Waking up from a nap, Zhou Li continued to look for a job.

Huai Xu is still watching the drama, and the watermelon has already been eaten. Zhou Li went out to bring him another plate.

By 5pm, he finally found a tutoring job.

It's tutoring a fifth grade boy in math for two hours a day, two days a week, at a rate of 40 yuan per hour. Yancheng is a small city, and Zhou Li thinks this salary is already very good. If he goes to distribute flyers, there will only be so much in a day from morning till night. He can consider doing two more tutoring jobs, or wait until summer vacation when there will be more tutoring needed.

At 5:30, he came to the living room.

Aunt Jiang's plan didn't work out, which made her feel a little tired. She specifically watched Wang Gang's tutorial last night and learned several new dishes. Judging from Zhou Li's attitude today, she probably hasn't been able to show it lately.

Ask your dad when he will be home

Oh

So Zhou Li sent a message to Lao Zhou.

Old Zhou did not reply.

Zhou Li and Aunt Jiang started eating first, and twenty minutes later received a reply from Old Zhou, asking them to eat first. He will arrive soon.

Zhou Li didn't reply either.

He felt that Aunt Jiang's skills had improved again.

After sitting for a while after dinner, Zhou Li looked at the time, picked up the key, and said to Aunt Jiang and Old Zhou, "I'm out

Are you going to play? "Aunt Jiang was very concerned." Is there enough money

Enough

You need to bring more

I found a tutoring job and went to take a look

Oh... "Aunt Jiang was very disappointed.

Home tutoring? "Old Zhou looked up, still smacking," How much does it cost per hour

「40。」

It's cheap now

That's right, it's a bit cheap, "Aunt Jiang interjected." Why don't you give your younger brother some tutoring and ask your dad to pay you, even if you ask for it

He doesn't need it

Zhou Li quickly changed his shoes, greeted the two of them, and left.

Huai Xu followed him and picked a place with few people to show off, saying to him, "I'm almost starving for your dinner today, and I really want to eat now

Come to my house as a guest next time

Really

Hmm. "Zhou Li looked at Huai Xu, who was overjoyed, and asked again," Is there anything you want to eat now

I don't know. I don't have any money

I'll buy it for you

I'm so sorry... "Huai Xu hesitated," I always ask you to help me pay the bill

Do you eat scallion pancakes

Zhou Li saw a small stall.

Huai Xu nodded subconsciously, and by the time he realized something was wrong, Zhou Li had already pulled out the money and walked over.

Immediately, he had an extra cake in his hand, still hot.

Huaixu took a very difficult bite and said, "I would really feel embarrassed if you did this

Zhou Li remained silent.

Quickly, he found the residence of his tutor.

This family has the surname Luo.

The child's father received him, wearing glasses and looking very polite. He even prepared cookies and drinks for him.

After getting to know each other, Mr. Luo said, "Xiao Zhou, let's talk about a few questions. Coincidentally, there are a few questions that our child doesn't know how to solve. Hey, I'm not afraid you'll laugh, I can't do them either. Then let's see if it's suitable and we'll make a decision

Zhou Li nodded.

He read the guide online in advance and learned how to interact with children as a private tutor. And now he is at the peak of his overall knowledge, and dealing with elementary school mathematics is mostly within reach. Parents usually only need to assess whether the tutor is good at expressing and guiding, and whether he can get along with the child.

Most parents do not have strict assessments and just go through the motions.

Zhou Li is good-looking and has innate advantages.

Only a few minutes later, Mr. Luo, who was standing at the door, left. After a while, he brought a plate of watermelon with toothpicks to Zhou Li and Xiao Luo.

Xiao Zhou, Luo Yuhang is a bit mischievous. Could you please put in more effort

Where, Xiaohang is so cute

Haha, he hasn't even skinned himself yet

It's good for children to be a little mischievous, but being too obedient can be bad. I think someone like Xiaohang is just right, and they must also be very popular with teachers in school. Zhou Li knows that appropriate affirmation is important for children and can also bring him closer to them. "Xiaohang, don't you think so

There's nothing

The child smiled shyly.

Dad Luo has a bright smile on his face.

Two hours later, Zhou Li said goodbye to the two of them. He didn't know how Luo's father evaluated him, but he estimated that his impression of Xiao Hang was good.

So tired

Zhou Li sighed while standing in the elevator.

Xiaohang may be a bit of a bear, but at his age, children have almost passed the stage of fearlessness, with most of them lying flat in their nests. Xiaohang is very restrained in front of Zhou Li, and even a little afraid of him. What makes Zhou Li feel tired is the process of managing his image in others' minds.

Walking to the entrance of the community, I saw a girl with a very beautiful back squatting on the roadside, her fingers scribbling on the ground.

How did you become a girl again? "Zhou Li walked over and asked.

You're out, how's it going? Is being a teacher fun? "Huai Xu not only ignored Zhou Li's question, but also didn't mean to wait for Zhou Li to answer after throwing it himself." I just went to ask some of the nearest demons, and most of them said they saw the Celestial Master last time in the previous era. Only one said they saw a very powerful person a few days ago, but they don't know where he is

Did the previous era refer to before falling asleep

Hmm

Did you encounter any danger when asking these questions

No! There are only small and medium-sized demons in this city, and big demons won't come to the city without any problems. Moreover, most demons are easy to talk to, and a few refuse to talk to me. I have convinced them with reason. I just suspect that they may use fake news to deceive me so that they can escape

... that's right

Zhou Li walked slowly back.

He really wanted to meet someone like the Celestial Master or Mage mentioned by Huai Xu, not for any other reason.

Let him know that he is not alone.

Huai Xu followed him and kept saying, "That demon said the person he saw last time was a girl, very beautiful and not very old. Do you think he's talking about you? Other than that idiot San Zheng, have any other demons noticed that you can see demons, or have you unintentionally shown your spiritual power or anything

I am a man

Oh, I'm sorry

「……」

Walking back to his own community, Zhou Li saw Lao Hui and Xiao Yuan sitting side by side on the lid of the trash can, with a dim streetlight overhead. They stared in the direction of the peach tree, lost in thought.

Zhou Li felt something was wrong and followed their gaze.

The street lamps cast mottled shadows on the trees from top to bottom, and the shadows and light spots on the ground were intertwined and complex. Immature green fruits fell all over the ground.

Zhou Li was stunned.

Which child must have done it again

Lao Hui and Xiao Yuan turned their heads to look at him without saying a word.

So Zhou Li walked over and said, "The peaches are almost going to be on the market. I'll buy some for you then

Lao Hui nodded and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary. Actually, we don't lack food

Xiaoyuan let out a long sigh.

Immediately, Lao Hui glanced at Huai Xu behind Zhou Li and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Did you know that a big demon woke up in the south a few days ago

I know, I even went to see it

I heard that he was picked up by other adults a few days after he woke up, and no one came to find you

No way

It's strange, "said Lao Hui.

Do I also have to learn from those two goods and release my breath freely so that others will know I'm awake? "Huai Xu blinked her eyes and asked.

We're just little monsters, I'm not sure. You can go back and try it out

Okay

Zhou Li and Huai Xu went upstairs.

Lao Hui and Xiao Yuan continued to sit and cool off, passing the summer nights. After a while, Xiaoyuan jumped down and picked up a fruit, wiped it on his body, and stuffed it into his mouth. With one bite, his facial features wrinkled.

It's so bitter

He turned his head to look at Lao Hui and said.

……

At this point, Zhu Shuang had already arrived home. As soon as he saw Zhou Li enter the door, he turned around and stared at him with a bitter expression.

Brother, you have caused me a lot of trouble

Oh, I'm sorry, I accidentally slipped my tongue. "Zhou Li's expression was very calm." Why don't I go explain to Aunt Jiang

No need, no need, it's okay! "Zhu Shuang was a little angel, afraid that his brother would fall into self blame." I've already made it clear to my mom, anyway, Xiaomeng and I are just good friends

Really? Don't try to comfort me

Hmm! Really

Then I'll feel much better
