=Episode 25=

Are you sure there's no traffic?

Not even a little bit?

Welcome back.

Mdm. Wang.

Your daughter's back?

Yes.

And is that a new son?

Of course.

Are these all your mother's friends?

Don't ask.

It's just my mom's social etiquette.

She'll chat with anyone like they're family.

You two hurry up and head home.

I'll make you a hearty feast.

All right.

Mom, isn't this too much Sichuan pepper?

Don't add too much.

It's not too much.

All right.

Can I add the eggs?

Not yet. Wait a bit longer.

It still needs to simmer.

Look, the water's almost gone.

It needs to thicken.

Am I good or what?

Are you teaching me to cook?

No, just offering a tiny suggestion.

Get out.

All right.

But I won't.

Get out.

Out, out, out.

All right...

What are you looking at?

I'm looking at your childhood photos,

but I don't see your dad.

My dad?

There's not much to see.

My parents divorced when I was very young.

My dad remarried in no time and had another child.

All these years,

he hasn't paid a cent in child support.

But strangely enough,

whenever he gets drunk,

he calls my mom

to blame her

for not taking good care

of me.

I don't know how he manages

to climb up onto that moral high ground.

Clearly, he's long forgotten about me.

What's the matter?

Feeling sorry for me?

Don't.

Having just my mom is enough for me.

Did you put something in your hair?

Oyster sauce.

If you want to go to the kitchen,

my mom definitely won't kick you out.

You seem to have some trouble expressing your feelings too.

You clearly love your mom

but always speak to her in a sarcastic way.

My mom and I have a mutual understanding.

I got hit more by her when I was a kid

than you've eaten meals.

Feather dusters,

billiard cues,

mop handles,

you name it.

If she could swing it, she wouldn't talk.

Time to eat.

Come help set up the table.

Is it ready yet, Mom?

Set the table first.

Set the table.

Where's the table?

Behind the door.

I'll get the utensils.

Come, come.

Try my cooking.

Just a few home-cooked dishes. Don't be picky.

Our little family of three will have a little drink together.

Our family of three?

Three of us, right?

Don't you know how to count?

Mom, I just got back, and you're already drinking?

Not going to watch your health?

At my age, being happy is watching my health.

My son-in-law is here.

How can I not have a drink?

Here.

Don't look at her.

Drink up.

That's it?

Right.

Who are you fooling?

Bottoms up.

Bottoms up?

Hold on.

Aren't you going to say a few words?

Say...

Say what, ma'am?

Anything.

I'll love whatever you say.

When I'm stressed, I sleepwalk.

I think I inherited it from my dad.

When he was a prison guard,

he'd sleepwalk

and chase escapees.

Scared me half to death as a kid.

My mom couldn't move well,

so,

she bought an aluminum basin and put it by the bed.

Whenever my dad sleepwalked,

she'd bang the basin.

One bang was deafening.

Now I get

why you chose Gu Yi.

You and your dad are both masochists.

What do you mean by that, Mom?

It's fine.

I'll let you torture me.

Shut up.

See?

This kind of chat is nice.

In life,

it's just the little things.

You can't always have serious matters

to talk about.

Trivial matters are what bring you

closer to each other.

Liang,

you should learn from Gu Yi.

Look at her.

So chatty.

Talking at home isn't enough

for her.

She has to go out to do stand-up.

If you two combined,

you'd be perfect.

Mom, there's a difference between being chatty and telling jokes,

okay?

And what I say isn't just chatter.

It's called

sharing.

All right.

Sharing.

Then share more with Liang.

Hurry and eat.

After dinner, clean out your room so he can stay there.

My room? Then where will I stay?

I'm not sharing with him.

Dream on.

You're staying with me.

Here.

You're drinking more?

Eat.

Try my cooking.

It's delicious.

Is it? Let me try.

I got some chili too.

Spicy!

Drink some spirit to wash it down.

Here.

Cheers.

To happy days!

You scared me!

What are you looking at?

Never seen me work before?

For someone so good at cleaning,

how's your rental so messy?

Say one more thing, and I'll kick you out.

Liang.

Here's a razor I bought for you.

Original import, only 299.

If it's more than 35,

I'll refund you 299.

35 wouldn't even cover shipping.

It's definitely an original import.

Use it.

299.

Thanks, Mdm. Wang.

It's definitely not more than 35.

Trust me.

My mom's like that.

She's known as the Northeast Bargain Queen.

Doesn't matter if they want to sell or not,

she goes in for the kill.

Whether it's 300 or 500,

she slashes it to 30 or 50.

Then she runs off.

If one way doesn't work,

she'll try another.

But you know,

this tactic actually works.

It's just something cheap.

You don't have to use it if you don't like it.

I'll use it.

Thank you.

And thank Mdm. Wang too.

Were you celebrating a birthday in this photo?

This one's staged.

In my last year of elementary school,

I told my mom I wanted to go camping.

That old lady found a park

to make do for me.

It probably wasn't to make do.

Maybe she didn't know

what real camping was,

so she did her best

within her abilities.

She picked the prettiest park

and dressed you in your nicest clothes.

Look.

She's so happy in this picture.

Liang Daiwen,

your tone just now sounded

a lot like my mom's best friend.

Gu Yi,

let's take your mom camping.

The scenery is beautiful here.

Let me post this on social media.

What do you think, Mom?

Not bad, right?

How could it not be?

You practically moved the whole house out here.

When I was little, you took me to a park to make do as camping.

Didn't expect this field near our house to be so nice.

Mdm. Wang,

is there anything else we need?

I don't think so.

Oh, wait.

Gu Yi,

go home and grab some fruit.

Go.

Run.

Yes!

Gu Yi,

how many times have you tripped on flat ground?

Maybe you should

get your cerebellum checked.

She ought to check more than that.

When she gets her marriage checkup, it should be comprehensive.

Mom!

Even in a blended family, there's a hierarchy!

Are you my mom or his?

She's our mom.

Shut up.

Stop watching.

Gu Yi is bathing and scrubbing herself.

It'll take two hours.

Mdm. Wang,

should I go pick her up?

Chase too closely, and she'll slip away.

Come here.

Sit with me.

Let's talk about something serious.

Get a pen and paper.

Okay.

Let's talk about Gu Yi.

Go ahead.

She doesn't like cilantro.

She loves meat.

Since she was a kid, she's been afraid of sharp-beaked animals.

Seeing Chicken heads and duck heads,

she'd jump ten feet in the air at the sight of them.

Actually,

she's not that picky.

She likes everything on the table over there.

And,

Gu Yi has always had a bit of a weak constitution.

She's allergic to dust mites

and has rhinitis.

Whenever she gets a fever, she breaks out in a rash.

Try to avoid anti-inflammatory medicine.

She has a chronic allergy to penicillin.

If she ever gets pregnant

and the doctor asks,

you should know these things.

Got it.

Oh, one more thing.

Gu Yi gets

really bad cramps

on the first day of her period.

You'll need to have

a heating pad

and

ginger tea ready.

If possible...

Understand?

That's all I can think of

for now.

I'll tell you more if I remember anything else.

Okay.

All right then.

Now, let's talk about your family.

My family?

You silly boy.

You know Gu Yi inside out now,

but

I don't even know what my future in-laws do.

My dad is a prison guard who turned into an engineer.

My mom...

When she was around, she was an accountant.

After she passed,

my dad remarried soon after.

We've never been close over the years.

The last time I saw him

was when he had a stroke.

I rushed back to Dalian.

After he was out of danger,

I stayed with him in the hospital.

Out of nowhere,

he told me that he missed my mom.

Mdm. Wang,

humans are weird.

Did your mother pass away

from illness too?

She had a thoracic spinal cord lesion

that caused paralysis.

Then, a tumor worsened her condition.

Her treatment was excruciating.

When no one was around,

she took her own life with medication.

Before she took her life, she showed clear signs of depression.

But I was too young to notice

at the time.

No mother

willingly leaves her child

unless she's at her wit's end.

It's not your fault,

nor your mother's.

I understand.

I don't blame her.

I just...

I just need more time to understand.

I understand.

I'm a mother too.

Gu Yi has been through

a lot with me.

When she was in elementary school,

I divorced her father.

Then, soon after, I lost my job.

I struggled to find work while raising her.

I sold cold noodles, boxed lunches, and cassette tapes,

and took up odd jobs.

There was nothing I wouldn't do.

It was tough.

I learned something

through a lifetime of hardship.

For us,

nothing is a big deal

except death.

Your mom never imagined

she'd leave you in that way.

Those who are gone are gone.

The ones left behind have to keep living,

and live well,

right?

You and Gu Yi are both good kids.

But it's not easy to stay together

for a lifetime.

Love alone

isn't nearly enough.

You need to take care of yourselves first,

to be able to support each other.

Right?

Why are you looking at me like that?

Nothing.

You're sneaking a drink.

I'm being filial.

If I drink her liquor, she won't have any left.

Why can't you learn something good from my mom?

No more drinking.

How long

are you planning to stay here?

Being idle while just starting a business

doesn't seem right.

I'm the boss.

Shut up.

Running on love alone has no meaning.

Your accomplishments were achieved under Nextmonday.

The traffic belongs to the brand.

You haven't personally gained much in terms of resources.

The media industry's salary cap is high.

If your income drops,

so does your perspective.

To gain independent control over content creation,

talent alone isn't enough.

You need to create innovative business value

to be indispensable.

Why are you telling me all this

out of the blue?

When you missed your last promotion,

I wanted to tell you this.

But back then,

I didn't know how to put it into words.

Liang Daiwen,

how did my mom manage to flip

that "communication switch" of yours on?

I'm not sure either.

I took the Toronto Dyslexia Scale.

My data only reached 20% of a normal person's level.

So I find it hard to understand a lot of things.

These past years,

drawing has been my only way of expressing myself.

But you and your mom are different.

You make me feel

that language

is simpler than composition.

Even though

my vocabulary is limited

and I often say the wrong things,

you still listen carefully

and respond thoughtfully.

This kind of interaction, where you lower yourself to my level,

makes me feel safe.

It's like

being back in kindergarten.

You're a fast learner, huh?

Before, you wouldn't say a single word more than necessary,

but now,

you're coming up with a whole essay.

Gu Yi,

in my eyes, you shine.

You have a unique spirit

and great ideas,

but you've been suppressed and become too cautious.

Don't be afraid.

Take the risk if you want to.

I'll be by your side.

You're going to kiss and just leave?

Then what do you want?

This time, you're the one who isn't being honest.

You have two options.

First,

be my girlfriend.

The second one.

I pick the second option.

Second,

let me kiss you back.

All right, Ms. Gu Yi.

From now on, this is your place.

Get started.

Get started with what?

What do you mean, "with what"?

Property transfer.

Did you think you could just move in?

Shouldn't you be checking the water, electricity, gas,

valves, and solar panels?

And that's not all.

The bathroom faucet is broken.

Better get that fixed.

You saved a whole list of repairs for me?

I just got back, and I'm already being put to work.

All I'm asking is for you to fix things, not build a house.

Is it that hard?

I used to handle all of this.

Now it's your turn.

What are you looking at?

Hurry up and fix it.

And then you still need to make us dinner.

Get going.

Okay.

Mdm. Wang,

I'll go help her.

It's just a faucet.

She's not going to flood the place.

Gu Yi almost set my place on fire last time.

Heat up the oil

and fry until 70% cooked.

Pour some oil for me.

What are you waiting for?

Waiting for me to call out, "Action!"?

I'm waiting for you to turn on the stove.

I'm waiting for you to pour the oil so I can turn on the stove.

I'm waiting for you to turn on the stove so I can pour the oil.

That's enough. Get out of the kitchen.

I'll starve if I have to wait for you two to cook.

Get out of here.

What are you staring at? Get out.

Fine, I'm going to rest.

You get out too.

Let me help you.

Forget it.

If you really want to stay,

then talk to me.

Well?

Made any progress?

A little.

What are you waiting for, then?

Strike while the iron is hot.

Ever heard of "the slow bird flies first"?

"The slow bird flies first"?

(365 steps)

(416 steps)

(580 steps)

(686 steps)

(723 steps)

What on earth

are you two doing?

One of you not sleeping

and the other acting like a ghost sleepwalking.

My back hurt, so I came out to sit for a bit.

How was I supposed to know he'd be sleepwalking?

Liang Daiwen,

you...

Don't try to give me puppy eyes.

If you make a ruckus in the middle of night again,

I'll get the aluminum basin

and knock you out.

You pretended to sleepwalk

just to get her attention?

Mdm. Wang,

you told me that the slow bird had to fly first

this afternoon.

You are dumb.

No need.

I can do it myself.

I just want to stay by your side.

I used

to let you down,

but now,

I'm trying to open up.

Why are you so cold?

What are you trying to do now?

Cycle?

you're not emotionless.

You just don't have a brainstem.

Mom,

is it really okay for us to just come in like this?

What's there to worry about? Mr. He has already arranged everything.

Young people these days

don't appreciate Errenzhuan anymore.

Back in the day when I performed in red opera,

tickets were in high demand.

Liang,

ever watched Errenzhuan?

I...

don't really remember.

All right.

Today, you two have a private show all to yourselves.

Come on.

Play the music.

I'll perform for you two.

Okay.

What are you doing?

Balancing the accounts?

Although I trust Mr. He's character,

if you want a prenuptial agreement,

I'm all for it.

What are you talking about?

All this is for you.

This is all I've got in this life.

A house and two savings accounts.

All for you.

Why are you giving it to me?

Keep it for yourself.

Consider it part of your dowry.

Do I even need a dowry?

Mr. He's already getting a deal by marrying me.

It's you who need it.

If it can be used as a dowry, great.

If not,

it'll be break-up compensation.

If anyone dares to bully us,

we've got the money

to make them go away.

I don't need any "break-up compensation."

Can we not act like we're splitting assets?

I'm not even married, and you're already planning on abandoning me.

Do I even need to?

Your heart's already with Liang Daiwen, isn't it?

Me? No way!

You're one to talk.

You're so good to him.

You're almost treating him like an honorary son.

You ungrateful kid.

Why would I be good to him

if it weren't for you liking him?

I figured that if I treated him well,

he'd treat my daughter even better.

But all jokes aside,

Liang is a good boy.

He has a good character

and he's honest.

Even if he's not the sharpest,

you can't love someone

only for their strengths,

right?

Someone who's honest might seem a bit clumsy,

and someone who's reserved

might come off as cold.

No one's perfect.

Take you, for example.

Your mind may not be the sharpest,

but it's endearing.

Are you complimenting me or insulting me?

I'm lecturing you.

I worry about you.

You don't need to worry about me.

As long as you and Mr. He

live happily ever after,

I'll be content.

Gu Yi,

no matter what, remember my words.

Never simply believe anyone's promises,

and never change

your life plans for anyone.

Finding a good partner

is a blessing.

But

you also need to rely on yourself.

Only on yourself.

Whether it's Liang's good traits

or his flaws,

they're just part of who he is.

Don't think you can change him.

You can't.

It's not easy for two people

to come together.

Cherish it.

Getting along takes time and effort.

If you can make it work, great.

If not,

don't compromise.

Take care of yourself above all.

Mom,

it's weird hearing you talk like this.

Well...

What's weird about what I said?

What's wrong?

Did you have a fight with Mr. He?

What would we have to fight about?

He's even planning to go

to Donghai with us tomorrow.

What?

Aren't you two getting your marriage certificate?

Then why did I come all this way back?
