Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 185 The Gap Between Ideal and Reality II

The departure of the two shocked the entire school and even the town government and the police station.

On the second day, the principal of Meguro and the teachers took the students to visit the whole village, that is, an elementary school with less than ten children and a meat processing factory with seven or eight people.

Except for one kilometer, it is surrounded by endless forests.

Then Wang Weidong and the others were taken back to the school and a 24-hour supervision system was announced, and they had to ask for instructions when they left the school.

Wang Weidong started his life of learning hiragana and katakana.

"Aunt Ada—" Wang Weidong called out to Cangshan.

There are very few students who study hard like Wang Weidong, and those other than him are here to make money.

The students asked several times to work and earn money while studying, but this request was rejected by the school because the Immigration Bureau stipulated that they could not work within three months after entering the country.

Besides, everyone has seen the situation near the school. There is no way to work in a sparsely populated place like Akan Town.

Everyone is holding a one-year or two-year visa, and time is money. If you stay here for one more day, you will earn less money for one day, which is simply unaffordable.

The sole purpose of so many people coming to this country is to make money, make money, make money!They are not here to learn.

In the middle of the night, a dozen or so students quietly packed their luggage and left the school together. They walked into the forest with sticks in their hands.

The reason why they don't walk the kilometers is that they are afraid of being spotted by cars on the road and reporting to the school or the police, so that they have to go back to school.

They held wooden sticks in their hands because there were warning signs for bears on the edge of the forest. In order to deal with bears and wolves in the forest, they held wooden sticks tightly.

Wang Weidong and the other students who stayed behind sent those who fled late at night and returned to the dormitory to continue sleeping. Now he and the classmate named Zheng Li were left in the whole room, and the other four people had left.

The departure of more than a dozen people shook the school and the entire Akan town.

The supervision of the school became stricter. At the same time, the principal Meguro and the teacher came to condolences to the students who were still in the school. The mayor and the superintendent of Akan Town also came to condolences to the remaining students. People also went to the school to express condolences to Wang Weidong and the others.

Akan Town is equivalent to a town in China, and the people here very much hope to keep this school that brings vitality to Akan Town.

The more than 50 students who came here are very honest. They told the principal and teachers of Meguro about their difficulties shortly after arriving at the school, and hoped that the school would understand and allow them to go out to work and earn money.

But these people do not include Wang Weidong, he seems very different.

"Student Wang Weidong, don't you really want to go out and make money?" Principal Meguro asked.

"No, I just came here to study. Principal Meguro, frankly speaking, I knew when these students left. If I wanted to leave, I would have left already." Wang Weidong replied.

Principal Meguro sat next to Wang Weidong and said: "From your passport, you are from Northeast China. In fact, I have lived there for more than ten years. In [-], I was arrested by a couple from Shandong to Northeast China. Adoption, without them I would have died long ago, so I have a lot of affection for my Chinese parents and Northeast China. I hope you can study here with peace of mind, and go out to develop after learning the language well!"

The normal procedure is that students from China apply for admission to various universities after language learning, and if accepted by the university, they will continue to obtain visa qualifications to stay here to study at the university.

According to Wang Weidong's observation, among the more than 50 students from China, there are only five or six who want to study in universities.

Sure enough, after half a year, there were only seven students left in the school, including Wang Weidong, and even the chef from Fujian province that the school specially invited to cook for the students left.

Wang Weidong immediately volunteered to take on the honorable task of cooking for the rest.

In the evening, when the seven of them were sitting together making dumplings, Xie Yifang asked Wang Weidong: "Weidong, you really don't want to go out and make money. I heard that they can make hundreds of dollars a day!"

These hundreds of dollars are the hundreds of dollars after the yen is converted into RMB. If people in China know that you can earn hundreds of dollars a day here, they will not be envious!
Of course, this is the result of the hard work of those who come here to work two or three jobs a day.

"No, I want to learn Japanese well now!" Wang Weidong said seriously.

Several other people looked at Wang Weidong suspiciously.

We have been together for a few months and have already understood each other's family situation. Xie Yifang's grandfather was a well-known entrepreneur in Shanghai back then, and his family was very rich. Xie Yifang had two uncles who were overseas capitalists, so she really came here Ready for college here.

Although the others are not as rich as Xie Yifang, they are all educated and have some family background, so they have a long-term vision. Making money is important, but learning is more important.

If you want to make money, the big deal is to earn more after graduating from university here, and earn more, and have a better job.

It's not that the people who left didn't understand this truth, but their family's economic strength couldn't support this goal, and many people's education level couldn't go to college. If this is the case, just work hard and make money.

But what about Wang Weidong?I heard from him that his parents are old workers with retirement wages, the family situation is very average, and his own education level is not high. These conditions are no different from those who left. Why does he stay here to learn Japanese with peace of mind?
Wang Weidong went back to the dormitory alone. It is March, and Hokkaido is still very cold, especially at night.

He watched the blah blah TV program for a while, and then dug out the letters from home that he had read several times.

His father, Wang Haifu, said in the letter that Ou Xiaoyang had been calling home for the past few months to ask if he was back and how he was doing in Japan.

People from foreign economic and trade also went to his home to look for him once, but found that he was really not at home and had to leave.

The store opened by the family on Minsheng Road belongs to the flax factory. The rent is due for three years this year. People from the flax factory have already visited the house and asked if they want to renew the lease. Wang Haifu told Wang Weidong in the letter that the four old people decided to continue to operate the shop. Otherwise, you will be bored, and it is better to exercise your body and earn some money.

The language school has spring break in late March, and the closing time is in mid-April.

Wang Weidong plans to go out for a stroll during this time.

He approached Principal Meguro and said, "Principal, I plan to find something to do outside during the vacation. Can you give me some advice?"

"What are your specific plans?" Principal Meguro asked.

"I don't want to go too far. I can go to Kushiro City, tens of kilometers away, and I want to work at the Suisan Co., Ltd." Wang Weidong replied.

Kushiro City is a small city, but it is a very important fishing port, and the fish and seafood landed account for more than one-tenth of the country's total.

After arriving at Asuka School in Akan Town, Wang Weidong has been performing well and studying with peace of mind. Principal Meguro is very relieved of him.

"Okay, I'll help you get in touch." Principal Meguro said.
