Shangguan Dehui shook his head, "No need. I usually live alone at school. If I suddenly call home, it will only make them worry."
Ni Dahai nodded and asked, "Brother, how many children do you have?"
"One son and one daughter," Shangguan Dehui replied.
Ni Dahai said with envy, "Brother, you're really blessed. I only have a son. I wanted to have a daughter, but my wife disagreed, fearing we'd have another boy."
Shangguan Dehui laughed, "Actually, regardless of gender, having two children to keep each other company is always better than just one!"
"Brother, you're absolutely right!" Ni Dahai patted his thigh with vigor as if finding a kindred spirit. "By the way, Brother, you mentioned you live at school. Are you a teacher?"
"Yes," Shangguan Dehui nodded.
"What a cultured man, that's really good. I just didn't read enough in my life," Ni Dahai continued, "You mentioned you live alone at school, isn't your wife a teacher too?"
