[Episode 20]

[Comprehensive Building]

Really? Did the doctor really say that?

Really.

[Hospitalization Expense List] The doctor said there's a significant improvement.

You can be discharged.

We will help you with the discharge procedures later.

Then we'll go home.

It's so good to go home.

Well, then please

help me tidy up the old house.

What's the matter, Mom? Do you dislike me?

Don't you want to live with me?

What are you talking about?

I really like you.

If you don't dislike me, that's great.

Then I'll accompany you to live in the old house.

How can this be?

You are a newly married couple.

How can I let you keep me company?

Why not?

You don't want to live with us.

That means you must hate someone.

If it's not me, then it must be him.

Anyway, we won't force you.

But we can't let you live alone.

So I have to accompany you.

No, Xiaoning.

I-I don't mean that.

If you don't mean so,

then let's go home and live together.

It's settled then.

You!

You are fooling me around.

I want to make you happy.

We are going home to live together, it's settled then.

In-law.

You are here.

Dad, Mom.

Ji. How are you?

Pretty good.

- Pretty good. - Give it to me.

I made you mushroom soup.

I wanted to make chicken soup.

I've bought the chicken, but she wouldn't let me cook it.

She's taking the immunocomplex,

can't supplement estrogen, yet you still make chicken soup.

You are messing around.

Drinking chicken soup to supplement estrogen is wrong.

Moreover, it's called immunohistochemistry,

not called immunocomplex.

Did you understand that?

You come to bring me food every now and then.

My stomach is truly enjoying the good life.

It's so happy.

Look how plump it is.

We do not just bring you food,

I even brought you something good.

This is the new Shasanguo game I bought. Take a look.

Sanguosha.

Sanguosha.

Today it would be called Sanguosha, no matter what.

Actually, I kind of envy the relationship you have with your parents.

My mom and I…

Actually, before the two of us got along,

the relationship between my mom and I was even worse than now.

I have studied abroad for three years before.

I didn't come back to Star City until last year because she got sick.

My mom always felt like she didn't really know me.

So did I.

I don't know how to get close to her.

There's still time.

After your mom is discharged,

you could spend more time with her.

She is getting better every day.

It's the chance Heaven gave you.

You have to seize this chance,

don't leave any regrets for yourself.

Understood.

Mr. Ji, that's impressive.

Zhouyang Hotel is a tough nut to crack.

Mr. Jiang was always concerned about this before he left.

I can't believe you could secure the contract

in less than a month.

Luck plays a part in it.

It is mainly due to a collective effort.

Senior, you're modest.

Everyone knows how tough that boss is to deal with.

And you could handle it so quickly.

That's certainly a personal achievement.

Tang, we are working at a bank,

we shouldn't talk about clients.

Especially don't label them.

We're just saying casually.

You are right. I'll pay more attention next time.

Mr. Ji, after closing such a big deal,

should we have a celebration dinner tonight?

Better to do it tonight.

I have to take my mom back home to visit my dad's grave tomorrow.

And I need to go prepare for it tonight.

Well, once the contract is officially signed,

I'll arrange the celebration dinner.

Great, deal. Then I'll go back to work.

- Alright. - Get back to work.

Senior.

Tang, I have mentioned it…

Mr. Ji, sorry I forgot it.

I will be careful next time.

What's wrong?

We visited your mom at the hospital last time.

But I asked the hospital,

they said that caregivers will take care of two patients at the same time now.

It might not be enough care for your mom.

Well, I have a friend

who just happens to run a nursing hospital.

Let's hire a caregiver for her.

I can ask for a discount.

The price is much cheaper than the hospital's.

Thank you.

My mom is very satisfied with the current caregiver.

She doesn't need it. Thank you.

Well, starting from today,

I can go to the hospital to chat with your mom after work every day.

I wanted to go directly,

but I was afraid you'd think

I was deliberately approaching your mom.

I just think that your mom is getting old

and quite lonely,

yet you're busy with work. I can go talk to her for you.

Thank you.

There's no need for that.

Why?

I think I get along well with your mom.

And as a mom,

if she sees a suitable person appearing around her child,

she would feel relieved.

I've already said what needed to be said.

No need.

And now it's working hours, please go back to your work.

You know I like you.

I'm not supposed to talk about this at work,

but to avoid trouble,

I think I should still make things clear.

I like someone else.

We have no chance.

Who is it?

Mr. Ji, I've brought you the file you requested.

Heard it?

You were very determined. Good.

Give it back to me.

Limin.

Heng and I haven't come to see you together for many years.

I used to come by myself.

Every time, I would

talk a lot about him.

I always tell you to bring him along next time.

[Father Ji Limin]

I've fooled you for so many years, don't blame me.

See, I kept my word today.

I've brought him to see you.

Xiaoning, come and let dad take a look.

Limin.

This is our daughter-in-law, Xiaoning.

Xiaoning is pretty and kind.

She's a nice kid.

With her by Heng's side, we can rest assured.

Go and say a few words to your dad.

No need.

It's been a long time since you visited your dad, hasn't it?

Go ahead.

[Grave of Father Ji Limin]

I'm doing quite well.

So is mom.

We will visit you more often.

Dad.

[Being Frugal]

Be careful.

It's been so long since we last came back.

Let's tidy up and make do for tonight.

It's the family photo, Mom.

That was taken on Heng's eighth birthday.

It was taken in the yard.

You didn't look like a veteran cadre when you were little.

Mom.

You've made the dumpling filling well.

I can smell the fragrance even from this far away.

No wonder Yuheng likes it.

I've given you the recipe.

And you've also recorded the process.

You're so smart, you'll get it after trying a couple of times.

He'll definitely like the ones you make even more.

I'm not sure.

Didn't you just say

when he was little,

he could tell even if there were a few drops of sesame oil missing?

I definitely can't do it.

Back then, as soon as I made dumplings,

he would invite his friends over to eat.

They were all boys,

who were all growing.

Once my dumplings were ready,

they'd be all gone soon.

Then they would say

that Yuheng can be this tall thanks to the dumplings.

When he was in junior high school,

his height ranked first in his class.

Back then, he loved to play basketball.

He would play for an hour or two every day after school.

With a lot of exercise, one doesn't gain weight easily.

For a while,

he seemed to be malnourished.

He would look in the mirror and say,

"Why do I look like a bean sprout?"

Mom, hearing you talk about his childhood, it feels he's very funny and cute.

I don't think he's the same person now.

After his dad passed away,

he and I grew quite distant.

Thinking about it now,

the only thing I can remember in my head

is when he was a child.

Now, you understand him better than I do.

Mom. Look, this is pretty good, right?

This is alright.

[International Trade Channel]

[Happy Birthday]

Come on, let's light the candles for the birthday.

Come on, let's blow out the candles.

After blowing out the candles, we'll have the cake. Okay.

You haven't made a wish yet, why do you blow out the candles?

You two…

- Then I'll make a wish right now. - Right.

- We forgot to make a wish. - I hope

I can eat mom's homemade dumplings every day.

Having mom make dumplings every day

would wear mom out.

Let's wish for something else, shall we?

Then, I wish that dad and mom live to be a hundred years old

and our family stays together forever.

That's a good wish.

Then this wish must certainly come true, right?

Come on, let's take a photo.

Come on.

Come on, Yuheng.

Smile.

Come on, Happy Birthday.

Mom, why don't you go to bed?

Is the bed uncomfortable?

No.

I slept all the way here.

Now I can't sleep.

Did I wake you?

No, I just got a couple of work calls.

This is…

Something your dad left behind.

I couldn't sleep, so I took it out to look.

This photo was taken the same day as the one inside.

Your dad had always kept it in his wallet,

carrying it with him.

Before we talked about going to Yunnan,

I made a wish.

I said I wished to eat your homemade dumplings every day.

My dad said no, saying it would wear you out.

He asked me to change to a different one.

Do you still remember it?

Back then, we were so happy.

Actually, when we visited dad's grave today,

I could tell there's something on his mind.

Yuheng is just like that.

Sometimes he likes to keep silent,

not willing to talk about what's on his mind.

You need to motivate him.

If you are okay,

this is a good chance to talk with him.

And you can ask what's truly on his mind.

Heng.

There's something I've wanted to ask you.

When your dad passed away,

did you blame us?

Dad had committed suicide.

And I fell apart,

always wanted to die.

It's all in the past, Mom.

Time has passed, but that doesn't mean the grievances have.

Back then, I was so mad.

I was mad at your dad for not sharing his troubles with us.

I blamed him too.

I blamed him for abandoning us,

giving up and dying by himself.

Every day, I blamed him

and was drown in sorrow.

That's why I didn't let you mention him

or let you visit his grave.

But I forget

that you were just a kid.

A kid who had just lost his dad.

At that time, you had to study,

take care of me,

and deal with what people said about your dad.

You bore all that suffering alone.

Today,

when we visited your dad's grave,

I saw you didn't know

how to talk to your dad in front of me…

It's all my fault.

All these years you were out studying.

But apart from dumplings,

I don't even know what else you like to eat.

And I don't know what you like,

what difficulties you've encountered,

or how you've managed to get through them.

Others say you are independent,

but I know it's because you had no one to rely on.

Heng.

For so many years,

I owe you an apology.

I'm sorry.

It must have been tough for you all these years on your own.

Mom.

You don't have to apologize to me.

Because of what dad did,

I did blame you.

I blamed him for leaving us just like that.

I blamed you for not caring enough about me.

Actually, I don't understand

why you fell apart when my dad died.

Until later, I met Xiaoning.

I realized that people who really love each other

can't live without each other.

If not for me,

you might have gone with dad.

Mom, over the years, we have slowly drifted apart.

It's because I didn't give you the chance.

I'm sorry, Mom.

You've been lonely all these years too.

I've tried hard to be your support.

Let's get back the time we've lost together.

We certainly will, Mom.

We certainly will.

We certainly will.

Xiaoning, let me tell you.

These melon seeds taste especially good.

You're up. Did you sleep well?

Yes.

Why did you get up so early?

Xiaoning said she didn't dream at all last night.

She slept deeply, so woke up early.

There's breakfast on the table. Go eat.

Have you eaten?

We've all eaten.

Mom, did you sleep well last night?

I slept quite well.

I happen to have time today.

How about we accompany you for a walk in town?

Don't stay with me.

You should take Xiaoning out for a good stroll.

I want to go to visit your dad's grave later.

It's rare for me to come back,

I want to chat with your dad more.

Let him take you for a good tour.

Okay.

You're in a good mood today.

What's up? Did you win the lottery?

Didn't you hear me talking with mom last night?

I didn't hear anything. I slept very deeply last night,

so I didn't hear anything at all.

Really? When I went back to my room last night,

I thought I saw someone rushing onto the bed?

If it wasn't you, is it a ghost?

Don't try to scare me.

I'm not the kind of person who eavesdrops on others.

Mom said last night that she's feeling a lot better.

This time when we go back, let's get her discharged.

We can bring her home.

Really?

No wonder today,

she wanted to have a private chat with dad. Good news.

Do you want to know what really happened to my dad?

I do. But it's okay if you don't tell me.

I know it's a scar on your heart.

I'll be here when you're ready to tell me.

No bother.

As long as you want to hear, I can tell you.

Let's go.

My dad also used to work at the bank back then.

But later, he got involved in an illegal loan case.

At that time, the entire bank's lending process

was very irregular.

His old neighbor operated a small factory,

and later, to raise money,

they took out a large loan from my dad's bank

through a dual contract.

Then later this factory

went bankrupt due to poor management.

And the person in charge took the money and fled.

My dad wanted to collect the money.

But unexpectedly, that person's parents threatened him with death

and even claimed that my dad received a huge kickback from this.

They used sleeping pills to fight my dad.

But they replaced the sleeping pills with vitamins,

so they were completely unharmed.

Yet, they stayed in the hospital pretending to be sick,

and claiming that my dad was the one who started this whole thing.

At that time, the incident was known to everyone.

My dad couldn't clear his name,

and became the topic of neighborhood gossip.

Heng, terrible.

It's your dad. He's covered in blood.

Hurry back and take a look.

I don't remember how far I ran that day,

nor do I remember how long I ran.

When I ran to the hospital that day, I can only remember

how hard my mom cried and shouted.

My dad was a man with a strong sense of self-respect.

He was desperate to prove his innocence.

So, one spring evening,

he chose to jump off the building.

He chose to commit suicide to erase his grievances.

But after he died, my mom had collapsed.

For a very long period of time,

my mom was on the verge of collapse,

simply unable to live a normal life.

So, when we met on the rooftop,

it was during that period?

Yes.

I felt like the whole school was talking about me.

I should say they were looking down on me.

So during that time, I often went to the rooftop alone.

doing nothing, just sitting there and looking into the distance.

I did not know how I should proceed with my future.

Watching the sunset on the rooftop,

I felt just like the day when my dad committed suicide.

In fact, I really want this to be a dream.

I wish when I returned home after school,

my dad and mom could greet me with smiles and laughter.

And you ended up being misunderstood by me.

I thought you were going to jump off the building.

To be honest, I did have that thought at the time.

But when I thought of how devastated my mom was,

I knew I couldn't do so.

So those days when I wanted to die but couldn't

were the darkest moment of my life.

So you did save me.

And you brought a hope into my life.

So our fate began from that time.

And thanks to you.

You were the only one who cared about me at that time.

So many years have passed.

I really should say thank you.

What for? I should do so.

And I'm not at a loss either.

After all, you've given yourself to me now, haven't you?

Later on I made up my mind

working in the Internal Control Compliance Department.

It's partly because of my dad.

I hope to work even harder,

to make the process of the whole industry

more standardized and transparent.

Even if I can only make a small contribution,

it might have prevented a family tragedy.

So since high school,

you had already made this decision?

But I feel it's such a pity

that Dad didn't get to see me enter the banking system,

nor did he see me move from internal control to the business.

And he never got to see his daughter-in-law with his own eyes.

This is really adorable.

Yes, we should put it in the room.

It is quite adorable.

I have a place I can take you to.

- Okay. - Let's go.

[Clay sculpture shop]

[Wings]

Try tapping it a bit.

So you really do know how to do it.

I thought you were just saying.

I used to do this a lot in junior high school.

It was tiring to study at that time.

So I used this to relieve stress.

But I pretty much stopped doing it when I got to college.

So that dream girl doll was made by him personally.

Nice.

Actually, our town

is famous for its handicrafts.

Glass, clay modeling, rattan weaving.

The owner of this shop is my aunt.

My mom used to bring me here when I was little.

Then why did you go work at a bank?

Isn't it a waste of such good craftsmanship?

If you get the cultivation,

you might become an artist.

What are you saying?

So what have you decided to make?

I've decided to make a big family portrait.

Featuring my dad, my mom, your dad, your mom,

and the two of us.

Not one less.

Humans aren't easy to make.

And you have to make six at once.

If you can do it, why can't I?

I can do it. Don't mind me.

You'll do yours, and I'll do mine.

Don't disturb me.

Then I'll leave you to it.

Go away.

How's it going?

It's done. Take a look.

Not bad.

Of course.

Thank you, Auntie.

You're welcome.

Take it home and set it up somewhere you can't reach it.

Avoid direct sunlight.

Okay.

From now on, this is also your hometown.

When you have the time, come back with your mother-in-law and stroll around.

Over the years, the young people have all left one by one,

leaving only us old folks here.

Right, auntie.

Where do the brothers who make glass go?

They really soared last year,

so they started a company in the city,

specializing in home decor floor-to-ceiling glass.

I heard from their parents

that the two brothers plan to double the size of their company this year,

to expand their business.

Expand their business?

Auntie, could you give me their phone number?

He needs money to expand their business.

If he needs to take out a loan, he can come to me.

You really know how to seize the opportunity.

It's professional sensitivity.

It's okay.

We're folks from the same town.

I'll send you the number later.

Thank you, auntie.

You are really polite.

Paying money.

I don't want money.

It's rare that Heng comes back.

I can't take his money.

Heng, bring your mom back more often in the future,

giving us more chance to chat.

Alright, no problem.

Then thank you, auntie.

- Not at all. - Okay.

Well then, we're leaving. Goodbye, auntie.

Goodbye, auntie.

Xiaoning is skillful with her hands. It's so pretty.

Mom, you don't know

Xiaoning is not only skillful with her hands, but also very clever.

When we were making this,

she was still thinking to develop a client.

Don't make fun of me in front of mom.

No worries. I'm just sitting here,

watching the sunset, feeling the evening breeze,

and listening to you guys chatting and joking, I'm so happy.

Mom, when we have time, let's go on a road trip up north

to the great prairie. You'll definitely like it

Sounds good.

Once I am getting better,

let's invite your dad and mom.

Our whole family will go on a road trip.

Maybe I should learn to drive.

Can I still learn at my age now?

Of course, you can, mom.

Then I'll accompany you in practicing driving, mom.

Okay.

By the way, mom. Yuheng has to go on a business trip tomorrow,

lasting for two to three days, to sign a contract.

When he comes back,

we will help you discharge from the hospital.

You can go home then.

Great!

[A Person's Memory]

What about yours? Let me see.

It's a pity for you to be in the banking industry.

If you get the cultivation,

you might become an artist.

See how's my work.

Beautiful.

This red umbrella.

Puling? Isn't this from my dad's company?

I remember you have one too.

Maybe this one is that one.

Isn't this just a giveaway umbrella?

Why do you like it so much?

This is the umbrella the first time when I picked you up from work.

Don't you remember it?

I do, of course.
