After a hospital examination, it was confirmed that Aunt Jiang had food poisoning. In order to explain to everyone, Liu Qiaozhen decided to investigate thoroughly. Feeling remorseful, Liu Qiaoling confessed everything to Liu Qiaozhen, but unfortunately it was of no avail. In the end, Liu Qiaozhen had no choice but to transfer the cafeteria and pay back wages and compensation to all the employees, which inevitably felt a little sad.
Gao Shuangxing brought Gao Sanxing to make amends to Liu Qiaozhen, and at the same time made up the 25,000 yuan that Liu Qiaoling gave. Gao Sanxing even promised that as long as Liu Qiaoling returned to the village with him, he would go through the divorce procedures immediately. Liu Qiaozhen was worried that Gao Sanxing was playing tricks, and wanted to accompany Liu Qiaoling back after the Spring Festival.
However, Liu Qiaoling was eager to divorce, and despite Liu Qiaozhen's obstruction, she insisted on taking the train home with Gao Sanxing. Sure enough, Gao Sanxing's plan succeeded, and he returned to his rogue appearance, directly imprisoned Liu Qiaoling in the room, and threatened her not to think about escaping, otherwise the Liu family would be turned upside down.
On New Year's Eve, Gao Jialin and Huang Yaping exchanged phone calls, and the two chatted about their current situation. Although they were thousands of miles away, their feelings could not be blocked. Before leaving, Huang Yaping prepared a red envelope for Gao Jialin, on which was written the four characters of "bright future". Gao Jialin was delighted and moved when he saw this.
Chen Fangming submitted a letter of resignation to the newspaper, intending to quit an Internet technology company, and also shared with Gao Jialin the development trend of the Internet. Gao Jialin also gave him the book he wrote as a souvenir. The leaders of the newspaper office valued Gao Jialin's ability very much, so they transferred him to the "Cultural Youth" magazine as the editor-in-chief.
Lin Yixuan encouraged Gao Jialin to work hard, hoping that he could lead this old magazine out of the predicament and get back on track. Later, Gao Jialin proposed the idea of a lump-sum contract at the meeting, taking the example of selling steamed buns back then, and promised that he would never force anyone to do something he didn't like.
It's a pity that the idea is good but the reality is cruel. Half a year later, the sales volume of the magazine has not increased. Gao Jialin really can't think of a countermeasure, and feels that he has failed the trust of the leaders. When Liu Qiaozhen talked about the clothing store owner, Gao Jialin was deeply inspired by her words and left excitedly.
Liu Qiaozhen did not receive a reply from her sister for a long time, and she was missing her. At this time, Liu Qiaoling had difficulty getting out, and happened to catch up with Shuangxing's mother who was bedridden and seriously ill. When Shuangxing's mother was dying, she hoped to see Gao Shuangxi, but before Gao Minglou wrote a letter to inform her son, she passed away.
Gao Shuangxing, who was far away in Shanghai, booked the bus ticket immediately and returned to his hometown accompanied by Gao Jialin and Liu Qiaozhen. After taking care of her mother's funeral, Gao Shuangxing suppressed her grief and came to comfort her father. Even though Gao Minglou didn't say anything, she was complaining that her son didn't bring his daughter-in-law and grandson back.
Liu Qiaozhen took advantage of the opportunity of returning to her hometown to meet her sister Liu Qiaoling in private and learned about her experiences during this period. Liu Qiaoling apologized to Liu Qiaozhen for what happened before, and hoped that she could take her out of this place. Knowing the truth, Liu Qiaozhen promised to take her sister back to Shanghai, and reminded her to keep Gao Sanxing safe in the past two days, and never reveal her intention of running away from home.
Considering the new era and new changes, Gao Minglou had to keep the funeral simple, so he simply held a white banquet to entertain the villagers. Gao Yude remembered that Gao Minglou was good to his family, so he asked Gao Jialin to prepare a share of the money and send it. As a man, he must not forget his roots no matter what, and he must repay his kindness.
Now that their son has developed and has a bright future, Gao Yude and his wife are very pleased. The only regret is that Gao Jialin has not yet married. Gao Jialin revealed the situation of himself and Huang Yaping. They live in two places and have their own favorite careers. They are not in a hurry to get married, but want to save money to buy a house and take their parents to Shanghai as soon as possible to live a good life.
Soon Liu Qiaozhen booked a room at the Changlong Hotel in the county seat, and then found Liu Qiaoling to plan the escape time and route. As soon as the banquet opened, Liu Qiaoling took the opportunity to run to the village entrance, and took the small trailer that Liu Qiaozhen rented to the county seat. Not only that, Liu Qiaozhen also prepared bank cards and train tickets for Liu Qiaoling, and told her to leave Xi'an by the earliest car the day after tomorrow, with a mobile phone in the bag that could be contacted. Liu Qiaoling was deeply moved when she saw the proper arrangement of the second sister.
