After Zhuang Tunan and his party arrived in Yunyao, they devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the survey and protection of ancient buildings, and their schedule was very tight.Although there are freshly prepared dishes every day, they are often too busy to taste them and even let the flies hover around.At the same time, cotton mills are producing polyester with poor efficiency, making it difficult to pay wages to workers. The current situation is worrying.

In order to cope with this dilemma, the factory director reluctantly announced that he had decided to use unsalable fabrics to offset workers' wages.This decision caused strong dissatisfaction among workers, especially those whose whole families worked in the factory. Their homes were already filled with fabrics, and their livelihoods became a big problem.In response to workers' concerns, the factory director promised that he had contacted suppliers to prepare rice and noodles. He hoped that everyone could work together to overcome the difficulties, and believed that wages would be paid as scheduled after the factory's performance improved.

Song Ying's family was also affected, and all they received were green cloths.The finished clothes were hung to dry in the yard, a patch of green that was hard to distinguish.Huang Ling, on the other hand, was thoughtful and sewed sheets and quilt covers for Zhuang Tunan with green cloth, and also carefully made sleeves.She joked that she dreamed of Zhuang Tunan being isolated and helpless in the desert, so she was anxious to send her heart to him.

Song Ying curiously asked Huang Ling why Zhuang Chaoying was not at home. Huang Ling explained that because Zhuang Chaoying's salary was replaced by cloth, she decided not to tell her family about it for the time being to avoid causing a dispute.However, he was still scolded by his parents when he returned home.Song Ying believed that Zhuang Chaoying should have been honest with her earlier, and gave Huang Ling advice, asking her to take the cloth home and directly tell her parents that her salary had turned into cloth, so that her family could witness Zhuang Chaoying's helplessness with their own eyes.Huang Ling smiled bitterly and admitted that her view on marriage is to raise children together, and Zhuang Chaoying is indeed very good to her children.

At the same time, Zhuang Chaoying's parents were angry at home, telling them about their difficulties.Zhuang Chaoying explained that currently the whole family relies on his salary to live, and it is really impossible to allocate any more to his parents.He promised to pay him when wages returned to normal.Grandma mentioned that her family ordered fresh milk for her children, but the two of them had never tasted milk.My father was so emotional that he told Zhuang Chaoying to get out, and claimed that he would never have this son again.

At this time, Yiming came to Song Ying and Huang Ling with some hot-selling products and asked them if they could make similar products.The two confidently stated that there was no problem, and mentioned that there were some laid-off interns in the cotton mill who were very skilled and hoped to invite them to join.Yiming readily agreed, saying that no matter how many people there were, they were all welcome to join.

Zhuang Tunan and his team also face many challenges in their work in the ancient city.Unfortunately, many members of the team contracted dysentery due to unsafe dietary hygiene conditions.However, hospitals in the county town lacked drugs to treat the disease, which posed a great threat to their health.At the same time, residents of the ancient city are eager to demolish the city wall, and Teacher Ruan firmly stands on the side of protecting ancient buildings.Teacher Ruan is well aware of the cultural value of these ancient buildings and firmly opposes their demolition.However, local staff seem to value immediate economic benefits more, believing that only by demolishing ancient buildings can they make room for road construction and promote urban development.

In order to jointly carry out the surveying and mapping work of the City God Temple with team member Li Jia, Zhuang Tunan specially put on neat white clothes.But while climbing the City God's Temple, he accidentally soiled his clothes.This episode also reflects the hardship and difficulty of their work.

At the same time, Lao Wu found Song Ying and others and told them that through connections, he had secured the opportunity for Xiao Min to work in Factory No. 3.However, Xiao Min unexpectedly rejected this arrangement.Zhang Amei was very confused about this, so she asked Song Ying and Huang Ling to persuade Xiao Min.Under Song Ying's leadership, Xiao Min made great progress in the factory, so Zhang Amei believed that Xiao Min would follow Song Ying's advice.However, when Song Ying and Huang Ling found Xiao Min, they found that she already had her own plans.Xiao Min does not want to spend her life in a factory like her predecessors. She is eager to pursue her dreams.So she had found a job in a barber shop and decided to go there.
