The festival is a success, and the collective farm receives its first money from the sale of products. However, a businessman named Boris Ilyich (played by Anatoly Kot) appears and offers to buy the collective farm's land for the construction of a toll road. Kuzya refuses, unaware that Dasha is Boris Ilyich's daughter. Vera notices that Dasha has a clear crush on Kuzya, and she becomes jealous.

Kuzya tries to stop drunkenness among the tractor drivers and improve the work of the collective farm. Meanwhile, on Kruglov's orders, Herman carries out a dangerous money transaction that unexpectedly backfires on the conspirators themselves.
