[Episode 20]

Xiaomo!

What are you doing here?

I'm here to pick you up from work.

You've been working overtime and getting home later and later. I'm worried about you running into bad guys on the way home.

Where are the bad guys? Look at what time it is!

You'll really need to look to find someone in the streets at this hour.

It's good that you don't run into any.

Big brother has said, we should be more vigilant.

Are you worrying me on purpose to get me sick so you can make fun of me?

So that you can put on a righteous look while you save me and help me? So that you can find a sense of purpose?

What do you mean?

I'm really just worried about your safety.

That's why I came to pick you up. I didn't mean to worry you.

If this bothers you, I'll stop.

If you need me to pick you up, just let me know in advance. Will this work?

I...I've been a little stressed out recently.

I'm exhausted. So if I said anything-

I understand. You don't have to tell me that.

You've been working late.

I just move books around during the day and have nothing to do at night.

If you need someone to pick up you up, just tell me. You can complain about things on the way.

You'll feel better after you vent out your frustrations.

Why do you have to put yourself so low? You are bringing this on yourself.

You are mad, but not because of me.

It doesn't hurt me.

Erqiang,

How are you so patient?

You never got mad at me.

I've never done anything for you.

Me neither for you.

I just cook for you sometimes.

I have a business trip this weekend. I'm sorry.

What's there to apologize for? This is a good thing!

Manager Chen doesn't give work to anyone but you.

That means he has recognized the work that you have put in.

We take turns to go on the business trips. Last time was Yali.

I don't understand much about your work.

You should think more about your own life.

You can't spend the rest of your life moving books around.

Big Sister-in-law, don't be sad.

There are many parents like this.

Look at my dad.

Although he is bad in a different way from yours,

It's just like this. Good people are all the same.

While there are a thousand different ways to be a bad person.

Luckily, my siblings looked after one another.

Big Brother didn't like me. He liked Sanli better.

That's not true, Simei.

Your brother really cared about you. You bother are important to him.

More important than himself.

Now it's only me and father at home.

I really missed him.

Although he is naggy, he has always been nice to me.

Not just naggy.

He's stingy too.

We should call him Auntie Qiao. (T/N: insinuating he nags a lot)

Big Sister-in-Law, when will he join you after you leave?

To be honest,

I think...

He might not go.

That's just a premonition.

That's how I feel too.

What's good about America?

You should come back soon as you finish school.

I didn't expect it to be this simple.

It was never that complicated. You were both just overthinking.

Say,

A married couple live in two places.

With such a long distance separating the two of them.

We might run out of things to talk about.

How can we keep the relationship alive?

Big Brother's love for you wouldn't change.

I'm not saying you would change.

You are so innocent.

I'll take this as a compliment.

Of course it's a compliment.

Innocent people are usually lucky.

In my opinion, you don't need to try to keep relationships alive.

Relationship

Has it's own life and own mind.

And it's a strong one.

You can't extinguish it even if you want to.

Just like you and...

Your soldier on the border.

Love comes and goes without giving you any warnings.

You have no control over it.

It sometimes even control you.

I'm a little worried about Chenggang.

He hasn't-

Mom, you are up early.

How can I sleep when you are making so much noise in the morning?

Xiaomo worked late last night and didn't have time to pack.

I just saw her off.

She went on a business trip?

Didn't you see her off at the train station?

No. She only let me go to the bus stop.

You didn't go because she said so.

Does she really need to tell you everything you need to do?

That's right. I'm a family member of Qi Chenggang.

Comrade, can you tell me the number to Chenggang's battalion in Lhasa?

I moved recently and haven't received letters from him.

He must be worried.

Yes. One sec.

This is a new pen.

I got it.

Auntie! Auntie!

- Clean underneath the table. - Sure.

And the couch too.

That's good.

Are you alright?

What's wrong?

Mom!

Slowly!

Hello? Yiding?

What's wrong?

What happened to Sanli?

Big Brother.

- Big Brother. - Don't stand. Sit.

What did the doctor say?

Don't let Yiding mislead you. He was too nervous. I'm alright.

- Really? - Yes.

- Big Brother. - Wang Yiding, let me ask you.

Sanli is pregnant. How did she fall at home?

And she almost lost the baby?

My mom asked her to mop the floor. The floor was slippery.

Your mom even ask her to mop the floor when she is pregnant.

Where were you?

I was not up yet.

Yiding has been working late recently.

If I didn't fall, we didn't even know I was pregnant.

Do you think I'm like Erqiang?

Did you think you can fool me that easily?

You don't feel anything when you are pregnant?

Big Brother, I'm sorry.

Sanli, I'm sorry.

Enough.

You should go check on mother. She might have twisted her back.

Keep her company.

Or else when she gets home, she'll complain about not feeling well.

What are you staring at? Go. I'll look after Sanli.

Medical records.

That's right.

Go.

How are you feeling?

Really, I'm fine.

Stop worrying.

Thank you.

Big Brother.

What are you doing in the hospital?

I brought Auntie here.

What's wrong with her?

I was at the corner store. Her stomach suddenly started hurting.

She couldn't bear it. So I took her here.

Is it serious?

The doctor said there is a tumor. But likely a benign tumor.

They need to run more tests.

Where is she? I'll go take a look.

Don't go. Uncle Ma is with her.

After all, they need to do tests and check in to the hospital.

You will only make it more hectic.

Brother, I saw it.

What did you see?

- Is your wife pregnant again? - Huh?

This is for Sanli.

Seriously? That's quick!

- Am I about to be an aunt? - That's right.

This is great!

What are you not happy?

Am I?

You look really unhappy.

Is mother alright?

She went to bed right after we got home.

She must be exhausted after spending all day in the hospital.

- What is this? - Olive oil.

Are you making some dish with it?

No.

Unbutton your shirt.

Why?

Olive oil can prevent stretch marks.

We will remember to put it on everyday.

Stretch marks?

Put it on my arm first.

Where did you learn this?

When you were doing tests today, I was really scared.

I read the pregnancy info sheets on the walls.

I read them over and over and you still didn't come out.

Are you worried that I'll have stretch marks?

You won't like me if I have them?

Then why are you so careful about it?

I won't dislike you no matter how you look.

I was worried that

You might dislike yourself.

I don't want you to dislike yourself.

So you can't have one stretch mark from your pregnancy.

I'll work more overtime and save up enough money.

Let's rent our own place.

Although this is not the best solution.

You want to move out?

I don't want you to be treated unfairly.

Although your mother treated me like this, I didn't feel that I was treated unfairly.

So long as you are good to me.

And good to the child too.

We can't go on our honeymoon.

I'll save the money too.

We can travel together with the child.

You are cheating. You are cutting two trips to one.

No. However many times you want to go.

I won't cheat.

Let's put more on.

Not just the arms.

Legs, belly, and your back too.

Where is Xiaolang and Yicheng?

They are busy.

How does it feel to have your personal driver?

Are you happy?

We are.

The van is more comfortable than a small car.

We are happy.

Xiao Song. Where did you say you are taking us?

What is it call? Something-pital?

Pital?

Hos-pital.

Uncle.

- Slowly. - Careful.

Careful. The car is a little tall.

This is the hospital!

How can you play trick on us with Yicheng!

Uncle, this is the best hospital in town.

A good son-in-law like Yicheng,

You won't find it anywhere.

We don't nee to see a doctor.

I know. Since we are here.

Just follow me in.

Come with me.

What is this for?

Give me a couple minutes.

What are we doing here?

Here. Have a seat.

Have some rest.

It will be your turn shortly.

My turn to do what?

Take the tests.

Humans are like machines.

If there is a problem, we should run tests to identify them.

Repair what needs to be repaired. Change what needs to be changed.

You can't drag it on. It will only get more serious.

Change and Repair? What are you talking about?

He is very healthy.

Auntie, it's not up to you to judge.

We should listen to the doctor.

Very well. Just have seat here. I'll go pay for the tests.

There's always so many people here.

Although big cities are ripe with opportunities,

It's no good if you lose your health.

Am I right, uncle?

Why did it take so long? Is everything alright?

Qingyuan, we have the results.

The good news is,

After meticulous examinations,

We concluded that the old gentleman is healthy.

There are no issues.

He is like a man in his forties.

Very well.

Don't worry sir.

You can live up to at least 100 years old.

Thank you doctor.

We should shoot for a thousand years.

Now we can go home without worries.

Sorry for the troubles.

Anytime.

I'll take you out to dinner.

Qi Weimin is coming back next week. We should have dinner together.

To send you guys off.

Send off who?

You guys. Chang Xingyu is going to America around the same time too.

What is she going there for?

The station is sending her over for half a year.

There is one more thing that I want us to do together.

Why are you being so polite?

Your parents are leaving the day after tomorrow. We should see them off.

I didn't even pick them up. Why would I see them off?

They still don't know that you are going to America.

We should go see them.

They will more at ease if they see you. They won't feel we are plotting against them.

Moreover, you don't know when you'll see them again.

You are always trying to help me.

Well.

Stop saying "thank you" and "I'm sorry".

[Suxin Tofu Store]

[We are taking one day off on Saturday.]

What's wrong?

Xiaomo, I'll drop you off here.

I understand. It's inconvenient.

What if someone runs into us near my house.

Xiaomo, that's not what I mean.

I don't want it to affect your life.

After all, you are a girl. Your reputation is the most important.

Reputation? You think too much of yourself.

Sometimes, I wonder.

Do I really love you?

Or was I just stubborn because I couldn't get it.

I just want to prove a point.

Enough. I don't want to hear it anymore.

Let's break up on good terms.

Fine. Xiaomo.

I'll drop you off here if you insist.

This is it.

You move forward. I move back.

We will go at the same time.

Neither of us should turn back. We are not seeing each other off.

What's wrong?

Manager Chen, you must have watched too much Japanese drama.

What do you mean?

Do you think you are in Tokyo Love Story?

I...

You are a bully!

What if I am!

- Put your hand back. - What are you doing?

Have some.

You are right.

Are you coming?

- Of course! - I'll bring you guys.

You are paying for it.

Good.

- You have to pay. - No, what about tomorrow?

Tomorrow afternoon. After class.

Why are you ignoring Qiqi?

Stop it. Why do I care about him?

I am not related to anyone.

My mother says there is no rush. A girl should be picky.`

- I think mother is right. - Shut up.

Don't turn away. Look at me!

Shut up.

- Here. Come in. - Thank you Yicheng for going through all the troubles.

You are so busy. Why did you come pick me up from the hospital?

Auntie, don't say that. You are my aunt.

Even if you are just a neighbor, I should help out too.

Troubles come with old age.

Let me do it. I'll get you some water.

Let me help you.

Why are you home?

It's not the weekend. You're not at school?

Our school has a day off today.

Why do you have a day off when it's not the New Year nor a holiday?

Our school's engine room needs upgrading,

so we came back today and will go back to school tomorrow.

Yicheng. Are you eating at home?

Uncle Ma, don't worry about it.

Just eat at home. Weiming is home.

Have some duck and some alcohol together.

- Right. - That's not it, Second Auntie. We're seeing Xingyu off.

- We'll be eating with her. - Alright.

Brother, they're talking about sending someone off.

Is Sister leaving now?

Don't you have her email? You can send her an email.

I also won't be in Nanjing.

If you have something urgent, you can look for him.

Young people also need to eat on time.

- Don't hurt your stomach. - You're right.

Let me know if there's anything I can help with in the future.

Before you suspended your job, you told me

to take care of Qiqi more.

I didn't forget.

But I recommend

that you take him wherever you go.

You should devote your utmost care to him.

It'll save you from asking other people for favors and still having to worry about it.

You speak well.

But how many times have you seen Qiqi?

That's because Xingyu was available.

Tell Qiqi to let me know if he needs anything.

Give him my email

and pager number to him.

Is that enough?

Who knew that these bean sprouts could be growing so nicely

even if Xingyu leaves them on the windowsill all day.

These bean sprouts are growing well,

don't trim them into something unrecognizable.

This is all due to my guidance.

Don't get ahead of yourself.

Once this star revolves into a wider universe,

it'll escape from your orbit.

Do you remember what I said to you on your wedding day?

What did you say?

Sometimes the ones who are one step ahead are not always the winners.

The ultimate winners are the people who can maintain their laughter until the very end.

What are you trying to say with that?

You should know very well in your heart.

When people leave, they may not come back.

Xiaolang's been wanting to leave the country

for a while now.

I'm not stopping her.

Yicheng.

That's enough.

Don't act like you're my older brother.

Spend more of your time worrying about Qiqi rather than about me.

Yiding is working overtime again, right?

Yes.

The overtime pays well, right?

Are you going to see Xiao Min?

Yes. We're trying on wedding dresses.

♫ There are some words I can't help thinking about ♫

♫ Especially "Don't worry. Go and make your way in this world." ♫

♫ I have the courage to step forward ♫

♫ Because you're pointing a light for me from behind ♫

♫ Even if time causes us to be free and flowing with the wind ♫

♫ Even if time causes us to be free and flowing with the wind ♫

Little Baby.

You only get one chance.

You won't be able to back out once you choose your family.

And you must

strive to grow up

to live the life you want to live.

Give me your wedding money

as well as your trip money. I'm giving this money

to Yining and Xiao Min. Listen to me on this one.

♫ Especially "Don't worry. Go and make your way in this world." ♫

♫ I have the courage to step forward ♫

♫ Because you're pointing a light for me from behind ♫

♫ Even if time causes us to be free and flowing with the wind ♫

Erqiang and them actually wanted to send you off,

especially Simei. She even said she was going to take the day off to send you off.

It's fine.

I'm not a contentious person.

And besides, it's not like I won't come back after I leave.

We're all still family no matter where we all end up.

♫ Even if life always has ups and downs ♫

♫ You'll comfort me in your mind as I wander ♫

Why do you keep looking at me? Eat.

This is probably the first time we had such a peaceful breakfast since we moved in.

That seems to be the case.

I've been wanting for it to be like this.

I remember the last time it was like this we pulled all-nighters to watch a movie.

Didn't your dorm have ghosts last time?

Ghosts?

Song Qingyuan, right?

Who is that? Why are they making such commotion so early in the morning?

Did you peek at my application for leave?

Big Brother, you put it so blatantly on Feng's desk. Do I need to peek?

I put it under his mug.

Then Chen probably didn't put it back after peeking at it.

Who's your Big Brother? I'm not your Big Brother.

When you get there and get your checked luggage,

you can pay someone to help you move them. Don't be reluctant to.

Take care of yourself alone over there.

Keep your money safe. Don't be as careless as you are at home.

If you can't handle it over there, you can always come back.

There's no turning back after you draw the bow.

If worse comes to worse, I'll just revert back to my original state and start over. There's nothing to be afraid of.

You're right.

You've always been a person with willpower. I can't compare to you.

♫ Maybe someone free will guess it ♫

♫ People and things from the past ♫

Take care of yourself.

Don't always set limits for yourself. Think more for yourself.

It's not selfish nor difficult.

I'll show you.

I'll also be waiting for you in America.

Okay.

The sky is high and the roads are long.

Take care of yourself.

♫ I have deep monologues ♫

Neither of you get out of the car

in a bit, don't send me off.

Why are you saying that?

I hate goodbyes.

It wasn't a big deal.

But with the sending off, I'm a mess.

You two have it good, you have someone to accompany you in the car.

You can talk and joke on the way back.

I have to digest this feeling myself.

Your temper...

It's not like I'm not coming back.

♫ Only light and shadow are left, hovering silently ♫

♫ Hovering in and out of dreams ♫

Let's go.

- I'll send you off. - Give it to me.

What did we say earlier?

I'll leave after I see you go in.

Get in the car.

I'm going now.

♫ The gains and the losses, the good and the bad ♫

♫ Who really knows ♫

♫ I have deep monologues ♫

♫ We avoid the crowd on purpose ♫

♫ Only when it's late at night ♫

♫ Do we talk about our colorful memories ♫

♫ How many stories are recorded for the rest of your life ♫

♫ About waiting ♫

What is that? Did she give you your money back again?

♫ He had a gentle future with me ♫

This is the savings I gave her before.

Our overseas expenses.

Ye Xiaolang has her own ways of affection.

This is the first time I'm hearing you compliment her.

♫ Leave some space to time and tide ♫

[I've received the money. I've dealt with the matters of the house. - Dad]

[Ye Xiaolang guarantees to save for her younger brother's betrothal price and bear the expenses of her younger brother's future marriage expenses. - Guarantor Ye Xiaolang]

Thanks. You are the driver today to send her off.

Also thanks you for many things previously.

No, no, don't thank me, and don't summarize them all.

If this were a TV drama, today could have been the grand finale.

But we still have to see each other tomorrow at the TV station.

We'll still live our lives. You'd better thank about your future plan.

There is no grand finale just living the days of our lives.

Qiao Sanli.

Here, your letter.

Thanks.

Sanli, by the time you read this letter, I would not be in Nanjing anymore.

I am going south to do business, and probably won't ever return.

You must be happy.

You dropped your stuff.

For passengers who are flyiing from Guangzhou to Hong Kong for the international flights,

To faciliate your speedy transit after you arrive in Guangzhou...)

- Zhiyong! - Mom!

Zhiyong, are you okay?

Big brother, are you okay? Can you get up?

I'm fine. I'm fine.

Master?

Big brother, I'm the one who bumped into you.

Master.

Master.

Erqiang.

Yicheng, have you been well?

Have you received the money?

In your last email, you said you've started to do underground reporting.

This kind of program is risky. You must be careful.

Everything for me here is fine. The study is pretty intense during the first semester.

But I can handle it. There's no problem with the language either.

The food is good, simple and convenient.

I cook a little from time to time.

What are you doing?

You're not watching the time. Am I going to the interview by myself?

I was just looking at my PC and didn't watch the time.

Didn't you know you can check the time on the PC?

How do you see that on the PC?

Fine, I'll teach you when we get back. Hurry and go now.

We'll be late in a little while.

Is Xiaolang doing well in the US?

Pretty well.

It's a bit hard, but she adapts very fast.

Yes, it is fast. The money is repaid fast too.

She said, when one borrows and repays, one can borrow easily again.

She doesn't contact me anymore. I'm guessing she has new friends.

We only see the new lover smile and not hear the cries of the old love. (T/N: from Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu's poem "A Fair Lady")

No. New clothes are better, but old friends are the best.

Let's find a day to get Song Qingyuan

- to eat together and chat about old times. - Sure.

How about this, let's meet before you go to the US.

Consider it a treat to send you off.

I'm not leaving the country.

Didn't you and Xiaolang take the TOEFL exam together?

Is that what she told you?

Bullshit!

Are you crazy?

You agreed to the meal to chat about times. You go, I'm not going.

The old drunkerd's intention isn't in the drinks.

Don't be affected by what Liu Xiaomeng said.

Did she mention Ye Xiaolang?

- Did she tell you previously? - Say what...

How do you know then?

Didn't I already tell you?

I know about everything.

I can guess pretty much about this kind of matter.

She isn't herself if she doesn't make up something about Ye Xiaolang.

To be honest, I am now

feeling more and more puzzled. Are they good friends or not?

Boss, potatoes, cabbage, eggplant, carrots,

- give me a kilo each. - Okay.

Separate them into two bags. Each bag is half a kilo.

Are you buying for two families?

- How much? - ¥5.1, just give me ¥5.

Here. This is for two families.

Walk safe.

Erqiang, don't fix it anymore.

I can fix it myself. You should hurry home.

It's fixed. Easy.

Don't come to the store anymore.

Don't affect your life.

Coming to the store doesn't conflict with my life.

I mean, you should spend more time with your current family.

Don't keep running outside.

This isn't good. Do you understand?

You are my master. It's not easy for you to do things by yourself.

I'm just here to help you a little. My conscience is clear.

What's wrong with it?

Also, how many times have I told you?

Don't keep bringing things here from now on.

Take them back.

Whenever I buy tofu, you never take my money.

Doesn't that make me take your tofu for free?

I've been waiting half a day for you. You just got here?

What do you want again?

I just want to treat you to a meal.

I've already made a reservation in that restaurant.

Call her and ask when she's coming back.

Hello.

Okay, then should I keep—

It's not that I'm favoring her.

No wonder she doesn't want to come home.

If you want sweet, add some salt. Don't you know?

It's the same for a man and a woman living together.

You can't always go along with her the same way.

For a woman to be attracted by a man, it depends on surprise. Isn't that right?

Do you understand or not?

No matter how sweet a date is, it's not as good as a melon with some sprinkled salt.

You can't add sugar to make it sweeter. It's by contrast.

Then, it's even sweeter when you give a beating and then give a date.

That's a little more interesting.

Isn't that too unreasonable?

I didn't say you should really beat her.

I'm talking about the attitude

when it comes to feelings.

Isn't that even more unreasonable?

Is the flavor good?

Your brain is not working.

Eating tofu every day for a month.

Is your brain made of tofu?

If I were Xiaomou, I wouldn't be able to stand lving one day like this.

Mom. Mom.

Weren't you going to meet Big Aunt to go to social dance?

I'll tidy things up.
