Episode 8 recap: Peng Jin Xi strives to become a millionaire.
Peng Jin Xi held Luo Hong in the room while secretly watching Sun Shu Fen and Peng Jin Xiu. Peng Jin Xi said that in the future, he wants to buy a big house to live in so that no one will disturb them. Sun Shu Fen and Peng Jin Xiu went out and deliberately asked if they wanted to bring anything.
Luo Shi Fu never wanted his daughter to marry Peng Jin Xi, so he made three excessive demands. Peng Jin Xi could reluctantly accept the first two, but the third one was particularly difficult. Luo Shi Fu demanded that the entire Peng family come and apologize to him, especially Peng's mother standing in the middle, and all the Peng family members bowing down to apologize to him, in order to avenge the incident where Peng Jin Xiu scolded him unconscious last time.
Peng Jin Xi's expression changed, and he didn't intend to mention the matter again. As soon as Peng Jin Xi left, Luo Hong started arguing with Luo Shi Fu, stubbornly saying that she wouldn't go to college anymore. Peng Jin Xi saw the news about the first millionaire published in the newspaper and suddenly came up with an idea.
He wrote a letter to Luo Hong and asked Luo Xian to deliver it on his behalf. In the letter, Peng Jin Xi said that he wanted to become the first millionaire in the county, which would finally surpass Luo Shi Fu's second condition of making him the director of a state-owned factory. Peng Jin Xi and his family made a big promise that he would definitely become a millionaire.
Afterward, he worked hard to make swimming trunks, but at that time, it was really difficult to earn money. He wanted to save up ten thousand yuan, but he didn't know how many swimming trunks he had to sell. However, every time he saw the letter Luo Hong wrote to him, Peng Jin Xi's determination would be instantly reignited. Time quickly passed, and it was already 1982. After Luo Hong graduated from college, she worked in education and earned a decent income by tutoring students.
Peng Jin Xi still stayed up late making swimming trunks. He exchanged a few words with his older brother and sister-in-law, asking them to go back to sleep while he continued working. Luo Hong saved all the money she earned from her job and accumulated two hundred yuan.
She wanted to go out and find Peng Jin Xi, but not only did Luo Shi Fu not allow it, he also lay across the doorway, determined to prevent his daughter from stepping out of the house. Then he sat in the living room to prevent her from sneaking out.
Since that plan failed, Luo Hong looked towards the window. Eventually, she secretly climbed out of the window and ran to the beach to find Peng Jin Xi, who was selling swimming trunks. Peng Jin Xi didn't want the two hundred yuan she had earned through hard work, but Luo Hong insisted that they should face difficulties together, as equals.
While Peng Jin Xi and Luo Hong were chatting, Peng Jin Xi suddenly fainted, and no matter how loudly Luo Hong called his name, he wouldn't wake up. Luo Hong was extremely worried and took him to the hospital, luckily there was nothing serious, just excessive fatigue. Luo Hong secretly took some ginseng from Luo Shi Fu and cooked it for Peng Jin Xi to drink.
The next day, Peng Jin Xi woke up. After drinking a lot of ginseng soup, he felt a surge of energy. He hugged Luo Hong, but Sun Shu Fen and Peng Jin Xiu ruined the moment. Luo Hong returned home and found that the door was locked and she couldn't get in. She knocked on the door, but there was no response. Luo Shi Fu heard it but refused to open the door.
He didn't even want to use that ginseng, but his daughter took it and gave it to Peng Jin Xi, how could he not be angry? Luo Hong knocked on the door for a while but then stopped. She used a tree branch to jam the latch of the door. Later, Luo Shi Fu became worried about his daughter and asked Luo Xian to open the door. The two of them went to chase after Luo Hong. Luo Shi Fu tried to persuade her to break up with Peng Jin Xi, but obviously, it wasn't an easy task.
The Peng family saw the potential in Luo Hong. They started working hard to make swimsuits in shifts. Peng Jin Xi saw the female models in the magazines wearing trendy and innovative swimsuits. He bought a calendar from the magazine to show his family. Peng's mother didn't notice anything special, Peng Jin Dong was too absorbed in looking at the beautiful models, and Sun Shu Fen clearly didn't grasp Peng Jin Xi's intention. Only Peng Jin Xiu remained.
Peng Jin Xiu also didn't know what her second brother wanted her to notice. It was only then that Peng Jin Xi revealed the answer. He said that the swimsuits worn by the models were made with very little fabric, and if they made such swimsuits, they could save a lot of costs.
