Vol 5 Chapter 14: 7th talk

Although he accidentally encountered a wild monster in the community and felt dissatisfied and complained about the development of the situation in his heart, Zheng Qing still lived at home for two weeks and did not leave home and return to school until February 2.
This is also the result of a combination of many factors.
On the one hand, it was because before leaving school, he and the school agreed that the return time through the clock channel was 4:45 pm on February 2nd. Any changes during this period would not only mean a lot of paperwork and material work. , It also means additional expenses for
temporary passage
.
Compared with staying at home for a few more days, the cost of returning early is obviously not worthwhile.
On the other hand, it is related to the old relationships.
Zheng Qing has only really entered the world of wizards for more than half a year, and he has lived in Pingyang City, in the world of ordinary people, for a full 18 years.
Relatives on both sides of the parents, uncles and aunts, cousins, classmates from elementary school, classmates from junior high school, classmates from high school, classmates from hobby classes, friends from neighbors, etc. Eighteen years of fetters will not be caused by not seeing you for half a year. Fades and disappears. On the contrary, these bonds have become stronger and closer because of no contact for more than half a year.
From the beginning of the first month, Zheng Qing has been caught in such a huge network covering all aspects of interpersonal relationships, and he cannot get away.
After he took care of all aspects of the favor, 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 wild monsters also made Zheng Qing suspicious of the guarantee plan arranged by the Wizarding Alliance. For this reason, for a week after the new year, he was busy planting protective charms in secret places near his home and community, and at the same time replaced his family’s New Year gifts with amulets.
For example, he prepared sandalwood bead bracelets for his grandfather, a zodiac carved jade pendant for his mother, and an ivory keychain for his father. This is to ensure that the family can carry as many amulets on their bodies as possible.
Of course, there is no need for him to worry about Sanyou Bookstore. Zheng Qing felt that if a little demon with short eyes really made trouble in the Sanyou Bookstore, then his brain must be Watt.
In addition, completing the winter vacation homework also delayed Zheng Qing's pace to some extent.
Four weekly diaries, a potion configuration experience, a magic text analysis report, 280 basic rune copying, eight spell analysis, a crystal ball divination project, and the "evaluation manual" that requires parents to complete, etc. Wait, Zheng Qing wants to complete them as much as possible before returning to school.
Weekly diaries can be delayed for a while, and two chapters should be completed first; but other content needs to be completed as early 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 Fatty Xin. One is the public welfare labor that has already been arranged, and the other is the investigation task of the northern district of Beta Town, which was agreed before the holiday. Time is tight and there are many tasks. When you cannot ensure the arrangement of follow-up events, it is a very smart choice to make an advance and finish the homework first.
In short, this year's New Year, Zheng Qing only feels bad.
Whether it is the stray dog ​​monster, the follow-up work of the three-pronged sword, or homework.
Perhaps the only thing that excites him is the few blessings he received during the New Year.
Many friends, including Xiao Xiao and Jiang Yu, did not give up preparing Zheng Qing's New Year gifts because of the short winter vacation and the long distance. Of course, because the New Year and the previous New Year's Day and Christmas are very close in time, everyone did not give any more formal gifts, but chose the form of paper cranes to deliver greeting cards.
It can be said that the few colorful paper cranes received on the morning of the New Year's Day are one of the few times when Zheng Qing makes him 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, Huang Huali once complained about Zheng Qing's performance.
"You don't understand, this is salvation... Tell me that life is not only the present ambivalence, but also the poetry and the distance." Zheng Qingwen replied: "This will make me full of confidence and hope in life."
"Bullshit, confidence." Huang Huali sneered at Zheng Qing's answer, his beard tugged back, and rolled his eyes: "I can still understand you saying the dog monster."
Zheng Qing shook his head again and again after hearing the words: "How can you raise a cheesy cat like your gentleman with such an elegant sentiment?"
This is purely a beating.
In answer to Zheng Qing, there was no meowing, only the big cat's paws, which baffled him and slapped him on the bed.
It's also fun to think about.
In the past few days at home, Zheng Qing always can't help but imagine what the companions of the crime hunting team in the school are doing, whether they are hunting freely in the hunting ground, or conducting interesting magic experiments in the laboratory; except for friends People, he would also worry about whether the group of elves he raised would panic because of his absence, and would be taken away by the passing eagles; in addition, Poseidon’s staying in the Qingqiu Mansion was unsteady, Is D&K's operations normal, etc.
It can be said that while staying at home, his mind often ran about another magical world.
As the time away from home got closer, especially the night before leaving home, he began to struggle with family affairs again.
For example, is the protective charm he laid near his home effective? Will it be washed away by rain or ruined by small animals; for example, the amulet he gave to his parents, grandfather and other family members, will they wear it all the time? The students asked him to leave his phone number and mailing address. If he can't be contacted after the year, will he be complained?
"Don't worry, I will take time to take care of your home when you are not there and Mr. Wu is not there." When bidding farewell to Deng Xiaoxian, the young master of the Huichuntang blew the long hair on his forehead. So relieved.
This makes Zheng Qing feel at ease.
"Remember to ask Huang Xiaoya a happy new year," Zheng Qing said, took out a box of elf seeds, and stuffed it into Deng Xiaoxian's hands: "This is a New Year gift for that girl. She never came back. You Please pass it to me~EbookFREE.me~ Deng Xiaoxian took the small box, and raised his eyebrows: "Where is mine? "
"How old you are, and you want New Year gifts. It's not ashamed." Zheng Qing pushed Pan Lu'er away and stabbed again: "If you want a gift, wait for you to get married."
That's the conversation to death.
After a long pause, Deng Xiaoxian found the topic of counterattack.
"Didn’t you say that you plan to remodel the facades of the time-honored brands of Huiziji? How are the preparations?" Deng Xiaoxian said that Zheng Qing compared the differences between the two markets after returning from Damingfang for the first time. , The rhetoric once established.
But over time, as he opened his own small shop, Zheng Qing has gradually realized that the decoration of the shop needs to match the temperament of the bazaar.
His previous plan was taken for granted.
"Don't worry, take your time." Facing Pan Lüer's question, Zheng Qing finally gave an ambiguous answer: "This kind of thing...always find an appropriate solution."
