The bamboo house took everyone ten full days to complete, even with strong logistical support.

Although it was said that Wenren Shuangshuang and five others built it, in reality, it took over thirty people, including logistical staff, to make the bamboo house livable.

Once completed, the house was merely filmed for its overall effect before the crew gifted it to a struggling pair of lonely grandparents and grandchildren in the fishing village whose house was dilapidated.

This pair is the most difficult situation in the fishing village, with an empty-nester elder and a left-behind child.

Originally, the elder’s son was just working away from home, although not at home for most of the year, he would regularly send money back, so the grandparents’ and grandchildren’s life was manageable.

Unfortunately, tragedy struck, and later the elder’s son had an accident while working away, and the daughter-in-law couldn’t bear the hopeless life and left the child and elder behind.

The elder and the child then lost their source of income, relying solely on welfare and care from kind villagers to survive.

The elder’s granddaughter is only eight years old but is already sensible enough to do housework and care for the elder, a small child without any mischievousness typical of that age, showing maturity that makes one’s heart ache.

In addition to the bamboo house, the crew left many life supplies and a donation sufficient for the elder’s retirement and to put the granddaughter through college.

Besides this, Zhang Huijuan also promised to donate part of the show’s revenue to establish a fund for left-behind children and elders.

Wenren Shuangshuang and others immediately responded enthusiastically and donated a portion of their earnings.

Of course, this had been discussed beforehand by Zhang Huijuan with them, for public goodwill even spending money is something everyone is willing to do.

However, this pair of grandparents and grandchildren is just a microcosm of the fishing village, which has many other empty-nester elders and left-behind children.

It’s just that other families, although their children are not around, still send money regularly and are not as miserable as this pair.

The reason why Zhang Huijuan went through the efforts of filming this is mainly to emphasize the issue of rural empty-nester elders and left-behind children to the audience again.

Zhang Huijuan is a conscientious director, and she often tells the media, "If I have the ability to influence people’s views, I hope I can set normal perspectives for people and guide them towards kindness."

Not only does she say so, but the shows she films, full of humor, never lack such thought-provoking content.

While happily watching the program, these issues silently permeate into the viewers’ hearts, not dry preaching that becomes annoying to hear often and causes resistance.

She never makes any appeals, yet she can make people spontaneously feel and care about the lives of those facing social difficulties.

Since building the bamboo house was exhausting, Zhang Huijuan gave everyone a lighter task: three teams would explore different directions around the fishing village.

Of course, it wasn’t just aimless wandering but emulating travel show hosts, speaking freely while walking. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Wenren Shuangshuang and Xi Shuang chose to pass through the central part of the village and then turn to the foot of the mountain at the village’s top.

The two entered an alley in the village center, noticing moss growing beside the path. Wenren Shuangshuang felt nostalgic, "This place always gives me a sense of unfamiliar familiarity.

It reminds me of when I lived in an alley with my parents as a child, passing by moss-covered paths on my way to school each day, in these long, thin alleys, I really miss it.

At that time, passing through the alley didn’t feel special, but after growing up, leaving the alley and living in high-rise buildings, I can’t see such scenery anymore.

So, there are moments when I find myself missing the scenery that seemed ordinary then; it’s a sentiment that can no longer be retrieved."

Xi Shuang blinked; he grew up in high-rise buildings and couldn’t fully grasp Wenren Shuangshuang’s sentiment, so he squatted in front of a patch of moss and said, "To me, this place is novel.

I grew up surrounded by neat, orderly buildings and manicured plants, beautiful yet filled with craftsmanship.

But this place is different; wildflowers and plants grow haphazardly. Some may find it messy, but I think this untamed scenery carries a unique charm.

Moreover, I rarely see moss, look at it, it seems to bear fruit, upon closer inspection, it looks like a miniature prairie."

Wenren Shuangshuang glanced at the moss on the ground and suddenly had an idea, "The moss here grows so well, why don’t we make a miniature landscape?"

Miniature landscape? Xi Shuang raised his eyebrows, immediately intrigued, as he knew about miniature landscapes, supposedly made using moss as vegetation, with tiny houses arranged within.

"Can you do it?" Xi Shuang, his eyes sparkling, asked Wenren Shuangshuang.

Wenren Shuangshuang waved her hand, responding cheerfully, "No, I can’t!"

Xi Shuang: "..."

"You agreed so quickly without knowing how."

"Young man, don’t you know that life’s excitement lies in the unknown, in creation? If everything is known and done, what’s the point? Exploring the unknown is the most interesting."

"Alright, so how do you plan to explore the unknown?" Xi Shuang, unable to argue with Wenren Shuangshuang, shrugged, indicating he would go along with her.

Wenren Shuangshuang waved to the logistics staff, asking them to prepare tools for creating a miniature landscape, along with glass domes, and then the two started creating non-work-related miniature landscapes.

Due to the sudden decision, the logistics staff couldn’t provide all the tools for miniature landscape making, like materials for miniature houses.

The two used children’s clay instead, making thumb-sized mushroom houses like those found in fairy tales, along with anthropomorphic animals living inside.

Wenren Shuangshuang didn’t expect Xi Shuang, aside from his dancing talent, to also have a knack for playing with clay.

The anthropomorphic animals he crafted were vivid and lifelike. The two used moss as meadows, small grasses as large trees, with mushroom houses scattered across the meadow.

They started in the morning, so focused that they skipped lunch, and by evening, the miniature landscape was complete, revealing a small fairy tale kingdom within a glass dome.

Wenren Shuangshuang and Xi Shuang looked at their muddy victory with smiling faces, while Su Jie, Xie WenAn, Su Jinjiang, and Wang Hanshao surrounded the miniature landscape, marveling at it.

Su Jie, looking at Wenren Shuangshuang enviously, said, "Sister Shuangshuang, could you make a miniature landscape with me? I want to take it home and care for it well, it’s so beautiful."
