Twenty-three, sugar melon sticky, twenty-four, sweeping the house.

The second day of Zheng Qing's homecoming, that is, January 19, corresponds to the 24th day of the lunar month.

Early in the morning, after finishing the morning class, he was urged by his parents to start cleaning. Originally, according to Zheng Qing's idea, this kind of trouble only needs to turn over the law book and use two small magic tricks to solve it.

But the facts tell him that at all times, he should prepare for the worst.

Because there was always an 'adult' by his side when Zheng Qing was cleaning—sometimes it was his grandfather, sometimes it was Zheng's father, and sometimes it was Zheng's mother—in short, they always seemed to find some reason to stay by Zheng Qing's side, such as helping him wash the rags, such as helping him hold up a stool, or simply standing aside and chattering while Zheng Qing worked.

This leaves our wizards with no way to use magic to be lazy.

No, it's not completely devoid of magic.

In the morning's labor, Zheng Qing consumed five meditation talismans and two talismans to make up for his energy, ensuring that he could complete his tasks efficiently and reasonably under the nagging and supervision of several parents.

It's not easy.

'Why should I fill out a bunch of application forms, waste my free vacation, and then go home to find guilt?' The young wizard grew more and more melancholy as he knelt on the ground and wiped his baseboard, as he imagined the leisurely life of his peers at school.

For the shamans, the wax moon is also a moon hunt – a moon hunt that is different from the moon hunt held by First University in October when the 'Campus Cup' was held, but a long-standing tradition of 'hunting animals in the field to worship the ancestors'.

In other words, in this lunar month, the shamans are more active in sacrificing Jiao.

Of course, in addition to the sacrifices, many wizarding organizations, including the Wizarding Alliance, will hold small hunting tournaments, or preseason tournaments of large-scale hunting tournaments during this time, as a ritual as a ritual and a pastime after a busy year.

The Sin Hunters are no exception.

Zheng Qing knew that during the two weeks he was away from school, the Guilty Hunting Team had three small competitions with other hunting teams, including Matthew's hunting team and Andrew's Ouroboros hunting team. Originally, he thought that these games were a great disrespect and waste of vacation time, but compared to his housework at home, staying at school and doing hunting games didn't seem so bad.

The joy of returning home was quickly drained by the ravages of housework the next morning.

After lunch, Zheng Qing finally found a reason to escape from this small cage.

He was going to Sanyou Bookstore to help Mr. Wu clean the bookstore.

"I have to come back before half past six," before going out, Zheng's mother repeatedly advised, "Otherwise, dinner will have to be warmed for you again...... Also, your third uncle's cousin is looking for you to learn from the college entrance examination this year, so you come back early in the evening to help him tutor his homework or something. ”

Zheng Qing, who has received an admission letter from a foreign university, has become what his relatives call 'someone else's child', and in the morning's labor, he has heard his parents mention that his relatives' children want to ask him for homework tutoring.

It made him laugh and cry a little.

I haven't read the number of words for half a year, how can I help them tutor...... If they want to learn how to hunt, or herb identification, or spell building, I can help.

The young wizard pondered helplessly, wondering whether to catch a little mischievous ghost from the collection of words to scare his cousin, and vaguely agreed to his mother's advice and fled.

Sanyou Book House is located at the bottom of the street in Yunhua Community.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, most of the shops on the street have closed their doors, and most of the shops that are still open are also businesses like barber shops, which are taboo in the New Year.

When Zheng Qing walked towards the bookstore with a broom and mop, he passed by a barber shop, and the proprietress of the store happened to go out to throw out the garbage.

"When did Xiaoqing come back? How many days did you stay at home?"

"The plane last night. Zheng Qing smiled a little shyly: "It is estimated that I will leave on the seventh and eighth days of the first month...... The school has requirements. ”

"Tsk, this foreign school is different. The proprietress muttered a few words, then looked at the things Zheng Qing was carrying in her hand, and said with a smile: "Are you going to help Mr. Wu clean the shop......?"

For such praise, Zheng Qing has never faced it.

Fortunately, the barbershop proprietress didn't expect Zheng Qing to give any interesting answers, she mentioned that Mr. Wu's shop was just an introduction.

"Speaking of which, did Mr. Wu find a new guy in the store?" The barber shop proprietress glanced back in the direction of Sanyou Bookstore and muttered: "Yesterday I passed by the bookstore, and I seemed to hear someone talking inside, and the sound of watching TV, but the door of the bookstore was always closed." You know, the window of that bookstore is frosted glass, and you can't see anything through the window......"

Listening to the barbershop proprietress chattering analysis, Zheng Qing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

From the very beginning, except for Mr. Wu, Sanyou Book House only worked part-time as a small man. I've never heard my husband mention hiring a new clerk, and I haven't heard my grandfather talk about it.

Moreover, the TV is a modern electronic product that Mr. Wu has never used.

As a wizard, Zheng Qing's first reaction was that the store was haunted—unguarded shops, enclosed spaces, and unusual noises—any wizard's first reaction must be related to ghosts and ghosts.

Of course, he certainly couldn't tell the barbershopkeeper about this kind of speculation.

"Oh, Mr. Wu also called me yesterday to talk about this," Zheng Qing said nonsense without blushing: "He said that he forgot to turn off the TV when he left, and asked me to turn off the TV when I came to clean today." ”

The barbershop proprietress was relieved when she heard this.

"I said, I must have forgotten to turn off the TV, and they said something weird, haha. As if realizing that her words were not appropriate, the proprietress said halfway, snorted, waved her hand and signaled Zheng Qing to hurry up and go about her own business: "Mr. Wu too, he has been doing studies all day long, and he has no life experience at all...... No one in the store has to turn off all the water and electricity! Especially since he runs a bookstore, how dangerous it would be if the TV burns out!"

Zheng Qing nodded again and again, agreeing, and at the same time, the pace under his feet unconsciously accelerated a little.

He bet that if he showed some interest in chatting, he probably wouldn't be able to get to the bookstore two hundred meters away in another hour.

Not far after the trot, the narrow door of the Sanyou Book House appeared in Zheng Qing's sight.

As usual, the doorway was closed, and the black sign hung on the windowsill, on which the words "The shopkeeper has something to go out, this store is temporarily closed" in large white letters, which are particularly eye-catching.
