Episode 2 recap: Deng Li Jun's musical talents will be highlighted.
Zhou Min dresses up elaborately every day to go out, and sometimes her husband can barely have a conversation with her at home. The government is well-intentioned and hopes to help the neighbor, but ends up being criticized by Zhou Min. Zhou Min never chats with women of similar age, but she becomes the subject of their gossip afterwards. Zhou Min dresses up very nicely every day, making people wonder if she's going somewhere, but it turns out she's just simply going to the Commander's residence to cook for the old lady.
The old lady naturally understands Zhou Min's ulterior motive - she wants to leverage those connections for herself. When Zhou Min returns home, she finds someone sending gifts to her husband, which makes her very angry. After the couple returns home, they have a big argument. Zhou Min thinks her husband is good-for-nothing, while the husband complains that Zhou Min has not given him a son, which is distressing for the children to witness their parents fighting.
Deng Li Jun's mother also plans to send gifts to the Deng family, but her husband thinks it's unnecessary. However, the mother still tries to find Zhou Min's husband in hopes of getting a housing transfer, but he says it's beyond his abilities. Afterwards, Deng Li Jun's mother takes the children to the Deng family's former residence, hoping to move in soon even though it doesn't belong to them yet.
At night when the children are asleep, Deng Li Jun's father starts writing in his diary, but Deng Li Jun is still awake and brings him a cup of tea. Knowing her father is doing homework, Deng Li Jun obediently sits beside him and sings the songs he has sung before.
With the rainy season approaching and the constant roof leaks, Deng Shu, Deng Li Jun's father, plans to re-repair the roof in advance, since he can't really help much otherwise. Sergeant Deng also gets a haircut, and Deng Shu brings his colleague over for a haircut too, as they have a blind date later.
Soon, Deng Shu represents his colleague's family to meet the woman for the blind date. The woman's brother looks quite fierce and immediately asks if Deng Shu plans to return to Sichuan, his hometown. Deng Shu, fearing the date will fall through, quickly steps in to smooth things over.
However, the colleague had also fallen for their own blind date match, so they quickly served the food for her. When Zhou Min was organizing her clothes, she saw her husband come back, and she also said that Deng Shu had not even reported to the leader. Since that's the case, the wife planned to return the things, not only to not keep them but also to explain it clearly to them.
Duan Litian felt this was inappropriate, and the two had a disagreement. During their argument, they accidentally discovered that the tea leaf lid had fallen to the ground and opened, and they found that there was only half a leaf of tea inside. Zhou Min still went to tell Deng Lijun's mother about this matter, but it did not work out, because Deng Shu had not filed the report, and Zhou Min had also opened the half-bag of tea leaves, but Deng Lijun's mother still refused to believe it.
At this time, you came out with the half-bag of tea leaves, and the mother thought her daughter had stolen the tea leaves, so she grabbed a feather duster and chased after her. Deng Lijun heard the sound of a song playing on the radio and stopped in her tracks. At this time, Deng Shu also returned and scolded his wife, and the wife was also very angry, after all, they had agreed that he would file the report, but he did nothing, and the husband had nothing to say.
After the couple had a big argument, Deng Lijun's mother started packing to leave. The neighbor next door saw this and cursed Deng Shu harshly. Deng Shu also realized he had spoken too harshly, so he went to apologize to his wife proactively. At this time, the wife was at the bus station, and she also felt very wronged. No matter where the government went, he would always follow, and even though it was a faraway place no one knew, he still bullied her.
As Deng Shu was talking, he suddenly remembered his mother, and he started to cry too. In the end, it was the wife comforting him.
