> Octogenarian, and The 90S Recap
Ye Xiaomei asks Jin Li to fulfill his promise and return the fifty thousand yuan. Jin Li promises to give Ye Xiaomei 500,000 yuan as a dowry when she gets married. Ye Xiaomei, in a fit of pique, insists on pestering him for money every day. Jin Li wishes Ye Xiaomei would cling to him every day. Ye Xiaomei is so angry she's speechless, so she has to ask Jin Li for help with food delivery.
Ye Xiaomei drunkenly returns to the nursing home. Uncle Zhang quickly opens the door, wanting to take her back to her room. Ye Xiaomei insists on stumbling back by herself. Guo Sanshuang is bored in his room. Ye Xiaomei suddenly shows up to demand an explanation, complaining that he didn't call or text her. Guo Sanshuang loudly protests his innocence, saying he made countless calls, but Ye Xiaomei never answered. Ye Xiaomei then realizes her phone was off.
Ye Xiaomei collapses drunkenly on Guo Sanshuang's bed. Guo Sanshuang takes the opportunity to report about losing the tricycle. Ye Xiaomei no longer pursues the matter; she has already asked Jin Li for help with food delivery. Guo Sanshuang wants to join that company and work in Zhuhai for a few months. Ye Xiaomei disagrees. The next morning, Ye Xiaomei wakes up groggily, finding herself sleeping on Guo Sanshuang's bed. Guo Sanshuang explains repeatedly.
Ye Xiaomei then realizes she had taken off her clothes and slept there last night. She is so ashamed she wants to disappear, and quickly pushes Guo Sanshuang out to change clothes. The elderly residents gather at the door to watch the commotion. Guo Sanshuang is unable to defend himself. Guo Jiangdong reminds Guo Sanshuang not to repeat his father Guo Tielin's mistakes. Ye Xiaomei, after changing clothes, calmly walks out of Guo Sanshuang's room.
The elderly residents look at each other in confusion. Jin Li recharges 100,000 yuan to the fresh cold chain company. The company sends a large truckload of food items. The vegetables are fresh and individually packed in specialized preservation boxes. Wu Hui worries the price is too expensive. Ye Xiaomei advises her not to worry. Guo Sanshuang comes to bid farewell to Ye Xiaomei. Ye Xiaomei doesn't allow him to leave.
Just then, Jin Li proactively visits Ye Xiaomei, showing concern for her and giving her the latest model bag. Ye Xiaomei is unmoved. Jin Li just wants her to say "Thank you, Mom." Ye Xiaomei avoids the topic, promising to pay him back when she has money. Jin Li decides to take over the nursing home, letting Ye Xiaomei focus on comic creation, and also promises to help him with packaging and promotion.
Ye Xiaomei then realizes that the online likes were all arranged by him with money. Jin Li admits this without hesitation. Ye Xiaomei clearly states that her dream is to fulfill Lin Sufen's dying wish. Jin Li doesn't force her. Ye Xiaomei refuses to accept the bag Jin Li gave her. Jin Li tells her to return it for money and put the money in the nursing home. Guo Sanshuang takes Ye Xiaomei to eat at a popular internet-famous restaurant.
They waited a long time to get a table. Guo Sanshuang gives all the beef balls to Ye Xiaomei. He again proposes going to Zhuhai to work for a few months. Ye Xiaomei firmly disagrees, worried that he might go back to his old ways. Guo Sanshuang then takes out the company's detailed introduction. Ye Xiaomei thinks it's a legitimate company, so she reluctantly agrees to let him try.
Guo Sanshuang had wanted Ye Xiaomei to continue to keep him, and he feels very disappointed. Today is the day Guo Sanshuang goes to Zhuhai. He and his friend arrive at the airport early. Ye Xiaomei is late to see him off, and also calls Guo Sanshuang to inform him. Guo Sanshuang is very disappointed. He asks Ye Xiaomei to help take care of Guo Jiangdong, then boards the plane without looking back.
Ye Xiaomei sends a photo of Guo Sanshuang's back at that moment. Guo Sanshuang then realizes she was hiding nearby, and his heart blossoms with joy. He sends a message asking Ye Xiaomei to wait for him to return. Ye Xiaomei works diligently at the nursing home every day. Her days pass peacefully and comfortably. She draws portraits of every elderly resident in the nursing home and then posts them on their doors.
Guo Tielin drives a Mercedes-Benz to the nursing home to visit his father Guo Jiangdong. Gatekeeper Uncle Zhang stops him, asking him to register according to regulations. Later, he finds that Guo Jiangdong's records do not mention this son at all. He suspects Guo Tielin is selling insurance or promoting nutrition bottles. Guo Tielin tries every possible explanation, but Uncle Zhang simply doesn't listen. Guo Tielin had already inquired and confirmed that both Guo Jiangdong and Guo Sanshuang live there.
Uncle Zhang firmly refuses to let him in. Guo Tielin has no choice but to call his superior leader, asking the leader to call the director of the nursing home. Guo Sanshuang reports his itinerary to Ye Xiaomei countless times every day. Ye Xiaomei is greatly bothered by it. Wu Hui receives a call from her superior leader and reports to Ye Xiaomei about Guo Tielin visiting Guo Jiangdong.
Ye Xiaomei calls Guo Sanshuang to confirm, but he is constantly on the phone. Ye Xiaomei rushes to Guo Jiangdong to confirm. Guo Jiangdong only asks her to relay two sentences to Guo Tielin. Guo Jiangdong doesn't acknowledge Guo Tielin as his son and tells him to "go back to where he came from." Ye Xiaomei comes to the door to meet Guo Tielin. She conceals Guo Jiangdong's first sentence, only relaying the second sentence.
She repeatedly clarifies that Guo Jiangdong's records do not mention this son. Guo Tielin doesn't get angry. He leaves several large boxes of fruit and tonics for Guo Jiangdong and then leaves. Wu Hui advises Ye Xiaomei to tell Guo Sanshuang the truth. Ye Xiaomei doesn't want Guo Sanshuang to worry. That evening, Ye Xiaomei records the story of Guo Jiangdong and Guo Tielin in comic form. She calls Guo Sanshuang late into the night.
Guo Sanshuang is drinking with clients and is already dead drunk. He never answers the phone. Ye Xiaomei then comes alone to that internet-famous restaurant. She sees Guo Tielin eating noodles alone there. Ye Xiaomei proactively greets him and recommends the specialty beef balls to him. Guo Tielin immediately orders a portion.
