Standing outside the Little Sun Kindergarten today was a new teacher I hadn't seen before.
Her name seemed to be Zhang Qianqian, a bit on the plump side, with a smattering of freckles on her face and looking to be just over twenty.
At that moment, she was wrapped in a thick coat, chatting casually with the parents who had come to drop off their children.
Compared to Dong Yuwei's pleasant and smiling demeanor, this new teacher seemed much more perfunctory.
Of course, this was no fault of hers, as standing guard at the kindergarten entrance early in the morning was inherently a tough job.
Although the average temperature in Chuan City was relatively high, for most of the year, it presented a gloomy, rainy aspect.
Adding to this was the high humidity, which made standing outside on the street in the morning even colder.
And then having to deal with the parents, who could never seem to be reassured, was an added hassle.
