Look. Aunt E's dried fish.
-It's well-dried. -Yes.
It's better than mine.
What is she doing?
I don't know. Is she exercising?
Doesn't she get dizzy though?
I don't know.
Look.
Look at her waist.
Look at it.
What's wrong with it?
Before Dayang was born,
my waist was just 20 inches.
Now, it's not.
You too.
Good morning.
Hello.
-You arrived yesterday, right? -Yes.
This is Aunt Baoping.
I'm Aunt Gui.
One-third of the homestead in this yard
is owned by my family.
So I'm a landlady.
I'm responsible for cleaning the yard.
What's your name?
I'm Bai Manjun.
Just call me Xiaobai.
Xiaobai.
What are you doing?
Yoga.
What is yoga?
Maybe it's similar to what Mr. Ma did.
Mr. Ma sat there motionless.
But she moves and does handstands.
Right?
What?
Keep doing handstands.
Come on, let's go upstairs.
Why doesn't she feel dizzy?
Young people don't get dizzy.
Dried bamboo shoots.
Dried porcini.
I dried them for you.
Don't be afraid.
This is certainly not poisonous.
I'm not afraid.
Aunt Gui, I'm not afraid.
Well…
This is a lot.
This is really too much.
You need to bring more
so that your parents can eat more.
The fan cheeses and sausages are from me.
Thank you.
These are from Feng.
Dried peaches and apples
picked from their own trees.
All-natural.
The dried peaches are great.
And they're sweet when infused in water.
-Thank you. -These…
Grandma Xiuying's dried chili and sesame.
And black soybeans and soybeans from Grandma Caiyun.
Where's Aunt E's fish?
-Where is it? -Here.
Dried fish.
How will you take all these back?
This is too much, really.
Well…
I haven't given you any gifts
or done anything for you.
These are just tokens from us.
While doing volunteer work,
you have been very busy
and helped Zhiyao a lot.
We all like you.
All the ladies here
don't want you to leave.
Hongdou, after you leave,
don't forget us.
Remember to visit us.
Hongdou is so busy, how would she have time to visit us?
Just call us.
A video call.
Yes.
I've prepared some gifts.
Some are still unopened.
They're all for you.
-Xiaohulu. -Here!
-Tuotuo. -Here.
-Huzi. -Here.
-Guobao. -I want one too!
Say, "Here."
Here!
Here.
This is for you.
Thank you, Hongdou.
This is for you.
Thank you, Hongdou.
Hongdou, what's this?
That's a luban lock puzzle.
Luban lock puzzle?
Make a promise to me.
After I leave,
play with Grandma Xie
at Zhiyao's home more often.
Okay?
-Okay. -Okay.
Does she know how to play this?
You can teach her.
Okay.
Hongdou.
Will you come back and visit me with Lingdang?
I don't know.
After you leave,
who will marry Uncle Zhiyao?
I don't know either.
When can we hold a reception
with pork stew?
I want to eat sweet rice.
Me too.
Stop it. They're not getting married.
No pork stew.
No sweet rice.
-One, two, three. -One, two, three.
-It's getting out. Step on it.
It's getting out.
It's done.
Thank you, guys. Thank you.
Jiu, I have to go.
Okay. Thank you, Zhiyao.
-You're welcome. I'll get going, bye. -Okay. Thank you.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
-It's done. -Thank you.
OBSERVATION ROOM
Didn't the tractor fall into a ditch?
Yes, I was covered in mud, so I took a shower.
Good thing I made it in time.
I told you, I can go home on my own.
I told you, I'll pick you up.
You have wounds.
Did you get it wet while showering?
I'm fine. It's not painful anymore.
Be careful.
Or it will leave scars.
Got it.
Let's go to the seaside.
A detour?
Let's see the sunset.
DALI CITY LUOXIA TOWN HEALTH CENTER
Xie Zhiyao.
Why are you taking my photos?
As a souvenir.
Do you really think you're a tourist?
I am a tourist.
Fine. You're a tourist.
Aunt Baoping and the others
are thinking of giving you some good food.
Having thought for a long time,
I don't know what to give you.
Are you joking?
You've already given me a lot.
What did I give you?
The sunrise,
sunset,
starry sky,
wind,
courage,
and hope.
You can be more materialistic.
I think I'm richer than you.
I have no loans.
It's beautiful, isn't it?
You've learned
to enjoy life anytime and anywhere.
Of course.
These are the real luxuries.
Why are you silent?
I'm thinking about
how to say it.
What do you mean?
Just say it.
A parting gift.
I made it myself.
It's not a valuable thing.
You may refuse pricey ones.
Did you make it yourself?
What's the matter?
Why are the two rings buckled together?
Magic.
Balala dark energy.
You don't like it?
I really like it.
Thank you.
Is your hand hurt?
No.
I scratched it on the tractor.
-It's pretty, right? -Yes.
You're pretty, so anything you wear is pretty.
Xu Hongdou.
At first sight,
I thought you were proper and simple.
Later on,
I thought you looked down on luck and found you interesting.
Every time I ask for a favor,
you say you're unwilling,
but you're softhearted.
How should I describe it?
I think you are…
I think you are
just right.
Just right?
Just the type
that I like.
I feel happy every day
when I'm with you.
I feel happy in anything I do
or even when I'm not doing anything.
I'm so happy
that I feel a bit sad.
Because the time and place I met you
are not so good.
I even regret it sometimes.
Because when I was in Beijing,
I often passed by the hotel where you worked,
but I never walked in.
If I had gone in,
I could've known you earlier.
Maybe…
there could've been another possibility between us.
I intended
to keep these words in my heart.
But I thought for a long time.
At the very end,
I wanted to give you another memory.
In a place by the sea where the wind blows,
with the afterglow and sunset as witnesses,
a man
seriously liked you.
I said it.
Xie Zhiyao.
You're so bold.
It was unexpected, wasn't it? A fastball.
I couldn't catch it.
That's what I want.
All right. It's about time.
Why are you crying?
You don't need to humor me.
Thank you.
I love this gift.
You're welcome.
Xu Hongdou.
Live the life you want.
I wish you happiness.
Thank you.
Go home.
Hongdou.
Safe travels.
Update me about the bookstore.
For sure.
Keep in touch.
-Introduce connections to us. -Okay.
I'll mail your baggage tonight.
Send me good food after you arrive.
Safe travels.
Inform us in the group
when you arrive at your friend's home.
Let's go.
Go inside.
I'll watch you go in.
Give me a hug.
Forget it.
Go.
I'd better hug you.
What do you really want?
Safe travels.
Goodbye.
I'm too busy that I forgot.
She was leaving today?
I thought it was tomorrow.
Yes. Mr. Xie sent her off in person.
Hongdou even sent a message in the group earlier
that she has landed.
He is so unlucky.
He finally meets a girl he likes,
but it can't progress.
Don't make any conclusions yet.
It has been going on for so long
and nothing happened.
Grandma Xiuying.
I'm coming.
Don't touch it. I'll do it.
It might hurt your hand.
Hongdou is much more careful.
I'm already stopping myself from recalling her time in the café.
-Is that her? -Which one?
The one in white? It is her.
-Hongdou! Here! -Hongdou!
Mr. and Mrs. Chen.
Come here. Hurry.
We're here.
Come on, Hongdou. After you.
Let her rest first.
I'll cook for her.
Okay.
Change into slippers.
Come in.
This is Nannan's room.
Nannan.
Hongdou is here to see you.
Are you happy?
The room is a bit small.
We burnt part of her belongings.
The rest is for commemoration.
Let's do it like this.
We'll sleep here.
-You sleep in our room. -No.
I'll sleep here.
Nannan's scent is here.
I'm okay.
I'm fine.
Mrs. Chen.
I brought many things.
Have a look.
You often send us food.
Why did you bring these again?
-Cheers. -Cheers.
I made this wine myself. What do you think?
It's so good.
I know, right?
I wonder who planted two vines near the east wall.
They're quite stout.
But the grapes are too sour.
No one picks them.
The birds eat them a lot,
and many ants go there.
She felt it was wasted,
so she picked some to make wine.
You don't say,
-it's quite tasty. -True.
I shared the wine with many neighbors then.
Later on, the vine became very popular.
Don't just listen to us talk. Eat.
I wanted to tell you
that Mr. Chen's chicken is quite delicious.
Wait. You eat first.
Let me take a video for my parents.
Go ahead.
Don't eat first. It will look better in the video.
I'm at Nannan's home.
Mr. Chen cooked many dishes for me.
This chicken is so delicious.
This is Mr. Chen, the chef.
Free-range chicken is great.
Pretty Mrs. Chen.
Finger heart.
Mrs. Chen made this wine too.
It's very good.
-It's made from sour grapes, right? -Yes.
But the wine is not sour.
Is it done?
Try my fish too.
-Wait. Let her eat it. -It's good.
A FAMILY THAT LOVES EACH OTHER
XIE ZHIYAO
Okay. Come on, try this.
-Okay. -Try this fish.
Thank you.
Master.
Hit me again.
Let's go.
Master, are you eating?
Obviously.
Just two dishes?
Stop filming.
What's there to shoot?
I'm just having lunch.
Stop filming.
Master.
Look at this.
You brat.
You carved a dung beetle.
Who will buy it?
It's not carved. It's real.
You're lying.
I'm not lying. It's true.
You brat!
No, Master. I want to add a dish to nourish you.
Don't. Master, don't hit me!
Don't hit me!
No, Master.
PHOTO ALBUM
PHOTOS AND VIDEOS, SEND
Zhiyao.
Here.
The chicken soup is ready.
Try it.
This chicken soup will make rice noodles tasty tomorrow morning.
Drink it first.
The rest is for rice noodles tomorrow. Come on.
I can drink by myself.
Okay.
Has Hongdou arrived?
Probably.
She told me when she landed.
Has she eaten then?
Of course.
Ask her.
Ask what?
What she ate.
Why should I ask that?
Keep in touch with her more.
I'll contact her if needed.
Otherwise, why should I contact her?
If you don't contact her,
change this.
Okay, I'll change it later.
Why are you so different from me?
When I pursued your grandpa
at a young age,
I followed him everywhere.
Grandma.
You were a hopeless romantic.
What?
It refers to someone good at dating.
Not really.
I just fell in love with him.
I'm not like you.
I'm very happy to send off Xu Hongdou.
This beauty has greatly hindered my career.
Let's see how long you'll remain stubborn.
Drink it.
I will.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
-Five. -It fell.
-Do it like me, it needs a knack. Yes. -Six, Seven.
-Eight. Two. -Swing, yes.
-Great. -Three.
Go.
-Xiaomei. -Six.
-Is she your niece? -Seven, eight.
-She's my goddaughter. -One.
-She came to see me from Beijing. -Two, three.
-Goddaughter? -Go.
-Six, seven. -Beijing is very far. How nice.
Eight.
She often mails food and drinks to me.
That's great.
Mrs. Chen.
Chen Nanxing told me
that you were in labor all night.
When she was born the next morning,
Mr. Chen saw only one Polaris Australis in the sky,
so she was named Chen Nanxing.
I believed it for a long time.
A while ago, I just learned
the Polaris Australis can't be seen in the Northern Hemisphere.
Her grandpa named her.
He planted a dancing crane cobra lily in the yard.
It didn't need much water to grow well.
It was luxuriantly green.
-So he named her Nanxing. -Yes.
She hated the name when she was little.
She said her name was the same as a plant in her grandpa's yard.
Let's pick some apples.
This one is not good.
Let Mom tell you.
Apple…
Let me tell you.
Apples with vertical stripes are the sweet ones.
What's this? Let me see.
Hair dye cream.
This won't do, it's not good.
Why?
No, this is too expensive. What are you doing?
We're old.
-We don't need this. -We'll buy this.
It's 459 yuan.
What are you doing? You don't have to pay.
-Hongdou. -You don't have to.
-She scanned it? -Yes.
Hongdou, she has more gray hair at the top.
-Apply more there. -Okay.
Don't give arbitrary orders.
She is more attentive than you.
I'm enjoying this.
That's not necessarily true.
Mr. Chen is experienced.
It's my first time.
He has poor eyesight.
He often dyes unevenly since he can't see clearly.
Who says I have poor eyesight?
I have sharp eyes.
It's done. Let the dye sit.
-Rest for a while. -Hongdou, come on.
-Have some tea. -Okay.
-Did you get it on your hands? -No.
Well done.
Let's take a photo.
Take a photo?
Look at you.
Come on.
Come on, say chili.
-Cheese. -Chili.
Let's see.
Your mouth makes you look like a catfish.
No, this is too ugly.
-This is good. It's creative. -Delete it.
Okay, I deleted it. One more time.
It smells good.
YOUFENG YARD GROUP CHAT
The rice noodles are ready. Who wants to eat?
DAMAI: WHAT A COINCIDENCE. I'M COOKING NOODLES TOO.
MA QIUSHAN: IN A MEETING, ORDERING TAKEOUT
A GOOD FISH
Mr. Hu, ask Manjun to come down and eat.
They were all chatting.
No one listened to the song.
Someone even requested an online popular song.
But he just wants to hear a part of it.
That's just…
Mr. Hu.
The nice noodles are ready.
Nana, I have to go to town.
I'm going first today.
I won't eat anymore.
What about you, Manjun?
I don't eat dinner.
I'll hear him sing in the bar.
We'll get going.
-Bye. -Bye.
Bye.
What's more ridiculous is that
while you're singing on stage,
-they're… -I made a lot.
I wrote the whole day.
I even have a meeting in town tomorrow.
What about you? What are you busy with?
Today, a guest fell while riding at the horse farm.
He was X-rayed in the hospital.
Is he badly hurt?
Good thing he had protective gear on.
He had a soft tissue contusion.
Nana, what did you cook?
Is it enough for us?
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
It's enough. I'll get you some.
Are you sad
just because no one is eating
the rice noodles you made?
No.
I feel like
I haven't eaten alone for a long time.
I suddenly saw
that the lights in every room were off, so…
So I felt
a bit lonely.
All right, I'm being too dramatic.
You're not.
You're just not used to the feeling of separation.
Look. I'm a strong girl,
but when I visited my mom with my dad last time,
I cried in the car as soon as I left.
Your mom must be sad.
Come on.
She was elated to see us off.
After we came,
she was busy cooking and it delayed her work.
How is that possible?
She probably just won't admit it.
It's true.
My boyfriend told me in secret
that my mom breathed a sigh of relief
after we left.
She said my dad and I
were clingy Buddhas.
She's my idol indeed.
Am I not your idol?
I've long become Principal Tao's fan.
What about my fan club?
It quietly dissolved.
That's great.
I'm sorry.
That sounds so dreary.
Yes, it's dreary.
They all left.
Don't worry.
New tenants will come.
The windows will be illuminated.
No.
No matter who comes,
they're not Damai
and Hongdou.
Here, don't cry.
Zhiyao, don't be too sad either.
Look.
I placed a photo here.
Get some rest.
Mrs. Chen.
Well…
I'm leaving tomorrow.
Let's sleep together.
Tell me more about Nannan.
A friend told me
that when we talk about someone,
she exists.
When we don't talk about her,
she disappears.
Let's talk more about her.
She was 100 days old then.
She was one year old here.
Her grandma held her.
She was so fat then.
She was big.
It took me two days to give birth to her.
She weighed over 3.9 kg at birth.
Her whole body was red.
She was crying with her eyebrows furrowed.
I was shocked when I looked at her.
I said, "Why do I have such an ugly daughter?"
This was when she entered elementary school.
Someone sold marinated chicken legs,
what you call drumsticks, outside her dad's company.
She basically ate one every day.
Other people's kids were…
They were picky about food.
But she was not.
She ate anything you gave her.
She became thinner then.
Yes.
Mr. Chen was so handsome then.
She was probably in junior high here.
I think it was her grandma's birthday.
Look, there's a cake here.
She became thinner then because she didn't eat properly.
She wanted to be pretty.
She became taller than me here.
She looked like her dad.
Right?
When Nannan just passed away,
we were in a daze.
We were silent at home.
We turned on the TV but didn't watch it.
When we missed her,
we came to this room
and cried.
We slept after getting tired from crying.
It was like a nightmare.
It didn't feel real.
Relatives and neighbors
came to visit us in turns
out of kindness.
They cried with us when they came.
I was afraid of being asked about her.
Hongdou.
I've always wondered
if I did something bad in my previous life.
Everything I did in my life
was all in vain.
I'm really grateful to you.
You often called us.
You asked what we ate and did.
But we couldn't answer.
Then you made a video call.
Due to sadness, I didn't notice.
Nannan's dad is more attentive.
He asked me
if I noticed
that you lost your energy.
We…
We were just too selfish.
We only thought about ourselves.
We didn't notice
that others around us must be sad too.
Nannan's aunt has a lot of diseases.
But she often cooks and sends food to us.
My nephew and niece
are busy with work,
but they often take time to visit us.
My husband told me
that to let Nannan rest in peace,
we must look forward.
Actually, I've thought things through now.
I'm really fine.
It will happen sooner or later.
We'll be able to meet in the afterlife.
We're really okay now.
Don't worry.
We're really fine.
Look, we exercise daily
and eat well now.
Don't worry about us.
You don't have to always send us things.
