Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

The sky was overcast, and a light drizzle was falling. 😾♛ ❻➈ˢ𝕙𝕌Ⓧ.ᶜ𝐨Μ ★😾

For Luo Tian, ​​it was just another ordinary Thursday night.

An ordinary, mundane day; a common, yet boring day.

For him, who runs a convenience store, rainy days are good news. Passersby who take shelter from the rain at the store often buy something to take home.

As a convenience store owner, the night shift is much less stressful than the day shift.

However, he paid a price: the long nights brought him double the loneliness.

But the loneliness of being alone is clearly less devastating than the pressure of raising a child. With his wife's salary and his own, the two barely managed to make ends meet. The heavy burden of life also extinguished the passion between them.

Aside from the time for paying grain taxes, there was no spark in our lives anymore.

Getting old is not scary, but an old heart is incurable.

As usual, Luo Tian turned on the TV and searched for programs. Watching TV was his only pastime while waiting for guests. Luo Tian muttered to himself as he switched channels.

"The shows lately are all so boring. What should I watch?"

Luo Tian is a loyal user of the TV station. However, lately, the content broadcast by the station has become increasingly boring. Apart from melodramatic and gossipy prime-time romance dramas, it's just the same old, tired game variety shows.

If it weren't for the long night, it would be so boring!

If Luo Tian didn't need television to stay awake, he would have turned it off long ago.

"On Xinjian Road in Jing'an District, only Grandma Wang lives alone. ♨🐺 ❻➈ˢℍ𝕦𝕏.ᑕỖᵐ 🍬💋 Her daughters are all married and only visit her once a week with their grandson. Although her house is big enough for one person."

"But for Grandma Wang, there are many problems that give her a headache..."

Luo Tian stopped trying to change the channel and instead turned the volume up to the right.

Is this a documentary? Or a new variety show?

Looking at the roof, with its exposed tiles due to damage, and the cramped dining room where family members had to fight over their chopsticks countless times during a meal, Luo Tian couldn't help but empathize, because his family wasn't much better off.

Living in Shanghai is no easy feat. He works so hard to earn money so he can save up enough to renovate his old house as soon as possible. Once his son comes of age and gets married, his mission will be complete.

Luo Tian was completely engrossed in watching, only then realizing that it was actually a home renovation variety show. He watched as dilapidated houses were transformed into brand new homes thanks to the ingenuity of the designers.

He felt inexplicably excited.

Thanks to the designer's clever renovation, a ramp was built at the entrance to make it easier for Grandma Wang to walk, and even took into account the future need for a wheelchair. The entryway, which used to be cluttered with miscellaneous items, now has various storage spaces. A retractable shoe-changing seat and a special design for placing a cane were also added.

Even the bathroom features a built-in swivel chair and handles, allowing Grandma Wang, who has difficulty walking, to rotate into the bathtub safely and without straining her legs or back.

This design is fantastic!

Even he couldn't help but give the designer a thumbs up.

The restaurant also features extendable tables, allowing the less than 3 square meter space to accommodate Grandma Wang dining alone or with her daughter's family. The second floor is fully utilized, finally allowing her grandson to stay overnight and spend more time with his grandmother.

Seeing that Grandma Wang can finally live safely and comfortably in her new home.

Luo Tian was filled with mixed emotions; he was both touched and somewhat regretful.

He was reminded of his deceased mother, who, when she was alive, would always check the weather forecast before he left home and remind him to wear warm clothes. She would also always leave him a bowl of hot porridge when he returned home from his night shift.

Cherish the people in front of you and spend more time with them.

This is a truth we often only understand after we've lost something. Fortunately, he still has his gentle wife and adorable children by his side. He thought back to when he and his wife first met in college. Wasn't she also a beautiful young woman back then?

They stood hand in hand on the school playground.

Do you think we'll be together forever?

"Silly girl, of course I will be good to you for the rest of my life."

"Master, are you still open for business?"

Shouts came from outside the convenience store, interrupting his recollection.

"Please wait a moment, customer, but I have to leave work early today to go home."

After serving the customer, Luo Tian closed the door.

He took out his phone and opened the group chat of his loving family.

Luo Tian sent a message: "Wife, I love you. I'm coming home to find you now. Let's relive our passionate college days together today."

Luo Tian did not receive a reply from his wife for a long time.

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly saw a new message notification: "Dad, I'm in the group chat too."

Luo Tian blushed and hurriedly put his phone into his pocket.

He started his journey home on his bicycle.

Li Xiaoping is a senior in college this year.

She is about to graduate and is facing the decision of whether to stay or leave after graduation.

She was not in a good mood at the moment.

She just had a big argument with her mother about whether or not to stay and develop her career in Shanghai.

She felt she was born to live in Shanghai. However, her mother always wanted her to return to her hometown after graduation. As graduation approached, she was forced to confront this reality.

She was very annoyed at the moment, so annoyed that she started reading online novels that she didn't usually pay attention to.

She wanted to pass the time this way.

However, when she opened her phone, the articles pushed to her were all mindless novels like "Birds Fill the Courtyard," "The Son-in-Law Begins with Divorce," and "Fantasy Simulator," which didn't tempt her to open them at all.

Li Xiaoping thought to herself that she had indeed lost her mind.

Just as she was about to turn off her phone, trying to figure out how to persuade her mother, she suddenly received a video link from a college friend. It was a variety show called "The Ultimate Home Makeover King," which offers a glimpse into the myriad aspects of life.

Below are some cheesy sales pitches from my best friend, which made me cry. It's truly a high-quality variety show.

"The Ultimate Home Makeover King?" Li Xiaoping softly read out the video title.

She wanted to see what kind of video it was that her best friend praised so highly.

By the time Li Xiaoping finished reading, she was already in tears.

Lying in bed, she couldn't help but think of her grandfather who raised her.

His grandfather was a soldier, and his years of military service made him both impulsive and very frugal. He was not good with words and didn't know how to express his love.

Every time she calls her grandfather, he speaks very quickly because he thinks phone calls are expensive and doesn't want the call to last too long, making his granddaughter spend more money.

But every time they hung up, he never did it first; instead, he patiently waited for her to hang up. During those long waits of ten seconds or so, one can only imagine how much reluctance and longing he felt.

Thinking about it, she realized it had been a long time since she'd visited her grandfather. She always told him on the phone that she'd come back to see him when she had time, but she always broke her promise. This time, she decided not to wait any longer and to go straight home.

Besides, she's won over her grandfather, so he'll have her back.

What else can Mom say?

This time, we will use their own methods against them.

Let her father talk to her and persuade her. Let's see what she can do then!

Having made up her mind, Li Xiaoping bought the fastest plane ticket.

They embarked on their journey home.
