Xie Zhiyao was originally at the hospital with the patient, but Auntie Feng felt bad and told him to go home and rest. Coincidentally, Xu Hongdou had cooked and was having dinner with Xie Anai. Xie Zhiyao took one look at the food and suspected it would taste terrible—and after trying it, he was sure. Only Xie Anai praised Xu Hongdou’s cooking endlessly.

After the meal, Xu Hongdou washed the grapes she had bought in town, but they were so sour they were hard to swallow—it seemed she had been tricked by an unscrupulous seller. Xie Zhiyao suddenly had an idea and invited everyone to the orchard for a group outing to pick plums, offering to cover all expenses. Xu Hongdou admired his generosity and agreed.

Lately, Hu Youyu had been regularly working as a music teacher at the kindergarten and felt fulfilled by the children’s adoring smiles. One day, as he was humming a tune on his way home, he realized he had left his bag in the classroom. When he returned, he found out the accordion teacher hadn’t actually resigned, and he immediately understood it was Xie Xiaochun’s doing.

Sure enough, under Hu Youyu’s questioning, Xie Xiaochun admitted that Xie Zhiyao had been worried about his mental state and came up with this idea. However, Hu Youyu felt insulted, thinking Xie Zhiyao was pitying him. Xie Xiaochun scolded him for being too cynical and never accepting kindness from others. Thanks to Xie Xiaochun’s blunt words, Hu Youyu began accepting his friends’ goodwill and signed up for the team outing.

In reality, though, Xie Zhiyao’s camping invitation was a way to get help for Auntie Feng, since Uncle Chang was still in the hospital and they were short-handed. Xie Xiaochun complained that Xie Zhiyao was too calculating and told him not to involve her in such schemes again—she didn’t want to be complicit. When the day of the outing arrived, everyone set off for the orchard. It wasn’t until Auntie Feng showed up that they realized the outing’s true purpose.

Still, everyone was kindhearted and sympathetic to Auntie Feng’s plight, and they all helped pick plums. Xie Zhiyao saw things with clarity—he believed that people shouldn’t compare themselves to others, because for some, what is a starting point is for others an unreachable finish line. We should look back at our own journey and remember that once we survive the hardest times, things will only get better.

Auntie Guiqin had long wanted to make up with Auntie Feng but didn’t know how to say it. Taking advantage of a moment when no one was around, she handed her a red envelope from her pocket as a gesture of goodwill. They’d known each other for over thirty years, and petty arguments never affected their sisterly bond. Auntie Feng also knew she had a bad temper and had offended many neighbors over the years.

But even so, Auntie Guiqin still enjoyed her company, knowing that she was tough-talking but soft-hearted. In fact, Auntie Feng admitted she envied Auntie Guiqin for raising two good children—beneath that envy was admiration. In contrast, she had lost her daughter and had a son in prison. Ultimately, she felt it was the parents’ fault for not teaching him well.

Auntie Guiqin took the opportunity to complain about how Dayang often went back on his word—every time he promised to go to Qingdao, something came up. Auntie Feng’s mood gradually improved, and the two old friends reconciled. After a whole day of plum picking, everyone was exhausted, but Xie Zhiyao still took pictures to commemorate the day. Ma Qiushan was heading to Fujian to visit a tea plantation and begin a new business venture.

Early in the morning, he was meditating when he saw Damai come out of her room. Inspired by Ma Qiushan and encouraged by everyone, Damai decided to start writing a new novel—choosing not to surrender to reality, but to continue her creative journey with determination. Soon after, Xu Hongdou, Damai, and Hu Youyu set out again for the orchard, dragging their aching bodies to pick more plums.
