Inspired by Xie Zhiyao, Xie Heshun made a special trip to visit Xie Huailan’s tie-dye workshop, wanting to understand the differences between himself and her. Xie Huailan is also a cultural heritage inheritor, but she keeps up with the times, using new technology to promote intangible cultural heritage—a quality Xie Heshun still needs to learn. Early in the morning, Xu Hongdou cooked breakfast herself.

When she called Damai to wake up, he was groggy and didn’t respond for a long time. Ma Qiushan, who was meditating under a tree, was obviously starving. Pretending to be reserved, he resisted hunger for a few minutes but eventually gave in and came to eat. Xie Zhiyao went to Shuhe for a dinner meeting to discuss business. With his eloquence, he successfully persuaded Mr. Li to purchase handcrafted wood carvings, then returned home exhausted.

Xie Anai was delighted to hear her grandson had secured a deal. Meanwhile, Xu Hongdou was out having barbecue, listening to the stall owner talk about his history with Xie Zhiyao. When Xie Zhiyao applied to university for graduate studies, he originally had better development prospects in a big city. Yet he resolutely returned to his hometown to start a business. At this moment, Xie Zhiyao also arrived at the barbecue stand and sat across from Xu Hongdou.

Xu Hongdou wanted to call Xie Zhiyuan to explain that she hadn’t leaked any secrets, but he didn’t answer. Recently, Xu Hongdou had visited nearly all the nearby attractions. Xie Zhiyao was promoting local campsites but was bluntly told by Xu Hongdou that he was losing money. She emphasized that she came to Dali to relax and live idly—a sentiment shared by many young people today, who just want to live more freely and stress-free.

As people grow older, they often miss their childhood. Xu Hongdou felt that Xie Anai reminded her of her grandmother and brought back many memories. While working, Xie Zhiyuan spilled his food. He held back his grievances as he cleaned up, only to end up scalding himself. Brother Liang helped apply medicine and suggested he should go home.

But Xie Zhiyuan, being stubborn, didn’t realize how much luckier he was compared to Brother Liang—at least he had parents and a brother who cared, something Brother Liang had always longed for. Because Xie Zhiyao employed elders from the village, managing acquaintances was challenging. They often made mistakes while packing products, and Xie Xiaochun couldn’t strictly enforce procedures without harming their relationships.

Xie Zhiyao thought of asking Xu Hongdou for help, knowing she had just resigned from a five-star hotel and must have excellent management skills. As they were talking, Xie Heshun came to Xie Zhiyao and thanked him for earlier matters. He admitted that when Xie Zhiyao returned to promote intangible cultural heritage, he didn’t believe a word and thought it was all empty talk. But now, seeing what Xie Zhiyao had achieved, he was genuinely convinced.

Aunt Baoping discovered that Xie Xiaoxia had taken a bank card when he left and quickly called her daughter Xie Xiaochun, fearing her son might be deceived. Knowing her brother’s temperament, Xie Xiaochun transferred him 3,000 yuan and reminded him to be frugal in Shanghai. However, Xie Xiaoxia had fallen for a scam by someone called Brother Kai and was swindled out of 30,000 yuan as soon as he arrived in Shanghai.

Helpless, he went to the police station to report it. Now the whole village was gossiping that Xie Zhiyao and his brother didn’t get along, or else why hadn’t he gone looking for him? Just as Xie Anai asked Xie Zhiyao about Xie Zhiyuan’s whereabouts, he received a call from Xie Xiaoxia and learned of what had happened.

Before leaving, he asked his grandmother to tell Xu Hongdou his story of starting a business in hopes of persuading her to stay. Xie Anai understood. Xu Hongdou was reminded of her grandmother when she looked at Xie Anai and stayed by her side to listen to her stories. Meanwhile, Xie Xiaoxia, penniless, sat on the street selling rushan (a local cheese snack) to earn money.

Luckily, he had brought some from home when he left for Shanghai, thanks to Aunt Baoping. Xie Zhiyao quickly found him, shook his head at the sight of his lonely figure, and took him to eat.
