Most parents have gone to work in southern cities, leaving behind only the elderly and children in the village. Primary school teacher Yi Ming Tang (played by Yi Zhi Bing) cannot bear to see these kids follow in their parents' footsteps and decides to set up a family kindergarten to teach them cultural knowledge. His laid-off wife (played by He Wei Xin) becomes the principal, and middle school student Li Xiang (played by Xie Yuan) takes on the role of a teacher. Due to poor conditions, Yi Ming Tang converts his ancestral home into a place for the children's activities. After the kindergarten opens, various unexpected difficulties arise, with some families unable to afford even the low tuition fees. Tuo Tuo leaves the kindergarten due to Li Xiang's improper education, leaving Li Xiang feeling guilty and wanting to apply to a teacher training school for systematic study. When Xiu Xiu's mother returns from work, her daughter does not recognize her, and on top of that, her husband has had an affair, leading her to sadly leave her hometown. Since Yi Ming Tang does not have the qualifications to run a school, the village authorities order him to close the kindergarten. Yi Ming Tang is heartbroken, wondering what will happen to these left-behind children in the future...
