Spoiler Alert
Naming Rights and Romantic Dinners
The creative juices are flowing in the village, but not without a struggle. Ma Xiumei and Long Fengbi hit a wall trying to name their new project. Everything sounds too fancy or just plain weird. Gun Yueliang steps in with a winner. She calls it "Village Show." It’s simple. It highlights the local vibe. It works.
Ma Qinghao and Gun Changpu have their own brainstorming session on the steps. They settle on a name for the homestay. They call it "Come Play at Home." It sounds welcoming.
Qinghao wastes no time playing the perfect boyfriend. He finishes his work and heads straight to the kitchen. He cooks a meal for Yueliang and delivers it personally. He sits there and watches her eat. It’s intense, but Yueliang loves it. The chemistry is undeniable.
Big Plans and Local Flavors
Xiao Baihe drops by to check on the progress. She loves the "Village Show" concept. But she thinks bigger. She wants to turn the fashion show into a full-blown cultural expo. They can sell local produce alongside the embroidery. It’s a smart move. It promotes the culture and boosts the local economy. Everyone is on board.
Pang Ge needs help with his restaurant menu. He cooks a feast for Ma Qinghao to taste. He talks a lot, but the food lacks focus. Qinghao gives it to him straight. Forget the fancy tricks. Stick to local ingredients and traditional methods. Tourists want authenticity, not a confused fusion menu. He uses Cliff Village’s history to make his point. Pang Ge finally gets it.
New Beginnings
Wu Aicao gets a surprising phone call from Officer Wang. The police took that previous training scam seriously. The government is stepping in. They are offering free, legitimate training for farmers on short videos and livestreaming. They even cover room and board. Aicao signs up immediately. Long Fengbi backs her up. It’s a great second chance.
The "Come Play at Home" homestay finally opens its doors. The place is packed. The "Three Grass Brothers" share an emotional hug. They cut the red ribbon and take photos. Business starts off strong.
Career Moves and Family Feuds
Xu Baiyun and Xiao Baihe lock down the Via Ferrata climbing project. They want Ma Qinghao as the Assistant General Manager. He turns them down. He is happy running his homestay and being with Yueliang. They try to persuade him, but he won't budge.
Guifu Sao is killing it as the cleaning team captain. Her husband, Guifu, is less thrilled. He whines about her neglecting the house. Gun Changpu tells him to stop complaining and support his wife.
The "Village Show" hits a snag. People from other villages aren't showing up. They don't see the benefit. The turnout is embarrassing for the Village Secretary. Ma Qinghao offers a solution. He suggests linking the event to the upcoming Torch Festival. That should pull in the crowds.
The Market War
Ma Yongbing and Gun Dayue reignite their old rivalry at the market. It gets petty fast. Dayue buys an entire side of pork just to spite Yongbing. Yongbing retaliates by buying out the tofu stall. Luo Xiaolin and Ye Mei try to talk sense into them. The kids have made up. The dads need to get over it.
