In the early 1980s, Jiang Guifang became the chef of the state-owned dumpling restaurant at the North Railway Station because of her good dumplings. Later, due to policy reforms, she was squeezed out by the joint manager Xu Dawen, who opposed her everywhere. After being laid off, in order to feed her family, Jiang Guifang opened a "grandma's dumpling restaurant". In the early days of her business, she was in a difficult situation, but she always gritted her teeth and persisted. During this period, she encountered the demolition of the dumpling restaurant and Xu Dawen's tit-for-tat. These difficulties not only did not make her compromise, but made her stronger. In life, Jiang Guifang also encountered family problems such as the eldest daughter's illness, the second daughter's divorce, the third son's marriage, the fourth daughter's runaway, and the adoption of the fifth son. Jiang Guifang relied on her tenacious character and superb wisdom to lead her children through one level after another. The dumpling restaurant always maintained the family's emotions in the ups and downs. In the end, the children's lives gradually got on track, and Jiang Guifang also tasted the taste of happiness in the family dumpling banquet with children and grandchildren.
