该句使用名词性结构Her way of...表达方式方法。
As a child born into poverty, he understood early on the hardships his mother faced in raising him alone. Being a sensible child, he studied extremely hard and achieved excellent grades.
After graduating from junior high school, he was admitted to a key middle school in the city. Overjoyed, his mother sold several long-haired rabbits, over a dozen egg-laying hens, and even two growing pigs from their home.
Villagers tried to dissuade her, believing it was a great loss to sell livestock that could continue to generate income. However, the mother simply pointed to her son and then to her heart, using gestures to tell her well-meaning relatives that the loss was worth it; she had to accompany her son to the city for school, for he was her whole world.
Once in the city, she rented a small room near the school and found work in a local restaurant.
Her way of finding work was quite simple. She would point to the noodles being eaten by other customers, order a bowl, and after paying, she wouldn't leave. Instead, she would help wipe tables, sweep the floor, and clear dishes, working diligently until late at night. The next day, she would return. The restaurant proprietress was a kind woman; whenever the mother tried to pay for her noodles, the woman would refuse. The mother would bow deeply in gratitude and, in response, work even harder than before.
作为一个出身贫寒的孩子，他很早就体会到了母亲独自抚养自己成长的艰辛。懂事的他学习极为刻苦，成绩始终名列前茅。
初中毕业后，他考上了城里的重点中学。母亲对此倍感欣慰，她毅然卖掉了家里养的几只长毛兔、十多只正在下蛋的母鸡，甚至连两头正值壮年的猪也一并卖了。
村民们纷纷劝阻母亲，认为把这些能持续产生收益的家禽家畜卖掉实在太可惜。母亲只是指了指儿子，又指了指自己的心口，用手势告诉这些好心的亲戚：卖了这些并不可惜，她要陪儿子去城里读书，因为儿子就是她的命根子。
来到城里后，母亲在学校附近租了一间小房子住下，并找了一家餐馆打工。
母亲找工作的方式十分质朴。她会指着其他食客的面条，要一碗吃完并付钱后，便不离开，而是主动帮着擦桌子、扫地、收拾餐具，一直干到深夜。第二天，她依然会准时出现。餐厅的老板娘是个好心人，每次母亲想付面钱时，老板娘都会婉拒。母亲总是深深地鞠躬表示感谢，随后干起活来更加卖力了。
