[The Way Home]

[Episode 8]

I was pretty lucky earlier.

It was the last one,

and an older man had taken it,

but he was kind enough to give it to me.

Lucky you indeed.

I have to say,

the man earlier was kind of handsome.

He was wearing a floral shirt,

but he had too much oil in his hair,

which made it look a bit greasy.

Excuse me, sir,

can the food be served a bit faster, please?

What's wrong, Jiashu?

I want to go to the bathroom.

Excuse me.

Are our dishes ready?

Shu.

You must help me.

Just once.

One last time.

When my nightclub opens,

I'll pay you back when I make money.

I told you

I had no money.

I already paid the deposit.

If I can't pay the balance,

I can't take the deposit back.

And I'll go broke.

Get out of here.

Get out!

That was your cousin, right?

If you don't have any money, I'll ask him.

The He family is rich.

They can't be without money.

Stay away from him.

Do you hear me?

Do you hear me?

Jiashu, stop!

Jiashu.

Are you okay?

I heard you.

You're looking for Jiashu

for money.

Tell me.

How much money do you need

to disown him?

Okay, I'll give it to you.

Count the money. It's exactly 500 yuan.

Kid.

What do you mean?

Am I a beggar?

I'm talking about half a million.

Fifty thousand.

Disown Jiashu.

We'll get a lawyer and go through the legal process.

If you disagree,

I won't give you this fifty thousand.

Jiashu.

You wanted me to sign

the property transfer agreement, right?

I'll sign it.

All right.

Fifty thousand. That's a deal.

Okay.

However,

I need some time.

I'll call you when the money is ready.

Let's go, Jiashu.

Come on.

Jiashu.

Don't worry.

I will protect you.

I'll think of something.

It's useless.

He's a bottomless pit.

Money won't solve the problem.

Don't worry about it.

Tell me the truth.

How long has he been pestering you?

Don't lie to me. I can tell.

It was not the first time he came to you.

He came to us ever

since my mom and I left the He family

and came to Chaozhou.

It's me, Huiling.

What are you doing here?

I told you

not to come to my place.

Get out of here.

You wouldn't give me the money.

What can I do?

Where's the money?

Where did you put the money?

I can give you the money.

Get out of here first.

All right.

I'll leave as soon as I get the money.

Every time I ask you for money,

it's troublesome.

I can only come

to your house to look for money.

You've got the money now.

Get out of here.

Jiashu will be home from school soon.

That's great.

It's time for us,

father and son, to meet.

Pour me some tea.

Lin Junrong.

You told me you would leave when you got the money,

and you won't go after Jiashu.

What's wrong?

Is Jiashu ashamed of me

as a father?

Or is he ashamed

because he is an illegitimate child?

Shut up!

I'm telling you.

If you don't want to get Jiashu in trouble,

be good and give me money.

Otherwise,

I'll go to his school

and tell his classmates

about his origins.

Is there any money in there?

Get out of here.

Get out.

You're annoying.

Do you know who I am?

I'm your father.

I'm your real father!

How dare you hit me?

My father died a long time ago.

Get out of here!

Jiashu.

All right.

All right.

I already got the money.

I

Won't dispute with you today.

See you next time.

Sorry, Shu.

I'm sorry.

Hello.

Hello, Huiling.

I'm short of money these days.

Transfer me some money.

I just transferred the money to you.

You only gave me 5000 last week.

That's very little money.

Give me more.

I'm begging you.

Leave me alone.

You're a bottomless pit.

Drop the act.

Aren't you keeping the He family's money?

Don't even think about it.

I left that money for Shu.

Dear teachers and students.

Welcome to the Voice of Youth

on the campus radio station at Chaozhou University.

We spread the news of the campus

and follow the current affairs of the campus.

Lin Junrong, where are you?

What do you think?

I'm where I can see my son.

I've told you many times.

Come at me.

Don't come at Shu.

Wait for me at school.

Don't go anywhere.

I'll see you there.

Okay.

Jiashu!

Here!

Huiling.

Huiling!

Huiling, are you okay?

Huiling!

Mom.

Hello, are you the owner's son?

Yes.

Your mom was in a car accident on the Outer Ring Road.

Come here now.

Lin Junrong.

Were you talking to my mom?

What did you tell her?

What did you tell her?

What did you say?

Tell me!

Tell me!

Jiashu.

I know you're worried about me.

I grew up and grew taller.

He can't do anything to me.

And...

We are cousins.

If there's trouble,

we'll deal with it together.

Hao.

Grandpa.

Have you been

coming home so late lately?

Have you been

going to tutoring?

You went to see Jiashu, right?

I...

How is Jiashu?

He grew taller.

He became more handsome.

He's doing great.

Good.

That's good.

All right.

You

go to sleep.

Rest early.

Rest early, Grandpa.

Go.

[Xiqiao Tongren Hospital]

How's it going?

What did the doctor say?

I have to keep taking my medicine.

However,

the dosage will be reduced a lot.

The doctor said I was emotionally stable

and getting better.

You brat.

You played me.

Since you're in good health,

run to the martial arts school.

Wait, Jiashu.

It's a few kilometers from the martial arts school.

It's none of my business.

Wait for me, Jiashu.

Jiashu.

Wait for me.

[Junyilong Sports Club]

He Jiahao.

Jiashu.

You're sweating a lot.

You just finished training.

I'll mop you up.

No, thanks.

Why are you sweating so much?

I'll mop you up.

What are you doing here?

Did you hear the news?

What news?

The dragon boat race in the village will be changed this year.

I'm calling you here today

to talk to you

about the dragon boat race.

The race starts in 15 days.

But this year is different from previous years.

This year's preliminary round is very important.

In the preliminary round of this year,

we will play against the strongest team, Xiaodun Village.

The winning team gets to represent the town

in the city

and provincial competitions.

This team.

We must pick

the best rowers and form a team.

The venue of the preliminary round

is in our village.

We're going to play against Xiaodun Village.

The game is in 15 days.

We must work hard.

We don't have much time.

Right, man?

Yes.

Well...

Chief.

Our village only has one boat

and twenty-two places.

Who will be

the rowers?

I'm calling you here today

to discuss about it.

Dragon boat racing

is a traditional event here.

Yes.

Every family should send some good rowers.

The rich should contribute money,

the strong should contribute labor.

Hongguang.

What do you think?

Let me say something.

All right.

Well.

Dragon boat racing

is a century-old tradition

and family heritage.

Say something.

I don't know.

And it's a symbol

of the Qiaonan spirit.

That's right.

As the old saying goes,

one boat

represents one heart.

What is our Xiqiao's boat

about?

It's about

all in this together.

Right.

Good.

Everyone can say nice things.

Yeah.

Right?

The point is

to solve the problem.

We must pass

on the spirit.

We should also focus

on the game.

I have a suggestion.

It's just an idea.

Just an idea.

You can also say what you think.

Well.

Each family

has a maximum

of two places.

Each family

goes back

and picks out

its best

two rowers.

How about it?

Chief.

Some families

don't have good rowers.

Should they

give up their places?

Yes.

Mr. He.

After Jiashu left,

no one in your family could row.

Why don't you give up your places

to my family?

Junli

is a good rower.

I also have several nephews.

They are also good rowers.

They will

bring glory to our village.

Good.

Chen.

Who says my family doesn't have rowers?

We have Jiahao.

Jiahao.

Can his body handle it?

He's not in good health.

Don't let him take part in this dangerous sport.

If he gets hurt,

it's not worth it. Right?

Right...

What do you mean?

What?

I heard

Jiahao collapsed at school the other day.

He's not in good health. Don't let him play.

Why bother?

If something happens to him,

what should we do?

Chief, am I right?

Chen.

Who says Jiahao is in poor health?

You cursed my son, didn't you?

Come on.

I'm telling the truth.

I'm telling you.

There's something I've wanted to say for a long time.

Now that I have the chance,

I will speak frankly.

Your He family

has been sitting

on the manger

for years.

Yeah.

Our Chen family

moved here from out of town.

Right?

But over the years,

our Chen family

has donated a lot of money

to the village.

Your He family

is a century-old family.

You're a respectable family.

So what?

Your family

doesn't have many descendants

and has no successor.

Chen.

Nonsense!

What's wrong?

Am I wrong?

Let's ask everyone.

Did I say anything wrong?

Don't talk nonsense!

I'm telling you!

I'm not done with you!

You must make it clear!

Stop!

I'm not done with you.

Stop!

One boat, one heart.

Stop arguing!

I won't fight with him.

What's wrong with you?

Why are you pulling a long face at dinner?

You're putting us out of the mood for dinner.

Yeah.

Come on.

Dad.

I can't

stand today.

What's wrong?

You didn't see what Chan did.

He insulted

our He family.

"Your He family"

"doesn't have many descendants."

What did he mean?

He made it very clear.

He wanted an extra place.

Just give it to them.

He was right.

Our He family doesn't have a rower.

What's wrong with you?

Don't say it if you don't know what to say.

What are you talking about?

We have Jiahao.

Hongguang.

Why are you yelling at Juan?

With Jiahao's current physical condition,

he can't row.

After that incident eight years ago,

he was reluctant to go near the water,

let alone row a boat.

What?

Are you going to follow him

with a rod

and make him row?

I'm telling you.

You can't put any more pressure on Jiahao

with his current physical condition.

If this was before...

I...

Eat.

Just eat.

All right.

Let's not talk about the past.

Let's eat.

Come on.

Eat.

Dad.

I can row.

What do you mean?

I mean,

I can represent our family

in the dragon boat racing.

Jiahao.

Jiahao.

You don't have to be so proud.

Your dad's words don't matter.

The most important thing now

is your body.

I'm all right.

I can do it.

Hao.

Aren't you afraid of water anymore?

That's great.

He overcame the psychological barrier.

As his elders,

we should encourage him.

Right?

That's right.

See?

He's the heir of our He family.

Hao.

Are you sure you can do it?

Good.

You're my good son.

Hao.

You don't have to be very good.

Dragon boat racing

is all about momentum.

Do you understand?

Come here.

Sit down.

Sit down and eat.

Sit down.

Sit.

Give it to me.

Come on, son.

Eat more.

Thanks, Dad.

Come on.

Thank you, Grandpa.

Eat.

Don't let this delay your studies.

You have to work on both.

Got it.

Hao.

Do you need a coach

to teach you how to row a dragon boat?

No.

I have a coach.

Who is your coach?

Long's martial arts school

held a training camp for the race.

I'm already signed up.

The Chen family's son.

He's okay.

But

you can only go there after school.

Understand?

Yes, Dad.

Come on.

Let Jiahao eat.

Yeah.

Come on.

Come.

Eat.

Thanks, Auntie.

And this.

Okay.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Coming.

Come.

How about it?

Have you figured it out?

Are you really going to take part in the dragon boat race?

It's different this time.

I really want to play with everyone.

Okay.

I won't be here

for the training.

Long will be busy.

He may not be able to take care of you.

Don't train too hard.

Don't hurt yourself.

Jiashu.

I told my dad about the dragon boat race.

He was very supportive.

Really?

Jiashu.

People change.

Maybe one day

he'll accept you.

Things may not be

as bad as we think.

Let's eat.

It's going to be cold.

He Jiahao.

Did you have breakfast?

I brought you breakfast.

I've had breakfast. Thank you.

-The only one. -It's all right.

What are you doing here?

Did you come to the wrong place?

This is

where we train for dragon boating.

This is not the place for you to brag.

What?

Did your family host the race?

Is anyone not allowed to come?

Do you also want to row?

The only son.

Can you do it?

Don't drag us down.

Mind your own business.

I'm not talking to you.

Why are you angry?

What?

Are you He Jiahao's spokesperson?

By the way,

what are you doing here?

We're here to play a game.

We're not playing house.

Fatty, you can participate in the race.

Why can't I?

Why are you telling me this?

Don't you know your weight?

Am I fat now?

Yes.

I managed to lose the weight.

Fatty.

You're fat!

Don't you know

how fat you were when you were a kid?

You're fat!

What?

Be quiet.

Be quiet, everybody.

Listen to me.

I am

the heir to the host of this training camp,

Junyilong Sports Club.

And I'm the head coach of the training camp.

I'm Chen Long'an.

Give me a hand.

If you want to row a dragon boat,

first of all,

make sure that you are sitting

in the correct position.

Like this.

Keep your body steady.

Then, keep your feet firmly

on the pedals.

Then,

grab the paddle with both hands.

How to grab it?

Hold the top

with your thumb and forefinger with one hand.

The bottom hand

stays one punch away

from the bottom of it.

Like this.

When your lower hand goes back,

straighten your upper body.
