Chapter 29
Hofstadter's home is not far from Princeton University. He had already explained this visit by phone, so the Hofstadters and Leonard were at home.

"Hello, Dr. Hofstadter!"

"Hello, Locke." Leonard's father was easy to get along with, gave Locke a warm hug, patted him on the back and smiled: "You don't have to be so polite, I said it, call me Alfred .”

"Okay, Alfred." Locke followed suit.

After greeting Leonard's father, Locke nodded to Beverly, knowing that she had the same cleanliness as Sheldon, so he didn't take the initiative to shake hands: "Hello, Beverly Hofstadter PhD."

After saying hello, Locke took out the prepared gifts, and visited them. Gifts are always prepared, no matter the East or the West.

"Hello, Locke, I hope you succeeded in persuading Peggy to join my research." Beverly said very directly.

"Sorry, I've discussed it with them. Neither Linda nor Peggy intends to join your research. You should contact Sheldon more. He is looking forward to it." Locke made an apologetic gesture, Decisively sold Little Sheldon.

"Although I am confident in convincing Sheldon and his mother, one more experimental sample can also increase the accuracy of the experiment. This is a great experiment for the development of science..."

"I'm still sorry. After all, we also have to abide by social rules and cannot force others to participate in experiments." Locke emphasized again.

After Linda brought Peggy to Princeton, Beverly also knew Peggy's genius, so she wanted to pull her to join her research.

But Peggy is not Sheldon, and she has no interest in becoming an experiment subject. Linda is naturally even more unwilling, and has repeatedly rejected Beverly's request.

As for little Sheldon, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. The only problem is Mary. It all depends on whether Beverly can persuade her, and Locke has nothing to do with it.

"Everyone knows about your experiment." Leonard's father couldn't help complaining in a low voice.

"This is normal." Beverly didn't hear the sarcasm in her husband's words, and glanced at her husband expressionlessly:
"Everyone knows that I am a famous neuroscientist and a world-class parenting and child development expert. My published monographs sell well all over the world, so you don't need to emphasize this well-known thing."

Leonard's father was speechless after being stunned. Leonard was used to this. He had a good impression of Locke and greeted him warmly: "What do you drink? Tea, coffee, or Coke?"

"Tea is fine." Locke smiled.

To be honest, if it wasn't for thanking Beverly for her help, he really didn't want to come to visit. Beverly is really not easy to get along with, but Leonard's father is very kind and kind.

After Locke visited many professors, Beverly also knew that Locke's IQ was comparable to that of Peggy and Sheldon.

From that time on, Beverly looked at him as if he was looking at an experimental product, and when talking to Beverly, Locke had to guard against her purposefully using psychology to analyze herself.

If it wasn't for him to have a certain understanding of Beverly because of the Big Bang, I'm afraid Beverly would have left with the rhythm. She is best at breaking people down and then better studying other people's psychology.

In The Big Bang Theory, Beverly and Penny met for the first time, but it took only a short while to go up the stairs, and then she broke down what Penny said, and then told Leonard directly that she wanted to have sex with you. Description, just use the same cologne as Papa Penny's.

It's hard to say whether Leonard used that cologne, but he went to comfort Penny that night. If he hadn't accidentally leaked his words and made Penny angry, I'm afraid he and Penny could have achieved good things.

Sure enough, Beverly quickly turned her target to Locke: "Since Peggy is not willing, I wonder if you are willing to contribute to science."

"Regarding this matter, I believe my attitude has been very clear, and I am willing to contribute to science in my own way."

"Your own way?" Beverly said, "Tell me about it."

"I have prepared to take mathematics as my main subject. Mathematics is the mother of many sciences. Promoting the progress of mathematics is my goal."

This answer made Beverly nod. In the scientific community, the importance of mathematics is recognized. Many important theories of disciplines must be supported by mathematics. The progress of mathematics will inevitably promote the progress of many disciplines.

Of course, Locke knew that he couldn't let the other party continue to entangle, so he simply changed the subject:

"Dr. Hofstadter, since you are an expert in parenting and child growth, you should also know that treating Leonard as harshly as you have since childhood will definitely have a very bad influence on Leonard."

"Your idea is very interesting." Beverly raised her glasses: "But I don't think there is any problem with it, his brother and sister have also experienced the same education method, and now they are the best students in Harvard. "

"Excellent grades do not mean that there are no psychological problems." Locke said: "And I think Leonard's grades are also very good. The problem is his character, which is obviously too weak."

"This only shows that he is not good enough." Beverly said blankly, "I believe that truly good people can control their minds."

"Sure enough, it doesn't make sense at all." Locke sighed in his heart, knowing that it was impossible to change Beverly who was as stubborn as Sheldon with just a few words.

Amy in The Big Bang Theory spent five full years in order to initially change Sheldon. Locke did not have the same professional knowledge and skills as Amy, and he did not have so much time and energy.

There was a moment of silence in the scene, but at this time Leonard came over with a tray and handed the tea to Locke: "Your tea."

"Thank you Leonard."

"Dad, yours."

"Thank you." Alfred accepted with a smile.

When it was Beverly's turn, it could be seen that Leonard was obviously a little nervous: "Mom, yours."

Sure enough, Locke then saw a classic scene in The Big Bang Theory.

"Oolong tea?"

"Yes."

"In bulk, not tea bags?"

"Yes."

"Soaked for 3 minutes?"

"Yes"

"Two percent milk?"

"Yes."

"Separate heating?"

"Yes."

"Yes"

"A spoonful of sugar?"

"Yes"

"Raw sugar?"

"Yes."

"Why did it take so long?" Beverly still complained, which made Leonard nervous immediately.

Then Beverly took a sip of the tea that Leonard handed over, and said displeasedly: "It's already cold, it seems we know why."

Leonard could only bring the tea back with a wry smile: "I'll make it for you again."

Seeing this scene on TV, I still thought it was funny, but when this scene actually happened in front of my eyes, Locke couldn't help but glanced at Leonard with pity.

With so many requirements, it is difficult to complete them in time, and time delay is certain.

And at most, the temperature is a little lower, but Beverly is too sensitive and has the same severe obsessive-compulsive disorder as Sheldon, so she complains in the end.

After Leonard left, Beverly shook her head: "It's such a simple way to make tea, but there are still problems until now. I really don't know how to educate him."

Locke was a little speechless, secretly thinking that Leonard was really pitiful, and then noticed Alfred's look, he seemed to have some empathy.

It seems that this one is not easy, no wonder he has used all the "hugging machines" made by Leonard, but he can endure it for so long, to a certain extent, this one is more tolerant than Yue Wang Goujian.
