[Falling Before Fireworks]

[Episode 6]

Do you still want to play?

Yes.

Last round.

I'm one tile away from winning.

I promise I'll avenge you this time.

Let me see.

[Jing Chen]

Six dots. Nine dots.

I win.

Grandpa, you are so good.

Grandpa finally won.

Say something.

Grandpa.

[Siqing]

[Siqing's CV]

What is this?

This is the template I gave you.

I think we should

do a deep dive into this.

The trophy issue has passed.

Thank you.

I asked the doctor today.

He said grandpa has dementia.

But tonight,

I think he's in a good condition.

How much longer does he have to stay?

Grandpa is much easier to get along with than you.

[Nurse Station]

I haven't seen Grandpa so happy

in a long time.

Thank you.

If I knew the annotations were so important to Grandpa,

I wouldn't have...

When do you have a holiday?

Two days before the Spring Festival. Why?

Let's find a time to meet your parents.

[Mom]

[Dad]

When you got married and divorced,

you didn't think so hard about it.

I didn't come the day before New Year's Day

and you got married.

I thought you were pregnant.

Since you were hauling a big box

of stuff for postpartum.

Forget about my dad.

He has his own family and doesn't care about me.

As for my mom,

there are only two kinds of men in her eyes.

Rich and ugly guys and

poor and handsome guys.

Which one do you think

she will choose?

I don't know about her.

But for me,

I'll choose the rich one during the day

and pick the hot one at night.

Friend,

you're testing boundaries here.

The sooner you die, the sooner you reincarnate.

Prepare the heart-saving pills for me.

I need more time.

That's it.

[Group Chat]

[Happy Wedding Addressing Siqing]

[Chat Message]

What are you afraid of?

It's already done.

It's not like you're getting a divorce.

Besides,

with his looks, it's not a loss for you.

Tone it down a notch.

He's still my man now.

Then,

[Certificate Holder Siqing]

do you like him?

Yes.

Then...

does he like you?

I...

Look at me asking such nonsense.

A love like yours that is reciprocal

is too good to be true.

We...

We...

[Aunt]

[Decline] [Accept]

Mom.

I...

I'm training at Nancheng now.

It ends at noon tomorrow,

and I have a flight back at 9pm.

Bring him over for dinner

and inform your dad.

I don't want to waste time to make an appointment again.

Okay.

Got it.

[Siqing]

[Information of Siqing]

[Siqing]

[Siqing]

My parents want to have a meal with you.

Are you free at 12pm?

Yes, you can arrange it.

[Yes, you arrange it and I'll be there on time.]

I'll be there on time.

That's good.

Grandpa.

You're still up?

Do you want some water?

Grandpa.

Siqing showed me photos

of the lantern festival in the garden.

She said

some young people uploaded them online.

They are all saying that the garden is well maintained.

Someone even recognized

the mortise and tenon joint.

Chen,

you did a good job.

It's just a pity.

Those craftsmen

who worked with me before

were not

as lucky as me.

Young people nowadays

don't know these things.

Fewer people are willing to learn properly.

When you were young,

they were very kind to you.

When you are able to do so,

you should help them too.

Okay, I will.

The marriage of the two families

[Marriage Certificate]

is a contract.

A good match will last forever.

On this day,

the peach trees bloom so it's good to get married.

In the future,

the descendants shall flourish

and prosper.

Hereby

promising on paper to grow old together.

[Hereby promising on paper to grow old together] [This is proof of the heavenly gift like the poem inscribed on red leaves recorded in Yuanyang Pu]

This is proof of the heavenly gift

like the poem inscribed on red leaves

recorded in Yuanyang Pu.

Officiant, Jing Kangshan.

[Marriage Certificate]

[Presider of the wedding ceremony Jing Kangshan]

Grandpa.

Grandpa!

Can you let me know a few days ahead

before we meet next time?

I'm not always available

to accommodate your schedule

from all the way out there.

This is a Saturday.

As an elementary school teacher on contract,

what are you so busy with?

Busy sending your second wife's

children to cram schools, right?

[Jing Chen]

Where are you now?

Since Qing was young,

you've never cared.

It's not like you have to care about this marriage.

What are you talking about?

Since when did I not care about her?

I'm the one who took care of her in primary school.

Did you even take care of her for a day?

[Jing Chen]

You only care about money.

Making money, lots of money,

is the most important thing to you, right?

I need to make a call.

There must be a traffic jam.

Prepare yourself. It's either today or tomorrow.

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

It's my Cheng, he's back.

Grandpa.

He's not back.

He won't come back.

I'm the one who came back.

Jing Chen.

I'm back.

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Sir.

Sir.

Get up, sir.

He's on his way here.

But there's a problem with the car.

It'll take about an hour.

Why don't we order first?

Give me your phone.

[Calls]

Not answering his phone, late to meet parents.

He has no manners at all.

This is the person you are going to marry?

Since you don't have a child

or property disputes,

get a divorce right away.

I'd rather you get a divorce

than come back crying to me later

with a baby in your arms.

[Jing Chen]

[Decline] [Accept]

[Jing Chen]

[Decline] [Accept]

Siqing, stop right there!

Qing.

Your mother is right this time.

You are right.

But you're always like this.

At the college entrance examination, you denied the major I wanted.

When I graduated, you intervened in my career path.

For my grades, you sent me

to boarding school since elementary.

For my sister's school district's Household Register,

you moved my Household Register

from your new family Household Register

to the talent market.

Now it's my marriage.

Do you think you have

fulfilled your parental responsibilities

by making your presence known

in every major choice of my life?

But is it really necessary?

After you divorced,

you never remembered

my birthday correctly, not once.

No.

There was once.

When I graduated from university,

after I reminded you again and again,

you finally remembered.

But when I rushed home from Nancheng,

both of you had more important things to do.

So you had to stand me up.

I'm not saying this

to blame you.

Actually, you've never treated me badly.

You just keep telling me

I should be sensible

and should work hard.

I'm used to it.

Mom,

I know it's not easy for you to make money.

Dad,

you have a new family.

It's inevitably you will show favoritism to them.

I just wish that

if you can't give me more,

then don't give me anything.

Besides,

I don't need it at my age anymore.

Let's go.

Uncle, auntie, I'm Jing Chen.

Sorry for being late.

This is the marriage certificate my grandfather wrote

and betrothal gifts for Siqing.

My grandpa likes her very much.

I'll do my best to take care of Siqing.

Don't worry.

He's so thoughtful.

Siqing said

you only have your grandfather.

We'll visit him another day.

My grandpa

just left.

My condolences.

Dad, are you guys here?

I'll come pick you up.

I just got home.

Your mother and I came back on the same flight.

I didn't expect the customs at Nancheng

would drag on for so long.

We've attended the ceremonies

for the past two days.

Your sister has an English listening exam today.

Her mother is on shift

so I came back to keep her company.

Dad.

Jing Chen only has one family member.

Can’t you guys…

Forget it.

Whatever.

[Refreshing air]

♫The sun is high in the blue sky♫

♫The sun illuminates the big place♫

I got it!

♫We are the motherland's...♫

Here.

Who are you?

You're an adult.

Why are you fighting with the kids?

Then how can you people, who are older than me,

drink and have fun

at a funeral?

The dead should be honored.

Don't you have basic respect?

It's okay.

This is Siqing.

We just got our marriage certificate.

Grandpa met her and liked her very much.

She has never seen funeral customs of the countryside.

Please forgive her.

I've never heard of it.

It's like a wedding banquet.

The passing of a person over eighty years old

is indeed a happy occasion in the countryside.

So you're the new wife.

She's quite pretty.

She's worthy of our Chen.

Chen,

you have a companion now.

Your grandpa can rest in peace.

Am I right?

Yes.

Look how compatible they are.

Uncle Jing,

Why did you leave so early?

Jing Chen has a wife now.

That means you will

have great-grandchildren soon.

Here, new wife.

Take the microphone.

Sing a song for your grandpa.

Yes, sing for grandpa.

Sing a song!

Sing a song!

Sorry.

I really can't sing now.

She sings out of tune.

Let me do it.

Okay.

Sing a song.

Just one song.

Go to the kitchen. It's quiet there.

Go.

Come on. Sing! Sing!

Can you give me the harmonica?

You’re here.

Manager Si.

You and Chen...

I didn't expect you two to get together.

Although this occasion

isn't very appropriate,

but I still want to congratulate you.

Thank you.

Thank you for today.

Chen is the one who suffered the most.

Thanks to his calmness,

all these things

can be done in an orderly way.

It's not easy

for him.

They may not say it,

but they're staring at him.

Being the adopted one,

it's much harder than being the biological grandson.

[Yanfu Temple]

The wood is damp

from all this rain.

[Lin Shui Xuan]

I don't know how long this temple will be fixed.

Is he your son?

[Lin Shui Xuan]

Why is he

doing homework in the temple?

You mean Chen?

[Lin Shui Xuan]

He's an orphan in the village.

The old village head named him

and let him live in the little earth hut

next to the temple.

The villagers usually give him food

to do good.

Boss.

Eat.

Give him a bowl of wonton.

Okay.

Child.

You're also called Cheng.

What a coincidence.

Do you want onions in the wonton?

Boss,

don't put onions in the wonton.

Put shrimp skin.

You don't like wontons?

I do.

So I can't finish them at once.

Boss.

Give me another bowl of wonton.

Look at you.

Isn't he...

You're here.

Dear relatives and friends,

dear filial children

and descendants.

The clouds are low.

The grass and trees are sorrowful.

The skies are crying.

The earth is sighing.

Today,

it is with great sadness that we

send off the old man, Jing Kangshan.

Mr. Jing was 89 years old.

We are deeply saddened by

the tragic death of Mr. Jing.

Mr. Jing was easy-going and gentle.

His death

is the misfortune of the Jing family and friends.

We are distraught,

grief-stricken.

We are heartbroken

and gutted.

It is with great sadness and grief that

we mourn the loss of Jing Kangshan.

Grandson Jing Cheng, kowtow to bid farewell.

Jing Chen, he's calling you.

Is he also called Jing Chen?

It's me who's also called Jing Chen.

Old man.

I'm back.

Sorry.

I've broken the promise again.

Sorry.

He's three years older than me.

Cheng as in tamarix chinensis.

Your name is better.

Chen.

It means treasure.

Let's go.

It's our turn.

I can tell

who is the biological grandson immediately.

It seems that it's not like

the biological grandson didn't want to come back.

I guess these years,

his place was taken so he couldn't come back.

It's been more than ten years.

Yes.

Poor thing.

Look at his biological great-grandson.

They didn't even see each other for one last time.

We saw both of them

grow up with our own eyes.

They are both filial.

We mixed up the two of them.

We thought

the child Uncle Jing brought back

was his biological grandson, Jing Cheng.

The inheritance

and this garden.

Who will Uncle Jing leave it to?

Who knows?

Although the older one has blood ties,

this garden

was built by the younger one.

You're right.

[To achieve immortality through one's works]

You're married.

Why didn't you inform me?

I didn't have time.

Before Grandpa left,

he gave me a call.

He asked me to come back as soon as possible.

From now on, it will be just us two brothers.

As your older brother,

I will take good care of you.

Do you know what Grandpa said before he died?

He said

Cheng is back.

Which Cheng is he talking about?

What do you think?

I'm not you.

Who cares about that?

The garden is well built.

It's almost identical to where

the three of us used to live.

Didn't you feel guilty

when you were working on this garden?

Then again,

someone like you

clearly wouldn't.

Chen is lucky to marry you.

Go back.

Keep him company.

No matter what you want to ask,

don't ask him now.

Go in.

[To achieve immortality through one's works]

[Yanfu Temple]

Chen,

I'll be your grandpa from now on.

Let's go.

Grandpa will buy you a bowl of wonton.

I'm really sorry.

Something urgent came up at home.

I need to take another day off tomorrow.

Siqing.

Two clients are coming this afternoon.

Please receive them for me.

Siqing.

Ms. Chen.

About

the birthday gift you gave to the guests...

You forgot the longevity money.

What is longevity money?

It's a red envelope that you gift in return.

It doesn't matter how much it is.

It symbolizes a long and healthy life.

If you don't put any in,

I'm afraid Sam will be criticized.

I should have reminded him.

I thought he knew the custom.

I'll go back and tell Jing Chen.

Thank you, Ms. Chen.

Cheng.

It's Chen.

Okay.

I called the wrong person.

Chen.

You like wood?

Do you want to be my grandson?

I'll buy you wontons every day.

It's my Cheng, he is back.

Grandpa.

He's not back.

He won't come back.

I'm the one who came back.

Jing Chen.

Let's go.

Grandpa bought wontons for Chen.

Boss.

Give him a bowl of wonton.

Okay.

Do you want onions in the wonton?

Boss.

Don't put onions in the wonton.

My grandson

doesn't eat onions.

Put shrimp skin.

Add more shrimp skin.

Grandpa!
