Episode 6 recap: Hu Gui Lan has retired.
Chen Qing was about to go to the factory to ask the manager He Da Hai if he had been working late last night, but her friend quickly stopped her. Chen Qing then found out that He Da Hai had taken sick leave, which she found strange since he didn't seem to be sick. The girl told Chen Qing not to say anything loudly, as the manager still didn't know that He Da Hai had lied to him.
He Da Hai and Liang Zi have come to Guangzhou, and they have been greatly impressed by the city. He Da Hai thinks Liang Zi has finally settled down, but he knows Chen Qing will definitely not let him off the hook. Liang Zi tells him that he has already rented the shop in front of them, and he plans to sell clothes there. Liang Zi wants He Da Hai to help him watch the store, but He Da Hai refuses.
Chen Qing is frantically worried at home, feeling that He Da Hai is really bold to dare stay out all night. But Chen Xiao Ou thinks He Da Hai and Liang Zi are very capable, as they are the first ones to dare to venture out and try their luck. Chen Qing, however, thinks they are now just small-time profiteers, and no matter what, He Da Hai is still a government employee.
Chen Qing asks Chen Xiao Ou to come to her room, and she tells her not to stir up trouble when she scolds He Da Hai upon his return. Chen Xiao Ou tells her that it's not certain, but Chen Qing feels that what He Da Hai is doing is not the right way.
Xiao Ou asks Chen Qing what is the right way, and Chen Qing says that if you take the government's money, you have to live up to the job.
Hu Gui Lan knows that Chen Huan has gone to his uncle Fu Lai's house in the countryside. Chen's father also feels that this person, as long as he studies, will have his mind set.
Hu Gui Lan thinks that He Da Hai has been mischievous and got into fights since he was young, while Chen Huan has been steady and liked to read books since childhood. Chen Huan asks Fu Lai how things have been since the reforms, and Fu Lai feels there have been great benefits, and the villagers are now very positive about it.
The teacher asks Fu Lai what he thinks is the source of this, and Fu Lai feels it is because the policies are stable, and people's minds are at ease.
Lin Ping Ping tells Lin Yi Da that she has heard that the higher the official, the more miserable the wife. She says they better not let themselves get too comfortable in their positions, or their wives will be left out in the cold. Lin Ping Ping feels that her father became an official when he was even younger than Lin Yi Da, but he has never been unkind to Liao Qiu Qiu, and they get along very well.
Lin Ping Ping feels that it's a big deal that Zhu Qun Ying is going to night school, and Lin Yi Da is just using his own spear to pierce his own shield.
It seems that Lin Yi Da might have been found out by his sister, as he told Lin Ping Ping that he skipped breakfast and went to work.
Jing Man asked Lin Ping Ping to go sightseeing at the Great Wall, and she told Lin Ping Ping that she is going to the US. Lin Ping Ping asked if she is giving up her degree since she has only one year left, and Jing Man said that it's an opportunity arranged by her father's friend, and she'll first go to the US to build a foundation, then have Lin Ping Ping join her later.
He Da Hai brought back a refrigerator, and Hu Gui Lan asked how much it cost. He Da Hai said it was 500 yuan, but Hu Gui Lan thought it would use a lot of electricity, so she told He Da Hai to take it back.
He Da Hai said he would pay the electricity bill himself, but Hu Gui Lan questioned why he should do that. When Chen Ba came back, He Da Hai admitted he was wrong for leaving without telling anyone. Chen Ba told him not to forget about being down-to-earth and doing things properly, saying his apprentice always speaks the truth. Before Chen Ba could continue, Hu Gui Lan called them to come eat, and told He Da Hai to bring some wine for Chen Ba.
Chen Qing said he didn't feel well and they didn't need to wait for him. He Da Hai saw Chen Qing sleeping in bed and asked if he was hungry. He brought chilled apples for Chen Qing, but Chen Qing ignored him. He Da Hai said Chen Qing not eating could lead to malnutrition and aging, but at least now they have a fridge to store Chen Qing's leftovers. Hearing this, Chen Qing got up and angrily told He Da Hai to stop joking around.
Liang Zi thought Fang Xue Jun's help with the store was still not enough, and he still wanted He Da Hai to help. Pan Tao told him He Da Hai is a government official, so how could Liang Zi get him to help. Liang Zi said there are no absolutes. Chen Huan returned from the countryside investigation, Chen Qing passed the night school exam, and Hu Gui Lan retired. The whole family celebrated together.
