"As for other things, they are our adults' business." Miao Liang nodded in agreement. Miao Liang valued Qiao Nan's studies more than Qiao Dongliang and hoped that Qiao Nan could study hard.
"Hey." Qiao Nan responded. After carrying the salute onto the train with the help of Shi Qing, she waved to Qiao Dongliang and Miao Liang, watching their figures become more and more beautiful as the train moved. Small until invisible.
Even though it is summer and not the Spring Festival travel season, there are still many people on the train, probably because of going back to school or something.
Thanks to Shi Qing, Qiao Nan and Shi Qing's two tickets were sleeper berths, so they could lie down and rest.
Both of them are on the bottom bunk, facing each other, so they don't have to work hard to climb up and down.
After Shi Qing put down her bows and sat down, she said, "Why do I feel that Uncle Qiao's face looks weird today, he is in a bad mood, and he doesn't want you to leave?"
Qiao Nan smiled bitterly: "It's strange that my dad is in a good mood."
"Why?" Shi Qing didn't understand: "Is it your mother or Qiao Zijin who is back? No, I didn't hear the news. You haven't encountered any trouble recently. Why is Uncle Qiao unhappy?"
"Because of the Zhai family." Qiao Nan rubbed her temples with a headache: "After I got engaged to Brother Zhai, Aunt Miao almost didn't want to take over my whole life. She knew that I was going to go to the capital to go to school. , clothes, boxes, Aunt Miao took care of everything for me. Just do the math, in these half a month, if I hadn’t insisted, Aunt Miao would have wished I had stayed at Zhai’s house to accompany her. When Aunt Miao opened her mouth, she didn’t ask someone to give it away I’m going to the capital, so I’ll buy a plane ticket for me and pay my mother-in-law properly.”
Shi Qing glared: "Aunt Miao is so kind to you, but Uncle Qiao is not happy for Mao. It makes no sense. Is it possible that he is happy because Aunt Miao treats you badly?"
Qiao Nan sighed again: "To put it bluntly, there are only two words, face, all because of face. My dad divorced my mom, and I am the only relative around me. Brother Zhai and I got engaged so early, in my dad's heart You are not very willing, and you know it. With my father's current ability, he has to queue up to buy me a seat ticket. With the help of your family, I have a sleeping ticket, but if I use the help of the Zhai family, I will not take a special car. Just by plane.”
And none of this was something her father could afford.
Not everyone can think so openly about their daughter being adopted by someone else's family and accept it with peace of mind.
At least Qiao Dongliang, who has considerable self-esteem, cannot do this.
Shi Qing looked enlightened: "No wonder you insist on taking the train. You co-wrote it to take care of Uncle Qiao."
"That's my biological father. Of course I have to take care of my father's feelings." Qiao Nan poured a mouthful of cold water into her throat that was about to burst into flames: "Forget it, just bear with it. As long as I think about it after I arrive in the capital, , I am a college student at Peking University, I can endure any kind of hardship and survive it!"
Things that could only be accomplished in dreams in the previous life could be accomplished in reality in this life. When Qiao Nan thought of Peking University in the capital, her heart surged and she was extremely excited.
"But Qiao Nan said it again, you can't do this. No matter how hard Uncle Qiao works, can he still compare with the Zhai family? If Uncle Qiao can't overcome the obstacles in his heart, it will definitely not work if you keep taking care of him like this." Shi Qing Qingli opened the fruit box that Qiao Nan had prepared and put in the refrigerator, took out a small tomato, and stuffed it into his mouth in one bite. It was so comfortable.
Qiao Nan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Shi Qingle with joy: "Why are you so anxious? Your dad is still here, isn't he?"
"My dad, what does it have to do with my dad?"
"My dad's original plan was that he wanted to go to the capital with me, and I agreed." However, not long ago, her dad changed his mind and proactively said that he would not go to the capital and would continue to work in Pingcheng.
Shi Qing pointed to her nose: "You mean, it's my father's fault that Uncle Qiao changed his mind and stayed in Pingcheng?" Why didn't she know anything about what happened
Qiao Nan nodded affirmatively: "It was definitely Director Shi who persuaded my dad."
"Director Shi persuaded my dad to stay. You can definitely see my dad's feelings for the Zhai family. With your dad here, I feel relieved about my dad. My dad has no other abilities in his life. As long as others say , he thinks it makes sense and is quite willing to listen.”
In the past, her father always listened to her mother's words, but now, her father began to listen to Director Shi's words.
She is really used to being a soldier, and her father likes to listen to the leader.
Shi Qing raised her eyebrows: "Have you told my dad?"
"What kind of person is Director Shi? You need me to tell you?" Qiao Nan said happily: "I take care of his daughter, and he advises my dad for me." This is a tacit understanding that does not require communication.
"..." The corner of Shi Qing's mouth twitched: "It's not yet certain who will take care of whom. Don't say it too soon. Maybe we, father and daughter, will take care of you, father and daughter. Don't forget, my grandpa and grandma And my mother is all in the capital, and I am back to my base camp."
Not only was Qiao Nan not angry, she said easily: "Then, when you arrive in the capital, please show your attitude as a host and take good care of me as a guest."
"..." Shi Qing was so angry that she couldn't say anything: "You are really good at climbing along the pole."
"We don't have to be so clear about who is who. That day you let Qiu Chenxi into my house, didn't I care about you and tell Brother Zhai?"
Shi Qing leaned back and lay on the bed, refusing to communicate with Qiao Nan anymore.
It's so annoying to deal with such smart people.
Shi Qing closed her eyes to rest, while Qiao Nan stared blankly at the book in her hand.
Qiao Nan just mentioned that Qiao Dongliang was unhappy. There was one thing that Qiao Nan didn't tell Shi Qing in detail, but she knew it.
The reason why her father was depressed was that when she got on the train today, Brother Zhai didn't come to see her off.
As a civilian soldier, Brother Zhai was on a mission and could not come back to see her off. Her father understood, but as a father, he could not understand. Her father is conflicted in his heart, and he will probably have to struggle with this for a long time.
Thanks to Shi Peng's presence, Qiao Nan felt relieved to leave. At least when Qiao Dongliang couldn't figure it out, Qiao Nan knew that Shi Peng would definitely influence Qiao Dongliang's development in a good direction.
Zhai Sheng did not come to see Qiao Nan off today. As a person involved, although Qiao Nan was a little disappointed, her mood was much more restrained than Qiao Dongliang's.
Qiao Nan knew what Zhai Sheng did from the beginning and the nature of Zhai Sheng's work. Qiao Nan had heard Qiao Dongliang say it since she was a child.
For this reason, Zhai Sheng did not show up today. At least on the surface, Qiao Nan did not look strange at all. She could still take care of Qiao Dongliang's feelings and insisted on taking the train to school to balance the delicate relationship between Qiao Dongliang and the Zhai family.
