city people can't keep up with country people.
"Well, I hung up." A lot of money was wasted. Qiao Zijin now wanted to save money on the phone bill and didn't want to waste any more. What's more, she is now in the capital, calling her mother. That is an inter-provincial call, which is extremely expensive.
After being stimulated enough, Qiao Zijin finished washing up as fast as he could, then looked at his suitcase and began to hesitate again. What if you don't succeed once? There was no other way, so Qiao Zijin simply didn't check out and rented the hotel for three more days. If it succeeds, no matter what, she will come back to check out.
Qiao Zijin thought that the sooner he could get in touch with Qiao Nan, the better. On the other hand, Ding Jiayi was no longer in the mood to watch TV and kept walking in circles at home. She looked to see if there was any movement at the door of her house, and then stared at the clock on the wall of her house, calculating that Qiao Dongliang, who couldn't buy a ticket, should be back. At this time, she would be somewhere. It's been an hour, let alone taking a taxi, even if it was by bus, we should have waited until we got home. How about she just go to the bus station to pick up Lao Qiao?
Thinking that Qiao Dongliang had been busy three times and failed to go to Chengdu every time, Ding Jiayi felt guilty when facing Qiao Dongliang, because it was all her "good deeds".
Out of a desire to make amends, Ding Jiayi actually ran to the bus stop and kept staring at the bus, waiting for Qiao Dongliang to appear in front of her.
Unexpectedly, one, two, or three cars passed by, but Ding Jiayi didn't see Qiao Dongliang getting out of the car. When Ding Jiayi came back to her senses and took out her phone to check the time, she realized that in the blink of an eye, it was already nine o'clock.
It's been an hour and a half since the 7:30 bus. No matter how long it takes, Qiao Dongliang should have arrived home. How could he never show up? Ding Jiayi frowned. Could it be that she misunderstood, or that Lao Qiao didn't take the bus at all and took a taxi back, so Lao Qiao was already at home and the two of them just missed it?
After thinking about it, Ding Jiayi hurriedly ran home again, opened the door and saw that the house was empty. There was no one alive except herself: "Old Qiao? Old Qiao, are you back? Are you at home?" Enter Qiao Dongliang. When I looked at the room, it was as tidy as when Qiao Dongliang left in the morning. As for the luggage bag that Qiao Dongliang took away,
He was not in the room at this time either.
All these circumstances prove that Qiao Dongliang has not come back at all.
Ding Jiayi was anxious. After taking out her mobile phone, she didn't call Qiao Zijin, but directly called Qiao Dongliang: "Old Qiao, please answer the phone quickly. You won't encounter any accidents on your way back." , Are you in the hospital? Come on, Old Qiao, pick up the phone."
Qiao Dongliang didn't have a ticket, so he couldn't get on the bus or go to the capital, so he had to go home. What's more, Lao Qiao didn't know what she did, so how could Lao Qiao not come back at this time? Unless something unexpected happened to Old Qiao when he came back, and he couldn't come back. If this is really the case...
Ding Jiayi couldn't help but feel scared. Compared with Qiao Dongliang, everything could be solved in other ways. Ding Jiayi is afraid that something might happen to Qiao Dongliang. What should she do? If she had known this, she would not have hidden Lao Qiao's ticket and simply let Lao Qiao go to the capital, which would not necessarily have been a big problem.
As long as Qiao Nan agrees, what's the use if Lao Qiao objects alone.
The phone rang about a dozen times, and when Ding Jiayi was about to give up in despair, Qiao Dongliang finally answered it. Qiao Dongliang's voice was a little hoarse, as if someone had just woken up after falling asleep. In fact, Qiao Dongliang had just woken up and was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone: "Hello?"
"Old Qiao, it's me. Where are you now? Are you okay?"
“…” Qiao Dongliang yawned, glanced at the scenery outside the car window, and rubbed his eyes: “Where can I be? I’m going to the capital to see Nannan today. Don’t you know this? It’s a several-hour drive. Of course, I’m on the bus to the capital now.”
Looking at the empty seats in the back row, Qiao Dongliang felt that this world was quite funny. Just like what the driver said, there are poor people and rich people, and the world of the rich is something that ordinary people can’t understand.
The departure time of this bus was ten minutes later than the scheduled time, and Qiao Dongliang almost waited anxiously. He was afraid that Ding Jiayi would suddenly come out and pull him off the bus in the ten minutes of delay, preventing him from going to the capital.
People at the station said that this bus to the capital was very popular and all the tickets were sold out. The strange thing was that after the time came, no one came for the last eighteen tickets sold. After all, it was eighteen tickets, thousands of yuan. For these thousands of yuan, everyone should give some face and wait a little longer.
