Kushiro Public University was founded in '88, and it's only been a year since then. Wang Weidong had heard about it when he was working at the Kushiro Fisheries Factory, because it was a big deal for a small Kushiro city to suddenly have a university.

At that time, the people of Kushiro City were very proud of this event.

"Mr. Yoneda, I still have a few months to study here, and after I graduate, I plan to continue working in a fishery factory until my visa expires, and then I plan to go back." Wang Weidong excused himself.

Principal Yoneda did not expect Wang Weidong to refuse this suggestion, because entering Kushiro Public University would mean that Wang Weidong would get another visa opportunity, and he would be able to earn a lot of money when he got his university diploma.

And with a university diploma, Wang Weidong has a better chance of finding a good job here, getting a visa or even staying permanently.

In fact, when he was working in a fishery factory, Chairman Sato also asked him to solve the visa problem, and then left this young man from China to work in the factory.

Although this is something that many Chinese who come here to make money dream of, Wang Weidong refused.

It is not his wish to work here for a long time to make money, and perhaps one day he wants to sell cod from Larimov's fishing company here.

Ou Xiaoyang wrote in March urging him to return to China, and Wang Weidong replied that he would return when his visa expired after completing his studies. But since then, Ou Xiaoyang has never written to him to urge him.

The winter vacation lasted from December 28 to January 8 in 90, which was less than half a month, so Wang Weidong did not go to work in the aquatic company, but stayed in school.

In March '90, the Akan-cho Asuka School held a grand graduation ceremony for seven people, including Wang Weidong.

The mayor of Akan and the chief of education came to participate because it was the first international student to graduate from Akan.

After a year and a half of study, coupled with the usual communication with the villagers and the workers in the aquatic factory, Wang Weidong has become very good at daily Japanese.

After finishing his studies at Asuka School in Akancho, Wang Weidong went to Kushiro to continue his work at the Kushiro Fisheries Factory, and he asked Chairman Yoshinori Sato for a business card to keep, which he might use in the future.

In half a year, he earned more than 800,000 yen, which is 50,000 yuan according to the calculation of 1 to 17. Coupled with the ones he sent home before, as well as the ones he carried with him, removing all kinds of expenses for studying, Wang Weidong also earned tens of thousands of yuan this time.

Wang Weidong sent 800,000 yen back home, and then bought a plane ticket to return to China.

After the plane landed at the Beijing airport, Wang Weidong found a hotel to stay in and made a phone call to Ou Xiaoyang.

Hearing that Wang Weidong was finally back, Ou Xiaoyang was very happy, he drove a Santana to pick up Wang Weidong, and then pulled Wang Weidong to Donglaishun to eat shabu mutton.

Listening to Wang Weidong talk about his experience in the small book in the past two years, Ou Xiaoyang said with emotion: "You are still doing the right thing, you have not only learned Japanese but also made money in the past two years, unlike me who has been sitting on a mountain for the past two years." ”

"Buying Santana without making money?" Wang Weidong said.

"There's no way, it's really faceless for friends to not have a good car together." Ou Xiaoyang replied helplessly.

However, although he lamented that he was sitting and eating nothing, Ou Xiaoyang did not mention the matter of letting Wang Weidong go to the big northern country to do business.

Wang Weidong also tacitly did not ask the reason.

"What are your plans to come back this time?" Ou Xiaoyang asked.

"Not yet, there is no chance now, if I can sell Vladivostok's sea fish to Hokkaido, I will definitely make a lot of money!" Wang Weidong said with a sigh.

It was still unrealistic to do this kind of trade in the nineties.

It wasn't until Ou Xiaoyang drove Wang Weidong back to the hotel and Wang Weidong got out of the car that Ou Xiaoyang said: "Weidong, let's talk about going to the big northern country to do business in a year and a half." ”

Three days later, Wang Weidong returned to his home at the Xiangyang Chemical Plant.

The four old men had already returned to the chemical plant from Harbin a year ago, and it was not easy for foreign trade and economic people to find him now.

Only her mother Li Yufeng and grandmother Huang Guiying are at home, the family is too crowded, and Chen Jihong lives in her mother's house with her children.

"Don't run around anymore, just stay in peace, how hard Ji Hong has been at home alone in the past two years." Huang Guiying said.

"This time I will stay at home for a while and not go anywhere." Wang Weidong replied.

"In the past two years, you have sent tens of thousands of dollars to your home, which is almost enough, how much is more!" Li Yufeng also persuaded his son.

The three of them talked about the current situation of the chemical plant, the cost of float glass is too high, the sales situation is very bad, and the radio produced by the radio factory has a large backlog and cannot be sold.

"Thanks to your eldest brother and Xiaomei, both belong to the military production sector, and the salary is guaranteed, otherwise it will be difficult to open a salary." Li Yufeng said.

Five years ago, in order to be transferred to the radio factory, Wang Xianqin and Qu Xiaomei also carried gifts to the house of Deputy Director Fang at night to dredge up relations, but Deputy Director Fang remembered what happened to Wang Weidong, and the next day the two of them were transferred to the handling team responsible for the shipment of military products, and the other went to the small canteen where they had to work the night shift to cook for the military workers.

At that time, working as a porter and working the night shift in the small canteen was very hard, and no one wanted to go. Unexpectedly, a few years have passed, and these difficult positions have become fragrant and sweet, for only one reason, although it is hard, the salary is high and guaranteed.

The chemical plant converted to civilian production of float glass and radio plants were actually loss-making, and now they can only barely guarantee low wages.

"Who would have thought that it would be difficult to invest in such a large factory! There is really no way, now the factory raises funds to pay wages to workers, and the factory promises to pay 10% interest! Many old workers coveted high interest rates and handed over thousands of yuan they had saved over the decades to the factory, waiting for the interest. Li Yufeng said with a sigh.

"Weidong, Deputy Factory Director Fang is finished." Grandma Huang Guiying said suddenly.

Huang Guiying gestured with a dry palm and said, "I heard that he is likely to eat this!" ”

Seeing his grandmother's action startled Wang Weidong.

"Deputy Director Fang has been arrested for two or three months, and there is a brother-in-law who specially drove for him! I heard that Deputy Director Fang has been greedy for tens of thousands of yuan in recent years, and his brother-in-law has reimbursed hundreds of thousands of yuan for car fuel and repair costs in recent years, which is full of cats! Li Yufeng explained.

Hearing the news, Wang Weidong was speechless for a while.

After chatting at home for more than an hour, Wang Weidong got up and planned to go to his father-in-law's house, but at this time, his father Wang Haifu suddenly pushed the door and came in.

Wang Haifu usually goes out in the morning to play for a day and won't come back until dark, but today he came back after going out for two or three hours, which is very abnormal.

Seeing Wang Weidong, Wang Haifu didn't say much nonsense and asked directly: "Where are you going?" ”

"I want to go see Ji Hong." Wang Weidong replied.

Seeing his father's appearance, he was very inexplicable.

"Don't go! Don't go anywhere! Wang Haifu said.
