After the two told each other about the dormitory building, they went to the elevator door and waited for the elevator. While they were waiting, more and more people arrived and waited for the elevator with them.
The people who arrived were all colleagues who lived in the same dormitory building as Yin Changshou. They greeted each other, and soon the elevator arrived. The two of them entered the elevator with the rest of the group. Among this group, Yin Changshou lived on the 16th floor, the highest floor. As the elevator ascended, people got off one after another, until finally only the two of them remained.
After the elevator doors opened, before the two could even step out, they saw a middle-aged man of similar age to Yin Changshou standing there. When the middle-aged man saw the elevator doors open and the indicator light showed downwards, he stepped forward to enter. He looked up and saw Yin Changshou and his apprentice, and greeted Yin Changshou with a smile.
"Old Yin, you've brought your son-in-law home for dinner again."
Yin Changshou responded to the man's teasing with an annoyance.
"Not son-in-law, but apprentice."
"You're just being stubborn, acting like nobody knows anything. Fine, I'm not talking to you anymore, I have to go."
After saying this, the man entered the elevator and went down, leaving Yin Changshou furious. Liu Xiangjun quickly tried to appease him, and after calming Yin Changshou down, the two of them walked towards Yin Changshou's house.
Because as soon as you exit the elevator, you're in a corridor, and you can see two doorways facing each other. The doorways are large double doors, and they're even double-layered; the outer layer is a stainless steel security door, and the inner layer is a natural wood door.
You know, there was quite a bit of arguing about whether or not to install a security door. Some people said that since there's no danger at school, there's no need for a security door; a wooden door would be fine, and that would save a lot of money.
In the end, it was the principal who lobbied the dissenting crowd. As for the consequences of that persuasion? Just look at this door. Others may not know what the principal actually said, but Liu Xiangjun had heard it from Yin Changshou. The principal's statement was...
"Although we can be sure that it is safe at school and that all teachers are safe, you never know when something might happen. We can also use this as leverage to recruit those high-end teachers. Of course, we can disregard these things, but what about our families? Which capable person wouldn't want their family to live a better life?"
The master and apprentice strolled through the corridor and arrived at the door. Upon reaching the door, Liu Xiangjun, seeing Yin Changshou's prolonged hesitation in taking out his keys, immediately understood the situation and spoke to Yin Changshou.
"Teacher, did you forget your keys again?"
When the old man heard Liu Xiangjun's question, a hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, but he still gave a haughty snort.
"It doesn't matter whether I have my keys or not. I have a wife anyway, so I can just ring the doorbell."
Then Liu Xiangjun saw his teacher, who was also his future father-in-law, ring the doorbell with a smug look on his face. Liu Xiangjun thought to himself, "It's like you're the only one who has a wife. I'll be getting one soon too."
Soon after the doorbell rang, Liu Xiangjun and Yin Changshou saw the wooden door inside the security door open on one side. A pretty girl with a baby face and a face full of collagen poked her head out from the half-door. When she saw the two of them, she immediately smiled and her dimples appeared.
"Dad, did you forget your keys again?"
As he spoke, he opened the security door from the inside. Yin Changshou and Liu Xiangjun went inside. After entering the house, they both changed their shoes in the entryway. While changing their shoes, Liu Xiangjun and the girl, Yin Changshou's daughter Yin Jiao, looked at each other and their faces turned slightly red. Yin Changshou saw this, snorted, and pulled his daughter ahead. Seeing this, Liu Xiangjun touched his nose, turned around, closed the door, and went inside as well.
Upon entering the house, one could see that the dining table in the living room was already set with food. At that moment, a person came out of the kitchen. It was Yin Changshou's wife, Ouyang Lan. She was carrying a plate of food and placing it on the living room table. She also saw Yin Changshou and his daughter entering, as well as Liu Xiangjun following behind them, and greeted Liu Xiangjun.
"Junzi, you're here! Today we have your favorite braised pork. Make sure you eat plenty."
"My master's wife's braised pork smells so good. I could smell it as soon as I opened the box. I'm sure I'll have to eat a few more bowls of rice."
As Liu Xiangjun talked to his teacher's wife, he walked towards the kitchen. He had been here countless times. When he first started studying with the professor, he was a little reserved because he wasn't familiar with the place. But once he got to know her, he didn't have to be so polite anymore. After he and Yin Jiao hit it off and became boyfriend and girlfriend, he would always help out whenever he came here. The reason why Professor Yin and her husband didn't object to their relationship was because of his excellent cooking skills. So this time was no different. As soon as Liu Xiangjun arrived, he went straight into the kitchen to see if there was anything he needed to do.
Upon entering the kitchen, Liu Xiangjun saw that it had already been cleaned up. There were only two plates of cold dishes on the counter, and nothing else. Looking around, he noticed that only the light on the rice cooker was on, and it was set to keep warm. He went over and opened the rice cooker, finding it full of rice. He then unplugged it, took out the inner pot, and placed it directly on the dining table.
After Liu Xiangjun brought out the food, he didn't sit down immediately. Seeing that the bowls and chopsticks were already set on the table, he picked up a bowl and started serving himself rice. As for Yin Changshou and his daughter, they had already washed their hands and were sitting at the table. They had originally planned to go into the kitchen to help their wives and mothers, but they only sat down after seeing Liu Xiangjun go in before them. So when Ouyang Lan came out of the kitchen, she saw the father and daughter sitting there quite comfortably. Of course, "comfortable" referred to Yin Changshou; it seemed that her daughter had been forced to sit there by her father. Seeing this, Ouyang Lan said to Yin Changshou...
