American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

"Who taught that child to say those words... Is there a problem with his family education?"

There's always someone instigating a bratty kid, and this applies everywhere.

Realizing that Mike was changing the subject, the reporters cleverly shifted their questions to Sheldon's family.

“Sheldon’s upbringing is fine; he just has a problem with the bread from the food company…” Mike calmly evaded the reporter’s questions.

……

Meanwhile, back in the yard, young Sheldon was being questioned by Mary.

"Alright, stop blaming Shirley. We should deal with the problem at hand first..."

Having weathered many storms, Grandma Connie grasped the crux of the matter: "Mary, George, come with me, we need some props..."

Not long after, under Grandma Connie's direction, George hung a Stars and Stripes flag at the door.

The Cooper family also wore clothes and accessories with local elements.

Especially Sheldon Jr., who wore a top hat and cosplayed as an American uncle.

Then, a group of people lined up neatly at the entrance of the courtyard and sang "The Star-Spangled Banner."

As it turns out, there are always more solutions than problems if you're willing to use your brain.

As the song played, the reporters fell silent.

Chapter 226 Birthday

Because the issue was so sensitive, even after the Cooper family made their stance clear, the reporters who were there to dig up a big story didn't leave until dark.

The Cooper family, who had returned to the house, were not in high spirits after all the commotion.

It's conceivable that while Sheldon's troubles have been temporarily averted, the sensitive issues surrounding the Cooper family are far from over.

After all, you can always trust a group of journalists' ability to create big news.

"Alright, Shirley. Let's go eat!"

Since the incident had already occurred and reached this point, Mary no longer felt like blaming her youngest son.

Instead, seeing the other's pale face, Mary, as a mother, softened her tone.

"Thank God for providing us with food, and please also bless us to get through this difficult time..."

After everyone was seated, the daily pre-meal prayer ceremony began at the dining table.

"Everyone, you can eat now~" Mary forced a smile as she greeted everyone after the prayer.

"Wait~"

Just as everyone was about to start their dinner, Sheldon suddenly stood up.

Then, under the curious gazes of a group of people, he ran into the kitchen and found the sandwiches he had left over from lunch.

Then, returning to the table with his sandwich, he took a big bite of bread, chewed for a while, and, to everyone's surprise, said earnestly, "I think sweet bread actually tastes pretty good too~"

As it turns out, Sheldon's awkward personality is not unchangeable.

At least, once he realized he had gotten himself into big trouble, he successfully accepted the taste of sweet bread.

"Thank God!"

Seeing her youngest son's sensible demeanor brought Mary some comfort.

Good news! She no longer needs to worry about her youngest son's lunch.

Then, in the following days, just as everyone feared, a reporter, in order to generate buzz, subtly revealed in the newspaper Sheldon's previous remarks.

The consequence of this was that more reporters, having heard the news, gathered around Cooper's house.

Like a swarm of flies that you can't get rid of.

Clearly, these reporters had ulterior motives; they wanted to escalate the matter further in order to gain fame and fortune.

Having prepared themselves mentally, the Cooper family never brought up the sensitive topic again after that day.

Meanwhile, in order to cope with the crisis, Connie's grandmother also hung the Stars and Stripes on her front door.

……

As for Sheldon, who is at the center of the discussion, the American uncle's cosplay outfit has become his go-to outfit during this period.

Moreover, having learned his lesson, he no longer spoke recklessly when stopped by reporters.

Singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" on the spot became his best option.

This back-and-forth dragged on for about a week until the group of reporters who rushed to the scene finally realized that there was no chance of making a big story out of it.

Although they were still unwilling, they had no choice but to leave due to the Cooper family's strict guard.

The first group of reporters, taking advantage of the lingering buzz surrounding the "Devil Body Group" on the spring stage, shifted their focus back to the personal gossip of Regina and the other girls.

So, the students and teachers of Melford High School also experienced the enthusiasm of the reporters at the school gate.

The girls' classmates and teachers, in particular, received special attention from the reporter.

More than a week later, as the hype surrounding the "Devil Body Group" died down, the first group of reporters who had arrived finally left the town of Deford.

By the end of February, the Cooper family, who had endured more than half a month of torment, finally returned to peace after the reporters left.

Happy birthday to you!

On February 26th, Sheldon Jr. celebrated his eleventh birthday.

"Make a wish, Sheri~"

At the table, Mary served her youngest son a small cake with eleven candles on it.

"I wish I could grow up quickly..."

With his eyes closed, young Sheldon continued his wish: "Similarly, I wish my family, Mike, and Peggy, will always be healthy!"

As the candles were blown out, everyone who heard Sheldon's wish smiled knowingly.

Clearly, after going through the previous turmoil, Sheldon finally understands the importance of family.

This can also be considered a kind of growth.

"Alright, Shelley. Time to cut the cake!" If you had to pick the happiest person today, it would definitely be Mary, the mother.

Later, with her help, Sheldon divided the birthday cake into eight equal portions and distributed them to everyone.

"Sheldon, I have some good news, do you want to hear it?" Little George asked mischievously after receiving the cake.

"What good news is it?" Young Sheldon, still a child at heart, showed his thirst for knowledge.

"The good news is..."

After deliberately keeping everyone in suspense, little George continued with a smile, "You don't have to wear that weird outfit tomorrow. How about that, aren't you happy?"

Just like Captain America's bodysuit, Sheldon's outfit cosplaying as Uncle America looks equally bizarre to ordinary people.

Cross-dressing is not a good adjective.

People who are labeled in this way on campus are at risk of being isolated at any time.

Although young Sheldon didn't care much about what others thought, the frequent and scrutinizing glances from his classmates still made him very uncomfortable.

Similarly, as the older brother, George also experiences a lot of pressure having a strange brother at school.

So it's definitely good news that Sheldon Jr. can take off his cosplay outfit.

"How about it? This birthday present is pretty good, isn't it!" Perhaps to liven up the atmosphere, little George burst into laughter after sharing the good news.

"That's enough, little George!" Mary called out to her older son, who was trying to be funny, as she looked at her younger son's tense little face.

It turns out that even brothers might not have the same sense of humor.

What George thought was good news was likely just rubbing salt into Sheldon's wounds.

After all, Sheldon's previous experiences were not pleasant.

Then, everyone's attention turned to the birthday boy's face.

“George, you’re absolutely right, this is indeed good news.” Although Sheldon’s expression didn’t change much, his tone was much lighter.

With his statement, the birthday atmosphere lightened up again.

……

"Why, are you worried?"

Mike, who was sitting with Peggy eating cake, noticed the little girl's envious look as she gazed at Sheldon.

"No~" Peggy shook her head sensibly.

"Don't worry, I promise you'll have your own cake on your birthday in a few days." Mike seemed to have read the girl's mind.

Peggy's birthday is in March, around the same time as Sheldon's.

It's not hard to guess that children naturally look forward to their birthdays.

Moreover, for Peggy, the past year has been a rebirth for her.

Therefore, her next birthday will have special significance.

"Thank you~"

Realizing that she was also cared about, Peggy smiled sweetly and accepted Mike's kindness.

Chapter 227 Birthday (Continued)

Time flies, and it's already mid-March.

Deford, a small town in the southern state of California, is located in the temperate and subtropical regions.

After early spring, the temperature also rose rapidly.

Compared to just over two weeks ago when people still needed to wear light jackets when going out, students can now be seen everywhere at Melford College wearing short-sleeved T-shirts.

With the Super Bowl buzz and warmer weather in early February, high schools across Texas are busy preparing for their spring football invitational tournaments.

The same applies to Melford High School.

Because of their outstanding performance in last year's summer league, students at Melford have even more interest and expectations for their school's rugby team this year.

Indeed, if the Melford rugby team can maintain its strong performance from last year, they could very well help the school secure its status as a top sports school.

Therefore, this year's Spring Invitational is a great opportunity for Melford Rugby Team to make history.

"Mike, the invitational tournament starts in a couple of days. What are your thoughts?" At the school gate, Captain Aaron called out to Mike, who was about to leave for home.

The rugby captain, who was in the spotlight and was highly anticipated, looked somewhat tired at that moment.

For the sake of the team's performance, he has been bothering Mike quite a bit during this period.

"I'd love to contribute to the team, but the coach hasn't given me a reply yet..." Mike wouldn't mind playing a few friendly matches to help the school win more honors, as long as he could.

Moreover, after the start of the school year, he visited the rugby team a few times, but he never met the current head coach of the team.

Therefore, the matter of rejoining the team has not yet been finalized.

"Coach Wayne..." When the team's current head coach was mentioned, Captain Aaron's expression became even more serious, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Alright, I'll talk to the coach about your situation. Wait for my news..." After a brief silence, Captain Aaron offered his solution.

"OK, contact me anytime if anything comes up~" Mike waved and led Peggy out of the school.

To be honest, with professional level 4 rugby skills and physical strength five times that of an average person, Mike has no worries about his performance on the field.

He has completely mastered rugby, a sport that demands exceptional physical talent.

"Mike~" Peggy suddenly called out to Mike after they had walked a short distance from the campus.

"What's wrong, Peggy?" Mike stopped and turned to look at the little girl beside him, whose face was filled with expectation.

"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Peggy asked nervously, her hands behind her back.

Today is March 17th, Peggy's birthday.

She still kept in mind the birthday promise Mike had made to her.

"Uh, should I tell you something?" Mike feigned a puzzled expression.
