With classes a few days to go, Rock and Peggy agreed to go to Leonard's house, and as determined by the phone call, Sheldon Jr. and Mary would arrive in the afternoon.

So the two of them prepared to go to Leonard's house after having lunch at noon.

At the same time, listening to the "drip" sound that had just appeared, Shelton, who was at the airport, helplessly explained to the staff at the security checkpoint:

"That's just because of the coin in my nose that Billy stuffed, he's my neighbor's kid, and I used to help him tutor so he didn't have to repeat a grade......"

"I love Billy's masterpiece." Mihi interjected.

The security officer heard Sheldon Jr.'s explanation clearly, but he still asked him and George and the others who came to see him off to the other side for further inspection.

At the time of the inspection, Sheldon still chattered: "I understand and appreciate your behavior, but please don't forget to bring gloves, thank you." ”

"That's what he is." Sighing, George explained helplessly: "We used to encounter this problem every time we took him on a plane. ”

Mishi was very unbalanced after hearing this: "Why has Sheldon been on a plane several times, I haven't taken one once so far, and I want to go together." ”

George shrugged his shoulders, in front of outsiders, he was reluctant to say that their family's poor finances did not allow the family to travel by plane together, and the cost of Mary's sending Sheldon over this time was provided by the university.

The security screener nodded, thinking that maybe he shouldn't have to deal with the child, but he didn't expect that little Sheldon was being inspected and said to Mihi:

"Don't worry, although you are my twin sister, with your IQ, you will definitely not be able to become the most valuable scientist to mankind like me in the future.

You can only work in service occupations such as flight attendants or waiters, and then you will have the opportunity to fly. ”

George next to him noticed that the security inspector's originally slowed down expression had changed again, and quickly explained: "He didn't mean that, he respects your work very much." ”

"That's right!" Mary also quickly added: "He likes people who work in uniform the most." ”

"That's true." Little Sheldon didn't perceive his parents' intentions, had no awareness of the possible danger, and still nodded without a look:

"While everyone knows that your simple work doesn't make a comparable contribution to humanity as scientists, I do like the well-organized workflow and the ......"

Seeing that the situation was critical, George quickly covered little Sheldon's mouth, glared at him and said, "Shut up, Sheldon." ”

"But ......"

"Stop talking!" Mary also hurriedly glared at Sheldon, for fear that if he said anything more, he would be troubled by the airport personnel.

When Missy saw this scene, her mood suddenly improved.

Seeing the security personnel go through the whole process one by one, the movements during the period are very standard, and every step is extremely careful.

made Sheldon uncomfortable for a while, but because her parents could only hold back their expressions, she was not in a hurry to send Sheldon home at all.

Here Locke and Peggy drove to Leonard's house, and it was Leonard's father who opened the door.

"Hello, Alfred." Locke and Peggy greeted each other with a smile.

"Hey Locke, and Peggy." Alfred ushered the two into the house: "When I heard that you were coming, Leonard got up early to prepare. ”

"You're coming, come in and sit." As soon as I entered the door, I saw Leonard running over to say hello.

"Looks like you've been waiting for a long time." Locke glanced at Peggy and felt that when it came to something related to Peggy, Leonard would be much more positive than usual.

"Where's Beverly?" Alfred asked.

"Mom is getting ready to pick up Sheldon at the airport." Leonard said with some unhappiness: "Obviously Mrs. Cooper said no. ”

"It's social etiquette, I can't remember when you were taught so rude, Leonard." It was Beverly, who had just come downstairs, who spoke.

Leonard could only bow his head, and couldn't help but curse the damned Sheldon again.

From the moment Beverly discovered Sheldon, she quickly focused all her attention on little Sheldon, and with the similar personalities of the two, Leonard felt completely ignored and full of jealousy towards Sheldon.

If it weren't for the optimistic personality of the acquired Dacheng, and the fact that he could often contact Rock and Peggy to dispel these negative emotions, even an optimistic person like Leonard might have turned black.

Familiar with the Leonards, they sat in the living room and chatted, but most of the time Locke and Peggy were talking to Alfred, and Beverly would occasionally interject on topics of interest.

Leonard, on the other hand, sat beside Peggy with some restraint, peeking at Peggy from time to time, occasionally echoing his remarks.

After a while, Beverly pushed her glasses and glanced at the clock in the living room:

"It's a pleasure to talk to you, but I'm going to pick up Sheldon and his mother, Lady Mary, and it's up to Alfred to greet you next."

After Beverly left, the atmosphere in the living room seemed to be more relaxed, Alfred looked at the time and said that he was going to prepare dinner, and Leonard invited the two to his room to play chess.

It wasn't until Beverly returned from the airport that the trio returned downstairs to greet little Sheldon and Mary.

Sheldon Jr. was very happy to be able to come to Princeton to attend college, and he was in a very good mood all the way, until he saw Rock and Peggy.

Peggy, a genius girl, is regarded as a fierce rival by Sheldon, and every time she sees her, she feels uncomfortable, and Locke hits him a lot, making Sheldon almost burst into tears several times.

Little Sheldon's reaction made Leonard's heart not to mention the darkness, and it also made him temporarily let go of the troubles of little Sheldon living at home.

There is also the fact that Lady Mary is very enthusiastic about Rock and Peggy, especially Locke.

Compared to Beverly, she is more optimistic that Locke can take care of little Sheldon at school, and has repeatedly asked Locke to take care of Sheldon at dinner and report to her more about Sheldon's situation at school.

After dinner, Rock and Peggy drive back to Berndere, Peggy goes upstairs to read a book, and Julie pulls Susan over to visit.

"Thank you for your willingness to help, since my divorce from my ex-husband, my current income is based on a small amount of alimony and a job as an illustrator for calligraphy and painting.

I don't have much income, I have to pay property taxes, Julie's tuition, insurance premiums and other expenses, the financial situation has been bad, and in two years, Julie will go to college, and I have to prepare for her college tuition......"

"It's okay, let's see if there's anything we can do to help." Locke listened as he quickly flipped through the tax materials Susan had brought.

"Part of our tax this year is still paid by credit card." Julie emphasized, making Susan's expression even more awkward.

"It's okay, Ms. Susan." Locke suddenly asked, "Where do you paint at home?" ”

"Hmm~, it's basically in my room or living room, and sometimes it will occupy the dining table, because things are messy, and I even need to ask Julie to help me find them."

"Good." Locke nodded and said, "I think you can consider fixing part of your home as your studio, so that you can use the proportion of the studio occupancy to deduct the corresponding tax proportion." ”

"What!?" Susan was a little confused, feeling confused.

Julie, on the other hand, was more perceptive, looking at Locke, waiting for further explanations.

"So Susan, how big is the living room on the first floor of your house, or your painting studio?"

"If it's just a living room, it's about 40 square meters, and we can go back and measure how much." Julie finally got what Locke meant.

"Good." Locke chuckled and kept going: "Susan, how do you usually buy those materials for painting. ”

"Usually I drive my own car."

"It's the studio's official car." Locke emphasized: "And your garage, which is also the garage of the studio"

"Yes, it's the studio's official car." Julie smiled and nodded: "And the garage." ”

Then, after Locke's reminder, Susan finally learned that she had a lot of tax deductibles, and if you counted them, she could get a large tax refund.

Now she finally understood why Julie had to pull her over and ask Locke to help with the tax file, and her heart was full of gratitude to Locke.

"Thank you so much Locke, I heard Julie say that you want to ask me to give you calligraphy and painting illustrations, and I am willing to help you for free!"

"That's very polite, the cost of the illustration is paid by the publisher and included in the price of the book, so you don't have to do it, not to mention that you just said that you have to prepare for Julie's college tuition."

"You go back and measure the size of the living room and garage, and I'll leave these tax filing materials with me first." Locke smiled and said:

"Call me when the living room is measured, I'll help you calculate it in detail, and you can file your taxes according to my template in the future, as for the remuneration, just find an opportunity to invite me to a meal."

"Definitely." Susan happily shook Locke's hand: "Thank you so much! ”

"It doesn't matter, everyone is a neighbor, and it's right to help each other."

Watching Susan and Julie leave, Locke returned to the study and glanced at Peggy, who was still reading, and was also busy.

With his current situation, he doesn't need to bother to help others file taxes, and even his own taxes have now been handed over to a special accounting team to solve.

But Susan lives on the opposite side, and the two families can be said to bow their heads and don't look up, and Locke will live here for the next few years, so naturally he will have to manage the neighborhood well.

In particular, Susan is also one of the four core housewives of the plot, and since he can easily help with his ability, it will also be of great help to trigger tasks in the future.
