American TV series: Start with the little Sheldon's wool

Chapter 104 Opportunity
Mike sent George to the door of the teaching building, and the two parted ways.

Next, Mike plans to report to the Mathematical Olympiad team.

"Hey, isn't this Coach George? Where are you going to pack up?" Greet just happened to bring his son to the door of the teaching building at this time.

At this time, he had a familiar smile on his face, and it was completely impossible to tell that he looked sorry for George before.

"Stop pretending, I've already resigned from the team. Now you're satisfied~" George frowned and stared at Gretel, not giving him a chance to get close.

"Don't say that, I have nothing to do with you leaving the team. It's all because of your lack of skill..." Greet put away the smirk on his face, and his tone became gloating.

"You can say whatever you want!" George, who had already decided to leave, didn't bother with the other party.He took one last look at the Melford campus, turned and walked out.

"Coach, I'm sorry, I didn't know my dad would be like this..." Sam, who was following his dad, took two steps forward, as if he wanted to lead his dad to apologize to George.

Sam also knew something about what his father had done.His bad personality has changed, and he vaguely realizes that his father's actions are wrong.

"No need to apologize, Sam. This is an adult matter and has nothing to do with you." George looked at his team members and his expression softened a little.Then he encouraged: "You are also talented in rugby. If you decide to take this path, remember to train well in the future."

Strictly speaking, Sam's rugby talent is not top-notch, but it surpasses many people.If he trains his skills as a running back or defensive end, even if he can't become a professional player in the future, he will still have no problem playing in a local league.

"I will, coach." Sam nodded seriously.

After the training of this summer league, he can be regarded as a prodigal son, and he felt the charm of rugby.

"Okay, Sam. He is no longer your coach. Now, we should meet the new head coach and prepare for you to be the quarterback next year..." Greeter stopped his son and looked at him proudly. Glancing at George and Mike.

He donated to the school football team this year, sneaked into the team of sponsors, and deliberately targeted George.The ultimate goal of this series of preparations is to enable his son to become the main force of the team—the quarterback.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders who don't know much about football, the quarterback on the football field has the most limelight.

Seeing Sam being dragged away by his father, George wanted to say something else.But in the end he realized that he was no longer the head coach of the team, and he should leave the problem to Coach Wayne to solve it.

In fact, with Sam's character and ability limit, he is not suitable for the quarterback position at all.If he insists on developing in this direction, he will not only drag down the team, but also waste his talents as a running back and defensive end.

Shaking his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, George said goodbye to Mike again and left the school.

George drove home alone and saw his wife in the living room.

Mary's job in the church is actually pretty good, except for the low salary.

Mary only had to work full time on the weekends when believers were worshiping.When there is nothing to do in the church, she only needs to work half a day at most.

"George, why are you back? Doesn't the team need training?" Mary, who was knitting woolen gloves on the sofa, asked.

The Texas summer is winding down, and Mary is knitting some gloves and scarves for her family.

"I was about to tell you that I have quit my job with the team." George put down the groceries in his hands and went to the refrigerator to get himself a bottle of cold beer.

Normally, George is not allowed to drink beer due to his health.

But Mary couldn't care less about that now.She dropped the knitting needle in her hand and asked in surprise: "Why? This year's team's performance is so good, isn't the school preparing to give you a salary increase? Moreover, if you don't have this job, what will happen to your family's expenses in the future? manage?"

The economic situation of the Cooper family has just shown signs of improvement.Now George suddenly lost his job, which was a major blow to the family.

With Mary's meager salary in the church, it is not enough to support the living expenses of the three children in the family.

The issue of money is very realistic and important to a big family of five.

"Don't get excited, I haven't finished yet." George took a sip of his beer, and the old god said: "Actually, there are other schools that poach me. They pay a lot of salary..."

Upon hearing her husband's words, Mary seemed to change her face, and then smiled: "Which school is it? Austin, or Houston?..."

Mary can only think of those strong teams in Texas that can offer high-paying teams.

"NO, NO, NO, none of them~" George shook his head.After his wife guessed several schools in Texas, he smiled and took out a letter: "It's Oklahoma University~"

During this time, not only Mike received invitation letters from many schools.George was also spotted by other universities because he led the team and achieved good results.

And this precious letter that George holds in his hand is also the basis for his courage to resign readily.

But after seeing the letter in her husband's hand, the smile on Mary's face froze for a moment, and she asked, "Is it the school in Oklahoma?"

"Yes, Oklahoma High School is the best high school in Oklahoma State, and their school football team is very strong..." George didn't notice the change in his wife's expression, and was still looking forward happily: "The school over there The school board has promised me a high salary, and that's not the most important thing.

You know, good teams are more likely to get good results.I might even get an invitation to the university by virtue of my good performance at Oklahoma High School..."

George usually looks indifferent, but if he really gets an opportunity, he won't let it go.

Because of the competition system, the high school football league does not charge tickets.The college football league can sell tickets.

In other words, if George can return to his position as a college coach, his salary can at least be doubled several times.

With money, the quality of life of the family will naturally improve.

It is George's ultimate goal to realize his self-worth and take care of his family.

"Wait a minute George, I am willing to support your work. But what if our family all goes to Oklahoma?" Compared to her husband's excitement, Mary's face no longer smiled.

If the family did go to Oklahoma, Mary would not only lose her church job, but also have to readjust to local relationships, which would be very difficult and troublesome for a housewife.

Mary could not accept such a change.

"It doesn't matter. Oklahoma is not far from Texas. We can come back often to see Connie." George said optimistically.

Oklahoma and Texas are adjacent, and the distance is not too far away. If you drive, you can go one way in a day.

"Okay, George. Your new job affects the whole family. I think you should ask the children for their opinions." Mary said with twinkling eyes.

"Of course, the children's opinions are important. However, I will convince them..." George said confidently.

Until now, he has not noticed that his wife's face is not quite right.
