Episode 12

The beef is quite good.

If you don't want to eat, don't blame others' appetites.

Why do you stare at me?

Either talk or eat.

Are you raising funds?

That is my business.

Don't believe their nonsense, after seeing their earning money.

If it is so easy to earn money,

then everyone would do business, make a fortune.

It is right. The market is open for the public.

How about the loss?

I urge you to think thoroughly.

You're telling me to back off, right?

Just eat.

Don't threaten me because you write scripts at the TV station.

Do you think I don't know how to do business but you do?

I have more experience in business, more connections than you.

You are right. You have more experience.

You are deceived more than once or twice.

I'll tell you what, it's fine if you fail.

Don't drag us into it.

Stop acting weird, okay?

When did I drag you into it?

You are jealous because I am getting rich.

Since growing up,

I envy that

you are so heartless.

You are deceived by the same person twice.

The money you lost before was gone.

You then lost my mother's jade bracelet.

Dont' rake over the ashes.

Stop all this fuss.

Today I'm going to dredge things up. Qiao Zuwang,

Li Heman gave you a few hundred yuan

and you gave it to Xu Funian and lost it all.

Do you have any conscience?

-Who told you that? -Don't ask me how I know.

You sold your daughter with a plate of soup dumplings. Don't think that...

Can you all stop?

Go. Go.

It is good that he leaves.

Go far away.

Don't let me see you again.

Don't want me to earn money. I just will.

Jealous of me.

Where are you going, dad?

-Stop meeting those people. -Leave me alone.

Sanli, don't tell your big brother.

It wasn't like that.

Sanli.

Stop cleaning.

What happened to both of you?

What are you doing? Did you bully her?

And you.

You should not break things no matter what.

Don't cry. Don't cry.

Go now. Get our clothes upstairs.

Move it! We'll wait here.

Oh my god.

Ridiculous. You scared me.

Sanli,

you know I'm not smart.

I can't say words of wisdom either.

I don't read many novels like Simei.

She's good at talking.

But I think some things are similar.

You must remember

to smile in front of people

and cry on the inside

because nobody cares if you cry. They'll only laugh at you.

Only those who love you care about you.

When I cried back then,

someone told me so and I'm doing as she said.

I wanted to tell you this.

I'm not sure if I've made it clear.

But don't tell Simei about it.

If she knows it, she'll surely laugh at me.

Qiao Yicheng.

Why are you leaving?

Since it's getting late, I don't want to keep you from resting.

Then why did you come over?

I don't know either.

After editing videos at the TV station, I walked here unconsciously.

But I heard from Xiaolang that both of you live far apart.

Carry them upstairs for me.

Go upstairs and sit down for a bit.

It's... not very appropriate, right?

Is it not appropriate?

Not at all.

You're not the first one.

My boyfriend has come over before. Don't feel embarrassed. Let's go.

Forget it. I won't keep you both from resting.

We're not going to bed early.

We get up at 4 o'clock

and go to a sports park in the outskirts to decorate it.

Our company is having a marathon tomorrow.

Why don't you come with me?

It's not appropriate, right?

It's very appropriate.

You can do free labor work for me.

That's great. Let's go.

Let me help you.

Can you handle it? I'll open the door for you.

[Quarters]

Sit on the bed.

Sit down.

Well, I don't have cups here. Just drink water out of this bowl.

That's fine.

Why don't you eat?

Wait till your boyfriend comes over and see what I'll do to you.

You finally smiled.

You have no idea how terrifying you looked when we were down there just now.

I thought I did something wrong that upset you.

- Sorry, just now I– - Why say sorry?

What's with you?

I had a huge fight with my dad.

I often fight with my parents too.

So I stay away from them.

I have peace and freedom in Nanjing.

Out of sight, out of mind.

I can't be like you.

Don't you want to leave your home?

It's not about whether I want to do so, but whether I can.

I can't... can't leave.

I don't think you can't.

Actually, you don't really want to do so.

If you truly do,

there's nowhere you can't go and nothing you can't do.

Am I this capable?

Don't be narcissistic. I'm not praising you.

I just think everyone has this ability.

Just like...

an elephant in a circus.

Why is it afraid of a human's rope?

It can't be bound with that rope.

What binds it

is the shackles deep inside its heart

and those memories of being tamed.

As long as it wants to leave, it can go anywhere it wants.

Shackles are not there.

Is that right?

[Staff Quarters]

Xiaolang,

- eat a cake. - Slow down.

- Don't give me that. I don't want to eat. - Eat one.

- Give him one. - Give it to him?

Qiao Yicheng, do you want to eat it?

I don't want to eat, but I'll drink some. Thank you.

That's fine.

I'm going over there.

[Solidarity, Friendship, Progress. Participation Counts. Nanjing Daily]

Alright. Ready.

Set...

It's about to begin. Good luck!

The one in blue is ours.

- Xiaolang. - What's wrong?

Something happened to Liu from our newspaper agency. He had diarrhea

and has been sent to the hospital now.

What should you do then? Do you have anyone to fill in for him?

Exactly.

Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up!

- Cover him. - How could I change here?

Just change while walking. There' not enough time.

Good luck!

- Clothes. - Clothes!

Can you fix it? You're showing your body.

Let me take my shoes off.

Alright. Go.

Have you put it on?

Hurry up and help me tie it.

Stay still.

Shoes! Shoes!

Here they come!

- Good luck! - Hurry! Good luck!

Good luck!

Qiao Yicheng! Qiao Yicheng, you can do it1

Qiao Yicheng!

Qiao Yicheng! ♫ Life should always face the light ♫

♫ We must be strong even when we stumble and fall ♫

Qiao Yicheng! ♫ Counting all the shooting stars landing on your shoulder ♫

♫ And I'll always be by your side ♫

♫ Life should always face the light ♫

Why are you so amazing? ♫ Embrace more hope after the disappointments ♫

♫ At the end of the night is sunshine, the happiness in my hands will bloom eventually

- What are you eating? - I'm done eating. I'll go now.

- Okay. I'll see you in a bit. - Bye.

- Thank you. - Next.

- How many taels of rice do you want? Two taels of rice.

It's quite full right now.

- Can you wait a while? - That's fine. Okay. Thank you/

Alright. Excuse me. Excuse me.

It's so packed.

- I want this. - This is great.

This.

How I wish I had my own window.

♫ We'll eventually end up somewhere far away from home ♫

In winter, my family uses that kind of yellow light bulbs.

My sister Sanli said yellow light makes people feel warm.

In summer, she uses incandescent light bulbs instead

to make it feel cooler.

So every time the season changes, she patiently replaces those light bulbs.

Sanli is great.

♫ I have the courage to step forward ♫

♫ Because you're pointing a light for me from behind ♫

It's quite good to be with your family like that, isn't it?

♫ Even if time causes us ♫

We the siblings

cooked in a small cottage when we were little.

It was so smoky.

We did laundry under the tap in the yard.

To hang our blankets in the sunlight, we argued with neighbors.

Simei and Sanli took turns cleaning the toilet.

Simei...

couldn't stop complaining every time she brushed it.

Days like that,

we lived together for 20 years.

Twenty years...

That's a very long time.

Qiao Yicheng.

Qiao Yicheng.

Qian Yicheng.

What's the matter?

I want to marry you.

I want to marry you.

In our family,

there are still a younger brother, two younger sisters.

My dad only cares about himself.

My mom...

died when she gave birth to my baby brother.

So my youngest brother has been fostered at my Second Aunt's home.

- You mean— - My family's condition is bad.

I don't have a house either. So the bethrothal gift

- and the wedding banquet— - Don't talk anymore.

I understand.

What do you understand?

If you don't want to marry me, just tell me. It's okay.

I'm not the kind that will cling to a man without letting go.

I'm leaving first.

It's...

Shouldn't I tell you about these things before getting married?

♫ Old times that have turned yellow ♫

Huh?

If I'm like this and you're still willing to marry me,

then...

Let's get marry then!

♫ I have a few affectionate lines of monologue ♫

♫ We avoid the crowd on purpose ♫

♫ Only when it's late at night ♫

♫ Do we talk about our colorful memories ♫

♫ You're by the door at the edge of these memories ♫

♫ Protecting all my expectations ♫

♫ Regrets stay behind after a storm ♫

♫ As the time lingers silently ♫

♫ Lingering both in and out of the dream ♫

You look spirited. Where have you been these days?

Good, you are generous today.

Something good happened?

I'm getting married.

With Xiaolang?

Here, let's use Beibingyang soda for wine to congratulate you.

Here.

Why do I feel that you are not surprised at all?

Brother, whoever you marry, I would be surprised.

Except with Xiaolang, I'm not surprised at all. I wouldn't even be surprised if she is pregnant with your baby.

What nonsense are you talking?

Listen, you are the first one I've notified.

When I get married, you have to come.

Sure, don't worry. Even if I'm not there, the gift will be there.

You've thought it through?

Won't you think it over?

I've thought it through.

Okay, it's good that you've thought it through.

I knew that you'd fall in.

I just didn't expect you to fall so quickly.

Frankly, about Ye Xiaolang,

how much do you know about her?

Such as her family, her parents,

have you gone there to know more?

For some people, some things,

I really don't need to consider more. Probably I decided even at first glance.

Sanli, let me do it. It's fine, let me.

I have something to tell you today.

I am getting married.

You are getting married?

Really, Big Brother?

How come you never revealed anything before?

Really. When did you start dating?

Is your girlfriend pretty?

Is she fashionable? How tall is she?

There you go again.

The important thing is that she is a good person and will be good to Big Brother.

You all shut up.

Qiao Yicheng, I don't have any opinion about you getting married.

But, I said this early on.

After you are 18, each of you will take care of yourself.

Each one saves your own money. I don't have any money.

My little savings

is spent on buying the home appliances.

Don't worry, I don't need your help. I'll rely on myself.

Our home is small. Even your brother and sisters are still crammed together.

We won't live here. We'll rent a place to live by ourselves.

Also, you must continue to pay for your living expense as usual.

As I see it,

the daughter-in-law will be a Qiao family member, so she should pay a share too.

The unmarried ones pay by the person.

The married ones pay by the household. All other families do it this way.

Don't worry.

Going forward, I will give my living expense, not a penny more, and not a penny less.

It's only so much anyway. Take it or leave it.

Fine.

But don't think that, just because you're moving out, you will lose all responsibility.

People can't be too selfish.

About your younger brother and sisters,

whatever you need to be in charge, you need to do it and not only care about yourself.

Enough. That's all that I'm saying.

Big Brother, what does Sister-in-Law do?

Like me, she is also a news person.

She is a reporter for the newspaper.

She is also a cultured person then.

Where is her family? How is the family's condition?

They are from Anhui provice. Like us, just an ordinary family.

What? Are you doing the census survey?

We should congratulate Big Brother!

Congratulations, Big Brother.

That's right. This is wonderful news.

Big Brother, don't listen to Dad.

Don't worry too much for us.

Sis, what do you mean? We are not Big Brother's children from another marriage.

It's natural that brothers and sisters take care of one another.

I actually worry about an outsider coming in

to give extra burden to Big Brother.

What are you saying?

So? I can't bear to lose Big Brother?

Getting married is such a big news that I just heard. Let me get used to it, okay?

Sanli, let me.

No need, Big Brother.

I will have to do this by myself in the future.

Big Brother, don't mind what Simei said.

She simply can't accept it so quickly.

I know.

What about you?

I'm happy.

I just didn't know that

this day is coming so soon.

When Mom left,

I was too young and didn't understand sadness.

I saw other people cry, so I cried too.

I wasn't as sad as I'm feeling now.

It's fine, okay?

When I get married, tell Wang Yiding to come too.

Tell him to come. You two can't be stuck like this forever.

You've isolated yourself. How is this good?

Big Brother, does Sister-in-Law treat you well?

Does she cherish you?

She is quite nice to me.

That's good then.

All these years, you've worried over this big family.

It's time for you to live without worries.

I'm truly happy for you.

It's been so long since we all were together.

There'll be less of a chance in the future.

Why'd you hit me?

Sanli! Pinch her for me.

- Pinch her hard. - Yeah, on her face.

- Big Brother. - Yeah?

After you're married, can I come hang out at your place?

What are you plotting again?

What's wrong? Even if eldest brother gets married, he'll still be my eldest brother.

Come whenever you want, okay? Anytime.

Eldest brother, I'll go to your home and cook for you.

Take care of yourself first.

- Sanli, you shouldn't always be alone. - Gosh.

Big Brother! Why are you always nagging like a mom? Sanli's fine by herself.

- Right, Sanli? - Yeah.

Big Brother, I'm not okay by myself!

How about if you don't move out? That way you can teach me English.

Why'd you hit me again?

Big Brother has his own life.

He's not your nanny.

So what?

Brother Min was going to marry Sister Xingyu after qualifying as a civil servant,

but because of his family,

he had to postpone his wedding

Didn't Second Aunt approve of this marriage?

No, not that Second Aunt didn't approve of it,

but Second Aunt is going to get married.

I'm going marry

Ms Wei Shufang.

What's this old man talking about?

Say it again.

- Get out! - Let go.

Get out! Are you getting out?

- I'll go now. - Are you going?

Go now.

What's going on?

I'll tell you what,

I'm not coming back to this home.

I'll come back whenever she gives up on him,

otherwise I'll never set foot in here.

Stand aside!

Don't need to knit it.

I won't put it on anyway.

Min, don't worry.

I'm not mentally ill.

You're my son.

You've been kind and honest since you were little.

You show your emotions easily. How could I not know what's in your mind?

I'm not confused or crazy.

Over the years,

I've overcome many difficulties and challenges.

I just want to live a different life.

I'm not going after his money.

He's nice and well-educated.

Mom,

the relationship between Uncle Ma and you

is not common

but not rare either.

People make progress over time.

Everyone will eventually understand.

Just give us some time.

Actually I don't really get it either.

In the past,

you and my dad got along so well

that both of you never had a fight.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by A Family of 7️⃣ Team @ Viki.com

Aren't you the most open-minded and respectful?

I don't blame my mom.

I just can't get over it.

After all, she and my dad got along so well.

Now she wants to get married already.

She also said that old man was nice and well-educated.

Recently,

I've been thinking about what my dad told me before he left.

He told me

to show filial respect for my mom.

Aren't you supposed to be doing what he said then?

You really need to show filial respect for her

and care more about your mom.

Think about it. Second Aunt is only 50 now.

She still has 30 to 40 years to live.

Once you get married, Xiaoya goes abroad, and Xiaoyi gets married too,

won't she be all by herself? Won't she be sad?

Now she's found a reliable man.

Why can't you take one step forward?

But the neighbors here

gossip and say something unpleasant all the time.

Gossip will eventually go away.

We live for only tens of years.

Who could care about those trivial matters in your family forever?

The eldest kid of the Qi family.

Your mom is going to get married.

Congratulations. You know what they say?

New flowers bloom on an old tree.

Thank you, uncle.

Congratulations. You're getting married.

How many tables are you going to book?

Actually Xiaolang and I aren't going to have a banquet.

You know, our dad is very stingy.

Xiaolang doesn't ask her family for money either.

Both of our families will have a meal together in a restaurant.

It's just a form.

I heard that your wedding had been postponed.

I can finally be ahead of you.

You always get ahead of me

and are complacent in front of me.

Are you childish?

This isn't about who gets married first,

but who has the last laugh.

I'll tell you what, today's your cousin's big day.

I may've pissed you off, but others did nothing to you. Don't give anyone a dirty look.

Did you hear me?

Got it.

You too.

Xiaolang,

when is your family going to arrive?

They got on the train early in the morning. They should be on their way.

I've written the address to them.

Yicheng's friend picked them up. They should be here soon.

Yes, it should be soon.
