There were still a few days before the official start of classes. Locke and Peggy agreed to go to Leonard's house. According to the previous phone call, little Sheldon and Mary would arrive in the afternoon.

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

At the same time, listening to the "beep" sound that just appeared, Sheldon, who was at the airport, helplessly explained to the staff at the security checkpoint:

"That's just because Billy stuffed coins into my nose. He is my neighbor's child. I also helped him with tutoring so that he didn't have to repeat the grade..."

"I love Billy's masterpiece," Michie interjected.

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

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

"That's just him." After sighing, George explained helplessly: "We encountered this problem every time we took him on a plane before."

After hearing this, Mi Xi was very unbalanced: "Why has Sheldon already flown on a plane several times, but I have never flown once before? I want to go too."

George shrugged his shoulders. In front of outsiders, he was unwilling to say that their family's poor finances did not allow the family to fly together. The cost of Mary sending Sheldon there this time was provided by the university.

The security inspector nodded, thinking that maybe he shouldn't argue with the child, but he didn't expect that little Sheldon said to Mi Xi while being inspected:

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

You can only engage in service occupations such as flight attendants or waiters. Then you will have many opportunities to fly. "

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

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

"That's true." Little Sheldon was unaware of his parents' intentions and had no idea of ​​the possible dangers. He still nodded without blinking:

"Although everyone knows that your simple work cannot be compared with scientists in terms of contribution to mankind, I do like a well-organized work process, and..."

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

"But……"

"Stop talking!" Mary also quickly glared at Sheldon, fearing that if he said anything more, the airport personnel would cause trouble.

Missy suddenly felt better when she saw this scene.

I watched the security personnel go through the entire process meticulously. Their movements were very standard and every step was taken extremely carefully.

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

Here Locke and Peggy drove to Leonard's house, and it was Leonard's father who opened the door.

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

"Hello Locke, and Peggy." Alfred introduced the two of them into the house: "I heard that you were coming, and Leonard got up early to prepare."

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

"It seems you've been waiting for a long time." Locke glanced at Peggy, feeling that Leonard would be much more positive than usual when it came to matters related to Peggy.

"Where's Beverly?" Alfred asked.

"Mom is preparing to pick up Sheldon from the airport." Leonard said a little unhappy: "Obviously Mrs. Cooper said there is no need."

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

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

Ever since Beverly discovered Sheldon, she quickly focused all her attention on Sheldon. Coupled with the similar personalities of the two, Leonard felt that he was completely ignored and was full of enthusiasm for Sheldon. Jealousy.

If it weren't for his acquired optimistic character, and his ability to frequently communicate with Locke and Peggy to resolve these negative emotions, even an optimistic person like Leonard might have turned dark.

We became familiar with the Leonard family, and we sat in the living room and chatted together. However, Locke and Peggy talked to Alfred most of the time. Beverly would occasionally chime in on topics of interest. sentence.

Leonard sat next to Peggy a little reservedly, peeking at Peggy from time to time, and occasionally chiming in.

After a while, Beverly pushed up her glasses and glanced at the clock in the living room:

"I'm glad to be chatting with you, but next I have to pick up Sheldon and his mother, Ms. Mary. Alfred will greet you next."

After Beverly left, the atmosphere in the living room seemed to be more relaxed. Alfred checked the time and said he was going to prepare dinner, and Leonard invited the two of them to his room to play chess.

It wasn't until Beverly came back from the airport that the three of them came downstairs again to greet little Sheldon and Mary.

Little Sheldon was very happy to be able to come to Princeton to attend college. He was in a good mood all the way until he saw Locke and Peggy.

The genius girl Peggy is regarded as a fierce rival by Sheldon. Every time he sees her, he unconsciously feels uncomfortable. Locke hits him frequently, making Sheldon almost burst into tears several times.

Little Sheldon's reaction not only made Leonard feel secretly happy, but also allowed him to temporarily put aside the worries of Little Sheldon living in his own home.

Also, Lady Mary is very enthusiastic about Locke and Peggy, especially Locke.

Compared to Beverly, she was more optimistic about Locke's ability to take care of little Sheldon at school, and repeatedly asked Locke to take care of Sheldon during dinner and report more to her about Sheldon's situation at school.

After dinner, Locke and Peggy drove back to Fairview Town. Peggy went upstairs to read a book, while Julie took Susan over for a visit.

"Thank you for your willingness to help. Since I divorced my ex-husband, my income now comes from a small amount of alimony and work as a book illustrator.

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

"It's okay, let's see if there's anything we can do to help." Locke listened while quickly flipping through the tax materials Susan brought.

"Part of our taxes this year were paid by credit card." Julie emphasized, making Susan's expression even more embarrassing.

"It's okay, Ms. Susan." Locke suddenly asked: "Where did you paint at home?"

"Well~, it's basically in my room or the living room, and sometimes it takes up the dining table. Because things are placed in a mess, I even have to ask Julie to help me find them."

"Very good." Locke nodded and said, "I think you can consider fixing part of your home as your studio. In this way, you can use the proportion of the studio occupying the house to deduct the corresponding taxes. Proportion."

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

Julie, on the other hand, was more perceptive and looked at Locke, waiting for his further explanation.

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

"If it's just the living room, it's about forty square meters. We can go back and measure the specific amount." Julie finally got what Locke meant.

"Very good." Locke chuckled and continued: "Susan, how do you usually buy those painting materials?"

"Usually I go there in my own car."

"It's the official car of the studio." Locke emphasized: "And your garage is also the garage of the studio."

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

Next, under Locke's reminder, Susan finally learned that she had many tax-deductible items. If these were included, she could get a huge tax refund.

Now she finally understood why Julie insisted on dragging her over to ask Locke to help file the tax, and she was full of gratitude to Locke in her heart.

"Thank you so much Locke. I heard from Julie before that you wanted to ask me to illustrate your books and paintings. I am willing to do this for free!"

"You're so polite. The cost of the illustrations is paid by the publisher and is included in the price of the book, so you don't have to do this. Besides, you just said that you would prepare for Julie's college tuition."

"Go back and measure the size of the living room and garage. Leave these tax filing materials with me for now." Locke said with a smile:

"Call me after you've measured the living room and I'll do the calculations for you in detail. You can file your tax return according to my template in the future. As for remuneration, just treat me to a meal if you find an opportunity."

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

"It doesn't matter, we are all neighbors and we should help each other."

After watching Susan and Julie leave, Locke returned to the study and took a look at Peggy, who was still reading, and also became busy.

With his current situation, he doesn't need to worry about helping others file taxes. Even his own taxes have now been handed over to a dedicated accounting team.

But Susan lives across the street, and the two families can meet each other without looking up. Locke will live here for the next few years, so he naturally has to manage the neighborhood relationship well.

In particular, Susan is one of the four core housewives in the plot. Since he can easily help with his ability, it will also be of great help in triggering tasks in the future.
