[Episode 22]

Good morning.

-What are you doing? -Hey.

Look.

-Are you getting married? -What wedding. Take a look.

Really? You and me?

Absolutely true.

China's best news coverage of the year.

Let's hug.

What smell is it? You didn't change?

What smell are you talking about?

You were so drunk you couldn't tell the way back home. You strayed deep among the lotuses. How did you get through?

- You didn't go back home last night, did you? - What's up with all of this nonsense?

Xiaolang was away for a few days already. Why are you putting up with this show?

Let me tell you. I am in a good mood so I let you go with it.

- Come here. - What's wrong, Weiming?

What's wrong?

What is going on?

What do you mean? You are just back, you find fault in me.

He will be charged with rape.

You want to see him become a father,

a husband? Or you want him to eat prison meals?

Everything could be talked over. You are his blood brother.

He might have acted on impulse when being with that girl. Aren't you going to harm them by making them get married?

He is not your blood brother. Doesn't your waist break standing here blabbering?

You are the saint out here meanwhile I am not human enough!

You have never spanked him while raising him up!

And you've made him turn out into an adult without any skills or vision!

This is all thanks to your hardworking family!

You've been keeping up this bad temper for years! I won't let you provoke me! You are taking advantage of the situation!

How could you have mercy on everyone else but me?

Why?

I am telling you, Qiao Yicheng. Be careful not to become as despicable as in the past!

From today on, I wish you all well. You take care of your own family's matters.

You can deal with the issues of your own blood brother.

I won't disturb Your Majesty anymore!

What do you want?

- What's wrong? - What could be wrong?

What happened between you and Qi Weiming? Isn't he your cousin?

What were you just fighting about in the flower field?

He's left already. Why are you behaving like that?

Come on, listen to your brother's advice!

Loneliness is inevitable when you are guarding an empty room. Please understand that!

Isn't it better to look around and see what we truly posses?

Are you mad?

Alright. Our family situation is kind of complicated.

Even if I spend half an hour I won't be able to finish the entire story. I will tell you some other time.

Could you help me out with something, though?

But I can only handle this world's matters, I can't cast out devils!

Take it seriously!

Do you have a girlfriend in Tibet?

In Tibet?

- What do you want to do? - Help me inquire some info about someone!

Birdy! Oh the youth days!

You are flying so well and high!

You're searching for grains the entire day.

Just to bring them back to feed your daddy!

Why are you eating this?

Dad!

They are completely tasteless but still chewy!

I am forcing myself to eat this up.

It's rare you do such a nice gesture for your father!

No! Why are-yo-ea-...why didn't you ask whose noodles are these?

I didn't cook it for you.

What's the problem? Should I ask for permission to eat noodles in my own house?

You only care about filling your stomach, you don't care about your old father.

Even the baby crow feeds its mother after growing up. Stop being so stingy!

I haven't even eaten them! They were for my boyfriend!

Fine! I will feed the cabbage I am planting to the pigs!

What did you say?

Your boyfriend is coming over?

He got discharged?

His severance pay is quite high, isn't it?

Has he given you any money or he's given his mother?

I don't know.

You don't know!

I am telling you, guys. You should be more generous.

If I was to rent out this house, this place.

I would make at least 400 or 500 yuan a month.

I really don't know about it! Besides that, you know how tired he must be now!

Let him rest a little and then ask him about it! Can't you?

I am telling you, you must make sure this severance pay gets into your hands. Okay?

Don't be stupid and leave all the credits to him! Understood?

Understood!

Your boyfriend.

Chenggang! This is my dad!

Good afternoon, uncle!

You've returned from Tibet!

Haven't you brought back anything with you from there?

I have...

You must have not eaten noodles in a long time!

Dad...don't you

have a silhouette jacket?

You should borrow it to Chenggang.

He has just come back and hasn't washed his clothes yet.

Fine. I will go look for it.

Simei! I am going to the bathroom to wash this.

Alright.

He will really enjoy this!

Dinner's ready!

Brother Qiao! Have a taste from my stewed chicken gizzards!

Oh, my! I came at the wrong time!

Auntie Wu!

Are you awake?

I am hungry! Is there any food?

The noodles are ready...

How comes you haven't said a word about coming back?

I was just about to go see you there.

Chenggang...haven't you come earlier than you were supposed to?

I don't think I've miscounted the days...

What happened?

No problem! There's no problem!

You're back home! You have me!

I have just got fired...

How can you rinse rice this way? Here.

Move aside and watch.

It's even hot water.

I'm telling you. You can use hot water to rinse the rice. The nutriets will be washed away.

Remember that.

- Use cold water from now on. - I'm thirsty.

I want to drink water.

What's happened?

My leg is numb. Help me.

Gently. Gently.

I admit it's my fault.

But I was really too tired at that time.

You know it too. Sometimes I drive on the high plains by myself for several hundred kilometers.

It's all my fault. It's all my fault.

It's all my fault!

If I didn't doze off,

the accident wouldn't have happened. It's all my fault.

- It's all my fault. - Okay, okay. Don't be like this.

I don't dare to go home now.

I don't know how to tell my parents.

I also don't know how to tell my relatives and the neighbors.

You are all I have now.

Simei,

don't leave me, okay?

It's delayed too long.

What's taken too long?

Our matter. It's delayed for too long.

Chenggang, do you still want to marry me?

If you want to,

let's find the time to get the marriage certificate.

It's fine now, okay?

♪ Nine hundred ninety-nine roses ♪

You haven't finished eaten the noodles?

It's probably cold now.

It's not cold.

Do they treat you well?

Your sister told me to tell you.

If they don't treat you well,

or you are not used to living there,

you can always come to us. We'll think of a solution for you.

Qiqi,

how did you...

Brother, beat me, scold me.

I know that I made a mistake.

It's okay, Qiqi.

I don't blame you.

Isn't there a saying?

When a young person make mistakes, people will forgive them.

Besides,

I'm your brother.

You... Why are you here?

Big Brother.

Why are you wearing the old man's clothes?

You haven't gone back to your home, or you went and returned here?

I... I haven't gone back.

What are you doing here then?

Simei...

is arguing with Uncle Qiao

Let go.

Big Brother, why are you back?

It doesn't make any difference who comes back.

Let me tell you again, Qiao Simei.

Don't keep chasing that Qi Chenggang.

He is discharged from the military but stays at our house instead of going home.

Go to the streets and ask around, is this proper?

He is my boyfriend. How is it not proper?

Are you married? Do you have the certificate?

Not married, and without the certificate,

can it be so casual?

We've been in love for over a year. It's not casual.

This is called love?

In total, you've only seen each other three times.

I see the next door's wild dog even more times that you two have.

Who are you saying is the wild dog?

It's fine to live here.

But he must pay rent, so he is renting.

Otherwise, I'm too embarrassed to show my face.

You live together without getting married. If people hear about it, I'd be a launghingstock.

All these years, haven't you done enough to be laughed at?

What have I done?

If he doesn't pay, I won't let him live here.

An outsider lives here, I charge the rent. This is my right.

Enough now, no more arguing.

Qiao Simen, I think the old man is actually right this time.

See? See? Heaven finally has eyes. Someone understands.

Big Brother.

It's useless even if you call Big Master.

No money, no stay.

If you don't do what I say,

you can leave too. Go sleep on the street.

I'm with someone I like.

Not only sleeping on the street, I'm willing to sleep under the bridge.

Fine. I'll fulfill your wish.

Leave then! Leave right now!

I'll leave.

- Qiao Simei. - Don't mind her.

- Qiao Simei! - Don't mind her.

Pack.

Let them leave. They want to live for free?

What? You want to wait for me to die and occupy the house?

If you are capable, take off my clothes.

Get up.

Take it!

You want to live in my house?

In your dream!

Simei, what should we do now?

Will you leave me?

I won't. I definitely won't.

No matter what happens, I won't.

You won't leave no matter what happens?

Truly.

What if... What if I am a good-for-nothing?

How can you be a good-for-nothing?

I'm saying, what if?

If you keep wasting time talking,

you will have nothing left.

- Big Brother. - Big Brother.

Come with me.

Big Brother.

What are you doing? You don't have eyes when you walk? This is such a place, you still squeeze in?

This is bad luck. You've been following us many days.

You see that our business is good, so you come to take advantage of my business?

Big sister, clearly you are the one taking advantage of my business.

It's been a week. Wherever I go, you go. Wherever I am, you are also there.

It's just a little space left. What do you want me to do?

You can go wherever you want.

You can leave. I'm not leaving.

What? You see that I'm a woman, so you can easily bully me?

Just try. Just try.

- What are you doing? - He's hitting people.

Who is hitting you?

Who is hitting you?

Big Brother, this is really bothering too much. The two of us

can just go to the hotel.

Hotel?

Sure.

Will you get two rooms or one room?

One room, of course. This way...

Change your shoes. Put the stuff on the floor.

Qi Chenggan and I will sleep out here at night, and you sleep inside the room.

No need, Big Brother. You are the host. You should sleep inside.

Qi Chenggang and I can sleep on the sofa and the cot.

Qiao Simei, if you keep saying such shameful talk, you can go sleep on the street.

You go sleep in the bedroom in a while, and we will sleep out here.

What is it, Sanli? What's happened?

Mom, it's nothing.

I actually bumped my leg.

It's fine.

I'll go take a shower.

Stand right there.

Sit down.

Talk. What happened?

Don't say that you fell. Don't dream of lying to me.

You have to believe me. I really fell.

I fell down when I was doing maintenance at the company.

It's work injury. The company has promised to pay.

Okay, I will go to your company tomorrow and ask how they are going to pay.

Don't, Sanli.

You're still not telling the truth.

Sit.

I got into a little trouble when I was setting up a stall.

Why were you setting up a stall?

Are you so short of money? The money I give you for miscellaneous expenses isn't enough?

It's not that.

Some co-workers in our unit are having babies this month.

I need to give them gift money.

When a few guys go out to drink together, that costs money too.

Also, some of them are getting married. I have to give something, right?

Also, my new partner is new.

The quality doesn't pass, and there is a penalty.

I can't let the young kid spend the money, right?

- Also... - Also, you can't make up the story anymore.

Your wife has already seen through you.

Your ability to lie isn't even half of Simei's.

Are you going to tell the truth?

You won't tell?

- I'll tell. Sit down. - Say it then.

Some time ago, didn't Yining want

money to buy a house to marry?

Didn't I already tell Mom that we don't have the money?

Don't be angry.

I've calculated the time. You indeed came back early, right?

Big Brother, I wasn't going to deceive you on anything.

It's fine. Even if you want to deceive, you can't cover it up.

Tell me about it. What exactly happened?

I...

discharged early.

Something happened?

He achieved merits.

Qiao Simei, go to sleep.

We are talking. It's none of your business.

Achieved merits? Why are you discharged early if you made a contribution?

He went to support and he is always good at his mission.

But his lungs are wounded.

You know too that, in Tibet,

you can't help but return if your lungs are wounded.

The military recommended that I discharge in advance

to nurture my body.

Then, about the arrangement to change career

and the pension, are they normal?

They are the same as a regularly discharged soldier.

Which unit are you transferred to?

- That... - He will be an officer in a public transportation company.

Why do you knowm ore than he does?

A public transportation company is good.

When will you go to check in?

At that time, you won't worry about your lodging then.

Big Brother, actually the pay isn't that good there.

I still want to make more money when I'm young

so that I can plan for getting married later.

Get married?

Qiao Simei, I'm not the one getting married to you.

It's too dark, I couldn't see clearly.

Have you two made any plans together?

Yes.

Big Brother, Chenggang will be very good to me. Don't worry.

Have you told your family? When will you two see the parents?

How many tables for the wedding banquet? Where will you live after getting married?

We won't have a banquet.

Erqiang.

Can I hug you to sleep?

Do you love me?

How deep are your feelings for me?

I am grateful to you.

I am grateful that you don't dislike me, found a job for me,

and wanted to marry me.

Simei?

Simei?

To my dearest Big Brother,

I thought all night after hearing what you said.

We really should plan our life from now.

Qi Chenggang and I will first go back to the old house to pick up my household registration card.

We wil lthen meet my parents-in-law

and pick up his household registration card while there.

That's right. You must have guessed!

We have decided to get our marriage certificate.

The two of us will then go to the ends of earth

to let heaven and earth witness our love

witness our destiny,

and witness this happiest union in this world.

We are leaving at night.

Please don't try to chase us to the ends of earth.

With my lover by my side, I'm not afraid of anything.

Just put your heart inside your belly. (T/N: Don't worry.)

Why did you get up so early today?

It's your birthday today.

Hurry and sit.

I bought this tofu at the supermarket.

Its taste probably isn't as good as that from the shop you like.

Why are you dazed? Hurry and eat.

You can't get full by watching.

I'm off today. I'll cook dinner then.

Let's celebrate your birthday.

I've never celebrated my birthday.

I don't think there's anything to celebrate for my birthday. Don't get busy just for me.

Do you think I'm bothersome?

Or, you've already made a date to celebrate with someone else?

I don't think you are bothersome.

I also don't have a date with anyone.

I just think that a birthday can be celebrated, or not.

You are always so tired from work.

You're finally having time to rest. No need to spend it on my birthday.

I mean it.

I'm not tired.

If I were tired, I wouldn't have wanted to celebrate your birthday.

I don't think it's bothersome, and I don't think it's tiring.

Don't think of any reasons to decide for me.

Come home as soon as you can after you work overtime.

My mom and I will wait for you. The whole family can have a lively time.

Oh yes, Sanli, we agreed on this before you got married.

Since you and Yiding are living at home, you should pay rent.

You must not feel bad about this.

Paying rent is a rule that's been passed down from our family's ancestors.

When children are married, if they live at home, they must pay rent.

Actually, it's just a token of expression.

Mom, I've already prepared it.

No need for this much.

Mom, this savings isn't just the rent from Yiding and me.

Previously, wasn't Yining going to buy a house?

As his older brother and sister-in-law, we should help.

But, we also have a family and we'll also havve children to raise.

Yining has his own hands and feet.

He can't be like a comatose patient

who stretches his hands for clothes and opens his mouth to eat. Isn't that right?

You were just saying that too. We should be self-reliant.

How can anyone easily take someone else's advantage?

So, there is rent for six months from Yiding and me in this savings book.

We don't have any extra anyway.

Sanli, what you say can't be right.

Whatever Yining needs, of course Yiding has to help.

They are both surnamed Wang. They are biological brothers.

Mom, you have probably forgotten.

That's before. It's different now.

How is it different?

Yiding married me. Yiding's and my family

doesn't only have the Wangs.

Also, I'm pregnatn with Yiding's child.

Our child can be surnamed Wang or Qiao.

Isn't that right?

Oh yes. That beeper,

Yining can keep it. It's fine.

However, the young women these days

have high standards. He must have real knowledge and skills.

Otherwise, not to mention a high-class beeper,

even if he carries a phone on his belt,

it'll still be useless.

Mom, I've finished eating.

Mom.

Mom! Do you think we can put tofu yet?

Yes.

You should have put it in earlier.

So little?

It's leftover from this morning. It's not spoiled, so I...

I told you to go to buy from that shop that Erqiang likes.

Once cooked, isn't it the same when you put it in your mouth and eat it into the belly?

I feel sick looking at it now.

I should just throw it away.

Don't do anything with the chicken. You can stirfry the celery.

I'll go buy tofu.

Master, you should rest. I want to tell you something.

Go ahead and talk. I'm not deaf.

I want to give you a gift.

- I don't want it. - Why?

It's not the new year's or any holiday.

Why do you want to give me a gift?

- I have my own reason. - What's the reason.

- Master, you've forgotten. - What have I forgotten?

It's been so long, I'm sure you've forgotten.

Qiao Erqiang.

Happy Birthday.

Master, you still remember.

Why are you smiling so silly? I only just remembered.

It's your birthday, why are you giving me a gift?

Because I hope that you will accept my gift.

- And then? - And then I'll have the gift you give me.

Are you playing a brain twister with Master?

I don't understand anything that you're saying.

What is it?

These are tickets from the skating rink.

I want to invite you and Zhiyong sometime to go skating.

Because I want to skate once more with Master.

Saturday's tickets. So it won't affect Zhiyong going to school.

Just agree, Master.

I don't have any special intention. I only want to skate once more with you.

Only once.

- I beg you, Master. - Just once?

I'll put away the tickets for you for now.

Are you here to buy tofu? I'll tell them f or you.

Mom, Xiaomo, you've worked hard.

Xiaomo cooked all of these. She worked the hardest.

Xiaomo, you worked hard.

I bought tofu.

I'll make tofu with scallions. It so happens that there are two scallions left.

No.

I can eat tofu tomorrow, the next day, and later on.

But I don't want to eat it today. Okay?

Okay, of course.

I'll listen to you. You don't want to eat it, then I won't make it.

Let's not eat tofu. Let's eat the dishes.

Try them.

Wait.

Erqiang, this is a birthday gift for you.

Xiaomo, this watch is too expensive. You should return it.

I do rough work. I shouldn't wear such an expensive watch.

So what that you do rough work?

I'm giving it to you, you should take it. I want you to wear it, you should wear it.

It's your birthday.

It's said that a watch is a man's second face.

With a good watch, you'll live more decently.

Besides, this watch preserves value.

I'm sorry.

I can't let you live a decent life now.

I am not able to give you good things.

Don't just say empty talk.

No actual action.

It's like rooster only crows but doesn't lay eggs.

I don't care about materialistic things.

I only want you to cook for me every day and be good to me.

Eat.

In other words, she has sent us from different addresses.

But the letters have the same content.

In the envelope, it's always just a postcard and a note.

The postcards are blank, and the notes say the same thing.

And on the back of the note, it is written

if it's not done according to her wish, she and Qi Chenggang will never come back.

What she means is for all of us to write on this postcard

some congratulatory words, and send them together back to her.

Formalism. Petite bourgeoisie romance.

It's all nonsense. If she doesn't return, just forget it.

I'm at an old age.

I'm not participating in this activity.

You guys do what you want.

What do we do, Big Brother?

Big Brother, should we do the way Simei wants?

Older Sister Simei, congratulations.

I'm living okay.

Older Brother-in-law looks...

a lot less handsome than I am.

I am especially especting the baby to be born.

The sooner I give birth, the sooner I'll be free.

Lingzi wrote the last paragraph. Don't get upset.

Congratulations on your wedding.

I wish you to be happy together and grow old together.

A couple for a lifetime.

Wishing for one heart. Never to separate.

♫ I have the courage to step forward ♫

Don't eat and drink irregularly. Have fun.

Live to be a hundred, stay together forever.

I tried hard to persuade Big Brother not to be upset with you.

♫ ...flowing with the wind ♫

When you come back, explain nicely to Big Brother.

Don't make a fuss from now on.

If you really like him, then live well.

Sis.
