Episode 26 recap: Zhang Gui Rong is suspected of having cancer.
The doctor suspects that Zhang Gui Rong has cancer. Zhang Gui Rong suddenly brought up that one day when Xiaocheng and Dazhi are both available, they should take a family photo together. Xiaocheng feels that Zhang Gui Rong has been acting a bit strange lately, as she has been coughing frequently but has not told Dazhi what is wrong.
Chen Xin Cheng received a call informing him that Zhang Gui Rong has even started coughing up blood. Likely feeling that her time is running short, Zhang Gui Rong has started worrying about Dazhi and Xiaocheng's relationship, hoping they can hurry up and make it official, which makes Xiaocheng a bit embarrassed to hear.
Zhang Gui Rong changes the topic to talk about an advertisement, and then tells Xiaocheng to go focus on her work. During dinner, Zhang Gui Rong wants Chen Xin Cheng to fulfill his promise and take her to take wedding photos, but Chen Xin Cheng feels he is too old and doesn't want to bother, not even wanting to take a family photo.
Zhang Gui Rong is very dejected, not saying much but also losing her appetite. She takes Chen Xin Cheng's pillow outside, saying it's to prevent her coughing from disturbing him at night. Chen Xin Cheng, used to Zhang Gui Rong taking care of him all his life, doesn't show any concern and doesn't even agree to the suggestion of retaking wedding photos.
Zhang Gui Rong is worried that after she's gone, Chen Xin Cheng won't be able to cook, so she starts teaching him how to cook. But Chen Xin Cheng hasn't cooked in 60 years and has no intention to learn, thinking he can just rely on Zhang Gui Rong, which upsets her greatly.
After finishing the advertisement shoot, Zhang Gui Rong inquires about the fees and says she wants to borrow some money from her son, promising to pay him back later. Dazhi agrees, also feeling that Xiaocheng's observations about his mother's strange behavior lately are valid. Dazhi calls Chen Xin Cheng to ask, but doesn't get much out of him.
After analyzing the situation, the young people suspect that Zhang Gui Rong has fallen victim to a telecom fraud, as a colleague had just accompanied her to the bank. They rush around trying to find Zhang Gui Rong.
Finally, they found her in the coffee shop, but she was actually managing her finances and had not been scammed.
The mother's abnormal behavior made Dazhi increasingly suspicious, and at this time, Zhang Guirong coughed up blood again. Dazhi quickly took her to the hospital for a checkup and also notified Chen Xin Cheng. When Chen Xin Cheng arrived at the hospital, he immediately started blaming Dazhi, accusing him of overworking Zhang Guirong and causing her to cough up blood.
The father and son argued at the hospital, but were stopped by Zhang Guirong. Sun Qianchen informed Xiao Changqing of the bad news, and they went to the hospital together. Chen Xin Cheng and Dazhi went in to hear the doctor's report on Zhang Guirong's condition, but they never expected that Zhang Guirong might have cancer and would need further examination.
To avoid worrying Zhang Guirong, Chen Xin Cheng and his son pretended it was just pneumonia. However, Chen Xin Cheng was very caring towards Zhang Guirong, which she had already noticed. She then asked him to go home and get his pajamas, and then told her son Dazhi to tell the truth.
In fact, she was aware that her mother-in-law and brother-in-law both died from this disease, so it was not surprising that it was now her turn. Sun Qianchen and Xiao Changqing were both very worried about Chen Xin Cheng and his son, as they had just reconciled and now they were arguing again.
However, Chen Xin Cheng should not have work on his mind now, so Xiao Changqing and Sun Qianchen will have to handle the community affairs together. After Chen Xin Cheng brought the clothes to the hospital, the doctor called him and Dazhi over and said they highly suspected Zhang Guirong had a malignant tumor, but it was not yet confirmed. They would need to perform a small surgery to take a tissue sample for a biopsy the next day to determine the diagnosis.
Zhang Guirong asked Chen Xin Cheng to go buy dumplings again, and then asked her son directly about her condition. Dazhi couldn't act, but he also didn't dare to tell the truth. Zhang Guirong no longer pressed him, pretending she didn't know, so Chen Xin Cheng wouldn't worry too much.
Chen Xin Cheng bought a bunch of ingredients and started making dumplings, following a book. Luckily, Sun Qianchen and Xiao Changqing helped, otherwise the dumplings wouldn't have been made properly by tomorrow. Xia Mingzhou also came and washed his hands to help make the dumplings together.
