Chapter 29 More tolerable than Gou Jian

The Hofstadters' home was not far from Princeton University, and he had already communicated the visit by phone, so the Hofstadters and Leonard were both at home.

"Hello, Dr. Hofstadter!"

"Hello, Locke." Leonard's father was very easy to get along with. He gave Locke a warm hug, patted his back and smiled: "You don't have to be so polite. I told you to call me Alfred." .”

"Okay, Alfred." Locke followed suit.

After greeting Leonard's father, Locke nodded to Beverly, knowing that she was as germaphobic as Sheldon, so he did not take the initiative to extend his hand to shake: "Hello, Beverly Hofstadter PhD."

After saying hello, Locke took out the prepared gifts. When visiting someone's door, he always prepares gifts, whether in the East or the West.

"Hi, Locke, I hope you can successfully persuade Peggy to join my research." Beverly said very directly.

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

"Although I am confident to convince Sheldon and his mother, having 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 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 about Peggy's genius and wanted to drag her to join her research.

But Peggy is not Sheldon and has no interest in becoming an experimental subject. Linda is naturally even more reluctant and has rejected Beverly's request many times.

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. Locke has nothing to do with it.

"Everyone knows about your experiments." Leonard's father couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

"This is normal." Beverly did not hear the irony in her husband's words at all, and looked at her husband expressionlessly:

"Everyone knows that I am a famous neuroscientist and a world-class expert on parenting and child development. My published monographs are best-selling all over the world, so you don't need to emphasize this fact that everyone knows."

After being criticized, Leonard's father was speechless. Leonard was used to this. He was very fond of Locke and greeted him warmly: "What do you drink? Tea, coffee, or Coke?"

"Just tea." Locke smiled.

To be honest, if it wasn't to thank Beverly for her help, he really wouldn't want to come and visit. In fact, 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 could be compared with Peggy and Sheldon.

From that moment on, Beverly looked at him like he was an experiment. When talking to Beverly, Locke would be on guard against her purposefully using psychology to analyze him.

If he didn't have a certain understanding of Beverly because of The Big Bang Theory, he might have been led away by Beverly long ago. What she is best at is breaking people down and then better studying other people's psychology.

In The Big Bang Theory, Beverly and Penny met for the first time. They just went up the stairs for a while. Penny said she had an emotional breakdown, and then told Leonard straightforwardly that she wanted to have sex with you. Description, just use the same cologne from Penny's dad.

It's hard to say whether Leonard used that cologne, but he went to comfort Penny that night. If he hadn't accidentally spilled the beans and made Penny angry, he might have really been able to achieve good things with Penny.

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

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

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

"I am ready 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 couldn't help but nod. In the scientific community, the importance of mathematics is recognized. Important theories in many disciplines are 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 pester him, so he simply changed the subject:

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

"Your idea is very interesting." Beverly raised her glasses: "But I don't think there is any problem with this. His brother and sister have also experienced the same education method, and now they are the best students at 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 that his character is obviously too weak."

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

"Sure enough, it doesn't make sense at all." Locke sighed inwardly, knowing that just a few words would never change Beverly, who was as stubborn as Sheldon.

Amy in The Big Bang Theory spent five years initially trying to change Sheldon. Locke didn't have the same professional knowledge and skills as Amy, and he didn't have that much time and energy.

The scene was a little quiet for a while, but fortunately, Leonard came over with a tray at this time and handed the tea to Locke: "Your tea."

"Thanks Leonard."

"Dad, it's yours."

"Thank you." Alfred took it with a smile.

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

Sure enough, Locke saw a classic scene from The Big Bang Theory next.

"Oolong tea?"

"Yes."

"In bulk, not tea bags?"

"Yes."

"Did you soak for three minutes?"

"Yes"

"Two percent milk?"

"Yes."

"Heat them separately?"

"Yes."

"Yes"

"A spoonful of sugar?"

"Yes"

"Jaggery?"

"Yes."

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

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

Leonard could only smile bitterly and take the tea back: "I'll make it for you again right now."

I saw this scene on the TV series and thought it was funny, but this scene actually happened in front of my eyes, and Locke couldn't help but look at Leonard with pity.

With so many requirements, it is difficult to complete them in time, and it will definitely waste time.

And at best, the temperature was slightly lower. It was just that Beverly was too sensitive and had the same severe obsessive-compulsive disorder as Sheldon, so she complained in the end.

After Leonard left, Beverly still shook her head: "Such a simple way of making tea is still causing 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 he noticed Alfred's look, and he seemed to feel the same way.

It seems that it is not easy for this one, no wonder he has used the 'hug machine' made by Leonard, but he can endure it for so long. To a certain extent, this man can endure it better than King Gou Jian of Yue.
