Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 186 A Hardworking Young Man

Four days later, Wang Weidong appeared in a fish processing factory of the Matsumae Sakura Fisheries Association in Kushiro City.

Wang Weidong's job is as simple as standing next to a spinning knife and cutting off the head of the cod.

The head of the cod is the first to deteriorate. If the head of the cod is cut off, the preservation time of the cod can be extended.

What he does is the first processing process. The people behind the production line process the internal organs and fish tails, then cut or slice them into boxes and pack them.

The temperature in the workshop is very low. Wang Weidong can take a break after working for two hours and then work for another two hours. After eating at noon, he can work for another four hours in the afternoon.The total labor time is actually more than nine hours.

There are more than 100 people in the aquatic product processing factory, and there is only Wang Weidong, a work-study student from China. Those who run away go to places like Tokyo, Osaka, and Yokohama where the wages are higher and it is easier to find a job.

And there are many people in those places, even if there is a problem with the visa, it is easier to hide.

After a few days, everyone saw that this young man from China did not do badly at all.Standing in a fixed place and working for eight hours a day is easy to say, but it is actually very tiring.

Yoshishi Sato, the president of the aquatic product factory, knew that a young man from China came to the factory to observe Wang Weidong's work.

During Wang Weidong's break, Sato Yoshizane came over to greet Wang Weidong.

"Seeing you working reminds me of when I was young in the 50s, and now young people in our country can't endure hardship!" Sato Yoshizawa said with emotion.

"The current job is nothing. I used to work harder in the countryside than here." Wang Weidong said.

"Rural areas? Young people here are all running to big cities. They all want to sit in the office and don't want to stay in the countryside to farm. They don't want to do the hard work here. Have you noticed that the whole workshop You are the youngest," Sato Yoshinori said.

"President Sato, are the cod we process caught by Japanese fishing boats?" Wang Weidong asked.

"Of course, because Hokkaido's fishery resources are getting less and less, the catch is getting less and less, and the price of cod is getting higher and higher. Maybe one day we will have no fish to catch." Sato Yoshinori said with a sigh.

"I have to go back to study Japanese after working here for half a month. I still want to work here during the summer and autumn vacations, and I also want to work here for a while when I finish my studies a year later." Wang Weidong said.

"You are always welcome, young man!" Sato Yoshinori replied.

Wang Weidong worked in a fishery factory for half a month and earned 4000 yen, equivalent to a little over [-] yuan.

Earning 4000 yuan in half a month is beyond the imagination of people in China.

Wang Weidong returned to Asuka School in Akan Town, and Principal Meguro was very happy to see him return as scheduled.

Wang Weidong immediately rewarded himself by cooking a Chinese meal for himself. It was delicious for Japanese to put a few slices of sashimi on rice at the Kushiro Fishery Factory, but he was really not used to it.

Two letters were stuffed under the crack of the door, one was from Harbin, and the other was from the capital.

Wang Weidong first opened the letter from Harbin City. His father Wang Haifu told him that Ou Xiaoyang asked for his specific address. The store on Minsheng Road was due in two months, and they planned to pay rent for another three years. Everything at home was fine.

It seems that Ou Xiaoyang wrote to Wang Weidong as soon as he knew his address in Japan.

When going abroad, Ou Xiaoyang deliberately found this language school in a remote place in Hokkaido under the advice of a friend. This school does not even need a guarantor, and it is very easy to apply. It is obviously a scam school.

When Wang Weidong finds out that he has been cheated, he will come back immediately.

But what Ou Xiaoyang didn't expect was that Wang Weidong actually started studying here.

Ou Xiaoyang hopes that Wang Weidong will return to China soon, and another big business is waiting for him. This time, he and his friends have prepared a leather jacket worth 20 yuan, and plan to ship it there to make a fortune!
As long as Wang Weidong helps them make this deal, the benefits will definitely be indispensable to him.

In the letter, Ou Xiaoyang also implicitly said that if he didn't want to come back, his friends would be very dissatisfied, which would not benefit him at all when he returned to China.

After thinking about it for a day, Wang Weidong wrote a letter to his family asking the four old people not to run the store anymore, and stop being troubled when they get older. It is enough for the family to rely on him to make money alone.

Now he is living a good life here, he can fully support himself, and even has a surplus.It is best for the family members to return to Xiangyang Chemical Factory to live first.

At the same time as sending the letter, Wang Weidong remitted another [-] yen to his family.

Now the country lacks foreign exchange, so this kind of foreign currency repayment is very welcome, and it is easy to exchange.

"Weidong, I heard that you have been working in Kushiro City to make money during this time. How much did you earn in total?" Another female classmate, Han Mei, asked.

"Seventy thousand yen." Wang Weidong replied.

"If you go to Kobe, Tokyo, you will earn more." Han Mei said.

"I think it's good to be in Kushiro, and I will go there in the next two holidays." Wang Weidong said.

"Haven't you heard that the school allows you to transfer schools now, and several other students and I want to transfer to Yokohama Asuka School," Han Mei said.

Asuka School in Akan Town is a branch of Asuka School in Yokohama. Yokohama is one of the few big cities and is well-known in the world. The teaching conditions there are better, it is easier to work and earn money, and it is more convenient to apply for universities.

In any respect, Akan Asuka School is inferior to Yokohama Asuka School.

"I don't want to leave, I'll just stay here!" Wang Weidong said.

"I heard that Principal Meguro is going to Yokohama too," Han Mei said.

"Then I won't leave until graduation." Wang Weidong said.

"The rest of our classmates think you are a weirdo!" Han Mei said.

Sure enough, a month later, Principal Meguro left Asuka School in Akan and went to Yokohama, but the transfer that the other six people hoped for except Wang Weidong was never allowed.

In addition to studying normally, Wang Weidong often wanders around the village, chatting with the old people and children. He has become the Chinese student most familiar to the villagers.

As a result, Wang Weidong's Japanese level has improved rapidly.

During the summer vacation, there was one month. Wang Weidong worked in the aquatic product factory in Kushiro City for another month and earned 14 yen. During the autumn vacation, he went to work for half a month and earned 15 yen. Wang Weidong kept some of it and sent it back to his family. [-] yen.

The winter vacation is very short, only about ten days, Wang Weidong decided to spend the winter vacation at school.

The new principal, Mr. Yoneda, approached him and asked, "Wang Sang, you will graduate in half a year. Which university do you plan to attend?"

"My level is really low, and it is really difficult to go to university, so I plan to return to China before the visa expires." Wang Weidong replied.

"There is good news for you. Kushiro University has just been established. It is not difficult to graduate with only one economics department. Would you like to try it?" Mr. Yoneda asked.
