[Meet Yourself]
[Episode 20]
To be honest, I can't
make difficult dishes,
but I can master some easy recipes.
Granny.
Let's eat out.
I'll take you to Galsang Flower Restaurant,
have braised chicken.
The meal is ready now.
Why do we eat out?
It smells good.
I can smell it in the yard.
Didn't you go to look after the patient?
Why are you back now?
Auntie Feng didn't allow me to stay.
So I had to come home.
What did you cook for granny?
Look here.
Eating with you is like
to poison our granny.
Leave if you don't eat.
Enough talk.
Listen,
this is the recipe of my hometown.
It looks common,
but the taste is good.
Try it.
I have confidence in red braised fish.
How is it? Good?
You put vinegar?
For raw fish smell.
How much did you put?
Same as dark soy sauce.
I think Yunan people like sour flavors.
You have sour chicken feet.
Sour papaya fish.
Yes.
I love sour food.
I'll try it.
It's good. Delicious.
Right?
Here.
It's for you.
Granny.
Isn't it too much?
Well. Eat more.
Eat.
Great.
I'll eat.
Yummy.
I should have
had the food delivery of braised chicken
from Galsang Restaurant.
It was not that bad.
Though the slick of meat was thick,
it tasted fresh with starch coating.
Put less dark sauce on vegetables.
Soy and oyster sauces are enough.
Is it sour?
I'll try one.
It's too sour.
Enough. Don't eat them.
It is sour.
One more try.
We should stop here.
The grapes won't be sweeter
if we keep eating them.
The shop owner said they are sweet.
And I ate some, they were good.
The same bunch?
No.
So you know why.
Not the same brunch,
and they may not be from the same root.
So we just throw them away?
We can make jam or wine.
All roads lead to Rome.
Do you like plums?
I like it.
What about?
We hold an event with our friends.
Event?
Pick fruits at an orchard.
Eat while picking.
What about the fee for each person?
Don't worry.
It's on me, and so is the lunch.
Sounds good.
Boss's treat.
When is it?
There's no time like the present.
What about tomorrow?
Tomorrow?
Unavailable?
I am not.
The deal, then.
But Nana will work at the shop tomorrow.
We'll have a day off.
Boss. You're generous.
Nice.
Yeah.
It's too hot.
Sorry. My fault.
Oh, my god.
Are you ready?
We are ready.
Come again?
Are you ready?
We are ready.
Here we go.
Sing.
Sun. Sun.
Bring us the light of seven colors.
Shine upon us, making
our spiritual flowers
lovely and beautiful.
Today, we grow
up in this sunshine.
Tomorrow we will build a colorful world.
Come with me.
Come with me.
Come with me.
Come with me.
Seven-color light. Seven-color light.
The light of the sun.
We step into the future
with the dream of seven colors.
One more time. Go.
[It's all for the kids]
I left my thermal mug.
We step into the future with
The full moon is in the sky.
The shadow accompanies me.
Two people are with each other.
The wind blows gently.
A line is in the sky.
The plane leaves the line.
The flower blossoms at the end of the rainbow.
Who left there
Enjoy.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Nana.
Here is a notification.
Tomorrow is closed for a party event.
An event for what?
Our people will go to pick in the orchard.
We can eat while picking.
It's on Yao.
Really?
That's great.
President Xie deserves to be my idol.
But,
remember to wear some old clothes tomorrow,
with long sleeves.
The orchard is full
of mud and branches.
Remember sun protection.
Get them informed.
Got it.
I'll create a chat room to tell our guys.
Ok.
Xiaochun.
Hu.
Nana.
Triple-shot americano.
Sure.
Thank you.
And, we're going to
the orchard tomorrow.
You're going, too?
I'm going with everyone.
Everyone?
Including me?
I, I am not in.
Have fun.
Not going?
Why don't you join us?
You have lectures?
You remind me of something.
I found a miracle today.
What is it?
You told me, the
accordion teacher
of kindergarten has gone, right?
But you know what?
During lecture break,
a teacher could play it suddenly.
Isn't it a miracle?
No.
It has nothing to do with me.
It's Yao's idea.
You can ask him.
I know it's not you.
What did he do it for?
Why didn't he tell me directly?
He shouldn't hide it from me.
Why?
He felt pity for me?
Others won't make fun of me?
I don't need it.
What?
What did you mean?
He felt pity for you?
It was you who locked yourself at home.
Your room was smoking.
You didn't write any songs.
Your mental condition is getting worse.
We are worried about you.
So Yao had this idea to help you overcome,
and get some fresh air.
But I have artistic pursuit.
I taught kids to sing.
I, I I do it for a
change of pace,
and I can go to Where to go in the end?
What's wrong with the kids?
They are pure.
They don't care about your age,
payment and social status.
They only feel that
Mr. Hu, you are excellent.
Can you drop your pride
and stop being utilitarian?
As adults,
actually, we can learn a lot from kids.
It's enough of you.
Get out of the way.
[Youfeng Yard Chat Room]
[Tomorrow Morning at eight o'clock.
Don't forget old clothes and sun protection.]
[No problem.
Got it.]
[Got it.]
Yao.
Nana.
What's in your hand?
A tent.
When we get tired, we
play card games there.
Hu.
Why do you have a guitar?
If I have a sudden whim,
I'll sing a song.
Yao.
Don't you stop him?
It's good.
We can refresh by it.
How could you accept it?
Don't come to me for help.
I don't take the side of bad things.
See you later.
What did she say?
Take the side of bad things?
What did she mean?
What did she mean?
What was it?
What was it?
The orchard is ahead of us.
Enjoy the plum harvest today.
And enjoy daily country life.
What's wrong with him?
Something wrong with his brain.
I can hear you.
His ears are good.
Come on.
Mr. Hu.
Why did you take your guitar to the field?
I'm crazy.
Nana brought us her tent.
We'll find a space to
put up the tent later.
You can put your stuff in
when you take a break there.
I'm not lying to you.
Pick up in the orchard.
You can eat while picking.
Lunch is on me.
It's really true.
Your game of words.
Just for fun.
Rest if you're tired.
Is it for us?
- Yes.
- Yes.
I'll choose one.
- Yes.
- Yes.
My head may be too big.
Thank you so much.
It's so hot today.
Yao told you what
happened to my family.
So you came to help us.
You have yet to try orchard works.
It's exhausting
You don't have to pick too many of them.
We can do it.
Damai and I want to have a try.
Thanks. Thank you.
Well, guys.
Auntie Feng.
I'm going to pick with you.
Yao will take care of those who he took here.
Basket.
Don't mind. Auntie.
I'll tell them how to do it.
Okay. Thank you so much.
It's not a problem.
Thank you.
Let's go, auntie.
You know me, I am so considerate
that I prepared ice arm sleeves.
Xu Hongdou.
Pink is for you.
You can use it.
I thought what was in your bag was a snack.
You can get whatever you like here.
It's no need for a snack.
Except for sleeves,
I also prepared sun
protective clothing
for you, kind and gorgeous ladies,
in case of sun damage.
Which one?
It's nice of you.
Here, the last one
The prettiest one.
Hongdou, let's do it together?
Don't be shy. Take it.
Don't you work today?
I'm working now, to
solve villagers' problems.
Well, I will put up the tent first.
Hu.
Do you need me to put your guitar in the tent?
Hu. Let's go.
Hu.Here.
Try it. It's sweet.
I'm curious.
This thing,
it tastes sour.
But so why did they plant it?
You have no idea.
This kind of plum is
not eatable directly.
It's planted to make alcohol,
fruit preserves, or some dry fruits.
We can't eat it directly.
But you asked me to try.
Cause I've tasted how sour it is.
I can't be the only victim of it.
Ma. Hu.
Hurry up.
You should pick quickly
You were just keeping talking.
What?
Who needs to be quicker?
Have you heard
a story called the Hare and the Tortoise?
Endurance makes the man.
You will see it in the end.
I will see.
Do you think young ladies with healthy lifestyles
can't fight against a middle-aged man
who drinks every day
and doesn't take exercise?
What do you call me?
Don't you know I am a teenager?
Well, I didn't see the teen strengths in you.
If the wind comes,
you will be blown away.
Huang.
You should bring people together.
First of all,
I should make ladies stay together.
Say something back with facts
to accusations that are not true or logical.
Not true, nor logical?
Untrue accusations?
Ma. Do me justice.
Accusations?
What did I accuse of?
Huang is right.
Hu Youyu.
You are a black sheep.
Yu means a free fish.
Ma means a black sheep.
Homophone joke.
I know it.
Here's water.
You need water.
Thank you.
Easy. Take your time.
It's fine to rest.
This plum field of square kilos
is planted all by Uncle Chang?
Yes.
Auntie has hypertension.
Her heart is not good,
so she can't work here.
On his own, he watered and fertilized the field,
and sprayed pesticide.
He also planted
scallions and potatoes.
In all, it's about 4.67 square kilometers.
After working in the field,
he'd cut reeds to make brooms,
or used the husks for baskets.
He's never rested yet.
That's why he is sick now.
Didn't he hire anyone?
It costs to hire people.
For example, to pick plums,
labor payment is high.
At least 80 yuan per person.
But productivity differs.
The meal is included.
So villagers know what is happening,
they would come to help when available.
It's interesting, actually,
to experience the happiness of harvest.
But it takes work.
In short,
let's try our best.
Try our best.
Try our best.
Thank you.
Try our best.
♫ Stars in the sky ♫
♫ I pick some mushrooms ♫
♫ Mushrooms can fill the basket ♫
♫ I take out a pen ♫
♫ The pen leaks ink ♫
♫ What can I do ♫
♫ I have piles of mung beans ♫
♫ Mung beans are delicious ♫
♫ Gingers are tender ♫
♫ Tender gingers taste pungent ♫
Feng. Here's the dish
They must be hungry.
Are we safe?
Time to eat.
Easy.
Why do you come here?
Baoping doesn't know
how to drive an electronic tricycle.
So I have to come.
Gui cooked all dishes.
I only helped her.
I can't cook well.
I can only cook these easy dishes.
Not that good.
But it's delicious.
Uncharacteristically nice of you.
Did I hear the compliment for me?
You're being too humble,
so I have to say something good to you.
Enough of you.
Same as old times.
For half of our lives.
Gui's mouth is like a canyon shooting every day.
It's only distinguished when Feng comes.
I care about her heart.
Why do I feel it's so delicious?
It's great.
More rice? Anyone?
Damai. Here.
Boys and girls.
Here're spare ribs.
We've had too much.
It is.
You need to rest.
Yes.
We will add it by ourselves.
You should eat.
You should eat more.
Aunties.
Where are my mom and Aunt Gui?
They are picking plums there.
Make yourself at home.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Nothing. Just eat it.
I've been working.
I can't move at all now.
The old couple,
they are elderly now,
how can they be so energetic?
If you have a target, there's motivation.
You have motivation,
so you can have the energy to work.
Though your life is tough,
you can seek joy from it
Frankly,
it is all for
their son, Xie Qiang to live an easy life.
That's why they work so hard.
Right?
They should release the burden.
The children have their luck.
Only if they can think it through.
This is how their generation lives.
Yes.
A grassroots movement is established for it.
It helps them and makes them live better.
We'll help many people as we can.
Xinxin. Take it.
It's enough.
The ribs are amazing.
Really? Here's more.
I have one more to eat.
I'll eat this one later.
Why do you sit here?
The wind feels good.
You must be tired.
It's fine.
So What are you thinking?
I'm thinking about Auntie Feng.
Auntie Feng?
Her life is truly tough.
No one said it's not true.
Everyone lives under pressure now.
It's different.
When you still have another choice,
so it's manageable.
We can say it's hard.
But the words mean the same.
No, they are not.
Like us.
We are common people.
Our life is hard.
We still can find a bridge to cross the river
Right?
Some people eat hot pot and sing
to cross the river on a ship.
Their lives are easy, right?
But for Auntie Feng and Uncle Chang,
they are on the way to cross the river,
it's peaceful,
but they got a rising tide suddenly, right?
They were swept away by the flood
like ups and downs in their lives.
They almost got drawn,
but they didn't know where to go.
As you said,
it should be tougher.
But it is tough now.
Don't you think so?
I feel
it's not that tough.
Not tough? Really?
As you said,
what they've been through was tough.
But now,
it becomes hard.
We measured it differently.
So what is your standard based on?
You Put everyone on an axis
and compare the difficulty of their lives.
Easy.
Hard.
And tough.
There's a standard recognized by most people.
Everyone is born at different levels.
Someone is born at the next level
where others can't reach.
If they don't live with a silver spoon,
it's torture for them.
It's truly tough.
People feel and think differently about pain.
So how can you put them on the same axis?
No matter which level you are,
someone suffers more than you.
And someone lives better than you.
So as humans,
you should put you on the axis to compare,
with the old you,
future you.
There are many visions of you to compare.
You think Auntie Feng
have the good days now.
She's gone through
the most challenging chapter of her life.
So her life will be better.
Fruit desserts.
Yao asked us to do
the online agriculture live streaming.
One night, 10
thousand kilos are sold.
Huang introduced the program,
and Yao contracted it.
The pre-sale of our shop
is one thousand kilos.
The rest was driven
away by the truck Great.
If it was in the past,
it wouldn't have been sold at that price
or it wouldn't be thrown away.
It was.
The past is the past.
Everyone has hard days.
My family was the same.
Yang and Xi went to universities one by one.
Life expenses and tuition fees
drove me and Zeqing anxious.
Mom.
We've done eating.
Could you clean the table?
We're going to pick plums.
I'll join you later.
It's too heavy.
Give it to me. I'm coming.
I'll do it.
Come on.
I'm in.
Together.
Hold it together.
Slow down.
Take a break.
Feng.
What are you doing?
It's for Chang.
It's for the patient, not you.
Don't take him as patient
He's not seriously sick.
He passed out of anemia.
Isn't it serious?
You're wired.
I have too much to comment on.
You raised chickens.
You couldn't bear to eat them.
So you sold them all.
You could make money from the field,
and from part-time jobs.
You paid your debt a long time ago.
I can't understand
why two of you cut down so much
on your living expenses?
We save money to live better when we are old.
We don't need money.
As you just said, live
better when you're old.
Here's the point.
You have to live old enough
so you can use the money you've saved.
If both of you get sick before it,
you have to spend more money.
Don't feel sad about the loss of money?
You are so clever.
But you can't see the truth clearly.
Why do you cry?
I didn't say anything harsh.
No.
It's the wind.
I see.
It's because of the wind.
Now you stand
where the wind comes.
Come here. Come to me.
I'll clean the wind for you.
How are you?
Rub the wind.
Rub the wind.
Have a break.
Take a seat there.
Come on.
I haven't said thanks to you.
You took me to the hospital,
and came to help me today.
In the past, I wasn't
friendly to you.
I am sorry.
Now you admit it.
You were really bad to me.
Feng.
We've been like sisters for more than 30 years.
Don't you know me?
I can't think before I say it.
I always talk nonsense.
More than half of our villagers hate me for it.
But you know, I have
no bad intentions.
You kept saying
I like showing off.
It's right.
Sometimes, I do
like showing off.
But I have a reason to show up.
In our village,
my family was penniless years earlier.
We're not the poorest,
but we are the second poorest.
It's true.
We could build a new house
after Yang found a job after graduation.
I know.
No matter how I wanted to show off,
but I've never shown it to you.
It's true.
You know me well.
I had outworn underwear
inside my pants.
You should tell
me what you think.
How could I know it
if you didn't tell me?
You're smart.
But I have a one-track mind.
Do you think I am good to you?
If I harvest a pumpkin from my field,
I'll definitely cut half for you.
Whenever you harvested
scallions, potatoes,
apples and plums,
didn't I come to help?
I know you are nice to me.
Don't say sweet words.
I don't know if you're lying or not.
You said we've been like sisters
for over 30 years.
You know what kind of person I am.
I prefer to say nothing
rather than lying.
Right?
You're right.
Last time, you said I was jealous of you.
I talked nonsense,
because I was angry at that time.
But I was jealous of you.
Why?
Why?
Yang and Xi are outstanding.
I didn't do anything wrong.
But my life is full of pain.
I lost my daughter when
she was a teenager.
Now I only have one son.
I am worried.
Whatever he wants,
I'll try my best to get it for him.
Right?
He finally found a job.
A guard of warehouse was alright.
But the payment needed to be more.
I can send him money.
But I've never expected
he would go to steal.
I didn't teach him well,
so he was in prison.
It's for a long time.
I thought he had learned his lesson.
Right?
He'd become a good man.
But once a man made a mistake,
everyone won't think better of him.
No one in our village
will take care of him.
But if anyone loses anything or gets stolen,
they will think he does it.
Am I right?
Well It's really possible.
So my husband and I are thinking
if we can make more money
to make a down payment
of a house in the city.
He will be a driver or run a grocery.
Have a small business.
He can't stay at home anymore, right?
Feng.
Your life is tough.
For your whole life,
you've been living for your children.
Who is not living for the children?
Don't you?
When you were going to Qingdao,
you packed so many bags
that you can even open a shop.
It's because Yan and Xi are in Qingdao.
So I just
I didn't tell you, so
you don't know it.
Yang
is really terrible.
Every time he invited us to Qingdao,
saying come to eat seafood,
but when we were about to go,
something always happened to him.
This time, we've
booked flight tickets.
But he said his boss
asked him for a business trip.
What's wrong with the business trip?
It's common, isn't it?
What do you know?
Yang has to travel to work,
but Xi doesn't have to.
She's never invited us to go there first.
She is also terrible.
She thinks it's better
to go to Qingdao
when her brother is there too.
I've made up my mind.
If they invite me next time,
I'll never go to Qingdao.
It's fine if they don't come home.
They're always sending us money
if it is a festival.
But who cares about money?
We would save the money
and give back to them when they're back home.
Yes.
Don't drink this tea.
Look.
The tea leaves are not fresh.
Dump it out.
Try my tea.
Look,
Xi bought the tea for us.
A high-grade tea. It's expensive.
Enough. It's enough.
Why did I talk about the bad girl again?
The aroma.
It's good, right?
I'm fried now,
what can you record?
Are you tired now?
No.
Are you coming to pick tomorrow?
Kill me.
I won't come even if you kill me.
Mr. Hu.
He teaches us to sing.
Mr. Hu.
Nice to meet you, kids.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Hu.
Hi, guys.
See you, Mr. Hu.
See you, kids.
Bye.
- See you.
- See you. Mr. Hu.
They are so lovely.
Great. Mr. Hu.
You are a real teacher now.
A few days later,
I'll ask for an official position there.
A man like you can get it? In your dream.
I can't join you tomorrow.
I have to see a tea plantation in Fujian.
Have you found a partner?
From collage.
A bro who once shared a room.
But my budget is less.
And you're so annoying.
But he didn't abandon you,
you should be nice to him.
What is that supposed to mean?
As it is widely said.
A son never thinks his mother is ugly.
A dog never detests its home,
however shabby it is.
As it is widely said,
your words are pointless.
A man like you
will never get an official position.
But I have my students.
Morning. Damai.
Mr. Ma.
You're up so early.
Aren't you leaving today?
Yes.
I got up early
to sit in meditation and clear my mind.
I saw your lights on in your room.
You didn't sleep?
I was exhausted when we're back yesterday.
So I fell into sleep immediately,
and woke up around three a.m.
Then I kept writing.
How is it now?
The periodical fiction is about to end.
Then you can take a break for a while.
I can't.
Is it urgent to go back for a job?
It's not about the job.
I've decided to start a new book.
Really?
Yes.
I think, I like writing novels.
Sometimes I feel it is painful.
But the pain can inspire you.
It's hard to write a good novel.
But it seems that
it is hard no matter what you want to do.
If you find a job,
you have to be worried about KPI.
So I set myself free.
Right.
Never choose the easy path.
Choose the path you want to go.
So I learned it for you, Mr. Ma.
I know,
you had successful start-ups,
but you also had failures.
You made a lot of money.
Now you have to start from zero.
But you haven't given it up.
You have the courage
to start your journey again.
I
am disturbed easily by the world.
And I am utilitarian.
I'm worried every day
about what will happen in the future.
People like you
are fighting different challenges.
I have been worn out already
though I am only fighting with myself.
I am not supposed to be like this.
It's not about how you look now.
You know, on the battlefield
warriors are worn out, too.
Right?
It's not important.
What matters is
if you can stand up again in the end.
Only if you stand up to fight back,
you're a real warrior.
So I think,
we should learn from each other.
Though the wind is roaring,
the sun will always come out.
All we have in the future
is a good day.
Good morning.
Morning.
Is it Mr. Hu?
Are you going to pick?
I have nothing else to do.
I can have a free lunch.
Let's go.
Nana bought us some meat buns.
What's wrong?
Oh, my arms.
Girls.
Girls are weak.
Mr. Hu is putting on a funny show.
Let's go.
I'm asking Yao if he joins us.
No need to ask him.
He's heading for Old Town with Huang.
The owner of that unfinished guesthouse
is afraid to get into town
though he's back now.
I know it.
The guesthouse is broken.
It is.
But what to do with it?
Find someone to take it.
Hurry up.
Or we'll arrive late at noon.
