After taking a sip of tea, Haotianlu continued: "After nearly half a month of tiring travel, I came to Nanguang City with three classmates, and arrived in a big city where I was not familiar with life and language. As soon as we walked out of the train station, we were dumbfounded, because we didn't know where to go, where was our place to stay? The three of us slept in the square of the train station for two days and two nights, and we also shed tears for two days and two nights, feeling that the future was uncertain. During these two days, we met various travelers, most of whom persuaded us to buy train tickets to go home. There are also people who have been wandering around the train station for a long time, and they have asked us to join their organization, that is, to be beggars. They also warned us that if we were found by the staff at the train station and had been sleeping in the square for a long time, we would be arrested as blind streams and sent to re-education through labor.

The three of us didn't have much money, and it wasn't enough to buy a train ticket for the return trip, so it was impossible to go home. Being a beggar, this is something we absolutely cannot accept. After we discussed, we decided to go to the streets of the city to look for work from the third day. In my hometown, I worked in the restaurant owned by your parents from time to time, and I was familiar with the work in the restaurant, so I suggested that you go to the restaurant to work as a dishwasher or a side dish worker. After dawn, we went to the street to find several restaurants, and there were also dishes and side dishes that needed to be hired, but they only recruited locals. Like us outsiders, we must be able to speak the local vernacular, and we must have a local sponsor to recruit them.

The three of us wandered the streets of the city for another week, the money was all gone, and we were desperate. On the evening of the eleventh day, three exhausted and hungry men supported each other and climbed into the hole of a bridge across the river, and the three fell together. One of the students said: We are already exhausted and desperate, while there is still a breath left, let's throw ourselves into the river together. At that time, my spirit was also on the verge of collapse, and the double attack of hunger and extreme fear of death caused my body to collapse, and my consciousness became blurred, and I felt that my life was coming to an end.

Just as I was waiting for death, two words that your father said when he took me to the car suddenly rang in my head. My spirit was shaken, and my whole body came to my senses. With all my strength, I woke up the other two sleepy classmates, told them to cheer up, and checked their respective backpacks again to see if there were any loose dry food or loose change. After everyone searched again, they found nothing, and the two classmates fell asleep again. In the drowsiness, your father's voice and resolute face kept flashing in my mind, telling me that I must persevere, and I must never give up, because there is a home and relatives waiting for me.

Before I knew it, my hands were again groping for every nook and cranny of my backpack and every pocket of every piece of clothing. Suddenly, my right index finger touched something like a small stick. I shuddered, and quickly pulled out the wooden stick to see that it was a corner of the hem of the military uniform that your father had given me. I twisted it hard, and it was still hard. I took a closer look, and the corners were re-sewn. I immediately bit the thread open with my teeth, and a roll of banknotes fell out. I opened it and counted them one by one, and there were one hundred and four pieces in total. It suddenly occurred to me that this hundred dollars were the one hundred dollars I had placed under your grandfather's pillow, and the other four dollars were added by your parents when they were rolling up the money. With the help of the street lamp on the bridge, I checked it carefully, and this roll of money was sewn by your mother to the corner of the military uniform. Because all the clothes that have been sewn and repaired in our house are sewn by your mother herself, and I am very familiar with the needlework and thread she sews.

It was with these one hundred and four pieces that the lives of the three of us were saved. Over the next week, we walked from the city center to the outskirts of the city, and finally found a tile factory, where a kind factory manager took us over. The rest of the story is simple, I'll tell you when I have time. Da Chun, school is about to start, and walking into a university campus is just a step in your life journey. To climb to the top of life, you need to work your own. Your mom and dad can help you by cheering you on as you climb, giving you a trekking pole when you're tired, and biscuits and mineral water when you're hungry and thirsty. As for the path you choose to take to climb to the top, it's up to you. ”

"Thank you, uncle! I will definitely choose a relatively safe path and try to climb to the top. I will never choose the wrong path, let alone the path of no return. Hao Dachun said firmly.

By this time he had burst into tears and could not help himself to sob. He kept picking up the napkin and wiping away his tears. He didn't expect that his uncle, who is now in a beautiful situation, has gone through such a difficult road.

"Well, that's a good point! Come, eat more shrimp dumplings, they taste very good." Da Chun, the journey of life is indeed very long, and it is important to choose the path. In the journey of life, there is no need to panic if you occasionally take a little detour, or even if you strayed into a road full of thorns. As long as you don't forget your original intention, stick to the right direction, give full play to your wisdom, and overcome difficulties, you can still reach the top in the end. Maybe at that time, the scenery you see from the top of the mountain will be even more beautiful and exciting. Hao Tianlu finished speaking calmly, and put a few beef balls in Hao Dachun's bowl.

"Thank you, uncle!" Hao Dachun said gratefully.

"You have suffered a lot all the way, right? I said in the letter, let you buy a sleeper ticket, did you buy it?" Haotianlu said softly with concern.

"I didn't buy a sleeper ticket, I wanted to save some money. All this money is earned by my uncle's hard work, and I can't spend every penny. But when I got on the train, I met two big brothers, and they took special care of me, not only bought me sleeper tickets, but also ate them for every meal. Along the way, I didn't suffer at all. ”

Next, Hao Dachun told Hao Tianlu how he got on the train and several main things that happened on the train. Finally, he smiled and said, "In order to save money, we ate the souvenirs we brought you." ”

"I never dreamed that you would come all the way, it was really dangerous and thrilling! I was fortunate to meet two caring and righteous big brothers to help you, and you were able to arrive safely. Da Chun, you must always remember their kindness!" Hao Tianlu said.
