What can I do for you?
No, thank you.
Stop!
Sorry.
Stop there!
Here it is.
Thank you, young boy.
Do you want to live here?
-Yes. -Then do you know Xiaohulu's mom?
Who is Xiaohulu?
-Tuotuo! -Tuotuo!
Here she is.
We'll play at Guobao's home. Will you join us?
Yes. Wait for me.
Go on.
Take care.
Is anyone here?
Hello.
Do you know Xie Xiaochun?
Hello.
Are you Xu Hongdou?
-Are you Xie Xiaochun? -Yes.
Why did you come yourself?
I thought you should be arriving,
but you didn't call me
and I can't reach you.
Was it hard to find?
My phone broke.
I see.
Is that your case?
-Yes. -Let me help you move.
No, I can do it myself.
Come on. You've been moving for a while.
-It's heavy. -Yes, I agree with you.
Come on. One, two, three.
All right.
Let's go.
It's a large yard, right?
Yes.
Not one homestead forms it.
There are three.
Two years ago,
we rented the place and renovated it.
Then we turned it into a short-rent yard.
There are six rooms here.
Here's yours.
Room Five next door was occupied for five months.
They just checked out.
No one has moved in yet.
The other rooms are full.
If you want to renew your lease after three months,
tell me half a month in advance.
-Okay? -Okay.
Have a look.
Okay.
You have some packages.
I've collected them for you.
You can have a check.
Okay. Thank you.
Come, Hongdou. Let me give you a brief rundown.
Here's our public kitchen.
All appliances and cooking facilities
are available for public use.
There's a tearoom over there.
A utility room and a tool shed
are behind it.
It's pretty nice.
Let's go inside.
Here.
Here's our dining hall.
Passing through it,
there's a rest area.
If you encounter something or need help
when I'm not here,
you can go and ask Nana.
She's in Room One.
She's now at the café.
I'll introduce her to you later.
Okay.
Who is he?
He lives in Room Two. Just ignore him.
That's all for our yard.
Sure.
-Then I have to leave. -Thank you.
You're welcome.
A boy was running after a horse in the town.
He knocked off my phone and ran away.
Running after a horse?
What does he look like?
He's quite young, thin, and tall.
I know who he is.
He lives quite near, the neighboring lane.
Let me take you there.
-Thank you. -It's fine. Let's go.
-Watch out. -Okay.
Here.
Here we are.
Come on.
He lives here.
He has a grandma
and an older brother.
Excuse me.
Hello?
I see. I'll be right back.
Okay.
Hongdou, I can't go with you.
I have something urgent.
When you get in,
just go and find his brother.
I see. Thank you so much.
-I'll leave you to it. -Okay.
If you're free,
I'll treat you to coffee tomorrow.
Sure.
-See you then. -See you.
-Bye. -Bye.
There are so many horses, why Little Cutie?
You've just recovered from the last injury.
How can you let it escape this time?
Luckily, it didn't hurt anyone.
Otherwise, I'll break your leg.
How can you eat first?
Has she started?
Also,
go have a haircut.
Look at yourself!
Am I not handsome?
Cut it!
Grandma! Look at him!
It's time to eat.
Excuse me.
There wasn't a doorbell, so I just came in.
Are you a tourist?
Have you lost your way?
I came to find him.
Me?
He knocked into me while chasing his horse.
The horse ran into someone?
Not the horse!
The horse didn't bump into me.
He knocked into me while chasing the horse.
Then my phone was knocked off.
It's broken.
Your phone is broken?
You hid your mistake from me
and made her come to find us.
Do you only know how to bring me trouble?
No!
What a troublemaker you are!
Don't beat me! I know I'm wrong!
-Stop! -Forgive me!
-Stop! Don't move! -I'm sorry!
Forgive me! Help me!
Please forgive me!
-Stop there! -Don't!
Grandma! Help me!
Grandma!
The screen is broken
and you can't turn it on.
Do you want to fix it
or do you want a new phone?
Just fix it.
I have something important in it.
If it can't be fixed,
just give me half of the money
because I've used it for a year.
We have to fix it in the Old Town.
How long will you be here?
For a while.
It's my first day here.
Who brought you here?
Xie Xiaochun.
Xiaochun?
So you live in Youfeng Yard?
My name is Xie Zhiyao.
What's your name?
Xu Hongdou.
I still have work to do,
so I can't go with you.
-I'll find someone else. -It's okay.
I have to tidy my room first.
I can go myself tomorrow.
I'll show you the receipt, okay?
Sure. I'm sorry for that.
It's fine.
Wait for a second!
Xie Zhiyuan!
Come here.
Apologize to her.
Sorry.
-Be serious! -I'm sorry!
Don't force him. I've forgiven him.
We're so sorry.
-It's fine. -Sorry!
Don't beat him.
I didn't.
Did I beat you?
Grandma!
He pinched my neck and kicked my ass!
Look!
You're fine.
It hurts.
What does she want?
She wants to fix the phone first.
Or give her half of the money because she has used it for a year.
She's an honest girl.
Yes. She didn't ask for a new one.
He wouldn't even buy me a new phone.
I'm now using his old one. Stingy.
Why would a student need a new phone?
It lags when I play games. I get yelled at.
Don't play with those people.
So rude.
You won't get it.
Wait.
Don't bully him.
Eat up.
Hello? What's wrong?
How are the wood carving paintings?
How can machines be the same as humans?
Machine mold.
They make the boxwood mundane.
It's nothing unique.
Is it the result of your discussion?
Try some more.
Can't we eat peacefully?
Grandma, try this.
YOUFENG CAFÉ
Grandma Xiuying.
Please clean the horse's dung.
Hey.
-Yes? -You forgot to clean it again.
I forgot about it.
Forget it. I'll clean it.
Xiaochun, did you get her?
Yes. She looks kind.
What's her name and her job?
She's Xu Hongdou.
I didn't get her job yet.
Haven't you had lunch?
Damai and I tried making some steamed buns.
I'll bring some to Xiaxia.
-You don't need to worry about him. -It doesn't matter.
Look at it.
-Look at it! -Ying.
I don't know what you're doing every day!
-See! -What's going on?
His master has been scolding him.
He thinks he's idle.
Look.
How did I teach you?
Do you think you've become professional
after learning with me?
Do you think you're capable enough
so you have time to play?
It's my creation.
Your creation? With your skills?
Listen.
When I was your age,
many people fought to hire me!
Look at the door plank!
How long has it been?
Look at the flower!
Are you daydreaming?
I haven't finished it yet.
Fickle!
Fidget!
You only know to play with your phone and surf the Internet!
Your mind is not here!
How can you fly
without learning the basics?
I'm sorry, Master.
You're always well-mannered,
but you won't change.
Why are you staring at me?
Please keep calm. I'll tell you the truth.
The truth?
So you've only told me lies?
Fine.
Go ahead.
Come on.
Say it!
If wood carving can be sold, I promise I'll be serious.
You've worked on it for decades
and you're a state-level inheritor.
Your work, Follow Shape,
has been here for two years.
It has become the guardian here.
And the chair outside.
Everyone comes and touches it,
but no one buys it.
But numerous people come to see it.
-As long as our skills are-- -It's useless.
They only come to snap pictures.
It's already nice of them
to buy some small toys.
All your and others' works are all here.
It's hard to sell all of them.
You shouldn't have set up such a shop.
An online shop is the same without so many costs.
-You… -Xiaxia.
You're also here.
He's old, but he's still irritable.
No wonder he gets angry.
I also think you're lazy.
He's unhappy, so nothing satisfies him.
Wasn't it you who made him angry?
Not me. My fellow junior apprentice.
Forget it. It's boring.
What do you mean?
It's boring to stay here. Don't you think so?
I don't agree.
Is it better than Shanghai?
It has its own advantages.
So does Shanghai.
Don't kid me.
Why haven't you had lunch?
Here.
Your favorite soy milk.
Enjoy it.
OUR PROMISE
GOOD FOOD, GOOD FUN
GOOD VIEW
THE LIFE THAT I WANT?
GALSANG FLOWER RESTAURANT

It's pretty nice. Thank you.
Is it good?
Did you come alone?
Have you been here before?
No.
Is this your first time?
You made a perfect choice.
Our restaurant has been open for 20 years.
In the past,
it was the only restaurant here.
All the tourists who ate here
would come back again.
-Ma'am. -Yes?
Bill, please.
Can I use WeChat?
Yes. You can also use Alipay.
Scan here.
It's 58 yuan.
I think I should pay by card.
It's unavailable here.
We all pay by phone.
Are there any ATMs around here?
No.
Never mind.
Let me treat you to the meal.
-I can't do that. -It doesn't matter.
Do you know Youfeng Yard?
Yes. Do you live there?
I just arrived today and broke my phone.
I'll stay there for a few months.
I'll pay you back tomorrow.
Okay. It's not a big deal.
Otherwise, shall I leave my camera here?
No. There's no need.
Don't mind it.
-I'll come back. Okay? -Okay.
-Take care. -Thank you.
-Bye. -Bye.
The television station will come to the embroidery workshop tomorrow.
Xiaoyue will undertake it.
I'll send you their phone number.
Okay.
Mr. Xie.
We've asked logistics to come tomorrow morning.
All embroideries and goods for Xinjiang's intangible cultural heritage
will be sent tomorrow.
I'm just letting you know.
Can they come a bit later?
I want the program group to shoot
Ms. Xie's Seven Horses.
I'll handle it.
When will you and Zhang Xiaolan go to Xinjiang?
The day after tomorrow.
Ms. Zhang and her students can leave next week.
Okay.
Settle it this way.
Ye Sen. Where are the walnuts?
Here they are.
Hand them out.
Mr. Xie, you're here.
Yes.
Let's go.
Have a try.
Here you are.
Daxia, try some.
Are they from other provinces?
It's the specialty of Huang Xinxin's friend's village.
She wants us to help and sell them.
What do you think?
Not bad.
Crisp.
Full.
But we need to see its origin.
No problem.
Uncle Heshun.
Mr. Xie.
-Mr. Xie. -Hello, Mr. Xie.
Have some tea, please.
Sure.
Zhiyao.
I'm here to ask you
about the wood carvings
that the hotel wants.
I thought of telling you when it's settled.
Well…
My designer friend told me
that the owner of the art hotel
thought to hang a wood carving painting
at the doorway of each floor.
Anyway, he now decides
to hang a large-size wood carving painting in the hall
carved by you.
And the machine-made ones
for the rest of the floors,
so that he can cut costs.
So he only needs one?
Well…
Can others carve it?
As you're the inheritor,
of course he wants your work.
My apprentices also carve pretty well.
If it were in the past,
people who wanted to build houses
would have to wait in line to hire them.
I know.
Uncle Heshun, it's not determined yet.
I'll ask my friend
to make an appointment with him.
I'll try to communicate with him again.
Forget it.
Don't bother.
I don't want to beg others.
Just tell him…
Well…
Ask him to find someone else
to carve the painting.
I don't need it.
Wait. It's not begging him.
Business needs communication.
We need to persuade each other
by our own conditions.
I've never begged others in earning money.
I only depend on my skills.
I won't beg others.
Zhiyao, I'm not angry at you.
Don't mind me.
Forget the matter.
I have to go.
Don't leave so fast.
-Forget it. -Wait.
Excuse me, sir.
I want to ask the way.
Why are you here?
I'm just walking around.
Well, hello again.
It's easy to meet in a small place.
Are you going back to the yard?
Yes.
Walk along this way to the seaside.
And then, go along the highway near the sea.
You can see the village entrance.
I see. Thank you.
What's wrong?
Did you get bitten by a snake?
Why are you staring at it?
Haven't you seen it before?
I had never stepped on it before.
What about pulling your foot out of the manure first?
Is it your first time riding it?
Yes.
Take it easy.
Little Cutie is docile.
Zhiyuan hurt it with firecrackers.
That's why it doesn't like him.
Is it called Little Cutie?
It was tiny when it was born
and cute.
Thank you.
Don't mention it.
Stepping on cow dung is a good omen.
Maybe I could benefit from your luck too.
Did you come here after resigning?
How did you know?
You'll be here for three months.
Which firm lets you rest for so long?
How did you know it's three months?
That's the minimum requirement for Youfeng Yard.
Right.
Did you break up or are you feeling lost?
Why do you ask so?
It's either love or business.
People always care about them.
Youngsters in big cities are always like this.
They think they are under huge pressure.
They work more but earn less.
And their boss is a fool.
Though they complain every day,
few people resign.
Do you know why?
Why?
Because they still need to find another job.
No job, no money.
No money, no future.
Well…
Can raising horses support your family?
Yes.
We have houses and lands and they are low-cost.
My grandma grows vegetables
and sells goods in a booth.
She can earn dozens a day.
Even if I do nothing,
her money is enough to support us all.
So how old is she?
She's 80 years old this year.
The sun is going down.
JUST A GROCERY STORE
-Take it. Be careful. -Thank you.
Watch out.
Sit there.
Xiaoqin.
Slippers, please.
Zhiyao.
Is she your girlfriend?
Are you kidding?
She's just a visitor.
How can she ride Little Cutie?
You didn't allow me to ride last time.
Choose one.
This one, please.
Does it suit you?
Yes. How much is it?
You guys are friends, so I won't charge you much. It's 25 yuan.
-Ten yuan. -Then I can earn nothing!
Fine, ten yuan.
Why are you paying for it?
Her…
What does it have to do with you?
Let me remove the tag for you.
Thank you.
Zhiyao!
That's so impolite!
According to the clan rank,
you should call me Uncle Zhiyao.
Uncle? It's the modern world.
We don't say that anymore.
And you're not my real uncle.
Your shoes.
See you.
Hold on.
For you.
Thank you so much.
Come and play when you're free.
Bye.
Zhiyao, I'll go to find you tomorrow.
Okay.
Hello. Have you eaten?
Not yet. You're just back?
Yes. Where are you going?
I'm picking up my grandma.
I see. Take care.
You're not used to it?
Guanjun.
Grandma.
Think of your eyes. Don't embroider in the dark.
Why are you so late?
She has been waiting here for a while.
Is she your friend?
A new tenant of the yard, Xu Hongdou.
-Hello. -Are you staying here for a long time?
I'm here at six o'clock every evening.
-The barbecue is right here. -Okay.
Let me help you.
Sure.
It's a good boy. It won't kick you.
Let me help you.
Try some.
-No, thank you. -It's fine.
Thank you.
Let's go.
I don't know how to lead it.
Just walk.
If not, Grandma can do it.
-Let me. -Never mind. I can do it.
Let's go.
How much did you earn today?
Over 100 yuan.
That's a lot.
Beef and mutton ribs.
Okay.
-Grandma, let me wash it. -Goodness.
I can do it.
Go have some tea.
Go. Rest for a while.
Xu Hongdou.
-Help me serve the dishes. -Okay.
They're homemade dishes. Enjoy.
Thank you.
Don't you need to wait for Zhiyuan?
Ignore him. Maybe he's playing outside.
Zhiyao.
Aunt Baoping.
We're inside!
She's our neighbor.
Aunt Xie.
My relative had a wedding, so I stewed some beef
and brought some to you.
Beef? Great!
We have a guest, but no decent dish.
-Hello. -Hello.
A new tenant of the yard.
Baoping.
Come and eat with us.
Our meal is ready too.
Xiaochun went to call Xiaohulu.
I'm going back.
Try some. It's still warm.
Thank you.
Have your meal.
-I'm off. -Thank you.
I'm going.
Aunt Baoping.
Let me see you off.
Try some.
Don't wait for him.
Thank you.
Aunt Baoping.
What's going on?
I hope you can persuade Xiaxia.
Here's the thing.
He's quite impulsive and lazy at work now.
He made his master angry again.
He refused to hear Xiaochun's comments
and they quarreled at home.
Youngsters always fidget.
They all love to play, right?
As Uncle has lectured him,
you shouldn't scold him again.
I know.
But he's different this time.
He told me his friend in Shanghai
invited him there,
so he wants to go.
When did he have such a friend?
I don't know.
He's on his phone to watch videos or chat every day.
I don't mean to forbid him to play.
I'm just afraid he won't come back.
Did he tell you that?
No.
But I know him well.
He told me two days ago
that his master's latest apprentice
wanted to leave.
Another one wants to leave?
Yes.
Doors and windows are carved by machines now.
Even senior craftsmen have fewer jobs now.
Many students decide to leave.
The rest become more and more unsettled.
I see. Okay.
Take it easy, Aunt Baoping.
I'll talk to Xiaochun first.
Then I'll ask Xiaxia.
Sorry for troubling you again.
Don't mention it.
Then I'm leaving now.
Don't forget tomorrow's issue.
I won't.
That's good. See you.
I'll leave you to eat.
-Be careful. -Okay.
-Take care! -Okay!
That's it.
I just want to tell you that my phone is broken.
I'm dining at my friend's home.
Mom.
My vacation is on from tomorrow.
Nothing. Just resting.
Mom, I have to hang up.
I need to return the phone.
That's all. Bye.
Let me send you back.
No, it's quite close.
I can go by myself.
Do you have cash?
No.
Take it. This is for urgent needs.
Thank you. I'll pay you back.
Let's talk after your phone is fixed.
Let's go.
I need to go to Galsang Flower Restaurant.
Are you still hungry?
No. I had lunch on credit.
I'm going to pay it back.
What's the rush?
It's so I could be at ease.
Fine.
Watch your steps.
