Teacher Xiao Zhang, who happened to be one of the four teachers who took Audrey and the other kids to the shopping center before, smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Carlisle."
"You're not going home for the holidays again?"
"Yeah. The round-trip transportation costs would be enough to pay for my brother's tuition for next year."
"You're such a sensible child."
Her home wasn't in the Imperial Capital, and her family wasn't wealthy. After graduating, she stayed in Imperial Capital and took a job. When kindergarten was in session, she could consider it her home. When the kindergarten closed for holidays, she had nowhere else to go, so she worked in orphanages and welfare institutions. They didn't have much income, but they provided her with food, drink, and shelter.
The security guard at the gate seemed to know her well and asked, "Are you planning to volunteer at the orphanage this holiday?"
