In the 1990s old industrial zone of Northeast China, Zhou Yuanchao and Li Guilan, a couple who grew up in the factory compound, just got their marriage certificate when they hit the wave of state-owned enterprise layoffs. To spare Guilan from hardship, Yuanchao secretly worked at a construction site, but was caught by Guilan while helping a female worker pick up things, leading her to误以为 he was "cheating". Guilan gritted her teeth and set up a stall selling grilled cold noodles, hiding medicine for Yuanchao's stomach trouble behind her back. Aunt Wang from the old residential compound saved food stamps for their wedding banquet, and the old workshop director always sent pickled cabbage to their home, but their misunderstanding deepened—until Yuanchao broke his leg at the construction site. Guilan found his salary slips and unsent divorce agreement hidden under the pillow, realizing his "cruelty" was all tenderness. When snow covered the big chimney of the old factory area, they reunited under the old locust tree where they fell in love. Guilan held the grilled cold noodles, crying and scolding: "Zhou Yuanchao, you can't get rid of me for the rest of your life!" The old neighbors gathered around laughing, and the smoke from the chimney drifted into the distance, carrying all the unspoken care.
