Tianyi.

Are you finished yet?

I have a very important surgery.

Must be ready.

Tianyi.

Could you accompany me for a second

and work

after I fell asleep?

Go to sleep.

I'm begging you.

Wait until I fall asleep.

Fine.

What?

Going on a trip?

Yes.

Dad.

Who are you traveling with?

Gao. I'm traveling with her.

Your relationship is progressing.

What are you talking about?

We're just traveling together.

Brother.

You haven't been away from home

for your entire life.

It's wonderful to go on a trip.

Where are you traveling?

How long do you plan traveling?

We'll go to Argentina.

That is too far.

We will go...

to...

Urumchi.

No. No.

Aunt. Don't ask him anymore.

This is my dad's private.

It's good that he's happy.

Right. Right.

Glad that you're happy.

Where exactly are you going?

We're going...

to...

Didn't Tianxin mention just now

that this is my private?

So, I will

figure it out, alright?

After all,

for this trip,

I will try to let myself

tour the scenic spots.

And

when I think I should come back,

I will come back.

So,

Xiaolong.

For you,

when I am

away from home,

take good care of the shop.

Don't let the customers walk away.

Don't worry about it.

Don't worry, uncle Fang.

Xiaolong will do a great job

for the noodle's shop.

You have some fun.

Good.

Great.

So,

from now on,

I will live

my own

struggling...

No. No.

Safe and

not risky...

Wrong. Wrong.

Just satisfactory...

No.

Glorious...

Suffering...

Er... Do you get it?

You mean

you will live your own...

No. No.

I should put it this way.

You mean you want to

live your own happy life.

Just ideal lifestyle.

Brother.

Where exactly are you going?

May I give you some suggestion?

If you took the plane,

try to make it shorter.

I think Sanya is a nice place.

Sanya

has coconut trees,

the sea wind

and the ocean.

It's a total different view there

than the one in Shanghai.

I heard it's very beautiful over there.

Right?

Right. Right.

Go to Sanya then.

What did you see?

I see they're pretty matched together.

True.

Fang.

Tianyi said on the phone

that tomorrow would be

the day we went traveling.

Right.

Sorry to bother you again.

I should thank you.

Are you taking me out on a trip?

You...

Really sorry about that.

Every time I ask you to do me a favor,

it's always a tough one.

It's fine.

The number you have dialed

is not available right now. Please...

Director Wang went to Beijing?

Right.

He asked me to book the last flight

to Beijing last night.

Okay.

I know.

Tianxin.

Thank you.

Director Wang isn't back yet?

No.

His phone is always powered off.

It might be out of battery.

Don't worry too much, Tianxin.

Okay.

Go to work then.

Okay.

How did you come back so late

and not tell me that you went to Beijing?

It's a sudden decision.

You should've told me.

I could come with you.

I didn't know if

things were smooth this time.

I worried about letting you down.

So, I didn't dare to tell you.

How did it go?

Did you find professor Tang?

What did he say?

He was quite busy.

But

with my sincere heart,

he promised me to

have a video meeting with Tianyi.

Then I don't have to worry.

Tell the good news

to Tianyi soon.

Hello, president's wife.

Director's back.

Okay.

We'll come there right away.

The president's wife asks us to come over.

Here.

Come take a good look.

From now to the wedding time,

you have to pick the wedding dress,

inviting guests

and the wedding site.

You have to pick among all of these.

There're the top settings

among these.

This also shows

how our families

pay attention to the bride.

Of course.

This must be finished

in a month.

What do you think?

Can the wedding

be simple?

Simple?

How simple?

In fact,

all of these are nice.

It's just that

we have to pick my wedding dress

among five stores

and for the wedding site, ten places.

Me and Wang Shuo have to work.

We hardly have the time to do it.

Our families choose our bride

with importance and grandness.

Because there'll be

many guests to come.

How simple could it be?

But...

Secretary Fang.

Do you have any opinions?

Just...

You see...

I think for the wedding,

it's not focused on how glorious it is,

rather

how we show our love.

From my point of view,

if our important friends

and our family members came,

we'd be much pleased.

Shuo.

The wedding is a big thing

for two families.

It's an important thing.

How about this?

We'll let them

discuss about it for a bit.

Right.

We'll discuss about it.

Then we come to agreement.

Discuss about it?

Aren't you guys eager to do this?

See...

I have done so much for you.

But you're still not satisfied.

Then go for it on yourselves.

It's not like that.

Aunt Xie, we don't mean that.

Aunt Xie.

Hello, professor Tang.

Hi, doctor Fang.

How is

your father's condition?

Two months ago,

my father had a paroxysmal dull pain

at the up left corner of his belly.

The pain would increase after he ate

and ease after pressing it.

Since the stage of onset,

his energy and sleep were alright,

but his appetite was bad.

He lost more than

5 kilograms.

I'll send you over

the detailed information.

Please have a look.

See how happy

my dad was with his smile.

He's really happy.

Look at him.

Look, we're carrying things.

It's really nice.

Xiaolong didn't have a mother since he's little.

If they could come to meet each other,

I would be optimistic about it

and not reject it.

I just worry that

he would refuse it.

Xiaolong. Can I ask you a question?

Go for it.

Do you have any memories about your mom?

My mom?

No.

My aunt said

she left me when I was born.

How old was I?

I don't have any memories.

Have you ever thought

what kind of person she would be?

What about going to find her

and meet her?

Why am I supposed to find her?

She left me

and abandoned me.

I didn't have a mom since I was little.

But I lives my life well.

My dad is the most important one in our families.

Besides that,

we still have our aunt.

My mom's nobody.

Why did you ask me this?

Nothing.

I was

just curious.

So,

do you really not miss her?

I do.

I do miss her when I was little.

I would be like,

it'd be good if I had my mom.

But not anymore.

Anyhow, I am an adult now.

If I saw my mom

all of a sudden,

should I be happy

or sad?

She's just a stranger.

I don't know how to face it.

Why are you asking me this today?

So strange.

Nothing.

I want to know more about you.

Never talked about your mom

with you.

I want to know how you feel.

Our families never mentioned my mom.

Never

speak about her

with them,

especially my aunt and my sister.

They will definitely turn against you.

Noted.

Don't act on impulse.

Never hurt

your own families.

Families are too precious.

I heard from the chefs that

you hadn't eaten all day.

This is specially made for you.

I haven't done it for too long.

Don't know if you're going to like it.

What's wrong?

Still not the taste in my memories.

The taste in your memories?

Right.

It's made by my mom.

The taste made by my mom.

I could never forget it until now.

Since Xiaolong was born,

I left the families of Fang

and married to your dad,

living a so-called decent life.

You were born not after long.

Over the past years,

I've always told myself

never think about it,

never think too much.

But I have no other solutions.

It's me who abandoned the families.

Because of this attitude,

I felt like I could not

treat you well.

Because that would make me

think of my other son.

Treating you well

would remind me how harshly

I was treating the other kid.

So,

I could barely show you

mother's love.

I was more than clear that

I couldn't do it.

It made me suffer

that I couldn't do it.

Because of this,

I didn't know

how to face you.

This also made you think

that I was indifferent.

This was all

due to my guiltiness.

How sad it is.

I have two sons.

But my two sons couldn't get

mother's love at the same time.

This is all my fault.

Meeting him

is really accidental.

From the very beginning,

I couldn't dare to

meet and recognize him.

But I never thought

after I met him,

I couldn't help

treating him well

and making up with him.

But never thought everything I have done

was a sort of offense

and disturbance

to the family of Fang.

I knew I was wrong.

I knew

I wouldn't disturb him again.

I wouldn't meet him

again as well.

I know I am

not a perfect mom.

I also know I didn't treat you well.

But today I came here

to tell you that

from now on,

I only have one son

— Fu Xiaolong.

Eat some.

It won't taste good if it's cold.

Dad. We're back.

Uncle Fang.

You're back.

Aunt.

Here. We'll have some noodles later.

Yueyue.

Noodles.

Go upstairs

to get Tianxin.

Okay.

Xiaolong.

Here's the clothes

I have washed for you.

Remember to

get them upstairs later.

Okay. Got it.

Aunt.

Where're my jeans?

Jeans?

No way.

You can't be sewing it again.

Don't worry about it.

I won't sew your jeans

ever again.

I have washed your jeans

and folded it up.

Where did I put it?

I... I have to

think about it.

But, aunt.

I'm the only one in the family

who wears jeans with holes.

How could you always forget it?

Sorry. Sorry.

Let me think for a while.

And I have also told you

that jeans couldn't be

washed over and over again.

How could you always wash them?

Jeans aren't supposed to be washed many times.

I'm aging.

Sometimes I can't remember things.

Keke.

Keke.

Can you find if

Xiaolong's jeans

are at your room?

Yongfen.

Don't worry about the jeans.

Tianxin.

Xiaolong.

You all come here.

Come over here.

Aren't we going to eat noodles?

It's fine. Sit down.

I have an idea.

Over the past decades,

your aunt played a role

as your mom

in this family, right?

Tianxin's and Tianyi's moms

past away young when they were little.

Xiaolong didn't even

meet his mom.

These things are no more

secrets in our family.

All of the washing, cooking

and housework

are done by your aunt.

She...

is elder now.

Couldn't do it that way anymore.

You all should

look after yourselves.

On the contrary, you should

take good care of

your aunt, right?

We're all families.

I knew your aunt

since she was born.

From this little,

she grew up

to this big today.

You're bigger than me.

You're bigger.

She likes to cry when she was little.

When I bullied her,

she cried instantly.

Then she would tell on our dad.

Your granddad grabbed me

and used the feather duster to whip me

apart from anything else.

I screamed out loud.

Your aunt stood beside.

And she was crying out loud.

Dad. Don't fight.

Don't beat up my brother.

Dad. Don't beat up my brother.

You loved me dearly back then, right?

It's all in the past.

Why do you mention it now?

There're 24 stories of filial piety in the ancient times.

For example, ice for carp.

And... And

the one who cried

at the dream of bamboo,

waiting for the bamboo shoots to grow.

Those things won't be happening again.

Who would run to the Songhua river,

waiting for the ice to melt

and the fish to be up?

But for the filial piety,

it will change

over time and space.

Kinship shouldn't be changing.

I'm elder now.

Your aunt is also eler.

In the future,

likewise,

you should care more about your aunt

and look after her well.

The elder should take a rest, right?

The elder should take a rest.

Let the elder

live a peaceful life when they're old.

Dad.

What are you talking about?

We all know the moral things.

We will take good care of you

and our aunt.

Right, dad.

Sorry, aunt.

I wasn't nice just now.

It's fine.

You're like this when you're little.

It's alright.

In the next life,

you would be my brother

and I would be your sister.

Why is it?

Isn't it enough to be

your brother in this life?

I bullied you since you're little.

And yelled at you very often.

You're upset

at many times.

I didn't know what to do.

I am your brother, right?

You saw me

lenient usually.

I was diffident.

What was I supposed to be as a brother?

I didn't know

how to be a good brother.

In the next life, you would be my brother

and demand payment

of my debt, alirght?

Fine.

It's a deal then.

You said it.

I will demand all the payment

for your debt in the past.

Okay. No problem.

No problem.

Yongfen.

Are we worthy of

our mom and dad?

We...

are worthy.

I thank you

for living beside me this whole life.

You see,

there're so many obstacles

and so many ups and downs in life.

And I have my sister

to accompany me this whole time.

This is my blessing.

Why...

Why are you saying this?

Are you sick? You...

You made me cry.

Okay. Eat some noodles.

Let's go.

Have some noodles.

Brother.

Come play for a bit.

Little fur ball, banana oil.

Mass of flowers, twenty one.

Twenty five six, twenty five seven.

Twenty eight-nine, thirty one.

Thirty five six, thirty five seven.

Thirty eight-nine...

From this moment I came to realize

how deep my father

loved my aunt.

My reserved dad

showed his love to aunt

by this way.

Thank you. Be careful.

Aunt Shuai.

Tianxin.

Why aren't you asleep at this late hour?

I want to taste a cup of milk tea made by you.

Alright.

Aunt Shuai.

I have always wanted to tell you something.

But I didn't have any chance.

What is it?

You have always treated my dad nicely.

But I misunderstood you

before.

I was so ignorant.

Sorry.

Silly girl.

It's over now.

Don't put it to heart.

Thank you.

Now it's the most important thing

for your dad

to recover.

Alright. Alright.

Take it.

I'll go then.

Okay.

Aunt Shuai.

Sorry to bother you about my dad.

What are you talking about?

Don't worry about it.

Go back now. It's late.

Director's back.

Where is she?

She's drinking wine.

It's all she knows.

What else can she do?

What are you doing?

It's okay if you want to drink.

Why are doing this kind of stuff?

Don't make fire.

You dislike and avoid me.

You have disliked me for so long, right.

That's right.

I am ignoramus.

I can do nothing

except for enjoying my life.

I am trash.

You have some real evaluation

for yourself.

It's not for some days

that you are dissatisfied at me.

Actually I have really regretted

for marrying you.

Do you think it'd be nice

if we weren't married?

Then we didn't have to

torture each other for so many years.

It's useless for you to say this.

Do not drink anymore.

Go to sleep.

What are you doing?

In fact, I am leading

a befuddled life lately.

Do you think there's any difference

between being awake

and being asleep?

Do you think I want this?

I don't want it.

I also want to

love passionately.

Me...

—Wu Yingmei

wasn't born to be

Xue's mom

and your wife

meant to be.

It's not interesting

to live like this.

What's so interesting about

Loving passionately?

Don't put this house

on fire.

Alright. Don't drink anymore.

Let's go.

Leave me alone.

Go to sleep. Let's go.

No. Don't touch me.

Let's walk.

I can walk.

Let's go.

Walk.

See...

Let's go.

Go. Go.

Let's...

You're so heavy.

For real.

Get to bed.

I feel so hot.

You're really something.

Don't go.

You...

Stay with me, honey.

What are you doing?

Honey.

What... What are you doing?

Why are you here?

Ask yourself.

You didn't let me go.

Isn't she awake yet?

Said she didn't feel well in her stomach.

Couldn't eat anything.

Okay.

How could it be like this?

It's really humiliating.

I...

How am I supposed to meet people?

How am I supposed to survive?

How could I be like this?

Impossible.

Impossible. That's impossible.

How could I be like this?

I must be crazy.

Are you alright, Yingmei?

I'm coming in.

Yingmei.

Do you not feel well?

Does it still hurt in your stomach?

Why did you drink so much?

Come here. Let me see.

Housekeeper.

Coming.

Go cook some porridge, okay?

Okay. Got it.

Eat some porridge.

It's not good to empty your stomach.

What's the matter with you, honey?

I thought you're

going to blame me

for last night.

It's not great that I care about you?

Of course it is.

It's just that you never

did it this way.

I'm not used to it yet.

I'll go to work then.

I'll walk you out.

No need.

Lie down. I'll go by myself.

Why do I feel so hot?

Can my heart stop

beating so fast?

Gao. Sorry to keep you long.

Aunt Shuai.

Sorry to bother you, aunt Shuai.

Yongfen.

I'll leave it to you then.

Don't worry about it. I'm here.

Gotta go.

Go. Go.

Have fun, dad.

Be good, uncle.

Don't forget to bring us souvenirs.

Have fun!

Look at your father.

He's not even looked at

us now that he's traveling.

Be safe.

Xue.

Aunt.

You know how to knit sweaters?

When I was little,

I learned it from our housekeeper.

I could barely remember it now.

So I am learning it

from the videos.

Xue is really a nice girl.

You know how to cook

and how to knit sweaters.

Now, you have become

a better daughter-in-law.

I should let Keke

learn it from you.

What do you plan to knit for today?

I want to knit a hat

for my father-in-law

and a scarf

for Tianyi.

You're great.

I should give you a thumbs up.

Don't praise me, aunt.

I feel so awkward.

There's so many that I can't do.

I should be continuously learning.

Learn it if you can't do it.

It's good that you have the heart to do it.

After your father-in-law comes back

and got the new hat made by you,

he must be so happy.

Really?

You did a video meeting

with professor Tang?

Right.

I have learned so much.

Professor Tang said

the previous five cases

were in a good condition after the surgery

and it increases the successful rate.

Looks like this treatment method

is feasible.

Have you told your father?

Not yet.

Then I'll come with you.

This is really

exciting news.

This news

will definitely help

with your dad's condition.

Let's go.

Dad. Dad.

Aunt Shuai.

You're here.

I asked you not to come.

Don't come.

You're still coming.

We're here to care for you.

Dad. Do you feel any better?

I just came here from home.

What's so bad about it?

Don't worry. I'm fine.

What're more,

Tianyi arranged everything.

See how big this room is?

There're three patients

living next door.

They are always chatting

and laughing.

Don't worry about it.

I think your dad

is a bit nervous.

Dad.

You won't feel much

during the surgery.

Never worry about a thing

and fear anything.

I'm not afraid.

I heard someone

died last night.

Don't mind too much.

Xiaolong.

Go back to the shop.

Take care of the shop.

Go to work, Tianxin.

I'm fine.

Dad.

Last time you're in hospital

and we didn't visit you.

You're so unhappy.

This time we're here

and you want us to go?

In-laws.

Everyone's here.

Uncle. Uncle.

Sit. Sit down.

Sit here, uncle.

Alright, thank you.

Sorry that I've bothered you.

You're welcome.

What are you talking about?

Now you only need to stay good.

Have some examination.

Have some treatment.

No problem.

Just think I have

brought you many troubles.

What troubles are you talking about?

This is something we ought to do.

Now it's really important

for you to feel happy.

Tianyi

has some good news for you.

What good news?

Dad.

Professor Tang from Beijing said

it had some

great recovery results

for the new treatment solution.

Brother.

What do you mean by great results?

I mean

it has increased remarkably for the successful rate.

Really?

Looks like

I could attend

Tianxin's wedding now.

Definitely no problem.

Don't worry about a thing.

For the previous clinical treatment,

although it has some effects,

but it lacks for

some adequate data.

Now the successful rate

has increased a lot.

And it'll be Tianyi who conducts the surgery.

Don't worry about it.

Great. Great.

At first I was

a bit worried.

I should worry no more

hearing you tell me this.

Dad.

Besides attending

my sister's wedding.

It'll be no problem

bringing my sister's kid

to the kindergarten.

Okay. Okay.

Fight with it.

Fighting.

I'll fight with it.
