Chapter Thirteen: Raising troops to investigate crimes
"Dad, what are you doing?"
As soon as Mark handed the fish to the hotel for processing, Ma Li's video came over.
"I'm ready to eat, Lily, what are you doing?"
Mark really missed his daughter whom he hadn't seen for a few days.
"I'm at grandma's house. Grandma asked me to make a video call for you." Ma Li moved her phone and showed Mark clearly that she was in the courtyard of the courtyard.
"Your grandma asked you to make a video call, but you didn't think of making one for your dad and me?"
In order to avoid Ma Li asking Mark why he didn't call, Mark chose to strike preemptively.
In fact, father and daughter are separated from each other occasionally, and they are quite happy, so they don't bother to contact each other.
"You were on a 'business trip'. You finally went out once, but I kept calling you to make you worry about what you were doing at home?"
As expected, Ma Li forgot to pursue Mark, but the emphasis on the word "business trip" was a bit strange.
"Lily, you two, stop talking. Give me your phone and I'll take care of it."
Then Ling Mingyu's voice came from the phone.
"Hey, Mom, are you fine?"
"I'm good for what I am, but you're so successful now that you ran out without even saying hello. Even a mother like me doesn't know where she is."
A lot of resentment can clearly be heard in Ling Mingyu's words.
This video was broadcast with the intention of accusing Mark and settling scores.
"Mom, I'm not Manao. A five-year-old child has to report to his parents wherever he goes. I'm already forty, don't I even have the right to go out on my own?"
Mark suppressed the smile on his face.
If Ling Mingyu had this attitude, Mark would not stop smiling.
Mark was not so satisfied with this old lady who couldn't tell the difference between closeness and distance.
Feelings are mutual. Ling Mingyu has always disliked Mark. Of course, it is impossible for Mark to get close to him.
"You can go on a business trip, but you can't go on a business trip when. How can you celebrate Ye Ye's birthday if you have to go on a business trip on Ye Ye's birthday?"
Ling Mingyu said a few words, and Mark basically understood the situation.
Mark was "on a business trip", which was obviously an excuse made by Ma Li.
Ma Li emphasized the word just now to remind Mark.
Ling Mingyu's resentment comes from Mark not being able to celebrate Tian Ye's birthday, which is somewhat unreasonable.
"Mom, please understand one thing. Ye Ye's birthday happens once a year. Business trips have only happened once in my more than ten years of work."
Ling Mingyu already had this attitude when Ma Li helped him lie on a business trip.
If Ma Li said that Mark ran away to travel on his own, it seemed possible that Ling Mingyu would not want Mark as her son.
"You said you are too. You, a physical education teacher, are on a business trip. Are you done with your work? Can you come back in the evening?"
"I can't come back. I'm busy right now. It's thousands of kilometers away. How can I just go back just as I say?"
Although it only takes a few hours to fly back, and it is not easy to buy air tickets during holidays, Mark is not stupid, so of course it is impossible to go back.
"If you can't come back, then you must remember to buy a birthday gift for Tian Ye. Buy some more expensive jewelry and be sincere."
Ling Mingyu may not be able to figure out whether she is Mark's biological mother or mother-in-law.
"I'm busy on a business trip, let's talk about it when we get back." When he saw Wang Xiaomi coming back from the bathroom, Mark hung up the video.
There are many things that are not appropriate to talk about in front of outsiders.
Otherwise, Mark would still like to discuss with Ling Mingyu why this person can take such a biased position.
Although Mark doesn't really care how Ling Mingyu treats him.
But Ling Mingyu was the only one out of all the ladies Mark met who was abnormal.
I still want to find out the reason for this contrast clearly.
It's an experience anyway.
"Did you video chat with your family?" Wang Xiaomi asked, watching Mark put away his phone.
"Well, my daughter and my mother."
"Do you only have one daughter?"
"Two, and a son."
If Wang Xiaomi hadn't asked, Mark would have forgotten Manao.
It is quite reassuring to leave my son to Tianye.
There is no chance of any problems in terms of safety and life, except for the risk of some sons calling someone else their father.
"Is your son living with your ex-wife?"
"You're not stupid either."
Wang Xiaomi may be considered unintelligent, but he is not stupid either.
"How can I not see such a simple thing? You are videotaping your mother and daughter and your son is not here, so he must be with the mother. How old are your children?"
"My daughter is fifteen and my son is five."
"You're still quite young now. Can your daughter help take care of your son?"
"I'm sure, my daughter spends more time with his brother than I do." Mark nodded affirmatively.
"This daughter of yours sounds very sensible. She is not like a little girl I met in the hospital some time ago. She must be about the same age as your daughter. She has a bad temper. She smashed billboards on the roadside when she was in a bad mood.
Already."
Unfortunately, the negative example given by Wang Xiaomi was Ma Li.
In fact, Ma Li cannot be blamed for smashing the billboard.
It doesn’t matter who is printed on the billboard, it has to be Zhao Ling.
Ma Li happened to be angry again, so she could only say that she was not unfair.
"Do you think it might be the billboard's fault? It has nothing to do with whether the girl has a bad temper or not?"
Mark had to say a few words for Ma Li. Even if Wang Xiaomi didn't know that it was Ma Li, Mark would still say it for her.
"That's not impossible. I had a little chat with that little girl. She is a very gentle little girl."
Wang Xiaomi's impression of Ma Li is actually not bad.
Otherwise, Wang Xiaomi wouldn't be able to help Ma Li so much when the two of them were in the office.
"That's the fault of the billboard. If there is a scumbag on it, don't say that the little girl wants to smash it, you have to smash it if you see it. As you know, anyone can do it as long as they pay for the billboard.
Come on." Mark said firmly.
"How come you understand everything as if you saw it with your own eyes?" Wang Xiaomi asked in surprise.
"Even if you haven't seen it, can't you do a reasonable analysis?" Mark deceived Wang Xiaomi, and the three problems are not big.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes, the little girl herself is quite good. It's just that maybe the family is a single-parent family with an irresponsible father who doesn't care about her.
People are not educated well."
Wang Xiaomi is also really good at making connections. He didn’t know anything about the situation, so he put the blame on Mark’s head.
Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that Mark didn't receive the call from the police station that day.
"What's wrong with single-parent families? Single-parent families offend you, eat from you, or drink from you."
Mark is still a little sensitive to this now.
Mark himself belongs to a single-parent family, and now his two children have become a single parent again.
"Why are you trying to teach people a lesson? I don't mean to discriminate against single-parent families. I come from a single-parent family myself."
"and you…"
"I followed my mother. When I was three years old, my father died."
There is another reason why Wang Xiaomi likes to play with Mark.
This girl has not had a father since she was a child, so she lacks fatherly love.
It's not surprising that I like older, mature men.
It is normal for a person who lacks father's love to like an uncle, and a person who lacks mother's love to like an aunt.
Of course, many people choose this way not because they lack some kind of love, but because they simply don’t want to work hard.
"Then you are almost the same as me. I am also a single parent. I lost my father when I was very young."
Compared to the situation where someone ran away, it is really not that easy to say.
Just like Si Zhu never found it easy to say that He Daqing ran away with White Widow.
"So we are all the same. It is impossible for me to discriminate against children from single-parent families."
"If not, just be stricter in what you say. If your child doesn't want it, blame it on the family."
This belongs to Mark's life experience.
Children's growth is related to family education.
However, children educated in the same family environment can be completely different.
"Why do you like teaching people so much? Why do you want to be a physical education teacher? You should be a dean."
Even if he could listen, Wang Xiaomi's words would not be forgiving.
"If you are not the dean, I will help you correct your mistakes without delay." Mark took the dish from the waiter and continued:
"Don't you work in a pet shop? Why do you always talk about being in the police station? Are you familiar with the police station?"
Mark was indeed a little curious about whether Wang Xiaomi was a frequent visitor to the institute.
"Then didn't I encounter an unexpected situation? It's like you went to the institute right after you got off the plane. Can you say that you like going in? It's all the trouble that comes to me. It's not me who takes the initiative to cause trouble."
Wang Xiaomi's argument of evading the important and taking advantage of the trivial is very unfounded.
It was obviously true that Shao went to the police station.
You may not have had any big troubles, but you've always had small troubles.
Otherwise, we would not be able to summarize a complete set of tactics for dealing with the police.
"That's not a good thing. People are also very busy at work. If you have nothing to do, you should try to cause as little trouble to others as possible."
Mark added a sentence out of habit.
When seeing young people who are ignorant, they still can’t help but lecture them. This is considered an occupational disease of teachers.
"I know, those were all things when I was young and frivolous." Wang Xiaomi should still be serious about this promise. When he met the strange man on the plane, it was obvious that Wang Xiaomi chose to be patient first:
"Let's eat some food. This is the fish I caught myself. It's so easy for them to make money at the beach. In just one morning, you can catch hundreds of dollars worth of fish."
Wang Xiaomi obviously has some potential as a foodie, and he couldn't help but want to eat when the food was served.
"Do you think you can do this every day? You have a novice protection period today. Otherwise, you can give it a try. If you continue fishing for another month, you won't be able to achieve such a harvest."
It was obviously Wang Xiaomi's first time fishing and he had a good harvest, and his interest was aroused.
Many novices fall into this trap.
Wang Xiaomi may not be able to experience the joy of fishing, but he can experience the joy of harvest and money.
If you are in an inland river and fishing for some worthless freshwater fish, you may not be so interested in it.
"Then let's continue fishing tomorrow?"
"It's just a matter of experiencing it. How can I fish every day after traveling so far away?"
Mark was worried that Wang Xiaomi had not passed the novice stage yet, so he was not prepared to go fishing with Wang Xiaomi.
"That's right, even if you fish every day, you won't be able to recoup the cost."
This person is quite real, he is a working man, and he is worried about spending too much money when he goes out to play.
Then the next day, when Mark saw Wang Xiaomi, it was almost noon.
This lifestyle is very suitable for contemporary young people.
After Wang Xiaomi got up, he went to the hotel swimming pool to swim.
This is Wang Xiaomi's favorite place to stay, even more than the restaurant.
"Second uncle, what time did you get up today?"
After swimming a few laps, the two of them sat down to rest again.
"Five o'clock."
Mark took a sip of coconut water and replied.
"Second uncle, aren't you just here to relax? Why are you getting up so early?"
"Watch the sunrise."
"Isn't the sunrise beautiful? Why don't you take me with you?"
"..." When Wang Xiaomi asked such a question, Mark ignored him and just gave him a look of contempt.
"Second uncle, what do you mean? You know I can get up."
Yesterday was an accident, but Wang Xiaomi did not let Mark have two accidents.
"I know, but when you go out to play, the most important thing is to play comfortably. There is no need to force yourself when you go out to play."
A hurried tour is also an option, but Mark will still choose a slow pace.
"That's the truth, but I didn't see the sunrise. I heard that the sunrise on the beach is very beautiful!"
Wang Xiaomi obviously has some regrets.
"It's not easy to watch the sunrise. Second uncle will make it happen for you."
Mark handed the camera to Wang Xiaomi.
I haven't used the camera since I took it back, so Mark took it out today.
Take pictures of the sunrise, take pictures of the seagulls, and then take pictures of the sunset.
It can be regarded as proof that Mark has been to the beach and will show it to Mary after he returns home.
Under Mark's influence, Ma Li was quite interested in photography.
"Second uncle, you also have a professional camera. Can you take some photos for me?"
"I didn't bring a lens. These are for long shots, so I can't take pictures of them for you."
Forget about taking pictures of Wang Xiaomi. When Mark came over with the camera, he didn’t want to take pictures of people.
It is unrealistic to take selfies with a camera, and there is no point in taking pictures of others.
Mark was not prepared to take pictures of others and could not explain it to his daughter when he returned home.
A forty-year-old father went on a trip and took a photo of a beautiful woman in a swimsuit. He was embarrassed no matter how he thought about it.
It was too much of a serious influence on the old father.
"You have such professional equipment, so your photography skills must be good, right?"
"good."
"What about taking pictures with a mobile phone?"
"You can take pictures with your mobile phone."
This is not a problem. The pixels of mobile phones in this era are already quite good, and they can have their own beauty.
For those who are not good at taking pictures, it is already much easier to use than a camera.
"How about this pose?"
Wang Xiaomi immediately left and set up.
"Don't leave in a hurry. Bring your cell phone here."
Mark said to Wang Xiaomi.
If you store it in your Mac phone, it might as well be stored in your camera.
"Let's take pictures in the hotel and then go to the beach to take some pictures?"
Most women like to take pictures.
If it can be photographed well, I will like it more.
The shooting was endless, so Mark spent another afternoon taking photos with Wang Xiaomi.
The photos I took were enough for one set of portraits, and I even changed my clothes several times.
