Original subtitles

What's with the cocky look?

Everyone knows about your family.

That's right.

Your father had a mistress.

Everyone knew about that.

Precisely.

Are you acting cocky

just because you're rich?

Since your father is having an affair, is your mother not returning home as well?

Maybe she's having an affair too.

I'm sure of it.

You want to fight?

Try and touch me if you dare!

Come on.

What are you doing?

How dare you hit me?

My goodness.

He's quite good at putting on a front.

Let's go.

Let's just ignore him.

Hurry up. Let's go.

Wait for me.

Chen Maidong!

What are you doing?

Chen Maidong!

Come back!

You're fighting for real, huh?

Let go of me!

Chen Maidong, let go!

=Episode 4=

(People's Government of Nanping Town)

I'm not late, aren't I?

Jie, you're here.

Not at all. You're not late.

Get a seat.

Madam Wu,

there's no need to rush.

I usually run around

during work hours.

I'm already used to it.

Hi, everyone. I'm Zhuang Jie.

You're Song Xinran, am I right?

The first student

who majored in Arabic Studies.

Let's add each other on WeChat later.

What's your current occupation?

I felt inadequate

working in the past few years.

Now, I'm focusing on my PhD study.

You're so good at studying.

I was less intelligent after pregnancy.

I already forgot everything I learned in university.

Me too.

I feel sleepy when I read books now.

Everyone has their own expertise.

Raising a child is an exceptional ability too.

Come.

Let's add each other on WeChat.

Come. Scan my profile.

Zhuang Jie,

where are you working now?

It's still the same.

I'm still working for Dalton Medical Products,

a French company since I graduated.

I'm envious of white-collared workers like you all.

Businessmen like us have to spend much effort.

My hair grew white in just a few years.

It doesn't matter even if it's white.

At least it's better

than going bald, like me.

Alright, I'll add you.

No jobs are easy.

To be honest,

guys,

please come and find me

if you need any medical products.

Although I didn't major in that,

I've learned a lot

by being in the industry.

Since we're all from the same town, we should help each other out.

That's right.

One more friend, one more way.

Let's create a group chat and keep in touch.

Precisely.

I worked in another state,

but I feel that my friends here

are the closest to me.

If we make friends

in all kinds of trades,

we won't get scammed

when we buy something, right?

Come, old friend.

Let's add each other on WeChat.

You wish to add me when I'm in this industry?

Why can't I add you when you're in this industry?

I came out in a hurry.

I left my phone in the funeral parlor.

Sorry about that.

Sorry for the wait.

Mayor.

- Everyone has arrived. - Okay.

These are the local specialties

of our town.

Distribute them to everyone.

Let's thank the mayor

for preparing such wonderful hometown snacks.

Greetings, Mayor.

Hello, everyone.

Please be seated.

Okay.

Actually,

I wanted to hold a gathering with you all long ago.

Initially, I wanted to hold it during Chinese New Year.

But you returned during

the Labor Day holiday.

If that's the case, there's no time better than now.

I know many of you

were born in Nanping

and grew up here.

But please pardon me for being straight.

You guys might not know

your hometown as well as you think.

You might not understand

how urgently we need you guys

to come back.

Ma.

(Beautiful Hometown)

All of us know

that Nanping is quite a wealthy town.

We have listed pharmaceutical factories,

(Map of Nanping Town) large-scale electric appliance factories,

(Map of Nanping Town) and internationally renowned porcelain factories.

Our tourism and aquaculture sectors are commendable as well.

I'll stop bragging

about our hometown.

I'll talk about

the things we're worried about.

The pharmaceutical factories here

plan to relocate to the city

in five years.

This will cause thousands of people to lose their jobs directly.

(Views of Nanping Town) Our tourism sector

isn't as vibrant

as what people say.

The disparity between peak season

and non-peak season is a cause of concern.

And,

the industrial zone that's being built right now

has empty factories

as far as our eyes can see.

Therefore,

I'm here to seek the help

of all of you sincerely.

I hope you guys can think of a solution

for our town based on

your experience and knowledge.

(Letter to youth of Nanping town) Our town doesn't lack money.

We lack talented individuals.

Capable youngsters

like you all

usually don't come back after getting accepted into universities.

I don't expect you guys

to remain in this town.

I just hope

that you guys can visit

your hometown often.

Just give us some ideas

to help out the town.

My gratitude knows no bounds.

Besides that,

over here,

I would like to introduce someone.

Chen Maidong.

He's the first person

to return here from a first-tier city.

He's a talented youth

who takes care of his grandmother

while helping the town out.

And, he's working in a funeral parlor, which is a noble occupation.

Our town

is always filled with lonely old folks.

Their bodies were only discovered

after they passed away for some time.

Ever since his return,

not only did he help the deceased

regain their pride,

but he also helped out the old folks' homes

and lonely old folks whose names were registered.

Even the province

sent a team here just to learn from him.

This is what I was saying just now.

As long as we have talented individuals,

all obstacles

will be resolved.

(Keep oneself when in distress and benefit others when in power)

However,

it's our negligence

for not being able to find a partner

for our role model here.

Since

all of you are here,

those who are single

should take a look around.

We should resolve this internally

if it's possible.

We should keep the goodies within the family.

Am I right?

I'm sure all of you know

whether you're single or not.

Don't force me to call out your names.

You guys may not be worried, but your parents are very worried.

Of course,

this is an important event for the town.

He's still pretending to be cool.

If you don't believe me, you can look at Madam Wu.

She's so worried that she's constantly frowning.

Alright.

That's all I have to say today.

I have a meeting to attend later.

You guys don't need to leave immediately.

You guys can talk and interact with each other.

Chat with each other, okay?

I'll make a move first.

Thank you, Mayor.

Okay. See you guys around.

Goodbye.

Let them chat.

Okay.

Don't leave yet. I'll come back soon.

Have a nice chat.

That's what you get.

Did you drive here?

I did.

It's the workplace vehicle.

What do you mean?

It's a hearse.

Fine.

I won't bother you.

See you around.

You brought that upon yourself.

Wasn't the prosthetic limb made with the newest materials?

Buddy, it's faulty only after six months.

Did you scam me?

Wait.

I'm sure it got deformed due to wear and tear.

But why can't I walk straight

after bumping into something?

Wait.

What do you mean by my strides are too wide?

Don't try to be a smart alec.

I know it has vertical damping

and rotational torque functions.

If not, why would I

pay you so much in the first place?

Forget it.

I'll settle my debts with you when I return to Shanghai.

Hop on.

You can just hold onto my shirt.

That's kind of dangerous.

You do cherish your life, huh?

A grown man like you is afraid of people hugging your waist?

You have a spare tire?

Why are you so talkative now?

I was talkative from the start.

You weren't like this when you were young.

What do you mean?

You're extrovert.

Isn't that good?

Didn't you realize

that I alone

changed the awkward vibe of the meeting just now?

Please be quiet.

At least you won't be that annoying.

Not at all.

I think everyone likes me.

Chen Maidong,

do you feel uncomfortable?

Chen Maidong,

don't tell me you still think I have feelings for you.

To be honest, when I saw you

in the bullet train,

even though I didn't

recognize you,

I think

my heart

still skipped a beat.

I thought to myself

that this guy looked so refined.

He looked like my cup of tea.

When I take a closer look,

it's you, Chen Maidong,

my old flame.

What's with the emergency brake?

Get off.

Give me your crutch.

Which eye of yours

still saw me using crutches?

Hey, I was just saying. Why are you robbing me?

How dare you throw my bag?

Old man, what are you doing?

I'll call the cops!

You keep feeding me sweet food

even when I'm at this age.

Are you up to no good?

At your age,

I'll be up to no good

if I don't allow you to take sweet food.

I guess I'm old now.

Everyone calls me Granny

when they see me on the streets.

Time

is just like a bridge.

Every one of us has to walk from one side

to the other side.

At our age,

we've almost

reached the other side.

Now, we can just sit and wait

for the others to cross the bridge.

Although that's the case,

times are different now.

Now that we're waiting on the other side,

I wanted to see what the youth are doing

and impart some life experiences to them.

But now, I feel like

I'm useless.

I have to depend on my grandson to teach me.

The older you get,

the more questions you have.

That's why

you wanted to do divination all the time.

Speaking of which,

those cards of yours,

the tarot cards,

those are nonsense.

After that,

I intimidated the two

by telling them

that they were destined to be together.

You need affinity

to be able to intimidate them too.

For some reason,

I like Jie.

She's just like the younger version of me.

But after that,

she told me wholeheartedly

that she wasn't willing to stay here.

She's going to return to Shanghai.

I felt like she wasn't like me after that.

I spent my entire life

in this very town.

Even now, I think

that it's a great place

since it has natural sceneries,

buildings, houses,

and nice people.

Look at all those big cities filled with concrete and cement.

And, it's so noisy there. What's so good about it?

You can't just

compare yourself

to women nowadays.

Women of this generation

are very independent.

The home they're looking for

is a place where they can rest

both their body and soul.

Speaking of which,

the poem you taught me to recite

is truly fitting.

"I was born without a home.

Home is where the heart is."

To Jie,

Nanping is a great place.

I don't think it'll be difficult to keep her here.

Now, it depends on

whether or not Dong is lucky enough

to win her heart.

Chen Maidong.

You're ruthless.

This bag is more precious than me, you know?

Zhuang Jie,

your legs looked fine

when you kicked that person.

It's all thanks to adrenaline.

Got it?

But speaking of which,

the prosthetic limb I ordered isn't free, you know?

Although something went wrong,

it can still be used

after I get used to it.

So,

you were joking with me all along?

Don't tell me you think I...

Joking with you?

Which part do you mean?

The part where I pretended to limp?

Or the part where

I said you were my cup of tea

and my old flame?

Both.

Both are true.

But both can be false as well.

It depends on how you understand it.

You're something else.

You've changed entirely.

It's not that bad.

Life is short.

There's no need to be serious.

For example, all those youngsters who joined the meeting this afternoon

were passionate and hot-blooded.

But once they leave the door,

when the wind blows and the dust settles,

no one will remember

their promise.

The meat processing plant in the town

was an investment by the second son

of the Wang family from Beijing to our town.

Terraced fields will be built on the hills.

Yanggou Village has planted

tens of mus of Chinese yams.

All of these were contributed

by youngsters

working in other provinces.

Zhuang Jie,

you came here when you were over ten years old.

You couldn't understand the town.

But that doesn't mean

that everyone loves to speak gibberish like you.

Chen Maidong, do you think

my sense of awareness is lower than yours?

Did you think I became the top saleswoman

due to pure luck?

Tomorrow, I'll show you.

I'll show you!

I'll show you the kind

of contributions I can make to my hometown!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

I need the crutch.

Yan,

now, you believe me, right?

Our sister is being gaslighted.

That might be true.

Keep an eye on

Taixin Health Care.

Their respiratory pumps should've

been replaced long ago.

I'll do a follow-up once I return to Shanghai.

Don't worry about it.

I won't let anything escape me.

The new girl

who joined our company

wanted to proceed with the deal.

I dealt with her.

She has no respect for us at all.

She's new, huh?

It's common for her

to try to make a name for herself.

But she won't be able

to close the deal.

Yeah.

They're ice cold.

Ordinary salespeople cannot stand them.

You're the only person

who can close the deal.

To be honest, I didn't really suffer under their hands.

Since I'm a disabled individual,

they showed me

a lot of respect.

It takes a strong heart for

one to turn their disabilities into their strengths

with an open heart.

How did you manage to do it?

I remember that you were

introvert in high school.

You avoided people when you went to the restroom.

I was enlightened by a saint.

Really?

Who is it?

How could I not know about that?

What? You think you know everything there is in life?

You do have a point.

Back then,

you were already very creative.

You were super mysterious and unpredictable.

Nonsense.

High school students are silly. There's nothing mysterious about me.

Tell me, then.

Who was it?

It was Chen Maidong.

He was the first person who told me

that a crutch

could be used as a weapon too.

You two actually talked about that before?

When did it happen?

Enough already.

I can already imagine

that nosy look on your face.

It's because there's something fishy about your tone.

Tell me about it.

How did you two

get together back then?

What are you saying?

We didn't even speak much to each other.

Stop pretending.

The intimate way of you guys

is enough for us to gossip about it for years, okay?

Is someone else in there?

I...

I'm the only person.

Here.

I have to deliver it to you personally too?

Why don't you use me as your crutch?

Take it.

I'm a disabled individual.

My limbs aren't as good as yours.

You didn't apologize to me

or

thank me for it.

I was teaching you.

A crutch

can be used as a weapon too.

Your crutch is such a waste on you.

Who are you trying

to show your pitiful face to?

Speak for yourself.

Who are you trying

to show your spiteful face to?

Don't tell me you're going to hit

a female disabled individual!

No one will treat you

as a disabled individual

if you don't talk about it all the time.

Speak for yourself.

You don't like hearing gossip because you have a guilty conscience.

If you don't want to listen to them, just close your ears.

You keep getting into fights.

Can you defeat all of them?

The crutch is wet.

I can walk by myself.

As if I'm concerned about you.

Chen Maidong,

you owe me a favor.

Fine.

I'll return the favor the way you want it.

What about Chen Maidong?

He has no role in the play.

He and I will play the two trees.

Zhuang Jie,

you're pretty courageous, aren't you?

Seems like

everyone was wrong about you back then.

Maybe the crutch I used during my youth

sealed me away for that particular moment.

But I started living my life

after Chen Maidong undid the seal on it.

If that's the case,

all those

intimate moments between you and him,

did you plan for them from the start?

Go away.

Why does everything sound wrong

when you talk about it?

I'll hang up now.

Hello?

Zhuang Jie, we'll go now. Goodbye.

Are you dumb? Why didn't you bring an umbrella?

You're the dumb one here.

It's inconvenient for me to use an umbrella.

It's a burden for me.

Can't you afford a raincoat, then?

I don't like it.

It looks ugly.

Get on.

I can't jump onto your back.

You're so heavy.

Look. It's Chen Maidong and Zhuang Jie.

Yeah.

Since when were they this close?

Chen Maidong,

you must've done something wrong again.

Did our teacher make you carry Zhuang Jie?

Do you need any help?

Look at him. He's as cocky as ever.

Precisely.

Let's go.

Where did you go? It's late now, you know?

You know that it's late too, huh?

I was planning to find you.

Of all the functions to learn on a smartphone,

you could put it on silent and turn off.

I can't even find you.

Enough. Stop nagging.

You nag like an old man.

It's dark now, you know?

You should send me a voice message

or told me what time you'd come back.

How many times have I told you this?

I don't like to be interrupted

when I chat with my friends.

I've been taking the same path my entire life.

Why would I get lost?

You're worried for nothing.

Fine. It's my fault.

Tell me what's your fault.

Everything's my fault.

You're brushing me off.

It's your fault

for not having a nightlife.

That's why you keep bothering me.

I was pretty happy

when I saw that you were leaving.

I thought "You're grown up and asked Jie out..."

Please stop.

Stop right there.

What the heck is wrong with her?

I'm sure she's gone mad.

You two must've lost your mind!

Speak for yourself!

What? Anything else?

If not, return to your rooms.

Jie,

actually,

let me say this first.

What is this?

Is this a facial mask?

Jie, why are you

wearing a helmet when you're going to sleep?

Are you addicted to riding motorcycles?

Although I'm wearing a mask,

I'm not blind.

I can see what you two are doing,

you know?

Jie,

we're truly worried about you.

Why do you say so?

Actually, we found out

about your relationship with Chen Maidong.

Which part?

Stop trying to avoid the topic.

Chen Maidong does have a great image.

He Niaoniao.

However,

this playboy

relied on his good looks and toyed with our sister back then.

And now, he's trying to do the same thing.

We'll never agree to it.

Chen Maidong? Playboy?

Who told you?

Actually, I don't believe her either.

I have the feeling that she watched too many dramas.

Yan, how could you say that?

You were the one who said Jie was the local ugly duckling.

You said she had the potential of getting gaslighted.

That's a private conversation.

You didn't have to tell her about it.

- It's like you're revealing our chat history. - You betrayed.

You're a terrible teammate.

There's nothing

between us.

Chen Maidong is pretty nice.

He helped me out before.

But you see,

he never fell for me.

We were just classmates.

What gives him the right to not fall for you?

That's not it. He just didn't fall for her.

He Niaoniao,

there's an issue with the way you analyze things.

What gives him the right to not fall for you?

Who knows?

I didn't do any research on it.

If so,

Jie, do you like him?

To be honest,

I don't know what it feels like

to like someone

genuinely.

Here, give it a try.

Chen Maidong.

Talk.

About what?

Stop pretending.

I attended the meeting this afternoon.

I encountered Zhuang Jie.

But we didn't have a chance to talk.

After that, her legs started aching.

I rode my bike and sent her home.

And then?

That's all.

I rebuked her.

You actually rebuked Jie?

She doesn't speak nicely at all.

She was much better when she was younger.

And, she's noisy too.

Even a dog hates her.

You!

More like the dog hates you!

Chen Maidong,

are you

mentally ill?

You're actually picking faults

with a fine girl like Jie?

Our personalities don't match at all.

You have two choices.

First choice,

come with me to the TCM center tomorrow

and see if you're sick up in the head

or down below.

Grandma...

If you're sick,

I'll sell everything I have

to treat your disease.

If you're not sick,

here's your second choice.

From now on,

you better court Jie with everything you have.

If you dare to offend her,

I'll break your legs.

You better do everything you can

to please her

as long as she's still here.

Chen Maidong,

what's your choice?

Did you hear me?

I did.

I'll court her.

You better start tomorrow.

I'm busy tomorrow.

You!

You're forcing me to make an appearance, aren't you?

You better don't regret it!

I once read about this in a picture book.

The feeling of liking someone

is the kind of feeling that makes you smile

even when

you're exhausted.

Have you not read it before?

Seems like our sister is a rare gem.

Please enlighten me as well.

If so, have you ever

felt lost all of a sudden

when you look into the mirror,

as if your reflection

is a stranger to you?

Nope.

It's because I'm so pretty.

I'll only

become illiterate when I'm forced

to make corrections to my workbooks.

Jie,

why are you

staying home so long this time around?

Yan and I feel the same.

We don't believe

that you're on your annual leave.

You see,

I went for gallbladder surgery.

In addition, I fell out of love.

That's why I wish to recuperate at home.

- You went for surgery? - You were in love?

Don't shout.

It's just a minor surgery.

It's nothing.

I didn't get into a relationship.

It was an unsuccessful relationship.

So,

you didn't miss Chen Maidong at all.

You weren't psychologically wounded either.

Do you know how old I am?

I'm not that dramatic.

But I was happy

when I saw Chen Maidong.

I'll still survive even when I don't see him.

If so, between the guy

whom you almost dated

and Chen Maidong,

who's better?

Chen Maidong.

If so, that guy...

Let's not bring him up, okay?

Relationships are tough.

So are our lives.

There's no end to our suffering.

Let me give you a piece of advice.

What is it?

Stop looking into the mirror.

Go and socialize with people.

By the way, Jie,

you have to help me look after Jisan Goose

when I return to school tomorrow.

Don't let Mom braise it.

Are you not quitting school anymore?

I've straightened out my thoughts.

I have to be educated before doing anything.

I knew that my brother would figure things out.

As for your goose, you have to depend on He Niaoniao.

After all, I won't be staying here for long.

I may be a terrible teammate,

but she isn't.

Actually, she's the most reliable sibling

among us.

After all, she inherited Mr. He's genes.
