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

Chapter 106 Choice
At the dinner table, before dinner, the three children of Cooper's family looked at their father from time to time.

Obviously, before this, Mary had talked to the three of them about her father.

After the pre-dinner prayer, George knocked on the table to attract everyone's attention and said: "I have something important to announce. I received an invitation from the Oklahoma college football team, and they offered me a very high salary." , I will also have good development opportunities there..."

George confidently explained the benefits of teaching in Oklahoma, then he looked at the three children and asked, "Are you willing to support Dad's work?"

The old Texans have a strong sense of family. At this moment, George hopes to get the support and approval of his family.

However, the three children fell silent at this time. Apparently, Mary's previous conversation with them had an effect.

In the end, it was Sheldon who spoke first: "If you go to teach in Oklahoma, do we need to move?"

"Of course." George smiled and said with relief: "But don't worry, with the salary offered to me by Oklahoma University, we will soon be able to own our own house locally again."

However, little Sheldon didn't listen to any of his father's comfort.His thinking is the same as his mother's, fearing that the familiar rhythm of life will be disrupted.

What's more, in the past six months, Little Sheldon has made rare friends here.

He knew his personality well, and he knew that after changing his environment, he might never meet people like Dan and Mike who were willing to make friends with him.

So, little Sheldon said seriously: "I don't want to leave here and live in a new place, it will be very troublesome."

The younger son's answer made the confident look on George's face freeze.

Then he heard his youngest daughter, Missy, say, "I don't want to leave Telford either."

When she said this, Missy secretly looked at the handsome Mike, obviously she didn't want to part with him.

The two children are still young, and they cannot understand the importance of George's new job to the family.

"Little George, what's your opinion?" George turned his attention to his eldest son.

"I..." Little George frowned and thought for a moment. He vaguely understood that his decision might have a major impact on the family.

Seeing the hopeful eyes of his parents looking at him at the same time, little George hesitated for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know~"

After he reserved his opinion, he silently lowered his head and stopped talking.

Hearing the answers from the three children, Mary felt a little happy.But in order to make her husband give up the idea completely, she took advantage of the victory and said: "Mom, Mike, you can also express your opinions."

In Mary's opinion, Grandma Connie is getting old and she probably doesn't want to be separated from her family, especially she still likes her good grandson Little Sheldon so much.

As for Mike, based on his relationship with George, he probably wouldn't want his family to leave.

However, the fact is that Mary was surprised.

Grandma Connie took a sip of her beer and said slowly, "This opportunity is rare for George. I think he should seize this opportunity. Of course, the final decision is still up to you and your family to discuss."

Grandma Connie, who has experienced a lot in life, can easily distinguish the good from the bad.But after all, this is the family affairs of the Cooper family, and she should not interfere too deeply.

This is probably the wisdom of life.

"I also think this is a good opportunity for George." Mike immediately expressed his opinion, and then said no more.

In fact, if outsiders are too involved in a major issue like this that involves other people's families, it can easily end in a thankless outcome.

Hearing Connie and Mike's speech, the expression on Mary's face froze. This was not the answer she wanted at all.

But soon, she regained her natural look, and said, "Except for Little George's abstention, the current opinion is [-] to [-]..."

Seeing the troubled look on her husband's face, Mary wanted to tell her that she did not agree with the family moving to Oklahoma.

Just to take care of her husband's emotions, she continued euphemistically: "How about this, George, you go to Oklahoma to teach, and I stay here to take care of the children, so that neither party is delayed."

This compromise approach seems to be taking care of George, but in fact it forces him to make a choice between his family and his work.

I have to say that what Mary did was very smart.

The result was just as she expected.

George, who pays more attention to his family, looked back and forth at the three children several times before making a concession: "Forget it, the job in Oklahoma University is actually not that good. I can find another job, it's okay Big deal."

George gave up this time, which may be the best opportunity in his life for him, and chose to give the children a complete family.

"This is really wonderful." Mary was a little moved when she heard her husband's words.Then, she got up and gave him a hug.

When the three children heard that their father had chosen to stay, they all showed happy expressions.This time, things seemed to have a happy ending.

Mike, who was just an "outsider", saw George's reluctant expression, a lonely expression.

Grandma Connie also frowned at her daughter.Then, he suggested: "Since George is out of work now, how about letting him be responsible for the meals for me and Mike in the future?
Of course, we will pay him 800 yuan a month for food until he finds a job. "

It is conceivable that George has been a football coach for half his life, and he has no other skills other than football.

It is very difficult for him to find another suitable job.

Grandma Connie also wanted to use the excuse of food expenses to help the Cooper family temporarily relieve their financial pressure.

"This..." George, who hadn't turned his head around, was about to refuse.

In his opinion, Grandma Connie and Mike are both considered to be his own family, and the living expenses of 800 yuan a month are really too much.

You must know that Mary's weekly salary at her job in the church is only 200 meters. If converted into months, it is only 800 meters a month.

However, Mary, who considered the longer term, saw Connie's grandma's intentions.After glancing at her husband, she agreed for him: "Of course, no problem. If you want to eat special barbecue in the future, you can ask George to make it for you."

In fact, only the secret roast beef can be sold by George, and Mary can take care of Mike's meals.

After finalizing the joint dining agreement, the atmosphere on the table became active.

At this time, George Jr. also remembered that Mike quit the football team.

"I also have something to discuss with you." George Jr. imitated his father's previous appearance and said, "What do you think about Mike's withdrawal from the team?"

"It's good. It's too wasteful to play rugby with Mike's face." Grandma Connie joked with a smile.

"Yeah, yeah~" Missy nodded in agreement.

"Football is a brutal sport..." Little Sheldon also expressed his views.

George knew about Mike's decision a long time ago, so he didn't say much at this time.

At this point, George Jr.'s idea of ​​​​wanting Mike to return to the football team has come to nothing.
