American TV Series: Starting with Sheldon’s Wool Collection
Chapter 156 Well-Behaved Children
"Mike, how about we play two games?" Peggy said expectantly after the two of them put away the scattered chess pieces on the ground.
"No problem~" Mike agreed readily.
Although he knew that he was no match for the opponent, looking at Peggy's appearance, it seemed that he didn't really want to play chess.
It can be seen from her expression that she has too many things hidden in her heart and wants to find someone to talk to.
This is exactly what happened. After the chess game was set, Peggy suddenly said: "Do you know? In fact, I am not that good. Moreover, my family is not as happy as outsiders see..."
As she said this, Peggy's face lost its previous optimism, and instead showed a hint of melancholy that only adults can have.
Peggy's "excellence" has always been the mother's wishful thinking. She hopes to have a smart, sensible, and well-behaved daughter. As for her daughter's feelings, she never considered it.
But this daughter is too smart. She knows that her mother has paid a lot for herself. So deep down, she didn't want to disappoint the other person.
This contradictory and complicated situation has almost left the girl breathless.
On the other hand, Peggy, who has both high EQ and IQ, also discovered that her parents were not as loving as they seemed, and they were even on the verge of divorce.
There is also a part of Peggy in this.
Because Ms. Linda devoted all her attention to her little daughter, she neglected her husband, Mr. Barry.
Humans are emotional animals, and after giving, they often want to receive positive feedback.
Mr. Barry provided necessary financial support for the family, but did not enjoy the treatment that the head of the family should have.
If this situation continues for a long time, it will definitely cause disharmony in the family.
Peggy discovered this and couldn't change it, even though she was a super genius with high IQ and EQ.
So, this is also the reason for her pain.
Moreover, Peggy, who cannot find a solution to her family problems, has a tendency to blame the problems on herself.
She thought about it in another person's shoes. If she wasn't so smart, maybe her mother wouldn't value her so much, and she wouldn't have conflicts with her father.
Yes, Peggy has now thought about how nice it would be if she were an ordinary child.
Mike also saw that Peggy wanted to find someone to talk to about her depression, which might make her feel more relaxed.
Therefore, Mike patiently played the role of listener.
On the other side of Cooper's house, George and his wife had lost their previous enthusiasm and were having an awkward chat with Barry and his wife.
At this moment, little Sheldon pushed the door open and walked in angrily to his room.
"What's wrong with him? Did Peggy bully him?" Ms. Linda said, getting up to find her little daughter.
Seeing that the other party looked like he was going to find trouble for his little daughter, George quickly persuaded him: "It's okay Linda, Shelly's condition is very common, and he will be fine on his own in a while. As for your little daughter, I think Mike will Take good care of her."
Mary on the side also echoed her husband. Although she did not intend to have a close relationship with the Barrys, she did not want to see the other family having conflicts because of her youngest son.
"Okay, I'll ask Peggy what's going on later." Ms. Linda also realized that this was someone else's house, and it seemed inappropriate to discipline her little daughter now.
I saw Linda sitting down, looking worried. Mary, who was afraid that the atmosphere would become more awkward, said, "Let's talk about something else. Will your eldest daughter be jealous because she has a smart sister?"
When there is no topic, talking about children is definitely the right choice.
"No~" Ms. Linda shook her head and said, "Erica likes her sister very much and takes good care of her."
Seeing that the other party was still speaking insincerely, Mary also smiled and said: "Really? In fact, our little George is also a good boy. He is very good at taking care of his younger brother..."
Isn’t it just to praise your own children? Mary said who doesn’t know this?
The two parents unknowingly entered into a phase of comparing their children.
But the children they said were well-behaved and sensible were gathered in the backyard, complaining about their smart younger brother (sister).
"You know what? Sheldon is simply annoying. He always makes me feel as stupid as a gorilla." Little George looked at Erica intentionally or unintentionally as he spoke.
Erica, who is only in eighth grade this year, looks very mature and seems to be in a rebellious stage. She echoed: "The same goes for Peggy. She has been pampered like a little princess at home... Moreover, she also likes to find fault with me, saying that my room is messy like a doghouse..."
"Sheldon has intermittent obsessive-compulsive disorder~" Missy, who was sitting on the swing next to her, tried to join the chat between the two older children.
However, little George and Erica, who had already looked at each other, completely ignored Missy.
Little George said flatteringly: "Really, the same goes for Sheldon. The last time he snitched, his mother took away my important 'study materials'."
Erica felt the same way about George's speech. So the two boys and girls who had the same experience slowly approached each other bit by bit.
"Ahem~" Missy raised her hand: "I'm still here."
The state was interrupted. Little George glared at his sister dissatisfied, and then made a gesture that he thought was cool to Erica, inviting her: "I saw an abandoned TV in the alley before. Do you want to come with me and throw stones at it?”
Erica thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Sounds interesting~"
When the two were about to go to the alley, little George saw that Missy also wanted to follow, so he said: "Missy, I have some big firecrackers hidden in my room. You go and get it, we will use it later." Blow up the TV.”
Missy didn't think much and ran towards the house. It can be seen that the little girl is very excited to play with firecrackers.
"Okay, let's go~" Little George invited Erica again after his sister left.
"Aren't we waiting for her?" Erica asked.
"No, in fact the firecrackers are on me." Little George took out a thumb-thick firecracker from his pants pocket and said proudly.
Obviously, little George disliked his sister for interrupting his "date" with Erica. So I deliberately pushed the other party away.
"You are so bad~" Erica realized what little George was trying to do. After she laughed and cursed, she suddenly found the other person more interesting.
And just as Mr. and Mrs. George and Mr. and Mrs. Barry were praising their children, a huge explosion came from the backyard.
"What's wrong?" George was startled, stood up and looked out the window.
The other three people in the room were in a similar situation to him.
"Little George is a liar. I asked him why he couldn't find any firecrackers in his room..." Missy, who heard the explosion, came out of Little George's room and complained.
"Missy, what do you know?" George asked sternly.
"Of course, little George left me and took Erica to the alley in the backyard to blow up the TV." Missy told the truth.
