At this moment, Principal Luo was collecting tuition fees in the classroom. Many students came to register with flushed faces and heads hanging low, clearly indicating that they were going to delay paying their tuition fees. Some even owed fees from the previous semester and might not have paid last semester's tuition fees when the new semester started!
Principal Luo was quite easy-going. Whenever the higher-ups came to urge the collection of tuition fees, he would speak on behalf of these students. Sometimes when the delay was untenable, he would even pay for the particularly impoverished students himself. Over the years, he had lost count of how much tuition fees he had paid for the students. Some students even came back to repay him years after graduating from elementary school, long after he could remember.
