Features: Hou Xiang is a taxi driver in the capital city, living with his father and brother Hou Fei in a siheyuan (traditional courtyard house), leading a simple life as an ordinary citizen in Beijing. Hou Xiang suffers from stuttering and faces discrimination, often failing in his romantic life. The siheyuan is about to be demolished, and to maximize the area calculation, Hou Fei goes to great lengths, first by adding a small kitchen and then by filing a fake divorce with his wife, Tao Lan. To avoid adding trouble to his sons, Hou Shichang voluntarily moves into a nursing home. Due to the developer's mistake, when Hou Xiang buys a house, he draws the same number as the supermarket cashier Su Qianqian, securing a discounted (low-price promotional housing). In the struggle for the right to use the house, the two gradually develop feelings for each other and eventually become lovers. The Hou family moves into their new home, Hou Fei and his wife remarry, and their father, Hou Shichang, is also brought back from the nursing home. The whole family celebrates joyfully, setting up a New Year's Eve dinner in their new home.
