"Just a few days ago, when I was at the vegetable market helping my mom carry the basket, I ran into that teacher; she looked much older."
"Let's make time to visit those teachers from junior high, they don't live far from here anyway," Jiao Yuan suggested.
"Sure, let's include our high school teachers as well. We can probably only come back once or twice a year."

Jiao Yuan, Su An, and Lan Tianzhu couldn't stay at home until the Lantern Festival; they had left one after the other after the eleventh day, causing Jiao Ma to cry for several days. Jiao Ma wasn't the only one; Su An's and Lan Tianzhu's families reacted the same way.
