Without Mary's nagging, the Cooper family house felt very desolate.
George lay on the sofa, watching a football ga and drinking beer, looking quite content.
And in his room, Georgie, who was listening to rock music with the volu turned up, felt a rare sense of freedom without Mary's restrictions.
However, Georgie's stomach soon rumbled. He ca to the living room and asked, "Dad, what are we eating tonight?"
"There's still so bread in the fridge; you can figure it out," George said casually, taking a sip of beer.
Seeing his dad's current state, Georgie didn't expect him to make dinner. He took bread and sausages from the fridge, made two sandwiches, and then ca to the sofa.
After handing his dad a sandwich, Georgie munched on the cold food in his hand and began to miss the warm, delicious als from before.
Moreover, Georgie, having understood so things, also felt that his dad and mom arguing was not good. So, he carefully advised, "Dad, you should apologize to Mom. She'll forgive you..."
George showed no reaction to his eldest son's lukewarm persuasion. However, when he saw him trying to sneak a beer, George stopped him, "Stop, you're not old enough to drink."
His little trick discovered, Georgie said ingratiatingly, "There's so much beer in the house; it wouldn't hurt if I helped you with so."
This ti, to defy his wife, George bought a lot of beer with three hundred dollars, and it was piled everywhere in the house.
"No!" George replied very decisively; he didn't want to see his eldest son beco a drunkard.
Seeing there was no room for negotiation, Georgie disappointedly put down the beer in his hand. Then, he said, "Let's continue our previous topic. When are you going to ask Mom to co back?"
On this issue, Georgie shared Connie's view. He believed his parents would reconcile sooner or later.
For the sake of his stomach, Georgie felt it was necessary to speed up this process.
"No, this ti I'm not wrong, Mary is..." George also began to complain about his wife's faults.
Mary had previously focused too much on Sheldon, neglecting everyone else in the family. And after she started working at the church, this beca even more apparent.
After all, a person's energy is limited.
It could also be said that this ti George argued with his wife because he wanted to get her attention.
The strong-willed Mary, now with a job at the church as her financial foundation, made George sowhat afraid that she might leave him because of it.
Of course, this situation also stemd from George's recent struggles in work and life, which made him feel insecure.
In other words, George was experiencing a mid-life crisis.
Listening to George's narration, Georgie realized for the first ti how difficult things were for his dad.
"Life after marriage is too hard!" Georgie exclaid.
"That's how it is." George nodded in agreent, then advised his son, "Georgie, I think you need to be mature enough before finding a partner. Getting married after twenty-five is very good."
George took this opportunity to impart life experience to his eldest son.
"Twenty-five?" Georgie was now a bit afraid of marriage because of his dad. He thought for a mont and said, "It doesn't seem too difficult."
"Good!" George struck while the iron was hot, "It's settled then. If you can get married after twenty-five, I'll give you two thousand dollars."
Hearing that such a large sum of money was available, Georgie confidently said, "Don't worry, I'm definitely getting those two thousand dollars."
...
anwhile, Connie, who had failed to persuade Mary, had already started assigning rooms for everyone to rest.
Because this was an old house, there were only two rooms available for sleeping.
So, Mary and Missy were assigned to Connie's room, while Sheldon was to stay with Mike.
Just like that, several days passed in a blink of an eye, and Mary had not returned ho except to get a change of clothes.
On the other hand, because he was particular about his bed, Sheldon was not used to staying at Connie's.
Coupled with his constant calls to NASA being rejected, his condition seed to worsen day by day.
And as for Connie, she had long been accustod to a solitary lifestyle. Now, having two extra people resting in her room also made her very uncomfortable.
Connie, who hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days, also looked worse day by day.
On Friday evening, at dinner ti, Connie finally couldn't take it anymore and urged again, "Mary, when are you going to reconcile with George?"
Connie had initially thought Mary was just staying for two days, but who knew it would turn into a week, which severely interfered with her normal life.
Mary heard the unspoken aning in Connie's words and said dejectedly, "Are you going to kick us out too?"
"No, no, no! I didn't an that..." Seeing her daughter's sad expression, Connie quickly said, "You can stay as long as you want. I'm just worried that you and George lack communication, and your relationship will get worse and worse."
...
On the other hand, without Mary's managent, the Cooper family house had beco a pigsty, with dirty clothes, slly socks, and beer bottles strewn all over the floor.
Feeling that he would go crazy if things continued like this, Georgie put down the cold bread in his hand and advised, "Dad, I think it's ti you apologized to Mom."
And George, who had endured a week of hardship, also began to miss his wife's good qualities. He hesitated for a long ti and said, "Alright, I'll go and ask them to co back right now."
"Go for it, Dad!" For the sake of his stomach, Georgie clenched his fist and cheered on his dad.
George, putting on his jacket and heading out, coincidentally t Mary on the road, who was about to go ho to get a change of clothes.
The couple shared a knowing look for a long ti, and then George spoke first, "How have you been lately?"
"Just so-so..." Mary thought of the many inconveniences of living at Connie's and shook her head. Then, she asked, "How about you all?...I an, how is Georgie doing?"
"We're not doing well," George also shook his head and said, "Georgie really misses your cooking... Of course, I miss your delicious food too..."
In fact, not only was Georgie sick of eating bread, George felt the sa way.
At this mont, the couple, who had a strong emotional foundation, understood each other's feelings through their eye contact.
"The moonlight is beautiful tonight. Shall we go for a walk?" George invited.
"Of course!" Mary glanced at the dim moonlight in the sky and said with a smile.
So, the middle-aged couple walked hand in hand under the moonlight.
"Great, we can finally go ho!" Sheldon, who was observing the situation from the window, cheered when he saw his parents reconcile.
"I'll go help you pack your bags right away," Connie, who also noticed the situation outside, said with a smile.
Sheldon was happy because he could finally go ho and get a good night's sleep. And Connie had the sa reason as her little grandson.
"Mike, can I still co over to play on the computer in the future?" Feeling that they were about to part, Missy asked Mike reluctantly.
This week, if anyone had the most comfortable ti, it was definitely Missy.
Not only did she have more ti to spend with Mike every day, but she could also happily play gas with him.
