Film and television started from Yan Jiecheng in the Siheyuan

"I like it, what's it to you?" Qiu Feng's defense was obviously broken.

"I'm not going to get involved in your family's 'kind father and filial son' affairs. It was you who insisted on showing off to me."

"Are you okay? If you are, don't delay me from buying soy sauce."

Qiu Feng said he didn't want to talk to Mark.

However, the excuse of sending people out, that is, "just to come and see them", really has a sense of history.

"It was nothing, but I saw you remembered something." Mark would definitely not let Qiu Feng run away.

"what's up?"

"Is your band still going on?"

"what happened?"

"A friend of mine is opening a business and wants to find a band. I wonder if you guys can do it?"

It’s not that Mark looks down on people, Qiu Feng’s band just takes on this kind of work.

It is considered respectable to attend the opening of a business. In order to survive and to earn some money, the band has to go to all occasions such as weddings and funerals.

Not to mention unknown bands, even well-known bands.

As long as someone pays, people will support the business opening.

"No, our band has disbanded."

"You really don't want to reunite? How are you going to survive now? You can't just rely on eating and drinking for free at Xiaomi's house. Even if you are Xiaomi's godson, this is not good, right?"

"Who is just eating and drinking for free all day? I have a career. Have you forgotten what I told you?" Qiu Feng's face turned even darker.

"Oh... you're taking photos of your pet, right? That shouldn't be a good idea. You're doing nothing all day, and you don't look like you have a good business."

"It's okay, don't worry about it. What's the relationship between us? Why do you care so much about my affairs?"

Qiu Feng obviously wanted to say that he was not familiar with Mark.

"I just wanted to thank you for your hard work in helping me take care of the kids and playing with my daughter Mary. I wanted to introduce you to some jobs, so I can give you some feedback and thank you."

Qiu Feng might not tell Mark the truth, and Mark still felt that a false answer would be more realistic.

"No need. I'm willing to take Mary out to play. It has nothing to do with whether she is your daughter, Mark." Qiu Feng said impatiently.

"Okay, go and do your soy sauce."

After getting the answer, Qiu Feng was no longer of any use to Mark.

"Aren't you going up?"

After being let go by Mark, Qiu Feng began to feel a little uncomfortable.

"I won't go up there, or you'll be embarrassed if I do."

Mark waved his hand and said that he had never planned to look for Wang Lanfang. Unless it was something serious, Mark had never planned to meet this cheap mother-in-law.

I know that Ma Li often plays with some members of Qiu Feng's band.

Mark only understood Mary's situation, but that didn't mean he had a solution.
When Ma Li took the initiative to find a band to play with, Mark told Qiu Feng that it was useless.

There was no way Qiu Feng would listen to Mark without bringing along Ma Li, a rare fan of the band.

According to Ma Li, children are in the middle school stage and are most likely to rebel and cannot bear to hear any truth.

It's just eating, drinking and talking about music with the band, which is not anything too excessive.

If it's too much, it will be distracting and affect learning, but Mark can't completely do without entertainment.

All we can do is provide more supervision and reduce the time Mary spends roaming outside after school.

The sensible thing about Ma Li is that she knows that the end of the semester is a test and she shouldn't play around when she's busy studying.

As long as Mark goes home with Mary after school, Mary will go home obediently.

Mark would send Mary home first every day.

During the period before the end of the semester, Ma Li was a good student who was eager to learn.

"Dad, my grades are okay, right?"

After getting the transcript back, Mary approached Mark with a flattering and credit-seeking look on her face.

"Okay, this time you're not just struggling in time."

The total score exceeded 500 points, which might not be a big deal for others, but for Ma Li, it was already a breakthrough.

"Dad, I don't have to attend the cram school anymore, right?"

"You don't have to participate." Mark nodded.

“Can I buy the guitar?”

"You really want it?"

This time, Mary thought about it for a little longer.

"You don't know, every time I go to the mall, I have to visit their Lexing."

"How about this, Dad will buy you a guitar and give you a crash course in guitar."

Mark thought about it and since Mary insisted, he decided to give her a try.

Anyone who has played guitar knows that if your hands get sore from playing for a few days, you may not want to play anymore.

"Interest class?"

"Yes, otherwise you wouldn't know how to buy it. Wouldn't it just make noise in the house? Torturing me and him is also torturing yourself?"

"I can teach myself. Dad, it's not easy for you to earn money, so let's save some money." Mary declined. Mark knew without asking that Mary wanted to learn from the members of the Mirror Band.

"I've already bought a guitar, why would I want to save money for interest classes? If I really want to save money, I'd rather not buy a guitar."

Mali was just looking for the reflectors for fun, which is definitely different from really learning.

In order to prevent Mary from giving up, Mark still supports Mary to study systematically.

"Didn't we agree to travel to the south for the winter? If I have to go to interest classes, how can we go out?"

"You'll be given priority. You can go to class for a few days, and then we can go play."

It’s a one-month vacation, and there are a few days for the Chinese New Year in between.

Unless you don't plan to spend the New Year at home, this time is not enough.

I have less than ten days of free time before the New Year, and I use this time to travel around the country.

It’s not that you can’t have fun in Southeast Asia, but it’s really a rip-off, so it’s better to do it in China.

If Mark sends Mary to interest classes, he will consider canceling his plans before the New Year and going out after the New Year.

"Isn't this unfair to you?"

"I have nothing to feel wronged about. I decided to travel just to broaden your horizons. Otherwise, why would I go again when I have been to all these places before?"

"Let's buy the guitar first." Mary said after hesitating.

"Do you need me to accompany you?"

"Aren't you coming with me?"

"Xiaomi's pet shop has a batch of new pets coming in. I have to go take a look."

"Okay, go ahead and I'll buy the guitar myself."

The business in Lao Han's store is really average. As a pet store, it often only receives goods once every two weeks.

The last batch that came in didn’t please Mark, so he had to wait another half a month before Lao Han made another order.

Almost a month had passed since Mark first told Lao Han about it.

"Uncle, do you like any of these?" Wang Xiaomi said to Mark. "How about this Border Collie?"

Mark looked again and the one that caught his eye the most was a black Border Collie.

“Is this scarf a three-way one?”

"Yes, this is the one." These dogs wearing scarves do look better when they are symmetrical.

"Why don't you keep it in the store for a while?"

"No, just take this one home. You should keep it in the store for a while. I want you to get more familiar with it."

Last time, Wang Xiaomi chose a little Corgi and kept it in the store so that the dog could recognize Wang Xiaomi more.

"Old Han, you gave me a set of pet supplies." Mark called out to Old Han. It would definitely not be a good idea for Mark to settle the bill directly with Wang Xiaomi. No one answered, so Mark asked Wang Xiaomi next to him, "Where's Old Han?"

"Old Han is not here. She took Dai Anfen home."

Lao Han was not in there giving the pet a grooming or bath or anything like that; he was really not in the store.

"How did they develop so quickly?" Mark asked in surprise.

"There's nothing wrong between them. It's just that Old Han's family urged him to go on a blind date, but he didn't want to, so he took Dai Anfen back home to deal with it."

"It's not as simple as you think. Old Han has finally figured it out!"

"What's the point of him? This is in exchange for three days of vacation. You don't think Xiaofen really has any feelings for Lao Han, do you?"

Wang Xiaomi replied disapprovingly, still thinking that there was no hope for Old Han.

Wang Xiaomi is with the two of them every day, so of course she can see clearly.

But since he is not materialistic, Wang Xiaomi completely ignores the magic of the power of money.

"That's enough. Three days off for another opportunity. What else can you be dissatisfied about?"

What effect Lao Han can achieve by bringing the person home this time depends mainly on whether Lao Han's family is low-key or high-profile.

If Dai Anfen lived in the entire courtyard, she might think it was the ancestral property of the old Han family. If we count the assets, the old Han family must have a lot, but they may not be rich in reality.

But if you live in a big villa, there is no doubt that you have a certain level of financial strength.

"You're right." Wang Xiaomi thought of this as a date and nodded in agreement.

"It seems that it is effective. You can see it clearly." Seeing Wang Xiaomi's innocent face, Mark replied: "Let's prepare a set of things and wait for Lao Han to come back and settle the bill directly."

With Wang Xiaomi being the only one in the pet shop, Mark felt embarrassed and handed the shop over to Lao Han, and the two of them went out on a date.

Accompanying Wang Xiaomi to work is also a way of waiting for Lao Han to come back.

"Mary, come and help me."

Old Han didn't let Mark wait too long. Not long after lunch, Old Han returned to the pet shop alone.

After paying the bill, Mark took the dog and pet supplies home.

“Why are there so many things?”

Mary put down the guitar in her hand and walked towards Mark and said.

Maiji can pack the dog himself and bring it back. Mary is sure that Mark bought the dog much faster, so it is not surprising that she got home before Mark.

"After all, this isn't a rabbit, so a cage is enough."

Mark bought a lot of things, including cages, dog food, dog houses, toys, leashes, shower gel, animal hair dryers, etc. This was the most meticulous way Mark had ever raised a pet.

"Dad, this puppy is pretty!"

Mary took the puppy from Mark's words and said in her arms.

"How's it? Better than your rabbit?"

If Mary could divert her interest, Mark could get rid of the rabbit.

Although the rabbit is Mary's pet, it is Mark who usually takes care of the rabbit. In this respect, Mary is the same as other children who have pets.

For Mark, it was quite boring to raise rabbits but not be able to eat them.

"How can they be compared? Puppies are cute in their own way, and rabbits are cute in their own way." Mary sat down on the sofa holding the dog and said, "Does it have a name?"

"not yet."

"Shall I give it a name?"

"Row."

"Let me think about it and give him a resounding name." Mary thought for a moment and said, "All of us have the surname Ma, so why not give it the surname Ma? Martin, Marseille, and Mas are all good. Which of these three do you think is good, Dad?"

"Mary, Manou, Martin, you are lined up quite neatly. If we go out together and I call you, those who know this is a dog will think you have a younger brother, and those who don't will think it's polite."

Mark replied with a dark face, in fact, it would be just as neat if Mark's name was added.

The name that Mary gave to the pet was completely different from what Mark had in mind.

This can be said to be a generation gap between two generations. For Mark, pets are just pets, but for Mary, pets can be a form of emotional sustenance.

"It's easy to be misunderstood." Ma Li said embarrassedly, and she also felt something was wrong: "Why don't you try one?"

"Xiaohei, Erhei or Dahei, but it can't grow very big, at most it's a medium-sized dog." Mark said concisely.

"Forget it, I'll do it. I won't give it the surname Ma. I'll just call it by the last name. Let's call it Dingsese. It's still a foreign name."

"That's fine. This name will make people feel that you are good at English." Mark replied after not feeling there was anything wrong.

"My English was already pretty good, and I've improved so much this time, haven't you noticed?"

Mark scored over 100 points in English, which is indeed a good result for him.

"Is your foreign teacher really better than Old Sun's?"

When Mary mentioned this, Mark thought of Lao Sun. The two hadn't been in touch for some time.

If the foreign teacher is really good at teaching, the possibility of Lao Sun going back to school will be greatly reduced.

Although it did not affect Lao Sun’s survival, being dismissed from the school in the last few years had a great impact on the realization of Lao Sun’s personal value.

"At least I think he teaches better than Mr. Sun, and the key is that he is much more handsome than Mr. Sun."

If it is Ma Li's personal opinion, foreigners are actually not as good as Lao Sun.

"Ma Li, when did you become so superficial? Is it enough for a teacher to be handsome? Then what's the point of having old teachers like us?"

When he liked Korean groups, Mark felt that Mali was a bit superficial.

But Mark liked the band Mirror Band, whose members were more weird than each other, and he felt that Mary had begun to understand the inner meaning.

Unexpectedly, a foreign teacher would make Ma Li return to superficiality again.

"Aren't you superficial? If you weren't superficial, why would you choose a girlfriend so young?"

"Hey, let's talk about your problem, why are you talking about Wang Xiaomi?" Mark was sure he couldn't stand it. Huu changed the subject, "Give me your guitar. How can such a thing cost less than ten thousand yuan?"

In fact, it is just to practice guitar, which is the easiest instrument to learn.

If you want to reach a good level, the cost is not small.

Simply put, studying seriously and taking the college entrance examination is the easiest way to get into the university.

"Shall I play a song for you?" Mary said confidently.

"Come on." Mark naturally did not refute Mary's nature.

"Lily, you should go to the interest class tomorrow. I'll take you there for a while."

After listening to it, even though he is his own daughter, Mark could only say that Mary’s guitar skills are hard to describe.

I can't say I can't play it at all, but I can only play a little bit, and it doesn't sound good. (End of this chapter)
