"Our rare guest is finally here. Lao Ma, you have really changed. When we played together before, you were quite active, but now you are the last one to come for dinner."
As soon as Mark entered the private room, he was teased by several colleagues.
Mark is really out of the clique.
"I'm not a rare visitor. You put it like this, as if we haven't seen each other for a long time. You guys, I can't see you ten or eight times a week. When I came here, I was blocked on the road and was delayed.
Give me a moment, give me a hug, everyone, give me a hug."
Mark clicked here mainly to reduce Wang Xiaomi’s social interactions.
Otherwise, if a new member of the small group comes too early, he or she will be chased by others asking questions.
"This is your mysterious girlfriend, right? She is indeed young enough. She lowered our average age in an instant. For the time being, we can return to the Thirty Regiment."
"Let me introduce to you, this is my girlfriend Wang Xiaomi, this is the school's math teacher...Chinese teacher..."
In fact, there are not that many people in small groups. We can gather two tables of mahjong together. Normally, we just gather at one table to play cards. It cannot even cover all the subjects for middle school students.
"It's enough to get acquainted. If you want to know more about me, I have plenty of time. Let's sit down first and let the restaurant start serving food."
I got to know a circle of teachers and family members. When all the family members were waiting to ask questions with gossipy faces, Mark stopped him in time.
"Lao Ma, come here and do it, let's sit together."
Then Lao Sun enthusiastically pulled Mark to sit together.
Lao Sun and Mark were next to each other, and the two women were on either side. This distance was not bad.
But when Old Sun’s wife saw Old Sun’s enthusiastic attitude towards Wang Xiaomi, her face immediately dropped:
"Mark, I was not in good health before and I didn't have the energy to worry about other things. I never had time to ask you, why did you get divorced suddenly?"
"Sister-in-law, how is your health now? You are recovering well. If someone gives me the physical examination card after a while, I will send it to you and you can go over for a review."
Mark didn't really want to give it away, he just wanted to remind his grandson-in-law that Mark had just done something for her, and it was still a favor, so he should restrain himself for the sake of face.
"You bitch, what are you talking about? Lao Ma was so considerate of the two of us before, why did you open your mouth and poke at Lao Ma's heart?"
Lao Sun saw what Mark meant, gave his wife a pestle and said.
"Mark is fine, why are you so anxious? We have been friends with Tianye for so many years, what's the matter?"
The old grandson's wife directly returned the favor to the old grandson.
Lao Sun is the standard kind of shrewd daughter-in-law.
Not to mention in private, even in public, the grandson's wife would not consider saving face for the grandson.
"What else could be the reason for the divorce? There is a rift in the relationship. How can we live a long life if we are noisy all day long? You have to ask for details and ask Lao Sun to tell you when he comes home. He knows everything about the situation.
"
Mark actually didn't quarrel with Tian Tian. He said this just to mock his granddaughter-in-law.
"Then how did you two meet? With such an age gap between you, you shouldn't have any chance of contacting each other?"
The old grandson's wife's face changed a little, but she still didn't give up asking for more details.
"The two of us met while traveling outside."
The old grandson's wife came to Wang Xiaomi specifically to tell her that she didn't want to hear it. It was like looking for trouble, which aroused Wang Xiaomi's desire to fight back.
"After the divorce, didn't I go on a trip to relax? That's when I met him. We got to know each other but didn't have much contact. I didn't expect that after returning to the capital, we met again."
Seeing that the expressions of other family members were wrong, Mark added after Wang Xiaomi.
"Then what do you like about Teacher Ma?" the old grandson's wife continued to ask Wang Xiaomi.
"I like him to be mature, steady, handsome, and a teacher. You may not know that girls my age like their steady middle-aged male teachers. Many of my sisters envy me
, you can find a boyfriend like Mark."
Wang Xiaomi, this is complete nonsense.
Middle-aged male teachers are not considered popular, but successful men are more attractive to young girls.
Not everyone is Wang Xiaomi. In this era, Wang Xiaomi is still an outlier.
The purpose of such heartless remarks was obviously to find fault, to see the old grandson's daughter-in-law's pettiness, and to deliberately arouse the old grandson's daughter-in-law's jealousy and sense of crisis.
"Okay, Lao Sun, no wonder you are so enthusiastic about this game. Is it just to get to know Wang Xiaomi so that he can introduce you to a little girl? You also find a little girlfriend so that you can kick me out, right?"
The old grandson's wife's temper is like a dynamite bag that will explode at any time.
Regardless of time or occasion, he got angry at Lao Sun.
"What are you thinking? If I think this way, will everyone bring their families?"
Lao Sun's temper is relatively good, especially when it comes to his wife. If he wasn't good, he wouldn't have been able to live with her for so many years.
After his wife became angry, Lao Sun thought that instead of replying, he immediately tried to appease her.
"If you don't call us here, can Mark come with his little girlfriend? What do you men think? No one knows better than me that there is no good thing in such a frivolous thing?"
The old grandson's wife obviously agrees that whoever speaks louder is justified, and her voice becomes louder and louder.
"Just eat, why are you arguing?"
"Old Sun family, don't be angry or quarrel."
"If you really can't help but get angry and quarrel, don't expand the scope of your attack."
What kind of person is my granddaughter-in-law?
Everyone here, except Wang Xiaomi, has known each other for at least ten years and knows them well.
The old dead wife suddenly lost her temper, and the others were not so surprised.
Even when trying to break up a fight, he did so calmly and without being impatient.
"Lao Ma, come with me to the bathroom."
Lao Sun used urine escape and took Mark with him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Tell your little girlfriend, can you ask her to spare me and ask her to stop being angry?"
Lao Sun used the urine escape, of course, not to actually go to the bathroom, not to the point of being scared to the point of peeing, but to ask Mark for help.
"You have also seen that at Wang Xiaomi's age, it is inevitable that she will be young and energetic, so how can she be willing to suffer a loss? Your wife has always been arrogant in her words, and there are thorns in her words. How should I tell Wang Xiaomi, can you control your wife?"
Mark didn't think Wang Xiaomi had done anything wrong. It was always the old grandson's wife who stirred up trouble. It must be aggrieved for Wang Xiaomi to step back.
Mark indeed had no reason to ask Wang Xiaomi to give in.
Mark doesn't owe his grandson's wife any favors either.
"If I can control you, why would I drag you out?" Lao Sun sighed:
"Old Ma, you have to help me. We are all very busy. It is not easy to get together. It would be great to have a good meal, chat and drink some wine. Let my girl stir up the trouble and spoil everyone's fun.
How can I explain it to everyone?"
"We have been friends for so many years, and we don't know who is who. As long as you and your wife don't jump on the table and start a fight, you won't be able to delay everyone's meal."
No matter what it is, after seeing it too much, you will become resistant to it.
No one would blame Old Sun for losing his temper with his wife in front of everyone.
It can be said that those who cared were all screened out of the small group.
The matter is far less serious than what Lao Sun said.
"Lao Ma, have you learned bad things from your little girlfriend, and even if you see your brother die, you will not save him?"
"Let's do this. I'll think of a way for you. I'll try my best. Don't stop saying that I didn't help you."
"any solution?"
"After you get back, you should talk about more topics. If your wife wants to talk, just interrupt her. Don't give your wife so many opportunities to talk, and nothing will happen."
It was impossible to keep the old grandson's daughter-in-law silent. No one at the dinner table could do it.
But I don’t have to give my granddaughter-in-law so many opportunities to talk.
"Then you have to cooperate with me."
"Cooperate, I will definitely cooperate, I also want to have a meal in peace and quiet."
"Oh, I really don't know why my wife is so resentful about you two."
This can only be said that things hurt their own kind, and I feel the same way.
Even without Mark and Wang Xiaomi, the old grandson's wife had been thinking about this matter all day long.
"Yes, those who don't understand the situation will not think that I have found a girlfriend, but they will think that you have found one."
The granddaughter-in-law's sense of crisis has been fully realized, and she has a strong sense of involvement.
This can be regarded as Lao Sun himself knowing that the marriage between the two has entered a dangerous stage.
But after knowing about it, the old grandson's wife did not change herself, but strictly guarded against the old grandson.
"Second uncle, your colleagues' gatherings are really boring."
Generally speaking, Wang Xiaomi didn't have much fun attending Mark's party other than to declare herself.
"There is a generation gap of three years old. There is at least five or six generations gap between you and us. It is normal for us not to be able to talk to each other. You can't ask everyone to be as young as me."
Whether we are talking about family harmony, educating children or supporting the elderly, these things have nothing to do with Wang Xiaomi.
Wang Xiaomi has no children, and his wife is not old either. She has not reached the stage of raising children, so it is normal for her not to participate in the conversation.
"Second uncle, don't you want me to get involved with you?" Wang Xiaomi's understanding is beyond perfect.
"No, I really like showing you off to them, but I just don't want you to be embarrassed."
Although women didn’t give Mark and Wang Xiaomi any good attitude.
But the envy in the man's eyes couldn't be hidden, which gave Mark enough emotional value.
This kind of gathering will not be fruitless for Mark.
Showing off in front of acquaintances will still give you a greater sense of accomplishment than showing off in front of strangers.
"Then next time you get together, if you call me again, I still don't believe that I can't conquer these middle-aged women.
My mother and I can treat each other like friends. If you don’t believe me, I can’t deal with them.”
Wang Xiaomi doesn’t know where his competitive spirit comes from.
"They are all in their 40s and in menopause. Their husbands don't dare to compete with them. Why should you compete with them?"
Daughters of this age are not easy to mess with, not only with men, but with women as well.
"If I want to be with you, I will naturally integrate into your life. Just call me. If Ma Li's mother can do things well, I can naturally do them too."
"Have you heard anything? Why are you so excited about Ma Li's mother?"
Mark suspected that Ma Li had said something to Wang Xiaomi while chatting in the gym that day.
For example, Mark likes women like Tian Ye.
"No, I haven't heard anything."
"It's fine if you don't have one. You don't need to compare with her. You have to be like Ma Li and her mother. So what's the difference between me and someone falling in love?"
It would be better if two people like this have completely different personalities and ideas.
After he was busy with things outside school, Mark became busy with school things.
The school team game is not over yet.
As the knockout stages of the city basketball tournament progress, schools can still remain.
The strength of each school team is much stronger than before. The weak ones can be considered as eliminated.
Once the opponent becomes stronger, it won't be so difficult that Mark can just hang up and win.
Mark's coaching work continued to increase.
Understanding the opponent's strength and analyzing the opponent's weaknesses has become what Mark must do.
The training of the school team has also increased a lot.
Especially before each competition, targeted training must be carried out.
Although it is not as long as the previous tactical training.
But the frequency is much higher. Mark stays at school for half an hour to an hour more every day.
"Teacher Ma, you are leading the students to train. Teacher Ma, your guidance is really good. The competition is really exciting."
At the end of the training session, Mark just picked up his mobile phone and was about to ask about the situation of the two women around him. Suddenly, a middle-aged woman came to Mark's side.
"Who are you?"
"Have you forgotten, Teacher Ma, we have met, I am Jin Zhuangzhuang's mother."
The woman said as if she knew Mark very well. Seeing that Mark was still not impressed, she pulled a fat man over.
"Oh, Mrs. Jin, hello, hello."
I know this little fat guy Mark, he is Ma Li’s classmate.
If Mark hadn't been a school teacher, the two would have been considered parents of students in the same class and had a common social software group.
"Zhuang Zhuang, come and tell Teacher Ma yourself."
Mrs. Jin pulled her fat son, who was taller than herself, in front of Mark.
"Teacher Ma, I want to join the basketball team."
Jin Zhuangzhuang said.
"You want to join the basketball team, why? Look at the school team members. They all look tired after training." Mark asked Jin Zhuangzhuang, pointing to the school team members resting on the playground.
Not many fat people like to exercise. If they really like it, they probably won't become fat.
Most students like physical education classes, but Jin Zhuangzhuang is one of the few who doesn't.
When I was in physical education class before, Jin Zhuangzhuang liked to be lazy the most.
There were so few such people, and Mark was deeply impressed.
Many old teachers cannot remember the names of outstanding students after teaching for decades.
Just remember that naughty students must be the reason.
Compared with the ordinary, the alien is more impressive.
"Coach, I want to play basketball!" Jin Zhuangzhuang shouted to Mark.
"We have watched too many cartoons. This is not right. This is the animation we watched in that era."
Mark, who was yelling at Jin Zhuangzhuang, muttered in his heart: "Mrs. Jin, can I have a few words with Zhuangzhuang alone?"
"Then you guys chat, and I'll prepare some water for you."
