Su Xiaoyun accompanies her husband Li Jianguo back to his rural hometown for the Spring Festival, hoping to spend a quiet New Year's Eve with his parents. However, they are immediately drawn into a "comparison game" by relatives—competing over year-end bonuses, children's grades, and the size of in-laws' red envelopes. The face-conscious Li Jianguo insists on "hosting" the New Year's Eve family feast, spending half a year's savings on ingredients. But at the feast, relatives snidely comment, "The food is expensive but tasteless," and on New Year's Day morning, they are pressured to have a child: "Making money is useless without kids." Su finally snaps, yelling, "We're not saving face—we're wasting the sincerity we saved all year!" They flee back to the city that night, and on the road, Li holds her hand and says, "Next year, we'll just eat dumplings with Mom and Dad—no more comparisons." This farce tears down hollow pride and warms the most genuine heart of reunion.
