Episode 4 recap: Song Xiao Feng reluctantly resigned from the villa.
Song Fu Gui entrusted the affairs of the homestay to Song Xiao Feng, but Song Xiao Feng still had responsibilities at the villa. Song Fu Gui thought it would be better for Song Xiao Feng to come back since the income from the homestay was their own. However, Song Xiao Feng didn't want to let down the people at the villa and decided to consider it. This made Song Fu Gui very angry, and he raised his voice, which scared the child and made them cry.
Wang Xiao Meng is very busy at the factory now. His mother suggested that they should come back early because the children come back very late every day, and they can't have dinner on time. Wang Xiao Meng is also sensible and quickly toasted Xie Guang Kun and his mother. Xie Guang Kun still wants Wang Xiao Meng to find a nanny as soon as possible because the children's well-being is the most important thing now. Wang Xiao Meng said he's already looking for one.
Da Zhuang asked Zhang Zhong Wei to convey the spirit of the village meeting to everyone. Zhang Zhong Wei also mentioned that the villa needs to select a representative to recruit people. In the end, they decided to send Song Xiao Feng, but Song Xiao Feng said he couldn't handle the position at the moment and needed to take a leave of absence.
Initially, Da Zhuang thought it would be a few days of leave, but he didn't expect Song Xiao Feng to request such a long leave. Zhang Zhong Wei thought it was unrealistic since the villa is a formal company, and it's highly unlikely for Song Xiao Feng to take a leave without pay. Da Zhuang disagreed with Song Xiao Feng quitting and allowed him to come anytime he wanted.
Song Xiao Feng was deeply touched by their kindness, but he reluctantly left, leaving everyone confused. Currently, Wang Yun mainly helps Xie Da Jiao manage the shop. Now, Lao Huang has also gone back with Xie Da Jiao, but the clinic cannot be left unattended.
Coincidentally, they learned from the villagers that Wang Fu Gui's wife is pregnant, and he wants to take over Lao Huang's position as the doctor at the clinic. Wang Yun and her husband are hoping for their help and recommendation. Wang Yun initially didn't want to agree and said she would consider it. Bai Qing Ming called his mother and asked for advice. His mother gave him a lot of advice and also inquired about his relationship with Li Yin Ping. Bai Qing Ming said they're getting closer, but he's currently tight on money, so he hopes to buy a new house.
His mother readily agreed to sell their large house in the city, which would give them a sum of money. Bai Qing Ming felt a bit embarrassed. Liu Da Nao heard about Li Jing Wen's pregnancy and felt envious. He thought there must be a problem since Wang Yun hasn't gotten pregnant. In fact, Wang Yun was pregnant before, but she had a miscarriage accidentally. However, it has been many years since she last got pregnant.
After learning that Song Xiao Feng had left, Ping Di Zi realized that he might become the vice president in the future. Currently, Ping Di Zi is just the captain of the security team, so Zhang Zhong Wei thinks he is being delusional. Liu Da Nao actually desires to have a child in his heart and later searches online for the best age to have a child.
Bai Qing Ming told Li Yin Ping about his mother selling the house and giving them the money to build their own house. Now they can get married smoothly, and Li Yin Ping is very happy. They are not married yet, so Bai Qing Ming can only drop off Li Yin Ping and then return home.
Ping Di Zi changed into a suit and took on the appearance of a vice president, commanding his subordinates. Although Ping Di Zi hasn't become the vice president yet, his way of speaking already resembles that of a vice president. Wang Xiao Meng is still working late at night. In fact, she wants to establish a branch factory as soon as possible because they have a responsibility to progress together with the villagers of Ivory Mountain.
However, there is no guarantee for the supply of their raw material, soybeans. To secure the supply, they need to invest ten million. It would be great if they could find investors, but finding suitable investors is not easy. After Wang Xiao Meng finishes work and returns home, Xie Guang Kun complains about something. He always feels that his words don't hold any weight at home. He keeps talking about finding a nanny and demands that it be done immediately.
Upon learning that Wang Xiao Meng wants to find investors, Bai Qing Ming calls his mother and suggests using the money from selling the house for investment. His mother supports him. Wang Xiao Meng goes back to the room and tells her husband about finding a nanny. In reality, Xie Guang Kun wants to hire a nanny not only for the children but also to take care of the two elderly parents.
Zhang Zhong Wei receives a call from his parents asking him to go on a blind date. Zhang Zhong Wei says he's too busy, but his parents suggest that the girl can come to their place. However, Zhang Zhong Wei says he already has someone he's interested in.
From Village One to Village Sixteen, I feel like the original rural romantic comedy has become more and more off-track. More characters are being added, some main characters have become marginalized, and forced romantic storylines are being introduced.
The conflicts are also becoming more far-fetched. Actually, they could have created a new drama with the same cast, and I would still support it. Just don't let the rural romance lose its original flavor.
