On Monday, Li Du drove to the Fountain Valley Church School. There were hundreds of children in the school bus waiting to go, including Victoria and Elena.
The school principal, Kane, shook hands with him and said warmly, "Hello, Mr. Li. I've heard a lot about you. We'll leave this activity to you. If you need our support, please don't hesitate."
Li Du smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't hesitate. However, I don't need much help from you. The main thing is to keep order. I'm not very good at dealing with children."
He paused and waved in the direction of the school bus. "Hi, little angels, good morning."
"Good morning, Uncle." A group of children poked their heads out of the window of the school bus and laughed, like a group of birds looking for food.
Principal Kane hurriedly instructed the teachers behind him, "Take care of the children's personal safety. Let them go back to the bus and don't poke their heads out of the window."
American schools were also very formal. The school was very polite to him as a special guest. After the principal received him, he said a few polite words and took him around the campus to introduce the school to him.
Li Du was a little embarrassed to hear the invitation. He pointed to the school road outside and said, "The children are ready. Can we go now?"
Principal Kane smiled and said, "It's okay. Let them wait in the bus for a while."
Li Du was speechless.
He didn't take the children seriously at all!
However, in the spring season, staying in the bus was neither hot nor cold, so the children would not feel uncomfortable.
When Li Du entered the campus, he saw a group of children poking their heads out of the window of a classroom, looking at the school bus in front of the school gate. They looked very pitiful.
Seeing these children, he asked, "Hey, what's wrong with these children? Don't they participate in activities? "
Principal Kane sighed softly and said, "These children have some psychological problems. They usually don't participate in extracurricular activities and stay on campus to receive instruction."
Fountain Valley Church School had a long history. It had such a long history because it was originally a nursery for children with psychological problems.
A century and a half ago, the problem of child psychology had not yet been discovered. Children with psychological problems were often regarded as being possessed by demons or tempted by evil spirits. They were sent to the church to be dealt with.
The pastors and godfathers who were truly devoted to theology and God were good people with a sense of responsibility. They thought of ways to watch over these children. They were the first batch of teachers at the Fountain Valley Church School.
Children's education was more important than psychological education. The clergy of the Fountain Valley Church were the first batch of researchers, so they performed well in the education of young children.
Later on, with the gradual development of psychology, the Fountain Valley Church changed. The Fountain Valley Church School became one of the best elementary schools in Los Angeles.
The school did not forget its roots. Even after it became famous, it still adhered to its original philosophy, which was to recruit children with mental illnesses and change them through appropriate education.
However, because of the capital control, the main body of education in the school had slowly shifted to normal children. After all, this was a good school, and the rich were more willing to send their children here to receive education.
Gradually, the number of problem children accepted by the Fountain Valley Church School began to decrease, and the psychological problems of the children were also relatively mild. Children with serious psychological problems were often rejected.
Elena had a psychological problem, which was also the reason why she was chosen to be sent to this school. However, her condition was relatively mild, and she was quickly controlled and transferred to a normal class.
Looking at the children who were looking out of the window, Li Du felt a little sad. He asked Kane, "Principal, are their psychological problems very serious? I think participating in outdoor activities might be helpful for their recovery. "
Kane said, "According to the evaluation of our professional teachers, they are not aggressive towards society or their peers. They are just a little autistic or irritable. However, you are the person in charge of the activities. According to national regulations, these children need your approval to participate in the activities. "
Looking at the principal's smile, Li Du suddenly understood. No wonder the principal had brought him to visit the school. In fact, it was to let him see these children.
He said, "I think it's okay to bring them along. I also brought a few pets. They are very obedient, and I believe they can get along well with the children and help with their recovery."
Both parties had discussed this point. Because of Ah Meow and the rest's celebrity status, the school was very familiar with them. Children liked cute furry animals, and in children's rehabilitation courses, it was also important to interact with some friendly animals.
Previously, when Kane and Li Du had contacted each other, he had mentioned Ah Meow and the rest in a roundabout way, hoping that Li Du would bring them here.
Li Du guessed that the focus of this activity might not be the storage auction, but it might be to let the children interact with these cute celebrity pets.
There were not many students in the abnormal psychology class, about a dozen of them, and they rode alone in a modified school bus.
Li Du sent Ah Bai and Crispy Noodles, who were the most mild-tempered, onto the bus. Seeing them appear, the dozen or so children immediately stared at them.
Ah Meow was stuffed into Victoria's bus. As soon as it got on the bus and saw so many children, it instinctively felt that something was wrong. It turned its head and was about to run out.
Victoria was quick to react. She stretched out her hand and held it down, shouting, "Hey, Ah Meow, I'm here. Where are you going?"
She held onto Ah Meow and showed him around. "This is Ah Meow, he's my good friend. If it's cold, I'll hold him at home. He's my heater."
"Let me touch him. I like Ah Meow, I'm his fan."
"Let me see, let me see. This ocelot is so beautiful, I like him so much."
"Let's take a picture together, I want to show my parents …"
Ah Meow: "Meow!"
A group of children crowded around him. Like zombies seeing a human, Ah Meow's figure was drowned in a pile of hands and feet.
Li Du drove in front to lead the way. A few small cars and three large school buses drove majestically towards the downtown area of Los Angeles. There was a small storage company that was holding an auction that day.
He had contacted the storage company. The storage company had prepared snacks and fruits for the children. The owner also had children. He also wanted to build a good relationship with Fountain Valley Church School, so he welcomed the event.
The other treasure hunters did not know about such an event. They waited at the entrance in groups of twos and threes. In the end, when the auction was about to start, the school bus arrived. Groups of children got off the bus and ran over.
Seeing this scene, the treasure hunters were stunned. "What's going on?"
After the children got off the bus, the teacher gathered them into a square formation. Li Du held a loudspeaker and began to host the auction. "This auction will be conducted in small groups. Everyone, follow the group leader and line up. Next, I will introduce the process …"
