"Alright, they're almost there."

George, who was waiting at the exit of the airport, looked at the time, then at his wife with an anxious look on her face, and comforted:

"Don't worry, Sheldon won't have anything to invite, and Locke will accompany him."

"I know, I know, but Shelly isn't even twelve yet, and he's never been away from me for so long." Mary still had a worried and anxious look on her face, and kept looking towards the exit of the airport.

Mihi, who was standing on the sidelines, pouted, and if it wasn't for the sake of seeing Peggy again, she wouldn't want to follow.

She and Peggy had been good sisters for a while.

That was her happiest time, because Peggy was just as smart as Sheldon, and the two of them played together.

This made her feel very happy when she faced all kinds of intelligence ridicule from Sheldon since she was a child.

Peggy is not only her friend, but also has some fantasies about her sibling love.

But as time went on, she found that she was able to talk less and less with Peggy, and Peggy spoke more and more like Sheldon.

After that, her contact with Peggy was almost gone, as if Sheldon never played with her, and every day she cared about knowledge that she didn't understand at all.

But deep down, he still likes Peggy very much, and he misses the time when he was a sister to Peggy.

So when she heard that Peggy would come back with Sheldon, she offered to come with her to pick up Peggy, just to see Peggy again.

As for little George, he can't study anymore, and now all he wants to do is find a way to make money, and he hasn't taken high school classes for a while.

After all, according to his idea, if he continues to study, he will not learn anything, and instead of wasting time in school and staying in the classroom with nothing to do, it is better to work a few more jobs to earn money.

"Here they are." Mary saw her baby Shelly at first glance: "Hurry up." ”

"Mr. Cooper." Locke also spotted George, who was developing more and more horizontally, at a glance, and greeted them one by one.

It took a while to let go of little Sheldon, and Mary smiled, "Thank you for sending Shelly back, Locke, do you want to go to our house together, I have prepared a good barbecue." ”

"You're welcome, Sheldon is also my friend, and I'm going to send Peggy home next, and I have arrangements with my friend." Locke smiled, "I'll visit in a few days." ”

"Okay, have fun, then." George glanced at Ashley and Tang Wei beside Locke, and said in his heart that the young people now are more expensive than we played at the beginning.

"Long time no see, Peggy." Mishi greeted Peggy, "You're getting prettier." ”

"The same goes for you." Peggy smiled and said, "How was it in middle school?" ”

"It's funny, and I became the best pitcher on the baseball team." Mihi happily shares her achievements with her little sisters.

"Very good." Peggy nodded, "It's a pity I couldn't get to watch your game." ”

"It's okay, I have a video of the game, and when you come to my house, we can watch it together."

"Okay."

Mihi took Peggy's hand and chirped, looking very happy, but Peggy's reaction was calmer and more polite.

Soon Mihi, who has high emotional intelligence, discovered this, and couldn't help but feel lost in her heart, and the time of the little sister in Xindao was still gone after all.

"Hey, that's a lot of weight." George took Sheldon Jr.'s luggage: "What's in it." ”

"It's my comics." Little Sheldon said very bluntly: "I don't have time to watch it when I am at school, so I will make up for these missed highlights during the holidays." ”

"Are you still reading those comics?" Thinking of the pictures she had seen in comic books, Mary, a devout believer, felt uncomfortable for a while, but she couldn't help it, after all, her son had these hobbies.

When the Sheldon family drove away, a man in a suit and leather shoes soon walked over: "Is it Mr. Locke?" ”

"It's me." Locke glanced at the other party.

"I'm a salesperson at Porsche, and according to your request, the car you booked by phone is parked on the side of the road in front, please come with me."

"Okay." Locke nodded, followed the other party to a roadside outside the airport, and saw the car he had booked, which was also his means of transportation in Texas during Christmas.

After a brief check in the driver's seat, confirming that the license plate and insurance were all in place, Locke signed the contract and settled the balance with a check.

"Alright, let's get in the car." Locke beckoned Peggy, Ashley, and Tang Wei to get in the car and head all the way to Peggy's house.

"Mihi seems to be a little disappointed." On the way, Locke said casually.

"She also has to get used to it, after all, people always have to grow, and at some stage, they always have to say goodbye to some people in the past."

"Now it's past the time to play with dolls with my little sisters," Peggy said. ”

Locke nodded, he didn't say anything about you being only twelve years old, Peggy was more precocious, he already knew that he was more concerned about one other thing:

"Peggy, is there something going on in your house, when I called before, I felt that something was wrong with them."

It stands to reason that when Peggy came back for Christmas, the Barry couple must have someone to pick her up, but now they want Locke to send her back, apparently because of some changes in the family.

"They're separated." Peggy said calmly, "Grandma told me that Dad now goes to the bar a lot, and Mom has found a new date. ”

"What?!" Locke was also slightly stunned.

Unexpectedly, although his intervention allowed Linda to get out of Peggy and delay the breakdown of the Barrys' relationship, it still failed to prevent it from happening.

"You're all right, are you?" Locke looked at Peggy with some concern.

"Nothing."

Peggy said calmly: "Hormone-led love is like this, when the passion subsides, there will be all kinds of problems, far less than a soul-compatible partner, you don't have to worry about me being affected too much." ”

Of course, Locke understands this, because the child feels ignored or something, to a large extent, it is an excuse for himself, and the real reason is that the feelings are weak, after all, everyone has heard the saying of the seven-year itch.

The relationship is flat, and the United States has always been 'right' to freely pursue its own happiness, so it is no wonder that the divorce rate has remained high.

He could tell that Peggy was saying what he thought, but it was impossible to be completely unaffected.

Especially when he thinks of the impact of the Barry couple's divorce on Peggy in the original plot, it's hard for him not to worry about Peggy's state.

"Okay." Locke reached out and rubbed Peggy's head: "When I am on vacation, I will rent a suite in a nearby hotel for a long time, and then play around, if you are interested, you can join us." ”

"Okay." Noticing Locke's concern, Peggy smiled and agreed.
