A Steamer Basket of Hot Buns, A Late Cry of Mother
Breakfast shop owners Guo Dacheng and Ma Guizhi stumble upon Zhao Xiaokui and her younger brother, whose parents have passed away and who have been driven out by their aunt and uncle. Starting from taking leftover food secretly, they are silently cared for; Guo Dacheng and his wife provide them with meals, medical care, and take them in. Ma Guizhi is hard-spoken but soft-hearted, wearing herself out with heart disease for the children. When their aunt and uncle take advantage of demolition to fight for the house, she collects evidence despite her illness, guarding the children's inheritance and right to choice. Before Xiaokui's college entrance examination, Ma Guizhi suddenly passes away, and Guo Dacheng follows her last wish to hide the news of the funeral. Xiaokui is admitted to university, and years later returns home to pay respects. Warm buns and the old shop witness a family bond surpassing blood.

Pemilik gerai sarapan pagi Guo Dacheng dan Ma Guizhi terserempak dengan adik-beradik Zhao Xiaokui, yang ibu bapanya telah meninggal dunia dan dihalau oleh bapa saudara serta ibu saudara mereka. Bermula dengan mengambil sisa makanan secara senyap-senyap, mereka dijaga secara diam-diam; pasangan Guo Dacheng menyediakan makanan, rawatan, dan menempatkan mereka. Ma Guizhi berhati keras dalam pertuturan tetapi berjiwa lembut, jatuh sakit jantung kerana penat memikirkan anak-anak. Apabila bapa saudara dan ibu saudara mengambil kesempatan atas perobohan untuk berebut rumah, dia tetap mengumpul bukti walaupun sakit, mempertahankan harta pusaka dan hak memilih anak-anak. Sebelum peperiksaan masuk universiti Xiaokui, Ma Guizhi tiba-tiba meninggal dunia, dan Guo Dacheng mematuhi wasiatnya untuk merahsiakan berita kematian itu. Xiaokui diterima masuk ke universiti, dan bertahun-tahun kemudian pulang ke kampung halaman untuk menziarahi kubur. Bakpau hangat dan gerai lama menyaksikan ikatan kekeluargaan yang melebihi pertalian darah.
