“Alright, if you really want to return, hurry up and pack your things. Take the plane home with me. You have to know that there are a lot of rich people nowadays. Many people are willing to fly.” Qiao Dongliang heaved a sigh of relief when Qiao Zijin showed weakness and shared that she was willing to return to Ping Cheng. If Qiao Zijin really wanted to stay in the capital to celebrate the new year, he would really have a huge headache.

“You’re forking out the money for the plane ticket?” Anyway, she couldn’t bear to buy a plane ticket.

Qiao Dongliang nodded. “Yes!” Qiao Dongliang was helpless as well. In such situations, wouldn’t it generally be the children buying plane tickets for the parents? He already didn’t need Zijin to help buy his plane ticket. Zijin wasn’t even willing to pay for her own plane ticket. Indeed, Zijin was different from other children. She completely couldn’t compare to Nan Nan.

If he had to count on Zijin’s filial piety, he’d rather count on him being healthier so that he wouldn’t fall sick easily. His life would be better that way.

Qiao Dongliang had already said that he would be paying for the air ticket. There was nothing for Qiao Zijin to linger on. She hurriedly packed her bags. She didn’t bring a lot of clothes over when she came to the capital. Prices in the capital were high. The selling price for the same piece of clothing in the capital was two to three times more than Ping Cheng’s. Furthermore, Qiao Zijin wanted to finish a big plan in her heart. How would the busy her have the time and effort to shop for clothes?

As such, although she had been in the capital for more than a month, Qiao Zijin didn’t have a lot of luggage. It was the same as when she had left for the capital. Since she didn’t shop indiscriminately, her packing speed was naturally fast.

Qiao Zijin couldn’t bear to leave the house that she had lived in for more than a month. She didn’t know when she would be back. It was just that if she didn’t leave today, she wouldn’t be able to continue living in this place. If this house became her private property one day, she would definitely not leave the capital again.

“What else are you looking at? Let’s go.” Qiao Dongliang felt both helpless and angry when he saw the reluctance in Qiao Zijin’s eyes. Houses in the capital were expensive. Would expensive things not be good? However, no matter how good it was, it didn’t belong to her. Zijin shouldn’t have too many ideas. She always set her eyes on other people’s things. He didn’t even dare to believe that Qiao Zijin was already forty-two years old this year and had received higher education. An obedient child wouldn’t have been so shallow like Qiao Zijin. A young child would know that he couldn’t take things that weren’t his own.

Could it be that he and Ding Jiayi really didn’t teach Zijin such simple reasoning before?

“Oh.” Qiao Zijin replied dryly. She pulled along her luggage and followed behind Qiao Dongliang to rush to the airport together. Qiao Zijin was lucky. There were still empty seats in the plane that Qiao Dongliang was boarding. Qiao Dongliang swiped his card and gave Qiao Zijin a plane ticket. Of course, it wasn’t cheap.

Seeing that Qiao Dongliang swiped his card to buy an air ticket and that he didn’t even blink when buying such an expensive ticket, Qiao Zijin found it strange. “Dad, did you make it big?” He was so generous. Also, her dad actually bought a plane ticket!

“Make it big?” Qiao Dongliang twitched his lips and laughed dryly. “Do you think I would still have a chance to become rich in this lifetime after providing for a daughter like you?” Yes, he was just a retired old man. How would he have the money to buy plane tickets? The money wasn’t his. It was provided by his younger son-in-law, Zhai Sheng. Of course, Qiao Dongliang knew that this must be what Qiao Nan wanted.

If Qiao Zijin insisted on staying in the capital and was up to no good, Qiao Nan and the Zhai family wouldn’t keep her company and would just let her die by herself. If Qiao Zijin was still smart and was willing to return to Ping Cheng, then they were willing to fork out the money for the plane ticket.

His elder daughter was full of dishonest thoughts and his younger daughter was feeling troubled by his elder daughter. Qiao Dongliang, who was caught in the middle, couldn’t do anything. However, in the face of such a situation, Qiao Dongliang knew that he had to stand on his younger daughter’s side and bring his elder daughter home. If his elder daughter didn’t mean to cause his younger daughter trouble, he could just leave them alone.

After receiving the boarding pass, Qiao Dongliang stuffed it in Qiao Zijin’s hands. “Take your own boarding pass. This luggage isn’t too big or heavy. Carry it yourself instead of shipping it. I heard that if you do shipping, you might have to wait for your luggage for a long time.” Anyway, Qiao Dongliang was empty-handed and didn’t need to carry anything back.

“Got it.” The person who spent money called the shots. No matter what, Qiao Dongliang was the one who spent his money on this air ticket. At this time, Qiao Zijin wouldn’t be at odds with him. When Qiao Zijin boarded the plane and saw that only such a short time was used to bring her to her destination of Ping Cheng, Qiao Zijin said to herself that the next time she went to the capital in the new year, it would be for that five to ten million yuan.

She definitely didn’t want to take the train and make her buttocks suffer. She wanted to take a plane, just like today. She was someone who was going to earn five to ten million yuan. Could it be that she couldn’t even afford a plane ticket?

After knowing that Qiao Zijin returned to Ping Cheng with Qiao Dongliang, Qiao Nan blinked and didn’t have much reaction. Sometimes, Qiao Zijin could still be considered as someone who understood the times. After all, her dad forked out the money and Qiao Zijin only had to return to Ping Cheng obediently. Furthermore, Qiao Zijin took the plane this time around.

“Aunt, look at the chubby Er Bao. When drinking milk, the flesh on both sides bulged. My hands are going to be itchy again.” Jiajia loved watching the triplets drinking milk.

Qiao Nan wasn’t young anymore and her body wasn’t in tip-top condition. Aside from before the full-month celebration, where Qiao Nan tried to feed her three children breast milk for a month, the Zhai family stopped giving them breast milk after that. Thankfully, the triplets weren’t picky. Aside from the first day where the ‘flavor’ was changed for the three children and they threw tantrums because they weren’t used to it initially, they immediately adapted to it the next day.

Although they were still young, they would consciously place their soft hands on the milk bottle when they were drinking, as if guarding against anyone who would snatch their milk away halfway.

Upon hearing Jiajia’s words, Zhai Hua reacted strongly. “Er Bao is drinking his milk well. Don’t create trouble.” If poked by Jiajia, Er Bao would spit out the milk in his mouth. Among the three children, Er Bao was the most bad-tempered. If they really disturbed Er Bao from drinking milk, his crying sound would simply bring down the house.

When Er Bao cried, it was as if Da Bao and San Bao were telepathic and would cry along as well.
