Deep in the network of urban and rural areas, the roads are like winding silk ribbons, connecting the simplicity and tranquility of the countryside with the hustle and bustle of the marketplaces. Uncle Li’s electric tricycle is an indispensable good helper in his old age, accompanying him through countless dawns and dusks. The carriage has been fully loaded with fresh vegetables from his own vegetable garden and transported to the market to earn some pocket money; it has also carried neighbors, helping them solve the urgent problem of getting around; and it has carried building materials for renovating the old house, witnessing every bit of his efforts to safeguard his home. And the Tianju High-Energy Run tricycle battery hidden at the bottom of the vehicle body is like a power “source”, endowing the vehicle with the energy to run for a long time. The stories behind it are full of ups and downs as well as heartwarming moments.
Uncle Li is over seventy years old and still in fairly good health. On weekdays, he loves to tend his vegetable garden and do some small businesses along the way. When choosing an electric tricycle at the beginning, he heard that the Tianju High-Energy Run tricycle battery had excellent endurance and could make the vehicle travel a lot more distance, so he didn’t hesitate to place an order. At first, the battery really lived up to Uncle Li’s expectations. After being fully charged, Uncle Li could leisurely make several round trips between the market and the village, and there was still plenty of power left, which attracted praise from others. Uncle Li was very pleased and felt that the money was well spent.
However, unexpected things happen. A heavy rainstorm after autumn disrupted Uncle Li’s daily life. On that day, the dark clouds were as black as ink, hanging heavily in the sky. Big raindrops pounded on the ground, and deep puddles quickly formed on the road. Uncle Li was worried that the ripe fruits and vegetables in the vegetable garden would be soaked and spoiled by the rain, so he quickly put on his raincoat and started the vehicle, preparing to rush to pick them.
Not long after the vehicle drove out of the village, something went wrong. The tricycle, which had been moving forward smoothly before, suddenly slowed down rapidly, as if it was being dragged by an invisible force. Uncle Li’s heart tightened, and he quickly stopped the vehicle to check. He saw that the outer shell of the battery was steaming hot, and he could even smell a pungent strange smell when he got closer. The power indicator light on the dashboard was flashing wildly. No matter how he turned the throttle, the vehicle just made a few “creaking” sounds and didn’t move at all.
Looking at the pouring rain outside the window and his beloved vehicle that had broken down halfway, Uncle Li was extremely worried. Seeing that all the fruits and vegetables in the garden were about to rot in the field while he was trapped on the way, a sense of powerlessness instantly surrounded him. What’s worse, several old friends in the village were still waiting to take his vehicle to the town to buy daily necessities. With this delay, everything would be messed up. Fine beads of sweat oozed out on Uncle Li’s forehead, and the rain mixed with sweat slid down his cheeks. He was full of anxiety and helplessness.
Uncle Li decided to try to solve the problem by himself. Trembling, he took out a simple repair tool kit from under the seat and squatted down to get busy. However, the rain kept pouring into his eyes, the tools were wet and slippery and difficult to hold, and the screwdriver almost fell into the mud pit. It took him a lot of effort to unscrew a few screws on the outer shell of the battery. Looking inside, he found that the wires were wet and stuck together, and some wire ends even showed signs of being burnt. The complicated situation was far beyond the old man’s expectation. Uncle Li was so anxious that he stamped his feet, pacing around like an ant on a hot pan.
Just when Uncle Li was almost desperate, an agricultural four-wheeled vehicle slowly drove over and stopped beside him. The window was rolled down, and a simple and honest face popped out. The young driver asked with concern, “Uncle, what’s the matter? You seem so anxious.” Uncle Li seemed to grasp a life-saving straw. Pointing at the broken battery, he told his encounter with a sob in his voice. Without saying a word, the young man jumped out of the vehicle and took out a rain cape, professional circuit detection tools, insulating tape, and spare small circuit accessories from the vehicle.
It turned out that the young man was also often engaged in rural transportation and deeply understood the thorny problem of vehicle breakdowns in rainy days. He always kept emergency items in the vehicle. First, he put the rain cape on Uncle Li to keep the rain off. Then he skillfully used the detection tools to check the circuits, cut off the burnt and stuck wire ends, carefully wrapped them with insulating tape, replaced them with spare small accessories, reconnected the circuits, and repeatedly debugged them to ensure that the connection between the battery and the vehicle was normal. In less than half an hour, Uncle Li’s tricycle came back to life. The motor ran smoothly and the power indicator light lit up steadily.
Uncle Li’s eyes were red, and his voice choked with emotion. He grasped the young man’s hand tightly and thanked him repeatedly, saying, “Good boy, thank you so much! If it weren’t for your timely appearance, all the fruits and vegetables in my garden would have been ruined. I’ll remember this kindness!” The young man smiled and waved his hand, saying, “Uncle, don’t mention it. We’re all away from home. Who doesn’t have difficulties? It’s just a little effort. You should pay more attention to the vehicle and the battery on rainy days in the future.”
Uncle Li got on the vehicle again and drove steadily towards the vegetable garden. After this incident, Uncle Li took meticulous care of the Tianju High-Energy Run tricycle battery. Before each charging, he would carefully wipe the outer shell to ensure that there was no water stain. He also regularly checked the circuits and specially put a waterproof cover on the battery. Since then, the battery has never had any problems again and has steadily accompanied Uncle Li as he shuttled between urban and rural roads, witnessing his plain but fulfilling life in his old age.
