[Falling Before Fireworks]

[Episode 13]

What about Yun Pian?

When did she know?

She was the first one to know.

At that time,

Chen was very dispirited.

He didn't care

whether his hand would be crippled.

Later, I realized

that physical pain

meant nothing to Chen.

What really made him feel bad

is the weight on his heart.

So he had

post-traumatic stress disorder, right?

They were really close.

As the saying goes,

youth is the most sentimental.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have given up going abroad

and gone back to the countryside

as soon as he graduated and for such a long time.

Mentor.

This is the pain in his heart.

Don't mention it in front of him again.

It's all in the past.

Can he really let it be passed?

You know how to carve?

Only a little.

My grandfather was a carpenter.

Don't stop. Continue.

Let me tell you.

The biggest difference between works by humans and machines

is the expression

and the depth of the lines.

Here.

Use this.

It's better that you do it.

You...

got injured before?

Look at the draft.

If there's no problem,

I'll take it back and refine it again.

It should be done tomorrow.

Not a single problem.

I think it's almost done.

The cost for the design draft...

This is nothing.

But I have a favour to ask you.

Go ahead.

I'm preparing a traditional arts exhibition hall.

I want to borrow your root carvings for the exhibition.

When my grandfather was alive,

he had been carving

this root.

Until my father passed away,

it still hasn't been finished.

Well,

I had nothing to do recently,

so I dug it out

and tried to finish it.

I never thought about selling it.

But the exhibition you mentioned

sounds good.

How about this?

If you like it,

after I finish it,

you can just take it.

Thank you.

[Take-out Pick-up Area]

What?

Yun Pian was your husband's first love!

Your husband even cut his wrist for her!

And now she has moved next door to you?

Why do you still have the mood to drink bubble tea here?

[Little Engineer]

Go home now.

Show off your marriage license to declare sovereignty.

She lives next door, right?

You should let her check your study results.

Let's see if she can still live there.

I can do that.

[Little Engineer]

[Jing Chen]

[You won't cook dinner tonight?]

[Okay, I know.]

You have sent him three messages, and he replies with none?

I'm afraid if I go back now, I will stab him.

He even committed suicide for a woman.

Look at him.

Calm down.

If you go back and argue with Jing Chen now,

she will have her way.

Pushing your man toward her.

At this time,

you need to be big-hearted.

That way,

only then will Jing Chen feel guilty about you.

Who cares?

Anyway, there is still a week before

the deadline for the divorce procedure.

If she's willing,

I will sign the paper anytime.

Siqing!

Siqing!

Is Siqing here?

You want to see her?

I want to see you.

I want you to repair a cup for me.

But I have promised Siqing

that I won't come to you when she's not around.

How about this?

I'll come back tomorrow morning.

[Siqing]

[Person is typing]

[Siqing]

As long as you like the design drawing.

Then I...

60 sets?

Well,

you also want to apply that design

to other furniture?

No problem.

But it may take longer.

Such a short time!

I can't finish it in such a short time.

You don't know.

It will take me a month

to finish one set of tabletop screens.

This...

No.

The products from hand carving and machine carving

are different.

You're making it difficult for me.

I only handcraft my products

instead of using machines.

The point is

that the drawing was not designed by me.

I can't make the decision.

You're so annoying. Why do you keep tickling me?

Have you eaten?

Not yet.

I'll get them for you.

Did you make this?

Keeping your head down is not good for your shoulders and neck.

You're quite thoughtful.

Why are you working so late today?

I went shopping with Jian Yue.

You didn't buy anything?

[Wechat Moment]

[Yun Pian]

This skill is called jinshan.

It can't meet your requirements without leaving a crack.

[Yun Pian]

[We were both young and refused to compromise. When I grew up, I realized the beauty of the broken.]

[Just like him, he can give every cloud its golden trim.]

Young and refuse to compromise.

The beauty of broken.

I have something to ask you.

To use the skill of jinshan to repair stuff.

Why does this skill have to use such expensive

gold powder and gold leaf

as well as so much time and energy?

Why don't you just use the skill of traceless repair?

A broken mirror

can never be fully repaired without a trace.

It's just that you can't see it.

As for the jinshan technique,

it's to respect and preserve the broken pieces.

Save the broken traces with gold paint

to give them new vitality and beauty.

Many people choose to leave cracks.

They don't think it's ugly

and think it's another kind of beauty.

Leaving traces on purpose.

You artists are quite romantic.

You have so many things to say about a broken cup.

Did Yun Pian send that to you?

She left when you were not here.

You send it back tomorrow.

I'm too busy to fix it.

Send it back yourself.

I'm going to take a shower.

I have a lot of work to do tonight.

So I'll sleep in the guest room.

My purse.

Bomb.

[Scar Gel]

Many people choose to leave cracks.

They don't think it's ugly

and think it's another kind of beauty.

[Scar Gel]

[Jing Garden]

[Jing Garden]

Can you give me a ride?

There's no taxi nearby.

If

you're afraid that Siqing might misunderstand,

you can call and report it to her.

Where are you going?

To the exhibition.

Just drop me off

where I can get a cab.

I should be able to get a taxi here.

Just drop me off here.

Why waste the money?

We're almost there.

Besides, I must do perfectly

what I promised Jing Chen.

Hold tight.

[Tashilong]

[Nancheng Commercial Bank]

This month,

we have

made mistakes 32 times in total.

Ranked at the top.

From now on, the tellers have to cross-check each other's accounts after work.

Whoever makes a mistake,

the one who checked the account will have their wages deducted too.

Also, the credit department

needs to double-check borrowers' backgrounds carefully.

When will Teng Liqun's loan be paid off?

He will pay 30,000 yuan today.

I'll go to the wood carving shop to collect the money.

The remaining 70,000 yuan

will be paid in two months.

Okay, you have to follow this case closely.

Don't make the same mistake again.

Anbang is coming.

Get back to work.

Is anyone here?

What the hell?

Is anyone here?

Are you chatting with a mop in your hand?

Come and fix it.

Sir,

can I help you?

How can I help you?

Take a look yourself.

Shit.

I saw it even if you didn't tell me.

Which moron

mistook our ATM

for a bathroom stall with heating?

Clean it now.

I need to withdraw money.

The machine next door can't do

cash business.

I'm sorry, sir.

Please wait a moment.

Wait for us...

Wait for what?

I'm going to be late for work.

This is your turf.

Do you want me to clean it for you?

Stop talking nonsense.

Hurry up, or

you can withdraw the money for me over the counter.

I'm sorry, sir. Here is the thing.

Anbang hasn't sent the money box yet.

That's why we can't do it for you even if we want to.

I'm really sorry, sir.

Our counter

will be open at nine.

Why don't you have some tea in our lounge?

We'll call you when it's clean.

Hurry up.

Yu.

Sir, this way please.

This way.

What are you waiting for?

No way.

Absolutely impossible.

You can clean it yourself.

Don't drag me along.

I didn't come to the bank to clean up their poop and piss.

You are a master. Of course you're not.

If I count on you,

[ATM has been disinfected]

I'll have a complaint every month.

I...

[Nancheng Commercial Bank]

[Nancheng Commercial Bank]

Move aside.

Come on.

Let me tell you.

I haven't even washed

a pair of chopsticks at home.

I'm going to clean somebody's poop here today.

You either shut up or get out.

I have to collect debts.

I can't.

[Nancheng Commercial Bank]

Chi Zhongyu, watch my shoes.

You... Take it.

I'll get another tool.

[ATM has been disinfected]

I wouldn't have helped you if I was afraid you would tell Chen.

Ortherwise, I wouldn't have helped you even if I had resigned.

Mentor,

I'm not blaming you.

Can you stop focusing on

the shit in the bank?

Think more about my Senior.

Chen and her

may have already

talked from Monet to Van Gogh

in the five minutes as we cleaned up the mess.

I'm the only one that is vulgar.

You are all elegant artists.

Okay?

Why is she so irritated?

She hasn't made up with Chen yet?

It can't be.

I’ve said so much to persuade her.

You designed this drawing.

I...

want to use it for mass production

with machines.

But I need your permission first.

I just don't understand

why you suddenly want to use machines.

It's not that sudden.

I've thought about it for a long time.

I hate myself

for choosing this career,

whenever I have a hard time

and feel like I can’t endure it anymore.

Why am I so useless?

I let my family

suffer with me.

Are you sure to pull the plug?

If he is discharged,

your father may...

Pull the plug.

Pull the plug

and we'll all suffer less.

Pull the plug,

and we're all free.

[Date] [Withdrawal] [Balance]

Dad!

I didn't dare think about it later.

Until last month,

it was my mom's turn.

I went around to borrow money.

I got cold shoulders

from my relatives and friends

and didn't get a penny.

Why?

Because I'm poor.

No one lent me a penny.

Until the due date

of the payment.

I stood in front of the bank.

I even wanted to rob the bank.

But

when I entered the bank,

I met Manager Si.

It was she

who agreed to lend me a loan of 100,000 yuan.

She is a good girl.

Today

is the last day of repayment.

If you don't agree,

I won't be able to repay the loan I owe your wife.

I beg you.

Name your price.

In this way,

not only will you have extra income,

but I can also pay off the loan.

You don't have to

threaten me with my wife.

Master Teng.

Manager Si, sorry.

I'm afraid

I can't repay the loan.

Huh?

What do you mean you can't?

Didn’t we agree on this?

And my husband helped you draw the design.

There is something wrong

with the design drawing.

What's wrong?

The client wanted to order more.

But I can't carve them

all by myself.

So,

I can only use the machine.

Jing Chen disagrees?

No. No.

It has nothing to do with him.

It's my fault.

What happened?

It's okay.

I can solve this.

I'll solve it.

I'll call you later.

He has a deep scar on his wrist.

You've never seen it before, right?

Why are you back now?

Why didn't you let Teng Liqun use your draft?

He told me he wanted a hand-carving wood design.

The design drawing I drew...

Is there any difference between hand carving and machine carving?

It's all for money.

Why do you care so much about it?

There's a difference.

Traditional craftsmanship...

Jing Chen.

I don't have time,

and I'm not in the mood to listen to it.

I don’t understand the persistence of artists like you.

If you don't give the draft to him,

he can't take the order,

and he can't repay the loan.

This loan was my mistake.

It's different from Zhao Feng's.

If I can't get the money back,

do you know what will happen to me?

I know.

I'm begging you this time.

For my sake.

You give the design...

That's right.

You know it.

You just don't want to do this for me.

It's not that.

You don't have to force yourself.

We know it better than anyone.

Although we want to

make this marriage work,

we started this relationship without thinking it through.

we don’t even know each other well.

So I always understand you.

You would rather grieve alone

when Grandpa died,

than show me your emotions

or tell me about your past.

As for me,

I can only get information about you

from Chen Lianzhi, Chi Zhongyu,

and even Yun Pian.

I used to think it didn't matter.

It's just that...

Never mind.

What do you mean, never mind?

We'll talk about it later.

I'm going back to the bank now.

President.

[Jingyu Hall]

You made this?

Keeping your head down is not good for your shoulders and neck.

I used to think

you only had some feelings

for Jing Chen.

But looking at you now,

I think you really like him.

That's why

you care so much about their past.

I really, really, really like him.

There are many photo frames left.

We can fill them up slowly.

So what else can we do?

Just keep giving him much love and care.

If he doesn't want to talk, I'll pretend I don't know.

I'll buy him a scar gel later.

But if it can't be removed,

we can find another way

to mark this scar.

Let's go.

Why did I vent my anger on him?

Are you crazy?

Don't you want this hand anymore?

Or do you plan to

let Grandpa Jing see you ruin yourself again?

[Crafts and Hearts]

It's you, right?

You guessed it.

Are you angry?

I admit that I was the one who ordered furniture

and increased the orders at the last minute from Teng Liqun.

But that's all.

Teng Liqun gave up hand carving

and chose the machine,

which is his compromise to reality

and money.

Siqing blames you for not giving him the design

because she values her career more.

She doesn't understand your persistence toward traditional craftsmanship.

Don't be so condescending

and humiliate

the persistence of a traditional craftsman.

Teng Liqun did nothing wrong.

He has the right to choose the path.

Since he didn't do anything wrong,

why don't you

give him the design drawing?

And you can help Siqing by doing this.

Why do you all think

I don't want to give the design to him?

The machine can't give its products the sense of dimension

and the charm of characters.

This is the design for machine carving.

I never thought of rejecting Teng Liqun.

Master Teng,

please don't blame your choice

on my wife.

She can't take on such a big responsibility.

Besides,

the draft was for handmade wood carving.

It's not suitable for machines.

I'll draw another one for you.

Why?

Tell me.

People like me...

Both Siqing and I think

you are a great craftsman.

The hardest part of

craftsmanship is

to protect the crafts.

Especially

in such a restless environment,

you can hold on untill now.

Others are not qualified to comment on you.

I'm just a deserter. I'm even more unqualified.

As for the design drawing,

it's the least I can do

for a craftsman.

Of course,

I won't deny

that there is a part of my selfishness

for my wife.

In the past,

you would never change the design.

You broke your principles this time

because you wanted to help Teng Liqun,

not because of Siqing.

I can understand it this way, right?

In front of her,

I have no principles.

Why?

Where does she deserve for you to do so?

[Jing Garden]

When did she know?

She was the first to know.

At that time,

Chen was very dispirited.

He didn't care

whether he would be crippled.

Later I realized

that physical pain

meant nothing to Chen.

What really made him feel bad

is the weight on his heart.

So he had

post-traumatic stress disorder, right?

They were really close.

As the saying goes,

youth is the most sentimental.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have given up going abroad

and gone back to the countryside as soon as he graduated

and for such a long time.

You married her

because she bought your auction work.

If I were the one

who bought your work,

would you...

No.

Neither would you.

Yun Pian.

You should use your competitiveness somewhere else

instead of my marriage with Siqing.

If the design is fine,

remember to pay Teng Liqun as promised.

[Siqing]

[Temporary business trip for a few days. Be back on Monday morning, and we should get the divorce procedure done that day too.]
