Let's just take a look quietly.
Don't make any noise.
Don't let Xie Qiang find us.
What if he sees us?
We can't let Xie Qiang see us.
If he sees us, we'll be unlucky.
Who told you that?
That's what Zhang Xuefeng and the others say.
Don't listen to Zhang Xuefeng's nonsense.
My grandma says
Xie Qiang only dislikes naughty kids.
I don't want to see Xie Qiang anymore.
I'm scared.
We're machos.
We're already here.
Are we going to back out?
Yes, I agree with him.
Xiaohulu, are you scared?
Of course not.
I'm a girl.
My mom always says girls need to be strong.
Don't be afraid. Follow me.
-Here. -Here, drink up.
-Drink up. -Drink.
Here, eat up.
Which one is Xie Qiang?
The tallest, most muscular, and most incredible one.
Xie Qiang is back.
-Xie Qiang will make a toast for you all. -I see my dad.
Hongdou and Uncle Zhiyao are there too.
The egg is slightly cracked.
He should be at the table next to them.
It's full of men.
Xie Qiang.
You have to treat your parents with filial respect.
Don't fail them.
Do you know
how they lived when you were in prison?
They were so thrifty.
They only focused on making money.
You know what?
Your dad was hospitalized because of anemia.
Let's not talk about that.
Everyone falls ill, right?
Xie Qiang.
Make a toast to them.
I'm not finished yet.
Xie Qiang.
You've reformed yourself in jail for so many years.
We all believe you've become good now.
We hope you can turn over a new leaf
in the future.
Everyone makes mistakes.
It's fine as long as you change.
We only fear
that you can't control yourself
and become addicted to stealing.
I'll go over there.
Come on, sirs.
Xie Qiang has drunk too much.
I'll drink this for him.
You'll drink for him?
We grew up together.
I've been eating the food Aunt Feng made since I was little.
Am I qualified or not?
Yes.
Come on.
Bottoms up.
Come on.
Let me pour the drink for you.
I'll add some.
Okay. Thank you.
People are immature when they're young.
He made mistakes and took the wrong path,
but he has reformed himself.
Who can guarantee that he'll never make any mistakes, right?
As the old saying goes,
"A returning prodigal is more precious than gold."
Let's just forget about what happened.
Don't mention it again.
It's useless to mention it anyway.
We know you want what's good for him,
but outsiders might think
that you're gossiping.
We can't let them laugh at us, right?
Yes.
-It's for Xie Qiang's sake indeed. -Yes.
-Forget it. We won't mention it again. -Okay. We won't mention it.
-You won't? -We'll forget it.
-Great. -Thank you.
-To such a happy day. -Thank you.
-Okay. -Here.
-Come on. -Thank you.
Here.
I see him. He's the one standing up.
Yes, that must be him.
He's Xie Qiang.
He's tall and strong indeed.
Here.
Come on. Help yourselves.
Eat up.
Xiaohulu.
Have you guys had lunch?
We're doomed. Run!
-Run! -Run!
-Why did they run? -Run!
Ignore them. They're playing.
Let's drink.
-Run! -Run!
-I'll take a break. -Take a break.
Don't drink too much.
Why did Uncle Zhiyao do that?
He's so annoying!
You guys! Xiaohulu!
Xiaohulu, come home to eat. Stop running!
Aunt Feng's relatives are really good drinkers.
Hongdou.
Wait for a second.
Here.
These aren't leftovers.
It's for Grandma Xie.
Thank you, Aunt Feng.
Damai.
I see you like this beef dish.
Take it back and eat with Nana.
Thank you, Aunt Feng.
Thank you for today.
You've helped us a lot.
Is he okay?
I'll make soup to help him sober up.
We won't take up any more of your time.
He drank a lot.
We'll get going.
See you, Aunt Feng.
-Take care. -Okay. Let me take it.
Make him some tea.
All right.
Don't forget to find me if you have another celebration.
We will for sure.
You cook so well.
Thank you.
Let me see him off.
You're so polite. There's no need.
It's fine.
Take care. Thank you.
Mom.
My son.
Mom.
Have a seat.
Mom, don't cry.
I'm back.
My son.
I failed you, Mom.
Mom, don't cry.
Mom.
Mom, don't cry.
I'm home.
I'll listen to everything you say from now on.
You're awake.
Are you thirsty?
Let me see.
Your face is still hot.
Why are you so marvelous?
You outdrank the whole table, right?
Don't you feel uncomfortable?
I'm fine.
I'm just a little nauseous.
Where's Grandma?
I asked her to go down and sleep.
Your dinner is in the pot.
I'm sorry for letting you look after a drunkard.
It's fine.
You don't behave badly when you're drunk.
You're just sleepy when you're drunk.
You don't vomit or cause trouble.
Listen.
Since you're not young anymore,
don't drink too much.
You can't drink like this.
It really harms your health.
I'm not young anymore?
I'm in my prime, okay?
After drinking a little,
your face swelled up like a steamed bun's risen dough.
Are you sure you're in your prime?
Am I right?
Are you tired?
What are you calculating?
Money.
Everything needs money.
Recently, I realized what's called
"spending money like water."
It just flows away.
If you do well,
it will be like a windfall,
flowing in.
From your lips to God's ears.
I hope that happens.
Thank you for taking care of me.
Let me repay you.
I'll massage you.
Aren't you tired?
No.
Come on. Lean here.
You should rest.
I'm fine.
Come on.
Does it feel nice?
Don't make yourself so tired.
Tell me if you need my help.
Zhiyao.
Do you know?
There are different kinds
of fatigue.
There's a kind of fatigue
that's like being in an endless desert.
Right?
Another kind of fatigue
is like crossing mountains,
but it's so much fun in the mountains.
So is it fun now?
Manjun.
Where did you go?
I picked some vegetables from the farm.
Go and get changed. I'll take you out.
Where are we going?
We'll watch a show.
Let's go.
Of course you must come with them.
Do you want me to chat with your parents about our child alone?
Yanran's mom, you're here.
-Please get on the bus. -Be careful.
Sell water dispensers?
-Is it the time to do so? -Be careful.
How about this? I'll help you sell ten sets, okay?
-Sit inside. -Okay, fine. Bye.
Dad and Mom didn't quarrel.
What's going on?
You're going to perform today.
You should be happy, right?
Ms. Xiaochun.
Get in.
Okay.
Be careful.
We didn't quarrel, right?
Come on.
-Ms. Zhang. -Mr. Hu, you're here.
-Any more seats here? -Yes.
Good.
By the way,
this is my good friend.
She'll help me film the show.
-Hello. -Hello.
Get in then.
We'll ride the bus then.
Come on.
-Mr. Hu. -Mr. Hu.
Mr. Hu, sit with me.
I'll sit with you?
Where are your parents?
They're not home
and my grandparents can't come.
Just sit here then.
Sit here.
Manjun, come here.
I'll sit with Xiaochun.
-Take your seat. -This is fine too.
Sit with them.
-Come on. -I'll sit with you.
-Hulu. -Hulu.
Who is she?
Ms. Manjun.
Right.
Let's check if you have fastened your seat belts
-Yes. -Yes.
Okay. Let's go.
Do you have your seat belt on?
Yes.
Sir, close the door.

Slow down.
Look, Manjun.
Press here and it will power on.

Then press here to record.
It's recording now.
It also auto-focuses.
I got it. Let me try.
Xiaohulu.
Let me help you.
Okay.
Not bad.
I'll take my seat.
Mr. Hu.
You said she was your good friend.
She's your girlfriend, isn't she?

I can't today.
My daughter had a performance today.
What about tomorrow?
Okay, 9 a.m. tomorrow.
Okay?
All right. It's a deal.
See you tomorrow.
Bye.
Xiaochun.
Mr. Hu.
I need to tell you something.
But don't think I'm meddlesome
and tell me off when you get mad.
Xiaohulu's grandparents both came today,
so I think I have to tell you this.
Just tell me.
It's about Xiaohulu's education.
I know little about education and I'm not a real teacher,
but if I don't tell you this,
I'll feel so conflicted.
That's why I must tell you.
Can you please stop the repetitious talk?
Get to the point.
Haven't you noticed
that Xiaohulu is unhappy today?
I have.
Because she didn't stand in the center.
Kids want to assert themselves. I know it.
See?
That's the typical logic of adults.
What's Xiaohulu's logic?
She thinks standing in the center is the best.
If she can't be the best,
her grandparents will say
the school here is bad
and you don't educate her well.
Then she can't study here anymore.
She's not asserting herself
because she's competitive.
She's afraid of leaving you.
Xiaohulu, have some vegetables.
You must have balanced nutrition.
Thank you, Grandpa.
Good girl.
Who says Xiaohulu is a picky eater?
She's not picky at all.
Granny, my mom makes yummy food for me every day.
She also reads me stories and teaches me many words.
Is that so?
How many words do you know now?
A lot.
The reason why I didn't stand in the center today
is because I'm too tall.
It doesn't look good for a tall kid to stand in the center.
That's right.
When you study in Kunming,
your granny will make delicious food for you too
and I'll read stories to you.
Father.
I can agree with you about other things,
but with regard to Xiaohulu's education,
I want to discuss it again.
I can agree with you about other things,
but she must study in Kunming.
We can't delay her education.
We can't go with what you want.
This is my plan.
Let Xiaohulu study at the elementary school here,
then she can go back to Kunming for junior high.
If so, how can she catch up?
They already had a head start.
If you insist on mentioning starting lines,
I think
parents are the starting lines of kids.
After Luo Quan and I graduated,
I started a small business
and he sold water dispensers.
What we can provide her is very limited,
so we think the best thing
that we can give her now
is a happy childhood
and an unconstrained future.
Listen to what you're saying.
Unconstrained? You'll let her be?
Xiaohulu is so smart.
She'll obviously surpass you two combined in the future.
You two are incompetent,
so you don't want to raise your child well?
What do you mean?
I've already sent her to study in school.
What else should I do?
Let her take extra classes? Learn instruments and painting?
Win a Math Olympiad prize?
Is this how you raise a kid?
Everyone lets kids learn arts.
She can learn it.
There's an artistic atmosphere in our village.
She can learn embroidery,
tie-dye, and carving.
Recently, two painters even came.
If she wants,
I can introduce Xiaohulu to them too.
Lower your voice.
We're outside.
Don't affect others.
That's right.
Xiaochun.
What did we discuss before?
Yes, Father.
We did discuss this before,
but shouldn't we adjust to how she changes?
I think Xiaohulu will become useless
if she stays with you.
What do you mean by that?
She has a good reading habit and a strong thirst for knowledge.
She's brave, kind,
caring, loyal, and polite.
Do you know what her biggest dream is?
She wants to be an astronaut.
Is that useless to you?
Don't quarrel outside.
Is there a dad like you?
You're useless.
Fence-sitter.
Stop eating.
Let's go home.
Mother, enjoy the meal. Call me if you need anything.
Let's go. Get your spoon.
Your spoon.
Xiaochun.
I told you.
You can't win in quarreling with her.
I didn't quarrel. I just stated the facts.
Dad.
Xiaochun also stated facts.
Shut up.
She's right.
You're so useless.
Fence-sitter.
Mom, do you want some?
No. Enjoy it yourself.
Hulu.
I want to ask you something.
Am I usually fierce?
Really?
What do you want me to be like?
Tell me. I'll change.
I hope you can be happy.
What else?
That's all.
You'll be perfect
after you become happy.
Hulu, I want to tell you something too.
From now on,
you don't have to do everything well.
You don't need to get first place.
You don't have to be
that sensible
or deliberately please others.
As long as you're happy,
you're also perfect to me.
Really?
Then I want to go shrimping by the riverside.
No.
If I play by the riverside,
you'll still spank me.
That's right.
Hello, sir.
Yes. I'm at Erhe North Road.
Okay.
Take your bag. Let's go.
And your water bottle.
You're here.
Wait.
They want to take photos.
Take photos?
Zhiyao said it was for publicity.
Are these Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake?
Yes. It's the Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake painting.
How long does it take to make this?
About several months.
Look here.
What are you doing?
Mr. Xie, I'm good here.
-Okay. -Okay.
Ms. Xie, what are you giving me?
Just clothes.
It's old-fashioned clothes.
It's rarely seen now.
Look.
It's so beautiful.
This was my mom's dowry.
My grandma embroidered it.
It's so precious.
Are you sure you want to give it to me?
This is meant for Zhiyao's wife.
What if we marry and get divorced?
Is it still mine?
After giving it to you, it's yours.
It's so nice.
I'm reluctant to wear it too.
I want to leave it to my daughter
or my daughter-in-law.
Aunt Huailan.
Are you giving all of these to her?
I can't keep it well.
Insects might destroy it.
Xu Hongdou.
If you accept it,
you must marry me.
I don't care.
It was given to me, so it's mine.
That's what Ms. Xie said, right?
Yes, that's what I said.
You really benefited from me.
These embroideries can't even be bought now.
Hi, everyone.
I'm Singer Nana-chan.
I'm back to sing for you again.
SINGER NANA-CHAN
I haven't done a live stream in over a year.
I was planning to stop doing this.
I'm now in Yunnan,
working in a café
and I've met many good friends.
We all live in the same yard.
Aside from singing,
I want to tell you some stories between me and my friends.
I think they are very interesting.
All right. I'll cut to the chase.
As usual, I'll sing first.
This song "I Will Stay Here" is for you.
A GOOD FISH SENDS A LITTLE HEART
PIG BUTCHER GIRL SENDS A LOLLIPOP
DAMAI SENDS BEER AND A LOLLIPOP
What are you guys doing?
Manjun.
We're having a team building activity.
Team building?
Manjun, do you want to join us?
Isn't that Nana?
BIG YACHT
Why did you send a yacht too?
Why don't you just give her the money?
Xiaxia, we don't need to send expensive gifts.
Just create some buzz and liven up the mood.
Don't send such expensive gifts.
BLOCKHEAD SENDS A LOLLIPOP
Who are these people watching the live stream?
Why are they so rich?
She started live streaming again today,
so many people are sending gifts.
Should I do live streams too?
You?
A live stream telling people off?
Hu Youyu, why are you laughing?
Did I tell you off?
Look.
Everyone here is laughing,
but she only dares to be fierce to me.
You're the only pushover. Of course she'll go after you.
Manjun.
Wait, Manjun, how can you say that?
Teach me later. I don't know how to use that.
Okay.
Send more gifts.
SINGER NANA-CHAN
Okay. We're almost done with today's live stream.
BLOCKHEAD SENDS LOVE
"Do you want to build a charitable persona
by live streaming?"
My present boss sent me a text
before today's live stream.
Let me read it for you.
"There will always be people who love you,
hate you,
support you,
and disdain you.
Some hope you'll be well.
Some want you to die.
Some wish you to be free.
Some want you to live according to their wishes.
Some understand you,
misunderstand you,
and misinterpret you.
However, everyone lives in this way.
There are no exceptions."
So you can think however you want.
My dear friends, see you tomorrow.
It's her.
Zhiyao's girlfriend.
She's from Beijing.
Ms. Xu.
Ye Sen.
Mr. Xie said you're unloading ceramic tiles here.
He's busy,
so he asked me to come since you might need help.
What is he busy with?
His former colleague introduced an investor.
They went to the village committee.
What investor?
He never mentioned that.
An expert in tourism development.
He said he was just traveling in Dali,
but he drove here himself.
I think he's like Mr. Liu.
He's afraid we'll entertain him.
Park here and have some tea.
We're almost done.
Hold on a second.
That wall earlier is a bit old.
We won't demolish it but just preserve it.
It has a sense of age.
We provide protective maintenance for many old residences.
Where will the bookstore be?
An old residence deep in the village.
-This way, please. -Okay.
Sit wherever you like.
Everyone is here.
-Gui, you're back. -Gui.
Hello.
You're back.
-Yes. -Aunt Gui, when did you come back?
Just now.
Qingdao has an endless amount of seafood.
They're so tasty.
Here, Feng.
I brought you some squid and dried fish.
I won't bother you.
I'll leave after giving you these.
How was your trip there?
Did you have fun?
I had a lot of fun.
Listen.
That jerk, Zeqing,
said that he's not used to living in a building.
Our kid's house is already huge,
but he says it's like a matchbox.
The space is small.
He only has a few friends out there,
so it has been quite tough for him.
Of course he's not used to living there.
"A wild boar can't appreciate fine bran."
Are you used to living there?
Of course.
I was so happy there.
I know where the markets
and supermarkets are outside their community.
Every old lady in the community knows me.
I already know
how many kids which family has,
their kids' jobs and salaries,
which children are obedient,
and which are unfilial.
Aunt Gui, it's a pity that you don't do intelligence work.
She's so inquisitive.
Is Xie Qiang at home?
I'll visit you this evening.
Yes.
He's so industrious.
He cleans the whole house
and also works in the fields.
He's even learning to cook.
What did I tell you?
When I came in, I saw you glowing.
People are in high spirits in happy times, right?
All right, Aunt Gui.
I'm sorry. We're working.
You're driving me away again?
I got it.
I'm leaving.
I need to visit Baoping.
I'll leave you to work.
-Take care. -Take care.
Qingdao's seafood is so tasty.
-Take care, Aunt Gui. -Okay. Bye.
-Take care. -Be careful.
Here it is. Seaweed with stir-fried taro.
Thank you.
Aunt Hua.
Zhiyao, we just talked about you.
Luckily, you didn't come at lunchtime
or there would be no place to sit.
Is your business that good?
Congratulations.
Many people come to eat here from the town.
But we're planning to close for a while.
Xiangdong's arm got a steroid injection due to pain
and his legs have varicosity.
The doctor asked him to rest.
We've discussed it with Honghong.
She and her husband will be back next month
to help us operate the restaurant.
They're coming back?
That's great.
Enjoy your meal.
Call me if you need anything.
-Okay. -Thank you.
Have you finished unloading?
Listen.
Fortunately, Ye Sen was there.
He checked every box.
Three were wrongly packed
and we sent them back at once.
I helped you monitor the yard's renovation, right?
I'm experienced.
How was the meeting with the investor?
It was so-so.
He just came to look around.
The village needs to get
the higher-ups' opinions after all.
It concerns the development policy.
It will be fine.
My investment insight isn't bad, right?
Yes.
In terms of investment insight, I admire you the most.
You're good with high-risk investments.
Is running a homestay high-risk?
Haven't you invested the rest of your life in Mr. Xie?
Listen.
If the homestay runs well,
I'll open up a branch elsewhere.
I can make money myself.
So if he's not nice to me,
I'll dump him.
Ye Sen is such a shit-stirrer.
Miss.
Can we
play a song together?
Okay.
I've been longing
To realize my dream
The more you want it
The more clumsy you are
Your confusion
My panic
It's watching us
Yet it said nothing
Someone stops and someone keeps going
Wandering
Life is the window
The days are the house
Stories can make far places profound
Blow away the sadness
On our faces
Only when the heart has more space
Can light get in
The stories you want
Are happening around us
-In every window -In every window
People
-Are forgetful -Are forgetful
Here you are, fat dog.
Damai's dog is out.
Where's Damai?
Damai is just
like that.
Like what?
You know.
Yes.
Xiaochun, one latte, please.
What happened to your head?
I was filming "Hit me again, Master," right?
My master hit me.
Nana, can I take a photo with you?
Sure.
Your boyfriend is good at photography.
He's just good today.
Nana-chan, I like you so much.
I really like hearing you sing.
-Thank you. -I always watch your live streams.
Thank you.
Nana is now a superstar.
People come to take photos with her daily.
Hello?
Yes. We have an employee named Nana-chan.
Come tell her off if you want.
I'll tell you the address. Yunnan province…
What a coward.
Do people still call here?
The calls have decreased.
But when they call,
I would invite them here.
Are you here for coffee?
What happened to your forehead?
-I was filming-- -He's the official beaten actor
of "Hit me again, Master."
Got it?
My brother-in-law.
Luo Quan.
Xiaochun, don't be fierce.
Haven't I told you?
If you can persuade your dad,
do it.
If you can't, it doesn't matter.
But I won't compromise on Xiaohulu's matter.
I…
Luo Quan, you're really the most hesitant man I've met.
You're already over 30.
How can you still listen to your dad about everything?
Your dad is just over 50.
He's already treating those health product sellers
as his relatives.
You must support your family in the future.
You need to have your own ideas.
I know.
-What do you know? -Let me say something.
Fine. Go ahead.
My dad agreed.
He said he can do as you say.
Why did he suddenly agree?
I told him
you probably won't remarry me.
-He can't do anything, so he agreed. -I probably won't remarry you?
What does this have to do with me?
All these years, you haven't remarried,
so I thought
maybe there was still a chance for us.
-Wait. -I thought…
Let me sort this out.
You want to remarry me?
When?
Why don't I know it?
I've always wanted to.
I've always wanted that.
Luo Quan, it has been three years since we got divorced.
The reason why I haven't remarried
is because I haven't met a suitable person.
It has nothing to do with you.
When I was with you, I thought it was like…
Of course.
I was young back then,
but I won't jump
into the same pit once again.
Do you understand?
Yes.
That's good.
It's getting dark.
You can't go back now.
Go to our home first.
Let's talk later.
I need to work now.
I…
What are you looking at?
