[Meet Yourself]
[Episode 12]
Mr. Xie, Xiaochun.
We just mentioned you.
You're talking about me?
What did you say?
You're kind and active.
Come out. I have something to say.
I can't hear it?
Come on.
What made you so happy?
It's a piece of great news.
You found a rich man?
Bingo.
Bet whether we can make it,
it depends on us now.
Who is he?
You look so happy.
Tell me.
Have you heard of Shaohua Bookstore?
Yes.
Its first store was in Beijing, I've been there.
Then how about opening one in Yunmiao Village?
What?
That's great.
Tell me about it.
I'm hungry and want to eat
the braised chicken in Galsang Flower Restaurant.
Let's go.
Shaohua Bookstore?
I've been there.
There is one in Beijing.
I went there with my friend.
What's your impression of it?
It's big with two or third floors.
It's delicate and literary.
It is special.
The coffee and desserts are good.
And there are many kinds of books and goods.
It's interesting.
Would it be attractive to you
if we open one in Yunmiao Village?
Of course.
The bookstore
on Mount Qingcheng is about to open.
And many travel bloggers want to visit there.
And all the homestay hotels
around Mount Qingcheng were full.
Mount Qingcheng?
What's their specialty?
Lady white snake.
So they'll sell snake soup in the coffee shop?
Childish.
The main dish is not here yet.
Don't just eat the milk cakes. Stop.
I like it.
You'll fart if eating too much.
Enough nonsense.
I don't understand what you just said.
What's it about?
So there is a bookstore,
and there will be one here, right?
I have a close senior brother.
He is the classmate
of the founder in postgraduate school.
I asked him to introduce me to the founder.
I introduced him
the situation of Yunmiao Village.
He is very interested,
so he wants to investigate here.
Investigate here?
Then that's not settled.
Don't say that.
My senior brother said,
if he is not very interested,
he won't come here himself.
He would send his assistant here.
He made the first step forward.
Should we finish the rest actively?
So, we should
prepare in advance.
I'll receive him,
and let him fully know the geographic location,
environmental advantages
and cultural characteristics of Yunmiao Village.
Okay.
Then I will explain the policy support
provided to investors by rural revitalization,
as well as some tax incentives.
Hongdou.
Help us to receive him.
I've never received leaders.
Only the leaders can receive leaders.
Because you're not a local here.
You're a tourist,
so they'll think what you say is objective.
And we don't know how many people they are,
so we need help.
Come on.
Let Auntie Huailan make
some clothes for us to wear when receiving him.
Well,
what do you mean by us?
You're also included.
Let me tell you, Hongdou.
I saw Ms. Xie make a suit for Gezi.
It's specially made for him.
It's very beautiful.
There is embroidery on the collar.
The only one in the
world, no clothing clashing.
Yes.
They wore formally to attend
the Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition.
Then we should hurry up to make clothes.
We should get prepared.
Let's go after lunch.
Okay.
Okay.
The braised chicken.
Wow.
Here.
Enjoy it.
Thank you, Aunt Hua.
You're welcome.
I'll have a try.
You kept Ms. Xie's work,
you want to open an exhibition for her?
Craftsmen like Ms. Xie
with more than ten years of experience,
their works are sensible.
They are works of art.
As a local artist,
she can surely open an exhibition.
What is Ms. Xie's child doing?
She is not married yet.
Why?
Ms. Xie went to the Old Town
when she was eighteen.
She met a Frenchman.
The Frenchman is a painter
who comes to China to visit.
He fell in love with Ms. Xie at the first sight,
and invited her to be his model.
The painter painted many portraits for Ms. Xie.
Then Ms. Xie fell in love with him.
Why did they break up?
That painter wanted to go back to France.
He told Ms. Xie,
I love you, if you love
me, just go with me.
Then Ms. Xie asked him,
I love you,
if you love me, just stay here.
That Frenchman kept silent.
Ms. Xie said,
if you can't do that,
don't ask me to do that,
because love is equal.
If you want to prove you love me,
you need to sacrifice more for me.
That's right.
Then Ms. Xie didn't
fall in love with anyone else,
so she didn't get married.
But, she has been
doing the things she likes.
She likes embroidery,
likes teaching students.
So, she is enjoying her life.
Your ice cream is melting.
Give it to me.
Do you have a tissue?
No.
Give it to me.
Just wipe it here.
I'll wash it later.
I shouldn't walk this way.
Yang Xu.
Yao.
She is?
My friend.
This is Tuotuo's dad.
Hello, Tuotuo's dad.
Hello.
When will you leave?
Recently.
My wife went to rent a house.
Did Tuotuo know you won't take him?
Just hide it from him.
He'll cry if we tell him.
He'll be unhappy.
We can do nothing about it.
Okay.
- I'll invite you to dinner before I left.
- Okay.
I shall leave now.
Bye-bye.
What's wrong?
It's okay, let's go.
Tuotuo, eat more,
or you can't eat it when you go to Kunming.
Kunming?
Who said Tuotuo will go to Kunming?
His parents will go there.
Tuotuo doesn't want to go there.
But he has nothing to do with it.
Don't worry, Tuotuo.
Your parents won't take you with them.
You can just stay here
with grandparents and go to school.
Uncle Guanjun, you're lying.
No.
Your dad told me about it.
You'll go to school here like Huzi.
Four friends will stay together.
Don't worry.
Really, dad?
Really?
Yes.
What's wrong, Tuotuo?
Why are you crying?
Okay, okay.
Don't cry.
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong, Tuotuo?
You'll stay together, right?
Okay, okay.
Don't cry.
What's the difference with this employee manual?
It will make a difference.
You shall not be late or leave early.
You shall not be late or leave early,
or ask for leave randomly.
Then you can get
200 yuan more every month, understand?
There should have been an employee manual before.
That girl is so nice.
Don't just hear the advantages Baoping said.
How could they make such an employee manual,
just to give us more money?
They just added a full-attendance bonus reward.
Your salary will be reduced if you leave early.
If you can't reach the standard,
your salary will also be reduced.
Xiaochun said,
big companies in the cities are all like this.
Is this manual good or bad?
It's hard to say that.
We just need to work hard.
Is Xu Hongdou working in the cafe?
Xiaochun said she is a volunteer.
People living in the yard are not normal people.
They got bored living in cities,
so they relax here.
Even if it's that Nana,
she couldn't live here for a long time.
The youngsters in the village are moving outside.
Well,
Yang Xu and his wife are also leaving.
They didn't tell their kid.
Tuotuo knew about it last night.
He cried for a long time.
So does Huzi.
His parents got back during the spring festival.
He didn't recognize them.
It's not like that.
Mr. Xie and Xiaochun are also capable,
but they came back.
And Huang Xinxin.
She became an officer here after graduation.
She focused on the development here.
She said if the village develops well,
people will come back.
The idea is good,
but it's hard to say whether she can make it.
This is the first step of the long march.
But we've finished the long march.
Wait and see if the long march
can be over when you're my age.
Don't just discourage them.
Youngsters should have
someone to tell them the cruel truth.
It's not that simple, right?
Aunt Baoping,
did Xiaochun tell you the story about
Mr. Xie and Xu Hongdou at home?
What is it?
Yes.
What is it?
My granny told me,
Mr. Xie listens to whatever she said.
No way.
And he always takes her to eat in the restaurant.
It must be expensive to eat in a restaurant.
Yes.
Then he surely likes her.
My dad said,
he'll come back with aunt this time.
Yuan won't come back.
He left too much homework behind,
so he needs to study.
Granny,
are you listening to me?
What are you thinking?
Yao.
Tell me the truth.
You asked Xu Hongdou to help me,
and invited her to eat here.
Do you like her?
She thinks you look like her granny,
so she likes to be with you.
Besides, I also invited
Nana to eat at our home.
Nana came with Xiaochun.
And she only came twice.
And you said nothing much with her.
You treat Xu Hongdou differently.
You also bought rice noodles for her.
That's the condition
I offered her to be a volunteer.
I'll buy her meals.
Buy her meals?
Then why doesn't he give you money directly?
I have money to buy meals.
Of course, he should buy delicious food for me.
Then why did he take you
to see the birth of the foal alone?
The birth of the foal.
I should show her what's not in the city.
She's been playing with the cat every day.
I guess she likes animals.
When you are looking at her,
even your eyes are smiling.
He'll smile at everyone.
He is happier when he meets you.
I'm a volunteer.
If I were him, I'm
happier than him.
If a man and a woman are together,
do they have to be a couple?
I'm not here to find a boyfriend.
Don't think too much.
No.
It's not like that.
I just think she is nice and kind.
But she'll go back soon.
Don't think too much.
I like her.
You can like her, but it is none of my business.
I think you also like her.
I just like her as a friend.
You like her.
I can help you.
Don't do that,
or she won't come to our home.
Don't do that.
Wait.
A phone call.
Hello, Mr. Ma.
What's wrong?
I'm helping my granny.
Okay, see you later.
Let's go.
Go.
Okay.
I should water the succulents today.
Why isn't he sitting there today?
Strange.
Jiahui.
Why do I feel this is
Please.
Good tea.
Give me some next time.
Okay.
Mr. Xie.
I came here,
to ask you something.
Say it.
Where do young men go,
when they are dating?
The cafe.
Where do they go when they discuss work?
The cafe.
Where do they go
when they want to chat and start a business?
Is this some kind of brainteaser?
Still the cafe.
Why not go to the teahouse?
The tea is good.
And in China,
there are more people drinking tea.
Well,
you don't ask me why?
Do you need me to call
Ye Sen here to cooperate with you?
It's serious.
Don't joke with me.
I can't wait anymore.
You've been staying here for more than a year.
It's time that you want
to start a business again.
Let me tell you,
in my mind,
the ideas of starting a business,
are booming,
like mushrooms after rain.
You can't suppress them.
I sit there every day,
and meditate.
I want to let go of all ideas.
If I can't let them go,
I'll use the writing brush
to write them on the Xuan paper every night.
Then I'll burn the incense and paper.
Let them go with the wind.
But there is one idea.
It has been existing in my mind.
The more I think, the clearer it will be.
The more I think, the
more concrete my idea is.
When I close my eyes every day,
I would think how
to position and market a new tea shop
Then how to finance,
open branches and enter the market.
I didn't think that much.
I was just thinking,
how many branches I can open in the country.
So you want to open a tea shop
where people can chat and date?
Yes.
Since there are cafes,
why can't there be tea shops?
I've had an investigation.
Now there are some new tea shops
aiming at developing
the third space in the market.
But,
the target is not clear,
so they didn't achieve great success.
There is still much room for development,
optimization and improvement.
Tell me about it.
Okay.
I'll explain it to you carefully.
I like tea.
And I know a little about Chinese tea culture.
But to be honest, people now,
especially young people,
don't know much about tea.
At this time,
they need professional people like us
to identify the good tea for them,
and to match the most appropriate boiling method,
then they can fully appreciate
the charm of tea and tea culture.
And most importantly,
we should keep pace with the times.
We should include all the non-pure tea drinks
that meet the tastes and needs of young people.
So,
you want to enlarge the concept of tea?
Exactly.
We won't set barriers,
nor pretend to be elegant.
Mr. Xie.
Chinese tea culture should be young,
and should be rejuvenated.
Tea culture must spread
in every corner of the space.
If you want it, you can get it.
If you're not interested,
you'll gradually like it.
This is how it works.
Where do you want to open the first shop?
It must be a big city,
like Beijing, Shanghai,
Guangzhou or Shenzhen.
But it has to develop steadily.
We must build
the brand influence of this first shop.
Will you make
peripheral products at the same time?
Yes, and they must be placed
in the shop where people can easily get.
If you are interested in it, you can get it.
If the first shop succeeds,
you can open the branches.
The market prospect and space may be pretty good.
Mr. Xie.
You think I can start this business?
I'm not responsible for investment evaluation now.
I know that.
But, you don't like my
project or invest money.
It turns out my judgment was right.
And this one?
Have you ever thought,
there are so many ideas,
why did you choose this?
Yes.
Because I like it.
This is something I really want to do.
You're not catering to the public?
Definitely not.
That's good.
Industry revitalizes the country.
I think,
you can have a try.
You won't discourage me?
If you get started,
the problems will show up themselves.
I don't need to do that.
And as for starting a business,
you're more experienced,
whether it's a success or failure experience.
About this, I should
learn from you.
That's right.
Okay, that's a deal.
Okay.
I'll make the plan, you find investment.
Okay.
Nice.
First of all,
I want to build a research and development team.
I may need some fees at the beginning.
Of course.
Yes,
but I have no money.
Why are you looking at me?
I have no money.
You
You're a president.
You
What are you doing?
You're blaming me?
You have money,
you sold your house in Beijing to pay the debt.
You
Don't mention that.
Drink the tea.
Tea culture?
Is he in this class?
No.
The class behind.
He doesn't come out.
You haven't seen him for half a year?
Yes.
I don't know if I can recognize him.
Here he is.
Really?
That class.
Gather here, kids.
And keep it in order.
Huzi!
Huzi!
Huzi!
I'm your mom.
He doesn't know what to do now.
I'm your mom. He dares not to recognize me.
I'm your mom.
Huzi, there are too many cars.
Let me hold your hand, okay?
Let me hold your hand.
Huzi.
Don't run.
It's dangerous.
Be careful.
I knew it.
When you're back,
they would drink a lot together.
Have they gone to sleep?
Yes, and so did Huzi.
Come on, I'll wash it.
It's okay, it's almost finished.
Why are you crying?
I'm fine.
What's wrong?
Tell me about it.
Did anything happen?
Mom, don't think too much.
I'm fine.
Really?
Then why are you crying?
I went to pick Huzi up today.
He he didn't recognize me,
and he wouldn't let me hold his hand.
He is not close to us anymore.
Here.
Wipe your tears.
Don't be sad.
It's no big deal.
Here, wipe it.
Let me tell you,
raising kids is like raising dogs.
After you stay here for three days,
he'll be close to you.
Here, wipe it.
Don't take it seriously.
Huzi is still little.
When he grew up,
he'll understand.
Really?
Yes.
Actually, he also missed you.
He is just feeling shy.
When you were not
here, he would ask,
when will my mom come back?
Really?
Yes.
He wants the new GG Bond, right?
You really know about him.
Are you comforting me or not, mom?
I'm comforting you.
Really.
What else?
GG Bond.
GG Bond.
My dad will give me delicious food,
when he comes back to see me.
And he'll buy many story books for me.
Yes, Tuotuo.
Call them if you need anything.
Do you miss them?
No.
A real man won't cry tears.
I want my parents to work outside,
then I can play with my phone every day.
Let me change a flavor for you.
Is it delicious?
Aunt Gui.
Try these egg cakes.
Aunt E gave me these.
Not me.
I'm busy, you can eat it.
Forget it.
I'll try some.
Just a second.
Wait for me.
Take your time, and be careful.
Be careful.
Sorry, sorry.
I got up late.
It's okay.
I'm not used to letting others wait.
You're so serious as a consultant.
You made everyone else
feel embarrassed to be lazy.
Yes.
The eunuch is anxious, instead of the emperor.
You're at least a maid.
The eunuch isn't here yet.
You didn't sleep well tonight?
Don't mention it.
My sister called me at midnight.
She asked me to send birthday blessings
for my mom at the exact time.
Then I couldn't fall asleep,
so I watched a movie.
Your sister is so strange.
She doesn't sleep?
She doesn't sleep,
not before 1 o'clock.
She is so busy with work.
No.
She plays with her phone
for two hours before going to sleep.
Retaliatory entertainment.
Strange lady.
Let's start.
Wait.
I'll call the eunuch to see where he is.
I'm here.
Don't call me, I'm here.
You're just here?
See?
This is our unique work style here.
You've met him before, right?
Our artistic designer, Ye Sen.
He is smart.
Let's get started.
Okay.
The leader first.
Then I'll show you a comic monologue first,
All About Comedy, okay?
That's a comic dialogue.
Okay, enough.
Let's be serious.
We mainly discuss the preliminary preparations
for the reception
of the boss of Shaohua Bookstore today.
And I want to ask for your opinions.
Besides high-quality
resources like Shaohua Bookstore,
do we have any other methods to attract tourists?
I'll say my opinion first.
There is a middle-end
homestay hotel in our village now.
There is also a high-end
homestay hotel under construction.
People can experience
tie-dye in the Tie-dye workshop.
We can teach lessons in the embroidery workshop.
There are stud farms and campsites.
The infrastructure is complete.
We can let the tourists stay here
for two days and one night.
Besides,
I want to make a short promotional video,
to show these features,
and post it on the Internet.
And it can be displayed in our yard.
Compared with the leaflets,
I think this can better
attract people's attention.
I think this is a great idea.
There will be a bookstore here,
so I want to make
this promotional video as early as possible.
We can make the video with villagers.
Huang can act in it.
People can follow Huang
to experience the interesting items,
the natural scenery, delicious food,
and some intangible cultural heritage arts.
Wait,
why me?
Because you're active and cute,
and are friendly to people.
Okay.
As long as it is useful for development,
just ask me to do whatever you want.
I've thought about it.
The theme of the video
is Meet Yourself.
Why is this theme?
Explain it.
This yard is called Youfeng Yard (Windy Yard),
because we hope everyone who lives here
to find the power of happiness in life.
The essence of wind is the flow of air.
Wind is formed when cold air flows to hot air,
then everything in the world has vitality.
Without wind,
everything is lifeless.
Birds will go to the south for the winter.
When people are feeling cold,
they will go to warm places,
to look for the power of happiness, beauty,
and starting again.
Huang, do you have any questions?
I think it's a good idea,
but the budget in our village
Don't worry.
I'll find investment.
That's exactly what I want.
Then that's a deal.
Ye Sen.
Say something.
I need to think about it.
Haven't you prepared?
I want to brainstorm here.
Why did you bring a notebook?
It's just a tool for the meeting.
Xu Hongdou, am I right?
No, I'm prepared.
You're just a consultant.
Yes, so I didn't prepare much.
Just about ten points.
I'm worried that
this bad social atmosphere
of working-too-hard will influence us.
Xinxin, am I right?
Yes.
I think,
when you're in the
meeting, it will be chatting.
Shut up.
Hongdou, just say it.
I'm thinking,
our online shop will send
many packages every day, right?
If we put a leaflet
of Yunmiao Village in every package,
it will leave an impression on the customers.
When they want to
travel, or come to Dali,
maybe they will come here.
This is good.
We can implement it.
Well, if we want to
make a promotional video,
we can add a QR Code on the leaflet.
People can scan and watch it.
Right.
It would be better. I was just thinking about it.
♫ Listen to the rain
falling into the silent forest ♫
♫ Enjoy the mountainous landscape at sunset ♫
♫ The raindrops on the roof
fall into the eyes secretly ♫
♫ The world is like a quiet island ♫
♫ The sky is turning bright silently ♫
♫ Waiting for the seabirds
to call forth the ripples ♫
♫ Waiting for the sunlight to shine into
my heart across the lake ♫
♫ Set sail when it's windy ♫
♫ The reflection of clouds, the changing moon
and the stars all over the sky ♫
Granny.
It's too bright outside.
It's bad for your eyes.
It's good for me.
If I do nothing, I'll get old faster.
You'll be blind.
Well,
I mean,
it will cause serious consequences.
If you watch the mobile phone in the quilt,
will you be blind?
You watch the computer under so bright light,
will you be blind?
I think you'll be blind soon.
Just play with me.
I'm talking with you.
Talking is also a way of playing?
Granny.
When you are not working,
what do you like to do?
I'll visit neighbors.
You won't play mahjong?
I've been working for my whole life.
I never played.
When I was young,
I can't even be full or wear warm clothes.
Whether it's an adult or a child,
they were all starving.
They just work for food.
I liked singing when I was young.
Yao's grandpa was good at singing.
When we were tired of working in the field,
he would sing for me.
If he went fishing in the sea,
I would wait for him at the bank.
He would come back, singing.
It's so beautiful.
Yao had an uncle before.
But his lips were purple when he was born.
When he was five years old,
he can't breathe,
when he was running.
The hospital told us
there is a hole in his heart.
It's congenital.
The hospital can't cure it.
It's not as advanced as present days.
We had no medical insurance.
We borrowed much money,
and we didn't pay off the money
we borrowed for our wedding.
At that time, Yao's dad was just a baby.
So,
I need to work hard.
This is my whole life,
I never played.
Granny.
Wait for me.
I'll fetch something.
Wait for me.
♫ Stars in the sky ♫
I didn't master it yet.
Again.
Again.
Okay, again.
♫ I take out a pen ♫
♫ What can I do ♫
♫ I have piles of mung beans ♫
♫ Mung beans are delicious ♫
Again.
I'll choose the blue one.
♫ And the tower is tall ♫
♫ With a slim figure ♫
♫ My baby, let's go to sleep ♫
♫ And the tower is tall ♫
You cheated.
Granny, this is a
technical problem.
This is not mahjong.
How do I cheat?
The lunch will be ready in ten minutes.
What are you playing?
Saving the Penguin from breaking the ice.
I just got it, and wanted
it to give to Tuotuo.
Why is granny unhappy?
She lost.
She cheated.
Granny, you can't
cheat when playing this.
Or you can play with Yao.
Okay, come on.
Come on.
Which color do you want?
I want red.
White, white.
I'll knock it first.
See?
You're experienced.
Again.
Again.
Granny.
You're a master of it now.
Again.
Okay.
Did you two cheat?
This is a technical problem.
This is not mahjong.
How do I cheat?
It must be Hongdou.
Can't you afford to lose?
You cheated, and you
taught granny to cheat.
She is angry because I told the truth.
You're more like a granny.
I won't play with you two.
Let's have lunch now.
You're so bad at playing.
He can't afford to lose.
He became anxious.
He became anxious.
You finally have a few months' vacations.
Now you're working there.
How much does he pay you?
I'm a volunteer.
I think it's meaningful.
And he offers me meals.
Oh, no.
You were brainwashed by him.
Capitalists are good at brainwashing.
Do you need his meal?
Or does he offer you any delicious food?
Yes, it's delicious food.
Those who can brainwash Dou
are not ordinary people.
She is a volunteer this time.
We need to save her
from a pyramid-selling gang next time.
Great, my sister.
Then I can be brainwashed without hesitation.
I won't be angry with whatever you said.
Just say what you like, I'm not angry.
You made much progress.
I'll say, you should
walk out and relax,
Your mind will be broadened, right?
Mom.
I sent you the fried
termite mushroom oil
and dried boletus
made by Granny Xie.
Remember to receive it.
How can I eat that?
I'll send you the recipe.
Well, I'll go to eat something.
It's ready.
You eat midnight snacks?
You'll be fat.
Thank you for your blessing.
Bye-bye.
Go to sleep early.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Is it ready, Hongdou?
Yes.
I'll ask if Damai will eat it with us.
Watch the pot.
Nana.
Nana.
♫ Listen to the rain
falling into the silent forest ♫
♫ Enjoy the mountainous landscape at sunset ♫
♫ The raindrops on the roof
fall into the eyes secretly ♫
♫ The world is like a quiet island ♫
♫ The sky is turning bright silently ♫
♫ Waiting for the seabirds
to call forth the ripples ♫
♫ Waiting for the sunlight to shine into
my heart across the lake ♫
♫ Set sail when it's windy ♫
♫ The reflection of clouds, the changing moon
and the stars all over the sky ♫
♫ The lost footsteps will be gradually erased ♫
♫ The light and shadow of four seasons ♫
♫ I've seen the meteor
that lights up the night sky ♫
♫ When the wind rises,
the sky will be cloudless ♫
♫ The sky is turning bright silently ♫
♫ Waiting for the seabirds
to call forth the ripples ♫
♫ Waiting for the sunlight to shine into
my heart across the lake ♫
♫ Set sail when it's windy ♫
♫ The reflection of clouds, the changing moon
and the stars all over the sky ♫
♫ The lost footsteps will be gradually erased ♫
♫ The light and shadow of four seasons ♫
♫ I've seen the meteor
that lights up the night sky ♫
♫ When the wind rises,
the sky will be cloudless ♫
♫ Go to a windy place to meet you ♫
