American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Connie: "Mary, hold on a minute, our little guest is already waiting outside."

George: "Missie, go to the room and call little George out!"

George: "Sheldon, when you meet the guests, don't say anything strange!"

Sheldon: "I know, it's just that someone is going to stay at Grandma Connie's house, why are you all so excited?"

……

After a flurry of activity, George's family and his grandmother Connie appeared neatly at the door.

Mike had just finished getting dressed and got out of the RV.

"Oh~" Grandma Connie came up to greet him. She was first surprised by Mike's height, and then looked at Mike's face for a long time, as if trying to identify something.

Finally, she smiled and said warmly, "You must be Mike. Your eyes are so much like Elizabeth's, just as captivating."

The Elizabeth she mentioned was Mike's deceased grandmother.

Mike had already guessed, so he wasn't too surprised to see that it really was Sheldon Jr. and his family, along with Connie's grandmother. He politely said, "I am Mike, Mike Quinn. Are you Connie Tucker?"

“It’s me. You can call me Grandma Connie or Grandma Connie…” Grandma Connie said, then, remembering that Mike had no family, she stepped forward and hugged him, saying, “What a poor child.”

Okay, Mike, who is tall and strong, is actually almost a head taller than Connie's grandma, who is just over 1.6 meters tall.

Moreover, Mike also has a farm to inherit. From any perspective, he's hardly pitiful.

……

Missy, already captivated by Mike's handsome face, excitedly asked Mary, "Mom, can I marry Mike?"

Mary was still touched when she heard her youngest daughter's question. Her eyes widened, and she explained, "Of course not, you're still in elementary school."

Missy: "Can I marry him after I go to junior high school?"

Mary said sternly, "Even junior high is not acceptable!"

Missy: "Then..."

Mary: "High school won't do either!"

Missy's mother anticipated what she was going to say, and she gave an unhappy "humph".

Then, she quietly took two steps toward her father, George, while holding her doll, as a sign of protest against Mary's mother.

Chapter 3 Gathering Wool

After releasing Mike, Connie's grandmother fell into reminiscence and told Mike, "It was more than thirty years ago when I met your grandmother in Las Vegas. She was a beautiful woman with flowing blonde hair..."

"Back then, we were dominating the casino..."

Seeing that Connie's words were becoming increasingly outrageous, Mary quickly spoke up, "Mommy~"

"Look at me, I can't stop when I'm happy." Grandma Connie realized that Mike was still a child. She smiled apologetically and introduced, "This is my daughter, Mary."

Mary stepped forward and gave Mike a warm hug.

“This is her husband, George,” Connie’s grandmother introduced them one by one.

George was a chubby middle-aged man who, apart from not being bald, resembled Dennis in many ways.

He stepped forward and shook hands with Mike in a friendly manner, saying, "Welcome, Mike."

Next up was Cooper's eldest son, George Jr., who also politely stepped forward and shook hands with Mike.

When Mike came to the little girl Missy, without Grandma Connie's introduction, Missy excitedly jumped into Mike's arms.

Only when Mary's mother's eyes turned dangerous did Missy release her arm, take a step back, tug at her little skirt, and say in a very ladylike manner, "My name is Missy, it's nice to meet you."

"My name is Mike, and I'm just as happy as you are." Mike smiled and nodded at the little girl.

Finally, Grandma Connie led Mike to young Sheldon and introduced him, saying, "This is Sheldon, the smartest kid in the Cooper family."

Young Sheldon sported a grown-up hairstyle and a neat little bow tie on his shirt collar.

When Connie's grandmother introduced him, he put on the woolen gloves he had prepared beforehand, then extended his hand and said seriously, "Mike, you look much smarter than little George. I hope we can become friends."

Currently, Mary is worried that Sheldon is having trouble making friends.

To avoid worrying his mother, the clever Sheldon has started trying to make friends at school, but the results are not ideal.

That's why he had the idea of ​​becoming friends with Mike.

"Sheldon, do you have mysophobia?" Mike didn't choose to shake hands; he stared at Sheldon's gloved hand and asked knowingly.

"Of course not, I wear gloves just to protect myself from bacteria. You know, people's palms sweat easily, which provides a breeding ground for all kinds of bacteria..." Sheldon explained in a serious tone.

“Okay, Sheldon, from a medical point of view, this is obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness.” Mike smiled, extended his hand, and continued, “But don’t worry, I washed my hands thoroughly before I left.”

Looking at Mike's long, clean hands, Sheldon was caught in the dilemma of whether or not to remove his gloves to shake hands.

"What a lovely child~" Seeing Sheldon's conflicted expression, Mike immediately leaned down and pulled him into his arms.

When Mike felt Sheldon's body gradually stiffen, he smiled and let him go.

The hug made Sheldon's brain stop working. With an awkward but polite smile, he asked, "Excuse me, I was wondering what time you left?"

Clearly, he was still pondering the question of whether Mike's hands contained bacteria.

"Hmm, let me think..." Mike pretended to count on his fingers and said seriously, "I probably left the house around noon yesterday."

Young Sheldon realized that a day and a half had passed since Mike last washed his hands. His face filled with horror, he cried out, "Oh my god, germs... germs..."

Like a headless fly, after spinning around in place a few times, Sheldon shouted and rushed back to the house behind him.

Intelligence attribute +10

Intelligence attribute +5

Mike watched the other person leave, then beckoned and caught the two orbs of light that Sheldon had dropped from mid-air.

"What a gem of a boy!" Mike exclaimed softly.

One of the two orbs of light fell when she hugged Sheldon, and the other fell when he started yelling.

Intelligence: 143 (128+15)

After Mike's intelligence increased to 140, the feeling was very obvious; it was like a single-core computer had been upgraded to a dual-core processor.

Some previously unclear memories have also surfaced in my mind.

The exhilarating feeling of intellectual enhancement is no less than a leap in life.

"Mike! Mike!! Are you alright?" Grandma Connie saw Mike standing there, stunned, and waved her hand in front of his eyes.

Mike was dazed as he processed the jumbled information in his mind. Once he came to his senses, he quickly said, "I'm fine, it's just Sheldon?"

“That’s just how he is, he’ll be fine in a little while… You’ll get used to it.” Grandma Connie explained, then invited, “You must be hungry, come inside and try the Texas-style barbecue I prepared for you.”

Surrounded by his grandmother Connie and the Sheldon family, Mike entered the house.

Sitting at the dining table, Mike felt like he had forgotten something.

However, with so much information already in his mind, Mike didn't think about it in detail for the time being.

(At this moment, a middle-aged man was still fast asleep inside the RV outside.)

……

During the pre-meal prayer, Sheldon finally came out of the bathroom, but his gaze toward Mike was somewhat "resentful".

In the center of the table was a large piece of roast meat specially made by Connie's grandmother, and next to it was a sumptuous dinner prepared by housewife Mary.

After a hearty meal, George, the head of the family, took a small sip of beer and asked, "Mike, how tall are you?"

“About 1.8 meters tall,” Mike replied, swallowing the piece of grilled meat in his mouth.

George Cooper, a veteran football coach, immediately recognized Mike's potential in the sport, so he continued, "And your weight?"

"Around 170 pounds (77kg)..." Mike has been growing very fast lately, so he could only give a rough estimate.

"Good physique. You're still young; your body will grow further." George's eyes lit up, and he continued, "Have you ever played rugby before?"

“No, not at all…” Mike shook his head.

“It’s a bit of a shame…” George sighed, then invited, “But it’s not too late now. Would you like to join my high school football team? With your talent, you’ll get the hang of it quickly.”

"Oh, by the way, I'm the head coach of the high school football team." George smiled confidently, then pointed at his eldest son with his chin and said, "Also, little George is a member of the school football team."

"Come on, I'm just a bench player," George said sullenly when his father mentioned him, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied.

To be honest, George is about the same age as Mike, but he is only a little over 1.6 meters tall and has a very thin build.

Compared to his father's massive size, George Jr. is hardly a talent in football.

“Alright, Mike has just arrived. He’ll make his own decision once he’s settled in at school.” Mary stopped her husband from bringing up the topic, preserving some dignity for little George.

Then, she looked at Mike and asked in confusion, "Mike, you're probably not sixteen yet, right? How could they let you drive here alone?"

"Oh no! Dennis!!"

Mike finally remembered what he had forgotten, and with a cry of surprise, he ran out the door.

(At this moment, a bald middle-aged man inside the RV opened his eyes in confusion...)

Chapter 4 Enrollment

Melford Secondary School is the only public secondary school in the town of Deford.

Because it is tuition-free, this welfare-oriented public high school is very popular with locals.

Incidentally, both Sheldon Jr. and George Jr. attended this school for high school.

In Connie's grandmother's car, Mike sat in the front passenger seat, while Dennis remained silently in the back.

"Dennis, are you still angry about yesterday?" Mike said, tilting his head. "Come on, believe me, I didn't mean it."

Yesterday, Denise woke up in the car and found Mike wasn't there; she was nearly scared out of her wits.

Later, he was calmed down by Grandma Connie's secret-recipe barbecue and George's beer. But from then on, he looked at Mike with resentment and refused to speak to him.

"You're such a grown man, yet you still act like a child!" Seeing that Dennis was still ignoring him, Mike shrugged, looking helpless.

Connie's grandmother, who was driving, was amused by the way the two were interacting. It was clear that she really liked Mike, this handsome and cheerful young man.

She smiled and asked, "Mike, would you like to experience what it's like to drive yourself to school?"

“Of course I would,” Mike replied. “That’s cool, isn’t it?”

Dennis, sitting in the back seat, listened to the conversation between the two in the front and finally couldn't help but speak up, stopping them: "No, Mike, you're not sixteen yet, driving is illegal..."

Seeing that Dennis had finally decided to speak, the two men in front of them exchanged a glance and laughed happily.

Dennis also realized that Mike and the other man were just "joking".

After calming down, he said seriously, "Listen, Mike, I'm not angry with you, I'm angry with myself. I shouldn't have let you drive the RV."

Also, I hope you won't touch the steering wheel until you get your driver's license.

Mike knew Dennis was concerned about him, so he waved to the people in the back and said, "Okay~"

Dennis had just relaxed when Mike asked, "Dennis, when I'm taking my driving test, can I touch the steering wheel?"

……

In the principal's office, Principal Tom, who was nearly sixty years old, held Mike's transfer file in his hand.

Seeing that the reason for the transfer was not stated in the file, Principal Tom asked in confusion, "Could you tell me in detail why Mike transferred schools?"

Dennis, who was in charge of Mike's transfer, said, "I'm sorry, this is a private matter, and I can't give you an answer."

However, I can assure you that Mike is a well-behaved and obedient young man.

The problem with transferring schools wasn't his fault; he was just unlucky and got caught in the crossfire.

Grandma Connie, who was standing nearby, didn't know why Mike had transferred schools either, but she still chimed in, "Tom, do you think Mike is the kind of bad kid? Look outside, how popular he is!"

Because today was a special day, Mike made a special effort to dress up before going out.

His black casual suit, paired with his handsome face, immediately attracted the attention of girls as soon as he appeared on campus.

They called their friends and followed Mike like pilgrims on a pilgrimage.

Sure enough, after Mike entered the principal's office, they refused to leave, crowding around the office door like ostriches, craning their necks to peer inside.
