Chen Guilan has been with Zhang Jianguo for 40 years, cooking hot meals for the whole family every day and ironing Zhang's crumpled shirts. But their daughter-in-law finds her "nagging and bothersome" and insists on splitting the family. Zhang initially thinks "separation will be quieter." However, after Chen moves to the old house, the Zhang family falls into chaos—no millet congee simmered for two hours for breakfast, Zhang can't find his blood pressure medicine, and the son and daughter-in-law have no hot dishes after work. Only then does he realize: all the "comfort" he took for granted was Chen's gentle care accumulated over a lifetime. When he brings freshly cooked congee to pick her up, Chen smiles and hands him a square dance registration form: "This time, I want to live for myself for a few days."
