Episode 3 recap: Liu and Zhao families join forces to run homestays.
After Liu Neng's son returned for the Lunar New Year, his father started complaining about the homestays. The son acted as a mediator and suggested talking to Uncle Si to understand his father's bottom line. Liu Neng still wanted more than Zhao Si, and once his son understood this, he planned to have a proper conversation with Zhao Si.
Li Yin Ping visited Bai Qingping early in the morning. Bai Qingping had indeed consumed a lot of alcohol and didn't expect yesterday's troubles to end up with her being sent back home. In fact, Bai Qingping was still upset about her father's comment on her social status. Li Yin Ping comforted Bai Qingping.
Zhao Si was eating an apple with a spoon and was teased by his wife. Liu Neng mentioned he had a toothache, so he could only eat a little at a time. Liu Neng's son, Hong Xu, sought help from Liu Yishui and hoped he could come as a mediator on behalf of the village committee. Hong Xu also took the initiative to pay a New Year visit to Zhao Si and then brought up the issue of shares. Hong Xu gave money to Zhao Si, essentially bribing him to avoid conflicts with Liu Neng, and Zhao Si agreed.
After returning, Hong Xu informed Liu Neng about the successful negotiation, but Liu Neng was unaware that Hong Xu had also contributed fifty thousand yuan of his own. Liu Neng had always wanted to maintain a superior position over Zhao Si, unaware of the plot twist involving money. However, Zhao Si was quite pleased.
Wang Musheng woke up and told everyone about a dream he had the previous night, in which he saw everyone. Wang Musheng mentioned a little girl who approached him, reminding him of Ding Ning. After all, Ding Ning's departure had left him deeply saddened. Soon, everyone gathered at the village committee to prepare for a meeting. Liu Neng arrived late, and Xie Guang Kun sarcastically commented on his tardiness.
Du Xiao Shuang mentioned that everyone was doing well now. Xie Teng Fei took his younger siblings out to play in the snow, but ended up getting their clothes wet. Many people in the village shared their gains and losses from the previous year, hoping for a better year ahead. Wang Xiaomeng intended to discuss the tofu factory matter, but Xie Guang Kun interrupted and Liu Neng criticized Xie Guang Kun for interrupting when it was Wang Xiaomeng's turn to speak.
Du Xiao Shuang suggested that Wang Xiaomeng should consider online sales for the tofu factory to further improve their development. Once again, Xie Guang Kun interrupted.
As for the matter of Zhao Yutian's flower nursery, Zhao Yutian asked Liu Neng to answer on his behalf. Liu Neng was quite happy about it and mentioned that they plan to collaborate with the Liu and Zhao families to create a special homestay next year. They would report the specific plans to Du Xiao Shuang once they were finalized. Zhang Zhong Wei also expressed full support for any requests from Du Xiao Shuang. Wang Yun received a call from Old Wang and learned that his grandmother was sick and they needed to stay here for a long time to take care of her. They needed someone to temporarily take over the clinic, and Wang Yun agreed.
Coincidentally, she saw Xie Guang Kun's wife and grandson at the clinic and found out that Old Wang hadn't been there recently, which was troublesome. After the meeting, everyone started to prepare to leave. Wang Xiaomeng and her husband asked Xie Guang Kun to take a ride back, but Xie Guang Kun was unsure if he had upset them by interrupting earlier, so he felt hesitant about accepting the ride. However, Wang Xiao Meng insisted that he get in the car, and Xie Guang Kun finally agreed.
Wang Xiao Meng received a call from her mother-in-law and learned that her youngest daughter was sick, so she planned to go back and check on her. Wang Yun also informed Du Xiao Shuang that Xie Guang Kun and Old Wang wouldn't be returning for a while. The child was running a fever, and Xie Guang Kun complained again about Wang Shiyou going home for the Lunar New Year. Wang Xiao Meng had to deal with company matters, so she left first.
When Liu Neng returned home, he told his wife that the discussion went very smoothly. His wife asked about signing the contract, and Liu Neng felt confident that there would be no issues. When Zhao Si returned home, his wife criticized him for wearing someone else's clothes and a summer hat. Zhao Si always had his reasons, and his wife didn't know what to say.
The hotel security guards were still building snowmen and even put Song Xiaofeng's picture on one of them. Song Xiaofeng happened to come by and kicked one of his subordinates. Song Xiaofeng pretended to praise them but actually asked them to make another hundred snowmen. Just when everyone was feeling annoyed, Song Xiaofeng received a call from Song Qinglian asking him to return immediately.
After Song Xiaofeng returned, he discovered that his child had hit their head. It turned out that a guest had arrived, so Song Qinglian was taking care of the guest when the child accidentally fell. Li Jingwen informed everyone that they had made a decision to keep the child.
