Xu Hongdou recorded the amazing moment of the foal’s birth on her phone. She was moved by the greatness of motherhood and was brought to tears. Xie Zhiyao thought city people were inexperienced and rarely saw new life like this. But Xu Hongdou recalled how she used to go to the countryside with her grandmother and remembered many fun memories. When she was little, she thought holding an egg would hatch a chick.

Her sister, Xu Hongmi, worried she might break it and secretly swapped the raw egg for a cooked one. Later, in cahoots with their grandmother, they tried various ways to "turn" the egg into a chick, making Xu Hongdou believe she had succeeded in hatching it. Xu Hongdou remained in the dark until Xu Hongmi applied to university and mocked her for going to the "egg hatching" university. That’s when she learned the truth.

Looking back now, Xu Hongmi was a constant stumbling block on her path, but having such a stumbling block helped her gain self-awareness. Tuotuo, the little boy, was about to leave Dali and was reluctant to part with his friends. Seeing the sad faces of the children, Lin Na also felt upset and tried to comfort them. Meanwhile, Auntie Agu saw Ma Qiushan always meditating in the courtyard and doing nothing else. She couldn't understand it.

In her view, at Ma Qiushan’s age, his child should already be in middle school, and he should consider his family’s feelings. Everyone is born to take responsibility and shouldn't always aim too high. Even if running a business doesn’t go well, one can still work regular jobs. Although Ma Qiushan felt that since people are born with nothing, they might as well lie flat, Auntie Agu insisted that one should work unless lying in a coffin.

Inspired by her, Ma Qiushan greatly admired her. Even if she wasn’t highly educated, she truly understood life. Damai was motivated by Auntie Agu’s words and wanted to write more to change her situation, but she lacked inspiration. Negative reader comments and low income sapped her motivation. Meanwhile, Ma Qiushan was stir-frying rice noodles in the kitchen, and Damai came over to chat, sharing her frustrations.

As a 28-year-old invisible author, she faced pitiful subscription numbers, rampant piracy, and harsh criticism, leaving her with no hope. That was her own evaluation. Ma Qiushan then shared his entrepreneurial journey—from being worth millions and earning tons, to losing everything and having to meditate just to suppress his urge to start again. Soon, under Xie Zhiyao’s preparation, Xie Heshun’s woodcarving workshop had a lively opening.

Xie Zhiyao planned to promote it through short videos online and asked Xie Xiaoxia to continue filming and streaming. Xie Heshun had never been exposed to such things and was a bit uncomfortable, but seeing how good and enthusiastic Xie Xiaoxia was, he didn’t object further. Xu Hongdou wrote an employee handbook for the café, setting clear rules and making changes in onboarding, assessments, and pay.

She even added a full-attendance bonus: if staff took no more than three personal days a month, they would get an extra 200 yuan. Although Anai Caiyun and Anai Xiuying couldn’t understand the details, the idea of earning an extra 200 yuan excited them. Because of the handbook’s implementation, Xie Zhiyao was impressed by Xu Hongdou’s management skills and sincerely grateful. He was so moved that he even confessed his feelings on the spot.

Though Xu Hongdou knew he was joking, his emotions were real. Even Xie Xiaochun noticed and warned him not to fall for Xu Hongdou, since her rental term was only two more months—after which she would return to Beijing.
