Hogwarts Crawler

"Sister Fang was your mother's best friend back then."

Li Chunyi led Adam forward:

"You can trust her... Strictly speaking, it's not something to hide, just don't tell the ancestors and grandpa."

Ms. Li's grandfather didn't have any objections to her marriage with Mr. Reed at first, but after the ancestors expressed their opposition, he stood on the side of the ancestors.

Walking all the way to the ancestral hall in the old house of the Li family, Adam found that Li Chunyi was not familiar with every member of the Li family.

"We rarely stay here on weekdays..."

Li Chunyi paused before continuing:

"Because of the ancestors, the Li family is not very popular in the wizarding world of Hong Kong Island."

For the Li family, they are full of patriotism, but for the people of the Chinese Ministry of Magic, the Li family inevitably seems to be in Cao's camp but their hearts are in Han.

Arriving at the ancestral hall, Adam met Ms. Li's other two brothers and their families, and also met Ms. Li's grandfather, who was Adam's own great-grandfather, and Adam's grandparents were also there.

Except for the old ancestor, it can be said that all the people from Adam's grandpa's lineage were present from top to bottom.

"The old ancestor is entertaining people from the Ministry of Magic. I don't know what they are talking about."

Grandpa Li Ziquan took Adam to pay respect to the ancestors, and grandma Shen Derong took his hand and said:

"So the matter of entering the family tree will have to wait until tomorrow. It just so happens that you are tired along the way, so take a rest for a night."

"No hurry."

Adam nodded and looked at the other people in the ancestral hall.

His uncles all looked at him with a very friendly look, and they looked at him with a bit of excitement and scrutiny, as if they wanted to see some shadows of Ms. Li on his face, while their family members looked at Adam with more curiosity.

Adam's great grandfather didn't say a word the whole time, and only spoke after he heard him speak:

"You speak Chinese well."

At this time, even in Hong Kong Island, a large number of people spoke English all the time. Adam, a child who grew up abroad, actually had no accent in Chinese. It seems that Ms. Li has never forgotten her roots.

"I learned it since elementary school."

Adam didn't know how to treat this great grandfather whose hairstyle and beard looked like Mr. Lu Xun, so he had to keep a certain distance.

Nodding to Adam, the great grandfather asked Adam's grandfather a few questions, probably where Adam lived and where he ate, and left after hearing that everything was arranged.

After the great grandfather left, the ancestral hall sounded with a sigh of relief.

A group of people were stunned when they heard such a uniform voice, and they couldn't help laughing after looking at each other.

Even Adam's grandfather's eyes showed some relief. It was obvious that the presence of his great grandfather was a very stressful thing for him:

"Don't stand in the ancestral hall. Let's go. It's almost time for evening tea. Let's talk while eating."

Adam's grandfather spoke, and everyone obeyed.

When they arrived at the restaurant, it was a private room that had been booked long ago. Ms. Li was already waiting there. Aunt Fang, who I had met before, was also there. The two looked very happy chatting.

Seeing Adam and his group coming, Aunt Fang picked up her bag and left. Adam's grandfather wanted to keep her to eat, but Aunt Fang said she had to send her son to make up lessons...

Adam was shocked. Is Hong Kong so competitive so early?

But think about it, the cousin is said to have a lower blood pressure than Aunt Fang in three subjects combined... If Aunt Fang didn't have high blood pressure, then his average score in each subject would be only 30 or 40, and he really needs to make up for it.

But...

"Are there any make-up classes for magic here?"

"Not magic school classes, but ordinary primary school classes. Awen is not old enough to go to magic school yet."

Ms. Li and her friends were reminiscing about the past. Sitting in the corner were children from several families. The one who was talking was Li Quye, the son of Adam's third uncle. He was three years older than Adam, and Adam had to call him cousin.

And Awen was naturally Aunt Fang's son, the child who was chased and beaten by a flying feather duster before.

Adam was stunned when he heard it:

"You... still want to go to ordinary schools?"

In Adam's cognition, only wizards of Muggle origin would go to other schools before entering school. Whether other little wizards had preschool education depended on their parents.

Some had never learned anything before coming to Hogwarts like Cologne, and some had already learned the Fiendish Fire Curse like Uther.

"Yes! You have to continue learning after you go to magic school! It's hard to find a job if you only learn magic! There are so many people in Hong Kong Island, but so few jobs. If you only know magic and don't learn anything else, are you going to be called Fenghua to move bricks?"

Li Cuoye looked helpless:

"Now even stores have academic requirements for recruiting people, and the Ministry of Magic requires a bachelor's degree for formal recruitment. In addition to learning magic, other subjects cannot lag behind."

"Hiss - that's terrible."

Adam shook his head and followedThen his eyes lit up and he looked at his cousin:

"Are you willing to go abroad in the future? Or why don't you come to work for me?"

"Wow, forget it. We can't cook and our English is not good. If we go there, I'm afraid we can only help my aunt serve dishes, which will embarrass my aunt in front of my uncle~"

The speaker is Li Cuoda, the son of my second uncle, who is one year younger than Adam.

The other party looks very sincere. Adam can't tell whether this sentence is sincere or sarcastic, but he doesn't mention it anymore. He just said it casually on a whim.

"Are you working in my aunt's restaurant? Or do other jobs? Work in the wizarding world or...?"

Li Cuoye listened to it - he is no longer a child, graduation is just around the corner, and the Li family is not easy to mix in the wizarding world of Hong Kong Island, so it is even more difficult to find a job.

His second uncle and fourth uncle went to the mainland and the United States respectively, leaving only his father to stay in Hong Kong Island. Li Cuoda may not be interested in working in the UK, but for him, this is a great opportunity to not have to stay in Hong Kong Island and suffer.

He doesn't want to go to the UK to be a parasite and wait for death. Seeing that his father and eldest aunt have such a good relationship, it should be no problem to help him find a regular job, right?

Adam looked at Li Cuoye in surprise, and then said:

"I plan to open a few stores in the wizarding world after graduation..."

"..."

Li Cuoye was silent for a while before speaking:

"You? How many stores?"

For a moment, he didn't know which of the two keywords would hurt him more.

"Oh? Is Adam planning to open my eldest sister's restaurant in the wizarding world of Britain?"

The people chatting over there heard their conversation. The second uncle turned his head and looked at Adam in surprise, then looked at Ms. Li:

"Sister, Adam not only inherited your talent for cultivation, but also your talent for business. He has a bright future!"

"Not only that, he even inherited your talent for cooking, and he is even better than you."

Ms. Li sighed:

"Now he is the chef for all the banquets in their school. He didn't spend any money last year, but earned a lot of money. He also attracted a lot of wizard customers to my and Jerry's store."

Li Chunyi's eyes widened, and he turned back to look at Adam.

What he said just now... Actually, it was more of a blessing. After all, Adam is only a few years old now, how can you tell whether he has a talent for business? Just praise him first.

Li Cuoye and Li Cuoda: ...

Did they suddenly hear hallucinations just now? What does it mean that the cousin is the chef for the school banquet?
