By the time of supper, the atmosphere became more harmonious.

American passengers still did not compete with the Chinese, and Li Mu was not too good at doing it too much. After communicating with Old Man Chen, Yan Shun and others had stricter requirements when making the "burgers". Each bread can only be stuffed with two slices of beef, not only for Chinese people, but also for American passengers.

As a result, the originally chaotic dining time suddenly became orderly, and the order of dining changed, first the children, then the women, and finally the men.

Everyone likes such changes, especially Old Man Chen, who actually regards this change as a "teaching merit", which is really a bit shameless.

Just as Li Mu and his team were taking the train to the east, news of the young children arriving in the United States continued to ferment.

On September 12, young children arrived in San Francisco. On September 13, almost all newspapers in the United States reported this news. There is no fax machine these days, so only local newspapers in San Francisco have picture information. The photo of Li Mu embracing the sunshine with his arms open on the bow of the boat. This photo will be reproduced by all newspapers in the United States in the next few weeks.

In the September 13 report, the newspapers in Connecticut and Massachusetts are the most enthusiastic, because these two states are destinations for young children, and they will live and learn from them.

In the September 13 report, all newspapers in Connecticut and Massachusetts reported on the front page headlines that young children arrived in the United States in bold fonts. The contents of the article include basic information such as the names, genders, and ages of young children, which attracted the interest of almost everyone in Connecticut and Massachusetts.

Relatively speaking, people in New England have relatively high education levels, especially Connecticut and Massachusetts. These two states have the largest middle class in the United States and have the habit of subscribing to newspapers on weekdays, so the news that young children arrived in the United States has attracted everyone's attention.

The Qing government did take great pains to help young children get better education. Yung Wing, deputy supervisor of the Children's Foreign Studies Bureau, had already arrived in the United States in advance to determine the families of these children and look for language schools.

Finding a family to live in is not a problem. On the one hand, it is attributed to the fact that there are more middle-class families in Connecticut and Massachusetts, and on the other hand, it is also due to the subsidies provided by the Qing government.

The Qing government did not allow young children to live in American families without compensation. It was necessary to pay for the living expenses for these young children, which greatly attracted the attention of Connecticuts and Massachusetts.

How much money is not a problem. They are all middle-class families and don’t care much about this matter. The key is this qualification.

Yung Wing was quite "crawling" and openly claimed in the newspaper that only a real gentleman family could be qualified for selection, so this qualification became a rare commodity.

What? The Johnson family next door is qualified but ours is not?

Doesn’t that mean that our family is not gentle enough?

No, no, Johnson is a businessman, and the pets he keeps at home are full of copper smell. Only as an engineer is more qualified to be a selected person.

Starting from September 13, Yung Wing's office in Springfield was kicked out by middle-class people in Connecticut and Massachusetts. Many people were simply trying to steal the blame in order to have a "subsidy".

Within just two days, all thirty children were divided up, including Li Mu and Xiao Fatty, and everyone found a family to live in.

On September 15, Li Mu shot and killed Jesse James on a train. At noon that day, the news spread throughout the United States along with the telegram line. On the subsequent 16th, all the front page headlines of American newspapers were occupied by the names Li Mu and Jesse James.

The infamous Jesse James finally deserved it, and it was shot and killed by a Qing Empire child named Li Mu. This news that was like a "folk legend" instantly triggered all front-page headlines, and even Britain across the ocean reported the news.

The front page of The New York Times is: "The criminal has been sentenced, and a child has ended him."

The Washington Post titled: "Justice is maintained by a child, and our government should be ashamed of it!"

Of all the reports, the title of the Hartford Evening News in Connecticut’s capital is the most thrilling: “A guy who is more vicious than Jesse James is about to arrive, should we prepare flowers for him or a more beautiful pistol?”

More vicious than Jesse James

It sounds like this!

That night, Yung Wing's office welcomed a special guest.

"Rong, I have a big trouble and I have to come to you-" The guest was straight to the point as soon as he entered the door.

"Mr. Jones, there is no accurate news about this matter yet, so we need further verification. Please believe me, that child is definitely not a problem. Maybe it is not necessarily a mistake." Yung Wing also had a headache, so he tried his best to comfort Jones.

Jones is an architect in Springfield. Just the day before yesterday, Jones's family was just identified as Li Mu's foster family. The news that originally cheered the Jones family has now become a trouble for Jones. When it was confirmed that the Li Mu, who shot Jesse James in the newspaper, was to live in his home, Jones expressed deep concerns.

Jones has three children in his family. The oldest is already in high school. Both youngest are in junior high school. They are about the same age as Li Mu. Jones is very worried that such a very "aggressive" little guy who lives in his home will have a bad impact on his children, so Jones came to Yung Wing to discuss changing candidates.

"No, no, no, Rong, I have the exact news, and this will never be wrong. You may not know that Mr. Huntel of Kansas State Bank has arrived in Springfield. He will award the bounty to kill Jesse James to that little guy. If it weren't for the exact news, Mr. Huntel would never come. You should know that it was a lot of money." Jones insisted, with a little envious expression on his face.

It is indeed envious. This morning's newspaper listed the rewards of Jesse James in detail. There were 17 in total. Except for six, the rewards of six were relatively small, the other rewards were more than one thousand dollars. The largest was the rewards issued by Kansas Bank for Jesse James, which was 15,000 dollars.

As a famous Springfield architect, Jones's family's savings were not 15,000 US dollars, so when he calculated the total figures, Jones was really frightened.
