Li Chuntao and Yang Xiaocui were both wrapped up in their own little thoughts, and before they knew it, it was time for the children to be dismissed from school.
As soon as school let out, Li Chuntao stood at the gateway of the school as usual, waiting to see the parents who came to pick up the children. She chatted with the kids as they left, and in no time, half of them had been picked up.
At that moment, Li Chuntao noticed the three little ones from the Yang Family were about to leave, but no one had arrived to pick them up. She said, "You three wait a bit. If no one comes to pick you up, I'll have someone take you home."
"Teacher, it's okay. We've gotten used to going to school by ourselves," the children replied. The term "teacher" was taught by Xiaoxiao; they should have said "先生," but as it was awkward for a female teacher, everyone was told to say "teacher."
"No, let's wait a bit longer," Li Chuntao said patiently.
