The funeral home staff arrived on time to collect the body of an elderly man who had just passed away, but his son, following local superstitions, believed that placing a basin of water at home and waiting for the sunlight to reflect on the wall at noon would reveal his father's spirit. Left with no choice, Feng Xilun called Chen Maidong for help, and Chen Maidong patiently stayed with the family until exactly noon.

As the holiday was coming to an end, the whole family was busy packing Zhuang Yan’s luggage, and He Zhangyue drove him to the train station. When Zhuang Jie heard that the yam in Yanggou Village wasn’t selling, she asked He Zhangyue to take her there that very afternoon to investigate. She learned that although someone had planned to purchase the yams, the buyers were severely undercutting the price.

Without access to machinery, villagers could only dig them up manually, which was both time-consuming and exhausting, resulting in extremely low prices. Wu Xuehua went door to door conducting a population census. When she arrived at the Chen household, she saw only Granny Chen sitting alone in the courtyard—Chen Maidong wasn’t home. Granny Chen didn’t pressure Wu Xuehua to arrange a blind date for her grandson this time.

Instead, she asked her to read a thank-you letter over the town’s broadcast system, praising Chen Maidong for his contributions to Nanping Town. Zhuang Jie heard the broadcast while sitting in the car, watching the scenery pass by the window, and recalled what Chen Maidong had said that night. In Zhuang Jie’s eyes, Chen Maidong was someone willing to shine in his hometown, with a deep affection for Nanping Town that she couldn’t fully understand.

Moved by this, she made a bold decision—to help Yanggou Village sell all their yams. Chen Maidong felt helpless about his grandmother having someone read the thank-you letter, but Granny Chen told him that if he wouldn’t take the initiative to pursue Zhuang Jie, then she would have to step in herself.

At the same time, Zhuang Jie leveraged her connections, reached out to many friends, found buyers and processing factories for the yams, and sent them the information she had compiled. Liao Tao, though sharp-tongued and soft-hearted, complained about how her husband and daughter had developed rashes from the yams while carefully applying cucumber slices to their faces, and the whole family laughed and bonded over it.

Soon, Zhuang Jie found a sales channel for Yanggou Village and directly signed a three-year cooperation agreement. All the villagers held their heads high with pride, and the town’s broadcast repeatedly aired thank-you messages for her. For a time, everyone in the neighborhood heard about it. The stewed chicken shop saw a surge in customers, and people praised Zhuang Jie endlessly. As her mother, Liao Tao felt deeply gratified and proud.

This success made Zhuang Jie feel light and inspired, a sense of accomplishment and mission arising naturally within her. Granny Chen, now even more fond of Zhuang Jie, warmly invited her over to the house to share stories from Chen Maidong’s childhood. At that moment, Chen Maidong returned from outside, and the atmosphere turned slightly awkward. Granny Chen made an excuse to go for a walk, leaving the two alone.

Zhuang Jie curiously looked around Chen Maidong’s room but stormed off angrily because of something he said. Since Zhuang Jie was about to return to Shanghai, Chen Maidong took the initiative to invite her to dinner—partly to apologize and partly to send her off. Zhuang Jie readily agreed. It was rare to see Chen Maidong smile. He explained that because of the nature of his work, he had to control his emotions.

Over time, it became a habit—even when something joyful happened, he wouldn’t express it too enthusiastically, to avoid being disliked by others. As the two walked back together, Zhuang Jie brought up their school days, reflecting on how he had never changed. She remarked that his profession was truly noble and urged him not to be constrained by others’ opinions. Those who understood him would naturally understand. At parting, the two added each other on WeChat.

Zhuang Jie offered a handshake goodbye and suggested they meet again next time in Nanping Town. However, Chen Maidong believed they shouldn’t shake hands, nor should they meet again. As he passed by the school gate, old memories resurfaced in his mind. Years ago, Zhuang Jie had left Nanping Town. Now she was leaving again. Chen Maidong told Granny Chen that some people and things couldn’t be forced—those who were meant to leave would eventually leave.

The next morning, Chen Maidong still went to the station, pretending to see off a friend, but in truth, just to see her one more time. As he helped place her suitcase, ready to turn and leave, Zhuang Jie suddenly kissed him. Stunned for a moment, he unexpectedly pulled her in and kissed her back. Their kiss was bold and passionate, reluctant to end—until the warning bell of the train rang out.
