[Episode 26]

Did you come here to see fireflies?

Exactly.

Why do you want to see fireflies?

Do I need to make a plan

and write a report before I can see fireflies?

Who says you only want to do something at a certain time?

I do it because I want to. Do I need a reason?

Actually if I didn't know you well,

I wouldn't have known you're a daughter of high-ranking cadres.

You even received military education when you were little.

Do you think you know me well now?

Thank you. I'm glad to accept it.

No problem.

Actually, I think it's better

to have plans sometimes.

What do you mean?

We came here today.

In this season, we won't be able to see fireflies even if we wait till dawn.

Let's go home then. You have interviews tomorrow.

Let's head home. Come on.

What time is it? It's past 12 o'clock, which means it's today.

I'm sorry.

Don't need to apologize to me.

I actually want to see fireflies now.

There are no fireflies in winter.

What are you doing?

Wait a moment.

♫ People and things from the past ♫

♫ Which deserves to be my preference? ♫

What are you doing?

Wait a moment.

♫ Old times that have turned yellow ♫

♫ A discolored time sign ♫

♫ Hundreds and thousands ♫

♫ Who's thinking about me again? ♫

Look at this. Look from here.

What?

You... adjust the focal length.

Yes, the focal length.

This...

♫ Do we talk about our colorful memories ♫

How smart you are.

It's quite simple. Song Qingyuan taught me.

So pretty.

I think these are called heart-shaped flies.

♫ Hovering in and out of dreams ♫

Yicheng.

Where's he?

Who's that?

- Don't cover me with it. I'm dirty. - Just cover yourself.

- Don't cover me. - Cover yourself!

Wash it when you go back.

Don't freeze.

I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

Discussing whose fault it is doesn't solve problems.

My mom...

My mom cried today.

I never saw her get this upset.

She's scared.

What's she scared of?

She's scared that she'll get old alone.

But Yiding, if she keeps using this reason to control you,

what should we do with our life?

You got up. So early.

You got up early.

What's going on? Are you going to socialize today?

No.

Why do you style your hair then?

You always think I'm untidy.

Shouldn't I try to change myself?

I'm leaving now.

Why are you leaving so early?

I need to work hard and make money to support my wife and kid.

Is that right, baby?

- I'm leaving. - Take care.

Don't worry.

Buddy, you're finally here. Give it to me.

I'll tell you what, if you get this drunk again, I won't help you.

Okay. Let me see. Let me see.

Fortunately, you gave me a call just in time. I almost called the police.

It's fine. It's all good.

Intact.

Don't just talk about me.

Isn't it tiring to work with a woman?

Where did you go to catch ghosts with Nanfang last night?

Stop it. Hurry up and pack. We need to go out and work.

Working with a woman?

You know what? Working with you is even more tiring.

Really?

This house is a lot more peaceful now.

Living in such a big house, I can pick whichever room to sleep in.

Even if I want to open a mahjong school here, nobody can stop me.

Mother-in-law, I've thought it through.

I'll come here to cook for you every day.

Whatever you want to eat, let me know the day before.

Call us if you need anything. Does it sound good to you?

Everyone can say sweet words.

I wasn't serious when I mentioned eating out.

I can't even eat out every other day. I don't deserve it.

I don't have a long life.

But I'm not dumb.

I don't want to be called a mean mother-in-law

as if we're in some TV drama.

You both have a long life to live.

I genuinely hope that you'll have a good life

and live in your new home.

What else do you want? Do you have to live in our new home?

Mom,

take care of yourself after we move out.

If you want to eat or wear something, go for it.

We'll pay for your expenses and utility bills as usual.

Does it sound good?

Fine.

Zhiyong! Zhiyong!

Come over here!

Get in the trailer and we'll go home.

It's fine. It's okay. It's very steady.

Do you guys want some wontons when we get home?

Why don't you try to get us home first?

Sure!

Shifu, don't you think I'm going faster now?

I'm traveling like a wind!

- Is that true? - Yeah!

I think there's a problem with the trailer.

I think it's barely moving again.

Be careful.

No, thanks.

Just one bite.

- I don't want it. - Just one bite.

Hey sir, can I use the phone?

Young man, I've been waiting for a call. Can you please use another phone?

Young lady.

That's not good. I've lost three customers just in a short while.

I've been waiting for a very important call. I forgot to bring my beeper.

I'm waiting for a call from my husband.

It's not easy for a pregnant woman like me to come for the pregnancy check alone.

Well... I'll pay you four people's fee, how about that?

Just finish it quickly.

- Thank you. - I've got a business to run.

Hello, Chenggang.

I forgot to bring my beeper.

You said you would come pick me up at 11.

I can't make it. Someone used my taxi to go to Shijiu Lake.

I'll get paid a lot. I'm leaving in 10 minutes.

I've got to go. Grab a taxi and go home by yourself. Bye.

Where's Xuanxuan?

Yiding's taken him to the park nearby.

- He hasn't been busy recently? - No.

He gets off work on time, and he goes to work a little bit later.

He says that his manager granted him more time because he just recovered from the serious condition.

If I were him, I'd rather not accept it.

Makes people uncomfortable. You'll have to think of it every day.

Sister, have you decided on the car repair shop?

If you're still hesitating, you'll be missing the best time to do it.

We've been busy with buying the house, moving and decorating the house, we barely had any time.

It's on my mind. Don't worry.

The most important thing for you is to take good care of yourself.

Don't always run around.

I like to keep myself busy.

Brother Erqiang moved out, and it's just me and dad at home every day.

I can barely watch a TV show when dad's at home.

Why don't you have dinner with me and stay a bit longer?

No, thanks.

I've brought the wine for you.

You and my brother-in-law should have some romantic moments.

Don't just dwell yourself on the trivia of daily life.

If life is boring, it's easy for people to not get along,

and lose harmony.

Be good, Xuanxuan.

Are you really planning on cooking for my mom every day in the future?

Three meals a day?

Yes. I'll visit her once every day. During lunch break.

I can bring dinner for her as well.

What a good plan.

I'm trying to take care of her as much as I can.

Why don't you ask her to come live with us?

Aren't you trying to make her uneasy? It will be uneasy on yourself as well.

I've quit my job. I resigned.

That's good.

When did you resign? Why didn't you tell me about it?

You're not angry?

Why would I be angry?

I'll support you if you want to resign. If you're not happy doing this job, then just quit.

Why don't you ask me why I quitted?

Because you wanted to. I trust you.

It's a new beginning.

And you're so skilled, you'll find a new job.

This is what Simei brought for us.

Let's celebrate with it.

Why should we celebrate? I'm on Chinese Medicine, I can't drink.

Celebrate that we've moved into the new house, and that you have a new beginning.

All medicines have side effect. Whatever it is, let's stop drinking it.

In the future, we'll just have good food and drink

and keep ourselves in a good mood. That's how we become healthy.

You're not a drinker. Slow down.

I'm happy.

Then what's your plan after quitting your job?

I don't have one.

I heard it from Simei

and I think it's a good choice.

Well... have you ever thought about

running your own shop and be the boss?

I don't think that would work.

You haven't even tried.

When you left the state-owned factory, our life was much harder than it is now.

Enough! Are you done with it?

You're asking me to go out and make money again right after I quit my job.

You can be the boss if you want to!

There's a lot of money that we haven't spent yet. It's all yours. Happy?

I'd like to be alone for a while.

You two can stay here. I'll go stay with my mom for a few days.

Why are you up so late?

Did Li drive the car away?

Li... he's sick these days.

Then why are you back so late?

I've told you I'm driving a customer to Shi Jiuhu.

But you should at least make a call!

Now. Don't get mad.

I'll do it next time. I'll send you to the hospital and pick you up next time.

Okay?

What's this?

A woman's hair, of course.

Qi Chenggang!

Simei, what do I do?

I'm a driver. A taxi driver.

I work with men and women,

at least ten or twenty of them every day!

Darling, please trust me.

Let's say no more. You must be tired from walking.

I'll go take a bath and then massage your legs for you.

Why did you come home this late?

I'm staying for a few days. That's fine.

Did you have a fight with Sanli?

No, mom.

Don't overthink. Go back to sleep.

I found Sanli unpleasant a long time ago.

Even if you treat her very well, she always takes it out on you

as if you can only rely on her.

I don't.

As a woman, she should solve problems when you are clueless.

How could she urge her man to do this and that?

Sanli is like that.

She urges you to think and act differently than your family.

You're so soft-hearted that you always listen to her.

You should listen to me more instead.

I won't lie to you.

Mom, nothing really.

Go to bed now.

You too.

Don't cry, Xuanxuan.

Go to sleep, okay?

Okay?

Hello? Hi.

Hello. This is a call center.

Is it the call center for taxis?

Yes, that's right.

How can I help you?

Hongfa Restaurant.

Do you know Qi Chenggang?

Who are you?

I'm Chenggang's wife.

Chenggang's wife, are you both coming to eat?

No, thanks.

Erqiang. Erqiang.

- What's with you, Master? - Do you have any more wontons?

No.

No? Did you make so little?

Are you still hungry?

Yes. The wontons are so good.

I'll make some next time then.

I'll make more. I'll make a lot. Three meals for the three of us.

Where do you want this piece of lace sewn for your baby?

It doesn't need to be this long.

It's not for my baby, but Chenggang.

Are you okay?

Recently I've made him a lumbar support belt.

He said his waist always hurt when he drove.

You take care of him like he's your son.

no, like he's your daughter.

Don't laugh at me.

I want him to think of me once he sees this piece of lace.

When people see the lace,

they'll think he has a skillful wife.

Sister,

I'm undeserving of Chenggang.

I just want to care more about him.

What do you mean?

I doubted if he cheated on me two days ago.

I got sensitive.

Do you think I'm crazy?

It's not strange for you to do silly things. It's not strange at all for you to doubt if he cheated on you.

If I were you, I would've doubted him a long time ago.

Then do you doubt your husband?

He won't.

It's over then.

Love is 100% trusting each other.

If he was like Qi Chenggang, I wouldn't have got married.

You have faith in your husband, and I have faith in Chenggang. It's the same.

You doubted him, didn't you?

Now I don't, and I won't in the future.

I think people believe what they want to believe.

Trust comes from love.

Let me do it. You're too clumsy.

What's wrong? Are you okay?

I'm fine. I've been like this lately.

Don't worry about me. I just need to lean on something for a bit.

I'll tell what you, having a baby is serious.

You have to pay attention. Back then our mom...

Well, I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup early in the morning.

- I'm fine. - Just listen.

[Create efficient classes outside the classroom. Enhance overall learning effectiveness.

How awful this place is. It should be replaced.

Why did you bring

such a big piece of equipment here?

Do you want everyone to know you're a journalist?

- Who would talk to us like this? - That's my tool.

Let me look for two parents to interview.

No, no, no. Don't.

It's not easy to be a parent.

Old Qiao, it's not easy for them, so is it easy for us?

You know what? When I was little, I never had any tutorials.

I'm still successful and even outstanding.

How today's parents wish their kids to be super smart when they're born.

Honestly, those who teach these tutorials are sly. Students should learn these things at school.

But they still have to teach tutorials. What's the point of having school teachers? Are they paid for doing nothing?

Look at what you said.

Anyone could tell you said it because you're not a parent.

If other kids have tutorials but your kids don't, then your kids will fall behind.

They know this mentality of parents' very well.

Okay. You're good at thinking about it from another angle.

What's with you? Are you having kids?

I started taking care of kids a long time ago.

Hello. We're TV journalists.

We'd like to talk with you about having tutorials on the weekends.

We don't have tutorials on the weekends.

We... put together classmates who have difficulty learning

on the weekends

to improve... their studies. Don't film anymore.

But what your leaflet says is different than what you said. Look.

It says, "Train your kids to be top students.

Improve their grades easily. Extend outside the classroom. Learn English in a new way."

It also says, "Absorb middle school knowledge in advance." And so on.

This... Don't film. Don't film.

The Ministry of Education has made many announcements and implemented a policy to ban tutorials outside the classroom.

May I ask what you think about this?

That's right. The Ministry of Education does have the rule.

We're not allowed to rent school buildings

for the tutorials.

This place isn't a school building. Not a school building.

- Don't film. Don't film. - The Ministry of Education has also set a rule

to ban school teachers from getting paid for tutorials.

Could you tell us about the teachers here?

The teachers here aren't school teachers.

Instead, they're normal school students. Yes, normal school students.

We actually

provide them... with an opportunity to get experience. That's it.

But when I walked past the classrooms just now,

I noticed that some teachers here are quite old. Some of them have grey hair.

I really hate journalists like you. How can you not let them have tutorials?

If they didn't have tutorials, where could my son go then?

Hire a private tutor? Are you paying for it?

- Don't film. Don't film. - Ma'am,

- cool down. Cool down and talk. Don't move. - What are you doing?

- Someone hit me! - Who hit you?

- You know what? Don't touch this piece of equipment. It costs over 600,000 yuan. Can you afford it? - Stop it.

I can't hit the equipment, but I can hit people.

- You– - Old Qiao!

Are you okay?

Old Qiao.

Ma'am, you just caused trouble.

You're very strong.

Teacher Lin, hurry up and call the doctor.

[Drum Tower Hospital] - I'll tell you what, you'd better keep your mouth shut.

I don't want everyone at the TV station to know it in two days.

Qiao, how naive you are.

Even if I keep my mouth shut, it's useless.

This thing was settled at the police station.

Everyone at the TV station already knows what happened to you.

- It has nothing to do with you. Go now. - Well,

when I go back, I'll explain to everyone.

I'll say, "It's fine. It's really fine. Just a little strike."

Get out of here.

The police station sent someone here, saying this is a civil injury.

You should make that woman pay for it.

What do you think?

Forget it. She's just a civilian. Her life's hard too. Forget about compensation.

I told them so too. You don't want their compensation.

I just want an explanation. Why did she kick you in the crotch?

- Song Qingyuan, if you don't shut your stinky mouth, we won't be partners after I get out of the hospital. - No.

Both of us are the best partners at the TV station.

Besides, maybe you'll be my half brother-in-law.

Did you drink just now? You're talking nonsense.

What nonsense? You even caught the ghosts. Don't tell me there's nothing between you and Nanfang.

We're just friends at work.

Don't you have any feelings for her?

It takes two to tango.

There's a huge gap between our families.

Don't talk about me. Nanfang doesn't have feelings for me either.

It looks like you know me so well. No feelings whatsoever.

Alright. You came early.

You have such a big mouth.

- What? Can't I come here to see you... you both? - Of course you can.

I'm fine.

You came just in time. Here. Sit here.

Have a good chat with Old Qiao. I'll go pick up the medicine.

Then I'll make an invoice.

Sure. Go ahead.

- Don't stand. Take a seat. - Okay.

- How are you? Are you doing okay? - I'm pretty good. Everything's fine.

- Eat a banana. This banana is quite sweet. - Sure.

- Thank you. - No problem.

I have some snacks here too, which are yummy. Don't let them sit.

That's fine. That's fine.

- How about pouring you a cup of tea? - No, sit down. I'll do it.

I'll do it myself. Sit down. Don't move. Don't move.

This is moderate.

Being bloated is mild. There are other problems as well.

Okay. I'll take your advice.

I'll take time off in a bit. You go back and look after Xuanxuan.

Don't listen to me, but your doctor.

I have someone look after Xuanxuan during the day.

Who?

Our dad.

Would he look after the kid?

I gave him some money.

It's true

that a father cares about sons and grandchildren the most.

Take your time.

Brother Qingyuan.

Yicheng's sisters.

What you called us is kind of awkward.

Sorry, I'm bad with names.

Your names have numbers, which are confusing to me.

Are you feeling unwell?

No, I came here with Yicheng. He has some work-related injury.

Did my eldest brother have a situation in an interview?

Which ward is he in? We'll visit him.

Maybe... it's not very... convenient.

What?

Oh,

these are kumquats. Somebody gave me.

I noticed just now that your voice sounded a bit hoarse. Take these with you when you leave in a bit.

When you get home, wash them, add rock candy and cook them with the skin on.

Then let it cool down and pour it into a glass jar.

Add some honey before you seal the jar.

You ladle two of them every day, add water and drink it.

It clears your throat and keeps your lungs healthy effectively.

Okay.

Teacher Qiao, I'm visiting you.

You're the patient.

I'm fine. Take them with you.

- Thank you then. - Can you rest assured now?

Brother Qingyuan, are you going back to the TV station in a bit?

Where are you going? I can take you there.

Take me to Huamei Restaurant.

Don't worry about my sister. She can go by herself.

Let's go.

We agreed that I'd go to the company with you.

Alright. Just take care of your family.

Didn't you tell me

that siblings have their own life and problems after growing up and they need to learn to solve them?

Alright. I'll go to the old house of the Wang family then.

Are you sure you can go there by yourself?

I'm really fine. If anything happens, I'll let eldest brother know.

You can't contact eldest brother once you need help.

Are you jealous?

Asking you for compensation, I'm not going after anything.

I'm doing it for your sake.

Your younger brother is doing business now. Invest in it.

You can't let other people take advantage of it.

By doing so, you can get

your payroll card back as well.

Mom, actually I've quit my job.

Was it Qiao Sanli's idea again?

You really can't be deceived by her anymore,

- especially when you're like this. - No.

What did I lie to Yiding about?

Sanli.

I did nothing wrong to you.

I know.

It was my fault. I'm sorry.

What are you sorry for?

You came just in time. We can open up and explain everything.

Yiding's honest. You can fool him, but you can't fool me.

Yiding had a good job at a foreign company.

What about you? You urged him to quit.

What are you plotting?

Mom, Sanli didn't urge me to quit.

She didn't know it until a few days ago.

Stand aside. Don't defend her.

Your brain can't function anymore, can it?

You know what? Once you moved out,

you made Yiding so mad that he came back.

You still have the compensation, don't you?

Do you think I have no idea what you have in mind?

How can you say that?

It's your brain that can't function.

You're confused.

Dad, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to look after Xuanxuan at home?

I, Qiao Zuwang, am afraid of nobody.

I can't believe this baby.

He's noisy every day.

Sanli, no matter how much you give me, I'm not taking care of your baby anymore.

What a torture.

What?

How important you are.

I didn't get paid for looking after the baby every day.

I've brought him here. Come take a look.

Mom, didn't you say you wanted to explain everything?

I happen to have something to say, which even Sanli doesn't know.

What is it?

I can't give you the compensation.

I won't let Sanli keep it anymore.

I'm going to use the money

to open my own repair shop. I'll have my own business, starting from scratch.

Yiding,

why can't I understand what you just said?
