Through the window, Xu Hongdou saw Xie Zhiyao washing Xie Anai’s hair. The warm scene between grandmother and grandson reminded her of her own loving grandma. As a child, she loved collecting bugs, which annoyed her older sister and caused a huge fight. Their grandmother had to step in to mediate. Because she missed her grandma so much, Xu Hongdou called her parents and asked them to visit her grandma’s grave on her behalf.

The next day, Xu Hongdou made a cat toy by hand, which caught Damai’s attention. As the two of them played with the cat, Aunt Gui invited them to make flower cakes and milk fan. Once the three left, Ma Qiushan finally felt relieved, as if the world had gone quiet again. He even performed a kung fu routine for the cat on the spot.

Xu Hongdou and Damai followed Aunt Gui to Aunt Baoping’s home, where they learned how to make flower cakes and milk fan. Aunt Gui missed her son and daughter-in-law who lived far away. Though flower cakes were available online, she wanted to make them herself and send them over—bringing a taste of home. The food-making process was very healing.

Xu Hongdou and Damai felt a sense of accomplishment while tasting the food and asked Aunt Gui to carefully package the cakes so they could send them to friends and relatives. Meanwhile, Xie Xiaoxia kept pestering Lin Na about Shanghai. Lin Na knew nothing and didn’t notice that he seemed interested in stocks—something that would lead him to make a grave mistake later.

Xie Zhiyao couldn’t find Xie Zhiyuan, so he called his mother and said that even if Zhiyuan didn’t want to return to Kunming, he could arrange a school for him there. Their parents had hoped that seeing the poverty of the mountains would motivate him to study hard, but instead, Xie Zhiyuan felt completely at ease there, like a tiger returned to the wild.

That evening, Xu Hongdou brought flower cakes to Xie Zhiyao and overheard him arguing more and more intensely with Xie Zhiyuan. The truth came out: Xie Zhiyuan didn’t want to return to school because he had pulled down his pants in front of classmates and was too ashamed to face them again.

Originally, Xu Hongdou wanted to just drop off the cakes and leave, but Xie Zhiyuan came out of the room, slipped and fell, and then clung tightly to her leg. In the end, Xu Hongdou stayed for dinner with the two brothers. After the meal, she repeatedly promised not to reveal Xie Zhiyuan’s secret, so he finally allowed her to return to the inn.

Xu Hongdou considered the matter from Xie Zhiyuan’s perspective and suggested that Xie Zhiyao not pressure his brother to make decisions. Xie Zhiyao, feeling troubled, asked her how she got along with her own siblings—hoping to learn something from her experience. Soon, Xu’s parents received the flower cakes sent from Yunnan, and so did Xu Hongdou’s older sister and Chen Nanxing’s parents. The cakes tasted just as good as store-bought ones.

At first, her sister Xu Hongmi thought the cakes were a specialty her sister had purchased and shared them at work. Upon learning they were handmade by her sister, she took them back to the office and savored them carefully. Xie Zhiyao had many businesses in his hometown—besides owning a horse ranch, he also had a dye workshop and occasionally worked as a tour guide and livestream host. He always tried to help with village matters.

Xu Hongdou had unknowingly been in Dali for a week. Her phone was finally repaired, and her chat history with Chen Nanxing was intact, bringing her peace of mind. However, news spread somehow, and all the grandmothers in the village found out about Xie Zhiyuan’s pants incident. He wrongly assumed Xu Hongdou had told someone and angrily called her to scold her. Confused, Xu Hongdou immediately contacted Xie Zhiyao to ask how Xie Zhiyuan got her number.
