Film and television started from Yan Jiecheng in the Siheyuan

"Can't you talk about this?" Tian Ye thought for a long time and threw the question back to Mark.

"Of course I can, but you know I'm not good at talking, so I can't come up with a good excuse. I can only tell mom what's going on."

Since they are no longer husband and wife, Mark certainly doesn't need to continue to take the blame for Tian Ye.

"Then let me talk to mom." Tian Ye looked at Mark resentfully, obviously feeling that Mark was not as obedient as before.

"Okay, let's not delay this matter any longer. It would be bad if the old lady found out about these problems from the child. Without someone by her side, she might get really angry and do something bad."

Not to mention that you can't teach children to lie, even if you teach Manou, Manou won't be able to keep such a thing a secret.

"I will tell Mom about our separation this week."

It was just a normal chat, but there was a hint of anger in Tian Ye's eyes.

"OK." After responding, Mark turned to look at the two children: "Lily, let's go home."

"Dad, I want to have dinner with you. We haven't had dinner together for a long time." Mary didn't reply to Mark and pushed Manou out.

At Mary's signal, Manou ran to Mark.

"Why are you eating with me? I don't like to serve you. Be obedient and go back with your mother. Your mother likes to spoil you. Let your mother take you out to eat. Eat some fast food or something. Don't you like it the most?"

The two people's little movements were so obvious that Mark could of course see that Manou's behavior came from Mary's instigation.

Mark and Tian Ye were walking behind, and the two children in front were obviously not idle either, and were also having their own conversations.

"Dad, I like the food you cook. Your food tastes better than mom's!"

Mark swallowed his saliva when he saw Manju. This should not be the result of Mary's teaching.

"How is that possible? You have always liked the food your mom cooked for so many years. Don't bother trying to make me happy. I have already received your kindness."

Mark knew that Manou was sincere in what he said, but Mark also really didn't want to feed Manou's bad mouth.

The most important thing is that Manou is not alone, there is a field following him.

"Dad, you haven't had dinner with Manou for a week. What's wrong with us going home for a meal? No matter what, Manou is still your son!"

Ma Li's words were so harsh, obviously intentional.

"Lily, do you really want to take the agate back?"

“Manou is my brother, of course I want to be with him.

"Then go talk to your mother."

"say what?"

"Let's take Manou home. It's a question of whether Manou should stay at home today or your mother should come and pick him up after dinner."

"What's there to discuss?" Mary began to speak out:
"My mom will go back with us. Even if you two are in a cold war, can't you even have a meal together?"

The saying that Ma Li was going to have dinner with him was just an excuse. The most important thing was that Ma Li wanted the two of them to be together.

"What do you think?" Mark asked Mary, which of course meant no.

"Lily, you guys take Manou back. I'll go get him later."

Tian Ye might have been tempted, but seeing Mark's firm attitude, she could only refuse.

"Manou, you live with your mother, are you doing well?"

"No, no one wants to play with me."

"So do you want to go home and live?"

"Yes, I still prefer living with my dad and sister."

"Then can you move back and live with us?"

"No, I can't bear to leave my mother either."

After getting in the car, Mary took the opportunity of talking to Manou to light up Mark.

Maybe he was so anxious because he saw Mark's resistance to Tian Ye.

This daughter is very smart, and she uses her intelligence in her daily life.

"Ma Li, can you talk to Manou about something else? He's just a child, how can he stand your teasing all the time?"

Originally, Manou was confused and had no reaction to his parents' separation.

If Mary keeps guiding the child, he might finally wake up and realize the problem.

"Then let's not talk about this." After trying several times without success, Ma Li didn't insist any more: "Manou, let's talk about your girlfriend."

"What girlfriend?" This question was a bit special, so Mark asked further.

"It's Guoguo, the girl who goes to the same kindergarten as him. Manju likes her very much." Ma Li replied.

"Isn't it just a female classmate that Manou likes to play with? What's the point of talking about a girlfriend?"

Mark complained to Mary that there was nothing wrong and it was just a joke made by Mary.

"I want to ask her out to play on the weekend." Manou said slowly at this time.

"Sure, Manao, you are more promising than our father."

What Mary should be saying is that agate is better at winning women's hearts than mark.

Since Mark hadn't been home for several days, there was naturally no food at home.

If you want to go home and cook, you still have to go to the supermarket to buy vegetables first.

By the way, replenish the fruits and snacks that are lacking at home.

The three of them walked around the supermarket for quite a while and only finished their shopping trip when they bought two shopping carts' worth of stuff.

After arriving home, Mary went back to her room to do her homework. She was more comfortable in the kindergarten, sitting on the sofa and watching cartoons, the classic cartoons "The Windmill" and "The Pretender".

Mark naturally started cooking.

The three of them all have their own things to do, and it's actually quite harmonious.

When my son grows up and stops making trouble, I may consider bringing him back home.

"Dad, you and my mom are going to get a divorce, right?"

After the meal was almost cooked, Mary finished her homework and went to the kitchen.

"Aren't we all still calm?"

After thinking about it, Mark did not admit it directly, but he still needed to wait a little longer.

Ma Li has just accepted that her parents are separating and their relationship is having problems.

It will take at least ten days or half a month to calm down.

"Dad, you two are not calm now, are you both frozen?"

Mary rolled her eyes at Mark and said.

"How do you say that?"

"You were really cold to my mother today."

Neither of them thought about pretending in front of Mary, and Mary could see that it was actually quite normal.

"It's a cold war. What kind of cold war is this, caring, warm and thoughtful?"

"You weren't like this before."

"What was I like before?"

"No matter how it was before, you always cared about my mom, not like today."

“Am I very different today than I was before?”

"It's quite big. Have you forgotten how you helped my mother carry her luggage before? Now you don't even want to have a meal with her." Ma Li began to doubt: "Dad, did you meet someone outside when you went out?"

"I've met so many people outside, all kinds of people. Who are you talking about?"

Mark said perfunctorily.

Then Mark thought about the difference in attitude towards the fields, and there was indeed some.

Before the vacation, Mark could still treat Tian Ye normally, and it was not ruled out that he was close to Tian Ye. The main reason was that Tian Ye had no influence on Mark in any way.

After returning from vacation, Mark had the idea of ​​developing a new girlfriend, and instinctively distanced himself from Tian Ye. "It's a beautiful woman. I told you about a romantic encounter. I let you go through with it yesterday, and you still want to go through with it today." Ma Li asked with a posture of asking more questions.

"Lily, you think too much. What kind of beautiful woman am I going to meet? What kind of romantic encounter are you talking about? Can I come back early? Shouldn't I just stay out for a few more days?"

"No, you have changed so much. You must have been through something. Otherwise, your attitude would not have changed so much."

Mary knows Mark too well.

Mary can notice any small change.

The change in attitude cannot be explained by suddenly becoming rich.

"There is no such thing as experience. Separating from your mother is my new experience."

"Comrade Mark, I am your little cotton-padded jacket, your closest person, why don't you tell me what's going on?"

Mary will also seriously play the emotional card with Mark.

No one in the Ma family is so experienced in human relations, and being able to speak so well is entirely Ma Li's own talent.

"It's okay. I've even told you about my winning the lottery, and I've given you the card. This is a privilege that no one else has. You're so unique, there's nothing I can't tell you."

"Then tell me about your mental journey during this trip. I want to understand why you have changed so much."

"Let's eat and talk."

This will definitely need to be explained slowly.

While waiting for the meal to be over, Tian Ye came over to take Manou away, and the conversation between the father and daughter did not end.

"So, you really only want to have fun when you go out this time?"

After dinner, the father and daughter sat down on the sofa again and continued chatting.

Although a lot was said at the dinner table, it is simple to summarize.

Mark's explanation to Mary was that after going on a trip and seeing the sea, his mind became open and he suddenly had an epiphany.

I learned to respect Tian Ye’s choice and respect Tian Ye’s pursuit of his own life.

"Can't you tell by looking at the photo?"

In order to prove that he had played a lot, Marco finally took out the photos.

"You played all this over there?"

In addition to taking pictures of sunrises, sunsets and scenery with his camera, Mark also used his mobile phone to check in at various landmarks.

Looking at so many signs, you can tell that Mark has not been idle and has been to many places.

"It's quite beautiful over there, and the photos are nice too."

"If you like it, I'll take you there next time."

"Let's talk about it later. I'm not in the mood now. I'm going to bed."

The next few days were relatively normal.

The father and daughter don't have much time to communicate.

Mark's life is pretty full right now. Although each schedule is not very busy, they are certainly planned.

In addition to daily classes at school, I also have to gradually take over the work of grade sports group leader.

Hold a meeting with school leaders and convey the spirit of the meeting to other physical education teachers.

Then after get off work, I still go about my part-time job.

Go to the gym to exercise and help with some sales.

Mark didn't necessarily want to earn commissions from these personal trainers, mainly because he hadn't worked much in the gym this month.

I have to make some contribution to the gym. It would be bad to ask the gym to hire me as a part-time worker, as that would mean I would just lose my basic salary.

Mark still couldn't let his own students down.

Mark did not recommend himself for the several private lessons he helped sell, but recommended other coaches.

Then you still have to go to the new house to supervise the problems with the water and electricity lines.

These lines will be buried under the floor. If you don't check them now, it will be troublesome to change them later.

Mark no longer had time to cook, so Mary was free.

After school, I go out with my classmates to eat, shop and play.

At this age, middle school students have so many things to play with.

Even Mark could tell that Mary went to a live concert.

Because Mary came back too late, Mark did not pursue the matter on the spot, but Mark still kept it in mind.

On Friday, Mark went out to buy some groceries and prepared to cook at home.

And informed Mary to go home for dinner.

He wanted to talk to Mary about the issue of musical aesthetics. If necessary, Mark didn't mind hiring a professional teacher to help Mary learn to appreciate music.

"Lily, are you home?"

"Dad, you're back." Mary came out of her room and replied.

Mark had to go to a part-time job after get off work and go shopping for groceries, so he once again didn't finish school with Mary.

After buying the car, the time that father and daughter spent together going to and from school did not actually increase.

During school time, the two of them spend more time together.

After school, we all have more time to be busy with our own things.

"It's okay, just go and do your own thing. I just want to ask if you are home."

"Let me cook with you. I don't have anything to do."

The weekend is coming soon, and Mary will have a lot more time, as she doesn't have to go home to do homework.

"Okay, please help me pick and wash the vegetables." This was all Mary could do in the kitchen.

It’s not that Mali has no cooking skills, but her cooking skills are limited to the simplest ones.

"Dad, you really didn't meet anyone when you went out last week?"

Before Mark asked Mary, Mary asked Mark first.

"Why are you asking this question again? Didn't I tell you all about it?"

After feeling guilty for a moment, Mark replied firmly.

"Do you think the title of Second Uncle is familiar?"

Mary asked, staring into Mark's eyes.

"What do you know?"

This is obviously Wang Xiaomi's nickname for Mark.

If Mary hadn't discovered something, she wouldn't have known this name.

"Tell me first whether you have met a girl or not?" Ma Li asked in a questioning tone.

"It was a girl, but there are many girls who go to the beach. You can't ask me to report to you every girl I meet."

When he didn't understand the situation, Mark chose to hold on.

At most, this matter involved Marco and Wang Xiaomi, who played together for a few days.

There was nothing beyond friendship. The two people just met by chance and didn't do anything excessive.

"You've always said you didn't have any romantic encounters, so I tricked you into revealing it!"

"What did you trick out? I met a girl, but it had nothing to do with an affair. Where did you hear the name Second Uncle?"

What Mark is more curious about now is what Wang Xiaomi did.

Mark changed a lot of the plot. The most important thing was that the two people did not sleep in the same room, and Mark did not keep Wang Xiaomi's photo.

In this case, how and why did Wang Xiaomi find Mark? (End of this chapter)
