Chapter 14: The Seven Days of Talks
Although he accidentally encountered a wild demon in the community and was dissatisfied and complained about the development of the situation in his heart, Zheng Qing still suffered enough at home for two weeks, and did not leave home to return to school until February 2.
This is also the result of a combination of many reasons.
On the one hand, it was because before leaving the school, he agreed with the school that the return time through the 'grandfather clock channel' was 4:45 p.m. on February 2, and if there was any change in the meantime, it would not only mean a lot of paperwork and material work, but also additional expenses for the 'temporary channel'.
Compared to staying at home for a few more days, the cost of returning early is clearly not cost-effective.
On the other hand, it is related to old human relations.
Zheng Qing has only really entered the world of wizards for more than half a year, and he has been living in Pingyang City and the world of ordinary people for eighteen years.
Relatives on both sides of the parents, uncles and aunts, cousins, classmates in elementary school, junior high school, high school, interest classes, neighbors, etc., the bonds of 18 years will not be diluted and disappeared because they have not seen each other for half a year. On the contrary, these bonds have become stronger and closer because they have not been connected for more than half a year.
From the beginning of the first month, Zheng Qing has fallen into such a huge network that encompasses all aspects of his interpersonal relationships, and he can't get out.
After he had done a good job of all aspects of the relationship, six or seven days had passed, and it was time for him to leave home and return to school.
In addition to the above two reasons, the unexpected appearance of the wild demon also made Zheng Qing suspicious of the guarantee plan arranged by the Wizarding Alliance. For this reason, for a week after the year, he was busy burying protective charms in hidden places near his home and community every day, and at the same time exchanged New Year's gifts for his family with amulets.
For example, he prepared a sandalwood bead bracelet for his grandfather, a carved jade pendant for his mother, and an ivory keychain for his father β to ensure that the family carried as many of these amulets as possible with them at all times.
Of course, there is no need for him to worry about Sanyou Bookstore. Zheng Qing felt that if there was really a little demon with long eyes who went to Sanyou Bookstore to make trouble, then its brain must be Watt.
Also, completing the winter vacation homework also delayed Zheng Qing's pace to a certain extent.
Four weekly diaries, a potion configuration experience, a magic text analysis report, two hundred and eighty basic talisman copying, eight spell analysis, a crystal ball divination project, and the "Evaluation Manual" that needs the cooperation of parents to complete, etc., Zheng Qing should complete them as much as possible before returning to school.
The weekly diary can be delayed a little and the two articles can be completed first, but the rest of the content needs to be completed as soon as possible.
After all, according to the plan before the holiday, the two weeks after he returned to school belonged to the school working committee and Xin Fatzi. One is the public welfare work that has been arranged for a long time, and the other is the investigation task of the northern district of Beta Town agreed before the holiday. Time is tight and there are many tasks, and in the case of not being able to ensure the arrangement of follow-up events, it is a very smart choice to make a plan in advance and finish the homework first.
In short, this year's New Year, Zheng Qing's only feeling is that he is bad.
Whether it's the stray dog demon, or the follow-up disposal of the three-pronged sword, or the homework.
Perhaps the only thing that lifted him up was the few blessings he received on New Year's Day.
Many friends, including Xiao Xiao and Jiang Yu, did not give up preparing New Year's gifts for Zheng Qing because of the short winter vacation and the long distance. Of course, because the New Year is very close to the previous New Year's Day and Christmas, everyone did not give any formal gifts, but chose the form of paper cranes to pass greeting cards.
It can be said that the colorful paper cranes he received on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year were one of the few times when Zheng Qing was happy this New Year.
"It's just a few paper cranes, do you need to be so excited?" When there was no one at home, the yellow civet once complained about Zheng Qing's performance.
"You don't understand, it's called salvation...... Tell me that in addition to the immediate life, there are also poems and distances. Zheng Qingwen replied crepe: "This will make me full of confidence and hope in life." β
"Bullshit, bullshit confidence. Huang Huaci scoffed at Zheng Qing's answer, pulled his beard back, and rolled his eyes: "I can still understand what you said about the dog demon." β
When Zheng Qing heard this, he shook his head again and again: "Mr. is so elegant, how can he raise such a cheesy cat as you?"
This is pure assault.
Answering Zheng Qing, there was no cat meow, only a cat paw the size of a fan, which made him face to face and slapped him down on the bed.
It's also interesting to think about.
In the past few days at home, Zheng Qing can't help but imagine what his companions in the school are doing, whether they are hunting freely in the hunting grounds, or conducting interesting magic experiments in the laboratory; in addition to his friends, he will also worry about whether the group of elves he raises will panic because of his absence, whether they will be taken away by passing eagles; in addition, whether Poseidon is living in the Qingqiu Mansion, whether D&K's business is normal, and so on.
It can be said that staying at home, his mind is often running on the things of another magical world.
And as the time to leave home got closer and closer, especially the night before leaving home, he began to worry about things at home again.
For example, whether the protective charms he laid near his home are effective, whether they will be washed away by the rain or ruined by small animals; for example, whether the amulets he gave to his parents, grandfather and other family members will always be worn on their bodies; and for example, when his old classmates asked him to leave his phone number and mailing address during the Chinese New Year, if he can't be contacted after the New Year, will he be complained.
"Don't worry, when you're not there, and Mr. Wu is not there, I'll take the time to help you take care of the house. When saying goodbye to Deng Xiaoxian, the young owner of the Rejuvenation Hall blew the long hair in front of his forehead, so relieved.
This made Zheng Qing feel a lot more at ease.
"Remember to help me say hello to Huang Xiaoya for the New Year," Zheng Qing said, took out a box of elf seeds, and stuffed them into Deng Xiaoxian's hand: "This is a New Year's gift for that girl, she hasn't come back, you can help me transfer it." β
Deng Xiaoxian took the small box, checked it, and raised his eyebrows: "What about mine?"
"What an adult, I still want a New Year's gift, don't be ashamed. Zheng Qing pushed Pan Donkey away and stabbed him again: "If you want a gift, wait for you to get married." β
This is the talk to death.
After a long pause, Deng Xiaoxian found the topic of counterattack.
"Didn't you say before that you planned to renovate the faΓ§ade of the time-honored brands in the Hui Zi Collection, and how are you preparing?" Deng Xiaoxian said that Zheng Qing had made a bold statement after returning from Damingfang for the first time, comparing the differences between the two markets.
But as time went on, as he opened his own small shop, Zheng Qing came to realize that the decoration of the store needed to match the temperament of the market in which he was located.
His previous plans were somewhat taken for granted.
"Don't rush it, take your time. Faced with Pan Donkey's question, Zheng Qing finally gave a vague answer: "This kind of thing...... There will always be a right solution. β
