He Tiantian packed up her things, ready to head home from work.
Just then, the classroom representative, Zhang Mengmeng, brought in the homework assignments and said, "Teacher He, here are the homework books."
"Thank you," He Tiantian smiled and looked at the girl in simple clothing, somewhat thinly dressed, "Aren't you cold?"
Zhang Mengmeng shook her head and replied, "Not cold, Teacher He. After school, I read books inside my warm blanket in the dormitory."
"Mhm, take care of yourself," He Tiantian said. "If you have any difficulties, you can talk to me."
"Okay, Teacher He," Zhang Mengmeng said with a beaming smile, "If there's nothing else, I'll head out first."
"Goodbye." He Tiantian smiled. She knew Zhang Mengmeng's family was not well-off. She wanted to help, but she was also afraid of hurting Zhang Mengmeng's pride.
He Tiantian put on her coat, hat, and scarf.
Outside the building, the wind howled!
