Chapter 42: Squeeze the subway
Ji Lian told Qi fans a lot of rumors about Russian hackers, and they didn't say goodbye until half past six.
However, Ji Lian lives near the school, and it is convenient to go home, while Qi Fan has to take the subway for 40 minutes to go home. She silently walked to the subway station, and couldn't help but regret sending a WeChat message three hours ago in the name of "there is a duty after school" to ask Anton not to pick her up.
Because they were all picked up and sent by car before, and suddenly they had to take the subway home, Qi Mi was really a little confused for a while. She opened the navigation app on her phone and found the location of the subway station, but how to walk there......
Qi Fan wandered around the neighborhood for nearly ten minutes and finally found the subway station. Going down from the escalator, the people in Wuyang and Wuyang below are all people who go home from work in the evening rush hour, and they are all out of the city. I finally passed the security check, swiped my mobile phone to enter the station, and then took the escalator down to the platform, and the team in the direction of the city was almost in front of the security gate in the opposite direction.
Qi fans had to be at the end of the line. Fortunately, after waiting for less than two minutes, a train came, but Qi Fan watched all kinds of office workers squeeze into the carriage, and the queue in front of him gradually shortened...... At a certain point, I can't even shrink back anymore.
Qi Mi was waiting in a hurry, especially now that it was past her time for dinner, she was really starting to get hungry. But so many people in front of me don't seem to be in a hurry at all, some are chatting with their companions, some are wearing headphones, and some are just swiping around with their mobile phones. Apparently they would rather pass by one train and wait for the next one to come, so they would be at the front of the line.
After all, when I go to work, I rush to clock in, and when I get off work, I am not so anxious. However, they are not in a hurry, Qi Fan is in a hurry. She had never caught up with such a time, and she felt very conflicted in her heart when she saw that the people in front of her would rather wait than squeeze forward. If you want to urge them to get on the car quickly, then they may be able to ask her to get on first, but to be honest, Qi Fan doesn't want to force herself into the carriage. She couldn't help but miss her family's car - even the old one, it was better to be stuck in the road than behind the security gate.
Finally got on the train when the next subway arrived, Qi Fan naturally had no seats, and was squeezed by people from front to back and left and right to the middle of the carriage, just standing in front of an old lady. After two stops, the old lady stood up and said to her, "Girl, sit here." β
"You sit, you sit ......," Qi Fan hurriedly replied.
"I'm off at this stop." The eldest lady said with a smile, "It's not easy for students now. β
Qi Fan sat down in this "precious" seat and watched the kind old lady squeeze out of the crowded carriage. In the place where she was standing, a little guy with a computer bag squeezed up, standing there numbly and swiping his mobile phone.
Qi Fan also took out her mobile phone, and after unlocking it, it was a red dot with a value of 23 on WeChat, as well as 7 missed calls.
She clicked on WeChat first, and saw that the 7 messages were all in her family's WeChat group, asking her where she was now and when she would be home. Qi Fan raised her head, glanced at the station name displayed on the roof of the carriage, and was just about to reply when another call came - it was her grandmother.
Qi Fan picked up the phone: "Hey, grandma? β
Over there, Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong immediately asked, "Good Mimi, where are you?" Grandpa picking you up at the subway station? β
"I've got to have ......," she counted quickly, "and nine more......
"Huh? What's going on, did you get on the wrong bus? Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong was a little surprised.
"It's not...... I'm justβ" she remembered, and the excuse was that she was on duty, "it's been a little longer." β
"Alas, you don't have to come back by yourself on duty in the future, and it's just a matter of waiting for a while to pick you up." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong felt sorry for her granddaughter, "Is there a seat on the subway?" β
"Yes." Qi Fan replied, "Grandma, leave me alone, I'll be here in a while." β
"Okay, Mimi, stay safe, don't fall asleep in the car." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong instructed, "Don't sit and stand, look at your bag." β
"Well, I know grandma......" Qi Fan said a little awkwardly perfunctory. However, she felt in her heart that her grandfather cared about her the most in the whole family. In contrast, her mother's attitude towards her was basically "free-range".
ββ
By the time Qi Fan finally got home, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening. She was already hungry halfway through, but she wasn't so hungry when she got home. At this time, Qi Min was rarely not in the upper brain body, but at the dining table, sitting with Anton and waiting for her to come back.
Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong and Mr. Qi Zhiguang came back with their precious granddaughter, and Anton hurriedly served tea and poured water for his precious daughter, and prepared all the hot meals.
Although Qi Fan was not very hungry, he still sat down at the table and began to eat. Qi Min watched her eat, and when she was almost halfway there, she seemed to casually ask, "What trouble have you encountered after being on duty for so long?" β
Qi Fan "chuckled" in her heart, she couldn't help but regret going to the cafΓ© with Ji Lian today. If you don't go to the cafΓ© to drink milk tea, maybe because it's too cold outside, the two of them can finish talking casually. Anyway, I didn't have a chance to go to the brain-like body today, and it was a bit of a waste to spend so much effort on simply exchanging information.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Qi Fan whispered, "That's it...... Because the class health inspection has deducted points, I have to clean it more thoroughly today. β
"Is that what it is? How did it drag on for more than an hour. Qi Min asked in a very calm tone - although the "peace" she understood was still a bit abnormal to Qi fans.
At this time, Qi Fan finally remembered that her mother was worried about her "early love" before. However, it is definitely impossible for her and Ji Lian, they are going to do a big thing, and the things that love and love with those little girls are not at the same level at all.
"That's why I've been mopping the floor for a long time." Qi Fan lied quietly. In fact, she basically didn't panic, especially with such a specific content, and she lied face-to-face so close to her parents.
However, she still had a bit of a count of her mother's "polygraph" level, knowing that her mother could hardly tell that the person on the other side was talking nonsense - as long as what was said was logical.
But Qi Min's excuse is not logical in Qi Min's opinion. Qi Fan hasn't done much physical work at home, so he doesn't know what the concept of mopping is. When I was in elementary school, the teacher in the class taught the students to be considerate of their parents, and let the boys with great strength go home to help their parents mop the floor, and the girls with relatively little strength went home to wash the dishes. But in fact, it doesn't take an hour to mop the floor of their classroom.
Qi Min glanced at her daughter silently. After deciding that Timimi will become the "sole administrator" in the future, she has to start thinking about changing the way she educates her daughter.
