"Second uncle, second uncle, did Lily play with her classmates again?"
The day before yesterday, Mark pushed Wang Xiaomi away. The next day, as soon as Mark arrived at the gym part-time, he found Wang Xiaomi waiting.
"Don't you know better than me whether she is going or not?"
On the first day Mark came back to work part-time, Wang Xiaomi blocked him. There was no doubt that someone had betrayed Mark.
Even if Wang Xiaomi is relatively brainless, it's not difficult to get something out of Ma Li's mouth.
"Hey, second uncle, I have already thought about it very clearly when you are going to accept me."
Mark gave Wang Xiaomi time to think about it. Wang Xiaomi only thought about it for less than a day, but it still felt a little rushed.
"Look at you, you are all stupid. Where did you think clearly?"
"As for the issues you are worried about, there is an age gap between us. Although you are more than ten years older than me, in today's society, it is normal for men to be ten or twenty years older than women."
"This is not uncommon, but haven't you seen what the conditions are for men looking for girlfriends? The difference between me and these is the same as our age."
"Some people like power, and some people like money. I just like you to be mature and steady, okay?"
"I'm not the only one who is mature and stable. There are many men like this. Men will mature as they get older."
"But you are the only one who is handsome and willing to be sincerely nice to me, my second uncle!"
Wang Xiaomi looked at Mark with burning eyes again.
"I am divorced. I am not the only one in the family, but I also have a son and a daughter. How can anyone be willing to be a stepmother as soon as they walk in the door?"
Mark and Wang Xiaomi looked at each other for two seconds before continuing.
"I do. I like Ma Li and Ma Nao, and I am willing to take care of them." Wang Xiaomi did not hesitate.
"If you are willing to take care of them, will Ma Li also be willing for you to take care of them?"
"I can fight for it. If I can get along so well with them now, I will definitely be able to do the same in the future."
Wang Xiaomi is really just a love-minded person at this time, and cannot see any difficulties in his eyes.
"Can't we just get along like this? Our relationship is very good now. Why are you so anxious to change our relationship?"
Mark did not persuade Wang Xiaomi to give up, but instead delayed it for a while. This girl did not have much sense left.
"It's okay if you don't rush. If you don't rush, I'm afraid you'll have to go back and make trouble."
Wang Xiaomi said bluntly and urgently.
"Don't worry, a good horse never turns back. That 'good horse' is talking about me, Mark. Can we just let nature take its course? We have only known each other for a long time, and even if we say we know each other, we don't fully understand it."
"Okay, if you want to be more cautious, I respect you." Wang Xiaomi finally relaxed.
Otherwise, Wang Xiaomi would keep hitting the ball straight, and it would still be difficult for Mark to hold on.
Men cannot withstand such a test.
"Okay, you can practice while I go about my business."
Mark himself also needs to exercise. Although when he goes out, he stays in hotels and there are gyms where he can exercise.
But there is still a gap between the amount of training that Mark usually sets.
"Dad, you are back."
As soon as Mark opened the door, Manao came over and after playing together for a few days, the relationship between father and son recovered a lot.
"Manao, did you have fun going out with your sister?"
Mark worked part-time today, and Manao was handed over to Ma Li to take care of him.
Ma Li is not ready to resume exercise so soon.
Although she has been out playing for more than a month, Ma Li has not played with her friends yet.
When going out with classmates, it won't be too much trouble to bring an agate.
Except for a few projects, Manao can actually participate in everything from shopping to video games and movies.
"happy."
"As long as you are happy, where is your sister?"
"Dad, the child is hungry."
Ma Li's voice came from the kitchen.
"What are you doing, cooking for Manao?" Mark came to the kitchen and asked when he saw Ma Li firing.
"Manao is hungry. I'll fry two eggs for you."
Ma Li's cooking skills are still very limited and she can't cook complicated things.
"Not bad, fry two for me too, I'm a little hungry too."
There are not many opportunities to meet Ma Li making food, and Mark will definitely not miss it.
"Wait."
Ma Li, who doesn't cook often, is quite interested in cooking.
"Okay, you can fry eggs well and you have the potential to inherit my cooking skills."
The three of them finished two eggs each, and Mark gave it a good review.
"You didn't praise me so much. I don't have this ambition. Don't try to coax me into being like my mother, being your mother-in-law at home."
Ma Li said alertly.
"Is this how you think about your mother? You think like this. No wonder your mother doesn't want to continue living like this."
Ma Li's relationship with Tianye has obviously recovered somewhat, and she is now willing to acknowledge Tianye's contribution.
"I don't think so now, but won't I think so in the future?"
Ma Li has a negative attitude, so this should only be Tian Tian's unilateral meaning.
"Then you should also learn more. You won't suffer from learning more. Just like this time when we go out. I can do it myself without your dad. Where can you go to eat authentic Chinese food after being away for such a long time?"
Whether you want to cook often depends on your personal preference, but it is still necessary to master this cooking skill.
"When I go out, I can take you with me. If you cook for me, won't I be able to eat it?" Ma Li also has times when she is naive.
"I'm your dad, not your nanny. I can't be with you forever. There will always be times when I'm not around."
"Then let's talk about it later. Didn't these two years allow me to study hard?" Ma Li declined.
"Then you didn't study hard enough. The whole summer vacation will be wasted."
"That's not a big deal. My English should have improved a bit, right?"
Ma Li counted this as an occasional communication with foreigners.
"That's not necessarily the case. We can only look forward to it."
I hope Ma Li’s listening scores will be better than before.
"Dad, it's time to cook. We can't just deal with two eggs per person, right?" Ma Li was obviously changing the subject.
"You come and help, and we, father and daughter, can do it together."
My academic performance is no longer good, and my life skills must be cultivated more.

"somebody is coming."
Mark heard a knock on the door.
"Manao, help open the door."
Mark and Ma Li both occupied their hands, and Ma Li ordered Manao.
Manao has reached the age where he can help with some things.
You won't open the door of a house, run out and give up.
"Mom." Manao called after opening the door, and then Ma Li, who went to the entrance to see the person, also shouted:
"Dad, it's my mother who's here."
"Tianye, why are you here?" Mark also turned off the fire, washed his hands, and came out to see people.
"You have been taking Manao here for several days. I was passing by downstairs today and wanted to take Manao back."
Tian Tian replied to Mark.
"Are we going to take Manao back now?" Ma Li said reluctantly.
"No need to change your shoes, just come in."
Seeing Tianye sitting down at the door and going to look for slippers in the shoe cabinet, Mark said to Tianye that there was nothing of Tianye at home.
"You kept your house very clean!"
After Tian Ye entered the house, he looked around first, maybe feeling familiar yet unfamiliar.
There is actually not much difference in the home. No furniture has been changed. I have just put away or cleaned out Tian Tian’s personal belongings.
"This is not a difficult matter, it was easily dealt with."
Whenever possible, Mark pursues his own living environment.
When there are no conditions, Mark will also ensure that everything is clean.
"Yes, just call and ask aunt to come and clean up."
Ma Li replied with a sentence, which was quite meant to cause trouble for Mark.
It was probably intentional. Mark just wanted to show that he was living a good life after leaving the field, and Ma Li was not too happy about it.
"Mark, you shouldn't be so lavish in doing things. You have two children. You should have a plan when using money."
Tian Ye walked up to Mark, thought about it for a moment, and then said, maybe this was a habit from being a housekeeper before.
In Tian Ye's eyes, Mark's recent consumption is much higher than before.
Buying a car, traveling to Europe, and hiring a nanny to do housework are all purchases that Mark never had before.
"Don't worry, I haven't touched the education fund prepared for the children."
There was only so much Mark needed to explain to Tian Tian.
"I'm not saying you can't use it." Tian Tian explained, perhaps thinking that Mark had a misunderstanding.
"I don't know how to use it, why don't I let you hold this card."
Mark thought that if the house and the Cayenne were exposed, Ye Ye might murmur again, so he wanted to give the card to Ye Ye.
"It's your name in the first place, so you should give it to the children."
"When Agate needs to be used, just tell me."
Soon it was time to pay tuition in Manao, and Mark couldn't guarantee whether Tianye would be able to get it.
Although Tian Tian makes a lot of money, he can really spend it when he spends it.
For a woman, a monthly income of tens of thousands is just a bag of money.
"Manao, pack your things, let's go back." Tian Ye didn't reply to Mark, but said to Manao.
"Mom, Manao hasn't eaten yet." Ma Li said to Tian Tian.
My attitude toward Tianye has softened a lot, but it still can't be compared to when nothing happened.
"Let's go home and eat."
"My dad has already done it. You and Manao should have dinner before leaving."
"Mom, let's go after dinner. I don't want to be separated from my sister." Manao was Ma Li's little follower, and Ma Li would do whatever she said.
Ma Li has always said to Manao that she is better than Mark and Tian Tian.
"No, you won't necessarily have enough food if I stay?" Tian Ye looked at Mark, and it was quite obvious that he wanted to stay.
"It's already dinner time, just stay here and add some vegetables. There's no way it's not enough."
Tian Ye wanted to stay, so Mark certainly couldn't drive them away.
After more than a month of indifference, the last fight in the gym was over.
When Mark is in some unfavorable fields, the line he keeps is easy to break, decouple and run away, and fishing still needs to be pulled.
"Let me help."
When Mark entered the kitchen and was about to continue cooking, Tian Ye also followed in.
"No need, just me and Ma Li."
Mark politely declined, and Tian Tian could now be considered half a guest.
"Dad, I'll go with Manao and you wash these vegetables."
Ma Li handed the half-washed dishes directly to Mark.
Now her attitude was obvious. After Ma Li stabbed Tianye in the back several times, she found out that Tianye still cared about Mark.
Now I want to create opportunities for the two people and support them to reunite.
"I'll do it."
Then Ye Tian became familiar with it and took the lead in the kitchen.
Mark took over Marley's previous role as a helper.
"Tian Tian, if you don't have time, it's okay to put A Nao here. I have time to take A Nao with me now."
At this time, Mark thought about trying to save Manao.
Mark himself is quite casual, it doesn't matter if Manao is at home or not.
But if Ma Li is reluctant to part with Manao, Mark is willing to help fight for it.
"I'd better take Manao away. I also have time. I've already left my job at the hotel."
"That's right, you will leave your job before Ma Li and I go out."
Tian Ye is considered a middle-level manager in the hotel, not an insignificant but not a particularly important position. One month is enough for him to resign.
"It has been done for many days. I have no problem taking Manao with me."
Maybe it was because he was bored after leaving his job that Tian Ye insisted on taking Manao away.
"What are you going to do when you get out of the hotel?"
Tian Ye definitely has certain abilities, but because he has been working in a hotel.
Abilities are also quite limited.
It is difficult for a forty-year-old man to find a job, and a forty-year-old woman will suffer even more in the workplace.
Tian Ye wants to find another job comparable to his previous one, but it’s actually not that easy.
"I don't want to work for any boss anymore. I want to start a business with Fang Yuan and do something by myself."
When Ye Ye said this, Mark couldn't help but think that Fang Yuan's departure was influenced by Ye Ye.
"Did she suggest you to resign?"
Not only was it about leaving the job, Tian Tian insisted on getting a divorce, and Mark felt that he had an inseparable relationship with Fang Yuan.
If you have such a non-marriage person around you, even if you don't intentionally quit.
It is also inseparable from the subtle influence.
If you are single, you have basically no responsibilities, and in many cases you are more relaxed and happy than if you have to shoulder family responsibilities.
Of course there are many times of loneliness and coldness, and there are gains and losses.
But these things are all behind the scenes, when the fields cannot see them.
Tian Ye only saw Fang Yuan's relaxed, happy and unrestrained side, and he wanted to give it a try, which was actually not surprising.
"..." Tian Tian's silence can be said to be acquiescence.
"Compared with her, she has enough to eat alone, and the whole family is not hungry, and has no worries. She doesn't want to work, and you don't want to work. Aren't you afraid of starving your son to death?"
Mark complained in his mind that the two of them no longer had a relationship as husband and wife, so Mark didn't say anything out loud.
"Then I wish you success in starting your own business and fulfilling your ambitions. I have been confining you at home for the past few years, which really did not allow you to unleash all your abilities."
I thought about the social and economic situation in the next few years.
Mark can only say that if Tianye wants to start a business and also want to become an entity, the possibility of success is close to zero.
It's not that I question Ye Ye's ability, I just don't believe that Ye Ye has particularly great abilities.
Even if you can do better and make more money in the past two years, you may be able to pay it back in the next few years.
