By the end of August, the campus was bustling with activity. Parents were here dropping off their kids. They were waving goodbye with huge smiles, then turning to go to the train station the next moment weeping uncontrollably.
Papa Jiao said a lot of parents didn't accompany their kids to school because they couldn't bear to say goodbye, though most cried anyway when their kid boarded the train back home.
Zheng Tan couldn't quite relate. He had never experienced this.
He went to university accompanied by friends. The school was not very far from his home and he was not close to his parents. He had never been a father, so he didn't quite know what it felt like so say goodbye to your child.
What a weird emotion.
Here at the Jiao family, Jiao Yuan was starting middle school. Mama Jiao took him along with some other kids and their parents to her school. They didn't need to check the classroom list. Mama Jiao told them ahead of time.
