Nominal: Who isn't a son-in-law?

About ten minutes later, Qi Tongwei finished packing his luggage, wiped his sweat, picked up the tea that Chu Shijun had poured and drank it all in one gulp. He then poured himself a few more cups before finally catching his breath.

"It's already September, and it's still so hot. I have to wash these new clothes again." He shook his head helplessly as he looked at his sweat-soaked clothes.

"Who told you to tidy up now? It'll be cooler tonight. Take a shower after you're done, it'll be so nice." Chu Shijun rolled his eyes and replied.

"That's true," Qi Tongwei was taken aback at first, then realized what he meant and shook his head, "No, the bus was crowded, and I was already sweating. It's good to clean up now."

As he spoke, he glanced at the other two beds, noticed the clothes piled on them, and asked, "Where are Li Xiaoshan and Zhang Daqin?"

"He went out early this morning, saying he was going to read and study. He's a junior now, and if he doesn't improve his grades, he might get a bad job when it comes time to be assigned a position."

"You do know how to cram at the last minute," Qi Tongwei scoffed, starting to take off his clothes as he said, "Let me change, let's go eat, it's almost lunchtime."

"No rush, let's go get a free meal today." Chu Shijun smiled slightly. "I ran into Teacher Gao this morning. He said he'd be having lunch at his house. I told him to wait for you to come along. We can head over now."

"That's great. I haven't had Teacher Wu's cooking for over a month. I'll take this to Teacher Gao and the others as well." Qi Tongwei quickened his pace in packing.

At that time, Gao Yuliang was a professor and deputy director of the Department of Political Science and Law at Handong University, and his wife, Wu Huifen, was a lecturer in the Department of History.

Chu Shijun and his companion were both in the Department of Political Science and Law, and their class teacher was Gao Yuliang.

Because of their good academic performance, the two were favored by Gao Yuliang and regarded as his favorite students. During their two years of university, the two often went to his house for meals.

Gao Yuliang also helped arrange some of the part-time jobs that Qi Tongwei did to earn tuition fees.

As a university professor and deputy director of the Department of Political Science and Law, Gao Yuliang was provided with housing by the university. It was located behind the school, just across the road, and only about four or five hundred meters away from the main teaching buildings where students of the Department of Political Science and Law had their classes.

At this moment, on the third floor, Gao Yuliang was sitting on the sofa in his living room, wearing glasses and holding a book about the history of the Ming Dynasty, reading it with great interest.

From the adjacent partition, the sounds of stir-frying vegetables, mixed with the aroma of rice, could be heard wafting out.

"Yuliang, have you told Shijun yet? I only need two more dishes to finish cooking, why hasn't he arrived yet?"

Hearing Wu Huifen's words, Gao Yuliang frowned and said in a deep voice, "Look, what's the rush? I already said we'll do it later. It's not too late to do it when the others arrive."

As he spoke, Gao Yuliang folded the pages of the book, closed it, and put it aside. He got up and went to the balcony to look down. Just as he was about to ask his daughter Gao Fangfang to call for help, he caught sight of two people walking towards him around the corner in the distance, chatting and laughing.

Looking at what the two were carrying, he shook his head and chuckled, "Those two rascals!"

Then he turned around and called out to the kitchen that someone had arrived.

……

A few minutes later, Chu Shijun and Qi Tongwei arrived at the door and knocked.

As soon as the door opened, the two greeted each other with smiles, "Teacher Gao, Teacher Wu."

"Hmm." Gao Yuliang nodded lightly, looking rather aloof, but it wasn't hard to tell from his smiling eyes that he was also very happy.

When Wu Huifen saw what the two were carrying, she complained, "Why are you bringing things to eat at the teacher's house? Don't do this again next time."

As he spoke, he welcomed the two of them in.

"Hehe, Teacher Wu, I came here on an empty stomach and with bare hands. These are all things that Tongwei brought from home," Chu Shijun said with a smile.

"It's just some tea leaves picked at home, and some local products," Qi Tongwei added.

The group arrived at the dining table, but before they could sit down, they heard the door open. A girl of about twelve or thirteen years old came out, her eyes lighting up when she saw the two of them. She said sweetly, "Brother Shijun, Brother Tongwei, you're here!"

"Fangfang, it's already noon, are you still sleeping?" Chu Shijun teased.

"No, I was woken up early this morning to study," Gao Fangfang said, making a face at Gao Yuliang.

"Hahaha"

Upon hearing this, everyone laughed, and Gao Yuliang also smiled, but still gently scolded, "You're in the first year of junior high, and you'll be taking the high school entrance exam in two years. Don't you even realize it?"

"Hmph, I'm sure I'll get into Han University, and then I'll go to the Department of Political Science and Law, and into your class!" Gao Fangfang pouted.

Her grades were very good. After hearing this, Gao Yuliang didn't say anything more, but simply invited everyone to sit down.

……

At the dinner table, Chu Shijun and Qi Tongwei each held a large bowl, piled high with rice, and looked at Wu Huifen with worried expressions.

"Young men, eat more to grow strong," Wu Huifen said, serving food to the two of them.

The two exchanged a glance and could only try their best to eat. Fortunately, the dishes on the table tasted very good and were very appetizing. With the tea, they were able to finish their meal.

Since the two were frequent visitors, there weren't many formalities, and the meal was quickly finished amidst laughter and conversation.

While Wu Huifen was clearing away the dishes, Gao Yuliang got up, glanced at the two of them, and slowly walked towards the study. The two of them understood and followed behind.

Seeing this, Gao Fangfang wanted to join in the fun, but fortunately Wu Huifen quickly called out and led her reluctantly to the kitchen to help.

……

Upon entering the study, Gao Yuliang sat down, and the two of them familiarly pulled out a stool and sat down as well.

Gao Yuliang picked up the cigarette case, took out a cigarette, and handed the case to the two men, saying, "You can light your own cigarettes if you want, no need for me to tell you to leave, right?"

"No need, I've been waiting for your good cigarettes," Chu Shijun said, taking the cigarette and offering one to Qi Tongwei before leaning over to light it for Gao Yuliang.

"You young people should smoke less. You're so young and you've already become heavy smokers," Gao Yuliang said with a laugh, watching Chu Shijun's skillful technique.

"I rarely smoke myself, I only smoke here. I don't smoke secondhand," Chu Shijun replied. Qi Tongwei, who was standing next to him, nodded in deep agreement and then blew out a smoke ring.

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang shook his head and said softly, "It's good that you know what you're doing."

Then, changing the subject, she asked, "After the semester starts, you'll be juniors, and your classes will gradually decrease. By senior year, you'll be assigned jobs. What are your thoughts on that?"

The college graduates of this era are highly qualified, unlike in Chu Shijun's previous life when college graduates were as common as hairs on a cow.

Until 1991, there were only over 600,000 college graduates that year.

Therefore, college graduates are assigned jobs.

As a top university in China, and with both of them being outstanding students in the Department of Political Science and Law, their job assignments after graduation are sure to be excellent.

Of course, this is on the premise that there is no human intervention.
