Lin Xiaoman, a food editor who hit a wall in her career, returns to her hometown's "Xiangyang Noodle Shop" exhausted, only to find her grandfather—who has run the shop for thirty years—confronting the demolition team. The old alley is to be turned into a cultural and creative park, and her grandfather refuses to move. Xiaoman tries to persuade him, recalling childhood memories: the sugar-hearted egg hidden in the morning noodle aroma, the ginger tea that warmed her on the rainy night of her college entrance exam failure. But her grandfather only says, "These noodles are for the old neighbors." It's not until she finds her grandfather's diary in an old account book—"Xiaoman said she'd open the noodle shop in Beijing, but now she even finds coming home a hassle"—that she understands: what her grandfather is guarding isn't the shop, but the "mortal warmth" waiting for her to return. When the cultural and creative park agrees to keep the shop as it is, Xiaoman decides to stay and work with her grandfather to make "Xiangyang Noodles" a living business card of the old street. Turns out, the warmest road towards the sun is having someone with you, boiling ordinary days into sugar.
