In the road networks of towns and villages, electric tricycles and four-wheeled enclosed vehicles are like nimble elves shuttling around flexibly. Whether it’s picking up and dropping off children at school, taking the elderly to see a doctor, or transporting goods to the market, they are always busy on the roads. And in front of the windshield of each enclosed vehicle, the pair of universal wipers, just like loyal guards, silently safeguard the driver’s line of sight and write their own stories in the wind and rain.

Uncle Li is a vegetable farmer. His electric tricycle with an enclosure is fully loaded with fresh and juicy vegetables every morning and drives from the village to the market. It was a drizzly spring morning. The fine raindrops were falling like silver threads. Uncle Li started the vehicle and set off after carefully arranging the vegetables as usual.

When he first got on the road, the rain was light. The universal wipers of the enclosed vehicle swung left and right easily, slowly wiping away the raindrops on the windshield. Through the clear glass, Uncle Li looked at the gradually greening fields by the roadside and the villagers who got up early to work, and he was in an especially good mood. He knew very well that although these small wipers were inconspicuous, they provided great convenience for his travel in such weather.

However, halfway along the road, the rain suddenly became heavier. The raindrops became bigger and denser, hitting the windshield like little stones. The universal wipers of the enclosed vehicle instantly faced a huge challenge. Their swinging speed increased significantly as they struggled to fight against the rain. Uncle Li heard the buzzing sound from the wiper motor and also felt their strain.

Suddenly, with a “creak” sound, the wipers seemed to be stuck by something during the swinging process. One of the wiper blades stopped crookedly in the middle of the glass, while the other was still trembling feebly. Uncle Li’s vision was instantly blurred by the rain. He quickly slowed down and parked the vehicle by the roadside.

Looking at the windshield that was being battered by the rain, Uncle Li was extremely worried. His vegetables had to be delivered to the market on time. Otherwise, their freshness would be greatly reduced and they couldn’t be sold at a good price. He tried to adjust the wipers manually, but they didn’t move at all. Helplessly, he had to get out of the vehicle in the rain to check the condition of the wipers.

Uncle Li found that the rubber strip of one of the wipers had been scratched by the stones splashed up from the road and got stuck at the connection of the wiper arm. He tried to repair it, but he didn’t have the right tools and materials at hand. At this time, there were more and more vehicles on the road, and the splashed water kept hitting him. Uncle Li’s face was full of anxiety and helplessness.

Just then, a young man named Xiao Wang, who was passing by on a motorcycle, saw Uncle Li’s predicament. Xiao Wang stopped his motorcycle and asked about the situation. He told Uncle Li that he had some experience with the wipers of electric enclosed vehicles and might be able to help.

Xiao Wang took out some simple tools and spare wiper rubber strips from the trunk of his motorcycle. He carefully removed the stuck old rubber strip, cleaned the connection of the wiper arm, then skillfully replaced it with a new rubber strip and adjusted the angle of the wipers.

A few minutes later, the universal wipers of the enclosed vehicle resumed normal operation. The wipers swung vigorously from side to side, quickly wiping the rainwater off the windshield. Looking at the clear vision in front of him, Uncle Li finally felt relieved. He excitedly grasped Xiao Wang’s hand and thanked him repeatedly, saying, “Young man, thank you so much! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to deliver these vegetables to the market on time.” Xiao Wang smiled and said, “Uncle, don’t mention it. It’s just a little effort. These wipers are very important in rainy days. You should pay more attention to them in the future.”

Uncle Li restarted the vehicle and drove smoothly towards the market under the protection of the universal wipers. This experience made him deeply realize the importance of the universal wipers for electric tricycles and four-wheeled enclosed vehicles. Since then, he would carefully check the condition of the wipers before each trip and also prepare some spare wiper rubber strips. And Xiao Wang’s kind act, like a ray of sunshine in the spring rain, warmed Uncle Li’s heart and made him feel the beauty and mutual assistance among people. In the days to come, that pair of universal wipers will continue to stand firm in the wind and rain, safeguarding Uncle Li and many other drivers.
