After the event, Teacher Long, the city's cultural cadre, went to Qiluo Village to collect folk songs, but was obstructed by Party Secretary Huang Dabing on the grounds that "folk songs corrode people's hearts." Huang Boyuan, the son of Huang Dabing, was dissatisfied with his father's tyranny and rural poverty. He originally wanted to abandon farming and go to work in the city. Under the persuasion of Teacher Long, he instead joined hands with his lover Zhao Xinzhu to start a business. The two started by frying melon seeds and selling clothes. Later, they met Guangzhou businessman Liu Haoran through villager Huang Lanhua, and sold all the village's bamboo products to Guangzhou, and even won a large order from Hong Kong businessmen. Seeing that his children were getting rich, Huang Dabing took advantage of the situation and implemented the household contracting system, handed over the responsibility to his son, and agreed to the marriage.
The subplot reveals the mystery of his life experience: Teacher Long's trip is actually to find his long-lost first love Huang Zhuyan. It turns out that Huang Zhuyan went to Teacher Long to avoid being kidnapped, but was forced to separate due to the pressure of rumors. And Zhao Xinzhu is the daughter of Huang Zhuyan. After Huang Zhuyan returned to her hometown, she recruited a man to hide her from others. However, her husband had a physical defect and the couple agreed not to interfere with each other. Huang Zhuyan later fled due to persecution due to sexual harassment, and it was not until recently that she regained contact with her family. In the end, Huang Zhuyan returned and reunited with Teacher Long, and Zhao Xinzhu recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan and changed his name to Long Xinzhu. In the "Wedding Song" that the whole village has not seen for a long time, Huang Boyuan and Long Xinzhu held the most grand wedding in ten years. The story ended with the dual joy of the spring breeze of reform and the reliving of old dreams.
