The ordinary peasant in Moon Bay, Jiang Maofu, was a good planter of fruit trees, so he was richer than others, but he was criticized as a "top man who took the capitalist road", resulting in his son Guigen always being unable to find an object. It is easy for someone to introduce the daughter orchid of Cuiping Village Qingliang, who is preparing to take his son on a blind date, but encounters the other party who comes to the door to return the bride price. Risking wealth, he entrusted people to tell his son about the widow Zhou Sister-in-law of Cuiping Village. Mao Fu is very satisfied with Zhou's sister-in-law, but Guigen has a crush on the barefoot doctor Orchid he met on the day of the blind date. Guigen and Orchid slowly develop a relationship, but they don't know that they have just been divorced by their father. A reporter from a certain newspaper newspaper interviewed The rich man because of political needs, and the risk of getting rich became an advanced model in the county, and Qing Liang saw this and wanted to match the marriage between the two families, but the rich man refused on the spot. Qingliang knows that Guigen is talking to his daughter, so he discusses marriage with Fufu. Soon after, however, the journalist took pictures of the risky rich due to political necessity, making him a typical example of a "bourgeois upstart." Qingliang made a big fuss about the new house and pulled away his daughter. The commune supported QingLiang's resignation from marriage and included the risky rich in the ranks of the "four types of elements", which greatly hurt the risky wealth. After Mao fu was finally rehabilitated, Gui Gen's marriage with Orchid continued, and the reporter also apologized to Mao Fu.
