Jan 5, 2023

Xie Zhiyao accompanied Xu Hongdou back to the inn, and saw the tenants chatting in the small courtyard, including the handsome guy Hu Youyu who sang in a nearby bar, Ma Qiushan who was keen to meditate every day, and the young and beautiful Shanghai girl Lin Na. Hu Youyu greeted Xu Hongdou enthusiastically, but she was almost overwhelmed because of her enthusiasm, and finally found an excuse to slip back into the room.

That night, Xu Hongdou dreamed that she had dinner with Chen Nanxing, but Chen Nanxing complained that she was always busy with work and had no time to travel to Dali with him. Now, Xu Hongdou finally took time out, but unfortunately the person he wanted to accompany was no longer there. Because Xu Hongdou slept without closing the window, she was bitten several times on her arm, and she met a shy female tenant, Da Mai, and tasted the breakfast made by him.

Damai is not good at chatting, and she can almost kill the topic with every sentence, but she is kind-hearted, and she will be very thoughtful and will prepare books to relieve boredom, as well as sprays to repel mosquitoes. When Xu Hongdou was about to go out, he saw Ma Qiushan meditating in the yard, and met Aunt Agui, the cleaner, and found out that she was one of the landlords of Youfeng Inn.

Compared with Damai's introversion, Aunt Agui is extremely good at talking, and can chat from Yunnan to Beijing to Qingdao. In short, if Xu Hongdou doesn't interrupt, I'm afraid she will chat until dark. Xu Hongdou went out to find Xie Xiaochun's cafe, and happened to see Grandma Xie setting up a stall on the side of the road, all of which were handcrafted by her.

Xie Zhiyao also wanted to go to the cafe, so he simply led the way for Xu Hongdou, and the two stopped to chat when passing by Erhai Lake. Xu Hongdou had never seen such a beautiful scenery, and when he heard Xie Zhiyao's story about his childhood, he felt extremely peaceful in his heart. But now the Erhai Lake has advocated environmental protection, and fishermen are not allowed to fish at will. Xie Zhiyao lamented that time passes so quickly, and occasionally misses the past.

When she came to Xie Xiaochun's cafe, Xu Hongdou found that Lin Na was working in the cafe and personally made a porcini pancake for her. Xie Xiaochun's children were attracted by the aroma of pancakes, and Xu Hongdou generously gave them two pieces. Seeing them eating with satisfaction, they couldn't help laughing.

Xie Xiaochun arranged a blind date for Xie Zhiyao. The woman is a teacher, who is two or three years younger than Xie Zhiyao. However, Xie Zhiyao's mind was not on the blind date at all, and he frequently looked at Xu Hongdou who was eating pancakes, until Xu Hongdou finished eating and left, he was inevitably a little disappointed.

Xu Hongdou came to Xie Heshun's carving shop alone, and was suddenly attracted by the wooden statue carved by Xie Xiaoxia. Through conversation, he knew that he was Xie Xiaochun's younger brother. Before leaving, Xie Xiaoxia took the initiative to give the wooden dragonfly to Xu Hongdou as a gift. The wooden dragonfly was placed on the bedside table and became her first souvenir of coming to Dali.

After the simple blind date, Xie Zhiyao and the woman exchanged WeChat messages and said goodbye politely. In order to prevent Xie Zhiyao from being perfunctory like before, Xie Xiaochun urged him not to forget to exchange feelings on WeChat, but Xie Zhiyao reluctantly agreed. Because Xie Xiaoxia got acquainted with netizens and was planning to go to Shanghai, Xie Xiaochun hoped that Xie Zhiyao could persuade his younger brother not to always think about unrealistic entrepreneurial dreams.

Xie Zhiyao can understand Xie Xiaoxia's feelings. If his hometown can create opportunities for young people, who would want to go out and leave his hometown, so this is why he returned to his hometown to start a business. Back then, Xie Zhiyao’s mother went to other places to work to supplement the family’s income, and did not stay in Dali as an embroiderer. Now Xie Zhiyao invited his mother’s good sisters to participate in the filming. Watching her skillfully thread the needle, his mind is full of mother’s Sound and smile.

In the evening when Xie Zhiyao was helping grandma Xie to cook in the kitchen, his younger brother Xie Zhiyuan came back covered in sweat, which made Xie Zhiyao frowned, inevitably criticizing him. Xie Zhiyuan didn't want to go to school, and wanted to stay in Dali to raise a horse to accompany Grandma, Xie Zhiyao rolled up his sleeves and began to teach his brother a lesson. If Grandma Xie didn't stop him, he might have kicked this brat out of the house long ago.
