> Resumos de Dream of Golden Years
After returning to her hometown for the New Year, Liu Fen finds herself the target of persistent and unwanted matchmaking attempts. Fellow villagers, hoping to profit from her success in Shengcheng, try to push unsuitable men upon her. Ms. Tian is particularly aggressive, attempting to match Liu Fen with her brother-in-law, a notorious alcoholic who beat his former wife. Granny Yu, losing her patience with the harassment, splashes a basin of water over the pests to drive them away.
Xiaolan steps in to politely but firmly inform the neighbors that they have settled in Shengcheng and no longer require the village's help in such matters. To give back to the community, Liu Yong works with the village chief to recruit workers for his renovation team.
During a gathering at the Liu home, he explains that while the work is hard, the pay is fair, ranging from ten to eighteen yuan a day depending on skill level, with train tickets provided. The village chief, grateful for the opportunity Yong is providing, promises to keep the meddling matchmakers at bay so the family can enjoy a peaceful holiday. As the family prepares a large meal for the potential recruits, Xiaolan notices Granny Yu repeatedly checking her watch.
Her wait ends when Tang Hong'en arrives unannounced. The village chief immediately recognizes him and becomes exceptionally deferential, addressing him as Mayor Tang, though Tang insists on being called "Comrade Tang" to keep the atmosphere casual. He joins the family for the meal, gratefully accepting the mutton soup Granny Yu had specifically prepared for his arrival. Granny Yu later reveals to Xiaolan that she invited Tang Hong'en specifically to silence the villagers.
By showing them a man of his stature and character, she intended to raise the bar so high that no one would dare suggest a mediocre match for Liu Fen again. After the villagers depart, Tang Hong'en is characteristically direct with Liu Fen. He points out that they are both single and compatible in age and personality, proposing that they begin dating with the serious intention of marriage.
Liu Fen, feeling the weight of their social and educational differences, asks to speak with him alone during a walk. She expresses her gratitude for his care but admits her deep-seated insecurities as a divorced woman from the countryside. When she nears a point of rejection, Tang Hong'en cleverly fakes a coughing fit, claiming the cold air is getting to him.
His tactic works, as Liu Fen’s resolve melts into genuine concern for his health, and she tenderly helps him button his coat. Meanwhile, Xiaolan remains focused on the business front, communicating via landline with Chen Xiliang, the General Manager of Luna. Chen has managed to sneak backstage at the Chinese New Year Gala as a costume assistant, but he is discouraged because all the performers' outfits are already finalized.
Xiaolan urges him not to give up, suggesting he target the artists from Gangdao who have more autonomy over their wardrobe. She specifically mentions the singer Wu Kaili. Chen Xiliang finds his opening when he overhears Wu Kaili’s team complaining that her dress matches the stage background too closely, which would make her disappear on camera. Seizing the moment, he offers her a sample from Luna’s unreleased collection.
The plan is a triumph; Wu Kaili performs in the Luna dress, giving the brand massive national exposure. Xiaolan is thrilled, praising Chen Xiliang’s courage and initiative, realizing that his willingness to "burn his bridges" is exactly what will make the brand skyrocket. As the New Year's bell rings, the family gathers for a festive dinner of dumplings. The following day, Liu Fen and her family head to the outskirts of the village for ancestor worship.
Tang Hong'en insists on joining them, even carrying the shovel to help clear the gravesites. Standing before the graves of Liu Fen’s parents, he introduces himself and solemnly promises the deceased couple that he will ensure Liu Fen and Xiaolan have an even better future. Xiaolan is deeply moved by his bravery and sincerity.
Back at the house, Tang Hong'en continues to win over the family by helping with chores, even though his attempt to light the kitchen stove fills the room with smoke. During a family photo session, he boldly asks for a private photo with Liu Fen as a keepsake, leaning in close as Xiaolan snaps the picture. The celebration is interrupted by the sound of fireworks at the gate. Xiaolan rushes out to find Zhou Cheng standing there.
Overwhelmed with joy, she throws herself into his arms. After a large group photo with the whole family, Zhou Cheng pulls Xiaolan aside to apologize for his recent secrecy. He explains that the woman and child she saw in Beijing were the family of his late friend, Shi Kai. On the day of Xiaolan’s accident, Zhou Cheng and Shi Kai had been investigating a construction site for evidence.
A massive stone slab fell from above; while Zhou Cheng narrowly escaped, Shi Kai did not survive. Zhou Cheng admits he struggled to find the words to tell her the truth while she was still recovering in the hospital.
