Chapter 75 Neighborhood Relations

A few days before the formal class starts, Locke and Pegg agreed to go to Leonard's house. According to what was confirmed on the previous phone, Sheldon and Mary would arrive in the afternoon.

So the two of them planned to go to Leonard's house after lunch.

At the same time, listening to the "drip" sound just now, Sheldon at the airport explained helplessly to the staff at the security checkpoint:

"That's just because the coins were stuffed into my nose by Billy. He is my neighbor's child. I also helped him tutor him so that he wouldn't have to keep his grades..."

"I like Billy's masterpieces." Mich interjected.

The security inspector heard Sheldon's explanation clearly, but he still asked him and George and others who came to send him to the other side for further inspection according to the regulations.

During the inspection, Sheldon still chattered: "I understand and appreciate your behavior, but please don't forget to wear gloves, thank you."

"That's how he is." George sighed, and explained helplessly: "We had this problem every time we took him on a plane."

After hearing this, Mixi was very unbalanced: "Why has Sheldon been on the plane several times? I haven't taken it so far, and I want to go together."

George shrugged his shoulders. In front of outsiders, he was unwilling to say that their poor finances did not allow the whole family to travel by plane. The past expenses for Mary to send Sheldon this time were provided by the university.

The security inspector nodded, thinking that maybe he shouldn't have been calculating with the child, but he didn't expect that little Sheldon said to Mixi while undergoing the inspection:

"Don't worry, although you are my twin sister, with your IQ, you will definitely not be the most valuable scientist to mankind like me in the future.

I don’t have much income, and I have to pay property taxes, Julie’s tuition, insurance premiums and other expenses. My financial situation has been bad. In two years, Julie will go to college. I want to prepare for her college tuition…”

"It's okay, let's see what can be helped." Locke listened, while quickly flipping through the tax materials Susan brought.

Locke and Page drove to Leonard's house here, and Leonard's father opened the door.

Seeing that the situation was critical, George quickly covered little Sheldon's mouth and glared at him, "Shut up, Sheldon."

After Bevli left, the atmosphere in the living room seemed to be a little more relaxed. Alfred looked at the time and said he wanted to prepare dinner. Leonard invited the two to play chess in his room.

"It's the studio's official car." Locke emphasized: "Your garage is also the studio's garage."

"Sure." Susan shook hands with Locke happily: "Thank you so much!"

"I usually drive my own car."

Sheldon Jr. was very happy to be able to go to Princeton to go to college, and was in a very good mood all the way until he saw Locke and Page.

"It's true." Sheldon, little, didn't notice his parents' intentions, had no idea of ​​possible dangers, and nodded without a wink:

"Although everyone knows that your simple work and contribution to humanity cannot be compared with scientists at all, I do like a well-organized workflow, and..."

I was familiar with Leonard's family and sat in the living room and started chatting together. However, most of the time, Locke and Page talked to Alfred, and Bevley would occasionally add a few words to the topics they were interested in.

"Where is Bevly?" Alfred asked.

"It seems you've been waiting for a long time." Locke glanced at Page, feeling that Leonard would be much more active than usual when encountering things related to Page.

Also, Mrs. Mary was very enthusiastic about Locke and Page, especially Locke.

From the time Bevley discovered Sheldon, she quickly focused all her attention on Sheldon. With the similar personalities of the two, Leonard felt completely ignored and was full of jealousy towards Sheldon.

"You're so kind. The cost of illustrations is published by the publisher and is included in the book pricing, so you don't have to do that, not to mention that you just said you should prepare for Julie's college tuition."

Compared to Bevley, she was more optimistic that Rock could take care of Sheldon at school, and asked Rock to take care of Sheldon many times during dinner, and reported to her more about Sheldon's situation at school.

"Yes, it's the studio's official car." Julie nodded with a smile: "There is also a garage."

"A part of our taxes this year is paid by credit card." Julie emphasized, making Susan's expression even more awkward.

"If it's just a living room, it's about 40 square meters. We can go back and measure it." Julie finally got Locke's meaning.

"You guys are here, come in and sit in." As soon as I entered the door, I saw Leonard running over to say hello.

"But……"

Now she finally understood why Julie had to pull her over and ask Locke to help file taxes, and she was also full of gratitude for Locke.

Sheldon felt uncomfortable, but because her parents could only hold back their expressions, she was not in a hurry to send Sheldon home.

When Misie saw this scene, she suddenly felt better.

Julie was more keen, looking at Locke, waiting for his further explanation.

The genius Peggy was regarded as a strong enemy by Sheldon. Every time she saw her, Locke felt uncomfortable. He even hit him a lot, which made Sheldon almost burst into tears several times.

"Hello, Alfred." Locke and Page greeted with a smile.

"Hello Rock, and Peggy." Alfred brought the two into the house: "I heard you are coming, Leonard got up early to prepare."

"So Susan, how big is your first floor living room, or your painting studio?"

Sheldon's reaction made Leonard feel secretly happy, and made him temporarily let go of the troubles of Sheldon's living in his own home.

"You look back and measure the size of the living room and garage, and leave these tax filing materials to me first." Locke said with a smile:

"After the living room is measured, call me and I will help you calculate it in detail. In the future, you can file taxes according to my template. As for the remuneration, just find an opportunity to treat me to a meal."

"I'm glad to chat with you, but I'm going to pick up Sheldon and his mother, Ms. Mary, and Alfred will come to greet you next."

"Thank you so much, Locke. I heard Julie say you want to ask me to give you the calligraphy and painting illustrations. I am willing to help this for free!"

Leonard could only lower his head, and couldn't help cursing the damn Sheldon again.

"This is social etiquette, I don't remember when I taught you so rudely, Leonard." The person who spoke was Bevli who had just walked downstairs.

"It's okay, everyone is a neighbor, it's time to help each other."

After dinner, Rock and Pegg drove back to Meijing Town, Pegg went upstairs to read books, while Julie brought Susan to visit.

"Very good." Locke chuckled and continued to work hard: "Susan, how do you usually buy the materials for painting?"

Next, with Locke's reminder, Susan finally knew that she had many tax deductions. If she included these, she would be able to get a considerable tax refund.

If it is not for the optimistic personality of a successful person, and if you can often contact Locke and Page to eliminate these negative emotions, even if you are optimistic like Leonard, you may turn evil.

"Mom is preparing to pick Sheldon up at the airport." Leonard said with some displeasure: "Mrs. Cooper said it would not be used."

"That's right!" Mary also quickly added: "He likes people who work in uniform the most."

After a while, Bevli pushed his glasses and glanced at the clocks in the living room:

Seeing the security personnel go through the complete process at once, the movements during the period are very standard, and each step is extremely careful.

"Well~, I'm basically in my room or living room, and sometimes I take up the dining table because the things are messy, so I even need to ask Julie to help me find it."

"Very good." Locke nodded and said, "I think you can consider fixing part of your site as your studio, so that you can deduct the corresponding tax ratio by using the proportion of the studio's housing."

Leonard sat next to Page with some restraint, occasionally peeking at Page with a glance, and occasionally echoing his speech.

"What!?" Susan was a little confused and felt confused.

You can only engage in service professions such as flight attendants or waiters, and you will have the opportunity to take a plane at that time."

It was not until Bevley came back from the airport that the three of them came downstairs to greet Sheldon and Mary.

George next to him noticed that the security inspector's originally slowed down had changed again, and quickly explained: "He didn't mean that, he respects your work very much."

"It's okay Ms. Susan." Locke suddenly asked, "Where are you painting at home?"

"Thank you for your help. Since I divorced my ex-husband, my current income has been relying on alimony and the work of illustrations for calligraphy and painting.

"Stop talking!" Mary also stared at Sheldon, afraid that he would be in trouble for the airport staff.

Watching Susan and Julie leave, Locke returned to the study and looked at Peggy who was still reading, and became busy.

With his current situation, he doesn't need to bother to help others file taxes, and even his own taxes have now been handed over to a special accounting team to solve it.

But Susan lives opposite, and the two families can be said to have looked down and looked up. Locke will live here for several years in the future, so he naturally needs to manage his neighborhood relationship well.

Especially Susan is one of the four core housewives of the plot. Since he can easily help with his abilities, it will be of great help to trigger tasks in the future.
