=Will Love In Spring=

(Adapted from the original work "Lover" by She Mu Si)

=Episode 11=

Hurry up and memorize it.

I have other things to do later.

The bright moon separates the branches and scares the magpies.

Cicadas chirp in the midnight breeze.

The fragrance of rice flowers speaks of a good harvest.

Listen to the cacophony of frogs.

Stars flicker in the night sky.

A drizzle falls upon the mountain.

The old straw shack still stands beside the temple.

Appearing at the end of the bridge.

Awesome, Niaoniao.

You're improving rapidly.

You can flatter me.

But you still have to pay

for your massage.

Sure.

I'll definitely pay.

Big news. Big news.

Just now…

Wow.

It was frightening.

What's wrong?

That Grandma Chen.

You know Chen Maidong from the funeral parlor?

His grandmother.

What's wrong?

Mother, hurry up and say it!

Grandma Chen

was carrying a sickle

and breaking into someone's yard.

Then she started a fight with the family by herself.

Is she okay?

She is an old lady.

Who dares to touch her?

What could happen to her?

Mother.

Why?

Which family?

I heard Chen Maidong got into a fight

with somebody last night.

The opponent is

a guy released from prison.

I think he is called Hedgehog.

There was a big commotion.

Even the police were there.

The old lady said she

gave her grandson a beating first.

Then, she took a sickle

and went to that brat's house.

She said she wanted to personally

fight him to death.

Where are you going?

It has ended. They went home long ago.

Mother.

Madam Wu persuaded her

to drop it and go home.

Mother, continue to test me

on the second unit?

The Long March.

Your sister...

What a busybody.

Red Army embraces difficulties.

Thousands of rivers and mountains are no tribulation.

Grandma.

You came, Jie.

Grandma.

You are spending money again.

Eat more fruits.

You are so well-informed.

Thank you, Grandma.

Grandma.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

You think that little hedgehog

could prick me?

It smells good.

Are you making chicken soup?

The free-range chickens your family sells

have a really good meat texture.

You don't have to buy it the next time.

I'll deliver them to you.

No way.

That's a different matter.

Why don't you drink a bowl later?

I don't eat chicken.

Our whole family doesn't eat chicken.

I've been smelling it since I was young.

The thing about the fight.

Please don't think of

this old lady as a bully.

I can't let bad people

stay around Dong.

His accomplishments today

did not come by easy.

Jie.

Go up and tell Dong to come down and eat.

He hasn't eaten for a day.

He's upstairs?

Okay.

I'm coming in.

You knew you made a mistake, right?

That's why you are hiding here.

I thought someone

had gotten worse at fighting.

It turns out that he just doesn't fight at work.

How old are you?

I see you still get hurt in fights.

Rabbit grandson.

Do you want to starve to death?

Leave me alone.

I didn't want to care about you.

Grandma asked me to call you to eat.

What are you here for?

To look at the laughingstock.

It's not every day you see one.

Let me ask you something.

Go ahead.

Have you ever

thought about me romantically?

Certainly.

So, am I not as attractive as Shanghai?

Or am I worse than

the guy at the barbecue restaurant?

Did you really start a fight because of this?

So not worth it.

Do you still have feelings for him,

but regret not being able to be with him?

Does the look on my face that day seem like I'm still holding on to him?

So what are your plans now?

What plans?

You.

And me.

No plans.

Man proposes, god disposes.

Nothing ever

goes according to my plan anyway.

I'd rather wish for more inspiration.

Stop getting off-topic.

Have you not thought about it or are you pretending you didn't?

I didn't think about it.

Then what is our relationship right now?

I'm asking you.

This is the first time you asked me this.

You have to let me think about it.

Still thinking?

If you haven't figured it out.

Why are you flirting with me?

Do you have too much free time?

You did it too.

I asked you to send medicinal patch,

and to go to the barbecue restaurant?

It seems like I judged you incorrectly.

Chen Maidong.

Chen Maidong.

Leave.

Wretched rascal.

If I ever respond to you again,

I'm a fool.

Do you still dare to fight?

Yes.

You.

How dare you?

Give me back the chicken soup.

If we keep on tolerating this kind of person,

he will just be more daring.

Oh, so it's your job to teach him a lesson now?

Show-off.

What's wrong with the corner of your lips?

It wasn't injured yesterday.

Did Jie hit you?

I told you!

Sooner or later, someone will deal with you!

Thanks.

This is spirulina.

It's good for your health.

Tastes good.

Grandma Lin.

Look.

We live in the same town.

I admired you for a long time.

However, I failed to visit you

as the Women's Director.

I've neglected my duty.

Madam Wu is always busy.

Why the sudden visit?

Well,

I just hope that

you can give me some pointers.

Madam Wu, you are too kind.

What can I give you advice on?

The rumors in the town

are all without truth.

How can that be possible?

The year before last, the Xu family

listened to your advice

and stopped quarreling.

Look at them, they are living their best.

There was also Feng's family.

They listened to your words.

They went to get some medicine.

This year,

they gave birth to a big chubby boy.

We were just chatting.

Maybe it's because I'm getting old.

I have experienced more things.

I could see the other aspects of a problem. That's all.

Grandma Lin.

Just stop being modest, okay?

If I wasn't almost going crazy,

I wouldn't have come here to trouble you.

My daughter, you know her, right?

She was in this relationship.

They were super into it.

But I don't know why

she as an aunt had to

date her distant nephew.

I, being her mother

was so ashamed

that I couldn't even lift my head.

Go straight to the point.

Yes. Sure.

The two of them

finally overcame all the difficulties

and got married, right?

Life was pretty good too.

They are so lovey-dovey but with no results to show for it.

Oh, come on.

Her daughter and son-in-law

are really tough to deal with.

In public or not,

they would hug and kiss

whenever they wanted.

They've been married for three or four years, right?

But they haven't got a child yet.

In your words.

What was it?

Determined but incapacitated.

She wanted to come to you for a long time.

To get your advice.

See if there are any ways to solve it.

Maybe the both of them

want a few more years

to just the two of themselves?

I understand this.

Aren't we all

like this when we were young?

Oh, goodness.

I wasn't like that when I was young.

Then I was married in a proper manner.

I had a baby the next year.

People of our generation, am I right?

Especially people of your generation.

Chasity was important.

Who would be like them?

They don't care anything.

Me.

This is you?

So, if you are asking me

about this matter,

you got the wrong person.

Some people think

the love of a man and a woman

can only burn for so many years in a lifetime.

But I

do not think so.

One's life is one's own.

Let them be.

Otherwise, when you are old.

And when you look back.

You will regret it.

I have a good idea

of how to promote the Vacuum Chicken.

In two days,

you can go to the pharmaceutical factory.

I heard that

their year-end employee gifts

are really good.

Last year, everyone was given a box of organic oil,

a few bags of vacuum beef,

and organic rice.

You can try to sell Vacuum Chicken of yours.

You helped to sell yams in the town.

That was done beautifully.

Everyone is grateful to you

from their hearts.

No matter what, they would return the favor.

Why are you always

touching your lips?

Is the weather so dry that your skin is peeling?

Tomorrow, I'll send you a lip mask.

No need. I still have some.

Then what's wrong with you?

Alright.

I'm hanging up.

I have a morning meeting tomorrow.

Wang Xixia.

What?

You're hesitating a lot today.

Then what is our relationship right now?

Say,

deep down, am I

a cowardly person?

If we're talking about this,

I'm suddenly not sleepy anymore.

I vaguely smelled it.

The smell of gossip.

Screw off.

I'm just a little disappointed in myself.

(Clock: Chen Maidong reminds you to change the medicinal patch!)

Wait a minute, I'm changing my medicinal patch.

Okay.

Change it.

Ji Tong and I have been at odds for more than three years.

I've always thought

that there's something wrong with him.

But today I suddenly realized

maybe deep inside me

I lack the courage to catch feelings.

I can't blame it on others.

Zhuang Jie, let me remind you.

If you dare to

give Ji Tong another chance…

What are you saying?

I'm reflecting on myself.

Looking at my nature through observation.

What's the use of reflection?

You have to take a practical step forward.

Otherwise, you would just be running in circles.

Makes sense.

(Ancestral secret recipe Address: Huangpu District, Shanghai)

Wang Xixia.

In fact, the both of us are similar.

We're both sick deep down.

We have to grow together.

Take care of yourself first.

So, no more gossip?

I'm going to sleep.

Wait a minute.

Before you go to bed, I want to ask a favor from you.

Say it.

I recently discovered a medicinal patch.

It works wonders for my nerve pain.

But it's limited in stock.

I looked at the

founder's traditional Chinese medicine clinic in Shanghai.

Send me the address. I'll buy it.

Don't agree too quickly.

What if you fail to buy it?

Stop talking nonsense.

As long as you need it,

I will go through trials to get it for you.

But now

let me go to bed first.

Okay?

Bye.

Big Brother Cui.

That's all the help I can give you.

(Medicinal patch instructions)

What are you doing?

Did you see a ghost?

I got the wrong person.

What's wrong?

Is your boss still stalking you?

It seems that your company is quite relaxed.

He can afford to leisurely hang out in our town.

He's leaving today.

Stop complaining.

You still have to send him off.

Why's that?

Just to be polite.

I better just go see him off.

I don't understand.

He goes his way.

You live your life.

Do you have to be so sneaky

and absent-minded?

I'm telling you, Zhuang Jie.

I can't stand

a woman who loses her composure for a man.

Hello.

What do you want?

I want four chicken wings.

A whole braised chicken.

Okay.

You haven't got time for breakfast, have you?

Your job at the funeral parlor

must be tough.

Leaving so early.

Four chicken wings.

A whole braised chicken.

I put them together here for you.

Okay.

Scan here, right?

Yes.

Okay, here you go.

Thanks.

Goodbye.

Okay.

Thanks.

Master, it's all yours.

You obviously had breakfast.

Hai,

if I may be frank…

I know.

If we don't leave, we'll be late.

But I'm not driving today.

What's the use of hinting to me?

Ji Tong.

Have a safe journey.

I waited for you for several days.

But I couldn't even see you a second time.

We are both prideful people.

I understand you.

You are stubborn for your own sake.

I refuse for my own sake, too.

So,

let's end it here.

That's the best for both of us.

Sure.

I understand.

(Nanping North Station)

Master.

Hai has already picked up the body.

Leave the rest of the process to me.

You can go home and rest.

You have the night shift tonight.

Deaths from unexpected illnesses

will have many cumbersome procedures.

That's it, I'm leaving first.

We're in Nanping.

We don't do French farewell.

Zhuang Jie.

You've changed a lot.

Maybe

you misunderstood me in the past?

That's not important.

You could at least send me to my seat, right?

Everyone who is sending off passengers

alights the train quickly.

The train is leaving soon.

Master.

Master.

Master.

Goodbye.

Jamie.

Jamie.

Is there really no hope for us?

Ji Tong, let go of me.

Let go of me.

Chen Maidong.

Who do you think you are?

Did no one teach you in Shanghai

to not force a woman?

Chen Maidong.

You like this, right?

Like what?

You enjoy being tugged by a man

in the public, right?

Waiting for others to take photos of you, right?

Chen Maidong.

Are you being stupid again?

Not as stupid as you.

Where to?

I want to go to the pharmaceutical factory to try my luck.

You want to make a business deal?

I want to promote our Vacuum Chicken.

I want to try to be a part of the factory's year-end gifts.

Have you made an appointment in advance?

No.

That's why I said I'm trying my luck.

Okay.

I'll send you there first.

Aren't you going back to work?

It's okay, it's lunch break now.

Taxi.

Hello, Miss Wang Xixia.

It's your turn. Please follow me.

Okay.

Let's go.

Let's go.

This way, please.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Hello.

I recently discovered a medicinal patch

that works wonders for my nerve pain.

But it's limited in stock.

When I saw this founder's

traditional Chinese medicine clinic

in Shanghai.

I thought it was a duplicate name.

I didn't expect it to really be you.

Have a seat.

Give me your arm.

You don't need to be so embarrassed about your illness, do you?

If you are sick, you should get it cured.

I'm unlucky,

not embarrassed.

It seems you really

hate me a lot.

Did you think

I was just pretending before this?

Indeed, I noticed.

Well, in the past,

I really don't know how I

managed to offend you.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

Once you leave my clinic,

go 700 meters south.

It's another medicine clinic.

They're not bad.

Why don't you go there and have a look?

I'm not sick.

My friend asked me to come over to buy some patches.

She told me it's developed here.

It's not sold anywhere else.

The friend with a leg problem?

How did you know she has problems with her leg?

Because I'm really a doctor.

I didn't say you weren't.

I'm asking how you can tell.

Well, when you were both talking loudly

about buying underwear…

Don't mention the underwear thing.

Okay.

Do you sell the medicinal patches?

You have to order them.

I want to order 50 then.

There is no need to stock up on this.

First, you have to see if it works.

20 should suffice.

I'll pay you then.

Pay on delivery.

Please leave your phone number and address.

If you don't want to come again by yourself,

I'll get someone to deliver it to you.

I'll write it down at the front desk.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Zhuang Jie, are you trying to trick me on purpose?

Do you think I can't beat you to death

because we're far apart?

Buy the medicinal patches?

You're so efficient.

As expected from my true besties.

Don't blame me for this.

I really need this patch.

Also, I did warn you.

I told you not to agree too early.

But this is the last time I'll do something like this.

If you and Cui Ge

are really incompatible,

don't force it.

I went to the pharmaceutical factory today.

It didn't work out.

I didn't see the person in charge.

They told me that this year's gifts

were all distributed.

Are you waiting for me?

Of course.

You didn't tell me in advance.

What if I'm in there

for a very long time?

I expected you to be out of luck.

It's not easy to hail a taxi out here.

Can you predict the future?

Why did you think I'd be out of luck?

Let's go.

Let's eat first.

Depending on my mood,

I will decide if I want to give you some pointers.

Here.

Take it easy.

Tao.

I understand now.

All children

are debt collectors.

I told you already.

Children have their own lives.

Don't bother to get involved.

It will only trouble you.

Why bother?

Okay.

We're at this age already.

It's better to take care of yourself.

Come.

Let me tell you.

You can say this easily because you don't have my problems.

Zhuang Jie takes care of herself well.

You don't understand

my mood at all.

Oh, come on.

She? Taking care of herself?

A few years ago,

I couldn't sleep because I was worried about finding her a partner.

In the blink of an eye,

she is almost thirty.

I have moved on.

It's fine if she doesn't get a partner.

At worst, when she's old and I'm dead,

she and Wang Xixia

can go to a nursing home together.

I think that's pretty good.

That's true.

Zhuang Jie

is capable.

She knows

what she is doing.

Not like my daughter.

She likes to

do some conspicuous feats in town.

What a disgrace.

That's because

you've spoiled them since young.

It's too late to worry about this now.

If Zhuang Jie

dared to act crudely

getting tangled with some guy,

kissing and touching in town.

I don't even have to tell her fortune.

I'll just take her life.

Chen Maidong.

This dish looks good.

Because I made it.

Not my grandma.

How do you know I had no chance at the pharmaceutical factory?

Do you have to go straight to the point?

It's not the first day you've known me.

The pharmaceutical factory is the leading enterprise in town.

They have a lot to consider when it comes to gifts.

They will either first

support new industries in town

or take care of college students who are returnee entrepreneurs.

A private self-employed body like you? No chance.

I'm a returnee entrepreneur too.

Do you count as one?

Why not?

I'm an old college student who found her way back.

Is that not allowed?

Sure it is.

But these college students

have to settle in town.

Can you do that?

Then I really can't do it.

Eat first.

Do the patches work?

Of course.

It's colder the past couple of days.

I'm still alive and kicking.

That's good.

I'll get more later.

It's alright.

I found the source.

I asked Wang Xixia to buy it for me.

You're going to throw me away after using me?

Great.

What do you know?

I just might cause a love to blossom.

You haven't even figured out your own affairs yet.

Who said that?

I have never been a sloppy person.

Come on.

If I hadn't saved you from Ji Tong,

you would have been dragged to Shanghai.

Nonsense.

I made it clear to him

at the barbecue restaurant that day.

I'm almost 30.

I'm not some

young girl, obsessed with love.

I know how to protect myself better than anyone.

My views on marriage and love are very realistic.

The men who mind my disability

from the core of their being.

I can understand. But I won't like them.

Because they are the ones

who let this disability be a problem.

Not me.

You have a sober mind.

I'm sober because I'm calculative.

One is calculative when there's a lack of love.

It's the same for both persons.

For grown-ups to approach love like a moth attracted to fire.

It's not easy.

That's why,

Everyone has to face reality.

The romantic scenes.

The urge to kiss and hug.

They can't feed a person.

Are you trying to brainwash me again?

Are you going to say since we're grown-ups

we shouldn't take things too seriously?

Chen Maidong.

I like you.

That's for real.

But I love Shanghai more.

This is the reality

between you and me.

Chen Maidong.

The most admirable thing about you

is that you are willing to listen to women.

And you understand it too.

Unlike some men

who are disabled like me.

They have ears

but never listen to

what the woman is saying.

Stop flattering me.

Okay.

Let's get to the point.

Dong, please give me some pointers.

What other policies does the town have for returnees

to promote the Vacuum Chicken?

Don't always think of taking advantage of the town.

Leave the good policies

to those who need them more.

We don't have it easy either.

Then use your brain.

Don't always look at the pharmaceutical factories.

The stone quarries in town

have nearly a thousand employees.

They also need to give gifts.

I am even less familiar with stone quarries.

I'm familiar with them.

Wait for the news.

Thank you, Dong.

Look at your snobbery.

Give it back.

I'm not full yet.

What's the situation?

Madam Wu just left.

She was crying.

She was all tears.

Our mother was also shrouded in a fog of melancholy.

Fog of melancholy.

It's okay.

Madam Wu's menopause

is longer than your puberty.

Stop making fun of us middle-aged women.

Sooner or later, you two will face the same fate.

I was wrong.

I had a bad attitude.

I will go downstairs and reflect.

Send it to Grandma Lin

at the veterinary clinic in town

on behalf of Madam Wu.

Why is Madam Wu giving Grandma Lin money?

Is her old dog sick?

Why are you cursing her dog?

Madam Wu was asking for a solution

from Grandma Lin

for her clumsy daughter.

Although it didn't help much,

Madam Wu is a very particular person.

She wants to express her gratitude.

Sure, I'll deliver it when I'm free.

Mother.

Don't be like Madam Wu.

Don't simply get my fortune told.

You wish.

I won't ask for anyone's help.

I can take care of the children I birthed myself.

I don't need to ask about your fortunes.

Thank you, Mr. Shao.

I will not let you down.

The stone quarry's annual gifts

will be presentable and beautiful.

You're welcome.

Let's help each other.

Before, you helped

Yanggou Village sell their yams.

Everyone in the town remembers it.

It's a small matter.

But the stone quarry selecting Liaogen Chicken

is a really timely help for my family.

Don't say that.

I did not make this decision myself.

Maidong

played a greater role.

Wait a moment.

I thought Chen Maidong

sent my WeChat to you

as a recommendation.

How can that be?

He is such a thoughtful person.

Not only did he tell our factory director

about your family's situation,

he even guaranteed the product himself.

When the factory director's father passed away,

he received Maidong's favor.

He has been waiting to return this favor.

Maidong

hasn't requested anything in so many years.

Then our factory director

was certainly eager to help.

Okay.

Thank you, Mr. Shao.

I should go.

Sure.

Take care.

Thank you.

Chen Maidong.

Chen Maidong.

Chen Maidong.

Why did you come?

What happened?

You did such a big thing.

Why didn't you take any credit?

I'm asking you a question.

You really like me, don't you?

Stop joking around.

Grandma is not at home.

I just met her.

All the same.

It's not convenient.

Acting like a fool, huh?

Why are you acting like a fool?

Don't regret it later.

Who cares about you?

I pity you.

Look at your mouth.

Your lips are cracked.

I came here to thank you

for the deal with the quarry.

Don't worry.

I will work hard.

I won't embarrass you.

Why are you so scared?

Gender equality.

I won't use force on you either.
