Chapter 0865: Two Worlds
Los Angeles, Thalia Women's College.
It is a professional women's college run by the church, and it has made great achievements in women's manners, social interaction, music, and theological arts.
This is also where Ariel went to school, which Xu Man chose for her.
According to her, this girl is wild with her, a little lawless, and angry.
So send her to a church school and let her be disciplined well.
That being said, Li Zitao specially donated a donation of 50,000 US dollars before.
I also asked someone to investigate this school, although the management is strict and there are many requirements.
However, corporal punishment is rare, and there is no history of disability or mental violence.
Church schools, especially boarding schools, were not friendly in this era.
Huaguo's future 'Correctional Academy' has now been perfected by Lao Mei's play.
However, with his donations and greetings, Ariel is doing well at school.
But it didn't seem to her that way.
Every day, you should get up on time, fold the quilt, dress, wash and not make noise.
I also had morning classes, read the Bible, and prayed.
Then there are various courses, and there will be penalties for not doing it right.
Punishment stands, copying the Bible, facing the wall and not even having dinner.
Little Ariel misses life in Vegas immensely, and everyone is so friendly to her.
Whatever she wants to eat, someone will bring it to her.
Right now...... Everything is ruined.
"Dad?" when she was called to the door by the nun and saw Li Zitao, her tone was full of astonishment.
It had been a long time since her father had come to see her, and it had been so long that Ariel had burst into tears when she saw him for the first time.
Holding his aggrieved daughter, Li Zitao comforted her distressedly, and said, "Is it too strict with her?" ’
For the children's education, Li Zitao does not interfere most of the time.
Because he thinks that several women are doing very well, and teaching them according to their aptitude is the best way.
However, seeing Ariel's grievances still made him very uncomfortable.
"When we go to eat, what do we want to eat?" Chinese people always inevitably eat this topic when they meet.
Besides, he also thinks in his heart that his daughter can't eat well here.
"Burger, I'm going to eat McDonald's, McDonald's, McDonald's......" Ariel turns on the repeater mode.
Holding their daughter along the way, the father and daughter talked about her life at school.
The more she said that Ariel was more and more aggrieved, Li Zitao was distressed and relieved at the same time.
Overall, she just can't accept the rules and discipline of the school.
They were not mistreated in their daily lives, such as food and housing.
And this meeting, judging from her standing, sitting, manners, and speech, has changed a lot from before.
"You can't be soft-hearted, bear children are terrible. Li Zitao said silently to himself.
In his understanding, there are two kinds of education for children.
One is to be grateful to you now and hate you in the future.
One is to hate you now and be grateful to you in the future.
He is willing to choose the second option, because the present is short and the future is long.
It is also because in his view, to bring a life into this world is to be responsible for her future.
"Ariel, what kind of person do you want to become, and what price do you have to pay...... Follow me. ”
Li Zitao led her out the door, through several alleys.
In the cracks of high-rise buildings, a dilapidated and dirty impoverished area appeared.
There were children rolling in puddles of water on the potholed road, wearing shabby pieces of cloth. ’
A man was leaning drunk in front of the broken bricks, confused and ignorant of the sun and moon.
There are women who use their chapped and boring hands to mend clothes or wash sundries to earn enough money to live.
"What do you see?" asked Li Zitao, squatting down.
"Poor. Ariel scratched her head, a little unbearable, "Why don't we help them, Dad." ”
"Because they choose to fall, look at him ......," Li Zitao pointed to a drunken man.
"His body used to be strong, but now alcohol has corrupted his body and spirit,
I have a sound body but I don't want to go to work, I would rather hide here and live like a cockroach. ”
After her daughter looked at the man and gradually lowered her head, Li Zitao took her away.
Neither of them spoke all the way.
The reappearance was already in front of a high-end office building, which was the Los Angeles branch of the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce.
"Boss. ”
"Nice owner. ”
Li Zitao has been in Los Angeles for a short time, and many of the employees here are interviewed by him personally, so he naturally knows him as a big boss.
However, everyone was very curious about the child he was holding in his hand, but no one stepped forward to ask without interest.
When he came to the public office area, Li Zitao didn't speak, but just took Ariel to sit next to him.
"Watch them and see what they're doing. Li Zitao said to his daughter.
Seeing the big boss sitting next to him, looking at himself without speaking, the employees mentioned 120,000 spirits, and their hearts were up and down.
But soon they forget about it, there have been so many things lately.
The impact of the war has affected companies involved in international business.
And the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce is the majority shareholder or wholly-owned parent company of many enterprises, so you can imagine how busy it is.
Telephones rang non-stop, and people walked at trot speed.
Eating is a sandwich or hamburger in your mouth, and the coffee in front of you is changed for cup after cup.
It wasn't until his throat was about to smoke and his shirt was wet with sweat that the busy day finally ended.
In fact, they would not have been so busy before the war.
But this is exactly what Li Zitao wants Ariel to see, and it is also the reason why he brought her.
At the end of the day's trip, Li Zitao was very satisfied, but Ariel seemed a little silent and tangled.
In a short day, she saw two very different worlds.
The time in the ghetto was short, but it left a deep impression on her.
"They don't have the ability to change their fate, everything you have, they are willing to exchange everything for, understand?"
Before parting, Li Zitao squatted down at the school gate and looked directly at his daughter, and said gently and seriously.
Ariel still didn't seem to understand, but nodded affirmatively.
There are too many esoteric things that she doesn't quite understand, but she knows very well what kind of life she wants.
Watching Ariel turn around step by step, she reluctantly walked into the school until she disappeared on the stairs.
Li Zitao returned to the car and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed like an easy day, but he felt more tired than usual.
It may be that he is too hypocritical, thinks too much, and doesn't say much, but he has pondered thousands or tens of thousands of words in his heart.
Tired!
"Luckily, there won't be so many family issues in school now, otherwise I would have gone crazy. ”
Enjoying Ava's massage, Li Zitao asked the driver to drive the car to the airport, and it was almost time to go home.
