Although Ma Li agreed to go to the concert with Mark.
But when to go, Ma Li couldn't tell.
When such a wild band can have a venue to perform depends on fate.
Mark still goes to work first, and there are still more things to do at the beginning of school than at the end of the semester.
After sending away the last wave of high school seniors, the school basketball team is also facing a new generation.
The first thing Mark has to do is recruit new players for the school team.
Although it is a private school, it is not a famous basketball school.
Mark, the head coach of the school's basketball team, is not only a part-time job, but also the head coach. There is no such configuration as a coaching staff.
That is to say, when the school team goes out to compete, some team leaders and other personnel will be temporarily added.
When recruiting new jobs, Mark needs to do it himself.
As one of the most popular sports, basketball has many fans.
Those who want to join the school team plus the students who join in the fun, the number is more than three digits.
Mark won't be without something to do anytime soon.
After school started, it has entered September, and the weather has become much cooler, so it is not bad to stay in the playground.
"Dad, are you still going to work part-time today?"
It has been many days since school started, and Ma Li finally reunited with her classmates and had the rare opportunity to get out of school with Mark.
"No, let's pick up Manao now."
Mary might want to exercise, but it's such an unlucky coincidence that Mark won't be going today.
"Why so sudden?"
"Your mother was busy starting a business and had something to do. She called me and asked me to pick someone up."
Tian Ye called Mark, and Mark called Wang Xiaomi.
Having said that he would not go to the gym, Wang Xiaomi probably would not go to the gym either, so he could go home early.
"How is my mother's business going?"
"How do I know this? If you want to know, you can call her and have a chat."
Starting a business is not an easy task. Based on Mark’s understanding of field abilities, he should still be at the PPT stage.
"Otherwise, forget it. She won't tell me if I ask her."
"No, if she doesn't tell you, she can tell you this."
Mark still hopes that Ma Li will ask about the field, so that Mark can keep track of the situation there at any time.
"Agate."
Mark has picked up Manao several times, and there will never be a situation where the teacher doesn't recognize him and won't let Mark pick him up. This time, the pick-up went relatively smoothly.
"My dad is here to pick me up. Guoguo, let's see you tomorrow."
Mark called Manao, and Manao was saying goodbye to the female classmate next to him. At a young age, he showed the tendency for girls to be more important than their fathers.
"Is this the legendary Guoguo?"
Looking at Manao who was reluctant to leave the little girl, Mark asked Ma Li next to him.
"That's probably it. Look at how inseparable your Manao is from others."
Ma Li also felt a little disgusted.
Manao really didn't show much promise.
"When Manao does something good, he is your brother. When he does not do well, he becomes my only child. Don't you feel guilty for doing this?"
"It's not a shame!" Ma Li replied without hesitation.
"Where are dad, sister, and mom?"
After Manao said goodbye, he walked towards Mark.
This time, we didn’t miss each other for a long time, so we didn’t miss her too much. What the son missed most was his biological mother.
"Your mother has something to do. You go back with your father and sister today."
Mark touched Manao's head and explained.
The child's hair is a bit long and needs to be cut. It doesn't feel as good as before.
"Manao, have you finished saying goodbye to your female classmate? We are going to play today, why don't you invite me?"
Ma Li joked about Manao.
"Where are we going to play? I'll call Guoguo?"
This child was also quite upright and did not hear Ma Li's teasing.
"Okay, everyone has left, and you still have to catch up, so you can make a difference, okay?"
Mark grabbed Manao who was about to run away.
"Dad, why are you holding him back? Manao can just invite him if he wants to. Isn't this little girl quite cute?"
Ma Li sometimes just enjoys the excitement without taking it too seriously.
"How can there be such an invitation? If you want to invite others to play together, you have to agree with their parents to find a weekend time and invite everyone to play together. How can others have time like this?"
"Dad, can I invite Guoguo to see the penguins?"
"Don't ask me about this. You can ask me when I can completely control you."
Mark couldn't go home directly with Manao.
Such a big child cannot hold it at home.
What I like is to have fun outside.
I first gave my children a haircut outside, and then went to the arcade to play video games. I played until the two children were hungry, and then went home to cook.
"field."
Someone knocked on the door, and when Mark opened it, there was a field again.
"I'll take Manao back."
"Why are you coming here so late? Just let the child sleep here."
Mark originally thought Manao was staying at home today.
"It's better to take him back. He's used to sleeping there now."
Tian Tian's reason really didn't bother him. Mark felt that Manao was more accustomed to sleeping in his own small bed at home.
"Manao, Manao, mother is here."
"He is playing with Lily in the house, please come in and sit down first."
Mark invited people in, but he couldn't let people just shout at the door.
"Mom, I want to play with my sister."
Manao came out of the back room and asked Tian Tian.
Ma Li also has no generation gap with anyone. She can play well with Mark, and she can also play with Ma Nao.
"Mom is here, we should go." Tian Tian said to Manao.
"I don't, I don't want to leave."
Manao and Tianye were also stubborn. When they were having fun, they were suddenly interrupted, and they were unhappy no matter how they thought about it.
"How about letting Manao stay here."
Ma Li said for Manao.
"How about we let the two of them play for a while?"
Mark went to get a glass of water, and when he came back, he happened to see this situation.
"Then Manao, you can play for a while longer, but you can't make any more noise and leave."
"Mom, why do we have to live separately from my father and sister? I don't want to be separated."
Manao was still not happy and blurted out.
"Ma Li, please take Ma Li back to the house to play."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This problem is difficult to explain to the child Manao, so Mark chose to divert Manao's attention.
"Okay, I'll take Manao to the back room to play, and you two can do it yourself."
Ma Li took Manao directly back to the house, and now Ma Li was very happy to create opportunities for the two of them to get along.
"How's your business going?"
Mark and Tianye sat down in the living room.
"It's okay." This is a polite answer.
"I never asked, what are you going to do?"
"Fang Yuan and I have already decided that we want to do beauty treatments and open a beauty salon."
In addition to being good at hotel management, Tian Ye also knows a lot about the beauty industry.
A lot of free time is spent on beauty treatments.
If you want to become familiar with the industry, there are really not many choices in the field.
Although the beauty industry has always been very popular, in this era, there are really very few industries that do not require curling.
In comparison, it is easier to earn money from children and women.
Speaking of itself, the beauty industry is not impossible.
"How far are you in preparation?"
"The preliminary preparations are almost complete."
"As long as it goes well."
In fact, Tianye had a lot of difficulties. First of all, there was insufficient funds, but Tianye didn't want to say anything, so Mark didn't ask further, saving some face for Tianye.
Tian Ye's initial divorce was to pursue a better life.
After leaving Mark, the quality of life was not as good as before the divorce.
It is obviously a mistake to not be as good as before both materially and spiritually.
If you have to point it out, it becomes satire.
"I've almost comforted Mom. If you have time, you can go and see her." Tian Ye immediately changed the subject.
"Is this what you mean or what mom means?"
"It's what I mean, and it's also what Mom means. If you don't go there, Ma Li won't go there much. Mom is still too lonely alone."
The fact that Ma Li doesn't go with Mark doesn't actually have much to do with it. Ma Li doesn't spend much time with Mark recently.
"Okay, I'll go over and have a look when I have time."
After thinking about it for a moment, Mark replied.
It seemed that Ling Mingyu wanted to tell Tianye that Mark needed to give him some face.
"Second uncle, I found a particularly delicious hot pot restaurant. Let's go eat it together today."
When he was free, Wang Xiaomi sent Mark another message.
After getting to know Wang Xiaomi, Mark's mobile phone utilization rate has greatly improved.
"It may be a little later today. I need to take Ma Li to her grandma's house."
Mark explained to Wang Xiaomi.
"Can I come with you? I haven't met your mother yet?"
"We haven't established a relationship yet, so why have we reached the stage of meeting our parents?"
As long as Mark keeps pulling back, the relationship between the two people will not progress so fast.
"Let's lay a foundation first. Just say that I am your friend. Let's leave a good impression on your mother first."
If it weren't for preconceptions, Wang Xiaomi's character is actually quite likable.
So it is normal for Wang Xiaomi to have this confidence.
"My mother and Ye Tian have a very good relationship. Even though we have divorced, we are still very close."
Mark was embarrassed to say that Ling Mingyu was closer to Tian Tian than to Mark, but the hint was quite obvious.
"Your mother likes her daughter, right? Then she should let her meet me first."
"It's still not possible. Lily is going today too. After you go, when you introduce me to my mother, will you be called Wang Xiaomi or Dai Anfen?"
Mark used his trump card, and Wang Xiaomi had a headache about this matter.
Between two people, this is a big problem now.
Ma Li still doesn’t know Wang Xiaomi’s real name.
I didn’t know that Wang Xiaomi had any intentions towards Mark.
No matter how you explain it to Ma Li, Ma Li will definitely blow up.
It would be better to make an appointment as early as possible for this kind of thing.
But in order not to make the relationship stalemate, Wang Xiaomi hopes to talk to Ma Li when her relationship is better. I believe Ma Li will be more accepting of it.
"Ma Li, let's go see your grandma today."
"Comrade Lao Ma, is it already so difficult for me to want to practice boxing?"
"There's no way, there are just so many things to do, one thing after another."
Although Mark is more fishy at work.
But after work, there are still many things to do.
The two children, Wang Xiaomi and Tian Ye, are a few people who I will meet often.
Ling Mingyu, classmates, colleagues, friends, this is also a must-have communication.
Although not as frequent as before, we still have to meet and get together several times a month.
"You are single now, why are you busier than when you were with my mother again?"
"It was originally a matter for two people, but now I have to do it alone. Of course, I will be busier than before."
In the past, Mark basically only had gatherings with some classmates and colleagues, which was of course much simpler than now.
"See what your grandma likes and get her some."
Going to the courtyard to see Ling Mingyu, they still needed to buy some things, so the two of them went to the supermarket first.
It’s okay if you don’t come often, but politeness is still important.
It's a pity that Ling Mingyu is not the kind of parent who is obsessed with money, otherwise it would be the easiest to deal with it.
"Take some of these snacks, my grandma likes to eat them, and some of these."
Ma Li also knew very well about Ling Mingyu's hobbies.
Grandfather and grandson actually spent a lot of time together in the past.
"Mark, Lily, you are here, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
When the two of them arrived at the courtyard, Ling Mingyu was still sitting in the courtyard busy working.
The busy thing is actually three meals a day.
There is nothing serious to do. I have plenty of time to cook slowly.
And I can do whatever troubles me.
If she didn't insist on getting involved in Mark's affairs and preferred the fields, the old lady could actually live a very happy life.
"Mom, I brought these for you. They are all what you like to eat."
Seeing that Ling Mingyu looked okay today, Mark followed Ma Li and said.
"No need to buy it for me, I don't need anything." Ling Mingyu replied to Mark, which was no different from his attitude a long time ago.
"We also have time today, so we came right over. You also know that during the beginning of school, my father and I have a lot of things to do."
"Even if you have a lot to do, you always need to eat. It's not troublesome to eat here. You two can eat here today."
"Forget it for today. You haven't prepared anything yet. We can stay and eat when something is prepared someday."
Mark had already made a hot pot appointment with Wang Xiaomi, so of course it was hard to stay. In addition to declining the appointment, he also winked at Ma Li.
"Grandma, we won't eat here today. We'll come back tomorrow."
Mary and Mark have a tacit understanding.
"Why are there no preparations? I have always thought that you would come, and I prepare a lot of dishes every day." Ling Mingyu took out a bag of vegetables from under the table:
“I ate here today.”
Ling Mingyu's performance made it difficult for Mark not to think that this was a premeditated thing.
Tian Tian persuaded Mark to come to the courtyard because he had communicated with Ling Mingyu.
"Grandma, let me help you pick vegetables."
"I'll help too."
Mark immediately understood what Ma Li meant. Since it was unavoidable, he should cook and eat early.
Old people like Ling Mingyu tend to eat earlier.
If you eat early, you can still catch the next show, so you barely have enough time.
"Eat, the dishes cooked today are all what you two like to eat."
"Grandma, your cooking is delicious. My favorite food is your cooking." Ma Li can always provide emotional value.
"If you like it, eat more. Get more of these ribs." Ling Mingyu gave Ma Li two pieces, then looked at Mark: "Mark, I heard that you have a new girlfriend, right?"
