Go Ahead
Episode 7
When we're at home,
Mingyue always tells me about you guys.
And I wanted to
invite you to dinner long ago,
but I've always been busy
with my work.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Mom, please order.
You're a regular customer here,
so you order.
What should I order?
Whatever you want to eat.
Ling Xiao,
you do so well in exams
and you've attended the IELTS test,
so do you plan to study abroad?
No.
The teacher recommended me
to try it.
So did you
get a recommendation for admission to college?
Yes,
but that's not my ideal school.
Anyway, I'll take the college entrance examination,
so it's the same.
You're right.
Your grades
can get you into any college
that you want.
You, your brother and your sister
are really brilliant.
I heard from Mingyue
that Li Jianjian's wood carving
won a prize!
Yes.
So wonderful!
Who taught you that?
I learned it on the online forums
and post bars.
There're some really
amazing masters
and they upload
some teaching videos,
so I learned it on the internet.
You did?
Then what made you think of
taking part in a competition?
I didn't!
I just carved
a little piece of work
and gave it to Xiao.
He took it
to the competition.
Oh, I see.
Jianjian doesn't
do so well in exams,
but she has a great artistic talent.
If she gets some awards,
it'll be easier for her to get admitted to college.
We've agreed
to go to college in Beijing.
I'm not sure if I can do it.
The admission lines for art students are lower,
so it won't be a problem.
Well,
what about you, He Ziqiu?
Which college would you like to go?
Well,
Renmin University of China
or Jiao Tong University.
I think Jiao Tong University is great.
Then after you graduate,
you can go and direct traffic.
A college graduate of Jiao Tong University goes to direct traffic?
That's putting fine timber to petty use!
Yes.
Mingyue wants to be a lawyer,
so she'll apply for China University of Political Science and Law.
When you're in college,
you'll be far away from home
and you can take care of each other.
May I have your order?
Yes.
Spicy boiled pork slices,
beef short ribs,
fried eggplant with red pepper,
any recommendations?
Oh, well
You order these three dishes
every time.
We're having this meal together.
You should have asked if there are any types of food
that they really don't like.
No, there're not.
We eat anything.
Remove spicy boiled pork slices.
Is your fish fresh today?
Yes, the fish arrived this morning.
Then we'll have spicy boiled fish.
A whole fish,
keep the fish head.
OK.
How is your shrimp
today?
You can go
and pick it in the fish tank.
The seafood just arrived this morning.
OK.
Then take me to see it.
You have a talk
and I'll go to order.
OK.
That's my mom.
She's a little demanding.
Why didn't I know
that you wanted to be a lawyer?
I didn't know it, either.
My mom wants me to be a lawyer.
Fortunately, our father doesn't interfere.
What nonsense are you talking about?
Can't you shut up
and just enjoy the food?
But the food is not here yet!
So I can't shut up.
When we were eating,
why did you keep
looking at He Ziqiu?
I didn't!
He just sat opposite me.
Couldn't I look up?
I was just asking.
What's the attitude for?
You look at yourself in the mirror a lot recently.
Don't pay too much attention to your appearance.
If you're the first place in your grade
like Ling Xiao is,
you'll shine even in the dark.
Ling Xiao doesn't shine.
How dare you talk back to me?
I can see what's in your mind.
And what's this?
A bowknot hairpin.
OK, go over there.
Come back home early tonight
and be careful.
Bye, Mom.
Look at those kids!
OK, it's time.
Take it out.
The fever has gone down.
You know what,
after you get better,
you have to extract that tooth.
You're having the fever over and over
and it's bad.
Can I take a day off tomorrow?
We'll talk about it tomorrow morning.
I'm having a fever
and it hurts so much!
Let the storm
be more violent!
He Ziqiu.
Your dad gave you this.
My dad?
Yes.
Thanks.
He Ziqiu,
I've copied the notes and would you
He Ziqiu!
Ziqiu,
someone just brought some food
and he said he was your dad.
He Ziqiu,
we didn't know until today
that your dad was not your real dad.
You lucky brat!
Your real dad looks very rich.
When you get back together with your real dad,
you have to invite us to dinner.
Where is he?
He just left.
Ziqiu, what are you doing?
Can't you think
before you talk?
Excuse me,
what is He Ziqiu going to do?
He's going after his real dad.
His real dad?
Zhao Huaguang!
Ziqiu!
Ziqiu!
Let go of me!
Ziqiu!
Don't ever show up in front of me!
I won't go with you!
I have nothing
to do with you!
Don't go too far!
Ziqiu, let's go.
Don't go too far!
How would I have
such a stupid son?
Haven't you told your dad
that your real dad came to see you?
Are you out of your mind?
Why are you angry with me?
I take you as my friend,
but you just laugh at me like everyone else.
When did I laugh at you?
OK, I'm wrong.
I'm wrong. OK?
Please don't
mention it ever again!
Then what?
What if he comes to see your dad?
On what grounds could he come to see my dad?
OK.
According to your logic,
on what grounds could he come to see you?
If everyone is reasonable,
there will be no bad person.
He can't persuade you,
so he might come to your home.
I think you should tell your dad,
so he won't
be caught off guard.
We'll see.
Let's not talk about him.
Don't cry. Don't cry.
There, there.
Don't cry.
There, there. Don't cry.
It's fine.
There, there. Don't cry.
Jianjian, relax.
Jianjian.
Relax.
I need to go to the bathroom.
Li Jianjian!
You went to the bathroom five minutes ago.
It's fine.
It won't hurt after taking anesthetics.
Relax.
Li Jianjian!
Which one of you is Jianjian?
Here.
Please come this way.
Jianjian! Jianjian!
Look at me.
Take a deep breath.
Yes, take a deep breath.
Better?
It's fine. I won't leave you alone.
I'll be here with you.
Let's go.
Come.
It's fine.
It won't hurt at all after taking anesthetics.
Really.
You're lying.
Li Jianjian.
Jianjian.
Jianjian.
What are you thinking about?
♫Those dreams full of love♫
♫are gradually fading to gold,♫
It's fine. I'm here.
♫without telling me that they're leaving♫
Your brother is so kind to you.
Don't be so nervous.
The more nervous you are, the more afraid you'll be.
♫While you are sleeping,♫
♫it's flowing away lightly♫
After taking anesthetics,
it won't hurt that much.
♫I still care about so many things♫
The doctor said
♫and I complain about the unfairness♫
that it wouldn't hurt in a while.
♫We can never♫
OK, let's start it.
Come. Say "Ah!"
♫go back to the past♫
Open your mouth.
♫I hope that time will never hide♫
Ah.
OK. Good.
♫Even if the rain is pouring down,♫
♫you've shown me how to keep flying♫
Now we're holding hands,
so are you feeling better?
You can eat ice cream these days
♫There has always been that rainbow♫
and it won't get inflamed now.
♫Flying with the love you gave me,♫
What's wrong?
Why are you so quiet?
What are you thinking about?
♫I see myself with big wings♫
If only you can be a dentist in the future.
You won't be afraid of it
if I'm a dentist?
No.
I was really scared.
That doctor hit me with a hammer.
Stop asking me about it.
I don't want to recall it.
The class notes on this Friday,
and I've also brought you
the textbook.
This is the homework for this weekend.
I've suffered so much.
So can't you
stop torturing me?
No.
As your monitor
and your best friend,
I have to
supervise your study.
No need for that!
It hurts!
Why haven't you gone
to your tutoring class?
I skipped it.
If your mom finds out about it,
you'll be in big troubles!
No, she won't.
My grandma is sick
and she's been in the hospital these days,
so she has no time to watch over me.
Where is He Ziqiu?
He's helping in the restaurant.
I'll leave you alone.
Well,
is He Ziqiu
alright?
Yes. What's wrong?
He was mad
when his real dad came to see him.
His real dad?
He has no real dad!
What are you talking about?
Don't you know about it?
Make it clear.
I'm not quite sure about it.
At noon yesterday,
I wanted to give him the notes
and I saw him
rush out angrily.
His basketball teammates said
that his real dad came to see him
and brought them a lot of food.
I'm having a toothache!
Didn't he
tell you about it?
Ziqiu!
What's up? Is it your tooth?
Let me see.
Qi Mingyue is here.
Did Zhao Huaguang go to see you?
He came here?
Where is he?
Didn't he go to school to see you?
How did you know that?
Qi Mingyue saw it.
Why are you staring at her? What's going on?
I don't want to see him!
How many times has he gone to see you?
Just a few times.
Why didn't you tell us?
I've told you
that I don't want to talk about it
and I don't want to see him!
There's nothing to talk about!
That's it!
Don't stand here
like two pillars!
I have to get the food prepared.
He Ziqiu,
don't change the subject!
What does he want with you?
He wants me to go with him,
but I refused!
Why are you so meddlesome?
I'm sorry.
I thought
What did you
think?
If I don't talk about it,
it means that
I don't want anyone to know about it.
Are you really that bored?
If you're bored,
you should ask your mom
to get more tutoring classes for you!
Why are you angry with her?
I'm sorry.
Mingyue!
Mingyue!
Well
What's going on?
Don't take what Ziqiu said to heart.
I'll beat him for you!
Didn't you say
that you would have a meal here?
Don't go!
Mingyue!
You go rest and leave her to me.
Bring her back.
Qi Mingyue!
Wait!
Ziqiu didn't mean to hurt you,
so don't take it to heart.
No.
It was my fault.
You were just concerned about him.
I'm in no position to do that.
We're not friends after all.
You don't take him as a friend?
No.
He's my good friend's brother.
He's like
a stray cat on the street
that eats the food on your hand,
but doesn't let you hold it in your arms.
And when it's upset, it might bite you.
Sometimes he provokes you.
And when you're still mad,
he has totally been over it.
Just like what my dad said about him,
he's insensitive.
No, I'm insensitive.
He Ziqiu was right.
If Jianjian had known about it,
she would have told me.
It was all my fault.
It was obviously
Ziqiu's fault.
But why do you always
put the blame on yourself?
Because I did something wrong.
When we know
our friends are upset,
we'll ask about it.
And there's nothing
wrong about it.
Really?
But He Ziqiu
is really angry.
When someone is angry,
you think it's your fault.
Qi Mingyue,
there's really something wrong with you.
I can't do anything right.
I always make mistakes.
I want to give you a suggestion.
If you feel that you've done something wrong
the next time,
or your mother thinks that you've done something wrong,
before you take the blame,
think about
if someone else
does it,
if it's still wrong.
You're really great.
You're pretty with great personality
and responsibility.
Your parents don't have to worry about you.
The only problem
that you should work on
is that you're not confident enough.
You have to learn to judge things by yourself
and don't deny yourself
just for what others say
about you.
What's wrong?
Xiao!
Where is Mingyue?
I let her go home.
Did she leave with tears on her face?
No, she left with a smile on her face.
What's going on?
Zhao Huaguang wants him back!
In his dreams!
Why didn't you tell us about it?
I've told you so many times
there's nothing to say about it.
Dad is really busy every day
and why bother him with it?
Well
Should we tell him or not?
Never mind.
Since he thinks
it's his own business,
he can do
whatever he wants.
I'm having a toothache!
Go back to your bed
or you might have a fever again.
What's wrong with you three?
Nothing.
Nothing.
Dad,
the minced meat and tofu you cooked
is so delicious.
Li Jianjian, come.
Come.
Xiao, I want some minced meat and tofu.
Yes.
It's great.
Dad, have some.
Xiao, have some meat.
You have some more.
I don't want it now.
Have some meat.
Thank you, Dad.
Just let
them be.
It won't be for long.
By then, Ling Xiao and Ziqiu
will go to college in Beijing
and we'll have only Jianjian.
That'll be much easier.
Jianjian
is the most troublesome among them.
After she gets into college,
life will be really much easier.
You're just saying that.
You'll miss her so much.
Haichao,
your phone!
I'm occupied now.
Who's calling?
A stranger.
Pick it up for me.
OK.
Hello?
Your noodles.
This is not Li Haichao.
Who is that?
He's coming.
Who is that?
I don't know him.
He said he was Zhao Huaguang!
Who is Zhao Huaguang?
Which room does Ziqiu live in?
The one in front of you.
This is so small.
It used to be a utility room.
When Ziqiu moved in,
I put a bed in it.
How can he live here?
Don't get inside.
I'll just look around and I won't touch his things.
Please sit and have some water.
Sit down, please.
You came home early today.
Didn't you go to arrest someone today?
We've got a guest here.
Let me introduce.
This is Ziqiu's godfather,
and he's a police man.
Zhao Huaguang?
Yes, I am.
I'm Ling Heping and I live upstairs.
You're his godfather?
Yes.
Sit down, please.
Sit down, please.
I picked up
your phone call
and we didn't know
who you were at the moment.
Has Ziqiu
told you about me?
When Ziqiu's grandma was alive,
she talked about you a lot,
and then his auntie
occasionally mentioned you,
but it was nothing nice,
so
we did
What's his name again?
Zhao Huaguang.
Zhao Huaguang.
We did know your name.
Here is the thing.
I want to talk
with Ziqiu's foster father
about something related to Ziqiu.
As a neighbor,
would you like to give us some privacy?
He's not just a neighbor.
He's Ziqiu's godfather.
We are a family.
Just say whatever you want.
I don't think it's appropriate.
I think he should
give us some privacy.
Here is the thing.
I've talked
with Ziqiu a couple of times.
And he must have told you about it.
How could you do
such an inconsiderate thing?
Have you got our permission?
How dare you talk to him without our permission?
Actually,
I should have
discussed it
with Ziqiu's foster father.
What do you mean by that?
You must get our permission before doing that!
But
he has grown up.
I want to see him
and hear what he thinks.
Yes.
You're right.
In our family,
we respect the kids' thoughts.
So just tell us
what you want.
First of all, I'll
introduce my situation.
I've been
living abroad,
doing some export business.
And you must have known it,
yes,
I'm rich.
But my wife and I
have no kids
these years.
When she found out
that I had a child with my ex,
she said
that it didn't make sense
if we didn't take care of this child
when we were in
such a good condition.
It doesn't make sense?
Tell me what doesn't make sense.
I've investigate
about Ziqiu's situation.
You're not married
with He Mei, are you?
And Ziqiu's family register
is still with his grandma,
which means
you have
nothing to do
with Ziqiu legally.
But since you've
brought Ziqiu up,
you're really a good man.
Deep down my heart,
I'm really grateful.
Stop it.
I know what you're doing now.
You want
to take Ziqiu back.
You know He Mei well, right?
She left you
because you were poor.
She did that to me too.
She divorced me
because I was poor.
I didn't abandon
Ziqiu back then.
But at that time,
I really couldn't take care of him.
Now my condition is much better,
so I want to make it up to him.
What nonsense are you talking about?
You abandoned him when you were poor
and now when you're rich,
you want to take Ziqiu back.
Do you think
the kid grows up
like some grass
in the field?
Right?
I didn't mean that.
Then what did you mean?
Mr. Li,
you're a sensible man.
If you're really kind to Ziqiu,
you should let him go with me,
which is good for everyone,
right?
It cost you
just 200,000 to 30,000 yuan
to raise Ziqiu these years, right?
How about this?
I'll give you one million yuan as compensation,
so what do you say?
How much?
One million yuan!
I've never
seen
so much money in my whole life!
Me, neither!
One million yuan,
it should be such a pile of money.
Who knows? I think it's more than that.
I can't make so much money
in my whole life!
How many bowls of noodles do I have to sell to make so much money?
Just a piece of cake!
You losers!
How dare you!
You losers!
Ziqiu,
you're back.
What are you doing here?
Scram!
How dare you do this
to your father over and over again?
How many times do I have to tell you
that you're not my father?
Why did you come here
to bother my dad?
You don't take after me
at all!
What can you achieve
living such a crappy life
in such a crappy family?
For your own good,
you should go with me
to study abroad!
Ziqiu!
You're in no position
to say that!
What do you think you are?
Calm down! Calm down!
No need to argue with such a stranger!
You!
You're the one who's living a crappy life!
He Ziqiu,
think about it harder!
Who's being really kind to you?
He called us a crappy family
and he said
that we couldn't achieve anything.
Jianjian,
just ignore
what he said.
You didn't see
how awesome your dad was just now.
I thought your dad
would be bullied,
so I came home
to back him up
as a police man.
But in the end,
he just pushed
that man out
with both hands.
You say, isn't that awesome?
Dad, you're so awesome!
Let's just eat.
Get the soup here.
OK. OK.
Why didn't you tell me
that Zhao Huaguang went to see you?
You did something wrong, you know?
I was wrong, Dad.
I'm sorry.
Both of you
know it, right?
We found it out several days ago,
but he didn't let us tell you.
I've told him
that I wouldn't go with him.
I've thrown back the clothes and shoes
he bought for me.
Does it work?
You're about to take
the college entrance exams!
You have only one month left!
You say, what if
he affects your mood
and you fail in the exams?
What you've done will go in vain.
Do you think it's worthy?
Do you want to do it all over again?
You've grown up,
but you're not adults yet.
You're not old enough
to deal with things like this.
It's not humiliating
to turn to your parents.
I don't want to bother you
with it.
It's bothering to raise children!
And you kids have bothered me
a lot!
What to do now?
It's no big deal.
Don't go with him if you don't want to!
He won't win
even if
we go to court.
Yeah.
If he comes to see you again,
call the police
and I'll deal with him.
Yes.
We can go to court.
Yes!
I'll get a good lawyer.
We're not short of money!
There is a senior lawyer
that always
comes to
our noodle restaurant
and I'll hire him.
That's settled.
Good! See?
It's solved.
How is it solved?
Didn't you hear it?
We can go to court.
How could they
be so shameless?
A senior executive's wife just left
and then a new rich came!
They just came uninvited.
Do they think it's a buffet restaurant here?
Jianjian, where did you get it from?
You sound like an adult.
Li Jianjian,
don't read
so many internet novels online.
And get ready for your competition!
Do you hear me?
OK.
A competition?
What competition?
In the holiday,
there's some
Green Day Cup,
and it's
a carving improvisation competition.
A improvisation competition?
If you can't think of anything
on the scene,
wouldn't that be embarrassing?
Then I'll come back empty-handed.
She does have a big heart!
She has a goose head.
You have a goose head!
It's so great.
Dad.
Yes.
You're still doing homework?
Yes.
Thank you, Dad.
Ziqiu.
Yes?
I know
you always feel
that you owe this family,
so you try your best
to make it up for us.
You help me with the housework,
including the laundry,
the cleaning
and helping me in the noodle restaurant.
And you've always
been kind
to Jianjian and even Ling Xiao.
Dad,
don't say that.
I'm willing to do those things.
You know,
when Jianjian's mother passed away,
she was still
pregnant of
a baby boy.
But Jianjian kept saying,
"Mom,
give me an elder brother!
I want an elder brother!
I don't want a younger brother!"
And then you came.
I really think
that the god
is on my side
and it's amazing.
Jianjian could finally have an elder brother.
And I can be father to another child.
So
things in this world
are uncertain.
Good things
might happen to you
and bad things might happen to you too.
Sometimes, a bad thing
can turn into a good thing.
Misfortune may be an actual blessing.
Yes.
That's what I meant.
So
Ziqiu,
no matter what happens,
don't worry.
I'll always be here for you.
♫Thinking of the first time that I held your hand,♫
OK.
Don't worry.
♫you held me so tight as if I was everything to you♫
I'll be here for you.
OK.
As long as you can be healthy
♫One is getting bigger,♫
and grow up happily,
♫while the other is getting smaller♫
I'm really content.
♫Time brings us♫
But by then
♫together in our lives♫
I'll be old.
Dad, don't worry.
♫Good night♫
By then,
♫Goodbye♫
I'll be there for you.
♫My children,♫
♫maybe when you leave here,♫
Yes, you'll be there for us.
♫your way home will get longer and longer♫
Then I'll be relieved.
Now do homework.
Finish your homework.
♫Walk slowly♫
Go to bed after having the milk.
OK.
Dad, good night.
OK.
♫and don't look back♫
♫I'll be here,♫
♫looking forward♫
♫with your shadow♫
Thank you.
Our fruit tea, please hurry up.
OK.
Miss Tang,
thank you for the food
and the drink.
You're welcome.
I've made some money,
so it's of course on me.
Isn't it great to be an actress?
You can meet so many entertainers.
Miss Tang,
have you met Zhou Xun?
Not yet.
But we're in the same circle,
so we have a chance to work together.
Miss Tang,
do you want to apply for
a film academy?
What do we have to prepare
for applying a film academy?
Do you want to apply for a film academy
and become an actress too?
Do you think I can?
It depends on
whether you have an acting talent.
Would you like
to try shedding tears within one minute?
Within one minute?
Sure. Can't you even do that?
Miss Tang, please teach me.
OK.
There're some little tricks.
First, you have
to be emotional,
and then think about
the things that make you really sad.
Miss, is our fruit tea ready?
Right away.
Li Jianjian, what were you laughing at?
I didn't laugh at anything.
Mingyue,
don't you think I should go
and be a training class teacher?
After all, the last one in our class
can be a teacher too.
What do you mean?
I don't mean anything.
I want to learn from Miss Tang.
Miss Tang,
just ignore her.
She's just being jealous.
Tang Can
was a child star
and she's a very experienced actress.
When she's making a commercial,
those people address her "Miss Tang".
Even if she doesn't work hard,
she has a wealthy family.
Her father works in logistics business
and her mother
worked in one of the top 500 companies in the world.
What does she do now, dear?
She's Miss Tang's
full-time agent.
When Miss Tang
gets famous all over China,
her classmate who's the third from the last
will still be doing the dishes
in some small noodle restaurant.
Doing the dishes?
Excuse me?
My dear.
Here is the thing.
You might not know
He Ziqiu,
but you must have heard of Ling Xiao.
He always gets the first place in school
and his photo is always posted on the bulletin board.
So what?
He's Li Jianjian's elder brother,
and she has another elder brother
who also does well in school.
In the future, both of them will take good care of her.
The key point
is the dishes.
The key point is that
she never does the dishes at home.
Your fruit tea is ready.
Coming.
I'm bound to
be taken good care of
in my whole life.
Let's go
and give your brothers the fruit tea.
OK.
We're the only child
in our families,
but why could her family have three children?
But the family names of her elder brothers are not "Li".
Don't always find fault with Tang Can again.
I just can't stand her
playing a sweet girl in public.
It means she's a good actress.
Li Jianjian,
go to your brothers on your own.
I'm going back to the classroom.
I haven't finished my homework
for the cram school.
Are you still mad at Ziqiu?
I've told him
to apologize to you.
No, I'm not mad at him.
I really haven't finished my homework
and my mom will check it.
I'm leaving.
Mingyue
You want to be a lawyer in future, right?
So can I win
if we go to court?
What do you think?
The thing is that my dad and I
are not on the same family register,
so legally,
he's not my father.
Are you crazy?
There's no need to go to court!
You're about to be 18 years old
and you won't need a guardian by then.
He didn't bring you up
and you don't have to provide for him when he gets old.
Whether you want to go with him
is up to you.
But if it were me, I would go with him.
There's no need to take the hard way.
It's not easy for your dad to run a noodle restaurant.
Just take it as robbing the rich to help the poor.
I can make money!
Why should I take his money?
Look at you!
You're being silly.
Ziqiu,
this is the fruit tea for you.
My hands are dirty. Help me with it.
Is that one for me? Thanks.
No, it's for my brother!
I'm leaving. Bye!
Slower!
Isn't it nice to have a little sister?
That's not hygienic!
