Mr. Xie. Xiaochun.
We just mentioned you.
You were talking about me? What did you say?
That you're kind and active.
Come out. I have something to say.
Can't I hear it?
Come on.
What made you so happy?
It's a piece of great news.
You found a rich man?
Bingo.
But whether we can make 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 want to eat the braised chicken from 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 three floors.
It's exquisite and literary.
It's 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 opened one in Yunmiao Village?
Of course.
The bookstore on Qingcheng Mountain is about to open.
And many travel bloggers want to visit there.
And all the homestays around Qingcheng Mountain are full.
Qingcheng Mountain?
What's their specialty?
Bai Suzhen.
So they sell snake soups in the coffee shop?
So childish.
The main dish is not here yet.
Don't just eat the milk cakes. Stop.
I like it.
You'll fart if you eat too much.
Enough nonsense.
I don't understand what you just said.
What is it about?
So there is a bookstore
and there will be one here, right?
I have a close friend
who is a classmate of the founder.
I asked him to introduce me to the founder.
I introduced him to the situation of Yunmiao Village.
He is very interested,
so he wants to scout the place.
To scout?
-Then that's not settled. -Hey.
Don't say that.
My friend said,
if he wasn't that interested,
he wouldn't be coming here himself.
He would send his assistant here.
He made the first step forward.
Shouldn't we finish the rest?
So we should prepare in advance.
I'll greet him
and let him know about 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 greet him.
I've never received leaders before.
Only leaders can receive leaders.
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 Huailan make some clothes for us to wear when greeting 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 Xiaogezi.
It's specially made for him, very beautiful.
There is embroidery on the collar.
Only one in the world. No other pieces are available.
Yes. They wore it 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.
-Here's the braised chicken.
-Over here. -Over here.
Enjoy it.
Thank you, Aunt Hua.
You're welcome.
I'll have a try.
You kept Ms. Xie's work
to open an exhibition for her?
Craftsmen like Ms. Xie with more than ten years of experience
have incredible works.
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 Old Town when she was 18.
She met a Frenchman.
The Frenchman was a painter who came to China to visit.
He fell in love with Ms. Xie at first sight
and invited her to be his model.
The painter painted many portraits of 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 said,
"I love you.
If you love me, just stay here."
That Frenchman kept silent.
Ms. Xie said,
"Don't ask me to do what you can't do
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 and 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 have walked this way.
Yang Xu.
Zhiyao.
Who is she?
My friend.
This is Tuotuo's dad.
Hello, Tuotuo's dad.
Hello.
When will you leave?
Soon.
My wife went to rent a house.
Does Tuotuo know you won't take him?
I'm hiding it from him.
He'll cry if we tell him.
He'll be unhappy.
There's nothing we can do about it.
All right.
-Let's have a meal before I go. -Okay.
I shall leave now. Bye.
What's wrong?
It's nothing, let's go.
Tuotuo, eat more
or you can't eat it when you go to Kunming.
Kunming?
Who said Tuotuo is going to Kunming?
His parents will go there.
But Tuotuo doesn't want to.
He can't do anything about it.
Don't worry, Tuotuo.
Your parents won't take you with them.
You can stay here with your grandparents and go to school.
Uncle Guanjun, you're lying.
I'm not.
Your dad told me about it.
You'll go to school here like Huzi.
The four of you will stay together.
Don't worry.
Really, Dad?
Really?
Yes.
What's wrong, Tuotuo?
Why are you crying?
Okay, don't cry.
What's wrong?
What's wrong, Tuotuo?
You'll stay together, right?
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.
There should have been an employee manual before.
That girl is so nice.
Don't just hear the advantages Baoping said.
Why 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.
Then is this manual good or bad?
It's hard to say.
We just need to work hard.
Is Xu Hongdou working in the café?
Xiaochun said she is a volunteer.
People living in the yard are not normal people.
They got bored living in cities,
so they came to relax here.
Even Nana won't be able
to live here for a long time.
The youngsters in the village are moving to the cities.
Right.
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.
The same goes for Huzi.
When his parents came back for the Spring Festival,
he didn't acknowledge them.
It's not like that.
Mr. Xie and Xiaochun are both 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 developed well,
people would 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
about Mr. Xie and Xu Hongdou at home?
What is it?
Yes. What is it?
My grandma told me,
Mr. Xie listens to whatever she says.
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.
Zhiyuan won't come back.
His homework is piling up,
so he needs to study.
Grandma,
are you listening to me?
What are you thinking?
Zhiyao.
Tell me the truth.
You asked Xu Hongdou to help me
and invited her to eat at home.
Do you like her?
She thinks you look like her grandma,
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.
You said nothing much to her.
You treat Xu Hongdou differently.
You also bought rice noodles for her.
That's the condition I offered her to be a volunteer.
Meals included.
Meals included?
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 has been playing with the cat every day.
I guessed she liked animals.
When you look at her,
even your eyes are smiling.
He smiles at everyone.
He is happier when he meets you.
I'm a volunteer.
If I were him, I'd be happier than him.
Can a man and a woman together only be a couple?
I'm not here to find a boyfriend.
No. It's not like that.
Don't think too much.
I just think she is nice and kind.
But she'll go back soon.
Don't think too much.
I like her.
That 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 anymore.
Don't do anything.
Wait. Someone is calling.
Hello, Mr. Ma.
What's wrong?
I'm helping my grandma.
Okay, see you later.
Let's go.
Go.
Okay.
I should water the succulents today.
Why isn't he sitting there today?
That's strange.
Jiahui.
Why do I feel this is…
Go ahead.
It's good tea.
Give me some next time.
Sure.
Mr. Xie.
I came here
to ask you something.
Say it.
Where do young men go
when they are dating?
The café.
Where do they go when they discuss work?
The café.
Where do they go
when they want to chat and start a business?
Is this some kind of brainteaser?
Still the café.
Why not go to the teahouse?
Tea is good.
And in China,
there are more people drinking tea.
Well…
Won't you 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 stayed 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.
I can't suppress them.
I sit there every day
and meditate
to let go of all the ideas.
If I can't let them go,
I'll take the brush and write them on the rice 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 becomes.
The more I think, the more concrete it is.
When I close my eyes every day,
I would think about
how to position and market
-a new tea shop-- -Then how to finance,
open branches, and enter the market.
I haven't reached that point.
I was just thinking about
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 cafés, why can't there be tea shops?
I've made my research.
Now, some new tea shops
are 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,
so 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
do 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.
It should be rejuvenated.
Tea culture must spread to 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 them.
If you are interested, 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.
Do you think I can start this business?
I no longer do investment evaluations now.
I know that.
But you don't like my projects or invest money.
It turns out my judgment was right.
And this one?
Have you ever thought about
why you chose this among so many ideas?
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 give it a try.
You won't discourage me?
When 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,
be it a success or failure.
About this, I should learn from you.
That's right.
Okay, that's a deal.
I'll make the plan, you find the investment.
Okay.
Nice.
First of all,
I want to build a research and development team.
I may need some funds at the beginning.
Of course.
Yes.
But I have no money.
Why are you looking at me?
I have no money either.
You…
You're a boss…
What are you doing?
You're blaming me?
You sold your house in Beijing to pay your debt.
Don't mention that.
Drink the tea.
Tea culture?
-Is he in this class? -No.
The class behind him. He's not out yet.
You haven't seen him for half a year?
Yes. I don't know if I can recognize him.
-Here he is. That class. -Really?
Gather here, kids.
-Keep order. -Huzi!
Huzi!
It's me, your mom!
He doesn't know what to do now.
It's me, your mom!
He dare not 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 have Huzi.
Come on, I'll wash it.
It's okay, I'm almost finished.
Why are you crying?
I'm fine.
What's wrong? Tell me about it.
Did something happen?
Mom, don't think too much.
I'm fine.
Really? Then why are you crying?
I went to pick Huzi up today.
He didn't recognize me
and 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 your tears.
Don't take it seriously.
Huzi is still little.
When he grows 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 brings 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 the flavor for you.
Is it delicious?
Aunt Gui.
Try these egg cakes.
Aunt E gave me these.
No, I'm busy. You can eat it.
Forget it. I'll try some.
Just a second. Wait for me.
Take your time. Be careful.
Be careful.
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.
The eunuch is anxious, instead of the emperor.
You're at most a maid.
The eunuch isn't here yet.
You didn't sleep well?
Don't mention it.
My sister called me at midnight.
She asked me to send birthday blessings to my mom at the exact time.
Then I couldn't fall back asleep,
so I watched a movie.
Your sister is so strange.
Doesn't she sleep?
No, not before one.
Goodness. She's that busy with work?
No.
She plays with her phone for two hours before going to sleep.
Retaliatory entertainment.
What a 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.
All About Comedy, okay?
That's a comic dialogue.
Okay, enough.
Let's be serious.
We're here to 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 to 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 the villagers.
Xiaohuang can act in it.
People can follow Xiaohuang to experience the interesting items,
the natural scenery, delicious food,
and some intangible cultural heritage arts.
Wait.
Why me?
Because you're active, cute,
and 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 this theme?
Explain it.
This yard is called Youfeng Yard
because we hope everyone who lives here
finds the power of happiness in life.
The essence of wind is the flow of air.
The 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 cold,
they will go to warm places
to look for the power of happiness, beauty,
and starting again.
Xiaohuang, do you have any questions?
I think it's a good idea,
but the budget in our village…
Don't worry.
I'll find an investment.
That's exactly what I want.
Then that's a deal.
Ye Sen.
It's your turn.
I need to think about it.
Haven't you prepared?
I wanted to brainstorm here.
Why did you bring a laptop?
It's just a tool for the meeting.
Right, Xu Hongdou?
No, I'm prepared.
You're just a consultant.
Yes, so I didn't prepare much.
Just about ten points.
I'm worried 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 become a chat session.
Shut up.
Hongdou, just say it.
I'm thinking,
our online shop sends 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.
I was just thinking about it.
Grandma Xie.
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 look at your phone under the blanket,
will you be blind?
You look at the computer under such a bright light,
will you be blind?
I think you'll be blind sooner.
Just play with me.
I'm talking with you.
Is talking also a way of playing?
Grandma Xie.
What do you like to do when you are not working?
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 couldn't even be full or wear warm clothes.
Be it an adult or a child,
they were all starving.
They just work for food.
I liked to sing when I was young.
Zhiyao'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 was so beautiful.
Zhiyao had
an uncle before.
But his lips were purple when he was born.
When he was five years old,
he couldn't breathe
when he was running.
The hospital told us there was a hole in his heart.
It's congenital.
The hospital couldn't cure it.
We had no medical insurance. It's not as advanced as now.
We borrowed a lot of money
and we hadn't paid off the money we borrowed for our wedding.
At that time, Zhiyao's dad was just a baby.
So
I had to work hard.
This is my whole life.
I never played.
Grandma Xie.
Wait for me. I'll fetch something.
Wait for me.
I didn't master it yet. Again.
-Again. -Okay, again.
Again.
I'll choose the blue one.
You cheated.
Grandma Xie, this is a technical problem game.
This is not mahjong.
How do I cheat?
Lunch will be ready in ten minutes.
What are you playing?
Saving the Penguin.
I just got it
and wanted to give it to Tuotuo.
Why is Grandma unhappy?
She lost.
She cheated.
Grandma Xie, you can't cheat when playing this.
Or you can play with Zhiyao.
Okay, come on.
Come on.
Which color do you want?
I want red.
White.
I'll knock it first.
See? You're experienced now.
Again.
Grandma Xie.
You're a master now.
-Again. -Okay.
Did you two cheat?
This is a technical problem game.
This is not mahjong.
How do I cheat?
It must be Hongdou.
Can't you afford to lose?
You cheated and taught Grandma to cheat.
She is angry because I told the truth.
-You're more and more like Grandma. -You!
I won't play with you two.
Let's have lunch.
You're such a sore loser.
He can't afford to lose.
He became anxious.
You finally have a few months of vacation.
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.
Goodness.
You were brainwashed by him.
Capitalists are good at brainwashing.
Do you need his meal?
Or does he offer you any feast?
Yes, it's delicious food.
Those who can brainwash Hongdou are not ordinary people.
She is a volunteer this time.
We need to save her from a pyramid scheme next time.
That's great, my sister.
Then I can be brainwashed without hesitation.
I won't be angry with whatever you say.
Just say what you like, I'm not angry.
You made much progress.
I'll say,
you should go out there and relax.
Your mind will be broadened, right?
Mom.
I sent you the fried termite mushroom oil
and dried boletus
made by Grandma Xie.
Remember to receive it.
How do I eat that?
I'll send you the recipe.
I have to go and eat something.
It's ready.
Do you eat supper?
You'll be fat.
Thank you for your blessing.
Bye.
Okay. Sleep early.
Bye.
-Is it ready, Hongdou? -Yes.
I'll ask if Damai will eat with us.
Watch the pot.
Nana.
