American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

For a time, the environmental movement was unprecedentedly popular throughout the United States.

Fortunately, Deford is a remote town and has not been affected by those "radicals".

In the aftermath of the disaster, the residents of the town of Deford began rebuilding their homes.

"Mike, have you noticed? George and Mary have been acting a little strange these past few days." Missy, the little girl who was helping Mike hand him tools, couldn't help but complain as she looked at her sticky parents not far away.

A harmonious married life gave Mary a rosy and radiant complexion, and her temper became much more docile. And old man George, having achieved his wish, seemed to have been given a second spring, full of energy.

“Isn’t this great? You won’t have to worry about them getting divorced anymore,” Mike said with a smile.

"It's good, but something just doesn't feel right..." Missy frowned, puzzled.

Clearly, openly displaying affection is never a pleasant thing.

"Missie, do you want to know why your parents became like that?" Connie's grandmother, standing nearby, mysteriously joined the conversation.

"Why?" Sure enough, Grandma Connie's words piqued Missy's curiosity.

"Well, you'll understand when you grow up!" Grandma Connie, having successfully pulled off her prank, chuckled and went to the side, leaving the little girl standing there feeling dejected.

Because they are detached houses, compared to rows of apartment buildings, Cooper's and Connie's grandmother's cabins suffered much more damage in this storm.

Even with Mike, George Jr., and George's father as strong laborers, the house repair work still lasted for almost half a month.

On this day, after both cabins were completely repaired, the Cooper family, along with Grandma Connie and others, held another gathering to celebrate their "new home."

"This should be veal. Where did you get it?" George's father, who was enjoying the special roast meat, suddenly asked Mike.

Grandma's special barbecue recipe uses the tenderest beef possible.

However, veal that has not yet grown to full size is generally not available for purchase.

This time, the Cooper family and Connie's grandmother, among others, also benefited from Mike's good food.

“It was a gift from Lina. You know their farm; it was quite badly damaged this time,” Mike explained.

Thanks to Mike's warning when the strong winds came, Lina and her family were unharmed. However, the situation is much worse for the cattle that weren't called back from the mountain in time.

After the disaster, Lina's family lost some of their cattle, but many more were crushed or seriously injured.

As a result, she had a large amount of raw beef at home that needed to be processed.

Fortunately, Karen's dad owns a beef burger factory and always needs a large supply of beef.

Therefore, thanks to Mike's connections, Lina's family was able to find a market for their surplus beef.

Meanwhile, at Cooper's restaurant, with Mike leading the way, the conversation naturally turned to the natural disaster.

As the saying goes: Where there is natural disaster, there is bound to be evil spirits.

More than half a month had passed since the natural disaster, and the influence of environmentalists had expanded rapidly. Reportedly, the more radical members were no longer satisfied with simply closing factories; based on the "cow farting" theory, some had begun advocating for the extermination of farm cattle.

Then, something funny happened.

A group of animal lovers' organizations, driven by a sense of righteousness, emerged at this moment.

In short, the United States is in complete chaos because of these "awakened ones".

Chapter 334 Another Graduation Season

Just as the Cooper family dinner was coming to an end, Brenda happened to knock on the door with several cleaned hen meats in her hand.

The strong winds caused severe damage to Brenda's house, and her chicken coop in the yard was also destroyed.

Brenda brought chicken to the Cooper family partly to mend her relationship with them, and partly because she had too much chicken and needed to use it up quickly.

"What are you doing here?" Mary didn't give the person a friendly look after seeing who it was.

"Uh, I have a lot of chicken at home, so I thought I'd bring some over for you to try." Although nothing had happened between her and George, Brenda still seemed a little guilty when she saw Mary.

"Thank you, you can go now." At the door, Mary took the "gift" from Brenda's hand, but did not invite her in.

Brenda, realizing she was in the wrong, wanted to apologize to Mary, but seeing Mary's expression, she didn't know how to start.

So, after hesitating for a while and not finding a chance to apologize, she could only turn around and walk back.

On the other side, Mary, as if she had won a battle, proudly returned to the restaurant carrying her "spoils of war".

"Who sent this chicken? It looks very good," Grandma Connie commented, looking at the prepared chicken.

“It’s Brenda. She said she had too much chicken at home and wanted to give us some to try.” As Mary spoke, her gaze unconsciously drifted towards George.

"It's Brenda. Her chicken coop will probably be gone soon. It's so sad..." Grandma Connie sighed.

Because they were next-door neighbors, Connie's grandmother and the Cooper family could see what was happening at Brenda's house.

Brenda's salary at the bowling alley wasn't high to begin with, and with a young boy to support, life was quite difficult.

The eggs produced daily by the chicken coop in her yard can supplement her family's income.

Now that the strong winds have passed, the chicken coop is gone.

It's easy to imagine that the lives of that widow and her child will only become more difficult in the future.

"How about we go and help Brenda's family repair their house?" George suggested.

Brenda's house was in about the same state of disrepair as Cooper's house had been.

Because there is only one woman in the family who can do the work, more than half a month has passed and their house is still in a damaged state.

George Jr. was just being kind; it was a way of returning the favor.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he sensed that the atmosphere at home had become strange, especially Mary's face, which had darkened.

Old George, standing to the side, seemed to have gone mad, constantly giving him meaningful glances.

"What's wrong with you guys? Did I say something wrong?" Little George, bewildered, wore the same "clueless" expression that Little Sheldon always had.

Just as the atmosphere was getting tense, Mary suddenly spoke up: "Little George is right. As neighbors, we should help each other. How about this, we'll organize some people tomorrow to help Brenda repair her house."

Mary, a believer in God, eventually softened her heart.

As a warning, she glared at her husband again as she spoke.

Old George could only force a smile.

……

After the strong winds subsided, the weather in the town of Deford gradually cleared up.

Over the next two weeks, the residents of Deford town gradually completed the reconstruction of their homes.

This included Brenda's family, whose house was quickly repaired with the help of the Cooper family and Mike.

Then another month passed, and as summer arrived, the wave of enthusiasm stirred up by environmentalists and animal lovers gradually subsided.

It was under these circumstances that Mike celebrated his high school graduation.

"Mike, you stand in the middle. Sheldon and Peggy, you two stand on either side of Mike..."

"Yes, that's it, keep smiling~"

With the click of the camera, Mike's class finished taking their graduation photos.

Afterwards, Mike, Peggy, and Sheldon, the three outstanding students, were kept behind to take a group photo with a group of school leaders.

It is worth mentioning that Tom, the newly appointed principal, finally expressed his feelings to Sharon, the math team's teacher, over the past six months.

The two are now officially in a romantic relationship.

"Mike, your university recommendation letters are ready." After the group photo, Principal Tom, accompanied by Ms. Sharon, specifically sought out Mike and his two classmates, saying, "Regardless of which university you choose, on behalf of Melford High School, I wish you all a bright future!"

As the most outstanding students in Melford High School's history, Mike and his two friends are likely to become the pride of the school in the future.

Therefore, they deserve the principal's high regard.

After greeting all the teachers and completing the graduation process, Mike and his two classmates finally relaxed.

Beside the playground, Connie's grandmother, Mary, and others witnessed the graduation ceremony.

Mary, in particular, was moved to tears when she saw her youngest son graduate successfully.

"Hey Mike. Congratulations on graduating high school!" Surprisingly, Jack from the TV station was also there.

Because of his successful bets on Mike several times, he is now doing very well at the local television station.

"You look even more handsome today, even more handsome than in the poster." After switching to television media, Jack's compliments came easily.

However, he wasn't wrong, because Mike dressed up specially for the graduation ceremony, wearing a stiff white t-shirt and black casual pants, and his hair was also styled.

With his tall and straight figure of 1.87 meters and his exquisite features like a dream elf, he was indeed more charming than usual.

"By the way, have you decided which university you're going to?" After a few pleasantries, Jack got down to business.

"Oh, are you going to recommend a university to me?" Mike asked with a smile.

In the past few days, he has indeed received invitations from many prestigious universities, but he has not yet decided which university he will attend.

Being academically outstanding and having too many choices can also be a source of distress.

Sheldon Jr. and Peggy were in the same situation, receiving sincere invitations from many universities.

“No, not at all.” Jack shook his head and explained his situation: “I recently got an internship opportunity at Apple City TV Station because of work. If I do well, there’s a possibility I could stay there. So I was wondering if it’s possible for us to continue on the same path.”

Sticking together for warmth is human nature.

Judging from the situation, Jack has come to regard Mike as his lucky star.

"Congratulations on your promotion." Mike was happy for Jack, seeing his bright future. He then added, "As for which university I'll attend, I haven't decided yet. But thriving Apple City is a good choice. I'll consider it."

The Big Apple, located in the economic and cultural center, is indeed very competitive.

"Alright, take your time to think it over. If you're going to Apple City, remember to contact me." After explaining his purpose, Jack didn't take up any more of Mike's time.

On the other side, Princess Mia, accompanied by her maid, was already waiting for Mike.

For Princess Mia, graduation season means saying goodbye.

The girl had decided to return to Genovia in a few days. Therefore, she cherished every day she spent with Mike from then on.

Beside him, the little maid, whose body had been "developed," looked at Mike with deep reluctance in her eyes.

Chapter 335 School Choice

After spending a day and a night with Mike, Princess Mia, along with Amy and Alan, boarded a private plane back to Genovya.

Mia, unwilling to bind Mike, ultimately failed to complete the task her grandmother had entrusted to her: to bring Mike back with her.

Of course, the two didn't lose contact. They had already agreed that they would meet again someday.

After seeing off the reluctant Mia, Mike drove his red Ferrari back to Cooper's house and found the whole family sitting neatly in the living room.

Grandma Connie and Peggy were also there.

"What's going on?" Mike asked, noticing the awkward atmosphere.

The room was divided into two factions, mainly Mary and George's father, who seemed to be discussing something, and were somewhat at odds.

“George and Mary are discussing where Shelley should go to college,” Grandma Connie explained, then asked, “By the way, Mike, have you decided which college you want to go to?”

“Hmm…” Mike pondered for a moment before replying, “If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Columbia University. They have promised me ample funding for my education.”

The university has no shortage of excellent students, but it lacks super geniuses like Sheldon, Peggy, and Mike.

Especially for prodigies like Sheldon and Peggy, their participation in any university can serve as excellent publicity for the local institution.

Mike's options for school locations include Apple City and California. Both of these areas are highly developed economically and culturally.

Apple City is home to Wall Street, Broadway, Central Park, and other landmarks. Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens are all typical commercial districts.

As for California, the Los Angeles area has fun places like Hollywood, Disneyland, and the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

While ensuring economic development, it is also a great place that integrates culture and tourism, and is suitable for living and leisure.

However, considering his future prospects, Mike ultimately chose to go to the Metropolitan Area.

“Shelly could probably go to Columbia University instead of the University of Texas,” George’s father, who wanted his bright youngest son to see the world, said immediately after hearing Mike’s choice.

Clearly, while loving his youngest son, George's father was even more eager to see him grow up.

He had previously suggested that his youngest son attend a better school than the University of Texas, such as Harvard or Princeton.

However, his wife rejected all his proposals, citing that their youngest son was too young.
