In the 1950s, at a remote small train station in the country, there was a group of people: the old stationmaster nicknamed “Old Solution” (Zhao Ziyue), who was experienced in work and life and could handle almost all the affairs of the station and the nearby commune; the old station attendant known as “Old Pocket Watch” (Tian Lie), who was about to retire but was reluctant to do so, and was very worried about the young colleague coming to take over his job; the station attendant “Qin Broadcast” (Chen Zhijian), who managed employee welfare and, true to his name, broadcasted headlines all day long; and a porter nicknamed “Little Invention” (Cao Changhuan), who loved to tinker with small creations in his spare time. He was secretly planning with his sister Tie Ying (Li Changle) to build a small power station by the river so that the station and the commune could use electricity, all while keeping it a secret from “Old Solution.” Additionally, there was a woman team leader from the production team nearby known as “Fat Captain” (Ling Yuan), who had liked “Old Solution” for a long time, but neither of them had the courage to confess their feelings.
Duan Zhigao (Han Fei), a young teacher from the former railway vocational school, was to take over “Old Pocket Watch's” shift. With high enthusiasm for his new job, the bookish Duan Zhigao made many blunders due to his lack of experience, frustrating “Old Pocket Watch,” who shook his head and sighed in discontent. However, “Old Solution” valued his enthusiasm and believed that with time, he would achieve great things. — Indeed, as “Old Solution” predicted, Duan Zhigao helped “Little Invention” and Tie Ying significantly in the construction of the power station.
Before long, “Old Solution” learned about the plan for the power station, and everyone expected him to be angry. To their surprise, he praised it enthusiastically. When he discovered that “everything was ready except for a generator,” figuring out how to obtain a generator became his top priority. After hearing Duan Zhigao’s proposal, “Old Pocket Watch” also changed his opinion of him. In the middle of the night, “Old Solution” muttered to himself about the generator, which was misunderstood by “Qin Broadcast” through the wall as “Fat Captain.” The next day, he couldn’t wait to announce this big news to “Fat Captain.” Coincidentally, “Old Solution” was just about to ask “Fat Captain” to borrow a generator. Their subsequent encounter was hilarious. Meanwhile, Duan Zhigao and Tie Ying, spending time together day and night, unknowingly developed feelings for each other.
