"Dad, Mommy wants to talk to you."

After waiting for about twenty minutes, Tian Ye calmed down Manou, and Manou returned the phone to Mark.

"Okay, you've fulfilled your wish to see your mother, go wash up by yourself, and don't bother your father."

Mark answered the phone after instructing Manou, and then Tian Ye's questioning voice came from the phone:
"Mark, what did Manou say? He didn't see you much over the weekend. You didn't take him out to play this weekend?"

"Tian Ye, I don't want to listen to you talking like this. Even if Manou didn't see me very often, he still saw me. You've been gone for a few days, but Manou hasn't even seen you once."

Mark walked back to the bedroom and replied to Tian Ye's video.

Although Mark also felt that he had let his son run wild these past few days, it was not right for Tian Ye to question him.

In pursuit of freedom, Tian Ye became a single parent of two children without asking for their opinions.

Even if Mark is not a perfect father, he is still better than Tian Ye as a mother.

"I just moved. I just bought furniture and was busy all day. I haven't decorated the house yet." To prove that he was telling the truth, Tian Ye showed Mark the room:

"Wait for me for two more days. Once the arrangements are completed, I will take Manou over. Please take good care of him during these two days."

Tian Ye is a person who has some obsessive-compulsive disorder. Even if he rents a house, he will change the bed, wardrobe, curtains and other things.

Things can be simple, even crude, but they must be made with a lot of skill.

Ordinary people will certainly feel disgusted, but the difference between people with mysophobia and ordinary people is that ordinary people can make do with it, but people with mysophobia will feel uncomfortable when seeing it, and if possible, they will not be able to make do with it at all.

"I will take care of my son. If you are worried, you should quickly settle your place and take Manou over." Mark replied impatiently, "That's it. I have a lot to do."

"Hey... I haven't finished yet."

"There's nothing more to say, let's just leave it at that." Although Tian Ye looked like he wanted to say something, Mark simply hung up the video.

When they got married, Mark was completely controlled by Tian Ye and didn't even think about divorce.

"Dad, I'm leaving first."

After a good night's sleep, it's Monday morning again, which most people don't like.

"You won't come with me?"

Before, both of them went to school by bicycle, so it was okay for Mary not to wait for Mark.

Now Mark has to drive to work, so Mary doesn't have to ride her bike anymore.

Although the school is not far from home, taking a bus is always more comfortable than riding a bike.

Mary is not really a cycling enthusiast either.

"If you still want to send Manou, I won't go with you. Today is Monday, and we need to get to school early."

After replying, Mali hurriedly changed her shoes and went out.

Students, like workers, are often in a hurry when they go out.

"Okay, then drive slowly."

Manou really should go to the fields earlier, otherwise he will become an obstacle to Mark and his daughter's closeness.

After Mary left, Mark fiddled with Manou again and sent her to kindergarten.

It was still the same old routine. After sending the child over, I called Ling Mingyu and asked the child's grandmother to pick him up in the afternoon.

"Teacher Ma, is this your car?"

The school guard didn't recognize Mark's car and stopped it for him.

This is another gate of the school, which is the entrance and exit passage for faculty and staff’s vehicles. It does not require going through the main gate and affecting the normal entry and exit of students.

"It's my car, please help me register it."

Mark replied to the guard.

This is one of the few jobs in the school that is more leisurely than Mark's job as a physical education teacher.

The only bad thing is that this school is a private school, and there is no regular security guard, so the security is not that secure.

"Teacher Ma, congratulations! You have been blessed with so many good things. You just bought a house and a new car. It's double happiness!"

The guard took a quick photo and wrote down the number, then spoke to Mark.

"You already know about buying a house?" Mark asked in surprise.

The car is parked here and you can see it at a glance, but whether the house has been bought or not is not something you can tell at a glance.

"It's not just me who knows about it. Everyone who should know about it knows about it. It's basically spread all over the school. Several of you teachers bought houses as soon as the quotas came down."

This news spread everywhere, of course mainly among the teaching staff.

"Okay, I don't have any prepared today, I'll prepare some wedding cigarettes for you another day."

This favor is mainly for convenience. In fact, the security guards and faculty members don't really get along well with each other.

"Lao Ma, I heard that you bought a house and a new car. What happened to you? Did you get rich?"

The school has so few employees, so news spreads quickly.

After the first get out of class, Lao Sun, who was closest to Mark, came to Mark's office.

"What kind of car do I have? Go and look at it yourself. A car is not as valuable as your four wheels. What's the point of showing off this?"

Mark was very glad that Porsche didn't have the car in stock and didn't drive it over directly, otherwise someone would have been jealous.

Lao Sun has a pretty good relationship with Mark, and he is not envious but not jealous, but I can't guarantee that for other people.

When it comes to teachers' income, Mark actually has the lowest.

Maybe in terms of salary, for those with the same professional title and teaching experience, everyone is about the same.

In terms of bonuses, Mark can get about the same as ordinary teachers thanks to the students' sports expertise.

However, Mark, a physical education teacher, earns far less outside of school than other main subject teachers.

Other teachers either teach in cram schools or tutor students privately.

The income is several times higher than the school salary.

It can be said that teachers earn no less than programmers in the Internet industry.

It was also because the income was too considerable that caused the subsequent chaos.

As a physical education teacher, Mark already has the most leisurely job.

It’s really hard to pretend to be the richest.

Otherwise, some people have fragile hearts and it’s really unbearable.

We have to give these people some time to accept it.

"Support domestic products, support our national products, you are this." Old Sun gave a thumbs up: "Wai Rui, Good!"

"I can support domestic production, but you can't support it this way, Mr. Sun. You have localized the imported English. Foreigners can't understand your localized English. What's the point of students learning from you?"

Lao Sun’s teaching ability is actually quite good.

Every year, I teach a lot of students from Peking University and Tsinghua University.

Even though it is easier for students in Beijing to get into these two schools, these students are at least the top students in Beijing.

They are also those with the best results among tens of thousands of people.

Lao Sun’s teaching ability is also worthy of recognition.

It's Lao Sun's spoken language, with a local accent and a plastic smell.

This is the point about Lao Sun that is most likely to be made fun of.

"Lao Ma, others are talking about me, why are you talking about me too? Your spoken English is not as good as mine."

"Lao Sun, have you never heard of the authentic London accent? My English is standard English Mandarin in England, so how come it's not as good as yours?" It was hard to say before, but now Mark's English is quite standard, after a lot of practical training.

"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore, let's talk about business." Old Sun put away the sloppy expression on his face and replaced it with a serious expression.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"Old Ma, have you discovered some way to get rich? You just bought a house and then a new car."

Old Sun pulled over a chair and whispered to Mark with a mysterious look on his face, obviously afraid of being heard.

Lao Sun is a person who likes to play cards.

But when it comes to money, I am still quite ambitious.

I have a son studying abroad, and it costs tens of thousands of dollars every year.

There is no way that Lao Sun would not work hard.

"How can I get rich? If I had a way to get rich, I would have gotten rich long ago!"

Mark planned to invest the remaining one thousand or so of his own savings into the stock market.

Although Mark is very confident that he can achieve asset growth, there is even a high possibility that his assets can be multiplied several times.

But when investing in the stock market, you lose more money than you lose.

Mark really couldn't persuade people to enter the stock market, which is a bottomless pit.

Since it was impossible for Lao Sun to follow Mark in buying, Mark simply didn't mention it.

"You bought a house and a car. I heard that you picked the largest apartment. With your salary, can you afford it in your lifetime?"

Lao Sun obviously doesn't trust Mark, but the character that Mark usually shows is definitely worthy of trust.

The main reason why Old Sun is still holding on to it is because of greed.

"You, Old Sun, don't rely on the school's salary to make a living, but I, Mark, do. I've been working here for nearly 20 years, so how can I not even be able to afford a housing quota?"

Mark’s main point is denial.

The salary within the school is easy to calculate, but no one can calculate the income outside the school unless you tell them yourself.

"Do you make so much money as a coach in the gym? No wonder you like to go there so much." Lao Sun could only guess.

"Haha." Mark smiled. Old Sun no longer had a clue about the situation.

In fact, being a trainer in a gym is really profitable.

It’s just that Mark didn’t make any money.

"I won't tell you anymore. I have a class next period. I'm not like you as a teacher who doesn't even need to prepare lessons."

"Old Sun, don't be so jealous. Although I don't have to prepare for class, I need to watch the games of other school basketball teams."

In order to make Lao Sun and other teachers feel balanced, Mark tried his best to find things to do.

"..."

Lao Sun might be a little more depressed, because the competition among high school students is actually quite exciting.

After Monday started, Mark's life continued as usual.

One more thing is that Mark needs to visit the new house occasionally.

Review begins as soon as the drawing design begins.

After the decoration team moves in, occasional supervision is also necessary.

Although the decoration is all-inclusive, it can be left to the decoration company for acceptance.

But if you don't get involved, the house can end up in any style.

Many times, the finished house looks nothing like the design.

"Dad, why did my mom take Manou away?"

On Tuesday night, Tian Ye finally took Manou away. It was the child that Tian Ye picked up from the courtyard herself.

When Mark and Mary arrived at the courtyard after school or get off work, Manou was nowhere to be seen.

Mark was very happy, but Mary's emotions were a little complicated.

"That's your mother. Isn't it normal for her to take the children away? You are her children." Mark replied to Mary.

"No, where did she take Manou? Didn't she say her unit was organizing a study session? Could she have taken Manou to her unit?"

Since Tian Ye appeared in front of Lao Ma's family, the excuse of studying at the unit was self-defeating.

"Well, I took him to the unit."

"You are fooling fools." Ma Li said angrily. Ma Li was the most angry in the Ma family at the moment: "Dad, tell me the truth, are you and my mom separated and she moved out?"

"You have guessed it, so I won't hide it from you. We are indeed separated, but this is our business and it does not affect you and Manou."

The time was right, so Mark admitted it.

When it comes to informing Mark of the divorce, we have to proceed step by step, otherwise it will delay Mark's future affairs.

With such a big daughter, Mark couldn't help but care about his own reputation.

"I was wondering why she had so much luggage when her company organized a study session. You guys decided to separate a long time ago. You've been acting with us these past few days, right?"

Mary said in annoyance.

In fact, when Tian Ye packed his luggage and left that day, Ma Li had basically confirmed the fact that Tian Ye had moved out.

I have never been completely sure, and it is because Mali is unwilling to accept it emotionally that I have been holding on to a glimmer of hope.

"This is not called acting. This is called not letting our affairs affect your two children."

Although it was useless, Mark still tried to explain it as much as possible.

"Aren't we a family anymore? You two have gotten into this mess and you still don't want me to know. You don't want to let me know anything. Do you want to suddenly tell me one day that you're divorced?"

I have to say that children are smart and can easily discover the truth. Now Mary accidentally revealed the truth.

"Lily, there's no point in complaining to me about this. This is not something I decided."

In the future, Mark will be the same as before, and he can still help Tian Ye to take care of the children.

But now Mark will not take the blame for Tian Ye.

The divorce was proposed by Tian Ye, so the children should be made aware of it.

"Dad, it's okay. No matter what, you still have me."

Thinking of Tian Ye hugging another man, Mary immediately changed her attitude towards Mark.

This daughter is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

In Ma Li's heart, Tian Ye is at least a psychological cheater.

Mark is actually the biggest victim of this family breakdown.

After I came to my senses, I immediately felt embarrassed to complain to Mark.

"Yeah, I know you are one of them." Mark nodded touchedly.

"Don't worry, I will always be with you." Mary patted Mark like a little adult.

"I know, but I need to tell you that I can't accompany you for the time being."

"Why?" Mary looked distressed.

"The time for the two-person trip to Sanya that I booked has come. Although your mother definitely doesn't want to go, it's already been spent money, so I'm going to go to Sanya alone."
