[Episode 34]

Cousin, don't be mad at my Big Brother.

I'm not going to get mad. He's been sarcastic with me for so many years. I got used to it a while ago.

Simei, stay for dinner. I just bought this shrimp fresh.

No thanks. I still need to pick up the children in a bit.

Simei.

- Sister-in-law, I'm leaving now. - Wait.

Your cousin bought some silk quilts yesterday. Take one with you.

No thanks. Keep such good items for yourselves to use.

We still have one. Your cousin got this one especially for you.

I'll see you out.

Fine. Then take this.

Simei, I'm stand on the side of your Big Brother for Uncle's situation.

He's right in telling you to keep an open mind.

Your cousin

has stepped into society for so many years. His mind is very clear about the things that go on at his job,

but once the situation has to do with his family,

he becomes an idealistic fool.

Keep that in mind.

I'll say this here.

We're all a family. In the future,

don't treat Wenbin as a regular employee. You shouldn't neglect him.

Do you hear me?

I heard you. I won't.

Uncle Qiao, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law take good care of me.

Second Brother even taught me some knife skills.

Erqiang, come.

A toast to Erqiang and Second Sister-in-law.

Give Wenbin some more pointers in the future.

Come, Second Sister-in-law.

What are you doing?

Good, good.

Thank you for looking after him.

Xiao Ma,

I'm sorry for how I treated you in the past.

From now on, you can come in and out of this house as you please.

That's right. Come more often.

Thank you, Father-in-law.

- I'll drink to you. - Great, great.

Delightful. Drink one with her.

Delightful, delightful.

Simei's home.

Simei.

You're back.

Second Uncle. Second Aunt.

- Qiaoqiao. - Qiaoqiao.

- You're so pretty. - Eat with us.

We're going inside, we're not eating.

- Qiaoqiao. - Simei.

You...

Erqiang, don't worry about her.

A tailor's ruler can only measure others. She‘s not conscious of her own faults.

Eat.

Master, I didn't think your alcohol tolerance was that great.

The old man even passed out before you.

Qiao Erqiang.

Simei, you scared me.

I scared you? You just about scared me.

Why were you having a happy meal with the enemy? Are you trying to be a traitor?

What are you saying?

Are you dumb? Couldn't you tell?

It's obvious they want you to teach her son some skills.

Simei, don't worry. I got it under control.

That's true. Second Sister-in-law is way smarter than you are.

You have more failures than successes.

She can make a fuss about anything.

Let's go.

She almost scared the spirit out of me after those drinks.

They know that parts of certain troops

need to go through everlasting permafrost zones.

Permafrost is extremely solid in the winter.

♫ Give the years some space ♫

♫ Maybe people with time on their hands will guess ♫

♫ Old people, old memories ♫

♫ Which deserves to be favored more? ♫

♫ The fading to yellow of yesterday's time ♫

♫ The faded stop signs of time ♫

♫ Thousands and tens of thousands of things ♫

♫ Who's cherished thoughts did they flutter into? ♫

Thank you to the comrade instructor and the comrade driver! ♫ I have a few deep, emotional lines of monologue ♫

Thank you hostess of the hostel, the uncle of the small shop, ♫ I purposely avoid the crowd ♫

and the Tibetan driver! Thank you to the oxygen bottle, ♫ Only when it's late at night ♫

the bus, the truck, and the train. ♫ We can talk about our colorful memories ♫

Sister Simei, would you like some fruit? ♫ You're by the door at the edge of these memories ♫

♫ Protecting all my expectations ♫

♫ Regrets stay behind after all the trials and hardships ♫

♫ Only the residual light and shadows are left lingering ♫

[First day of class]

Have you gotten the transfer order?

Weimin said to ask you two to a gathering this weekend.

True. This is worth us gathering and celebrating.

The director of the provincial radio news center.

Junior, congratulations.

Thank you, senior.

I'll get going.

I'll get going. Bye.

Can you handle transferring from the TV station to the radio station?

Did you forget I transferred to the TV station from the newspaper office?

What do you mean if I can handle it?

It could even be possible that in the future,

that the growth of the TV station—

- What happened? - Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Let Song give you a ride back.

There's no need. It's fine.

It's either I give you a ride back or I call the ambulance for you. Pick one.

You're such a bother. I'm really fine.

Call them.

Let's just drive there. I'll wait for you in the lobby.

I'll go drive the car over here.

Sit down.

Alright. You should be heading back soon.

You're still worried when Song is taking me home?

I'm really fine.

Go home.

[Gulou Hospital]

I'll have someone notify you when the reexamination results come out.

Have this medicine during this period of time

to avoid having the situation from before happening again.

Okay. Thanks for all the trouble Director Jiang.

It's no trouble. It's my duty.

- Alright, then I'll get going now. - Alright.

I'm sorry.

Xiaozhi, why are you in the hospital?

Xiaozhi, I told you to not run around.

Big Brother.

[Urology Department]

She's really quiet.

She is. Xiaozhi is very similar to me.

I was afraid she would be similar to me.

But I didn't expect for trouble to actually come.

How long has it been?

She's been getting treatment for almost half a year.

Thankfully the class teacher called the attention to me,

saying it could be autism, and to take the child to the hospital.

Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have known still to this day.

If you want to consult an expert,

I can ask Nanfang. She has many friends who work at the hospital.

No need, no need.

You're right. Weiming is such an important person.

He probably asked around for you a while ago.

Don't tell him about this.

He doesn't know?

Why didn't you tell him?

Then does the family know about your health condition

and your reexamination?

A lot's been going on at home recently.

What's more important than your health?

I have my own plans when the exam results come out.

Alright.

In the future, if you have anything you need help with,

and you're uncomfortable telling Second Brother and them, you can tell me about it.

Worry about yourself first.

Who is this for?

Is this for me?

This is a flower that can be plucked.

It can still grow even after it's been plucked.

Thank you.

But you can't water it.

Okay.

Who are you?

Simei, you came back from your business trip.

She's Meiqin.

Wenbin. My son's wife.

Meiqin, call her sister.

Sister.

They're staying here for a few days.

Try to be considerate for the couple.

They're staying here?

Who allowed it? Did you ask me?

Your dad allowed it.

Weren't you busy with Qiaoqiao going to school a while ago?

So I didn't dare to distract you.

What if this kid can't do well in school

and you blame me and your dad for it?

Just say whatever you have to say.

We're talking about this matter. Why did you bring up my kid?

I'm busy, but I also live here.

If I'm gone for a few days again, is this house going to be full of your children and grandchildren?

Simei, what you're saying doesn't sound pleasant.

You even want to hear pleasant words? I don't have pleasant words for you.

If you want to hear pleasant words, go to someone else's home.

Who let you move that comforter?

They both don't have any comforter to use, do they?

Your dad found an unused one in the house.

We know you like to be clean, so we let it dry in the sun every day.

Do I need you to dry it in the sun? Do you know what comforter it is?

This is a silk comforter that my cousin gave me. I haven't even used it yet.

You take things out of someone's room without even asking.

Look. I didn't know how precious her comforter is.

I'll pay you back, okay?

Put it down.

Meiqin, hurry. Fix it for your sister.

Roll it up for your sister.

- Roll it up. We won't use it. - No need. I can handle it.

Meiqin, come down.

Let me fix it for you.

No.

Tell Meiqin to buy two new comforters.

A thin one and a thick one.

We don't have to use her things.

This...

Did he get her son and daughter-in-law to our old house?

Exactly. They're living their life there.

Our home is like Erlong Mountain, where people have settled down.

Doesn't their family have a farm?

It should be time for fall harvest. Now that they've moved there, are they giving up on the land?

I guess they've planned their return trip at the end of the year.

Look, her daughter-in-law alone

couldn't take care of so many things.

The moment this old woman moved into our home, she was secretly

planning everything already.

But where do her son and daughter-in-law live?

Do the three of them squeeze into the living room?

Or is her son going to stay with our dad?

You think too much.

The old woman has moved into our dad's room.

They go in and out of the house like it's natural.

She thinks she's our dad's partner.

He hasn't mentioned getting married for a long time.

I thought he would forget about it.

How could he forget about it?

I'll tell you what, our dad gives me a dirty look every day.

I'm not moving anyway.

I'm going to live in the old house forever.

I, Qiao Simei, was born and raised in this old house.

It's been tens of years. How could I just move out?

If I move out, I'll be like an orange tree

being transplanted, which means death.

Anyway I've made up my mind.

If he dares to marry that woman,

I'll dare to play Jia Baoyu crying in front of a memorial tablet

on their big day.

This is getting increasingly serious.

Don't tell eldest brother yet.

He's been busy and not rested lately.

Two days ago I got him some food

and found that he didn't look good.

He even looked bloated and didn't have much of an appetite.

You just haven't seen our dad.

Now he's gained weight.

You may not be able to recognize him next time you go back.

He's living a life like a master.

I'd say his good life probably won't last long.

When I see Qu Aying, it's like seeing a superbug as she's everywhere.

Maybe she'll hollow our home out one day.

I don't think she'll go that far. She needs to rely on our dad. I just don't know

how much advantage she wants to take of him.

Her son is working at second brother's.

If they come to you, don't accommodate them.

Sister, you'd better watch out.

Don't worry. I'm not as easy to talk to as second brother.

Alright. Both of you are about the same.

Second brother, I've been here for over three months.

I myself am going to open a restaurant in the city as well.

Can I learn from you if you don't mind?

If you want to officially learn to cook,

it's better for you to enroll in a culinary school.

Okay.

We're pretty much done. Why don't you head home and rest?

That's fine. Let me help you.

Go home and spend some time with your wife. She's just got here, where everything's new to her.

Thank you, second brother and second sister-in-law.

No. Can you be more careful when you live in someone's home?

You may not be cultured, but are you not even ashamed?

Would you die in heat if you put more clothes on?

Hurry up.

Put more clothes on.

Don't make cultured people dislike you.

Mom, I seemed to have a dream yesterday.

I dreamed of Sun Wukong beating Black Fish Demon to death.

Whether it was Black Fish Demon or White Fish Demon,

just hurry up and put clothes on so you won't be late again.

Put it on yourself.

Sister, breakfast is almost ready.

Why don't you take it outside and let your little girl eat?

No, we'll eat separately from now on. I don't need your help.

Sister, I don't go to work. I mean it.

You... can let me do it.

If you don't like rural flavors,

tell me what you like to eat. I can cook everything.

Are you done? If so, give me some room.

Sister, these are the vegetables I brought from back home.

They were picked from our own land. No chemical fertilizers.

When you cook noodles, put some of them in and let your little girl try.

And... This is a dried chicken I made by myself.

Also dried bamboo shoots and long yellow daylilies.

Sister, I hope you won't dislike them.

Why don't you leave since you're done? What's the point of standing here?

Sister, your clothes are pretty.

What was your name again?

I'm Meiqin. Yu Meiqin.

Can you mail the report to me?

Do you have to tell me face-to-face?

Okay. Give me a time.

Okay. I'll see you then.

Honestly, you may as well take some paid time off.

Go to Sister Nanfang's, where the water quality is excellent.

After all, it's a little town, which is peaceful.

Recently, it's been very hectic.

Also, our dad

can't wait to cause trouble every day.

I'll think about it when I'm done.

Let me be brutally honest. Don't get me wrong.

Just my feeling.

Go ahead.

Ever since we met, your family's never stopped causing trouble.

One thing leads to another.

Either this person needs help or that person is in trouble.

Maybe every time I want to live my life,

I'm destined to be stopped.

That's right. But since you've sacrificed for your family,

you'll get the rewards you deserve one day.

I've never thought of getting rewards. I mean it.

I used to want to live my own life,

where I didn't have to worry about someone's fate.

Now I just want to live my life with Nanfang peacefully.

Old Qiao,

have you thought of having kids?

Over the years,

I feel like I've always had kids.

Now you're diagnosed with chronic nephritis.

You can choose conservative management, but it's not recommended. The best is hospitalization,

otherwise it may turn into uremia.

So Mr Qiao, you have to make a decision.

Hello?

The old man wants to celebrate birthday for that woman. He ordered a banquet.

He said he was inviting all his friends.

I think he is using this birthday banquet

As a wedding banquet.

It makes me so mad.

Did he ever celebrated birthday for our mom? Not once!

How about our birthdays? Did he ever give us red packets?

He doesn't even remember it.

Just let him do whatever he wants.

Yicheng!

Enough. Just go home.

It's about to rain. You should go home before it starts.

Big Brother. If we leave him be, what if-

There is no what-ifs.

Don't brood about things that hasn't happened.

Moreover, for things that can be addressed over the phone,

Don't call a meeting in person.

Big Brother, have a safe trip home.

It's raining so heavily. I don't think there will be many customers. Let's close now.

Second Brother, I will toast you. Thanks for taking care of me.

No worries.

Second Brother, you are a good man!

It's not a big deal.

Wenbin and Erqiang

Are probably in the restaurant together.

Xiao Qu,

What else do you want for your birthday, other than eating out?

I'll take some money out of the bank account tomorrow and give you a big red packet.

Do you like that?

Brother Qiao,

At our age,

We don't need anything frivolous.

To be honest,

The thing that I want the most

Is to have a home in the city.

Gosh, that's a big thunder.

What did you say?

I haven't seen it rain this heavy in a long time.

What's wrong?

I think I did something wrong.

What is it? Let's hear it.

I had a lot to drink this evening.

I told Wenbin that he can become a partner.

How can you promise him this so lightly.

Big Brother doesn't want us to be to close to him and his mother.

How can you go against your own siblings just for him?

What do I do now?

Look at you, getting anxious over something like this.

Even if you are not good at other things, you can play dumb right?

Play dumb? I can do that.

Problem solved.

[Cell phone number: 18718368029]

Watch where you are going!

Don't go.

My leg!

It hurts!

Simei, fetch a doctor to take my pulse.

What happened?

- Ouch! - What did the doctor say?

The doctor said that it is a comminuted fracture. He's old so it'll take some time to heal.

He might be incapacitated and we should be prepared.

How did it get so bad?

Brother Qiao!

Brother Qiao!

- Brother Qiao! - Xiao Qu.

What happened?

I thought I'd never see you again.

Don't say that.

- I didn't get the money. - Second Brother.

I almost lost my life there.

Brother Qiao, look at you.

We can't let my birthday be the day you die.

Where is the driver? Did he just run?

So many people saw it in broad daylight, but nobody stepped up?

Letting an old man suffer through this.

Second Brother, enough. There's no use saying this now.

Our old man doesn't look like a good person.

The driver must be afraid that he'd get blackmailed.

Enough.

Ouch! It hurts!

It hurts!

Everyone else is asleep.

It hurts!

There are only two patients in this ward.

He is a vegetable.

So they wouldn't bother each other.

Thank you Director Liu.

I'll head back to my office now. Just let me know if you need anything.

Sounds good. Sorry for all the troubles.

No worries.

Yicheng.

- He is a vegetable? - That's right.

That's a living dead.

You can stay here. Or if you want to go anywhere, I'll drive you there.

If you really want, I can send you to Qu's home.

There are a lot of people in the country. They can look after you.

They can pay the medical bills too.

After all these years,

You don't have one kind word for your own father.

Xiao Qu.

Brother,

Your hand moved just now.

Can you hear me talking?

Did someone come to visit?

The flowers are beautiful.

Please tell Doctor Wang to contact his family.

Roger.

Qiaoqiao.

Your dad is going to the dancing class entrance exam. Are you nervous?

I'm not.

Here.

Don't worry about it. You should go to the hospital. I can look after Qiaoqiao.

Let me know if you need help with anything.

We will know more after we get there.

If something is wrong, I might need more time.

Don't worry about it. I'll pick up Qiaoqiao when she's done with the class.

She can go back to the bookstore with me.

- Go now. Be careful. - Bye mom!

Even a vegetable needs to be watered and have its soils loosened.

What about me?

Are you just leaving me here to die on my own?

I want to go home.

I want to live in my own house and sleep in my own bed.

This is not a good place to stay for the long term.

It brings bad luck.

You weren't even afraid of cholera.

Now you are paranoid about everything. What if something happens to you at home?

What could happen?

Sanli, the two of them doesn't understand this.

Don't pretend that you don't either.

Your mother-in-law didn't want to stay in the hospital either.

You took her home and looked after her.

Am I wrong?

I want to go back to my own home!

Do I need your approval for this?

Big Brother!

Are you leaving?

You can't just leave your dad, right?

Where are you going?

Getting the paperworks for the discharge.

- Aunt Qu. - Erqiang.

- What did they say? - You're the last one to arrive every time.

Do you like it?

I do.

Let's go.

Grandma Wu, hello.

Qiaoqiao, you look pretty today.

Where did your dad take you?

I went to dance class.

You're amazing. Does it cost a lot?

Simei, you got off work early.

No, I didn't have to work today, but I ended up watching the newbies.

Mom, look. I drew a pirate ship.

I'll have all the Mirmos soon.

Did you go to KFC?

Qiaoqiao wanted the toy for the kids' meal, so I took her there.

- Sister Simei. - Go home.

I didn't know Qiaoqiao's dad is also here.

Then I'll cook a few more dishes. Maybe a duck.

That's fine. He just sent Qiaoqiao home. He'll leave soon.

He still needs to watch his shop.

I must go now. I can't let only one shop assistant watch it.

Little Qu, take a walk tomorrow.

Sunbathe

and get rid of bad luck.

We'll see.

Even the best-laid plans may go awry.

What if it rains tomorrow?

If you get wet in the rain, you'll attract bad luck instead.

The pear has a lot of water. Don't eat much. It's inconvenient for you to get up at night.

Mom, Uncle Qiao.

You're back already.

Are you really going to the culinary course?

Have you eaten?

Take it.

Since you go to school, you should cook some dishes for your wife so she can get more nutrition.

Look at your second son.

He's an honest person indeed.

He even paid Wenbin's tuition so he could go to school.

Is he being smart or silly?

Instead of paying such an expensive tuition to someone,

he should teach Wenbin

some practical skills by himself.

They're brothers. In the future,

they'll be able to help and plan for each other. Isn't it better?

We're a family. The people are reliable.

Don't you think so?

Even the best-laid plans may go awry.

Sister,

that man...

Qiaoqiao's father is handsome.

- He was more handsome when he was younger. - He's still good-looking.

You can't just look at men that way.

You're still young. You don't understand it yet.

You'll know when you grow up.

Did you know Wenbin before you married him?

Were you both in love?

We went on a blind date.

We don't care about free love back home.

Do you like him then?

I can't say I like or dislike him.

Anyway he's my husband now.

Have you ever dated other men except him?

When I went to school, a boy treated me quite well.

But my dad didn't let me study. He made me go home.

Later on, I went on a blind date and got married.

Sister, will you and he get back together?

That's enough.

What's wrong?

Meiqin,

are you pregnant?

We will...

What's going on?

Don't.

Alright. Don't wash it. I'll wash it.

- Okay. Take some rest. - Someone!

Don't catch a cold.

Save me! Save me!

I can't move!

What's wrong?

I'm dying soon.

Don't talk nonsense.

Dad.

Sanli. Sanli, I can't move.

I'm dying soon. I'm dying soon.

When we were in the hospital, the doctor said

that he might end up like this.

But I didn't expect it to be this soon.

The doctor said that it was impossible for him to recover.

Eldest brother, what should we do? We'll listen to you.

Each of us contributes some money,

but don't give it all to that woman.

We give her every month

as a reward for taking care of our dad.

Forget about the money you've secretly given before.

Don't give any money secretly from now on.

Record everything in our shared account. Sanli's in charge.

Send it every month.

You all go back and look from time to time.

I'm okay with it.

But...

What are you doing?

Don't take it away. Put it here. Put it here.

- It's not... - Put it here.

So I can put things here.

Little Qu

Erqiang, what has your eldest brother been doing lately?

I haven't seen him for a while.

Recently, my eldest brother...

Don't tell me he's busy at work

reporting news.

Erqiang's here.

Erqiang,

don't let your dad eat bananas.

Bananas may cause diarrhea. If he poops in bed again,

I won't have energy to wash the bedsheets for him.

My dad said he had a bitter taste in his mouth

and wanted to eat a little.

He always likes eating bananas.

He only ate a few bites.

Eating is very important.

Also, he can't move around or go anywhere like this.

This is the only pleasure.

Jsut let him eat some.

You're talking like I'm treating your dad badly.

Having served him for a long time, I surely know what he likes to eat.

He's been sick for a while.

Isn't it me staying here day and night

and cleaning the whole place?

At least I work hard.

Speak with a conscience, Erqiang.

Aunt,

the money for this month. Keep it safe.

Dad, I'll go now.

I'll come back and visit you in a few days.

- Are you leaving? - Are you leaving?

Okay. I won't see you out.

Don't worry. I'll take good care of your dad.
