[Episode 25]

They are out.

Simei.

We'll leave now.

Xuanxuan,

Enough. If you don't want it to go to waste, I'll eat it.

Xuanxuan doesn't like celery.

You shouldn't force him to.

Let him play with mother for a bit.

You pampered him.

Kids shouldn't be picky about food. They need to have a balanced diet.

You are too tense.

We had food that we didn't like when we were little.

We grew up alright.

Yining didn't like crown daisy when she was young.

She always put it into my bowl and asked me to take care of it.

My mother didn't freak out like you.

Even he doesn't like it,

He shouldn't throw food all over the place as if they were his toys.

Big Brother told us when we were little.

You shouldn't be picky or waste food.

I'm correcting Xuanxuan's bad habits.

What would he do if you keep pampering him like this.

Enough. You are overthinking a small issue like this.

Doesn't that make you tired?

- Xuanxuan. - Enough!

You are so naggy.

It wouldn't help if you force him to eat it.

Yiding.

Shut up.

We are both women. I understand what you are going through.

Making a scene every other day. I can't stand it either.

You guys should find your own place.

You should move out. I don't want to watch you fight every day.

I've had enough.

Aren't you going to ask what happened to me?

Everyone have tough moments in love.

What's wrong?

Did Qi Chenggang treat you badly?

Did he fall in love with another woman?

Shut up. Knock on wood.

Don't jinx it.

What happened to brother-in-law this time

Really made me think.

I thought we are done with that.

You can talk to me about it.

Don't bring up to Sanli. It's their own business.

It's not your place to talk about it.

Stop staring at me like that. I can't eat.

Just say what you want to say.

You really are something.

You will continue eating and drinking

Even when the sky falls down.

Except for the day when Luhua died. You cried all day.

- And wouldn't eat- - Stick to the main point.

How do you still have apetite?

You don't know if you would be hit by an accident tomorrow.

You should really treasure what you have now.

So long as you don't hurt anyone else.

You should say what you want to say.

If you like someone, you should tell them.

You used to think it was an old woman taking advantage of me.

Tell me, how do I talk to her?

Just be honest with her.

If you like someone,

No one can stop you.

It startled me.

I thought the gods got angry at me.

If I love someone I will let them know.

What are you saying?

What is that for?

Your hands stink.

That hurts.

If you are worried about her, you should go check on her.

I am worried about leaving you home alone.

I'm an adult. What is there to worry about?

Look.

Damn it.

We still got caught in the rain despite taking a cab.

It's too late now.

You are soaked.

It ruined my freshly styled hair.

- Have you had dinner yet? - The drama is on air now.

You ate without me?

I don't want to miss anything.

Simei,

Did you have the soup?

Go. Now.

I really do want to check on them.

It's raining so heavily.

I'll head out now.

♫ I wish I could wake up and have the morning breeze soothe my sorrows ♫

Where are you going? Do you want me to give you a lift?

Don't bother him.

You've got this!

The thunder can't break your love.

♫ ...your smiling face when I look up ♫

♫ How I wish you could show me your happiness and sorrow ♫

♫ I wish our hearts were going in the same direction ♫

Master!

- Who is that? - Master!

Erqiang.

Hurry.

Make some space.

♫ And I'll always be by your side ♫

♫ Life should always face the light ♫

♫ Embrace more hope after the disappointments ♫

♫ At the end of the night is sunshine, the happiness in my hands will bloom eventually

Master.

Have some hot water.

Where is Zhiyong?

He is taking an exam tomorrow.

I told him to go to bed early.

Good.

Master.

Master.

I like you.

♫ Leave some space to time and tide ♫

Master, I like you.

I want to marry you.

♫ People and things from the past ♫

♫ Which deserves to be my preference? ♫

Erqiang, don't be like me.

My life is a mess.

♫ Old times that have turned yellow ♫

You should have a good life.

After so many years,

I can't lie to myself anymore.

My sister Simei told me.

If there is something in my heart, I should say it out loud.

So long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.

This doesn't hurt anyone.

Why can't I say it out loud?

♫ Do we talk about our colorful memories ♫

♫ At the end of the memories, you're standing outside the door ♫

♫ Defending all my expectations ♫

♫ Regrets stay behind after a storm ♫

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You're not mad anymore?

It's my fault

for getting angry over nothing.

Don't talk about that anymore.

Take your medicine. It's not hot anymore.

I put some sugar, but I didn't put a lot

because I'm afraid it'd ruin the property of the medicine.

Sanli.

Let's get a divorce. Okay?

No.

If you think the medicine is too bitter,

then don't drink it.

Don't drink it ever again.

We don't have to cure your illness.

But I won't agree to a divorce.

But you have it so rough.

You're still so young.

Yiding.

You're such an honest person.

Even if you want to force me to divorce you,

you should at least be more ruthless than that.

You're purposely picking fights with me.

Why don't you give me a beating?

Beat me until I'm dispirited.

Then I'll agree to divorce you.

And then you can feel sad all alone.

Do you think your life is a drama?

Is it not?

We're just ordinary people getting along with our lives.

We don't have the talent for acting.

It's Qiao Simei who lives her life as if she's living in a drama.

Not me, Qiao Sanli.

Besides, even Simei doesn't live her life like we do.

Yiding.

Let's just live a good life.

It's not like we haven't done it before.

We're not newlyweds.

It doesn't matter.

We should still get a divorce.

We'll still be a family after the divorce.

I can have you be my younger sister.

Go to hell.

I have two older brothers.

I don't need an older brother like you.

Sister, do you know why I like sunny days after rain?

Are you about to recite another poem?

No.

It's because Qi Chenggang and I met again in this weather.

Are you going out for work?

Bring this with you. It's red bean and barley water.

This is good for you because you drive for long periods of time.

Okay.

- I'll be leaving now. - Stay safe.

Bye.

What's wrong?

Is Qi Chenggang causing trouble out there?

No. I used to think

that romance and affection

belong to those who are good-looking.

Don't you think it's beautiful when a handsome man and a pretty girl fall deeply in love?

Now that I see what's going on with Second Brother,

I'm starting to think that love is really fair to everyone.

It doesn't matter whether you're good-looking or not.

As long as you love with all your heart,

it's a beautiful thing.

Where's Second Brother? Isn't he off today?

Why are you worrying about him?

He's the one in charge anyways. He'll get a meal from somewhere.

I think he's dead set on being with his master.

Don't worry about him. He can't cause any trouble at the moment.

Who he has feelings for is his own business.

Is Wang Yiding coming to dinner tonight?

He's taking care of Xuan Xuan at home.

Xuan Xuan's recently been pestering him to make him toys.

You're always worrying about me and Erqiang.

How are you doing yourself?

Nothing weird is happening with Wang Yiding, right?

What do you mean by that?

Don't overthink it. I'm just

worried about his temper, words, actions, and such.

Just live well yourself. Don't worry about me.

What? You're allowed to worry about me, but I can't worry about you?

We're about to move out.

It's get better.

I really didn't expect that this was going to be

how you'd escape from the old woman's demonic claws.

Enough. Stop talking about this.

Sister, have you thought about letting Wang Yiding set up his own organization to be his own boss?

The situation is different now.

Many people are starting businesses to stimulate the economy.

I'll ask him when I go back.

Who are you learning all of this from?

You're not writing poems anymore? You're learning about business instead?

Don't underestimate me.

I usually

read books, read the newspaper, and watch the news to understand the current events.

I knew it!

Okay. That's great.

I really didn't expect that

the most promising son of the family turned out to be you, Qiao Erqiang.

In the ancient times, they had Wang Baochuan.

Han Yao waited for Xue Pinggui for 18 years.

And today, we have you, Qiao Erqiang, who got back together with the old woman

you never completely cut ties with.

I admire you. Respect.

I really didn't notice before

that you had talents for singing opera.

- Dad. - You were just saying that you were going

to get your marriage certificate with that old woman, right?

Her name is Ma Suqin. She's my wife.

I don't care who she is!

I wouldn't even care if she was the Queen Mother of the West!

If you dare to get your marriage certificate with her,

I'll hang myself in the doorway of your home

in the middle of the night

as your wedding gift.

That's enough from you. Is it fun for you to scare people all the time?

Scare people?

I'll leave my words with you here.

If you dare to get your marriage certificate with Ma Suqin,

I'll have you collect my dead body.

Second Brother.

Where are you going?

Is he going to take things too hard?

Don't worry.

They're not Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yintai.

They'll be fine. Eat your dinner.

Have a spoonful. Here, have a spoonful.

This is the first time

the three of us are having a proper meal together.

You don't think the other times were proper meals?

You've had so many meals with us at home.

You're right.

Master.

Let's look at some houses together when I'm off next week.

We can have a look at some with two bedrooms and one living room then.

That way, Zhiyong can have a room to himself to study.

I want to live on campus when I go to high school.

- Just do what makes you guys comfortable. - Let me get you some more rice.

Erqiang.

It's fine. I can understand.

A man suddenly appeared in his life.

And Zhiyong's father

- was... - That's not what I intended to say.

The biggest problem for us right now is not Zhiyong.

Erqiang. Why don't we not get the certificate?

We can just live our lives together like this.

It's okay if you decide that you regret it one day.

No.

Erqiang, listen to me.

We're not young anymore.

This...

Why didn't you discuss with me before you bought such an expensive item?

What do we need to discuss? I was bound to buy you a wedding ring sooner or later.

I won't let you miss out on neither the certificate nor the ring.

Even if not a single person supports us,

I still want to be with you.

Well...

We won't have a banquet, okay?

Master, do you like it?

Let me tell you something. From now on,

you can't hide it from me if you buy something expensive.

Okay.

Look. Does it look good?

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

[Find a sweet home] ♫ I have the courage to step forward ♫

[The pressure of being a homeowner is temporary. The peace of mind when you have a home is permanent.]

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

Thank you.

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

That's right.

Let's go.

♫ 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 ♫

♫ You'll meet someone who you miss again ♫

What's this?

[Sanli]

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

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

Eat!

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

♫ I have the courage to step forward ♫

What are you doing?

What face are you making?

Are you acting like a ghost beside me?

You know nothing. It's called facial gymnastics.

It feels like I'm getting bloated from head to toe with each passing day.

My face is bloated too. I heard that some women look ten years older after giving birth.

When beauty's gone, so is affection. I have to be good enough for Chenggang.

When I have a beautiful baby,

- I can't become ugly. - You know what?

It's a blessing when you have a huge face.

You... your aesthetic appreciation

has been terrible since you were little. Look at Qi Chenggang.

He's got small eyes.

- You know nothing. - Like a transformer.

He looks like a star.

Dad.

Someone blessed is leaving.

Second brother, have you got all the furniture for your new home?

I have. The last tenant left quite a lot behind.

I wish you hadn't yet.

What are you talking about?

- Are you done? - Erqiang,

you're the kid that's the closest to me.

We've slept together for a long time.

Now that you're leaving, I do miss it a little bit.

Dad.

I bet what you miss is my brother's rent.

He squeezed himself into the same house as you and slept in a tiny space.

But his rent was more than mine.

You'd better get going. Second sister-in-law is still waiting for you to have dinner in your new home.

How talkative you are.

Don't be a matchmaker. Worry about yourself first.

Go, go, go. If you all leave, great.

How I wish I lived in this house all by myself.

It's either marrying into the woman's family or bringing up someone's son.

As a man,

your incapability is totally on another level.

Why are you still standing here? Get going now.

Hurry.

Ignore him.

Be careful.

Take your time.

I didn't want to talk about him.

How can you be quiet?

Master, are you here to pick me up?

Your dad didn't say anything, did he?

Nothing. The usual anyway.

That's all you have?

After all, I'm a man. I'm not particular.

Also, we have almost everything in our new home.

I'll help you carry it.

You don't need to. Don't hurt your waist.

Let's go.

If you look any longer, you'll turn into a giraffe.

By the way,

if someone gives me money every day,

I'll look like that too.

What's the point of having kids?

Once they get rich,

they'll forget they have a poor dad.

Dad, who's got rich? Who's got rich?

I'm talking about some people, including you.

Your boyfriend drives a taxi all day long.

With all the money he's made,

how could you not be rich?

He doesn't own the taxi.

When he makes money, he has to pay the taxi owner a certain percentage.

It's not easy money.

Simei.

Simei,

your boyfriend got quite a bit of military severance pay, right?

As I told you back then,

you must have control over it.

If you leave it in the bank, you'll earn a lot of interest.

Chenggang gave his military severance pay to his parents.

Don't worry. Your dad knows what to do very well.

I've never expected you all to show filial respect for me.

Dad.

Daughters... Daughters will eventually marry someone.

I would say

if I rent out this house,

I'll have more rental income every month.

Renting it out to my daughter and son-in-law with no home,

I have only a tiny bit of rental income.

Alright. I'll give you more money from now on, okay?

How much more?

200. Don't tell my eldest brother,

or he'll scold me again.

Why are you scared of him?

Is he your dad? Or am I your dad?

What a great question.

- You both– - Mom.

Hold on. I have something to ask you.

Mom, go ahead.

Are you both hiding something from me?

I noticed that both of you have been sneaky and busy lately.

Are you busy with renovation?

You're not home on Sundays either, and I look after the baby.

What on earth keeps you so busy?

Nothing really, mom. Well, not–

Mother-in-law, we wanted to tell you a while ago.

We bought a new home.

When?

Over a month ago, we looked at a home. It's settled. We just got it.

We're renovating it. That's what keeps us busy.

Yiding, how incredible you are.

You can afford a home already.

It's like buying napa cabbage.

You don't need to discuss with your family, do you?

Great. How great.

Old people don't have to worry about it. You decide your life-changing events.

Getting married, giving birth and buying a home. Everything's settled.

What else can I do except being happy for you?

Who am I? Who am I to you?

Who am I to say something?

Now you're homeowners.

You only care about your own home.

Our sewerage is making a loud noise.

How many days have I told you to look at it?

I brought up my son for someone else.

Mother-in-law, Yiding will fix the sewerage first today.

I'll buy materials.

This house is 20 to 30 years old.

Something's broken every day.

No wonder someone can't take it and wants to move out.

You pay a lot for your mortgage every month, aren't you?

I'd say no matter how luxurious the renovation is,

I wouldn't sleep well. The fancy home

isn't as good as this house.

Mother-in-law, Yiding and I aren't spendthrifts.

We can afford it every month. Our money isn't tight.

A mortgage is pretty much a debt.

Do you consider it okay?

My eldest brother said that a mortgage is a must.

Nowadays, more and more people get a mortgage. There will be even more in the future.

Your eldest brother said this. Your eldest brother said that.

Is what your eldest brother says an imperial decree?

Sanli. Sanli.

- Sanli. - What are you doing?

Why don't you spend time with your mom?

You were too reckless this time.

Why did you tell her everything?

Do you mean I should've beaten around the bush?

Would she not have been angry?

- You could've at least said it gently. - This isn't how you solve problems.

You're just procrastinating. Procrastination is even worse.

It's not procrastination.

It's been so long. You should be well aware of my mom's personality.

Why did you have a fight with her?

We could've told her gently and asked her for understanding.

Understanding? Wang Yiding, I don't understand now.

We make money ourselves. We've got a mortgage ourselves. We didn't ask her for help.

What mistakes did we make? And we should beg her for understanding?

- You can't say that. - What should I say then?

You should know what my mom has in mind.

She wants to live with us. She's afraid that we won't take care of her. Don't you know it?

I do. What she has in mind is very obvious. She implies it too.

How dumb do I have to be to not know it?

Then why did you talk to her like that?

Did I say we wouldn't take care of her?

Does moving out contradict taking care of her?

Obviously, you know what my mom meant.

Wang Yiding, let me ask you.

You're not moving out if your mom doesn't agree with it, right?

We bought our house for nothing!

Is your mom going to plan everything for our lives in the future?

Fine. Go back to your mom.

You're just the background in the photo.

I'll forgive you if we're in the office.

What? We're not in the office, you want to fight it out with me here?

Nanfang, rest assured. I'll send you the sample copy as soon as it's released.

Thank you, Qiao Yicheng.

What's happening between you two? Are you getting in touch in secret?

In secret?

Sending the sample script is part of the process, isn't it?

- Am I right? - Yeah.

OK, OK.

You're here for the interview as well?

No, I just got off work.

I'm waiting for someone.

Who is it?

- Yicheng! - Weimin!

- You two came together? - Yeah.

- They're all friends of us in the end! - Hey, mind your words.

We're friends. They are husband and wife.

Yeah, yeah. Husband and wife.

Oh, you're Weimin's wife!

Hello, I'm Weimin's colleague. My name is Xiang Nanfang.

Nice to meet you. You can call me Xingyu.

What a coincidence! We've all been too busy to get together.

- What about having dinner and drinks together tonight? I‘ll pay. - Sure.

Well, I'm afraid we can't make it tonight, boss.

Xingyu and I are going to the movies tonight.

Qi Weimin, you only treat me as the department head every time you want to get away from me.

OK. You'll treat us to dinner some other day to make up for it.

Sure, sure.

How about we all go to the movies tonight?

- Sure. - Are you out of your mind?

You guys are having a sweet moment together, we don't want to be the third wheel.

Then... we'll be leaving now. Goodbye!

Go. Bye bye!

How about the three of us go to have some drinks?

- Why not? - Well, I've got all these devices. It's not a good time.

- Let's do it another day. - It's okay, we can put them back first.

Yeah. It's a deal!

Take some nice photos of me. I'll go grab my bag. I'll be back!

What's up? Don't know how confess tell your feelings to her?

No, that's not true at all.

I've known her since I was a kid.

I do think of her as my sister.

And we know each other too well. I can't do it.

Laugh as much as you want now. You'll be crying soon.

What does that mean?

I'll make an advice to you. While we're on the way, take the time

to have a nap, sleep for a little while.

Have a nap? Sleep for a while?

Just do as I said.

Mom, how are you feeling?

If you're not feeling well, we should go to the hospital.

There's no need. It'll save a lot of trouble if I die.

I won't be a burden on you and Sanli anymore.

Mom, don't say that.

Sanli and I have never thought of you like that.

You've never thought like that?

Then why didn't you tell me when you bought the house?

And you bought one that's so far away!

Isn't that for the purpose of getting away from me?

You think I'm being needy?

My husband died.

Yining married into his wife's family.

Who else can I count on?

Don't wipe my tears. I don't need it.

Mom. Yining moved to Xiaomin's place, and that's all.

And Sanli and I are just moving out, there's nothing more to it.

We'll still take care of you.

You've all moved out.

I've gone through hardship and toils all my life,

but never enjoyed one day of happy life.

Now I'm getting close

to spending my old age alone until I die,

and nobody would care even if my dead body is rotten!

That's not true, mom!

A family is always a family even if we're living apart.

You're my mom. No matter how old you get, as long as you're alive,

I'll take care of you.

And I'll see you off

on the last day of your life.

This woman

is stubborn as a mule.

♫ Traveling the world, the road is far and the river is long ♫

♫ Vast and hazy, one village after another ♫

Hey, your button.

Well, last time I thought that you were good at drinking.

But I never expected that you are even better than Song Qingyuan!

Well, I never expected that you are worse than him at drinking!

Thank you, goddess, for saving my life!

I'm almost drunk today. I can't drink anymore.

But you know better than Song Qingyuan.

He never wants to give in. He wants to be the No.1 in everything.

He made a lot of trouble for my brother since they were kids.

Made trouble for your brother?

They hung out together, and they made a lot of troubles.

My dad was stringent. He would punish my brother.

What about you?

Me?

I had a different daily schedule from my brother.

- Daily schedule? - Yeah.

We eat and go to sleep at the same time.

But when to study and when to play, and what to study and play,

everything was well-scheduled.

It's not okay even if you don't want to play.

Honestly, it's hard for me to imagine that.

When I was a kid, my dad never paid attention to me.

I scheduled my own life,

and then looked after my younger brothers and sisters.

Really?

I envy you so much.

- There's nothing to be envious about. - Hey, hey!

- What are you doing, Song Qingyuan? - Song, stop acting like that!

Hey dude!

- Song! - The camera is worth 20,000 yuan.

What are you doing!

Twenty thousand! Haha...

He's completely gone nuts!

Care to know which was my favorite game when I was a kid?

- What game? - Song!

Song! Come back!

Come back!

Let's have a competition. We'll see who runs faster!

That was my favorite game.

You... you've been doing that to him since you were kids?

Song Qingyuan can be fun sometimes!

Qiao Yicheng, tomorrow's the weekend, and you're still going out for an interview?

Yes, indeed. We have to do it on the weekend... Ouch!

Hey, why are you... Hey, Song!
