    Lin He was silent for a moment when he saw the pile of rubbish, "It may be related to the direction of the ocean current."

    They usually encounter some bottles and cans brought ashore by the tide, as well as the surfboard before, but they have never seen such a large area of marine debris.

    This side is estimated to be the direction of ocean currents, which brought and retained a lot of garbage.

    "Can you talk to the program team and find a way to clean it up together?" Xu Jianian said, looking at the camera brother with Lin He.

    Sui Sui also raised her head and waited for an answer.

    The camera brother quickly said, "Let me ask."

    In fact, there is no need to ask, the program team has long been familiar with the situation on the island.

    The director quickly called other guests here, and after everyone was surprised by the scene in front of them, he said: "As you can see, this beach is one of the gathering places for marine debris."

    "Actually, when the program team went to the island to prepare for it a few months ago, they wanted to announce the task of cleaning up this beach to everyone." The director said, "But our staff really couldn't stand it, and they were also worried about the tide.The garbage is taken to another place, and marine life eats it, so it has been cleaned once."

    Everyone was surprised, Zhang Jingchuan: "Then a few months passed, and there are so many?"

    Director: "Yes, human activities produce waste and garbage all the time, some of which are mistakenly or intentionally dumped into the sea, seriously polluting the marine environment, and at the same time causing some marine organisms to eat garbage and get sick or even die."

    The director said, and gave some examples to everyone.

    For example, some marine animals eat indigestible plastic bags by mistake, their stomachs are blocked, they cannot eat normally, and they starve to death; some accidentally swallow broken glass or sharp objects, scratch their organs, and cause diseases, etc.

    Everyone's expressions became serious.Sui Sui subconsciously held Xu Jianian's hand, and the other children also had an indescribable panic on their faces.

    Although they are often taught by parents and teachers to care for the environment and not to litter, in their childlike perspective, the world has always been beautiful, and everyone will abide by the principles taught by adults.

    Today is the first time that have faced such a cruel problem.

    Maybe starting today, the cognition of caring for the environment and not littering will be deeply engraved in their minds.

    The audience in the live broadcast room also became silent. I don't know who took the lead, and the bullet screen was filled with the sentences "I am a human being, I am sorry."

    "It's not like this, just consciously protect the environment."

    "Garbage classification starts with me."

    "+1"

    Director: "So today I'm going to give you an extra task to sort and collect the garbage on the beach, bring it back to the shore by the program team, and hand it over to the sanitation department for processing."

    All the guests nodded immediately: "No problem."

    The director added: "Because extra tasks will delay everyone's collection of materials, the program team will give everyone an 'environmental guard' allowance based on the weight of the cleaned up garbage, which can be used in the seaside market."

    "Oh!" Zhang Jingchuan tried to liven up the somewhat dull atmosphere, and joked, "It's a pity, the broken wine bottles I picked up before were directly recycled by the program crew."

    Everyone laughed. They had encountered this kind of thing a few days ago, and they seemed to be at a loss.

    The director raised his eyebrows: "Then why don't you give the subsidy at all?"

    "Don't, director!" Yang Mingye hurriedly said, "Give me some."

    "That's right, director." Fang Luchen, who didn't buy an electric fan yesterday, pushed Fang Siyu out, "The children are too hot, and I want an electric fan."

    Fang Siyu looked up at his father in shock: He never said that!

    The director just teased everyone, and continued: "The 'Environmental Guard' allowance can be received for a long time. I hope that everyone will pick up marine garbage when they see it on the island."

    "clear."

    Xu Jianian and the others brought the collected materials back to their residence. His family has a fish pond to raise some. The other three groups of guests left today's ingredients in buckets, and sold the rest to the program group.

    Xu Jianian resolutely sold the geoduck. Although he heard that it was delicious, he didn't know how to cook it and didn't want to eat it for the time being.

    After disposing of these materials, the guests came to the beach full of garbage again.

    Lin He looked around and caught a glimpse of some useful things, and said to everyone: "Everyone, pick out the things that are still usable."

    "Can it still be used?" Lu Yiwei was puzzled.

    Xu Jianian pointed to the front: "For example, if the big plastic bucket is not too damaged and there is no harmful residue in it, it can be used to raise fish."

    "That's right." Fang Lvchen was inspired, "There are also those wooden boards, which can be taken back to make tools or be used as firewood."

    "Can these bottles and cans be used to catch octopus?" Zhang Jingchuan also asked.

    Zhou Kai picked up a cuboid foam block: "This one is also good to use as a stool."

    "There is still an oar." Yan Xue said, "Our bamboo raft can be replaced by another oar."

    "Well." Lin He affirmed everyone's thoughts, "There is almost no part of the garbage here that can be naturally degraded, so we can roughly divide it into three categories: recyclable, incinerable, and hazardous waste that requires special treatment."

    "If there are recyclables that everyone thinks can be used, they should be kept first, and then brought back to the shore for processing when they leave the island."

    Everyone nodded again and again: "No problem."

    Barrage: "Boss Lin has become a leader without knowing it."

    "Garbage is resources that have been misplaced, and it's good to be able to reuse them."

    "The point is: take it back and deal with it when you wait for the outlying islands."

    As time went by, the garbage on the beach gradually divided into four piles, and there were two piles in the recyclables, one of which was found useful by everyone.

    At this time, Sui Sui picked up a glass bottle sealed with a cork and handed it to Xu Jianian: "Dad, there is a note in this bottle."

    Xu Jianian took it and frowned slightly: "It seems like a drifting bottle."

    Suisui: "Floating bottle?"

    Xu Jianian uncorked the bottle, poured out the water inside, and took out the paper slip that was soaked and limp.

    There is a string of English on the note, the handwriting has been blurred, and the few keywords that can be vaguely recognized can be inferred to be making a wish.

    Xu Jianian explained to Suisui: "It's just an unreliable rumor that if you write your wish on paper, put it in a bottle and throw it into the sea, your wish will come true."

    Suisui frowned: "Really?"

    "Fake."

    Xu Jianian threw the note and cork in the pile of incinerable garbage, and put the bottle in the recyclable garbage, "This bottle will only run aground on the beach or the bottom of the sea, or be swallowed by some animals and become something to torture them.”

    "The sea will not like this way of wishing, let alone fulfill the wish in it."

    Xu Jianian looked at him, and said persuasively: "To make a wish, you only need to make it seriously in your heart, but if you want to realize your wish, you have to work hard toward your wish."

    Sui Sui nodded thoughtfully.

    Barrage: "Speechless! What year is it, and someone still throws a drift bottle?"

    "It's a pity that the note can't be read clearly, otherwise the person who made the wish would really die."

    "My wife is right. The way to realize a wish is never a way of making a wish, but taking action to work towards your wish."

    "There is nothing free in the world, only something that can't be obtained after hard work/dog head"

    "Hahahaha poisonous."

    "It's almost there." Zhang Jingchuan patted the ashes on his gloves, "Let the program crew carry the garbage."

    Everyone spent almost half of the morning cleaning up the rubbish. The director sent staff to weigh the three piles of rubbish, which was a full 40 to 50 kilograms.

    It does not include what everyone thinks can be reused.

    "Isn't this pile of weight?" Yang Mingye asked.

    Director: "Since you plan to turn waste into treasure, it cannot be converted into a subsidy."

    Everyone: "..." You can really be more stingy director!

    Barrage: "Hahahaha, there is nothing wrong with it. Recycling waste is not considered rubbish."

    However, the guests did not expect that the director was more stingy than they imagined, and he even gave them an allowance of 2 yuan per kilogram. The four groups of families worked hard all morning, and the total was only 100 yuan.

    Everyone: "..."

    Facing the gnashing eyes of everyone, the director said bravely: "You must have never sold waste products, right? This price has far exceeded the market price, and I even collected a whole lot for you."

    Everyone: "..."

    "It's our fault that we didn't ask clearly about the standard for calculating the allowance at the beginning." Xu Jianian said, "But we can use the money to buy a sack."

    Lin He immediately agreed: "Yes, please turn off the cameras at night, Brother Camera."

    Zhang Jingchuan added: "I'll bring a stick, and the penny for the bamboo raft will be fine."

    Lu Yiwei pinched her finger bones: "I am strong."

    director:"……"

    Barrage: "Hahahahaha the director is in danger!"

    Under the pressure of the guests, the director added another 100 yuan to their accounts, an average of 50 yuan per family.

    Only then were Xu Jianian and the others reluctantly satisfied, and dragged the family home to make lunch.

    After dinner, everyone went to the seaside market with the money in the account.

    Xu Jianian found that there were more things in the market than yesterday. In addition to home appliances and previously confiscated luggage, there were also daily necessities, milk, and even a handful that were very attractive to Fang Lvchen, Zhou Kai, and Yang Mingye.The singer's guitar, as well as the paper, pencils, colored pencils and paints that made Xu Jianian's eyes shine.

    Lin He: "Want that?"

    Xu Jianian glanced at the painting tools that were more expensive than a small refrigerator, deeply aware of the sinister intentions of the program group, and shook his head: "Let's go and see the refrigerator."

    Next to him, Fang Luchen held his expensive guitar and didn't want to let go, while Lu Yiwei insisted on buying the electric fan that he didn't get yesterday, but their money didn't support them buying both.

    Lin He squatted down and bargained with the staff of the program group: "I only need drawing paper and colored pencils, not paints, how can I sell them?"

    The staff wearing sunglasses are indifferent: "Combined products are not sold alone."

    Xu Jianian also squatted down: "Then you should be cheaper."

    The staff continued to say indifferently: "No bargaining."

    Xu Jianian thought for a while, got up and said, "Forget it, I don't want it anymore."

    Lin He wanted to say something, but was pulled up by Xu Jianian.

    On the other side, Zhou Kai and Yang Mingye also fell in love with the guitar, and wanted to intercept Fang Lvchen who didn't have enough money.

    "Teacher Fang." Xu Jianian and Lin He took the time to pass, "Actually, the program team specially prepared this, just because they want you to give everyone a good job, right?"

    Fang Luchen paused, and suddenly realized: "That's right." He looked at the staff, "It's cheaper, otherwise we won't buy it."

    Zhou Kai reacted: "Yes, if you want money or the effect of the show, you can figure it out."

    The staff choked: "Then get a 20% discount, 420."

    Fang Luchen shook his head: "The 20% discount is still too expensive. We are here to survive, and we can't afford such expensive entertainment facilities."

    Staff: "Then how much did you say?"

    Fang Luchen: "Fifty, add another ten yuan, and sell me the ukulele together."

    staff member:"……"

    Barrage: "Hahahahaha, I broke a bone, why don't you go grab Teacher Fang?"

    "My wife is right. You need the guest to work, and you also need to collect money from the guest. How can this work?"

    Yang Mingye wanted to raise the price and snatch the guitar.

    Lu Yiwei immediately gave him a hand: "Our two families each contribute twenty-five, and we take turns."

    Yang Mingye's eyes lit up: "No problem, sister!"

    Zhang Jingchuan brought Yan Xue and Zhang Yueyan over to join in the fun: "I can also play a little guitar. I'll pay ten yuan to buy it and practice a few times."

    staff member:"……"

    Barrage: "Hahahaha, Sister Lu will still live."

    "A seller's market instantly becomes a buyer's market."

    At this time, Xu Jianian, who had successfully "fanned the flames", returned to the booth selling painting tools, "Twenty-five, do you want to sell?"

    staff member:"……"

    Xu Jianian: "Anyway, this thing can't be eaten or used. Everyone's money is tight. I don't think anyone is interested except me. Are you right?"

    The staff held back for a long time, finally got the director's instruction, and hurriedly said: "OK, OK, I'll sell it to you."

    Seeing this, Fang Luchen immediately said to the staff, "Look, it's all sold over there. If you don't sell it, we won't be able to sell it for fifty."

    Zhou Kai smiled slightly and said, "Thirty, save some money to buy appliances."

    "Fifty is fifty!" The staff handed the guitar over, "Take it, take it."

    Zhang Jingchuan offered ten yuan, Zhou Kai and Fang Luchen each gave twenty yuan, and the latter gave ten yuan more to buy both the guitar and the ukulele.

    Xu Jianian did not buy a refrigerator in the end. Although the money was just enough, it felt a bit unnecessary.

    Finally, bought a light bulb, a kettle, and a water filter element, which will make lighting and cooking water more convenient in the future.

    The other three groups of families also chose what they wanted, and kept the rest of the money. One day they didn't want to get up early to catch the sea, and they could use it to buy ingredients.

    In the afternoon, Lin He and several male guests went to cut down two trees and built a single-plank bridge by the stream.

    It is said to be a single-plank bridge, but in order to ensure that adults and children can pass safely, it is still paved with four tree trunks to a width of 70 to 80 centimeters, and placed in a place where the stream is narrow.

    The two ends of the trunk are rammed into the soil on both sides to prevent it from rolling or being washed away by the current, and a small bridge is built.

    Both adults and children have tried it, and it is quite stable.

    Just after crossing the bridge, Xu Jianian's family of three went to water the saplings they had planted before.

    "We'll pick two coconuts later, kill the chicken at night, roast half of it, cook coconut chicken and seafood soup with the other half." On the way back, Xu Jianian led Suisui by the hand, discussing the evening menu with Lin He.

    "Yeah." Lin He walked on the other side of Suisui with a bucket in his hand, "I'll cut down two trees later, and then kill chickens when I come back."

    Xu Jianian was slightly surprised: "Cut down trees again?"

    Lin He looked at him: "I promised to make you a bed, and I happen to be free today."

    Xu Jianian curled the corners of his lips: "Do you need my help?"

    Lin He: "No, just wait and sleep."

    With a smile in his eyes, Xu Jianian pretended to be distressed: "Now our task of planting trees has increased."

    Lin He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll plant it."

    Xu Jianian laughed and waved to him, "Come here."

    Lin He didn't understand, so he went around to Xu Jianian's side, "What's wrong?"

    Xu Jianian spread his palms towards him, "I want to hold you."

    Lin He was slightly stunned, and changed the bucket in his hand to the other side, freed the hand that was next to Xu Jianian, and clasped his fingers between his fingers, interlocking with his.

    Looking up at Xu Jianian again, they looked at each other and smiled.

    Sui Sui, who was held by Xu Jianian on the other side, looked at the hands of the two of them, and secretly bent his eyes and smiled.

    Gradually the westward sun puts a golden edge on the cotton-like clouds. The family holds hands and walks towards home, and the voice of talking is carried far away by the sea breeze.

    "Why don't you kill the chicken first, I want to marinate it before roasting it."

    "Okay, then I'll cut down the tree later."
