In a poor mountain village in northern Shanxi in 1960, 16-year-old Lin Xiaoman just buried her grandpa and took over his "Fulai Grocery Store" at the old alley. To her surprise, she finds in a hidden shelf compartment "honey pear paste for her mother's tuberculosis," "malted milk to keep her brother from hunger," and even "a boat ticket to bring her missing father home"—these "magical goods" cost no money, only the most precious memories. When Xiaoman trades her last memory of grandpa to save her mother, she uncovers the truth: all "magical items" are grandpa's life-long savings—30 years of grain coupons, picked-up medicine bottles, even money from secret part-time jobs! The "memory exchange"? It's just grandpa's trick to protect her from grief—he wanted her to know love never fades, even if forgotten. When the village chief tries to seal the "suspicious" store, Xiaoman hugs grandpa's old account book and cries: "This isn't a magical shop. It's the last candy grandpa left me."
