Episode 6
I'm not silly.
I know it wasn't my fault.
Then why are you so upset?
It was not you who fell over.
She's still a kid after all.
And she had a fracture.
These days,
Ling Xiao has been frequenting the hospital
as soon as school was over
and even stayed there.
I haven't seen him for days.
He must be so upset.
Right.
He has to face
her thick-skinned mom
and annoying sister all day long.
How could he be happy?
So,
I got him into trouble.
It was my fault.
Do you think if Qin Meiyang didn't fall and have a fracture,
the three generations of women including his grandma
wouldn't annoy him?
Well.
Anyway, they'll go back soon.
And our world
will be peaceful again.
Hey.
If you keep gazing like this, you'll become
a stone gazing out for your husband.
Heat the dishes.
Ling Xiao,
you are back.
You are tired, right?
Did you have supper?
You must be very hungry.
There is sweet potato rice
and half a bowl of braised pork in brown sauce in the pot.
I'm telling you.
Today's braised pork
was perfectly stewed.
If I didn't keep half a bowl of it for you,
Ziqiu would have eaten it up.
I'm not hungry.
I'm going upstairs, take a shower, and go to bed.
Little Spring, you should wash your hair.
Ling Xiao,
I didn't expect that to happen.
Don't think too much.
I'm on your side.
I'm hungry now.
Didn't you keep
braised pork in brown sauce for me?
Yes.
Let's go and eat braised pork in brown sauce.
I can have another portion with you.
Your breakfast.
Why did you go so far to buy it?
You love it, don't you?
As Dad said,
eat something good
and cheer up.
During this period of time,
Ling Xiao
comes to the hospital every evening.
He goes to school in the daytime
and comes here to accompany his sister.
As a mother, you are at leisure.
But Ling Xiao is in the third year at high school.
I know.
Don't worry.
Ling Xiao has no problem with his studies.
Actually, I'm not willing to let that happen,
but,
you know,
when Ling Xiao attends classes in the daytime,
Chengzi can't see him.
In the evening,
if she can't see Ling Xiao again,
she would make a tearful scene.
I can do nothing about it.
You are spoiling her.
I think,
you haven't lived together for long,
so you have no feelings.
You only gave birth to Chengzi?
How could you say that?
Didn't I do this
as you said?
You asked me
to use Chengzi to ease
the tension between Ling Xiao and me.
I didn't ask you
to let Ling Xiao
come to accompany Chengzi at night.
Look at your son's dark circles under his eyes.
No matter what I do,
you think it is wrong.
Then do something right
and let me see.
When you boast about
your rich son-in-law,
when you sit in the Benz，
and when he gives you money,
you think
I'm always right.
You know,
except that,
what else can I praise you about?
Others' daughters
can take care of their parents by their side.
But you
married to a place so far away.
When I'm sick,
in addition to sending me some money,
what else can you do?
Do I really need
the money you send me?
In my life,
I can't expect you to look after me.
Why are you here so late?
I was busy in my restaurant, so I'm late.
Well.
Where is Chengzi?
She is playing in the next ward.
Actually, you don't need to
bring meals here every day.
It is convenient to eat nearby.
It is convenient.
But the food outside is not clean.
Right. It is not clean.
And it is convenient for me to come here.
Besides, there will be no need soon.
Right?
When will she be discharged from hospital?
Tomorrow.
So you don't need to bring food here anymore.
She'll be discharged from hospital tomorrow.
Good. Good.
OK. I won't disturb you.
I, I've got to go.
Wait. Wait.
I happen to
I
will go back to Singapore next month.
This money is for you.
Don't think it's too little.
No need. No need.
You don't need to give me money.
Here's the thing.
Listen to me.
I haven't stayed with Ling Xiao
for so long.
Because you've been taking care of him,
he has become so excellent.
I've always wanted to thank you,
but
I don't know how to express my thanks.
So, I feel
I must do something.
Besides, in the days to come,
I'll still have to bother you to take care of him, right?
Take it.
I said no need. No need.
I'm telling you.
In my heart,
I raise Ling Xiao as my own son.
Rest assured.
Without the money, I can still
take good care of him.
I've got to go.
See?
He raises the child of our family
as his own son.
What did I tell you back then?
You could divorce.
But if you didn't want the child to go with you,
you would regret it sooner or later.
Ask Chengzi to come back for dinner.
Go!
Come back during school holidays.
The plane is taking off soon. It is taking off.
Good girl.
Let's go.
Finally, the two people
are leaving.
Slow down. Slow down.
Like a breeze
Be careful. Be careful.
with words to say
Slow down.
I suddenly
realize that
those seemingly insignificant days are full of love
Realize, realize
that I can have all the happiness
As natural as the breeze
By your side
Like a breeze
whispering softly
Let's go.
I suddenly
realize that
those seemingly insignificant days are full of love
Realize, realize
that at the trivial moments
warmth is hidden in the details
Sometimes
Everything
Like a breeze
with words to say
I suddenly
realize that
I like it more than I can imagine
Realize, realize
that everything around me
is love
I want to have spicy strips.
In a few days,
if you have your teeth which are always inflamed
pulled out,
I'll buy you spicy strips.
I'd better not eat them.
Life is boring.
Didn't Qi Mingyue say
she would come to play?
In the final exam,
she got the third place.
Her mom said she fell behind,
so, she signed up for a cram school for her.
This holiday is so boring.
Hello?
This is Li Jianjian speaking.
You are a cheater, right?
Go to hell, cheater!
What cheater?
I was told that I won an award in the wood carving competition.
When did I
take part in the competition?
Cheaters don't investigate before they cheat people.
Again?
I'll curse you.
Let me answer the phone.
Dis him.
Hello?
Yes, this is Li Jianjian's home.
Right?
I sent the work there.
I'm her brother.
She doesn't know.
Thank you.
OK. OK.
OK. OK.
Take it away.
You are too short.
Hold her tightly.
Look. Look.
How is it?
It is exactly right.
Then I'll paste it.
An Auspicious Year of Tiger
Let me see. Let me see.
Look. This is askew.
Well.
Jianjian,
what award did you won?
Mrs. Qian, I,
I won
a gold award.
If you come to have noodles, we'll give you a 20% discount.
OK. OK.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Jianjian, go and answer the phone.
Look at Shao Feng
Hello?
Does he look like a small potato?
Happy Spring Festival!
I was just about to call
to wish Uncle and Aunt
a happy Spring Festival.
OK. OK.
Hello, Aunt. Happy Spring Festival!
I don't know.
Dad.
Yes?
Aunt asked
whether we'll going to hometown on the third day of Lunar New Year.
Well. Let me talk to her.
Wait a moment. My dad is going to talk.
Hello.
Happy Spring Festival!
Here's the thing. We plan to go back on the third day of Lunar New Year.
Call your grandma
to wish her a happy Spring Festival.
Otherwise, she'll blame you again.
I called.
You, call Aunt He Lan.
I called too.
Good.
OK. OK.
Happy Spring Festival!
Qi Mingyue.
Hello, Mingyue.
Happy Spring Festival!
Where are you?
Phuket Island？
Fantastic!
I haven't been out of our province yet.
It is raining there?
Is it cold there?
She asked whether it is cold in Phuket Island.
Well. I haven't been there before.
OK. OK. Go to eat.
OK. OK. You want to talk to Ziqiu, right?
OK.
Hello. What is it?
OK. Thank you.
Happy Spring Festival to you too.
Do you want to talk to Ling Xiao?
OK. Bye.
Happy Spring Festival, she said.
Happy Spring Festival!
She hung up. No need to say that.
Dad,
I want a cellphone.
Why do you want it?
Your teachers don't allow you
to take it to school.
They both have a cellphone, so I want to have one too.
No.
Yes.
No.
Buy one for me.
We are celebrating the Spring Festival.
Don't make her unhappy.
I'll buy you a cellphone.
Buy the latest style.
Mr. Ling,
you are my own dad.
Here's to you.
You are spoiling her.
She is a girl
who should be spoiled.
We just can't spoil
these boys.
Boys.
Happy Spring Festival!
Fight?
Got it. I'll be there soon.
The family reunion dinner is spoiled.
The husbands of three sisters had a fought.
One man was seriously injured
by a wine bottle.
There are not enough people on duty,
so I have to go there.
Go. Go.
You guys continue to eat.
I'll be back after handling the case.
It doesn't matter. We'll keep the dishes for you.
Come back early.
Wait for me to come back and make dumplings.
OK.
He hasn't had a meal on time.
Li Jianjian, look.
There comes something that will make you laugh.
That's something will make Ling Xiao laugh.
Am I right?
You loved to eat it, didn't you?
The jokes are too funny.
In the new semester,
you'll have a new classmate in our class.
Come in.
OK.
Let the new classmate
introduce herself.
Come on.
Hello, everybody. My name is Tang Can.
I'm glad
to be your classmate.
Last year, because of acting in films,
I failed to go up to the next year.
In the future, due to my work,
I may delay my schoolwork.
I hope you can help me
with my studies.
Thank you all.
Are you the heroine of
the chocolate popsicle commercial？
Exactly.
I'll treat you to it.
Great!
Tang Can,
sit there.,
behind the monitor of our class.
OK.
Qi Mingyue,
take care of the new classmate.
OK.
The new semester begins.
So, concentrate on your studies.
Next week,
you'll take
an assessment test,
which is about your holiday assignments.
Get ready for it.
Hello.
My name is Qi Mingyue.
If you have any question,
you can come to me.
OK. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Open your textbook and turn to page 3.
Lesson One, Moonlight over the Lotus Pond.
Bye-bye.
Tang Can, bye.
Bye.
Bye, Tang Can.
Tang Can, your
Mingyue.
Let's go.
Tang Can's bus card dropped.
I'm going to give it to her.
Tang Can, your
I think she's a racewalker.
She must be in such a hurry to do something.
She is so fast.
In addition to the sweet milk,
there are crisp nuts with chocolate.
Do you want to have a try?
Mm. So crisp.
Have you tasted the sweet food today?
Do you remember
the commercial often broadcasted during the summer holiday?
Do you remember it?
I've watched the commercial before,
but I didn't pay attention to
the girl.
Have you watched it before?
I seldom watch TV.
Anyway, this girl
just transferred to our class today.
When she just arrived,
she was like Miss Universe.
But after school was over,
she went outside the school
and changed her clothes.
She was very affected.
She sits behind me.
What should I do in the future?
What are you worrying about?
We got the goods
on her.
She should worry.
It's easy to say that.
It's nothing. I'll protect you.
Ling Xiao,
Ziqiu,
go and get the noodles for yourselves.
OK.
Mingyue.
Here are the beef noodles for you.
I've added chili.
If it is not enough, you can add by yourself.
Thank you, Mr. Li.
This is for you.
Thank you, Mr. Li.
You came suddenly,
so I didn't have time
to cook good food for you.
Come to my home next.
OK.
I'll cook tasty food for you.
OK.
Give that to me.
Enjoy it.
Thank you, Mr. Li.
What noodles are you having?
Noodles with sweet and sour spare ribs.
Others don't have the luck to enjoy them,
because only
the three of us love them.
They taste sweet. Do you want to have a taste?
No, no. I love spicy food.
Here you are.
It feels so good.
I want to have a brother too.
Pick one. I'll give him to you
for free.
I don't want to have either of them as my brother.
Why?
Didn't you praise
Ziqiu by saying that he looks so cool when he plays basketball?
I didn't.
You don't think I'm cool?
I,
I didn't say that.
You said that.
No.
It bothers me to talk to you girls.
You beat around the bush and I don't understand what you are talking about.
You are too stupid,
so you don't understand.
Oh?
You understand? You are experienced?
Since childhood, the only girl
you have talked to with more than 100 words
is Li Jianjian, right?
I'm Ling Xiao's whole world.
No.
I've talked to Qi Mingyue
with more than 100 words too.
That's true.
You are awesome.
You can enter a fairy's world.
Students who lag behind, come on!
You'll cross the finishing line soon.
Come on. Come on.
Swing your arms.
Swing your arms slowly.
Hurry. Sprint. Come on.
The last
Don't sit. Get up.
Get up. Get up.
Get up and relax. Come on.
Come on. Get up. Get up.
Come on.
Get up. Get up. Don't sit.
Let's go. Let's go.
Walk. Walk.
Relax. Relax.
Those who lag behind, come on.
Come on. Walk.
Look over there.
Tang Can joined
the group of girls who don't run for four times a month.
Don't point at her. She saw us.
She is staring at me.
Forget it. Forget it.
Forget it.
Let's go. Let's go.
Ziqiu is playing basketball.
Let's go and watch him play basketball.
Let's go. Let's go.
Ziqiu. Ziqiu.
Wait a moment. Wait a moment.
Water.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
He Ziqiu.
I
It's me.
I'm your dad.
I'm your dad!
You are crazy.
Is He Mei your mom's name?
I'm
Zhao Huaguang.
Your mom mentioned me to you, didn't she?
No.
I don't live with her.
I know.
When you were very little,
your mom abandoned you
and left.
She went away
with the money your foster father gave her.
Your mom
despises the poor and curries favor with the rich.
Back then. she divorced me
because I was poor.
Just why do you come to me?
If there's nothing, I've got to go.
I'm you dad.
I know.
When my grandma was alive,
she scolded you every day.
So just what do you want to do?
I
I
I want to see you.
If you want to see what I look like,
you've seen.
I've got to go.
Don't come to see me again.
OK?
I have nothing to do with you.
Ziqiu,
back then, your mom divorced me.
If your grandma didn't come to me,
I didn't know that your mom gave birth to you.
I was too poor,
and everybody looked down upon me.
It's not that I didn't want to raise you, my child.
I couldn't afford to raise you.
I didn't have the conditions.
If I had money back then,
could I let you
depend on another man
for a living?
Child,
I can imagine
life is too hard for you.
What do you want to talk about?
Can't you see
I have a good life now?
I'll tell you this once again.
I have nothing to do with you.
Don't say words
to move yourself, OK?
Ziqiu,
let me finish what I want to say.
Your foster father
is running a noodles restaurant, right?
If you continue to live with him,
you won't get the best education,
or have a good future.
I come to see you
not to ask you to recognize me.
I didn't mean to do that.
But I should be responsible for
your future.
You know? Ziqiu.
I live abroad now.
Go abroad with me.
You can go to
the best university.
I've never thought of
studying abroad.
Let go of me!
Ziqiu,
why haven't you thought of that?
Because you didn't have the conditions.
But now you have the conditions.
You should think about it.
Are you crazy?
Ziqiu. Ziqiu. Ziqiu.
I'm telling you. A girl
transferred to our class
and she joined
the group of girls who don't run for four times a month.
What group?
Ziqiu,
why are you behind us? Come on.
Come on.
What's wrong with you? You are not happy today.
He didn't do well in his exam.
You look down upon me.
I got 610 points.
I got 700 points.
Shut up.
How could you compare your score in the science class with my score in the arts class?
You must be joking.
What is your score? What are you laughing about?
Don't mention it.
Such a thing is not worth mentioning.
Dad, we're back.
We are back.
OK.
What occasion is it today? There are so many dishes.
High school students, you are back.
-Aunt He Lan.
-Aunt He Lan.
Aunt He Lan, why are you here?
I come to the city
to buy some drugs for ducks
and send
some goods from the mountain to you by the way.
At my home,
we've dried a dozen jin of Chinese torreya nuts.
You feel tired after studying hard, right?
They can nourish your brains.
-Thank you, Aunt He Lan.
-Thank you, Aunt He Lan.
-Thank you, Aunt He Lan.
-You're welcome.
Make way for me.
Look what I made.
Bamboo shoot soup with fresh and pickled streaky pork.
It smells good, right?
Your uncle dug the bamboo shoots
in the mountain.
They are free.
We got them from the mountain.
Aunt He Lan.
Yes?
I want to go to your home to play during the summer holiday.
I want to pick wild fruit.
Welcome.
Ask Ziqiu
to take you to
find hares' hole.
That's funny.
OK. OK.
We'll go there during the summer holiday.
OK. OK.
Let's eat. I'm starving.
Ziqiu.
Yes?
You sleep with Ling Xiao tonight.
It's too late. Your aunt will stay.
Oh. OK.
No. I can sleep on the sofa.
Don't affect them.
It doesn't matter.
Thank you, Dad.
Eat. Eat.
Let's eat.
Have a shrimp.
OK. OK.
Is your dad calling?
No.
Chengzi called.
That annoying girl.
She calls a lot of times every day,
which is really annoying.
Her family is rich,
so she dares to do that.
Have some soup.
You have it.
I can have three bowls of rice.
Eat more.
Ziqiu, you haven't gone to bed?
I'll take part in the National College Entrance Examination soon.
I want to take a few books
upstairs to review.
Right.
After studying hard for these few months
and being admitted to a university, you'll be relaxed.
Yes.
OK.
Aunt He Lan, I'm going upstairs.
OK.
Go to bed early.
Don't study too late.
Aunt He Lan,
I want to ask you something.
What is it?
Aunt He Lan, take a seat.
OK.
What do you want to ask?
Well.
Do you still remember
Zhao Huaguang?
Why do you think of him suddenly?
During the physical examination at school,
we were asked whether we have any family genetic disease.
I haven't heard about that.
Zhao Huaguang's dad
is over 70 years old now,
but he still works in the field.
I heard that
he is prosperous now.
He has made a lot of money by doing business.
He lives abroad now.
He almost becomes a foreigner.
There is just one mountain
between their hometown and ours.
It was particularly poor.
There was one path leading to their village.
Even cars couldn't enter.
But I heard that a few years ago,
he spent some money
on building a bridge and a road for their village.
Now,
even trucks carrying vegetables
can get into the village.
You know.
He couldn't even support his wife
and child before.
But now he is rich
and has become a benefactor.
He is really rich.
He is not capable at all.
He is just good-looking.
A girl whose family is extraordinarily rich
fell in love with him.
Her family does coal business.
So, he followed her family
to make money through doing business.
Well.
Doesn't he have a child?
Child?
They have done too many bad things.
They have no offspring.
Anyway, I remember
Grandma always scolded him.
Right.
When your grandma
saw him for the first time,
she said that this man has a lot of artful talk
and that he's not a good man.
Forget it.
Anyway,
I haven't heard that he has any genetic disease.
How about
I ask about it for you after I go back?
No need, Aunt He Lan.
I just asked that casually.
OK.
Aunt He Lan, go to bed early.
I'm going upstairs.
Sleep early.
OK.
Don't study too late.
Are you asleep?
Yes.
You talk when you are asleep?
How about you sleep on the floor?
I don't like sleeping in the same bed
with another person.
Come to sleep on the floor.
I'll sleep in the bed.
If you want to sleep in the bed, you can go downstairs.
Why are you here?
No.
I'm afraid that you will speak ill of me.
What can we talk about you?
Anyway,
you can't have any secret
between you guys.
I must know everything.
What secret can we have
that you don't know?
There may be some secrets.
Ziqiu, you are not happy today.
But you didn't say anything about it.
Boy,
you've grown up.
I can't control you.
You begin to have your own thought.
You begin to hide something from your sister.
You are crazy.
See?
You become angry from embarrassment.
Tell me.
Just what's wrong with you?
I just feel a little,
a little uneasy.
Why?
I wonder whether
because I have such a happy life
that I'm afraid others will spoil it.
Who will spoil it?
I don't know.
With too much pressure in your studies,
you can have paranoia that others will hurt you.
I'm thinking about life. OK?
Why are you thinking about it?
Can it be thought about?
The more you think about life,
the more you can't understand.
You even know that?
Who taught you that?
In class,
I thought about life and got it.
What if we don't think about life?
Just live.
Live one day after another.
Live today and then tomorrow.
Eat, sleep, and worry about exams.
If you can't forget today's worry,
you'll have tomorrow's worry.
As long as you are alive,
live one day after another.
One day after another.
Without end.
What I said are in rhyme.
According to what you said,
I feel life is boring.
Because it is boring,
you have to live your life in an interesting way.
Young man,
when you come across something annoying,
don't be so hard on yourself.
Eat something good.
Drink something good.
Do something to make you happy.
I didn't expect Li Jianjian of our family
can come up with
so many life principles.
You are to be congratulated.
Why? You begin to admire me?
If you make less trouble,
I'll admire you more.
When did I make trouble?
Last week, the two of you
went to the internet bar to play games
and were almost caught
by the dean of studies. Did you forget that?
I was unlucky.
Will you go there again?
No, no.
I won't go to that bar.
I'll go to another one.
Li Jianjian,
Ziqiu is going to take part in the National College Entrance Examination.
Can you be good?
Well. Well. I got it.
You are annoying.
Ziqiu, are you asleep?
Yes.
Stop talking. Sleep.
Ling Xiao, I can't sleep.
Count sheep.
One sheep, two sheep,
three, four, five sheep.
Six sheep.
Seven sheep.
Eight, nine, ten sheep.
Ziqiu, why are you behind us?
Come on.
Come on.
The third place.
My mom is going to scold me again.
I'm in the third place too.
I'm in the third place, if we count backwards.
I'm the last but two now!
I made progress.
I'm telling you.
My results are stable.
I was always the last but one.
Let me see who did worse than me.
The big star.
She is crying.
Tang Can, don't cry.
She is affected.
As the last but two,
what are you proud of?
Tang Can just transferred to this school,
and she didn't familiarize the test scope at all.
In essence, you are still the last but one.
Besides,
is there any different between the last but one
and the last but two?
Is there any difference?
Yes.
What is it?
Yes?
Yes.
Yes.
Li Jianjian
Mr. Huang.
Tang Can's mom.
Stand outside
and think about it.
Whether the answer is yes or no?
Tang Can's mom,
you came to talk to me
because of Tang Can's results, right?
Generally, students who just transfer
don't get good results.
You don't need to worry too much.
No, Mr. Huang,
I'm here to ask for leave for Tang Can.
You want to ask for leave?
Yes.
Tang Can needs to act
for a commercial.
We are leaving for Shanghai on Friday.
The shooting will begin on Friday afternoon
and it will take about three working days.
If everything goes well,
we'll be back in the morning on Tuesday
and come to school for classes
in the afternoon.
I see.
In order not to delay
Can's studies,
we've already put off
a print hard advertising film
till the next weekend.
We have
tried our best to coordinate the time.
Look.
Although art colleges
don't require high grades in the subjects,
you can't lag too much.
Right.
In this regard,
Can is particularly self-disciplined.
As long as the director says cut,
she studies aside
and never plays.
OK.
Tang Can,
come on.
In the future, perhaps
I can only see you on TV.
There are so many people for that commercial.
Perhaps there won't be
no independent shots for me.
That's not interesting.
Moreover, I got the last place,
which is very shameful.
I don't have time to study.
That's not shameful.
Didn't your teacher explain it to us?
Because you didn't know
the scope.
Mom,
I want to be an actress and act in films and dramas.
I don't want act for commercials and hard ads.
You
are lazy
and playful.
Rest assured.
As your agent,
I promise
I'll try my best
to get invitations from big directors for you.
My daughter is so excellent.
You'll surely
become a big star.
After I become a big star,
I won't act for commercials casually.
Of course.
When the time comes, a lot of people
will queue up at the gate of our home
and wait for you to act for them.
Whether you agree or not
will all depend on
your mood.
Well.
Stop here.
Go back to attend classes.
I've got to go.
Mom,
I want to
have pan-fried buns stuffed with pork this evening.
Don't eat them.
You'll act for the commercial in a few days.
Just eat some salad.
But I have had porridge and salad
for a few consecutive days.
Good girl.
Our big star
must have perseverance.
Look at your face.
It is as fat as a pan-fried bun stuffed with pork.
Don't eat buns.
Just eat some salad.
Go back.
I've got to go.
How come there is such a mom?
She is pushing her child to make money for her.
If you don't study hard, what future will you have?
There are so many Chinese people.
How many people are popular on TV?
A star dream is useless.
But she looks
really beautiful.
A beautiful appearance is not as good as a beautiful life.
Don't learn from her.
OK.
By the way,
last time I let you
invite Li Jianjian's brothers
for a dinner. Did you tell her?
Yes.
They said OK.
There is a child
who got the first place in the grade.
As parents, they must feel very proud.
Actually, as parents,
we don't
Don't wear white clothes.
You don't keep clean, but you like to wear white clothes.
If you wash clothes by yourself,
you can buy clothes in whatever color you like.
Black doesn't suit you.
You are so young,
so you should wear bright clothes.
Don't wear black clothes.
Salesclerk，
is there any other color for this?
There is grey and pink.
We want a pink one.
OK. Please wait a moment.
Hello. Look at this.
It looks good.
Come and let me see.
Do you like it?
Not too bad.
In this regard,
you are exactly alike your dad.
From eyes to the tone.
You don't have your own ideas at all.
You always say not too bad.
Is there any other style?
Episode 6
I'm not silly.
I know it wasn't my fault.
Then why are you so upset?
It was not you who fell over.
She's still a kid after all.
And she had a fracture.
These days,
Ling Xiao has been frequenting the hospital
as soon as school was over
and even stayed there.
I haven't seen him for days.
He must be so upset.
Right.
He has to face
her thick-skinned mom
and annoying sister all day long.
How could he be happy?
So,
I got him into trouble.
It was my fault.
Do you think if Qin Meiyang didn't fall and have a fracture,
the three generations of women including his grandma
wouldn't annoy him?
Well.
Anyway, they'll go back soon.
And our world
will be peaceful again.
Hey.
If you keep gazing like this, you'll become
a stone gazing out for your husband.
Heat the dishes.
Ling Xiao,
you are back.
You are tired, right?
Did you have supper?
You must be very hungry.
There is sweet potato rice
and half a bowl of braised pork in brown sauce in the pot.
I'm telling you.
Today's braised pork
was perfectly stewed.
If I didn't keep half a bowl of it for you,
Ziqiu would have eaten it up.
I'm not hungry.
I'm going upstairs, take a shower, and go to bed.
Little Spring, you should wash your hair.
Ling Xiao,
I didn't expect that to happen.
Don't think too much.
I'm on your side.
I'm hungry now.
Didn't you keep
braised pork in brown sauce for me?
Yes.
Let's go and eat braised pork in brown sauce.
I can have another portion with you.
Your breakfast.
Why did you go so far to buy it?
You love it, don't you?
As Dad said,
eat something good
and cheer up.
During this period of time,
Ling Xiao
comes to the hospital every evening.
He goes to school in the daytime
and comes here to accompany his sister.
As a mother, you are at leisure.
But Ling Xiao is in the third year at high school.
I know.
Don't worry.
Ling Xiao has no problem with his studies.
Actually, I'm not willing to let that happen,
but,
you know,
when Ling Xiao attends classes in the daytime,
Chengzi can't see him.
In the evening,
if she can't see Ling Xiao again,
she would make a tearful scene.
I can do nothing about it.
You are spoiling her.
I think,
you haven't lived together for long,
so you have no feelings.
You only gave birth to Chengzi?
How could you say that?
Didn't I do this
as you said?
You asked me
to use Chengzi to ease
the tension between Ling Xiao and me.
I didn't ask you
to let Ling Xiao
come to accompany Chengzi at night.
Look at your son's dark circles under his eyes.
No matter what I do,
you think it is wrong.
Then do something right
and let me see.
When you boast about
your rich son-in-law,
when you sit in the Benz，
and when he gives you money,
you think
I'm always right.
You know,
except that,
what else can I praise you about?
Others' daughters
can take care of their parents by their side.
But you
married to a place so far away.
When I'm sick,
in addition to sending me some money,
what else can you do?
Do I really need
the money you send me?
In my life,
I can't expect you to look after me.
Why are you here so late?
I was busy in my restaurant, so I'm late.
Well.
Where is Chengzi?
She is playing in the next ward.
Actually, you don't need to
bring meals here every day.
It is convenient to eat nearby.
It is convenient.
But the food outside is not clean.
Right. It is not clean.
And it is convenient for me to come here.
Besides, there will be no need soon.
Right?
When will she be discharged from hospital?
Tomorrow.
So you don't need to bring food here anymore.
She'll be discharged from hospital tomorrow.
Good. Good.
OK. I won't disturb you.
I, I've got to go.
Wait. Wait.
I happen to
I
will go back to Singapore next month.
This money is for you.
Don't think it's too little.
No need. No need.
You don't need to give me money.
Here's the thing.
Listen to me.
I haven't stayed with Ling Xiao
for so long.
Because you've been taking care of him,
he has become so excellent.
I've always wanted to thank you,
but
I don't know how to express my thanks.
So, I feel
I must do something.
Besides, in the days to come,
I'll still have to bother you to take care of him, right?
Take it.
I said no need. No need.
I'm telling you.
In my heart,
I raise Ling Xiao as my own son.
Rest assured.
Without the money, I can still
take good care of him.
I've got to go.
See?
He raises the child of our family
as his own son.
What did I tell you back then?
You could divorce.
But if you didn't want the child to go with you,
you would regret it sooner or later.
Ask Chengzi to come back for dinner.
Go!
Come back during school holidays.
The plane is taking off soon. It is taking off.
Good girl.
Let's go.
Finally, the two people
are leaving.
Slow down. Slow down.
Like a breeze
Be careful. Be careful.
with words to say
Slow down.
I suddenly
realize that
those seemingly insignificant days are full of love
Realize, realize
that I can have all the happiness
As natural as the breeze
By your side
Like a breeze
whispering softly
Let's go.
I suddenly
realize that
those seemingly insignificant days are full of love
Realize, realize
that at the trivial moments
warmth is hidden in the details
Sometimes
Everything
Like a breeze
with words to say
I suddenly
realize that
I like it more than I can imagine
Realize, realize
that everything around me
is love
I want to have spicy strips.
In a few days,
if you have your teeth which are always inflamed
pulled out,
I'll buy you spicy strips.
I'd better not eat them.
Life is boring.
Didn't Qi Mingyue say
she would come to play?
In the final exam,
she got the third place.
Her mom said she fell behind,
so, she signed up for a cram school for her.
This holiday is so boring.
Hello?
This is Li Jianjian speaking.
You are a cheater, right?
Go to hell, cheater!
What cheater?
I was told that I won an award in the wood carving competition.
When did I
take part in the competition?
Cheaters don't investigate before they cheat people.
Again?
I'll curse you.
Let me answer the phone.
Dis him.
Hello?
Yes, this is Li Jianjian's home.
Right?
I sent the work there.
I'm her brother.
She doesn't know.
Thank you.
OK. OK.
OK. OK.
Take it away.
You are too short.
Hold her tightly.
Look. Look.
How is it?
It is exactly right.
Then I'll paste it.
An Auspicious Year of Tiger
Let me see. Let me see.
Look. This is askew.
Well.
Jianjian,
what award did you won?
Mrs. Qian, I,
I won
a gold award.
If you come to have noodles, we'll give you a 20% discount.
OK. OK.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Jianjian, go and answer the phone.
Look at Shao Feng
Hello?
Does he look like a small potato?
Happy Spring Festival!
I was just about to call
to wish Uncle and Aunt
a happy Spring Festival.
OK. OK.
Hello, Aunt. Happy Spring Festival!
I don't know.
Dad.
Yes?
Aunt asked
whether we'll going to hometown on the third day of Lunar New Year.
Well. Let me talk to her.
Wait a moment. My dad is going to talk.
Hello.
Happy Spring Festival!
Here's the thing. We plan to go back on the third day of Lunar New Year.
Call your grandma
to wish her a happy Spring Festival.
Otherwise, she'll blame you again.
I called.
You, call Aunt He Lan.
I called too.
Good.
OK. OK.
Happy Spring Festival!
Qi Mingyue.
Hello, Mingyue.
Happy Spring Festival!
Where are you?
Phuket Island？
Fantastic!
I haven't been out of our province yet.
It is raining there?
Is it cold there?
She asked whether it is cold in Phuket Island.
Well. I haven't been there before.
OK. OK. Go to eat.
OK. OK. You want to talk to Ziqiu, right?
OK.
Hello. What is it?
OK. Thank you.
Happy Spring Festival to you too.
Do you want to talk to Ling Xiao?
OK. Bye.
Happy Spring Festival, she said.
Happy Spring Festival!
She hung up. No need to say that.
Dad,
I want a cellphone.
Why do you want it?
Your teachers don't allow you
to take it to school.
They both have a cellphone, so I want to have one too.
No.
Yes.
No.
Buy one for me.
We are celebrating the Spring Festival.
Don't make her unhappy.
I'll buy you a cellphone.
Buy the latest style.
Mr. Ling,
you are my own dad.
Here's to you.
You are spoiling her.
She is a girl
who should be spoiled.
We just can't spoil
these boys.
Boys.
Happy Spring Festival!
Fight?
Got it. I'll be there soon.
The family reunion dinner is spoiled.
The husbands of three sisters had a fought.
One man was seriously injured
by a wine bottle.
There are not enough people on duty,
so I have to go there.
Go. Go.
You guys continue to eat.
I'll be back after handling the case.
It doesn't matter. We'll keep the dishes for you.
Come back early.
Wait for me to come back and make dumplings.
OK.
He hasn't had a meal on time.
Li Jianjian, look.
There comes something that will make you laugh.
That's something will make Ling Xiao laugh.
Am I right?
You loved to eat it, didn't you?
The jokes are too funny.
In the new semester,
you'll have a new classmate in our class.
Come in.
OK.
Let the new classmate
introduce herself.
Come on.
Hello, everybody. My name is Tang Can.
I'm glad
to be your classmate.
Last year, because of acting in films,
I failed to go up to the next year.
In the future, due to my work,
I may delay my schoolwork.
I hope you can help me
with my studies.
Thank you all.
Are you the heroine of
the chocolate popsicle commercial？
Exactly.
I'll treat you to it.
Great!
Tang Can,
sit there.,
behind the monitor of our class.
OK.
Qi Mingyue,
take care of the new classmate.
OK.
The new semester begins.
So, concentrate on your studies.
Next week,
you'll take
an assessment test,
which is about your holiday assignments.
Get ready for it.
Hello.
My name is Qi Mingyue.
If you have any question,
you can come to me.
OK. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Open your textbook and turn to page 3.
Lesson One, Moonlight over the Lotus Pond.
Bye-bye.
Tang Can, bye.
Bye.
Bye, Tang Can.
Tang Can, your
Mingyue.
Let's go.
Tang Can's bus card dropped.
I'm going to give it to her.
Tang Can, your
I think she's a racewalker.
She must be in such a hurry to do something.
She is so fast.
In addition to the sweet milk,
there are crisp nuts with chocolate.
Do you want to have a try?
Mm. So crisp.
Have you tasted the sweet food today?
Do you remember
the commercial often broadcasted during the summer holiday?
Do you remember it?
I've watched the commercial before,
but I didn't pay attention to
the girl.
Have you watched it before?
I seldom watch TV.
Anyway, this girl
just transferred to our class today.
When she just arrived,
she was like Miss Universe.
But after school was over,
she went outside the school
and changed her clothes.
She was very affected.
She sits behind me.
What should I do in the future?
What are you worrying about?
We got the goods
on her.
She should worry.
It's easy to say that.
It's nothing. I'll protect you.
Ling Xiao,
Ziqiu,
go and get the noodles for yourselves.
OK.
Mingyue.
Here are the beef noodles for you.
I've added chili.
If it is not enough, you can add by yourself.
Thank you, Mr. Li.
This is for you.
Thank you, Mr. Li.
You came suddenly,
so I didn't have time
to cook good food for you.
Come to my home next.
OK.
I'll cook tasty food for you.
OK.
Give that to me.
Enjoy it.
Thank you, Mr. Li.
What noodles are you having?
Noodles with sweet and sour spare ribs.
Others don't have the luck to enjoy them,
because only
the three of us love them.
They taste sweet. Do you want to have a taste?
No, no. I love spicy food.
Here you are.
It feels so good.
I want to have a brother too.
Pick one. I'll give him to you
for free.
I don't want to have either of them as my brother.
Why?
Didn't you praise
Ziqiu by saying that he looks so cool when he plays basketball?
I didn't.
You don't think I'm cool?
I,
I didn't say that.
You said that.
No.
It bothers me to talk to you girls.
You beat around the bush and I don't understand what you are talking about.
You are too stupid,
so you don't understand.
Oh?
You understand? You are experienced?
Since childhood, the only girl
you have talked to with more than 100 words
is Li Jianjian, right?
I'm Ling Xiao's whole world.
No.
I've talked to Qi Mingyue
with more than 100 words too.
That's true.
You are awesome.
You can enter a fairy's world.
Students who lag behind, come on!
You'll cross the finishing line soon.
Come on. Come on.
Swing your arms.
Swing your arms slowly.
Hurry. Sprint. Come on.
The last
Don't sit. Get up.
Get up. Get up.
Get up and relax. Come on.
Come on. Get up. Get up.
Come on.
Get up. Get up. Don't sit.
Let's go. Let's go.
Walk. Walk.
Relax. Relax.
Those who lag behind, come on.
Come on. Walk.
Look over there.
Tang Can joined
the group of girls who don't run for four times a month.
Don't point at her. She saw us.
She is staring at me.
Forget it. Forget it.
Forget it.
Let's go. Let's go.
Ziqiu is playing basketball.
Let's go and watch him play basketball.
Let's go. Let's go.
Ziqiu. Ziqiu.
Wait a moment. Wait a moment.
Water.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
He Ziqiu.
I
It's me.
I'm your dad.
I'm your dad!
You are crazy.
Is He Mei your mom's name?
I'm
Zhao Huaguang.
Your mom mentioned me to you, didn't she?
No.
I don't live with her.
I know.
When you were very little,
your mom abandoned you
and left.
She went away
with the money your foster father gave her.
Your mom
despises the poor and curries favor with the rich.
Back then. she divorced me
because I was poor.
Just why do you come to me?
If there's nothing, I've got to go.
I'm you dad.
I know.
When my grandma was alive,
she scolded you every day.
So just what do you want to do?
I
I
I want to see you.
If you want to see what I look like,
you've seen.
I've got to go.
Don't come to see me again.
OK?
I have nothing to do with you.
Ziqiu,
back then, your mom divorced me.
If your grandma didn't come to me,
I didn't know that your mom gave birth to you.
I was too poor,
and everybody looked down upon me.
It's not that I didn't want to raise you, my child.
I couldn't afford to raise you.
I didn't have the conditions.
If I had money back then,
could I let you
depend on another man
for a living?
Child,
I can imagine
life is too hard for you.
What do you want to talk about?
Can't you see
I have a good life now?
I'll tell you this once again.
I have nothing to do with you.
Don't say words
to move yourself, OK?
Ziqiu,
let me finish what I want to say.
Your foster father
is running a noodles restaurant, right?
If you continue to live with him,
you won't get the best education,
or have a good future.
I come to see you
not to ask you to recognize me.
I didn't mean to do that.
But I should be responsible for
your future.
You know? Ziqiu.
I live abroad now.
Go abroad with me.
You can go to
the best university.
I've never thought of
studying abroad.
Let go of me!
Ziqiu,
why haven't you thought of that?
Because you didn't have the conditions.
But now you have the conditions.
You should think about it.
Are you crazy?
Ziqiu. Ziqiu. Ziqiu.
I'm telling you. A girl
transferred to our class
and she joined
the group of girls who don't run for four times a month.
What group?
Ziqiu,
why are you behind us? Come on.
Come on.
What's wrong with you? You are not happy today.
He didn't do well in his exam.
You look down upon me.
I got 610 points.
I got 700 points.
Shut up.
How could you compare your score in the science class with my score in the arts class?
You must be joking.
What is your score? What are you laughing about?
Don't mention it.
Such a thing is not worth mentioning.
Dad, we're back.
We are back.
OK.
What occasion is it today? There are so many dishes.
High school students, you are back.
-Aunt He Lan.
-Aunt He Lan.
Aunt He Lan, why are you here?
I come to the city
to buy some drugs for ducks
and send
some goods from the mountain to you by the way.
At my home,
we've dried a dozen jin of Chinese torreya nuts.
You feel tired after studying hard, right?
They can nourish your brains.
-Thank you, Aunt He Lan.
-Thank you, Aunt He Lan.
-Thank you, Aunt He Lan.
-You're welcome.
Make way for me.
Look what I made.
Bamboo shoot soup with fresh and pickled streaky pork.
It smells good, right?
Your uncle dug the bamboo shoots
in the mountain.
They are free.
We got them from the mountain.
Aunt He Lan.
Yes?
I want to go to your home to play during the summer holiday.
I want to pick wild fruit.
Welcome.
Ask Ziqiu
to take you to
find hares' hole.
That's funny.
OK. OK.
We'll go there during the summer holiday.
OK. OK.
Let's eat. I'm starving.
Ziqiu.
Yes?
You sleep with Ling Xiao tonight.
It's too late. Your aunt will stay.
Oh. OK.
No. I can sleep on the sofa.
Don't affect them.
It doesn't matter.
Thank you, Dad.
Eat. Eat.
Let's eat.
Have a shrimp.
OK. OK.
Is your dad calling?
No.
Chengzi called.
That annoying girl.
She calls a lot of times every day,
which is really annoying.
Her family is rich,
so she dares to do that.
Have some soup.
You have it.
I can have three bowls of rice.
Eat more.
Ziqiu, you haven't gone to bed?
I'll take part in the National College Entrance Examination soon.
I want to take a few books
upstairs to review.
Right.
After studying hard for these few months
and being admitted to a university, you'll be relaxed.
Yes.
OK.
Aunt He Lan, I'm going upstairs.
OK.
Go to bed early.
Don't study too late.
Aunt He Lan,
I want to ask you something.
What is it?
Aunt He Lan, take a seat.
OK.
What do you want to ask?
Well.
Do you still remember
Zhao Huaguang?
Why do you think of him suddenly?
During the physical examination at school,
we were asked whether we have any family genetic disease.
I haven't heard about that.
Zhao Huaguang's dad
is over 70 years old now,
but he still works in the field.
I heard that
he is prosperous now.
He has made a lot of money by doing business.
He lives abroad now.
He almost becomes a foreigner.
There is just one mountain
between their hometown and ours.
It was particularly poor.
There was one path leading to their village.
Even cars couldn't enter.
But I heard that a few years ago,
he spent some money
on building a bridge and a road for their village.
Now,
even trucks carrying vegetables
can get into the village.
You know.
He couldn't even support his wife
and child before.
But now he is rich
and has become a benefactor.
He is really rich.
He is not capable at all.
He is just good-looking.
A girl whose family is extraordinarily rich
fell in love with him.
Her family does coal business.
So, he followed her family
to make money through doing business.
Well.
Doesn't he have a child?
Child?
They have done too many bad things.
They have no offspring.
Anyway, I remember
Grandma always scolded him.
Right.
When your grandma
saw him for the first time,
she said that this man has a lot of artful talk
and that he's not a good man.
Forget it.
Anyway,
I haven't heard that he has any genetic disease.
How about
I ask about it for you after I go back?
No need, Aunt He Lan.
I just asked that casually.
OK.
Aunt He Lan, go to bed early.
I'm going upstairs.
Sleep early.
OK.
Don't study too late.
Are you asleep?
Yes.
You talk when you are asleep?
How about you sleep on the floor?
I don't like sleeping in the same bed
with another person.
Come to sleep on the floor.
I'll sleep in the bed.
If you want to sleep in the bed, you can go downstairs.
Why are you here?
No.
I'm afraid that you will speak ill of me.
What can we talk about you?
Anyway,
you can't have any secret
between you guys.
I must know everything.
What secret can we have
that you don't know?
There may be some secrets.
Ziqiu, you are not happy today.
But you didn't say anything about it.
Boy,
you've grown up.
I can't control you.
You begin to have your own thought.
You begin to hide something from your sister.
You are crazy.
See?
You become angry from embarrassment.
Tell me.
Just what's wrong with you?
I just feel a little,
a little uneasy.
Why?
I wonder whether
because I have such a happy life
that I'm afraid others will spoil it.
Who will spoil it?
I don't know.
With too much pressure in your studies,
you can have paranoia that others will hurt you.
I'm thinking about life. OK?
Why are you thinking about it?
Can it be thought about?
The more you think about life,
the more you can't understand.
You even know that?
Who taught you that?
In class,
I thought about life and got it.
What if we don't think about life?
Just live.
Live one day after another.
Live today and then tomorrow.
Eat, sleep, and worry about exams.
If you can't forget today's worry,
you'll have tomorrow's worry.
As long as you are alive,
live one day after another.
One day after another.
Without end.
What I said are in rhyme.
According to what you said,
I feel life is boring.
Because it is boring,
you have to live your life in an interesting way.
Young man,
when you come across something annoying,
don't be so hard on yourself.
Eat something good.
Drink something good.
Do something to make you happy.
I didn't expect Li Jianjian of our family
can come up with
so many life principles.
You are to be congratulated.
Why? You begin to admire me?
If you make less trouble,
I'll admire you more.
When did I make trouble?
Last week, the two of you
went to the internet bar to play games
and were almost caught
by the dean of studies. Did you forget that?
I was unlucky.
Will you go there again?
No, no.
I won't go to that bar.
I'll go to another one.
Li Jianjian,
Ziqiu is going to take part in the National College Entrance Examination.
Can you be good?
Well. Well. I got it.
You are annoying.
Ziqiu, are you asleep?
Yes.
Stop talking. Sleep.
Ling Xiao, I can't sleep.
Count sheep.
One sheep, two sheep,
three, four, five sheep.
Six sheep.
Seven sheep.
Eight, nine, ten sheep.
Ziqiu, why are you behind us?
Come on.
Come on.
The third place.
My mom is going to scold me again.
I'm in the third place too.
I'm in the third place, if we count backwards.
I'm the last but two now!
I made progress.
I'm telling you.
My results are stable.
I was always the last but one.
Let me see who did worse than me.
The big star.
She is crying.
Tang Can, don't cry.
She is affected.
As the last but two,
what are you proud of?
Tang Can just transferred to this school,
and she didn't familiarize the test scope at all.
In essence, you are still the last but one.
Besides,
is there any different between the last but one
and the last but two?
Is there any difference?
Yes.
What is it?
Yes?
Yes.
Yes.
Li Jianjian
Mr. Huang.
Tang Can's mom.
Stand outside
and think about it.
Whether the answer is yes or no?
Tang Can's mom,
you came to talk to me
because of Tang Can's results, right?
Generally, students who just transfer
don't get good results.
You don't need to worry too much.
No, Mr. Huang,
I'm here to ask for leave for Tang Can.
You want to ask for leave?
Yes.
Tang Can needs to act
for a commercial.
We are leaving for Shanghai on Friday.
The shooting will begin on Friday afternoon
and it will take about three working days.
If everything goes well,
we'll be back in the morning on Tuesday
and come to school for classes
in the afternoon.
I see.
In order not to delay
Can's studies,
we've already put off
a print hard advertising film
till the next weekend.
We have
tried our best to coordinate the time.
Look.
Although art colleges
don't require high grades in the subjects,
you can't lag too much.
Right.
In this regard,
Can is particularly self-disciplined.
As long as the director says cut,
she studies aside
and never plays.
OK.
Tang Can,
come on.
In the future, perhaps
I can only see you on TV.
There are so many people for that commercial.
Perhaps there won't be
no independent shots for me.
That's not interesting.
Moreover, I got the last place,
which is very shameful.
I don't have time to study.
That's not shameful.
Didn't your teacher explain it to us?
Because you didn't know
the scope.
Mom,
I want to be an actress and act in films and dramas.
I don't want act for commercials and hard ads.
You
are lazy
and playful.
Rest assured.
As your agent,
I promise
I'll try my best
to get invitations from big directors for you.
My daughter is so excellent.
You'll surely
become a big star.
After I become a big star,
I won't act for commercials casually.
Of course.
When the time comes, a lot of people
will queue up at the gate of our home
and wait for you to act for them.
Whether you agree or not
will all depend on
your mood.
Well.
Stop here.
Go back to attend classes.
I've got to go.
Mom,
I want to
have pan-fried buns stuffed with pork this evening.
Don't eat them.
You'll act for the commercial in a few days.
Just eat some salad.
But I have had porridge and salad
for a few consecutive days.
Good girl.
Our big star
must have perseverance.
Look at your face.
It is as fat as a pan-fried bun stuffed with pork.
Don't eat buns.
Just eat some salad.
Go back.
I've got to go.
How come there is such a mom?
She is pushing her child to make money for her.
If you don't study hard, what future will you have?
There are so many Chinese people.
How many people are popular on TV?
A star dream is useless.
But she looks
really beautiful.
A beautiful appearance is not as good as a beautiful life.
Don't learn from her.
OK.
By the way,
last time I let you
invite Li Jianjian's brothers
for a dinner. Did you tell her?
Yes.
They said OK.
There is a child
who got the first place in the grade.
As parents, they must feel very proud.
Actually, as parents,
we don't
Don't wear white clothes.
You don't keep clean, but you like to wear white clothes.
If you wash clothes by yourself,
you can buy clothes in whatever color you like.
Black doesn't suit you.
You are so young,
so you should wear bright clothes.
Don't wear black clothes.
Salesclerk，
is there any other color for this?
There is grey and pink.
We want a pink one.
OK. Please wait a moment.
Hello. Look at this.
It looks good.
Come and let me see.
Do you like it?
Not too bad.
In this regard,
you are exactly alike your dad.
From eyes to the tone.
You don't have your own ideas at all.
You always say not too bad.
Is there any other style?
