Sam? Walton is a successful shop owner who started from scratch and has owned several stores after more than a decade of hard work. He had a wife, Helen, and raised three sons and a daughter.

Sam owned a lot of shops, but he was always frugal, and in order to save money, he preferred to have his children help sell things rather than hire an extra man. From the age of 5, children already know how to stand at the counter and help.

When his children were a little older, he "paid money" to hire them to work in the store. Although there is revenge, it is less to receive than others. Not only that, Sam also asked them to invest in the store, and all their pocket money was used to invest.

Sam later recalled the past with a laugh: "I suspect that the children thought that slave labor was put on them, but we didn't want the children to work so hard." We just want them to appreciate the true meaning of labor. ”

"On top of that, I also need help, both at home and in the store. I don't have time to weed, so why not use my three stocky boys and a healthy girl to do the work. They don't devote all their time to work, and Helen and I both value taking the time to take the family on trips or camping. ”

In September 1957, the family was on their way.

Their family is not busy all year round, and they have a month off every year. In 1956, they traveled all over Arkansas. Not only did the Waltons visit Yellowstone, the Ford Terrace, the Grand Canyon, and more, but they also drove all the way to the East Coast.

The Waltons' kids stuffed their RV car with camping gear strapped up all over the car.

His wife, Helen, was happy to make such trips, and camping became an important part of their lives. Of course, they often have to stop and go to the shops, all kinds of shops, wherever they are. Their family runs a shop. Whenever he passes through a nice town, Sam takes the whole family to visit the shops in that place.

When they see something unique about a store, Sam takes the kids to analyze whether the features of the store can be used in their own stores. At first, everyone was in high spirits, but unfortunately, the children felt bored after too many times.

Sometimes people but Sam don't want to go down to the store. Helen would stay in the car with the children and wait.

Their children would say to their father, "All right, Daddy! Don't go to any other store! ”

But Sam still goes there, and more than once or twice, stopping by the same shops whenever he passes by.

Sam's children had four children, three boys and one girl.

The eldest son, Rob, is 17 years old. It's the last year of high school, but he hasn't decided whether to go to college or come back to help his family open a store.

The eldest daughter, Alice, is 16 years old and attends the same high school as her brother Rob, she is a cheerleader at the school, and her academic performance is not very good.

The second son, John, is 13 years old and loves comics and music.

The youngest son, Jim, is 11 years old and doesn't see any hobbies yet.

Helen has always insisted on living in a small town. One of the reasons is that they want to nurture children with the values they formed when they were young. Another purpose of theirs was to keep the family in harmony, and Helen's parents had a good relationship, and she grew up in a warm family.

As for Sam, it's different, he had an unforgettable childhood, which is sad to recall. His parents don't get along well and always quarrel when they're together. Sam vowed to make his wife and children happy, and never quarrel like his parents.

On this day, they were on a long trip to the East Coast when they saw a young man in ragged clothes walking on the road. When their family was far away. I have already seen that person.

"Hey! Look at that man, he actually walked barefoot and didn't wear shoes! Rob called out first, he was sitting next to the passenger seat, and it was Sam who was driving.

When they go out on a trip, they always drive a big motorhome and can stay on it for days without getting out. The car is expensive. Originally, Sam didn't plan to buy it, but Helen thought they were always traveling, so why not just buy a big car. So I bought it.

Sam also showed the man, and they could only see the man's back. You can't see each other's faces.

The man's clothes looked down, but from the way he walked, he didn't feel the way he was in trouble. When the wind blows, his head floats in the air, glittering in the sun.

Somehow, Sam slowed down the car and finally stopped more than ten meters in front of the man.

Helen and the other children came from behind, and she asked, "Honey, why did you stop?" ”

"Yes, Daddy! We're not there yet. The youngest son, Jim, shouted.

Sam didn't speak, and soon everyone saw that he was staring in the rearview mirror, so they all ran to the window and stuck their heads out to look behind. They soon saw a golden boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, who seemed to have wandered for a long time, but he was not depressed or depressed, but walked forward in great strides.

"Hey, that's a handsome guy!" Alice exclaimed.

"Dad, did you stop to help?"

"Did you see, he didn't have shoes!"

"Don't make a fuss, be quiet for a while!"

The children were gossiping about this strange homeless man. They could sense something different from this person, but they couldn't say what it was.

Yes, that homeless man is actually Alex, and he is on his way home.

Once Alex decided on his future goals, he thought about returning home. So he walked along the road, he didn't think about going to the police for help, he just wanted to walk home on his own.

"Hey! Do you need a ride? Sam shouted at Alex.

Alex looked at them in amazement, at the big RV, at the family who poked their heads out of the window.

"Are you talking to me?" Alex asked, knowing that the other party was talking to him because there was no one else around. He just wanted to be sure, the most important thing was that he didn't know what the family's intentions were.

"Talking to you, of course! If you want a ride, come on! Sam shouted.

"yes, hurry up!"

"Are you going to the East Coast too?"

"Why are you wandering? Does the family know? ”

"You don't have to worry. We're not bad guys! ”

"There's only one bad guy here, and that's Alice, haha!"

The children's noisy yelling annoyed Sam and Helen, but they were used to it, so they didn't stop it.

Alex thought for a moment and smiled like a sunny smile, "Okay. I was also looking for a break. ”

He jumped barefoot into Walton's car, and when he got there, he realized that there were so many things in it that almost the whole car was full.

The Walton kids soon apparent that Alex was a very interesting man, at least not the gloomy kind of guy. At the same time, they also showed Alex looking down. There were no shoes, and the clothes were tattered, but the whole body was clean.

When they asked why, Alex smiled, "It's because I go to the neighborhood every day to find water to bathe!" Yesterday I found a river, so I didn't take off my clothes, so I jumped in to wash it. ”

"And what do you eat?" Alice asked curiously.

"There are a lot of fruit trees on the road, so I go and pick them when I'm hungry. The taste is pretty good. Sometimes, when I pass through some small towns, I also go to work for people to earn money. Of course, they are all day laborers, and they only work for half a day at most. ”

"Wow! I see, it sounds interesting. ”

One of the children suddenly said, "You look familiar, well, like a famous person." ”

"Oh? When you say that, I think so too. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Do you look a lot like Alex? Carpenter! However, he should be more handsome and temperamental than you! Alice shouted at him.

"Haha, my sister is a nymphomaniac again! Mom and Dad, look at it, my sister looks so stupid. ”

"John! You're going to die! ”

"Ouch, my sister is bullying! Mom and Dad! ”

"Alright. Kids, stop making a fuss! Stop it! Helen hurried out to calm the quarrel.

Of course, they didn't think that the person in front of them was Alex himself, at most it was just an unintentional remark, and they quickly put the matter aside.

At this time, Alex's image is completely different from usual. Not only did his head grow a lot, but he also grew a beard, which was not the same as the original white little student.

Perhaps because Alex was so likable, the Walton kids quickly got into a heated fight with him, especially Alice, who she liked to talk to the most.

It was only after Guò learned that Alex had come out for a trip and that Sam was the owner of several shops. Not only do they have to go to school, but they also have to work in the shop at home. In the mouths of the children, the father is simply harsher than the strictest boss, and they love and hate the father.

Privately, Alice once told him, "As Sam's child, I had to stand behind the candy counter and sell popcorn when I was only 5 years old. Doing business is a part of our lives, and it's often a staple of dinner conversations. We've heard a lot about borrowing money to open a store, and it worries me. ”

Not only that, Sam also kept borrowing money to open stores, and the Waltons' family had a lot of shops on the surface, but in fact, they had very little cash to use. A lot of money was taken to pay off debts as soon as it was not warmed in his hands.

Alice said with some concern: "I don't know what we should do, my father owes so much debt, he won't stop opening the shop. ”

"Don't worry! Alice, your father is a smart man, and he knows what he's doing. ”

Alex comforted her and tried to dispel her concerns, but it didn't sound convincing.

The encounter with the Walton family was just an accident on Alex's road, and he soon got off the bus in one town. Before leaving, he asked Sam for his phone number, and he said, "Thank you! Sam, I'll be sure to call you when I get back. ”

"Haha, you're so polite! I don't think you need much help because you've always been on your feet. I invited you because I wanted to get to know you, after all, I want to get to know people. ”

Alex found Sam's observation very strong, and at the same time, Sam's idea was interesting, and they exchanged ideas about doing business on the way. Sam had a lot of ideas about opening a store, but he was limited to financial problems and never got it off the ground.

However, Sam has now started his grand plan, expanding his business territory little by little, and he is also confident and determined to walk on his own life path.

Alex had already had some guesses when he met the Waltons, but at that time he hadn't used his abilities to be sure. During the period of contact and understanding, he slowly determined, Sam in front of him? Walton was the founder of Wal-Mart he was looking for.

When his investment company was established, he sent people to look for Sam, but he couldn't find it. What I didn't expect was that there was nowhere to find it when I stepped on the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it, so I encountered it in this situation.

Before revealing his identity, Alex didn't rush to tell them how many millions of dollars to invest. He plans to wait for the immediate matter to pass before contacting Sam, and then someone will naturally discuss investment matters on his behalf.

The Waltons watched Alex leave, and when they couldn't see it anymore, Sam suddenly said, "This young man is definitely not an ordinary bum!" Not even a bum, I'm sure of that. ”

Helen asked a little strangely, "I know he is not an ordinary person, but he is indeed a vagabond." ”

"Well, didn't you ask him who he was?"

"I didn't ask, strange, when I was chatting with him, I didn't even think to ask him how his family was. It's like chatting with an old friend without even thinking to ask these questions. ”

"That's right! Do you feel that way too? ”

"No, none of us even asked him who he was?"

"Well, I wanted to ask, but I was afraid that he would refuse to answer after asking, so I didn't ask."

Walton's children were strangely moved, but they also began to feel that Alex was not an ordinary person.

Sam smiled and said, "You may not know that his eyes are so clear that he seems to be able to read people's hearts, and I have only seen them in a few people. ”

"So who do you think he is? My dear! Helen asked.

"I don't know, it may be some rich kid who came out to practice, or it may be some famous person."

"Gee, so you think he's going to be Alex?" Alice suddenly exclaimed.

"Alex? Wasn't he kidnapped, it couldn't be him? ”

"Maybe it's him! Dad didn't just say that he might be famous, then the one that fits him best is Alex. ”

"Impossible! Don't dream, sister! ”

The Walton kids were arguing again, especially Jim and Alice, who seemed to have a natural feud and didn't have to stop for a moment. With the sound of the quarrel, Sam turned a deaf ear and continued on the road.
