"You can live like this for now, but even if I live in the house, half of it still belongs to you."

Mark said this generously, but in fact, even if Mark divided the house in half with Tian Ye, it would not change the fact that Tian Ye needed to move away now.

"Okay...but you can't sell this house until you can afford to buy a new one. You can't let Lily be left without a place to live."

Tian Ye thought about it for a moment, agreed, and still spoke with an attitude that he was thinking about the child in everything.

If you ignore the fact that all these things were done by Tian Ye herself, it does seem very wise.

"Don't worry, the children will be able to stay in the courtyard. If not, I will move back to the courtyard with them."

The most important feature of Mark’s status as a Beijing native is that he owns a courtyard house.

Although it is just a small courtyard with a small area, Mark does have the foundation to go home and rely on his mother for support.

My pension is just average, not enough for Mark to squander.

But at least I can live in a house and save some rent, so there's no problem with that.

"Didn't we agree that this should be kept secret from our mother first?" Tian Ye asked anxiously.

Not only does Tian Ye seem to be attentive to the children, she also seems to be attentive to Mark's mother.

The two of them got along very well before, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along like real mother and daughter.

Even now that the two have divorced, Tian Ye has not changed her tone towards her mother-in-law.

But consider that it was Tian Ye who proposed the divorce.

Having caused harm to the elderly and wanting to minimize the damage as much as possible, the filial piety must be discounted in some way.

"It's okay to keep it a secret for a while, so I didn't think about moving there right away."

This is just an explanation for the field. If possible, Mark would not be willing to move back.

Moving back to live with my mother would really affect Mark's desire to have some fun.

Since I'm on Tianye's side, I would rather rent a house outside than move back.

Of course, Mark also supported keeping the divorce a secret.

Even Tian Ye was concerned about the old lady's health, so it was impossible for Mark to not care at all.

"We need to give our mother some time to accept it..."

Tian Ye started lecturing Mark again.

There is a reason why Mark was able to be subdued so completely. He is good at talking about these things.

"Okay, I get it. It's getting late, I have to go to work." Mark replied impatiently.

I can't bear to hear that Tian Ye wants freedom and also wants to be a good mother and daughter-in-law.

I have already given up my family, and I don’t want to be this or that.

To put it nicely, he is not in a clear mind, but to put it bluntly, he is neither right nor wrong.

Without caring what Tianye was going to do, Mark rode his bike back to school.

If you don't consider the bad weather such as rain or snow, riding a bicycle to and from get off work is not a bad idea.

It only took a leisurely ten minutes to get to school.

After making a cup of wolfberry, Mark began to look through the lesson plan.

Prepare for next week's lessons.

But as a physical education teacher, I don’t prepare much for class.

Since there was nothing to do in the office, Mark gathered a few teachers and went to the playground to play basketball together.

After waiting for other teachers who were tired and needed to go to class, Mark returned to his office and played games on his phone.

Although playing games is somewhat childish, it is also nostalgic.

Most of the popular games have already been developed.

I don’t know if any team is developing the rest.

Mark could choose to make money by making games, but that is actually not that safe.

Although this situation is not friendly to developers, it is very happy for players.

In the afternoon, Mark had another physical education class.

Finally, I took the members of the school basketball team for routine training.

After taking the players through some basic physical tests, Mark changed his previous plan.

High school students do not need to practice tactics too much.

What you need to practice most is the basic skills, and in terms of tactics, just give the ball to the strongest person.

"Teacher, I want to play a game!"

"You haven't even learned to walk yet, and you want to run. What kind of game is this?"

Mark questioned the impetuous student.

The problem with no one being willing to persist in practicing basic skills is that they are rather boring.

Many professional athletes can't persist, let alone these students.

"So when can we play the game?"

For students, training matches are just a game.

If these people don't like basketball, there is no way they would actively apply to join the school team.

"If you want to play a game, you have to win first." Mark replied to the troublesome student.

"Teacher Ma, it's not a good idea for the two of us to fight, right?"

The student looked excited, but pretended to be reserved.

Mark was not in good health before.

Basically, it is just theoretical guidance and there is no actual application.

"There's nothing wrong with that. Just don't accuse me of bullying the young after you lose, and I won't accuse you of bullying the old. Let's be gentlemen."

Mark took a basketball and said.

Mark is 40 and the student is 18, what an age comparison.

One is experienced and the other is young and strong, so they can be said to be equal.

If you want these students to be more obedient and obey willingly, beating them up is an easy way to make them obey.

"It's not just him. As long as one of you can beat me in a one-on-one duel, I will agree to let you start training matches."

After speaking to the troublemaker, Mark added another sentence to everyone.

It's a pretty leisurely job, so it's okay to put in more effort within the limited working hours.

It's okay to lie down in your spare time, but there's no need to do that during the little time you have at work.

Most of these school team members are sports students in the school, so it would definitely be a good thing for them to practice more techniques.

The result of the practice was that none of these students could match Mark.

Mark didn't even have to use physical force to bully people, his technique alone was enough to deal with these students.

Although Mark's basketball skills are the result of many lifetimes of training, it is still better to win than to bully others with brute force.

After everything was cleaned up, Mark's prestige in the basketball team increased greatly.

In the future, no student will dare to refute casually.

Teacher Ma, why are you arguing with your students? "

The process of Mark challenging the entire school team alone also attracted a lot of onlookers.

A one-on-one fight could be considered a lively event.

Although it is class time, most students are in the classroom.

But there are still quite a few teachers who are idle and students who are taking physical education classes.

"The league is about to start, let's give these students some intensity."

Although fish frying is not as exciting as a evenly matched confrontation, it certainly has its own joys.

The joy of bullying weak opponents can only be enjoyed by experiencing it yourself.

Mark had a lot of fun challenging more than a dozen students in turn. This kind of life was very comfortable.

Although I am a teacher, I can play games and balls and don’t have to study. I am experiencing the full joy of my student days.

"Teacher Ma, how are these students?" The PE teacher next door asked Mark. "Not bad. If they practice hard, they will have a chance to win a place in the league."

Among all the students in the whole country, this group of students is definitely not good enough. None of them have extraordinary talents that can be seen at first glance.

But in district and city competitions, you still have a good chance if you practice more.

Only because there are many schools and students in Beijing, otherwise Mark would still be confident that he could lead his students to win medals.

"Congratulations, Mr. Ma. The basketball team is going to achieve great results again."

"No, Mr. Zhang, your track and field team is pretty good too, and there are a few good players."

In line with the principle of friendly coexistence, Mark followed the business mutual praise.

The physical education teachers are generally quite harmonious with each other. They each teach different projects and there is no major conflict between them.

There was only one sports team leader who could compete, and the benefits were few, and no one particularly cared.

"I can't compare to Mr. Ma, a famous teacher who produces outstanding students. The school really made the right decision to give the housing quota to you, Mr. Ma."

"Housing allocation indicators?" Mark muttered to himself for a moment before continuing, "Is my name on the list this time? Everyone has a chance and can get a spot."

"Your name, Mr. Arima, has been notified." Teacher Zhang said with a smile.

The teacher didn't have any other emotions, mainly because he didn't have much experience.

It was a situation where he couldn't get a place in the housing allocation no matter what he did, but with Mark's sports points, he finally saw some hope.

"Really? That's great." Mark also showed the expected surprise.

"It's true. Even if you didn't go back to the office, you should have been able to see it if you had."

Including the physical education class, Mark spent a total of three hours on the playground.

"Then I won't say anything more. I'll go check the notice."

The matter of houses has always been considered a big deal.

Mark needs to go back and think about the housing allocation indicators.

The source of the indicator is of course the school. The salary at a private school like the one Mark works at is not much higher than that at a public school.

In order to retain talent, providing teachers with more benefits is a way to win their hearts and minds.

"More than 50,000 per square meter?"

After disbanding the school team, Mark went to find out about the housing allocation.

The house has a floor area ranging from 80 to 140 square meters, and it has some welfare features.

There is only one real estate project that does not allow for location selection, has only a few apartment types, and no luxurious options like large flats.

The price fluctuates around 50,000 depending on the floor and apartment type.

Compared with the current average house price of 70,000 yuan in Chaoyang, it is still much cheaper.

The location near the school is good. Houses near the school are of course more expensive. This price is roughly two-thirds of the normal price of commercial housing.

It’s a big discount, but for Mark, there is still a big gap in buying a house.

Even if he bought the smallest house of 80 square meters, the money Mark had would still be several dozen short of the down payment.

Not to mention the renovation and loan repayment, Mark's current income is simply not enough to support it.

"If I were to buy one, I'd buy one with 140 square meters. At least I could have a large master bedroom, and my daughter and son would each have their own room. That way, the gap would be larger."

Until the day he was on his way to the gym, Mark was thinking about money.

You must buy the house. This kind of welfare housing does not wait for anyone. Once you occupy the quota, the house will be reserved forever.

I had never considered this before because Mark had only submitted an application and had no guarantee that the quota would be allocated to him.

So I have never made any preparations for the funds for the house.

It can also be said that Mark works part-time at the gym to earn extra money in preparation for buying a house.

It was just that after working for several years, Mark was unable to let go of his teacher's arrogance, did not sell private lessons to members, and did not make much money, which led to such a big gap.

"Teacher Ma, what happened? Why are you so absent-minded today?" the gym owner asked Mark.

Actually, Mark wasn't absent-minded, he just had exercised a lot today.

There is no need to continue practicing, and I don’t really want to guide members.

Thinking about my own things, I seem a little dull.

"It's okay... not really, I have something to take care of. That's all for today. I'll be back first."

Mark thought about it and felt that there seemed no need to go to the gym today.

I still ran over, but it was somewhat of a matter of getting used to it.

"Teacher Ma, what happened? Do you need my help?"

The boss continued to say that the reason why the gym’s business is so good must be related to the boss’s personal connections.

Whether it was sincere or not, the boss's attitude was always good.

"It's a small matter. I can handle it myself."

After dealing with it for a while, Mark hurriedly left home and went to the gym.

"Lottery station."

"Good luck."

"Perfect match?"

Originally Mark was planning to go home, after all, he was not single.

You don’t have to take care of your newly divorced daughter-in-law, but you still need to take care of your daughter.

But on the way back, Mark saw a lottery station and an inspiration came to him.

I never thought about this before because Mark has never been involved in these things and couldn't think of them for the time being.

But after seeing it, Mark immediately made the connection.

"Boss, can you introduce these types to me?"

"this is……"

The boss introduced himself.

"Forget it, no need to talk about it, just tell me which one will be drawn the fastest."

It sounded complicated, and Mark was too lazy to figure out the rules.

“That’s the one.”

The lottery shop owner pointed his finger and said.

"What is this, a scratch ticket?"

No matter how much you don't understand, you can still recognize the scratch-off mark.

"Scratch-off tickets are redeemed on the spot. They open in seconds. There is nothing faster than this."

The boss said as a matter of course.

Obviously, they haven't considered the possibility of a slightly larger situation.

"This one won't work. Let's try another one that has a prize-giving process."

"Then you can choose a number?"

"How would I know? Boss, just give me a hundred dollars."

Mark thought that with a hundred dollars as a foundation, he could definitely reach the upper limit of his luck.

"Then let the computer select for you?"

"can."

"I'll buy you ten numbers, five bets on each number, that's exactly one hundred dollars."

"OK." Mark gestured.

"I'm willing to trade my 'good brother' Zhao Ling's lifelong singleness for a burst of luck for myself."

Seeing the boss operate, Mark used the skill of "Lucky Star" and recited it silently in his heart.

With such a mysterious skill, Mark felt that he needed to give something, otherwise he would always feel a little uneasy.

"Good brother" Zhao Ling has been single for forty years. He has long been accustomed to it. If he continues to be single, he should not feel uncomfortable. (End of this chapter)
