Chapter 2229 Flatterer
So, to make yourself feel more comfortable, it is not a luxury to take out only 100 yuan to take a taxi. That is what you should do.
"No, I said, if you want to take a taxi, you can take one yourself. I only buy a bus ticket for 32 yuan, and it only costs 4 yuan to change two buses. What's more, I have a senior citizen card, and I don't pay for the bus. In total, I only need to spend about 30 yuan to get home. Why should I spend 100 yuan? I am old and retired. My pension is not high, so I have to save 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 half and half, you can look for others. There are a lot of people at the airport. Who knows, you may find someone to share a car 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 out of the 100 yuan. Sixty-eight 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. He used to be 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. In the future, he will do whatever he wants.
After buying the ticket for the nearest bus, Qiao Dongliang no longer cares about Qiao Zijin, but runs to find the place where he gets on the bus. After finding it, he stands by the road and waits.
Qiao Dongliang doesn't cooperate, Qiao Zijin's face turns green, and she follows Qiao Dongliang helplessly and buys a ticket. Qiao Zijin originally wanted Qiao Dongliang to pay the 200 yuan taxi fare alone. Because she knew that Qiao Nan would not give Qiao Dongliang only the money for a plane ticket when Qiao Dongliang came back from the capital this time. Moreover, it was almost the New Year.
If Qiao Nan did not return to Pingcheng, not only would he have to give Qiao Dongliang money, but Ding Jiayi would also have to pay. The two sums of money were all on Qiao Dongliang alone. Qiao Zijin had guessed that Qiao Dongliang's pockets were full enough and it was impossible for him not to take out 200 yuan for a taxi.
As long as there was a bargain, even if it was from his own father, Qiao Zijin wanted to take advantage of it. Later, if he could not take advantage of it, then he would split the bill. Now, Qiao Dongliang said that he would not take a taxi to save money, and Qiao Zijin really had no choice.
It was not that Qiao Zijin was reluctant to spend 200 yuan on a taxi fare 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 just like throwing it into the water. She had already spent more than 3,000 yuan, so why would she be reluctant to spend more than 200 yuan to buy something comfortable for herself?
The problem was that when Qiao Zijin and Qiao Dongliang were chatting, they were in public. People who were queuing up to buy tickets heard the conversation between the father and daughter to some extent.
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 about her. However, if Qiao Zijin really paid for it and Qiao Dongliang rode for nothing, Qiao Zijin would be particularly unhappy. She had always taken advantage of her family, so she would not let these people take advantage of her.
Isn't it just taking a car, changing two buses, and walking a distance? She just regarded it as exercising and losing weight, who is afraid of who.
With the bus tickets, Qiao Zijin and Qiao Dongliang not only got on the bus together, but also sat together. For more than an hour, the father and daughter turned their heads to one side, neither of them paid attention to each other, not even a word. This state continued until they returned to the Qiao family courtyard.
"Old Qiao, you are back?"
"Old Qiao, your family just received a big package. I heard from my daughter that the 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 will give birth or not, in fact, you should have guessed it when you saw Qiao Dongliang coming back. If Qiao Nan didn't give birth, how could Qiao Dongliang come back at this time.
"Old Qiao, it's rare for you to go to the capital, why don't you spend the New Year in the capital before coming back?" Now the whole Qiao family is left with Ding Jiayi, who is confused. If Old Qiao stayed in the capital, at least he would have Nan Nan, an obedient and filial daughter.
"No way, when people get old, they just miss home. No place is better than their own home. After all, their roots are here. Have the things arrived? My son-in-law helped me find the logistics, not the 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, remember to come to my house."
Qiao Dongliang smiled, and when he knew that the express delivery was faster than him, Qiao Dongliang was really surprised. Isn't it said that the fastest is SF Express, which will arrive tomorrow if it is sent today? He came back by plane, so why did the things arrive earlier than him?
Qiao Dongliang didn't know that his package of things arrived in Pingcheng on an earlier flight than him, and then was transported directly back to Pingcheng by car, and didn't need to go around like a bus, which was not enough, but had to go around again.
"Really?" Many people were surprised to hear that Qiao Nan had made it big and still remembered their old neighbors. Many people only ate Qiao Nan's wedding candy and didn't drink the wedding wine, so they had some thoughts in their hearts. They knew that although Qiao Nan was a child of their North Courtyard, 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 in the North Courtyard. Everyone had already made this preparation. Now they heard Qiao Dongliang say that Qiao Nan had prepared a gift for them. This was really an unexpected surprise: "Okay, go back and have a good rest. Wait a minute, we will go to see you."
No matter what gift the other party prepared, even if it was just a little local snack, it was always a token of someone's memory of you.
As soon as Qiao Dongliang arrived 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.
