牛柳是一个12岁的少年，和家人一起生活在张家口坝上地区。冬天的坝上地区寒冷，主要以养羊为生。牛柳在乡里的中心学校上五年级，每周回家一次，是个品学兼优的孩子。一天，牛柳的哥哥从镇里的屠宰厂回家相亲，妈妈让牛柳去邻居家借一套茶壶以招待即将到来的女方家属。牛柳借到了茶壶，但在回家的路上不小心摔碎了茶壶。他回家后谎称没有借到茶壶，然后返回学校。 牛柳心里充满内疚，向最好的朋友牛芽青倾诉。牛芽青建议他们到镇里的供销社找同样的茶壶。供销社的售货员告诉他们没有瓷茶壶，只有铝制的小茶壶，并建议他们去县里寻找，还给出了大约五十元的价格。两个孩子凑齐了五十块钱，乘车前往县城。虽然在最大的商场找到了同样的茶壶，但价格高达八十五元，让他们感到绝望。为了节省费用，他们决定徒步回学校。第二天，在学校食堂打饭时，牛柳发现食堂的大师傅案板上有一把与需求相同的茶壶。牛柳和牛芽青说服了大师傅，用手里的钱买了一个铝壶并进行了交换。然而，在清洗茶壶时，他们发现茶壶把儿是后贴上的，显然无法还给邻居。两人只好在大师傅的冷眼下，将茶壶退还给他，换回铝壶，并在供销社退掉了铝壶。最终，牛柳和牛芽青未能解决问题，只得接受失败的结果。
