"Dad, do you have any plans today?"

Seeing that Mark was dressed neatly for the big weekend and even changed into a new suit, Ma Li asked Mark.

"Um...yes, I have to go out."

Deciding to go to Wang Xiaomi to meet Wang Lanfang, it must be done sooner rather than later. If you go early, you can at least have a good attitude.

Taking advantage of nothing else to do on the weekend, Mark was going to show up to see Wang Lanfang's attitude towards him.

"It's almost noon, what should I do if you leave?"

"Aren't you going out with your classmates today?"

"How can I go out every weekend? I have an old father like you at home."

Ma Li has to stay at home on the weekend, and the cold war before is completely over.

"Then just wait for me to come back. I'll do it as soon as possible. But no matter how fast I am, I won't be able to come back for lunch. You go to your grandma's place for lunch, isn't she talking about you?"

"Are you going on another date? Wang Xiaomi doesn't go to work today?"

"When I come back, I will tell you in detail."

It would take a lot of time for Mark to go there, so he didn't want to delay any more, so he went out directly.

"Didi."

After arriving at Wang Xiaomi's community, Wang Xiaomi was already waiting for Mark at the intersection.

Although Mark has sent Wang Xiaomi off many times, he has never gone upstairs.

"Second uncle, where did you get a new car from? When you said you had arrived, I kept looking at the cars passing by. I never saw the car. I was ready to send you a message, but I didn't expect you to change it.

."

In order to coax Ma Li, Mark resumed commuting by bicycle. After driving the Cayenne home, he had been eating dust in the garage.

I came to meet my mother-in-law today. In order not to lose face to Wang Xiaomi, this car finally came in handy.

"I'll explain it to you about the car when it's okay. Help me get my things."

After Mark gets off the bus, he needs to take out the gifts first.

There are no men in Wang Xiaomi’s family, so it’s hard to give him cigarettes and alcohol, and ordinary gifts are not valuable and don’t seem sincere, so Mark can only buy some more supplements.

"Come just come, you bought so many things."

The four hands occupied by Wang Xiaomi and Mark were just enough to take out the gifts.

"Isn't it strange that there are so many people? I also wish your mother could have a better attitude."

Mark explained that if you bring more things, Wang Lanfang would not be able to give Mark a bad look as soon as he walked in.

"Xiaomi, is this your friend?"

Wang Xiaomi's house has a staircase. Before he reached Wang Xiaomi's house, an old man came downstairs and said hello to Wang Xiaomi.

"Uncle Zhang, this is my boyfriend. I will introduce him to you when I have time. Let's go back to see my mother first."

Wang Xiaomi was obviously very familiar with this old man and replied warmly.

Neighbors in a staircase house are inherently more familiar than neighbors in an elevator house.

Consider that Wang Xiaomi’s family is a native of Beijing.

The community is also a resettlement house, and there are many resettlement households.

Before living in the community, these neighbors had been neighbors for many years.

Neighbors are very familiar with each other, so it is normal for them to come and go frequently.

"Is this Dr. Zhang's uncle?"

After no one was in sight, Mark asked Wang Xiaomi.

"That's him." Wang Xiaomi's face turned dark when he mentioned this.

Helping Dai Anfen to settle accounts actually means nothing.

After Dr. Zhang was exposed, he went to the United States with his fiancée.

Of course, it's possible that he didn't go. Anyway, he didn't dare to show up in the capital because he couldn't find anyone.

"Hey, can't this old man just come out of your house?"

"He just came out of our house. When I went downstairs to pick you up, he was still at my house."

"This old man looks okay, how come he has such a nephew?"

Even Dr. Zhang is not only the old man's nephew, but also an adopted son, a child raised by the old man.

Mark is willing to say that the old man is good because the old man is the same type of person as Mark.

The old man's hair has turned gray, and he looks to be over sixty, the age at which he has retired.

I still miss Wang Lanfang, who is in his forties, and Mark misses Wang Xiaomi. They are both only ten years apart in age, so there seems to be no difference.

If the old man can handle Wang Xiaomi’s mother.

It was undoubtedly helpful for Wang Xiaomi's mother to accept the age difference between Mark and Wang Xiaomi.

"We're here." Due to the restrictions on stairs, the house cannot be very high. Wang Xiaomi's house has a total of six floors, and he lives on the third floor. It took only a few steps and a few words to reach Wang Xiaomi's house.

"Then let's go in." Looking at the hesitant Wang Xiaomi, Mark said.

"Mom, we are here."

Wang Xiaomi opened the door, poked his head in and shouted.

"Just come, come in." Then Mark heard the voice of a middle-aged woman who was quite enthusiastic.

"Hello, aunt."

After Mark entered, he shouted to the woman.

If this woman was not Wang Xiaomi's mother, Mark would definitely have called her eldest sister when he met her. Both of them were less than ten years old.

"Hello." After seeing Mark's face, Wang Lanfang was stunned for two seconds before coming back to her senses.

Mark's face is handsome, but it has nothing to do with youth.

Even Mark has been paying attention to skin care recently and his skin is in good condition.

But he would never be considered to be under thirty, at least thirty-five plus.

You can tell with a clear eye that there is at least a ten-year gap between him and Wang Xiaomi

"A little thought is not a sign of respect."

"Just leave it there." After seeing Mark's age, Wang Lanfang's enthusiasm disappeared instantly, and she just said politely: "Sit down."

Leaving Mark to sit down in the living room, Wang Lanfang took Wang Xiaomi to the kitchen, and the mother and daughter began to whisper.

After waiting for a few minutes, the two of them came out of the kitchen together.

After inviting Mark to dinner, Wang Lanfang reluctantly accepted the issue of Mark's age after a casual conversation between the two.

"Mark, right?"

"yes."

"I heard Xiaomi say you are a teacher?"

Wang Lanfang's attitude towards this question is okay, and his profession as a teacher is a plus.

The bottom line is not low, the top line is quite high, and the social status is not low.

Of course, the upper and lower lines are directly related to the level of the school.

"Middle school physical education teacher."

To prevent Wang Lanfang from having any unrealistic expectations, Mark said directly.

Wang Lanfang is also a traditional person. When her daughter's boyfriend comes to visit her, it is inevitable to adjust her household registration first.

"How old are you?"

"Thirty-five and sixty months."

"How old is this?" Wang Lanfang, as a pork stall owner, is very good at calculations and quickly reacted: "Isn't it forty?"

"Yes, you are right, math is really good." Mark said with a smile.

"You're forty and you're not married yet?"

"separated."

Mark said directly that it was better to be divorced than not to get married because others thought there was something wrong with him.

"Divorced?" In surprise, Wang Lanfang stared at Wang Xiaomi, expressing her dissatisfaction without breaking out directly, which proved that Wang Lanfang was well-educated, and continued to ask: "Then why did you get divorced?"

"Emotional discord."

Mark could only say this in a general way, and it was difficult to say any other reasons.
