In 1980s Luzhen, the four Zhang sisters are forced to transition from students to family breadwinners overnight when their father falls seriously ill. Eldest sister Zhaodi gives up the college exam to work in a textile factory, but clashes with Lin Weidong, a returned educated youth, over a "shift cover"—only to grow closer. Second sister Laidi sneaks to Guangzhou with family food stamps to sell goods, and is rescued by Zhou Haiyang, a bell-bottom-wearing, aviator-sunglasses-clad "trendy guy" when bullied by local thugs. Third sister Niandi marries into a wealthy family for medical fees, only to discover her husband hides an old debt tied to her mother. Youngest sister Pandi sells sugar water with pocket money and earns her first pot of gold with the "osmanthus honey" idea. From bickering to uniting, the sisters solve family crises and achieve love/career turnarounds in the reform era, telling the most relatable 1980s growth story.
