Chen Weiguo transmigrates back to the Courtyard in 1959 and discovers that Yu Haitang has just dumped him.
Fine by him. Chen Weiguo turns around and marries the woman he loves, Ran Qiuyue.
But Yu Haitang, we can break up, sure, but you got your job at the steel mill through my family's employment quota. Now that we're done, shouldn't you resign voluntarily? If you won't, I'll go to the steel mill and report you by name for taking a job quota reserved for a martyr's family.
Yu Haitang: Chen Weiguo, you can't treat me like this!
Yi Zhonghai: Chen Weiguo, we're all neighbors here. Do me a favor and let it go. Don't ruin our courtyard's chances of winning the year-end award.
Chen Weiguo chuckles. “A favor? Who do you think you are?”
Thanks to his status as a martyr's family member, Chen Weiguo is assigned to work as a driver at the Western Suburbs Refrigeration Plant, which supplies meat directly to the steel mill.
Director Yang: Comrade Chen Weiguo, be sure to look after our factory from now on!
Chen Weiguo laughs it off. “We'll see. There are too many people at your factory I can't stand!”
