After returning to the capital, I didn't feel like I had a long break. Mark had to go to school again.
Normally, Mark is a little free.
But it does not include when the school has activities, such as now, when the school holds an opening ceremony.
Although firstly, Mark is not required to host, and secondly, Mark is not required to speak on stage.
However, physical education teachers such as Mark are indispensable for organizing activities, maintaining order, and doing various chores.
This sudden rush of work gave Mark the feeling of going to work for the first time in a long time.
Mark didn't choose to mess up the semester from the beginning.
Sit down in the office seriously and work on the teaching plan for the new semester. This is also a new job after becoming the leader of the physical education team.
Although physical education classes are not important, we cannot just take students to play.
Children should still learn about the basics of sports that should be understood.
"Lao Ma, why did you go on this holiday? I couldn't find anyone to play cards with you?"
Mark wanted to work seriously, but Lao Sun didn't want Mark to do what he wanted.
After finishing his own business, he came over to Mark again.
"The great time is wasted on the card table. If you want to play cards, when we are old and it is difficult to leave, there will be time to play, so why rush now."
Mark has always disagreed with Lao Sun spending his free time at the card table.
The main reason is that Mark has never been able to experience the joy of playing cards.
This kind of leisure is the last one among Mark's many entertainments.
There are only a few times, such as when taking a long-distance train, that I feel more like playing.
"Then you said that when you are our age, why don't you just play some small cards, drink a little wine, and smoke a little cigarette? What other hobbies can you have?"
"There are so many hobbies that can be expanded...Forget it, you'd better play cards."
Mark thought for a while and decided that it would not be feasible for Lao Sun to be like himself and spend all his free time dating girls. It would be better for Lao Sun to maintain the status quo.
"Why do you still speak halfway?"
"I wanted to ask you to go to the gym with me, but then I thought you wouldn't be willing, so I didn't finish my sentence."
Mark said with an excuse.
"I'm not very good at fitness, but I feel good about golf recently. Do you want to play with me?"
What Lao Sun likes is this type of petty bourgeoisie activity.
"When you have time, I will accompany you to practice two strokes."
"Why are you waiting? Can't you do it today? There are no classes, so you can just leave?"
"It's really not possible today. If you really want to play, let's make an appointment for the weekend."
"Second uncle."
Wang Xiaomi was waiting for Mark at the school gate. Of course Mark would not choose to play with an old man like Lao Sun.
"Xiaomi, you don't actually need to come to school. I'll just go to your store and pick you up."
It's been a pity that Mark hasn't had the chance to go to the pet shop where Wang Xiaomi works for such a long time and get to know the owner of the pet shop, Lezi.
"Aren't you afraid that you will be alone? Lily is having dinner with her classmates today, and you don't even have anyone to go to get off work with you."
Wang Xiaomi is actually pretty good at talking. This is only true if Wang Xiaomi is willing to talk.
"Isn't it like this after get off work? I'm not Manao. I need someone to pick me up before I can go home."
Fortunately, Mark didn't go through the main entrance of the school now, otherwise he would be seen by students. It would still be a bit inappropriate for a young girl to pick Mark up.
He supervises students every day not to fall in love, and he is about to fall in love with a little girl, so he is somewhat ashamed to meet people.
"Speaking of Manao, I have some thoughts. How about we pick up Manao? I haven't seen him in a while."
Ma Nao has always been concerned about her appearance since she was a child. Not only did she like to play with pretty girls in kindergarten, but when she met Wang Xiaomi, she also acted like a pretty sister.
The emotional value cannot be higher. Of course Wang Xiaomi likes Ma Nao, and Ma Nao is related to Mark, but the relationship is actually not that big.
"It's better to say goodbye. Her mother should have picked him up by now."
Mark pretended to look at his watch and replied.
If it is normal time, the time to pick up Mark will be slightly later than when Mark gets off work.
But now that Tianye is unemployed, it is not impossible to rush to pick people up at the earliest possible time.
"Are we two still going to the gym?"
"It's up to you. If you want to go, we will go. If you don't want to go, we can just go to eat."
Although the gym environment is not bad, it is not a place for serious dates.
"Then we won't practice today, let's go shopping."
"Okay, let's go shopping."
"Try this one."
"Look at this again."
"It's all wrapped up."
There is actually not much difference between shopping with Wang Xiaomi and shopping with Ma Li.
They always take Mark to help him buy clothes. The girls are responsible for choosing and Mark is responsible for paying the bill.
"Okay, don't show it to me. I can buy clothes myself. You can also look at what you like and buy a few for yourself."
He has never entered the entire women's clothing area, so Mark is certainly embarrassed to browse like this.
"I can buy clothes anytime I want. Let me show you, have you bought any clothes for yourself since you were single?"
"I actually have quite a lot of clothes. You see, I like to wear sportswear because it's convenient for class. I can't wear other clothes."
Ma Li could also buy clothes for herself, but Mark didn't say anything about it.
Otherwise, Wang Xiaomi's kindness would be of no value.
The clothes chosen by the two people are actually different, and their styles are slightly different.
"The weather is going to change soon, so I'd better buy two more."
As soon as Wang Xiaomi insisted, the two of them went shopping in a men's clothing store until they had dinner.
After dinner, and in the second half of the game, I started to play according to Wang Xiaomi's wishes.
For items like watching movies, this is just free of charge.
One session lasts for two hours, so there’s not that much time.
Besides, the two of us have watched the movie many times.
Mark watched all the summer movies twice.
I watched it once with Ma Li, and again with Wang Xiaomi.
"Second uncle, can you play this dancing machine?"
Wang Xiaomi plays like a child, and there is no big difference between his hobbies and Ma Li's.
The sign of being more mature than Ma Li is that she is not star-chasing or crazy.
Some time ago, Wang Xiaomi found a boyfriend who sang and started a band.
In fact, it can be considered as someone who likes to follow the trend.
So without considering Mark, the two of them can get along as sisters.
"Do you want to do radio gymnastics? I'm professional in this."
Mark looked at Wang Xiaomi and said, just like a child, he would play with whatever he saw in the mall.
"Come on, you can also broadcast gymnastics."
Wang Xiaomi held Mark and wanted to play the dancing machine.
"Second uncle, I didn't realize that you are still a master!"
After the dance, Wang Xiaomi looked at Mark in surprise.
"It's okay, but the pace can't be any faster. Otherwise, if you don't warm up and play these games, you'll get twisted easily."
Mark's dance basics are actually pretty good, mainly because he has practiced martial arts a lot.
It is not difficult to do some dance moves. If you have good muscle control, the dance will be more rhythmic.
"Okay, let's go slow."
The two danced several songs. Although they didn't go to the gym, they still had enough exercise to make up for it.
"Second uncle, let's go catch the baby."
"You still like stuffed toys?"
"Isn't it strange? Girls all like these. My favorite one will last for many years."
"If you like it, then we'll catch it."
Although these are relatively childish for Mark, they are not impossible to play.
"Second uncle, I want this."
"This monkey is not bad either."
"This dog, the white dog, is my favorite. My mother didn't let me keep one, so I went to work in a pet store."
Originally it was Wang Xiaomi who played the game, but after Wang Xiaomi couldn't catch it, it was replaced by Mark.
Mark is very good at playing with the claw machine.
The difficulty of catching the doll is related to the settings of the machine, but it also depends on experience.
Master the skills well, although it cannot be the same as the ring game. Playing is to make money.
But we can also say, get what you want.
At most it's just a matter of investing a few more coins.
"You like animals so much, but your mother doesn't support you?"
This made Mark feel that Wang Xiaomi's mother was not always obedient to Wang Xiaomi.
At least not to the extent that Mark treats Ma Li.
"My mother is quite strict with me. She has a lot of control over me. If she can't find me for a while, she will call me."
Mark has seen this before. As long as Wang Xiaomi doesn't go home after get off work, Wang Xiaomi's mother will definitely call.
"I understand. After all, your mother only has you as her daughter. If Ma Li doesn't come home, I will call her."
Wang Xiaomi’s mother is quite a difficult person to deal with. Although she is not as good as a slave girl like Mark, Wang Xiaomi is also her lifeblood.
This is a level that must be passed in the future.
"Uncle, sister, can you help me catch one?"
When Mark and Wang Xiaomi were playing, the boy in the machine next door saw the two of them catching more and more, and couldn't help but run over.
"Child, why are you calling someone? If you call me that, aren't you calling us a junior? You're calling us aunt."
Wang Xiaomi touched the head of this seven or eight-year-old boy and said.
"Auntie, can you help me catch one?"
Brother Kid took out the remaining coins in his hand.
"I gave it to you, which one do you like?"
Wang Xiaomi listened unusually to her aunt, smiled happily, took out seven or eight of her dolls and said.
"I like it here."
Unfortunately, even as a kid, the dolls he likes are different from the dolls girls like.
"Okay, we'll help you catch him."
"Uncle, take this coin." The kid brother is quite particular.
"You can keep it, I have more here." Mark said, grabbing a handful of his own coins.
This machine is still a bit old. If it is replaced with a code scanning machine in the next two years, Mark will not have to grab so many game coins to play.
"Thank you uncle, thank you sister, not thank you auntie."
After catching an animated doll for his child, the child was very satisfied.
"Xiaomi, you saw it, we go out together, we will often encounter this kind of thing in the future."
Just when he saw it, Mark reminded Wang Xiaomi again.
It is much more difficult for two people to fall in love than Wang Xiaomi imagined.
"I don't care, I'm willing to be called auntie." It seems that Wang Xiaomi doesn't want to go against her will.
They belong to a category of people who are relatively less influenced by the outside world.
Not afraid of other people's comments, which is more suitable for the current Internet era.
I won’t be upset after reading some online comments.
"How can you be so abnormal? Other women in their fifties and sixties still need to be called sister, but you in your twenties insist on being called aunt."
"I'm happy, I'm different from them. Let's go eat ice cream."
The next project is something the kids like.
"Be careful, you don't have a strong stomach."
"I have no problem, I won't eat myself up easily."
"Then have one."
"Second uncle, you don't want to eat?"
"I won't eat these, you can just do it yourself."
Mark is past the age of making things casually.
If you want to have a late night snack, Mark likes it and is willing to make an exception. He doesn't like sweets.
"Second uncle, there are people skating here."
Wang Xiaomi just wanted to play when he saw it.
"It's getting late, why don't we skate some other time. As a girl, it's better for your skin to go to bed early and get up early."
It was almost ten o'clock, and it was time for Mark to rest.
"Then let's play again tomorrow?"
"We'll see what happens tomorrow."
It’s not like Mark can’t skate. He’s lived in the Northeast for many years.
This is a basic skill, but it's just Mark's life. If you still can't do it, just hang around Wang Xiaomi, maybe something will happen.
"Ma Li, you haven't gone to bed yet?"
Mark didn't go to send Wang Xiaomi off because the distance was too far and it was inconvenient to send it off every time.
"I just came back. I'm hungry. I want to get something to eat."
Ma Li is still in the growing stage, and Mark often hears that she is hungry.
"Didn't you go to a dinner party with your classmates?"
But Mark was surprised that he was still hungry when he came back from the dinner party.
"The dinner party was over long ago, and we went to a concert again. I was hungry after we came back."
"Whatever you want to eat, I'll cook it for you."
Mark took the thing from Marley's hand.
"Just eat the next bowl of dumplings. It's time to go to bed, so don't eat too much."
I ate dumplings two days ago. I made a little more and left them in the refrigerator.
"..." Mark felt that Ma Li had some misunderstandings about Duo Buluo: "You went to a concert again. Didn't we agree that you would bring mine with you next time?"
Mark had a lot planned for the summer vacation, and many things were completed very well.
In terms of improving Ma Li's musical literacy, Mark took Ma Li to attend many concerts, but it was not ideal.
"Are you serious? It's been so long. I thought you were joking with me?"
"I'm not kidding you. You've never heard of a scene like yours. It's okay to give it a try. Do you think it's embarrassing to bring your dad and me over with your classmates?"
Mark first needs to determine what Ma Li is listening to. If it is Wang Xiaomi's ex-boyfriend's band, he needs to resolve it early.
Mark and Wang Xiaomi still spend less time together.
I have never seen Wang Xiaomi’s ex-boyfriend.
It's not easy to bring it up for no reason and call people out for a meeting.
In fact, if Mark could meet people, he would still advise his children to disband the band as soon as possible and do something serious.
"How come? Next time, next time there is a band performance, I will ask you to go with me."
