The language study in the school teaches only a few everyday words, such as how to greet people of different genders and ages, which are not enough for people engaged in foreign trade.

In fact, these are not important, driven by strong interests, in the actual environment, people's learning ability is very strong.

I mainly relied on myself to learn in the process of doing things on the side of the big northern powers.

This is just like the people who set up stalls in the capital a few years later can skillfully use several Chinese to bargain with foreigners, they are not good students when they are in school, and they are not willing to learn, but in the real environment, they learn quickly, and people are forced out.

Language learning does not take up a long time, and the main thing is ideological learning, after Xu Guanghui finished talking about the situation of the big northern country on the first day, he will change to others to talk about different content from the second day.

Wang Weidong, Yao Qiming and everyone else were holding pens and listening to the lecture while recording it in their notebooks very carefully.

During the break in the afternoon to learn the language, Leng Qiang came over and sat next to Yao Qiming and asked curiously, "Teacher Yao, you have also started to do foreign trade now?" ”

"No, no, it's Comrade Wang Weidong, I just went out this time to be a translator for him, to be a translator! Make use of the residual heat, make use of the residual heat! Yao Qiming hurriedly explained.

Wang Weidong found that one of the characteristics of Yao Qiming's speech is that he always likes to repeat.

However, Leng Qiang is not very satisfied with this answer, how can a retired university teacher be a translator for others?

The intellectuals of the 80s were generally very high-minded and shy about talking about money.

"I used to study there, and at that time the organization sent me to learn Russian, and now I want to go and see, go and see!" Yao Qiming then explained.

There was a time when China had a very friendly relationship with the northern powers, and many people of Yao Qiming's age had very good memories of that country.

So Yao Qiming wanted to take this opportunity to look there again and find the shadow of his youth.

The study class lasted for half a month, and it was not for those who would go out immediately, that is, those who had the possibility of going out in the future would also participate in the study class, and there were not many people doing foreign trade now, so they couldn't open a class for two or three people every time, right?

At the end of the study, it is about to be the National Day, this time is the best time in the Northeast, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the autumn is high and cool, and it is also the harvest season.

"You go back to rest for half a month, the bean cake is too small, and it's too late to start this year. Now the new beans have just begun to be harvested, and when the harvest is finished and then the oil is pressed, it is already cold and frozen, and they cannot be exported at all, so they can only wait until next year. Ou Xiaoyang said regretfully.

However, for Wang Weidong and Yao Qiming, it took a short time to go there and reach the freezing period of Vladivostok, and the fishing boats could only return to port, and the two of them came back.

Ou Xiaoyang's company affiliated with foreign trade and economic cooperation is to exchange soybean meal for cod, and without cod, the business can only be stopped.

In the Northeast, most people call cod a medium-sized fish, and now that people's lives have become better, there is a great demand for mentai fish.

The advantage of doing business with people like Ou Xiaoyang is that he can easily handle some things that are difficult for others, Wang Weidong and Yao Qiming's departure procedures went very smoothly, and the two of them quickly got their documents.

Ou Xiaoyang handed over to Wang Weidong the two thousand roubles he had prepared, half of which were in the maximum denomination of one hundred roubles, and the rest in denominations of fifty, twenty-five and ten roubles.

"Since it's a partnership business, I should pay half of it, why don't you change so much money without making a sound?" Wang Weidong asked dissatisfiedly.

"I happened to have the opportunity to change the money, and I didn't have time to tell you at the time. When you come back, you just give half of the money. Ou Xiaoyang said.

Now the official price of the ruble is very high, but in private it is far from so high, but now the average salary in the big northern countries is about 200 rubles a month, and 2,000 rubles is also a lot of money.

"I'll give Teacher Yao 500 rubles, and you get 2,000, but you still need to do the main thing." Ou Xiaoyang said.

In the past two years, the people who have come back from there have also reflected a lot of the actual situation over there and the style of the people there.

"I understand." Wang Weidong said.

Back at home, Wang Weidong asked Chen Jihong to sew a small pocket in his big pants, and he stuffed most of the two thousand rubles into the pocket.

It may not be necessary at all, but it is better to be prepared and not need to be prepared than to be unprepared.

During the National Day, Wang Weidong led Chen Jihong and his grandmother around the city park, and spent the rest of the time at home. He took the time to go to the university to find Lin Yizhong once, and asked him to go to his home once in a while to help Chen Jihong buy Chinese cabbage and potatoes and other vegetables to eat in winter.

A rural child like Lin Yizhong should be very good at doing such a thing.

On October 5th, Ou Xiaoyang informed Wang Weidong to leave two days later, Chen Jihong prepared a lot of things for him, Wang Weidong took out the prepared cotton jacket and cotton pants from his bag and did not bring them, he planned to wear only sweaters and pants, and buy them there when the cold could not stand it.

The night before the trip, Chen Jihong was lying in the quilt and held Wang Weidong's hand tightly.

"Don't worry, I won't even look at those Russian!" Wang Weidong swore to Chen Jihong, who couldn't hear what he said at all.

Wang Weidong did not let Chen Jihong see him off at the train station, and Ou Xiaoyang accompanied him and Yao Qiming to Fenhe City. The three of them got on the train, and the most excited person was the eldest Yao Qiming.

Maybe it's because I've been a teacher for decades that I've developed a good personality and talk non-stop along the way.

"The original name of the whetstone was Manchu grinding stone, or Molisi, but it turned out to be a whetstone when it was screaming!" Yao Qiming pointed to the stop sign outside the car window and said.

As the train headed east, Yao Qiming, who was rich in history, gave Wang Weidong and Ou Xiaoyang a few hours of history lessons about the Eastern Railway.

The train arrived at Hailin Yao to give a lecture, to Mu Ling Yao to give a lecture, and to Maqiao He, to continue to lecture.

"The railway station here was originally called eight stations, and the city of Fenhe is five stations, all of which were named after Tsarist Russia at that time, connecting the names of China's railway stations with the names of stations in their territory, as if this was also their place." Teacher Yao said with a sigh.

The train ran overnight and arrived in Fenhe City in the early morning, and the state attached great importance to the Fenhe River port, and upgraded Fenhe River to a city, which is now managed by the Mushi City, but because it has just opened, the trade volume is very small, and there is no change in sight.

The entire Fenhe City is still a small town of 10,000 people with a road and a light, and a loudspeaker for the whole city to hear.

Wang Weidong, Yao Qiming, and Ou Xiaoyang, who were carrying their luggage, walked out of the Fenhe Railway Station together and walked to the main street amid the sound of news announcements from loudspeakers.
