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

Chapter 177 Solution and Sales Fair (continued)

On the way back in the car, little Sheldon thought of the promise he had made to Peggy, so he said, "Dad, do you know that Peggy's parents are getting divorced?"

George, who had listened to the Barrys' nagging all morning, knew this very well.

However, it is never a good thing to discuss other people's family affairs behind their backs.So, George warned: "Xie Li, don't spread this kind of thing outside."

"I know." Little Sheldon responded casually and then continued: "Mike and I want to help Peggy..."

Next, little Sheldon briefly told his father about Peggy's situation and the solution Mike came up with.

"That little girl is really pitiful..." George thought of the scene where Peggy was scolded by her mother.

Logically speaking, having a little prodigy in your family should be something to be proud of.

Not to mention how much preferential treatment should be given to the little prodigy, but the way Peggy's mother did, severely reprimanding her daughter for the slightest mistake, was really a bit too much.

Anyway, George never scolded his youngest son that much.

"Mike, are you serious?" After listening to his youngest son's story, George looked at Mike in the rearview mirror and asked.

As an adult, George thinks further than his younger son.

He knew that it was not that simple to help Peggy, and there would definitely be a lot of trouble later.

"Yes, I want to help Peggy within my ability." Mike nodded and said: "In fact, she is almost out of breath and even thought about running away from home~"

After listening to the Barrys' chatter all morning, George had some understanding of the situation at the other party's home.

You can imagine how much pressure Peggy must bear in such a complicated family environment.

"Okay, I will discuss this matter with Mary. I believe I can help the little girl." George finally accepted the task.

In some ways, George was a good guy.

……

Not long after, the three returned to the small town of Telford.

As soon as Mike got out of the car, he saw a prosperous scene in front of Grandma Connie's house.

During this time in the afternoon, the flea market attracted a large number of residents who came to watch.

And because of two unreliable salesmen, George and Missy, the situation became very chaotic.

"Mike, you are finally back. Come and help~" Grandma Connie, who was almost overwhelmed, shouted in surprise when she saw Mike.

"OK~" Mike, who still wanted to ask for something for a while, then joined the sales staff.

In front of a stuffed raccoon, Missy was in a stalemate with Billy, the kid next door.

Billy, who is only five meters tall, wants to buy the little raccoon specimen with a price tag of five meters.

As for Missy, it was because of her poor arithmetic that she failed to calculate the middle price.

"Can I help you?" Mike came to the distressed Missy and asked.

"I can't calculate the middle price." Missy answered honestly.

Then, she briefly told Mike the situation here.

"Billy, the lowest price for this specimen is one meter. You can go back and ask your father if he is willing to buy it for you." Mike, who understood the general situation, said to Billy, the kid next door.

Grandma Connie priced ordinary animal specimens at five yuan, which was obviously a bit high.

This kind of thing is only valuable if you hunt and make it yourself, and it doesn't have much appeal to others.

Maybe only the silly Billy would want to buy it back as a toy.

"Okay, I'll ask Dad." Billy reluctantly put down the stuffed raccoon and said.

After Billy left, Mike said to Missy on the side: "You go and rest for a while, leave this place to me."

Missy, who had been tormented by "work" all morning, heard Mike's words as if they were sounds of nature.She cheered as if she was relieved: "That's great~" After giving Mike a hug, the little girl ran home happily.

As for the flea market, after Mike joined, the sales activities became smoother.

It was evening and more than half of the second-hand goods in the flea market were sold.

The rest are some pipes, clothes, etc. Such more private things are not easy to sell.

It is worth mentioning that the little raccoon specimen, which was not very good, was also bought by Billy who returned later for one meter.

After a tiring day, Grandma Connie has earned a lot of small bills from selling, and she is in a good mood now.

"Mike, put the remaining things in the basement. I'll treat you to a big dinner later." Grandma Connie looked very proud now that she had money.

At this moment, Professor John, who had finished his weekend work, rushed over on his bicycle.

"Connie, I hope I didn't miss your sales meeting." Professor John said hello from all the way.

"You came just in time." Grandma Connie, who was in a good mood, greeted with a smile: "Look around, I can give you an internal discount."

At this time, except for Professor John, there were no other customers in the flea market.

After Professor John looked at the remaining products for a while, he suddenly picked out a retro brown coat.

Now that the weather is getting cooler, this brown coat just comes in handy.

This brown coat was obviously a bit too big for Professor John.But he seems to like this loose feeling.

After putting on his coat, Professor John moved around a bit, and then unexpectedly found a box of cigarettes and chewing gum in his coat pocket.

Although Professor John does not smoke, he likes this unexpected little "surprise" very much.

This also made him decide to buy this coat.

"Connie, how do you sell this dress?" Professor John went to Grandma Connie, showed the coat on his body, and asked.

Grandma Connie, who was happily counting her change, saw her face gradually became complicated when she saw Professor John's coat.

This coat was her dead husband's clothes, and now she was wearing it on Professor John, which made Grandma Connie feel very uncomfortable.

"What's wrong Connie?" Professor John, who still didn't know what happened, said with a smile: "I like this dress very much, you don't need to give me a discount."

"You can't wear this dress~" Grandma Connie, who was lost in memories, was a little out of control.

"Why?" Professor John asked confused.

"It just doesn't work anyway." Grandma Connie didn't know how to explain it to the other party, so she could only say forcefully: "This is not for sale."

After saying that, Grandma Connie seemed to have been drained of energy and returned to the house alone.

"There's obviously a price tag on it, why do you say it's not for sale?" Professor John, who didn't understand the atmosphere, looked confused.

"Maybe it's because this is something that belonged to Grandma Connie's previous husband." Mike, who was packing his belongings, reminded him.

Judging from Grandma Connie’s reaction before and after, as well as the style of the dress, it’s easy to guess its origin.

"I don't mind~" Professor John's brain circuit is obviously different from ordinary people.Then, he asked: "Also, why is Connie angry?"

The focus of the question now is obviously not whether Professor John minded, but that Grandma Connie did.

Seeing Mike's weird look, Professor John put down his coat and said, "Forget it, let me go see how Connie is doing?"

Fortunately, Professor John's current reaction can still save him.

"Remember, don't mention the clothes for a while, and don't ask about Grandma Connie's previous husband..." Mike reminded Professor John who was leaving.
