The sunlight shone on the four large characters "Yangping Primary School," their golden letters glimmering in the morning light.
Cars were parked everywhere near the school gate, including sedans from the county, minivans from the town, and the villagers' three-wheeled motorcycles and electric vehicles. People walked toward the campus in small groups, with expressions of curiosity and anticipation on their faces.
Teacher Wang stood at the school gate, welcoming each guest. She had taught at the village's primary school for over thirty years, witnessing its transformation from a few dilapidated flat houses to what it was now.
"Teacher Wang, you look so spirited today!" a parent said with a smile.
Teacher Wang looked down at her attire, a dark blue suit she had bought especially for the day. She smiled and said, "A new school calls for a new look; one must dress formally."
