"Teacher Ma, you are finally back. Lily, did you enjoy your outing this time? It's great to have a father. No one has ever taken me to play like this."
After going out for more than a month, the first person Mark and Ma Li met was Wang Xiaomi.
"The two of us can just go back by ourselves. If it's troublesome, you can pick us up."
Mark was a little surprised that Wang Xiaomi came to pick up two people at the airport.
"No trouble, I just happened to be here to see someone off, and you two just happened to be back today, so there won't be any trouble in picking you up."
Wang Xiaomi is just right, Mark doesn’t believe even a single punctuation mark.
When Wang Xiaomi didn’t even have a car, I really couldn’t imagine why Wang Xiaomi had to send people to the airport.
"It's okay sister, you can just play with us from now on."
Ma Li left her luggage with Mark, grabbed Wang Xiaomi and walked ahead.
Although we haven’t met each other during this period, we have been chatting lively on social software.
Ma Li always shared with Wang Xiaomi where the two of them went and what they did.
The relationship between Ma Li and Wang Xiaomi is much better than before.
The relationship between Mark and Wang Xiaomi lags far behind in comparison because they have to avoid Ma Li.
"You father and daughter are playing together. It's your parent-child activity. It's not appropriate for me to join you." Wang Xiaomi said reservedly.
In fact, Wang Xiaomi still likes to participate in activities between father and daughter.
"There is nothing inappropriate. We are sisters, so my dad is your dad. You must not treat him as an outsider." Ma Li said with a sisterly look.
"Ahem." Mark couldn't bear to listen: "Ma Li, please stop talking nonsense, aren't you letting me take advantage of Diampin?"
Mark was able to have a daughter as old as Ma Li because he got married and had a baby immediately after graduation without any delay.
Within the legal scope, it is impossible to have a daughter as old as Wang Xiaomi.
"Ma Li, let's just have our own lives. I was your dad's girlfriend a few days ago. We can't let you downgrade in a few days." Wang Xiaomi also hurriedly explained to Ma Li.
There is a big difference between Wang Xiaomi calling Uncle Mark and calling him dad directly following Ma Li.
"Then let's call each other our own. Just because you are friends with my dad, I can't call you aunt. Isn't that calling you old?"
Now Wang Xiaomi belongs to Mark and his daughter, and they have both made friends.
"Yes, we should each do our own thing and do our own thing." Wang Xiaomi nodded hurriedly.
Mark was actually a little panicked. It took too long and there were many accidents.
Have a meal with Wang Xiaomi and give Wang Xiaomi a share of the gifts you brought back.
Mark and Ma Li went home first and did not come back for more than a month. They wanted to go home first.
After finishing cleaning the house, the two of them looked at the photos they took at home.
Prepare to wash it out and hang it at home.
In the past, there were not many decorative photos of our homes.
But because most of the photos show fields.
Mark collected these photos.
I looked at many places, and they all looked a little awkward.
"Dad, I haven't seen Manao for a long time. I miss him."
Then Ma Li saw the photo of Manao and thought of Manao.
"I miss him too. I'll contact your mother later and we'll bring Manao back to stay for a few days."
We really need to see our son. If it takes too long, his son may forget about Mark.
Children's memories are sometimes very good, and they can remember many details that adults think children cannot remember.
But sometimes it’s bad, and it’s very quick to forget something.
Manao will definitely not forget Mark, but it is still possible that the relationship will fade away.
"Okay, let's pick up Manao later."
"Then you first ask where Manao is?"
Without the fixed place of kindergarten, Mark could not be sure where the Manao people were.
"It's at my grandma's house."
Ma Li replied after making two phone calls.
"Then you can only pick it up yourself."
The relationship between Mark and Ling Mingyu has not eased.
During this period of time away from home, there was no contact with each other.
Communication relies entirely on an intermediary like Ma Li to ensure that both parties are in a safe and sound state.
"Dad, come with me. You and grandma are mother and son. Is it possible that you can still keep silent?"
"Okay, I'll go. This time, your grandma still had a cold war with me. Don't try to persuade me again in the future."
Ma Li still needs to be given some face.
"I know, it's not your fault."
Ma Li comforted Mark and was considered supportive.
"Grandma, this is what my dad and I brought back to you from abroad. Here are food, here are things to use, here are clothes, and here are souvenirs for viewing."
Ma Li chose and Mark swiped the card, which can be regarded as the joint contribution of both people.
"Manao, come out quickly. Your father and sister are back to see you."
This time, Ling Mingyu didn't treat the two people coldly. On the contrary, she rarely showed some enthusiasm.
After letting it dry for a while, it still seems to be effective.
"Dad, sister, I miss you."
Manao ran out of the room. The sound coming from the room made Mark sure that the child was watching cartoons.
"Manao, you have grown up so much that I can no longer hold you."
Mark picked up Manao and felt it. The child was much heavier than before.
During the summer vacation, the children eat well, drink well, play well, have no worries, and are obviously growing.
"Then if I eat less, daddy, you can hold me."
Manao said innocently that it would be quite fun if he didn't take care of such an older child all day long and play occasionally.
"It's not enough to eat less. How can you grow up if you eat less?"
"Manao, don't lie in daddy's arms. Don't you see your sister? Let her come and hug you."
Ma Li said to Manao, Manao was actually a thin child, weighing just over forty pounds, but Ma Li could still hold her.
After Ma Li and Ma Nao got together, Ling Mingyu and Mark were left alone.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After watching the two sisters play around for a while, Ling Mingyu suddenly asked Mark:
"Did your trip go smoothly?"
“It went very smoothly.”
Mark looked at Ling Mingyu in surprise and nodded.
This old lady doesn't like air-conditioned rooms in summer and prefers to stay in the courtyard, so Mark can only stay in the courtyard with her.
You can't be like a child and run around the house to cool off.
"Mom shouldn't have been angry with you before."
Although what she said was a bit coy, Ling Mingyu really meant to apologize to Mark.
"It's okay, I'm used to it."
When faced with an apology, Mark was surprised when he replied to the previous sentence.
"Why are you looking at me like this?"
"I'm not used to you being like this. I just want to confirm, are you still my mother?"
Mark handled the matter coldly, just to minimize unnecessary communication between the two people.
I didn't expect Ling Mingyu to change. A sixty-year-old person has had this kind of personality for most of his life, so it is difficult for him to change.
Ling Mingyu suddenly apologized to Mark, which was close to fantasy for Mark.
"Of course I am your mother, if I am not your mother, then who am I?"
Ling Mingyu's voice immediately rose.
"That's right."
Ling Mingyu's friendly attitude towards Mark was an anomaly.
He was still disgusted by the fierce Mi Tai, but Mark was more adaptable.
It’s not that Mark is mean and doesn’t like others to be kinder than him.
But if Ling Mingyu wants to change her attitude, it will be difficult for Mark to handle this relationship.
Now I just need to fulfill my support obligations.
If he was too friendly, Mark would have to consider his emotional investment, and the trouble would not be one or two.
"What's wrong?"
"That's the right attitude you have towards me."
"Mark, you just want to make me angry, don't you?"
"Who wants to make you angry?"
Mark was used to the previous indifference.
"Then what do you mean, I can't even talk to you properly?"
It's not enough to say more than half a sentence, but it really doesn't mean much.
"Lily, let's go without disturbing your grandma. She needs more rest."
Ling Mingyu's anger was actually a very easy matter for Mark to solve.
As long as Ling Mingyu didn't catch up to the door, Mark would be able to hide.
Mark doesn't need to stay in the courtyard for too long.
Nowadays, life is convenient. Even if Ling Mingyu is older, there is no housework that she cannot do.
Not so long ago, there was heavy physical work such as carrying water and chopping wood.
There must be a man in the family who does physical work.
"Okay." Ma Li called back from the house.
"I will take Manao away. I have already told Tianye that I will take Manao back to stay for a few days."
Mark continued to speak to Ling Mingyu.
If she didn't move out to the fields, Ling Mingyu might not give her son to Mark.
"Don't go, I haven't finished speaking to you yet?"
Ma Li came out with Ma Nao and Ma Nao's schoolbag. Ling Mingyu watched the three of them leaving and then tried to persuade Mark to stay.
Even during the holidays, Manao’s schoolbag is also a must, carrying all of Manao’s daily necessities.
"What do you want to say?"
"Have you and Tian Ye always been like this? After leaving you, she has been single... Even if she filed for divorce in the first place, it was her fault. Can't you pursue it again?"
After seeing Ma Li and Ma Nao walking out the door, Ling Mingyu said to Mark.
If Tian Tian was not the one, Ling Mingyu was very careful not to let the two children know.
Unlike Mark, he is not a human being who is scolded in front of his children.
"Do you think this is appropriate?"
It makes sense that there must be a monster when something goes wrong. Ling Mingyu's change of attitude towards Mark was obviously for Tianye.
The way she spoke was exactly like how her ex-mother-in-law treated her ex-son-in-law.
When a daughter makes a mistake, it is very mother-in-law to ask her son-in-law to admit her mistake and save her daughter.
"It's appropriate. What's inappropriate about this?" Ling Mingyu couldn't tell what was wrong.
"If you act like this, I'll have nothing to say, and there's no need for us to talk."
Mark first took Manao and played in some places suitable for children, such as zoos, aquariums, amusement parks, and parks for a few days.
I took my kids to the furniture market.
The house has reached the soft furnishing stage, and it’s time to order furniture.
Although Manao is still young, Mark still gives Manao a certain right to choose. At least he can have his own room as Manao likes.
"Manao, do you like this bed?"
"Lily, look at this princess style. You are very suitable for this style."
"Teacher Ma, I think a cabinet like this would look great in your living room."
Mark's family of three chose furniture, and they also had Wang Xiaomi as a consultant.
In fact, it was not Mark who invited the people over.
Mark is still willing to decorate a house in a style he likes.
It's been many years since I've been this close to modern life.
Mark still wants to try a more modern, smart, and technological style.
After Ma Li spilled the beans, Wang Xiaomi volunteered and chose to join.
After Wang Xiaomi joined, the decoration aspect will be more or less influenced by Wang Xiaomi.
"Xiaomi, I'm really sorry for troubling you, taking you so long."
Even if Wang Xiaomi came on his own initiative, Wang Xiaomi would always help Mark's family with their work. After finishing the work, it was considered a basic courtesy for Mark to send him home.
"It's not troublesome. I'll have nothing to do since I rested."
"What a coincidence, it happens to be you taking a break." Mark complained, not recognizing it.
Wang Xiaomi became more and more perfunctory in finding excuses, and became less and less careful about covering up.
"That's how our pet shop works. It's really busy when we're busy, and it's really leisurely when we're idle."
Mark didn't know that the two met before, but after they met, Wang Xiaomi was really troubled at work.
If he says he doesn't want to go to work, he won't go to work. When he has the opportunity to be with Mark, Wang Xiaomi just takes a break.
As a boss, Wang Xiaomi doesn’t have much time to rest.
"Sounds good. Your boss is a really nice guy."
Even though the owner of this pet shop can be quite shady at times, he has no pressure to sell the products that are about to expire.
But for the employees, it can be said to be really good.
"Second uncle, I like you."
When they arrived at the gate of Wang Xiaomi's community, Mark stopped the car, and Wang Xiaomi suddenly confessed to Mark.
"What did you say?"
There was nothing like Mark's heroic rescue of Wang Xiaomi.
Mark didn't know why Wang Xiaomi suddenly confessed his love.
Mark had plenty of time and did not want to develop with Wang Xiaomi so quickly.
The process of falling in love is actually happier than getting married.
When you are in love, you can just talk about feelings, and you can be happy as long as you want.
There is a lot to consider when getting married, such as rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, too many trivial matters, and too many worries.
"Second uncle, I like you, I like being with you, and I also like the feeling of being with your family."
Wang Xiaomi looked into Mark's eyes and said seriously.
Since Wang Xiaomi has not had a father since he was a child, it is quite obvious that he has a certain Electra complex.
I like mature men, so I fell in love with Mark after only a few meetings, but I had been restrained before.
The impulse this time may have been something about the relationship between Mark and his family that touched Wang Xiaomi.
Make Wang Xiaomi want to have a home like this.
"Wang Xiaomi, are you drunk? We didn't drink today, why are you drunk too?"
Mark should first advise Wang Xiaomi to calm down.
"Second uncle, I am very clear-headed now. I have liked you since I was in Sanya. When I first started looking for you on the Internet, it was because I liked you. I didn't expect that I encountered one thing after another, which delayed me until now."
Wang Xiaomi has obviously made up his mind and is very bold in his enthusiasm.
He is not a hesitant person, he is very brave to express himself, and he is a standard post-90s generation.
