Help the fellow general move. While sorting through a pile of old books, the general squatted on the ground and cried.

The general opened a notebook, on which he recorded his daily expenses, one by one, clear to one dollar for breakfast and three dollars for lunch. Later, the general told a story about his past with his father.

The general's home was in a village in rural Xuzhou. In his memory, his father had been working part-time near Xuzhou Railway Station, and it was rare for him to come home.

When he was admitted to a university in Xi'an, his father took out a bag of money from the bank and counted it one by one with saliva, counting it again and again.

During his freshman year, the general was hooked on online games and often spent the whole night in the Internet cafe outside of school. Although he felt that he was wasting his time, the classmates around him were all similar. It was either playing ball, watching movies, or playing games online, and the general was relieved.

After returning home from summer vacation, the general stayed in the village for a few days. Feeling particularly bored, he nervously proposed to his father that he wanted to go to his place to play for a few days. At least there is an Internet cafe there! My father agreed for the first time.

In the distance, the general saw his father waiting at the exit of the train station. After a year of college life, the general felt for the first time that his father stood out in the crowd - his clothes were shabby and too wide to fit.

He reminded his father that the clothes were too old. His father said that he didn't work hard, and he didn't sit in the office. Why did he wearing such new clothes? He said again, it's too big. His father also said that if the clothes are bigger, you can stretch your hands and feet when you work, otherwise, as soon as you reach out, the clothes will be torn.

What the general did not expect was that in 2003, his father, who had a monthly income of more than 4,000 yuan, actually lived in the attic of a private house, which was only six or seven square meters. In addition to an iron frame bed, there was also a wooden shelf for the washbasin. On the enamel basin with many pieces of porcelain falling off, there was an old towel that could not be seen…

The general always thought that his father lived a very comfortable life in the city, but he did not expect to be so miserable.

The father took the general back to his residence and said, "Sit down, I'm going to get busy." As he spoke, he went downstairs. The general could not sit down, so he quietly closed the door, went downstairs, and followed his father. He wanted to see what his father did.

At seven turns and eight turns, the general followed his father to Xuzhou cold storage. There were more than a dozen people who were similar to his father, some pushing carts, some holding poles, and the general saw his father push his cart out from the doorman. At that moment, a large truck entered the compound, and his father and everyone followed behind the car and rushed in.

A few minutes later, the general saw his father, hunched over and carrying a large cardboard box. He took a few steps, paused, wiped the sweat off his forehead with a towel tied to his wrist, took a few more steps, put the cardboard box on his back on the trolley, and then rushed to the truck. A few seconds later, he hunched over and carried another cardboard box.

After doing this seven times, my father pushed the car towards the freezer, hunched over, his legs so tight that the general could even see the blue veins on his father's legs dozens of meters away.

It turns out that what his father earns is hard-earned money! He was melancholy.

He asked the doorman how much money he could get by moving the goods once. The doorman told him that it cost fifty cents a box.

The general calculated in his heart that his father shipped seven boxes at a time, earning 3.5 yuan and 50 cents.

The general returned home that afternoon. He no longer thought about surfing the Internet. His father's veined legs were always shaking in front of his eyes. He also calculated how much sweat he had wasted in the Internet cafe.

When he went back to school, his father took out a thick wad of money from the bank, counted it again and again, and handed it to the general. The general counted it and said, "This semester is short, 2,000 is enough." Saying that, he divided half of it and left it to his father. On this day, the general decided to be a good son and a good student.

But his idea soon became a passing fad. When those old playmates shouted to go to the Internet cafe again, when he saw the game pattern intentionally or unintentionally, he couldn't help but be restless in his heart. Finally, he walked into the Internet cafe again.

On National Day, roommates organized trips to Karaoke, bars, and saunas. The two thousand dollars brought home will be gone by the end of October.

The general called his mother and said that he had been sick some time ago and had run out of money.

On the afternoon of the third day, Xi'an suddenly cooled down, and the general, who was playing cards with his classmates in the dormitory, received a callomeone was looking for him at the school gate. The general ran to the school gate and saw his father.

His father, who was in his fifties, looked like an old man in his seventies. He looked tired and carried a bed of cotton wool on his back.

The general brought his father to the campus and asked him in a low voice, "Why are you here? I left an account number for my mother, and you just need to enter the money into that card. You ran so far and still carry this thing on your back, which is hard work and a waste of money."

His father smiled flatteringly at him and said, "I heard from your mother that you were sick some time ago, how are you doing now? You have to eat better and take care of yourself. You don't have to worry about living expenses. As long as you can eat well and learn good grades, your father can afford more living expenses.

The general murmured, "Already... done..."

On the way to the teaching building, my father said, "I'm relieved to see that you're doing well. I'll give you the living expenses and I'll go back. It won't affect you."

The general took the money from his father and was about to say that he would take his father to the school's hostel, but his father said again, "In two months, you will have a winter vacation, right? I brought you 3,000 yuan this time. You just got sick. You need to eat well and strengthen your body so that you can have the energy to study well."

The father stopped, "Go back!"

The general knew his father's temper and stopped saying anything.

He walked not far away, and when he turned around, he found that his father was still standing there, waving at him. He remembered that when he was in high school, every time his father sent him to the school in the county seat, it was this scene, and tears filled his eyes.

The shriveled wallet finally bulged, and the game that had not been seen for a week was calling for the general again. After dinner, the general went to the Internet cafe outside the school again. After five hours of fierce fighting, the general was going back to the dormitory. As usual, he came to a big banyan tree outside the school and climbed over the wall to enter the school.

The moment he climbed the wall, his heart hurt!

The yellow street lamp shines on his father, who is nestled in the corner with a broken cardboard box that he picked up from nowhere. At this moment, he is wrapping his cotton-padded clothes and wrapping his high school scarf tightly around his father's head.

When the general said this, he couldn't help but cry.

After crying for a long time, the general continued: "Later, my mother told me that when my father heard that I was sick, he desperately wanted to see me. He couldn't buy a seat ticket, and he was reluctant to buy a sleeper. He stood for more than 20 hours and came to Xi'an. In order to save money for accommodation, he squatted in the corner of our school all night. I cried on the phone and pretended not to know until my mother told me. Because I knew my father's stubbornness, even if I woke him up at that time, he would still be there. I went quietly back to the dormitory, but my heart kept hurting. It hurt to think of his action of wrapping his clothes tightly. I deleted all accounts ofe game overnight."

From then on, the general never went to an Internet cafe again, and never wasted a penny. That is, from that day on, he prepared this bookkeeping book and began to make up for the studies he left behind.

"I used to think that his life was bad and he didn't enjoy the blessings of life. After that incident, I realized that it wasn't that he didn't have blessings, but that he was used to giving all his enjoyment to his son."

"He started working in that freezer at the age of seventeen and continued until last spring." The general could not continue.

Later, the general's father died, leaving him a deposit of 370,000 yuan.
