It's so outrageous in your village.
This is totally a rumor,
but it's like the truth in their mouths.
The next rumor would be our one-month-old kid.
This is the countryside.
Today the topic is you, tomorrow is someone else.
They are credulous.
Everything changes after being passed here and there.
The kids went to the yard to see you.
What a good chance to refute!
Why didn't you explain?
What can I say?
They would know who I am then.
What's your logic?
You were so angry when Zhiyuan wronged you
that you even tried to beat us.
You are exaggerating.
Now you have the chance to explain, but you don't.
What's there to explain?
I'm leaving soon.
-We're here! -Hey!
-Over here! -I brought Damai.
Come here, sit down.
Guanjun, two Cokes.
-Okay. -It's not ready yet.
What are you talking about?
We are talking about what can I do when Xu Hongdou leaves.
What? Just do what you need to do.
Hongdou, are you leaving?
Not now.
Then what does he mean?
You don't know what happened between me and Xie Zhiyao?
What happened to you two?
Xu Hongdou!
It sounds like you are making rumors yourself.
What rumor?
Now the rumor goes
that Hongdou is Mr. Xie's ex in Beijing.
Now she has come back to him.
They not only reunited
but are going to get married as well.
-Then are you going to get married? -What do you think?
I think you can.
Both of you are qualified to get married.
Why?
You're both single.
I didn't know until you told me.
It sure is.
That's true!
There's a genre in romance fiction
called "getting married before falling in love."
Many people love it.
It's quite sweet.
Stop sighing.
Things will get better after I leave.
Be tough.
How could you leave?
If you leave, they will say
that Mr. Xie's girlfriend abandons him again
because of the countryside lifestyle.
That makes sense.
Hey, Xu Hongdou.
You are so bad!
How will I find a girlfriend later?
Listen,
if a woman dislikes you just because you were put away by others,
then she doesn't deserve your love.
-That makes sense. -Right?
Here.
CHAMPION TREE BARBECUE
This is extra spicy.
This one is normal.
And these are the ones without spice.
Thank you, sir.
If you are married to Zhiyao someday,
you are free to eat here.
Really?
I don't have this benefit, but she has!
Mind your own business.
It's on me.
I won't go to the store tomorrow.
Why?
-I'll go out. -With who?
Them.
Tomorrow is my day off too.
Damai always stays at home.
No one could ask her out.
Now she's the one asking to go out.
Of course we have to entertain her.
Okay, fine.
DIY FRESH FLOWER LIPSTICK
This color is not bright enough.
It's too simple.
Then let's make a silver version. It's better in quality.
What about hollow?
The paper tape is hollowed.
The box is still simple.
-I'll make a sample and show you. -Okay.
Hello.
What is it?
Okay, calm down. I'll be right there.
-What's wrong? -It's okay, I'll be right back.
-Give us money! -Give us money!
-No, listen to me.
Calm down.
This is going to be settled sooner or later.
It would be of no use even if you ruin this.
You suddenly shut down the project
and delayed our wages by two months.
Now we can't see our boss. What can we do?
Your boss called me.
He is raising funds.
Fine, then ask him to pay us.
-Right? -Yes! Pay us! We have to eat!
-Shouldn't the committee take charge? -You went to the committee.
You should know the secretary and director are out for a meeting today.
We are not ignoring you.
Just give us the money!
It is natural to pay back debts!
-Pay us! -Pay us!
Okay. Here.
Thank you.
-Pay us! -Pay us!
-Stop talking nonsense! -Mr. Xie!
-Pay us! -Mr. Xie!
Hold on, everybody.
Zhiyao is here, listen to him.
Why are you surrounding Xiaohuang?
Don't shout at a girl.
Let's settle the problem first.
Come on, have a smoke.
Come on, have a cigarette.
See?
I stopped doing everything and ran here as soon as I got your call.
Let's settle the problem.
Don't be angry, okay?
Zhiyao, the boss went away.
But he didn't pay us the money.
Okay, as for the wages, I'll settle it.
The boss has invested millions in this homestay.
The rest is worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.
A monk may run away, but the temple remains.
Yes, do you see how much this and your wage is?
No one can leave this alone.
Then pay us first.
-Yes, just pay us! -Yes.
Where's the money?
-Give us the money! -Fine.
Wait.
Zhiyao.
You led us to build this homestay.
-Yes. -Huang Xinxin is the guarantor.
You can't stay away from this.
Actually, we would quit if we were not paid for a month.
But the boss was quite nice to us.
We understand his difficulty.
We kept working even though he delayed our wages.
Now, even if he really is raising funds,
then how long should we wait?
Should we accept other jobs or not?
Should we keep on waiting?
No one gives us an answer.
You are right.
The project of the homestay near the airport was higher in pay.
You told us that this is near to our home
and we could go back home if we chose this.
And that it would be good for our village in the future.
We listened to you.
But the boss ran away now.
We didn't even get paid.
What should we do?
Believe me.
Xiaohuang and I will settle this right away for you.
I will find you later in the evening to solve this, okay?
I know what you are thinking about.
You are all right.
But we can't solve this by just standing here together.
Okay? We have to find a solution to pay you the wages.
Are you okay with this?
Zhiyao is the boss.
So he is good at speaking for the bosses.
Now he is just cheating us back
and shutting our mouths up.
People are here to get their wages back.
Why would it be shutting your mouth?
No matter which way you use to seek your wages,
you still have to wait.
Then give us the money now!
You silly boy!
Sir.
Is it Zhiyao or the committee that owes you?
Don't kick him.
He did his work but didn't get his money.
He is not feeling good. I can understand.
Yes. I would be angry too if it was me.
Just go back home.
Go home.
Don't stay here. It's so hot.
You'll still get your wage for today, okay?
Okay? Just wait for the notice.
Let's go home.
Let's go, guys.
Wait for the notice.
Let's go.
Take a cigarette.
Come on, let's go.
Wait for the notice.
Here.
Take a cigarette.
Zhiyao.
I believe in you.
Take it easy.
It's such a coincidence.
The secretary and director were both away.
I called the director
and he told me to take a look at the site.
No one listened to me when I arrived.
I just have one mouth.
How could I persuade so many people?
I feel dry and thirsty to death now.
What's wrong with the boss?
Did he really go bankrupt?
I called him.
He said he was raising funds.
He has spent so much on this.
Even if he really went bankrupt,
he should come back and try to sell the house.
It's not easy to sell.
If Shaohua Bookstore was here, it would be easier.
When will your senior who learns photography come?
She said she would be here after a shooting.
Okay.
Where is your Xu Hongdou?
She's playing outside.
Wait. "My Hongdou"?
You're getting married, don't you know?
I don't know.
SWALLOW'S NEST
Xiaoqin.
SWALLOW'S NEST
What's wrong?
Your dad scolded you again?
Scanning through WeChat.
Zhiyao.
You said the messages about you getting married were rumors.
Is that true?
Yes.
Call me Uncle Zhiyao.
Then can you marry me?
Of course not.
Why not?
You think I have a low educational background
and no skills, right?
Xiaoqin.
When I was in middle school, you were just a little girl.
I held you at that time.
Then I started working and gave you gift money each year.
Remember?
Some men just like younger girls.
Some male stars are 12 years older than their wives.
Right, Xinxin?
Yes.
But Zhiyao likes girls his age.
They can share topics.
What topic?
We can share everything after being together.
A common topic is not something related to time.
It's a spiritual thing.
I don't understand.
Zhiyao, I'll give you one last chance.
If I learn embroidery, will you consider me?
No.
Fine, then I won't consider you either.
Someone is pursuing me.
By the way, call me Candy!
Bye, Candy.
Candy?
I told Daxia to check and send me
all the sites under construction around our village.
We can ask each of them.
Okay, let's go.
Youyu.
I'm here.
Come on. Welcome!
-Hello! -This way, please.
Here.
Let me introduce you guys.
They are the three beauties of our courtyard.
Nana, Hongdou, and Damai.
-Hello. -This is my friend, Xiaomaque.
She and her husband are the bosses of this bar.
We come here when we have a party.
It feels good to drink and boast here.
Okay, have fun. I'll prepare back there.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
What would you like to drink?
Here, let me serve you the cocktail.
-Enjoy. -Thank you.
-You're welcome. -Come on.
-Cheers. -Cheers.
That day in 1994
The first day you came to this world
The rain stopped
Your father gave you the name
Called Zhou Qingtian
Days passed
You grew up
You experienced ups and downs
It will all pass
You are only 28 years old after all
You will live a great life later
Zhou Qingtian
It will all be sunny days in your future
You are only 28 years old after all
You will live a great life later
Zhou Qingtian
It will all be sunny days in your future
Happy birthday to you
-Happy birthday. -Happy birthday.
Come on.
-Make a wish. -Right.
-Happy birthday! -I didn't blow out my candles yet.
Let's blow it together.
One, two, three.
I saw your identity card.
We wanted to give you a birthday party,
but we didn't expect you to ask us first
and didn't tell us anything.
So Hongdou and I decided
to just let it be and pretend to know nothing about it.
And then give you a big surprise.
-I am surprised. -Damai, happy birthday!
Thank you, Mr. Hu.
No worries. It's my honor.
Thank you, Mr. Hu.
Don't say thank you.
We live in the same yard.
You're welcome.
To Mr. Hu.
Bottoms up.
Goodness.
You…
Then I will finish this too.
Then I'll call the workers here tomorrow.
-Thank you. -Okay.
We are short on casual labor anyway.
I'll confirm again. The pay is by day, right?
Yes, by day.
-Okay. -Good.
You don't have to send us.
-You can continue working. -Okay.
Then take care.
Bye, take care.
Thank you, bye.
Okay, I'll treat you to lunch.
I'm good.
I will send you back.
Those three are drinking outside.
I have to pick them up.
Okay.
I dedicate "Again in Retrospect" to my friends.
Hongdou, what will we look like when we are old?
Like an old woman.
No, I mean will we still eat fruits
and play together like this when we are old?
Of course.
We can go to Tian'anmen Square to watch the flag raising.
Then I'm going to go disco dancing until I get a fracture.
I will buy calcium pills for you.
I can buy hair dye for you.
I'll buy you a walking stick.
I'll buy you an electric wheelchair.
You are so generous!
Your grandson's tuition is on me.
You're so generous, Grandma Hongdou.
Then I'll say thank you to Zheng Xiaobao.
Zheng Xiaobao?
You two have just been together for two weeks.
Zheng Xiaobao?
Aren't you shy?
You are so bad! Don't laugh!
You can't laugh!
Stop talking nonsense.
I didn't. That's the truth, okay?
I don't allow you to say that.
-No! -Go away!
No!
You're so good!
This is mine.
-Yours? -This is mine, yes.
I was sitting there.
I think…
I think you two can be a duo.
You can be called Spicy Soup!
What Spicy Soup?
Nana in our accent is Lala.
We can't differentiate "na" and "la".
So I think apart from Spicy Soup,
Hula Hoop also works for you two.
Damai, are you drunk?
Stop drinking.
I'm not.
Mr. Hu.
What?
I felt that you were a bad guy before.
But I'm sorry for that.
-I'll drink this. -No…
Don't drink it. I can drink it.
That quick?
She just said I was bad
and she is drunk now?
She is drunk.
Damai.
Mr. Xie.
Where? The parking lot, right?
Okay.
I'll hang up.
Damai.
-We're going. -Hello.
Are you that singer, Nana?
I'm not, you got the wrong person.
Sorry.
It's okay.
What's wrong with her? She's drunk?
Yes, she is drunk.
Mr. Xie is in the parking lot.
-It's done. -I will pay the bill.
I've already paid.
-I'm so sorry about that. -Why?
-Go on. -Okay.
What about Damai?
-Come. -I'm not drunk.
You're not?
-Okay, you're not drunk. Let's go. -That's good.
Xie Zhiyao is here. Let's go.
Why did he come to pick us up?
-We can't drive after drinking. -Take care of her.
-Watch out. -I will follow after you.
My dad doesn't allow me to find a boyfriend out of town.
Okay.
Why is she like this when she's drunk?
Every Spring Festival when my relatives gather at home,
they said they would find me a husband
and make me have two babies.
Two babies!
-I don't even have a boyfriend. -Slow down.
-Two babies?
-Be careful! -My aunt is ridiculous.
She was crazy.
-She took that guy to my home. -Here.
-This way. -My goodness.
Be careful.
-I just woke up without washing my face. -Mr. Hu, this way.
-I'm fine. I'm alive. -In the sitting room,
there was a guy in his business suit with a tie.
He was like a sales manager.
-Why did she drink so much? -What happened?
-Nana said the cocktail was strong. -He was standing there.
I just woke up without brushing my teeth.
How could I have romantic love?
Your aunt was ridiculous.
Let's get in the car first. Get in.
But you need to hang out to date.
Each time we hung out,
we would always go to the milk tea shop.
It was from July to August, so hot.
Mr. Hu!
-Get in the car. -Do you know?
We went to the milk tea shop each time we hung out.
It was so hot in July and August!
Xu Hongdou.
Get in the car.
Get in.
I had nothing to talk about with him.
Do you know what he said to me?
He said he earned 10,000 a month.
Then he asked me how much I earned by writing online.
I said 10,000 too.
-Guess what he said next. -Nana.
-He said… -Fasten her seatbelt.
-Okay. -"Give me your account."
Xu Hongdou.
-Fasten your seatbelt. -How could I?
-Why should I? -Seatbelt.
It's ridiculous.
Fortunately, I was ready for that.
Didn't you know that Xu Hongdou is drunk too?
Then play Truth or Dare with her!
We haven't gone that far, you know?
We just met and chatted.
We would just be friends, right?
Do you know what he said to me?
He said that I could move to his place when the day is good.
Why should I live with him?
He said he would give me half of his closet for my clothes.
We just met, okay?
Yes.
You have to rain!
I want rain for a whole year!
Do you hear me?
Mr. Hu.
There's a plush toy in the back seat.
Pass it to me.
Okay.
It's okay.
Why do you have this in your car?
Xiaohulu left it.
Come on.
My mom likes girls
-who don't do makeup like you. -Here.
Let me sing a song.
I laughed.
Then I bought a model kit.
Guess how much it was.
It's 2,800 yuan.
That's so expensive!
Really?
It's just a model kit of 2,800 yuan. Is it expensive?
-Just a little model kit. -She's crying?
Play Truth or Dare with her.
What Truth or Dare?
-You scared me. -You don't know.
That man wanted to break up with me.
He even asked me for the milk tea money.
-What? -I know!
-Milk tea? -He used a coupon to buy me milk tea.
-Do you know? -He didn't pay.
Of course! Then he said,
"I won't ask you for the bus fare."
Then my dad forced me to run
and then asked me to find a job.
I have no thought of that.
Damai doesn't talk much usually.
She keeps it all in.
It's cool.
My mom says the same.
So that's it. You should chat with us.
It feels so good.
If you weren't drunk,
we would never know about your relatives,
your aunt, your date,
your 2,800-yuan model kit,
and your dad forcing you to run.
So good!
I will never drink anymore.
And Hongdou.
Hongdou was even more ridiculous.
She sat there, crying.
And listened to "Again in Retrospect",
again and again,
crying all the time.
Right, that rabbit you made wet with your tears was Xiaohulu's.
Remember to wash it and give it back to Mr. Xie.
I want to go home.
Sausages.
-Where are you going? -I'll collect the clothes.
Do it later.
Eat first or the food will get cold.
Don't mind me. I'll do it.
I can do it after the meal.
Leave it to me.
There are so many clothes.
-Mom. -Xiaochun.
Let her be. She won't listen.
Don't say that.
Do you listen to me?
Didn't I tell you not to call Luo Quan?
I didn't. He sent messages to me.
He sent messages to me too.
You replied to him, of course he would keep sending them.
If you didn't, would he do it?
I didn't reply to him.
But you liked his Moment post.
He liked mine.
Could you block him?
I share no secrets.
Why should I block him?
You can't see Luo Quan as our relative.
He will get married soon.
If he always contacts his ex-wife's family,
what would his new wife think?
We should at least be amiable.
You are too much.
Mom, are you angry?
No, I'm not.
Then why are you being so furious?
I'm not furious. I'm just talking loudly.
Have your breakfast.
XIAOHULU'S DAD
Luo Quan!
Didn't I tell you not to contact my family anymore?
Don't you understand?
Mother.
I thought it was Luo Quan.
Why didn't you use your phone?
You don't want to fetch it?
Do you want to talk with Xiaohulu?
Come on, Hulu.
It's your granny. Hurry.
Granny, I'm having breakfast.
Do you miss me?
You don't have to miss me.
My mom said
she would send me to you during the holiday.
I have a social engagement today.
Does she have a social engagement?
Today is my friend, Hu's birthday,
so I have to be social this noon.
Honghong is going back to Guangzhou.
It's her advanced birthday party.
Look at her. She's busier than a director.
Okay, I'll pass the phone to Grandma.
Me?
Hello.
Shuyu.
We're good. You too?
Why didn't you use your phone?
She must be asking Mom to persuade Luo Quan to date.
Interesting.
Sorry, I was wrong.
Don't contact him anymore.
What's wrong, Xiaochun?
What?
Your face is like a yaksha.
It's about a relative of mine.
A distressing relative always calls us.
My mom was even asked to persuade her son to date.
It's really annoying.
That means you two are good.
Only people in good relations would do this.
Who wants good relations with him?
Go!
As far as he can!
We still have one dessert to make.
This is the café where Nana works.
It's quite good.
So I didn't stay at home all the time.
I go out.
Hongdou and Nana went out with me for the whole day yesterday.
How could you girls go to the bar? It's a mess.
It's not.
Mr. Hu is a good singer in our yard.
It's a sober bar run by his friend.
It's a place only for people to listen to songs.
Nana is here.
Let me introduce you.
My parents.
Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou.
Hello.
Hello, Nana.
Thank you for holding a birthday party for Qingtian.
Not at all.
Damai helps me a lot.
She always makes supper for me.
She knows to take care of others?
She is good at it!
Nana, does she go out usually?
Yes. Of course I do.
Do you go out?
Yes, she does. I take her out.
Okay. Let's stop here.
I'm going to write.
Seeing me is enough. I'll hang up.
Stand up and relax after an hour of writing.
Do eye exercises.
I know, I did.
Also, destiny ties people together.
People who are good to you are your saviors.
They're hard to find.
Get along well with each other and don't quarrel.
I get it, Mr. Zhou.
Me too, Mr. Zhou.
All right, bye.
Okay, I'll hang up, bye.
The class is finally over.
Have some lunch.
Nana.
-Let me go have a look. -Okay.
Nana.
What?
Let me pick you up from work
when I am free next time.
Just like my parents said,
I should go out more.
Are you kidding me?
Can you have free time?
I can make time.
I will try to make it.
Really?
Yes.
Do you know how the wind comes?
Hot air comes to the cold area
and the cold place would get warm.
When it gets warm,
the air flows to new places
and a new wind direction appears.
What does it mean?
What does this have to do with wind direction?
I mean…
You came to me,
so I will go to you.
I will be good to you, be better to you.
When I go to you,
we have the same temperature.
How will you come to me?
Silly girl.
But no matter what,
I'd like to say thank you.
I will be better to you too.
I'll go now.
This one.
HAPPY GATHERING, I MADE XIAOHULU'S RABBIT WET
Xu Hongdou!
I'm coming!
It's okay. There's no rush.
Take your time.
"There's no rush. Take your time."
But you shouted by my window.
You're a cheat.
Totally a cheat.
EARTHEN HOUSE
Let's go.
Did you just wake up?
No, I was washing my clothes.
-Sure. Have you eaten? -Yes.
I just had breakfast with Nana.
What are you laughing at?
I was born with this smiling mouth.
I look nice.
Then you have to know
that looking nice has nothing to do with handsomeness.
You can only set one character.
Pony Prince sounds good, okay?
Let me talk about the personnel of the warehouse.
First is Aunt Feng.
She is a customer service executive.
She is righteous and frugal.
It's hard for her to change her personality.
Then don't let her do that job.
Ask others to do it while she delivers the goods.
Her working hours are long.
She has to send messages after work.
But it brings higher pay than other work.
She learned to type for this job.
Then she became capable.
Most importantly, she's quite dedicated.
I'm not speaking ill of others.
But no one else is better than Aunt Feng.
I've never seen a boss like you.
This is a village.
They always say they saw me naked when I was young.
They like to talk about your embarrassing history.
You have no prestige in front of them.
Okay.
I can try to change Aunt Feng's idea.
You can do it, Ms. Xu.
I believe in you.
I'll try my best.
You are being humble.
-Are you okay? -Goodness.
Ms. Xu.
Come here and check on this.
He's asking for a refund because it's not delicious.
Can I do that?
See.
Refund half.
Refund half?
The guest is not satisfied, then we will make them happy.
We can't do a losing business.
Aunt Feng.
There are profits and losses when it comes to business.
We should think from the angle of our customers.
We should meet their needs.
Actually, returns are fine for us.
We have return insurance.
As long as the goods are fine, we can sell them again.
I checked these comments.
Most of them are saying that it's hard to get a refund
and the package is not good.
And the delivery agents
put the goods at the depository without telling the customers.
And the taste is not good.
You don't like it, he likes it.
I never heard that one can get a refund because they dislike it.
Aunt Feng.
As long as the customer is not satisfied,
-the comment would be bad. -No…
It will affect the new customers and the repurchase rate.
If we provide a good service,
he would likely come again
even if he is not satisfied this time.
As for the comment, he would speak highly of our service.
That we're fast.
Basically, good service leads to a positive cycle.
What about these kinds of customers?
They're uncommon after all.
To make our customers satisfied is our purpose.
If the customers feel good, then they would be our regular customers.
Hongdou, when you were a hotel manager,
have you ever met any unreasonable guests?
Of course.
Once a guest called the room service to check out.
He was so bad-tempered that he poured a cup of iced coffee on my face.
Another time, a mosquito flew into a customer's room.
I was scolded by a naked man for an hour.
All naked?
How could it be?
Can you even bear this?
Yes.
-Xu Hongdou. -Yes!
She sees the big picture.
That's why she's the manager.
Yes.
