After the departure of the head of the family, Nikolay Petrovich, Kostya and Vera and their children move to a new apartment, and Galina Ivanovna moves to the dacha. Meanwhile, the search for herself forces Lyonya to move first to her mother, and then to her younger brother. Masha's fiance Sergey will also share the living space with the Voronins. Kostya doesn't like a simple guy from the provinces, and now he, like Galina Ivanovna in her time, is looking for shortcomings in his future son-in-law in order to get rid of an unenviable match for his daughter.
