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

The next day, Principal Meguro and the teachers took the students on a tour of the entire village, an elementary school with less than 10 children and a meat processing factory with 7 or 8 people.

Except for one kilometer, there is an endless forest on all sides.

Then Wang Weidong and the others were taken back to the school, and at the same time, it was announced that the 24-hour supervision system would be implemented, and they must ask for instructions when leaving the school.

Wang Weidong began a life of studying hiragana and katakana.

"Aunt Ada—" Wang Weidong called loudly in the face of Cangshan.

There are very few students like Wang Weidong who study hard, and those who are there to make money except for him.

The students asked to work and earn money while studying several times, but this request was rejected by the school on the grounds that the Immigration Bureau has a rule that they cannot work for three months after entering the country.

Besides, everyone has seen the situation near the school, and there is no way to work in a sparsely populated area like Akan-cho.

Everyone has a visa for one or two years in their hands, time is money, and if you stay here for one more day, you will earn less money, and you can't afford to spend it at all.

So many people come to this country for the sole purpose of making money, making money, making money! They're not here to learn.

Late at night, a dozen or so students quietly packed their belongings and quietly left the school in groups, walking into the forest with wooden sticks in their hands.

The reason why they don't walk the kilometre is because they are afraid that they will be spotted by cars on the road and reported to the school or the police, so they will have to go back to school.

They hold sticks because there are bear-infested warning signs on the edge of the forest, and they hold on to them to deal with bears and wolves in the forest.

Wang Weidong and the other classmates who stayed behind returned to the dormitory after sending off those who fled late at night, and now he and the classmate named Zheng Li were left in the whole room, and the other four were gone.

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

At the same time, the principal Meguro and the teachers came to express their condolences to the students who remained in the school, the mayor and the chief of education of Akan Town also came to visit the remaining students, and even the villagers and people from other parts of Akan Town came to the school to express their condolences to Wang Weidong.

Akan is the equivalent of a town in China, and the people here are eager to keep the school that brings life to the town.

Soon after arriving at the school, the more than 50 students who came here told Principal Meguro and teachers about their difficulties, hoping that the school would understand and allow them to go out to work and earn money.

But these people do not include Wang Weidong, who seems to be very different.

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

"No, that's what I'm here to study. Principal Meguro, frankly, I knew when these students left, and if I were to leave, I would have left a long time ago. Wang Weidong replied.

Principal Meguro sat next to Wang Weidong and said: "From the passport, it seems that you are from Northeast China, in fact, I have lived there for more than ten years, and in 1945 I was adopted by a couple who came from Shandong to Northeast China, and I would have died without them, 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 learn the language before you go out and develop! ”

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

According to Wang Weidong's observations, only five or six of the more than 50 students from China want to enter 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 who was specially invited by the school to cook for the students left.

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

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 to make money, I heard that they can make hundreds of yuan a day!" ”

These hundreds of yuan are a few hundred yuan after the yen is converted into yuan, if people in China know that you can earn a few hundred yuan a day here, you must not envy to death!

Of course, this is the result of the hard work of those who work here working two or three jobs a day.

"I don't want to, I want to learn Japanese in a down-to-earth way right now!" Wang Weidong said seriously.

Several other people looked at Wang Weidong suspiciously.

Everyone has been together for a few months, and each other's family situation has been understood, Xie Yifang's grandfather was a famous entrepreneur in Shanghai, and the family was very rich back then, Xie Yifang has two uncles who are overseas capitalists, so she really came here to prepare for college.

Although the other people are not as rich as Xie Yifang, they are all educated and have some family backgrounds, so they have a long-term vision, making money is very important, but learning is even more important.

If you want to make money, it's a big deal to earn it after graduating from college here, and you can earn more and have a better career.

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 university.

But what is the situation with Wang Weidong? I heard him say that his parents are old workers who get retirement wages, his family situation is very ordinary, and his own education level is not high, these situations are no different from those who have left, why does he stay here to learn Japanese with peace of mind?

Wang Weidong returned to the dormitory alone, it was March, and it was still very cold in Hokkaido, especially at night.

He watched the TV show for a while, and then pulled 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 in the past few months to ask if he had come back and asked him about his situation in Japan.

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

The shop opened by the family on Minsheng Road belongs to the house of the flax factory, and the rent is due for three years this year, and the people of the flax factory have come to the house to ask whether they want to renew the lease, Wang Haifu told Wang Weidong in the letter that the four old people decided to continue to work in this store, otherwise it will be boring, and it is better to make some money by moving their bodies.

The language school has spring break in late March and closed in mid-April.

Wang Weidong plans to go outside during this time.

He approached Principal Meguro and said, "Principal, I'm going to take advantage of the holidays to find something to do outside, can you give me some advice?" ”

"What are your plans?" Principal Meguro asked.

"I don't want to go too far, I can go to Kushiro City, which is dozens of kilometers away, and I want to work at the Fisheries Co., Ltd. there." Wang Weidong replied.

Kushiro is a small city, but it is an important fishing port, with more than one-tenth of the country's fish and seafood landing.

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

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