American TV Series: Starting with Sheldon’s Wool Collection

At the dinner table, before the meal started, the three children of the Cooper family looked at their father from time to time.

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

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 going to Oklahoma to teach. Then he looked at his three children and asked, Are you willing to support dad's work?

Old Texans have a strong sense of family. At this moment, George really hopes to get the support and recognition of his family.

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

Finally, it was little Sheldon who spoke first: If you go to Oklahoma to teach, 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 a rare friend here.

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

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 little daughter, Missy, say: I don't want to leave the small town of Telford either.

When she said this, Missy secretly glanced at the handsome Mike. It was obvious that she didn't want to say goodbye to Mike.

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 reserving his opinion, he lowered his head silently 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 older and she probably doesn't want to be separated from her family, especially since 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 truth surprised Mary.

Grandma Connie took a sip of beer and said slowly: This opportunity is rare for George. I think he should seize this opportunity. Of course, the final decision must be discussed by yourselves as a family.

Grandma Connie, who has a lot of life experience, can easily tell the difference between good and bad things. But this is a family matter of the Cooper family after all, and she shouldn't get too involved.

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.

After hearing what Connie and Mike said, 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 opinions are now tied at two to two...

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 tactfully: 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 thought.

George, who paid more attention to his family, looked back and forth at his three children several times before making a concession: Forget it, the job at Oklahoma University is actually not that good. I can look for other jobs, it's okay. Big deal.”

George gave up this, perhaps the best opportunity in his life, and chose to give his children a complete family.

This is really great. Mary was moved when she heard her husband's words. Then, she stood up and gave the other person 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.

As an outsider, Mike saw the lonely look beneath George's forced expression.

Grandma Connie also frowned and glanced at her daughter. Then, he suggested: “Since George doesn’t have a job now, how about letting him be responsible for Mike and I’s meals from now on?

Of course, we will pay him 800 meters a month for food until he finds a job.

It can be imagined that George has been a rugby coach for half his life, and he has no other abilities except rugby.

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

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

This... George, who had not yet turned around, was about to refuse.

In his opinion, Grandma Connie and Mike were both his own people, and the living expenses of eight hundred meters a month was really too much.

You must know that Mary's work in the church only earns a weekly salary of 200 meters. When converted into months, it is only 800 meters a month.

However, Mary, who was thinking more long-term, saw Grandma Connie's intentions. After glaring at her husband, she agreed on his behalf: Of course, no problem. If you want to eat special barbecue in the future, you can ask George to cook it for you.

In fact, George only had secret roast beef at his disposal. Usually, Mary could take care of the food for Mike and the two of them.

After finalizing the joint dining agreement, the atmosphere at the table became lively.

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

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

It's good. It would be such a waste for Mike to play football with this face. Grandma Connie joked with a smile.

Yeah, yeah~ Missy nodded in agreement.

Football is a barbaric sport... Little Sheldon also expressed his opinion.

George already knew Mike's decision and 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.
