[The Bond]

[Episode 17]

Coming!

I'm coming!

Hurry and open the door, that should be Sanli.

Why are you here?

Why can't I be? I'm here to see my sister-in-law.

Simei's here? I called her over.

- Where's Sanli? - What? - Where is Sanli.

Behind. Anyways, she walks slow.

You're dressed up today.

Isn't that right? Newly upgraded fishbone braids.

- Sister-in-law! - You're here?

You're not going to help with your sister's bags?

It's not heavy.

Sister Xinyu also passed the exam to get into the TV station.

Currently, she's colleagues with my Big Brother.

Really? That's amazing.

I can do it myself.

- You can go. - Alright, I'll get a cup of water for you.

Okay.

I think they look similar.

- They're really similar! - I know right?

- What are you laughing about? - Not going to tell you.

What's this?

An English exam?

You have to learn English at the newspaper?

It's not at the newspaper. Your big brother and I—

Your sister-in-law wants to study it.

Once she is fluent in English, she can cover more topics..

Why does Big Brother also need to study?

I'm also a journalist. We are studying together.

Also, I'm a part of the TV Station. I can't fall behind.

That's true.

Now I feel balanced.

Would you look at that, not a single field can be without English.

I must learn it.

This is so hard!

Brother, I want to talk to you about something.

Go ahead.

Alright.

About Yiding's penalty for breech of contract, I'll think of something.

Big Brother, if you're facing difficulty

or it's hard to tell sister-in-law--

It's fine!

I'm really happy that you and Yiding could make up.

All these years, you've always...

You've always been through tough times.

I don't know what I could do for you.

You had to get through on your own.

I know.

Never think that there's something wrong with you.

You might not want to hear this,

but even if in the future, you think Yiding isn't the one

and break up with him, it's fine. That's very normal.

Don't blame yourself.

Maybe afterwards, you'll meet someone even better like Erding or Sanding. (TN: 'Yi' means 'one', 'er' means 'two', and 'san' means 'three'.)

However, I sincerely hope you two can get along.

Love is... the most luxurious of luxury.

You can't attain it just from hard work.

Unlike someone, who is in a lone-sided love.

Not to mention pursuing to the highland, it's still useless pursuing to the Arctics.

Big Brother! Don't let Simei hear that.

I'll tell you, I felt he favored Sanli more since we were young.

Now that you're together everyday, make sure to tell him

Simei is the best sister, right?

Just being cute, clver, mature, and obedient doesn't make her the best sister.

- Simei's the best sister! - Right?

- Oh right, I heard from Simei that Second Brother is getting married. - Yeah.

It's set for next week.

So soon?

Hello. Excuse me, how do we get to the Bureau of Civil Administration?

The Bureau of Civil Administration?

You two got off early, it's at the next stop.

I don't think your photos will do.

Why not?

We got these taken at an official photo studio.

The background color is incorrect.

The red isn't pure red but more rosy red.

Let me take a look.

Then... let's come back another day.

It is a little rosy red.

But it'll do, let's get this done for you.

[Marriage Certificate]

How about if we eat out?

Let's go celebrate at a restaurant.

Sure! We should go to the place you wanted.

[Marriage Certificate]

You're back?

Hurry and wash your hands.

Today, let's have a good meal as a family.

Erqiang, I heard that your cooking skill is as good as a professional chef.

Try my cooking today.

I bought at chicken from the market in the morning and made soup.

Give it a try.

Thank you, Auntie.

You're supposed to call me mom.

- Thank you, mom. - No problem.

You're fine, you're fine.

Are you feeling better?

Heavens! What's wrong, Xiaomou?

Someone, come!

- What's going on? - The chief is here.

Xiaomou, are you alright?

- Big Brother. - Yeah?

What's this?

- I can't accept this. - Be a good boy.

- I can't! - Take it!

Live a good life with Xiaomou from now on.

You are a married person now.

You're someone with his own family.

I haven't hosted a banquet yet. It doesn't count.

Why doesn't it count?

It counts once you've got the marriage certificate.

Do you think a legal document is a plaything?

Big Brother, I feel muddle-headed now.

What you have is called fear of marriage.

It's fine. Everyone goes through it once.

Second Brother, I noticed your photo looks better than the real you.

Most people look awful in this kind of photos.

There you go again. Second Brother is good-looking anyway.

That Simei. ♫ With your light ♫

♫ I won't be flustered ♫

♫ Don't worry about time and tide separating us at times ♫

♫ Don't worry about time and tide separating us at times ♫

- Hello, Chengqang.

What's the matter?

I just watched a TV drama.

It is so touching.

I thnk you have too much free time when you're not working. I'm hanging up.

Have you received my letter?

Don't write me for a while. I don't have time to read the letters.

I am particularly busy now, and soon I'll be transferred to Lhasa.

To Lhasa? (in Tibet)

This time, I can go find you first.

Then we can go to Lhasa together.

We can also see the peach blossom. I can also stay longer this time—

Don't come. Give me a break. Don't make more trouble.

Why? You don't miss me?

Wait til after I'm discharged, and we'll have plenty of time to see each other.

Discharged? Are you having problems in getting promoted to Platoon Leader?

Hello Chenggang?

I can't talk anymore. My dad is home. Take good care of yourself.

I'm hanging up.

Qiao Simei, I've caught you.

No wonder our phone bill is so high.

Who were you calling? That soldier?

You know how much one minute costs in long-distance calls?

You are not watching TV, so why is it on? Is electricity free?

I am watching.

I don't care about you and that soldier getting together.

But don't use the home phone to call from now on.

Go to Second Auntie's house to call.

Isn't a phone for making calls?

Second Auntie and Uncle Ma have gone on vacation to Sanya. (on Hainan Island)

Besides, we've taken so many advantages of Second Auntie.

I installed this phone in order to contact clients.

It's not for you to make love calls.

Enough, enough, move aside, move aside.

I'm making calls.

The phone bills is high because of your calls.

Who knows why you have so many calls to make?

I'm discussing business.

President Liu?

This is Little Qiao.

Let's look. It's called

It has two words.

Then, in terms of 3D objects

which types do we commonly see on tests?

First we'll start with

the common question of

3D cross-sections

Qiao Qiqi, stand up and answer.

I talked about the Pythagorean theorem in the last class.

Did you memorize it when you went home?

Keep thinking. Whenever you can remember, you can sit down.

Qiao...

Brother Song.

- Qiao something... - Simei!

Right, Simei.

Simei, you don't need to call me Brother Song.

You can just call me Little Brother Song.

If you keep calling me Brother Song,

I'll have to lead 107 people to become bandits. (T/N: from famous Ming dynasty novel "Outlaws of the Marsh")

Also, it makes me seem like I'm much older than you.

Yes, Brother Qingyuan.

That sounds better. Are you looking for your brother? I'll go call him.

No need, no need. I'm not looking for my brother.

I'm looking for Sister Xinyu.

- Chang Xinyu? - Yes, yes.

Simei.

Sister Xinyu!

She's right here. That's great, you two go ahead.

- Bye bye. - Thank you, Brother. Bye!

We can't watch the movie tonight. Come with me to see Qiqi.

What's wrong with Qiqi?

My mom went on vacation with Uncle Ma. He's alone in Uncle Ma's home, so we're worried.

Wasn't he living in Grandma's house with Auntie?

He wanted to move out.

Why?

It's a long story. I'll tell you on the way.

Let's go.

Qiqi!

Why didn't you tell me you were leaving?

I-I didn't...

I... Don't we live in different directions?

It's okay. I can walk a little more.

Let's go.

Let's go!

What time is it? He should be done with school, why is he still not back?

Let's go out to see.

Kids just know to play.

Who is that girl?

I don't know... they're so young.

Not bad!

Stop!

Sister Si. Sister-in-law.

I saw everything.

Who was that?

Where did she kiss you? Let me see, where?

Tell me! If you don't tell me, I'm going to tell your teacher.

Sister Si, why are you looking at me like that?

Qiqi, do you know who's the strongest male in the house?

Not bad!

It's usually the guys who send the girls home.

You have a girl sending you home. You sure have skills!

- I... No, no. - Am I right?

No what? Are you afraid to own up to your actions?

If your second brother knew, he would cry to death.

Hurry up and eat before the noodles get soggy.

Regular dating is really okay, but your older brother sent you to

PC training to learn a skill.

Keep that in mind and know what's more important.

I understand, Sister Ah.

That's good.

Have you been assimilated by Big Brother at the TV station?

I want to eat noodles too. Two packages.

Fry an egg, over easy.

You sure can eat a lot.

Let me tell you. Sister Xinyu is making a big issue out of a trivial matter.

Hurry up and eat. It's okay.

You can eat and talk to me about that girl.

She's just a normal classmate.

Why are you shy around me? It's such a small issue. Let me tell you, back then...

Why am I telling you about my things?

Anyway, I'm quite an expert on these things.

If you don't understand anything, just feel free to ask me.

Sister Simei, then I really need to ask you something.

Go ahead.

This... This code.

What is its calculation logic?

Did you take the savings book?

What savings book?

Don't pretend. There are only two of us at home. Who else can it be if it's not you?

I'm talking to you!

This was sent to my workplace this morning. The TOEFL results.

You've opened it?

Congratulations, you passed.

Really?

I didn't pass. Sorry.

It's okay.

No need to fear that you didn't pass.

It's a test. Just take a few more times.

You can review more and will definitely pass the next time.

Look at this. My score isn't that high. I barely passed the minimum.

So I need to review too, so I'll test a few more times and get a higher score.

Okay.

It's fine. Don't be upset.

Xiaolang, I took the savings book.

I loaned it to Sanli. They've run into some trouble and need the money.

Don't be angry, let me explain.

You don't need to explain.

I've known you for a long time.

Haven't you always done this kind of thing?

I'm used to it.

I just think that,

there is a scale in your heart,

and your family weighs more than our little family,

and more than me.

Your family is the rope that can leash a big elephant like you.

♪ You make me believe less and less in myself ♪

[Nanjing Dayou Trading Company] ♪ My special love is for the special you ♪

♪ You make me more and more... ♪

Where is everyone?

You've brought all the IDs, documents, and other materials?

I have them all.

At the Shanghai Consulate, don't panic if you run into any problem.

Talk to them slowly.

I get it.

- Go. - Go.

You are dressed up so pretty today. Where are you doing?

I'm off today, so I am going to the movie with Yiding.

He is probably almost at the front of the alleyway now.

I am envious. It's wonderful to have your boyfriend by your side.

I'm not like you. Your boyfriend isn't by yourside but exists in yoru dream.

What? You have another guy in your dream?

Quit joking. I'm asking you. You came home so late last night.

Where did you go?

I went on a date with a guy you know.

I know him? Who?

Guess.

Who? Who?

- Simei, where's your dad? - Where is your dad? Where is he?

Where is Qiao Zuwang? Where is he?

My dad isn't here. He didn't come home last night.

I definitely don't believe it!

He's not at home? I'm going into your house.

Qiao Zuwang, return the money!

- What's going on? - Return the money!

- Return the money! - Return the money!

- Qiao Zuwang, come out! - Come out!

- Qiao Zuwang, come out! - Return the money!

What is it?

It's nothing. Just ignore it.

What if it's your workplace looking for you?

If they are looking for me, I'll still ignore it.

My mission for today is to escort my wife.

Anything else? Just let it be gone with the wind.

I'm so important today?

Since I am so important today, why don't you call for a taxi? Instead, we took a bus.

Only because time is short, I would've walk you there.

Yes, I do. After all, you are so stingy, aren't you?

Hello, help me call someone.

- Help me call Qiao Yicheng. - What exactly is going on?

That b*stard Xu Funian has harmed me.

Come help me to push it back.

What do you want? What do you want?

- What's the use to come to me? I don't have money either. - Repay the money!

I don't have the money either.

Big Sisters and Big Brothers, my eldest son Qiao Yicheng

is TV news reporter. He will be home soon.

After he comes, he can explain to you in details

the policy and the situation.

(shouting)

Wait! Wait!

- It's you again! - Hurry, go find Big Brother Qiao!

- What's wrong with Big Brother Qiao? - Something's happened to Sanli! - Sanli!

I wanted you to go find Big Brother Qiao!

Don't worry. When you return, I will personally rent a car to pick you up.

It's a promise.

It's almost at the station, you should get off first.

You should hurry back to see what is going on at work. Maybe there is something urgent?

No need. I must make sure you get there.

Why are you huffing and puffing too?

Big Brother, what do you want? You are taking your time.

Qiao... Qiao...

Qiao Yicheng, right? - Qiao Yicheng.

He's not here. He's taking his younger sister... no.

He is taking his wife to the station.

I-I'm looking for him.

[Home emergency. Hurry back]

Sanli!

- Simei! - Coming, coming.

Big Brother, why have you just come? Where did you go?

What's going on?

What's happened?

Speak!

It's all because of him!

He had to do some stupid capital funding. So he got cheated.

All the money is gone. So people came here to snatch things, saying it's for repaying the debt.

Look at all the things are robbed in the house. Even my clothes are robbed.

- Big Brother, don't hit him. - Big Brother. - He is our father after all.

Big Brother, calm down.

Big Brother, don't be angry.

Let's think about what to do.

Those people said,

without money, they will come here to smash things until the money is paid back.

Tell them to come smash!

Someone caused the grievance, and someone made the debt.

Whoever caused the problem should take responsibility!

Let them come. I won't be afraid even if they come with knives.

I didn't do anything wrong.

They voluntarily handed the money to me.

I didn't use a gun to force them.

I don't have any money to pay them.

All my money is spent on that too.

Just tell them to come. There's no money, but they can have my life.

Sure, let them come!

You are such a great hero who gets stronger as you age.

You can just tell me, want an arm or want a leg?

Tell them to take whatever.

It's like when we were young.

Big Brother, Sister-in-law doesn't know that we are here.

Will she be upset when she gets back?

She won't be.

Feel good about staying here.

- Sister-in-law. - Xiaolang.

Why did you come back by yourself?

Just tell me, I will go pick you up.

Sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law.

Everyone is here?

That...

It's fine. You...

- You all can go do your thing. - It's fine. It's fine.

What's going on? Are you playing house?

Why is everyone here?

It's fine. I'm going into the room. You can keep tidying up.

Why do I have the inclination to immigrate?

They didn't even let me refute at all.

I waited in line for such a long time that my legs almost broke.

In the end, when I went inside, they threw my passport back at me within a minute and said that I had the inclination to immigrate.

What was wrong with me?

Why did they refuse giving me a visa? What did they see wrong in me?

Many people were rejected. It's okay.

We will have other chances.

Yicheng, I've decided. I'll take the TOEFL test again.

This time I'll definitely get a high score.

Sure, take the test again.

Next time, just let those foreigners

plead for you to go study in their country.

Yes, let them beg me.

Actually, I don't want to say anything about your family's matters.

But I'm finding it strange

why you guys are responsible for your dad's trouble?

You all should be rightfully telling those creditors

that they should go after whoever that owes them money.

It's a new society now. Collective punishment isn't in the law anymore.

Besides, you guys shouldn't help

that irresponsible father of yours.

He is my dad.

He also got scammed terribly. All of his money is cheated.

We can only blame that he didn't listen to me from the start.

He wouldn't listen no matter what I said. Now that he got this consequence, he deserves it.

- Then— - Don't worry.

Those people don't know where we live.

That's why I'm letting Erqiang and them to stay here for a while.

I didn't get the time to discuss with you, but they really have no place to go.

They are my own brothers and sisters after all.

If I don't shield them,

who will care if they live or die?

I'm not blaming you.

I know you really cherish your brothers and sisters.

They can stay, as long as they don't mind being crowded.

They don't mind being crowded. They 'are used to it since young.

You are the one being bothered.

It's okay.

The key is, we should let them know about our plan.

You are not changing your mind, are you?

No.

Qiao Yicheng, you are always like this.

If you don't like it, just say so! Don't keep it bottled in.

Don't be so loud. They are outside.

I'll definitely tell them about it,

but it's not the right time yet.

I understand your meaning.

Comrade Xiaolang,

I'll support all of your decisions. That will never change.

I'm going to sleep.

Sister?

Did you hear sister-in-law talk about her inclination to emigrate earlier?

Yeah, I think so.

Sister, my boss says a lot of people have been leaving the country recently.

Even older brother wants to study abroad.

Are you saying big sister-in-law wants to go abroad?

Really? Then Big brother will go with her.

I might not be that way.

There are cases that one lives here and the other goes abroad.

Stop talking nonsense.

Long distance for a couple

is not a good thing.

If you're worried, ask her yourself tomorrow.

The US is much further away than Tibet...

I wonder if Qi Chenggang received my new mailing address.

How're things going with Wang Yiding?

He said he'll be back by next week at the latest,

and that we don't have to worry about dad, he's got it all figured out.

Sister-in-law, you're still studying English? Do you need to take a test for work?

Not at all, your brother and I plan to go abroad.

So we need to review English.

Then we will take TOEFL test.

Seriously? Are you really going abroad?

Will you come back after going abroad?

Probably not.

Don't just stand here. Go eat breakfast.

I am going to office.

-Yicheng. -Yes.

Are you not happy that

I tell your siblings that we will go abroad.

Why should I be upset with you?

Sooner or later, we need to tell them.

But you keep dragging it out, are you trying to avoid the situation?

Who's avoiding things?

Tell me the truth, do you really want to go abroad with me?

Tell you the truth, I don't know, either.

But I know that I won't let you go by yourself.

I want to accompany you, I don't want us to get separated.

But if you don't really want to go,

even if you come with me you won't be truly happy.

If I'm unhappy then I'm unhappy, nothing we can do about that.

After all, we're one family.

Xiaolang, let's have a baby.

Why?

What're you laughing about?

Sometimes I think I'm really quite self-centered.

I was just thinking...

that if we had a child already,

would you not want to go abroad?

If we have a child,

we can switch to a larger house,

and live in Nanjing for the rest of our lives.

Growing old together,

and watching the children grow up.

Seeing them attending schools

Seeing them having a life of their own.

And we'll be forever intertwined,

Gnawing into ripe and fragrant sweet potatoes

with our toothless mouths.

To be honest, a life like this is also good.

Don't worry.

I'm just fantasizing by myself. I'm not really so self-centered.

We need to work hard together so we can pass the exam and study abroad.

Go to bed.

Department of OB-GYN

Ye Xiaolang?

Who's Ye Xiaolang?

Sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law.

Second brother just stewed some chicken soup,

Drink it while it is warm.

- Xiaolang? - Big Brother.

It is fine.

Are things better?

Not yet

What happened? Anything wrong?

Look at the time, and you're still listening to the TOEFL material?

I only wanted to distract myself a little,

but in the end it was still useless.

Yicheng

I will give you a child eventually.

OK.

We will give the child the best we can.

and we'll give it lots and lots of love.

OK.

Look.

I've been promoted to forewoman! How do I look?

What?

Are they arguing?

- Why're they arguing? Again? - Don't go in.

Give it to me.

Were you arguing again?

Why did they argue?

They weren't.

Look how beautiful our Simei is,

so pretty, you're beautiful in anything.

Don't cry.

I'm sorry, sister-in-law,

I was so loud when I came in earlier too...

It's okay.

How can it be okay? Even thinking about it makes my heart hurt.

Alright, no more tears,

I still haven't cried, why're you crying.

It's delicious.

Should I get you another bowl?

N-no, I've had too much, you drink it yourself.

How's that okay?

Right now you need to eat well and recover your body,

only after that can you have another child.

If the first pregnancy is accidentally miscarried,

it can easily lead to health issues and persistent miscarriage in the future.

I'll do a little more studying, go drink your soup outside.

Try to feel better.
