In the school playground, during the last recess in the afternoon, when Mark was preparing sports supplies for the next class, Ma Li came over:
"Dad, can you finish school on time today?"
After the first period of school, Ma Li's get-togethers with her classmates became less frequent, and she resumed going home from school with Mark.
"I can't let it go. The basketball team has to practice extra today, so I won't be able to go back until later."
Extra training is an extra job that Mark has given himself. When he is the coach of the basketball team, it is when he is most energetic and he does not feel like a worker who is forced to work overtime.
"Then do you want me to wait for you and we go back together?"
"My father and I want to go together again. You don't have much time to practice. Later, while they are practicing physical fitness, we will play tennis for a while."
Ma Li stayed, and Mark immediately thought of what to do with Ma Li.
As a physical education teacher, what I am best at is arranging these things.
"Okay, I'll come to the playground to find you after school."
Among female students, Ma Li can be regarded as one who loves sports.
"Dad, let's get started."
After school, Ma Li changed into her sportswear and came to the playground to find Mark.
"Lily, I can't play today. Your mother sent me a message. No one answered the message in Manao today."
Mark saw the message after class when he was holding his cell phone next to the basketball hoop.
Mark's only real job is to teach students.
Normally nothing happens, but when I exercise, my phone is a burden, so I don’t often keep it by my side.
This is the result of Mark and Wang Xiaomi being in constant contact, otherwise Mark would leave his phone in the office.
Generally, it won't delay anything. I can't receive a call, but I can see missed calls and messages.
"Can you go this way?"
"It's hard to walk away. I have to rely on you on the Manao side."
If you want to provide additional training for students, it should be more interesting and play more training games.
For these students, practicing basic skills is very boring.
It's okay to practice for a while, but it's still too boring for a long time and will make these students lose their enthusiasm.
Originally, I participated in the competition just to generate electricity for love. If I didn't like it, I wouldn't participate in any competition.
"No problem, I'll pick up Manao." Ma Li replied.
"You take Manao to play outside for a while, and then go to the supermarket to buy some snacks and vegetables by the way."
The two of you can buy whatever you want to eat.
This saves Mark from having to call two people to buy groceries.
"OK, is there anything else you would like to ask?"
"Go home early after buying groceries. I'll probably go back a little later than you."
Ma Li went to pick up Manao. Apart from worrying that Manao was too playful and unwilling to go home early, Mark had no other worries.
"Yes, we don't have time today. The child's sister is going to pick her up."
In order to prevent Mark from picking up his children but the teacher wouldn't let him pick them up, Mark also called Teacher Manao.
"Okay, you two, please stop for a moment. In this weather, you can still be sweating profusely."
When Mark got home, Ma Li and Manao were singing and dancing again, and the two of them had a great time.
Ma Li was in good condition, but Ma Nao was bouncing around, making herself sweat all over her forehead.
"It's not that I don't want to stop, it's that your son doesn't want to stop, so I can only play with him." Ma Li said.
In fact, Ma Li herself was very childish when she played with Manao.
No matter how old you play with people, Ma Li can maintain a certain mentality.
This is an important reason why Ma Li can get along well from being able to keep up with ninety-nine to just walking.
"If I had known that I had picked up someone, I shouldn't have let you go home. You should have taken Manao back to school to find me. If he doesn't let him use up all his energy, he won't be willing to settle down."
Mark still gave Ma Li face and did not expose her.
As long as Manao is happy, he doesn't care if there is any trouble.
"Yes, if you hadn't asked me to come back early, we should have played outside for a while."
"I don't know why, but Manao is much more lively than before."
Then Mark was thinking about how the field brought agate.
It is obviously unrealistic to ask Ye Ye to take Manao out to play every day.
But if we don't go out to play, Manao will keep making noise, and Tianye won't be able to bear it.
A reasonable guess is that Manao was not in the same state when he was in front of Tianye and Mark.
He made a fuss when he got home, maybe because he felt that Mark had always been a loving father figure, never got angry, and was easier to talk to, which allowed Manao to let himself go.
"dad."
Manao is indeed very childish. Whenever we meet, he always wants to hug him first.
"Okay, stop hugging me. Manao, daddy, let's discuss it with you. Can we just give high-fives and not hug you when greeting you from now on? You've grown up too, and are now a student in the middle class of kindergarten."
Calculated according to his birthday, Manao is already six years old.
It's definitely not okay to be so naive all the time. Compared to the first half of the year, there should be some growth.
Just growing in stature without growing in mind is not complete growth.
In the kindergarten stage, you can indeed have a happy education, but you can't be silly and happy.
"I'm not a big kid yet!" Manao looked up at Ma Li and said.
Ma Li has always been a reference for Manao.
"Why aren't you? You are already older than many children in your kindergarten. You can't always think of yourself as a younger brother. You have to act like a big kid."
Mark tried to convince Manao.
With Ma Li as a ready-made example, Mark had always felt that there was no problem with his ability to educate children in the field.
But I just discovered that it’s okay to let Tian Ye take care of the children. Tian Tian is very good at taking care of people.
But it seems that education in the field cannot be done by one person.
Mark also contributed to Ma Li's growth.
Without Mark, I always feel that Manao is not as good as Ma Li.
"Who will call me brother? Will I have younger brothers and sisters?"
Manao laughed. The child's thinking was active and he was communicating well, but suddenly he went to other places.
"You don't have to have younger siblings, but children younger than you can be considered your younger siblings. When you meet someone younger than you, do you have to show off your little manliness?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This possibility is possible, but it is not high. At least, Mark has not considered it at the moment.
"I'm a man, let's high-five."
With the previous foundation, Manao was quite obedient and had time to educate her slowly.
"Dad, you have to educate Manao and then educate him later, okay? He's sweating so much and it's time to take a bath." Ma Li said to Mark.
"Okay, I'll wash it off for him."
As the children get older, bathing is no longer suitable for Ma Li to do.
The bathroom had always been used by one person before, so Mark didn't feel there was anything wrong with the bathroom.
After bringing an agate in, Mark felt that the space was a bit small.
It's a bit short, so Mark just has to move it when it's time to wash it.
We still need to speed up the work on the new house and ventilate it frequently to remove odors.
"Dad, how many days will Manao stay at home this time?"
After washing, the three of them started cooking together in the kitchen.
Mark is the chef, Ma Li is the cook, and Manao joins in the fun.
"Then it depends on when your mother comes back."
Tian Ye just said that he left the city and wouldn't be able to come back for a while.
But Mark didn't call specifically to ask what the specific situation was.
The only thing left and right fields can do is open a beauty shop.
"What did my mother do?" Ma Li was more concerned about Tianye than before.
But the way of caring is mainly indirect.
I still don’t seem to be very good at making video calls in the field.
"It seems like I'm really learning this time."
The organizational study organized by the unit when I moved out was fake, but this time it is still true.
"Since she is so busy and can't take care of her, why don't we keep Manao at home?"
Ma Li sometimes turns around very quickly. She has just been affected by Manao, so it is easier for her to be so sudden.
"This is not something we can just agree to. It also depends on whether your mother is willing."
If Ma Li is particularly insistent, Mark can try to bring Manao back.
The time that the two siblings spend together frequently is not very long anymore.
When Ma Li goes to college, she won't be able to go home every day.
"Dad, tell me, if we take the agate back, will my mother be willing?"
"Don't forget, don't say we are coming back to Manao. Previously, she asked you to come over and asked you to live with her on the weekends."
It will definitely be difficult for Ye Ye to take the initiative to return the agate to Mark.
If Ma Li and Mark hadn't been of the same mind, Tian Tian would have wanted to take both children away.
"That was before, isn't she busy now?"
"She is starting a business. Of course she is a little busy in the preparatory stage, but after the store is opened and on track, as a boss, she has more free time than the two of us."
Mark explained to Mary.
Don't believe that the boss is very busy. As long as the boss is willing, it is much easier than hiring a worker.
"It all depends on the person. I am getting more and more nervous when I study. But after the city basketball game is over, you will have nothing to do. You have plenty of time. You have time to take good care of Manao."
Mary knows Mark's work very well.
It's like Mark knows the subject chart of Mary's class very well.
"Let's talk about this again when we meet your mother." Mark declined.
Ma Li thought that Mark would be very free later, but in fact Mark was quite busy because he had a date, and his schedule was already very full.
This matter can only be considered until the relationship between Mark and Wang Xiaomi has progressed to a certain level.
"Second uncle, why haven't you seen Lily in the past few days?"
After Manao temporarily stayed at home, Mark and Wang Xiaomi had to take advantage of the lunch break to go on dates.
It's definitely not okay to take Wang Xiaomi to the school cafeteria. It has nothing to do with the quality of the food in the school cafeteria.
The main restaurant is full of students, so it would be inappropriate for Mark to take Wang Xiaomi on a date.
So Mark made an appointment with Wang Xiaomi to eat at a restaurant outside.
"Manao has been staying at home these two days, and Ma Li has to take care of Manao, so she hasn't gone out to play much."
"Have you brought Manao back?"
Wang Xiaomi asked with some surprise.
"No, his mother is not in the capital. The child is temporarily coming back to stay for a few days."
"We'll just stay for a few days." Wang Xiaomi said disappointedly.
Wang Xiaomi accompanied Mark to take Ma Nao several times, and she only experienced the cuteness of the child. Wang Xiaomi had never seen the annoying parts of the child.
So I have always felt that raising children is a wonderful thing.
"A few days are already busy enough."
"Because your child is at home, you haven't had time these past two days?"
"It's not entirely because of Manao, the school basketball team also has a lot of things going on."
"When you compete, I'll cheer you on."
"I'll let you know when the time comes. The competitions won't all be in my school."
What Mark is thinking is that Wang Xiaomi wants to watch the game. Mark needs to carefully consider whether it is better to play at home or away.
"Second uncle, if you are busy, I can also help take care of Ma Li and Ma Nao." Wang Xiaomi said expectantly.
"Then why don't you give it a try and experience what it's like to raise two children?"
This is also an experience that Wang Xiaomi will have sooner or later.
"Just today, I will pick up Lily and Manao after school today."
Wang Xiaomi said decisively, fearing that Mark would change his mind.
"Lao Ma, you knew earlier that Dai Anfen is Wang Xiaomi, and Wang Xiaomi is Dai Anfen, right?"
Wang Xiaomi took Ma Li and Ma Nao out, and then Ma Li brought Ma Nao back angrily, and questioned Mark when they got home.
"Lily, please listen to me explain this matter."
Before Ma Li came back, Wang Xiaomi had already sent a letter to Mark, and Mark was mentally prepared.
But this kind of deception cannot be explained clearly without being mentally prepared.
"Explain what, why did you two deceive me like a fool?" Ma Li said angrily.
This was one of the angriest times Mark had ever seen Mary.
Ma Li knew that when her parents divorced, her mood was slightly better than now. At that time, Ma Li was at least mentally prepared.
"Lily, whether you listen or not, I will tell you this from the beginning..."
Although Mark has been saying that Wang Xiaomi should explain his identity to Wang Xiaomi as soon as possible.
Wang Xiaomi had been preparing to explain, but something unexpected happened. Ma Li knew the truth, and it was not Wang Xiaomi's initiative to clarify.
Wang Xiaomi took Ma Li and Ma Nao out to play, and the name of Ma Nao, who was the most ignored, was exposed.
Mark and Wang Xiaomi played with Manao several times, but of course they couldn't let Manao call Wang Xiaomi "Pretty Sister" all the time. This is how strangers call her.
It was not easy to deceive a five- or six-year-old child by calling her Dai Anfen, so Mark and Wang Xiaomi asked Manao to call her sister Xiaomi.
These three people never got together before, so nothing happened.
I didn’t expect that things would get out of control once Wang Xiaomi took two people out.
"Thanks to my kindness for getting you together, one of you is my father and the other is my sister, so you teamed up to deceive me."
Ma Li brought the two people together to stimulate Tian Ye. Whether it was a good intention or not does not need to be investigated clearly.
The most important thing is that Ma Li feels that she has been deceived by the person she trusts most, which makes her heartbroken.
When they talked about divorce, Mark had just promised Ma Li once, and he didn't expect to do it again so soon.
"Lily, when I found out about this, you had already misunderstood their identities, and I no longer knew how to explain it to you."
Mark had never experienced this at the beginning, which was actually a bit unfair, but Mark was thinking about Wang Xiaomi.
I don't want the relationship between Ma Li and Wang Xiaomi to break down immediately without any backlash, so it's just right to be implicated for a while.
"Manao, let's go back to the house. They are all liars. Don't believe any of us."
