At noon, the children and their fathers meet, and at noon, everyone has a meal together, and the food is the gift of the sea.

The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, that is really not wrong at all, Li Zhengyan was stunned when he looked at the seafood boiling in the pot, crabs like this prawns are absolutely sky-high in Jiangcheng, and here, one hundred is packed and rounded.

And just by cooking it in water, it's delicious.

Li Xinxin ate a lot, if it weren't for Xia Jia's worry that Li Xinxin would have stomach trouble if she ate too much, and then stopped it in time, then this little guy could have eaten more.

After lunch, I can't take a nap today, because dad and kids have important tasks today.

The father's task is to help the grandmother repair the house, which is the kind of seaweed, while the children have to take care of the elderly who are left behind without their sons and daughters.

There is such a group of people in Xia State, they are called the left-behind people, basically the left-behind people are children and the elderly, with the rapid development of the economy, more and more rural surplus labor force to the city to work.

With the large-scale migration of peasants to work, a large number of left-behind people have appeared in rural areas, and through the survey, it is found that there are many problems and difficulties in the production and life, education and safety protection of the left-behind people in rural areas, which have seriously affected the healthy development of the rural economy. Including left-behind elderly, left-behind women, left-behind children, etc. And my country will also hold a lot of activities to care for left-behind children

The family atmosphere is missing, the spiritual life is monotonous, and the family burden is heavy. After their children went out to work, the left-behind elderly took on heavy farm work and trivial household chores. Let the old man who should enjoy his life be miserable. The decline in the physical fitness of the elderly population and the natural aging of physiology determine that the elderly need not only economic security in their later life, but also spiritual comfort.

The elderly in rural areas are accustomed to living a hard life and often do not have excessive luxury for material life, so spiritual comfort from their children is indispensable for the physical and mental health of the elderly.

Most of the elderly also rely on subsidies and selling their labor to make ends meet. Survival and nutrition are not well guaranteed. Due to the fact that the life of the left-behind elderly is not well guaranteed, the situation of "not being able to get sick, not being able to get medicine, and not treating when sick" is very common, and "resisting minor illnesses and suffering from major illnesses" is still the choice of most elderly people.

Our Director Xie noticed this a long time ago, but as a small director, he has no ability to solve such a thing, and Director Xie once watched a documentary.

In that documentary, according to the survey, after the children go out, the telephone has become the main way for the left-behind elderly to communicate with their children and the main way of spiritual comfort. In fact, some elderly people do not even have such a simple basic spiritual comfort, some children have been gone for many years but have not heard from them, and some old people even "do not know whether their children are dead or alive" because their children are not around, most of the left-behind elderly people in rural areas live a lonely life of "going out with a lonely shadow and entering the door with a lamp", and lack family warmth, making them feel lonely.

In particular, the elderly who live alone feel that sometimes they have nowhere to talk in their hearts, and they are unable to pass the time, and they are likely to have depressive symptoms and feel that life is not interesting. As they get older, it becomes more and more inconvenient for the left-behind elderly to move, and their contact with the outside world is correspondingly less and less. In addition to watching TV and chatting, the elderly basically have no other pastime, and their mental life is extremely monotonous.

The purpose of coming to Jiming Island, one is that the scenery here is very good, and the unique temperament of the sea, and the second is because Xie Zhengkui wants to do a special topic about the left-behind elderly, and he wants to use "Where Are You Going, Dad" to appeal to the country and care more about the left-behind elderly.

I hope that those young people who are working, although their lives are very stressful, please squeeze out a little time to go home to see their father and mother, in fact, their father and mother do not have many requirements for their children, just to meet.

If you really don't have time, then please call more, this is what Xie Zhengkui wants to express and want to embody.

Throughout the afternoon, the fathers repaired the house for the grandmother, and the children also tried their best to bring happiness to the grandfather and grandmother on the island, Li Xinxin's recitation, Tong Xinran's dancing, Wang Zixin's singing....!

The children's true feelings touched the grandpas and grandmothers on the island, and the grandpas and grandmothers did not let the children perform for themselves in vain.

In the evening, at the house of one of the grandparents, the grandpa and grandmother on the island worked together to serve the children a sumptuous seafood feast, braised pike crab, steamed sea rainbow, fried clams, fried prawns, scallop vermicelli, oysters, clams...!

Grandpa and grandma took out all their decades of cooking skills, and they were completely full of color, flavor, and flavor, and these delicious seafood feasts were much more than Li Zhengyan had eaten in a year....

After dinner, the children began to play games for grandpa and grandma again, what eagles catch chickens, one, two, three wooden people.... Although these games are not very complicated but very simple, the children have a lot of fun playing and the old people are very happy to watch.

That's enough for today, it's enough.

..........................

It's getting late, dad and the kids are going back to bed, and tonight is the last night for dad and the kids on Jiming Island, and although there is still time tomorrow morning, they can't stay overnight.

When she got home at night, Li Xinxin lay down in the bed and asked Li Zhengyan: "Dad.. Why aren't the sons and daughters of grandpas and grandma by their side, if it were me, I would have to be with grandpa and grandma. ”

"Hmm.... Li Zhengyan hugged Li Xinxin and replied softly: "Xinxin, it's not that the sons and daughters of grandparents don't want to be by their grandparents' side, but because the grandparents' sons and daughters have to leave their grandparents' side because they need to make money."

In this world, if you don't work hard, you will be eliminated, so the sons and daughters of those grandfathers and grandmothers have to leave their parents in order not to be eliminated. ”

Although Li Zhengyan doesn't know if Li Xinxin understands, Li Zhengyan believes that when Li Xinxin grows up, she will understand, this world is like this, there is something to give, although it is full of too much unfairness.

But no matter whether it is fair or not, there will be a return for paying, which is certain.

It's hard to work part-time, it's hard not to be around your parents, and you may not succeed if you work hard, but please don't give up, because if you work hard, you won't necessarily succeed, but if you don't work hard, you won't succeed.

The next morning, the children and their fathers were leaving, and to the surprise of the production team, although they had only been together for less than two days, the grandpa and grandmother on the island had already taken a liking to the children.

They spontaneously came to the pier to see the children off, their eyes were full of tears, the children did not know that this parting might be an eternal farewell, they waved their hands vigorously and shouted: "Goodbye grandparents and grandparents..." ”

It's just that this goodbye doesn't know if it can come true, Li Zhengyan can only pray silently, praying that these grandfathers and grandmothers can be healthy and can wait until the moment their children come back.
