[The Way Home]

[Episode 13]

Hello?

So, how do you like the place?

Today?

You're moving out today?

Okay.

I'll help you pack,

alright?

OK.

Long.

Where is he?

I'm starving.

Is there any breakfast here?

He Jiahao.

Why are you here?

He wants to see you.

Your mom called and asked me to bring you these.

So heavy.

What's this?

Socks.

Your mom almost wanted to bring you the whole house.

She even asked me to go there tomorrow too.

That's enough.

Enough.

I brought you the books

you left at home.

If you don't even have any books,

how will you attend classes these days?

Aren't you worried about him surpassing you every day?

Why care about his studies?

I want a fair fight.

Fair fight?

Thank you.

There are so many people here.

Jiashu, Long said you went to check out the house.

When are we moving?

In the afternoon.

Afternoon?

Will we have time?

Jiashu, it's done.

[Junyilong Sports Club]

You've cleaned up nicely.

Why are you in such a hurry to leave?

Uncle Cai is waiting for us there.

Go alone.

I won't go with you.

Thanks.

That's enough.

If you're my friend, don't talk so much.

Be direct. Buy me dinner.

Got it.

See you, Long.

Bye, ungrateful brat.

Bye!

Bye, Long!

Here we are.

Uncle Cai.

Uncle Cai.

Jiashu, you're here.

Long has already told me.

It's close to your grandfather's house,

so it's easy for you to visit him.

If you need any help,

feel free to ask.

This is Long's uncle,

Uncle Cai.

Hello, Uncle Cai.

He's the one

who rented me this house.

This is Hao, right?

I moved

to the county seat a long time ago

and don't come back much.

I just come back once in a while to clean up the house,

so it's no wonder you don't know me.

Also, Jiashu,

the care instrument you asked me to buy

will be shipped from Chaozhou in a few days.

Your grandfather will be able to use it soon.

Okay. Thank you, Uncle Cai.

Thank you, Uncle Cai.

Good boy.

I'm going to leave now.

Call me if you need anything.

Bye, Uncle Cai.

Let's go and move our stuff.

Here, Juan, have some tea.

Fill it yourself.

Why are you so grumpy in the morning?

Did I provoke you?

Hongguang.

You're so calm.

Such a big deal happened in our family,

but you act as if nothing happened.

Are business owners like you

always so indifferent

when anything happens?

What?

Don't you care about your own son?

Are you going to let him wander around?

He's almost 18

and a grown man.

He can take care of himself.

You're right.

Hao is almost an adult,

and he's just been a little sick,

a little unwell,

a little moody,

a little stressed,

and a little depressed lately.

Nothing else is wrong with him.

How does he need his parents to follow him around every day?

Wait a minute.

I made this tea.

You're old enough to take care of yourself.

If you can,

make tea yourself from now on.

Wait, I...

It's all your fault.

Geez.

It's only morning,

but not even food can stop you from talking.

I'm just being honest.

How can I be as stubborn and duplicitous as you are?

You deserve it.

How can you talk to me like that?

That's right.

I should talk to you like this.

Please

remember to take care of yourself.

Give it to me. Stop drinking.

Do you need a ride?

No need. There's a bunch of stuff here.

Just tidy it up.

All right. Be safe.

Jiashu.

I want some money.

I have to pay the material fee at school today,

but I forgot to tell my dad yesterday.

How much?

100.

Thank you.

And, I'd like some new shoes, too.

Look at my shoes. They're too old.

Help yourself.

Thank you.

Lihua.

Lihua.

Lihua.

Ling.

Ling.

I'm coming.

What's wrong?

Make me a cup of tea.

I have to take that to work.

Okay.

He.

Listen.

Chen Decai is making trouble at the village hall again.

[Ancestral hall]

That's enough.

I called you all here today to talk,

not to fight, right?

Stop arguing.

In Xiqiao,

for a hundred years,

if there's a problem, we've all talked it out together.

There's nothing that can't be solved by all of us together.

Are two simple things like that

worth all this bickering?

I'll ask again.

Do you agree with the revision of the genealogy?

Yes, we do.

We do agree,

but the money...

We'll put our money together.

Those who have money will pay,

and those who don't will contribute labor.

Right.

No problem.

I agree.

Okay.

Now that

the genealogy is settled,

let's move on to the dragon boat races.

It's not like the old days.

We're competing against other villages and towns,

so it's all about Xiqiao's reputation,

right?

Right.

And there's good news.

This time, the whole town is participating in the race,

but the venue is still Xiqiao Village,

and we're in charge of everything.

This makes here the home field.

Since we have such a great advantage,

we should find a way to unite,

make a hit,

and show it to the villagers of the neighboring villages.

- Right. - Yes.

Show them.

That makes sense.

So,

I propose that, as per the old rules,

you take charge of whatever

you were in charge of in previous years.

That way, nothing goes wrong.

Chief.

You're saying

that in past years, the He family has organized the race,

so this year it's also them?

That's right. Hasn't it always been like that?

The He family has lasted for over 100 years,

and Mr. He Senior is highly respected.

In the old days,

I wouldn't have had any objection

to the He family hosting it,

but we all know

that the He family

is in a bad way.

Mr. He Senior is in a coma.

There is no one to run the family.

And eight years ago,

the scandal of the He family

was known in and outside the village.

Now, speaking of the He family,

one will think

of "illegitimate children" and so on.

It would be a shame

for Xiqiao Village

if everyone in the other villages

heard these rumors.

Everyone, right?

Yes.

Chief, I don't want to think too much.

It's been years,

but

that idiot,

Lin Junrong,

went to the school and made trouble.

Really?

Absolutely true.

How bad could it be

if the word got out?

Yes, that's right.

Their family is not moral.

Isn't that right?

Everyone, right?

Yes, it is.

Chief, He Hongguang

seems like a decent guy,

but to me, he's only what he seems,

right?

Right.

Chief.

I'll be the first one to object

if the He family organizes the race.

Right. I don't agree.

I don't agree.

Such a guy is just not moral.

What do you want then?

Mr. He.

What a coincidence.

There you are.

I have something to discuss with you.

Right, Chief?

Chen Decai.

I'm here.

Just talk to me if there's anything.

Why bother Chief?

That's right.

It's not a big deal.

It's about the dragon boat race.

We don't think the He family

is worthy of hosting the race

and would like you to transfer the hosting rights

so that we can have a fair competition.

It's for the honor of the village.

Fine.

If that's what you all think,

I agree.

He.

He.

Do you really agree?

Are you sure you don't want the hosting rights?

Chief.

They have a point.

My father

is still in bed,

and the younger members

are not doing well,

so I don't really have the heart

to do anything for the village now.

Let those who want to do it do it.

A lot has happened to the He family over the years.

It wasn't easy

for him to take it on.

His father is still in a coma,

so are we

taking advantage of the situation?

Mr. He.

Mr. He.

Actually,

what happened to your family can definitely pass.

I think your dad

was blessed.

It won't be long before he wakes up.

Don't worry.

We're all folks

and seeing each other every day.

If you need my help,

just let me know.

I'm sure I can help.

No need.

Just don't take advantage of the situation.

Do it right.

What the...

Are you looking down on me?

I'm not well educated,

but I know how to be moral.

Don't be so narrow-minded about my generosity.

Listen to me.

If you...

That's enough.

Need help, don't come to me.

Enough!

He's given up his hosting rights,

so stop complaining.

Chief.

He's so narrow-minded.

So selfish.

That's enough.

I don't like this kind of feisty person.

Go back...

So selfish.

When you get back,

go over this question again.

That's all for today.

Class dismissed.

Stand up.

See you,

ma'am.

He Jiahao.

What?

Is your dad okay?

My dad?

What happened to my dad?

I heard that your dad was so angry with you

and your cousin that he even gave us the right

to host the dragon boat race.

I didn't realize

you were so powerful.

Really?

He

Gave it away?

Voluntarily?

I don't know.

He even gave away the hosting rights he's always valued,

so it seems like

he's really pissed off this time.

Chen Junli.

Don't be alarmist.

What Uncle He said was

that he gave it away because he didn't have the heart

to work on it due to Jiahao's grandfather's poor health,

but why are you adding fuel to the fire here?

Good advice is harsh.

I always tell you to read more,

but you don't listen to me.

Would it kill you not to talk?

Yes.

Jiahao.

There's a new oyster store in front of the school.

You know what? It's really good.

Let's go together.

Afu.

Why do you eat all the time?

Why do you lecture people all the time?

Can you take the blame for him if he's overweight in the unified exam?

Like an old man.

Junli.

If you don't want to eat that, I'll take them there.

Come on. My treat.

Let's go.

I won't.

Let's go.

My treat.

Thank you.

Let's go.

[Xiqiao No.1 High School]

It's across the street from the supermarket.

There's a little store there.

You know what?

It's very good.

Jiashu!

Mr. He?

There you are.

Guys, we meet again.

Yes.

Mr. He.

Sorry.

Jiashu.

Afro.

If you bully He Jiahao again,

I won't let you go.

I won't.

How could I?

Ms. Qiu Qiu.

Jiashu.

By the way,

my grandpa is sick,

so I'm not going to leave for a while

and will continue to coach you.

Friday night, if you're free,

come to my house for dinner

and to talk

about the game.

All of you.

We'll discuss it together.

I'll be there early

to help you.

Remember. All of you.

But I...

We'll be there.

It's a deal.

Ask Long about the location.

He knows.

See you later, ma'am. Bye.

- Bye-bye. - Bye.

- Be safe. - Bye.

Bye, ma'am.

Hao, you're not in a hurry to get back to your homework today, are you?

- Maybe not. -Okay.

Let's go shopping.

I want strawberries.

Okay.

Uncle Liu.

Long time no see.

Jiahao.

This is...?

Uncle Liu.

This is my cousin, Jiashu.

Jiashu?

You've grown up.

How's your wife these days?

She's been fine for a few years.

Thanks for thinking of her.

Okay, Uncle Liu.

Give me some fresh fruit,

including strawberries

Come on.

These fruits are fresh.

Wait for me.

Uncle Liu.

Give me more strawberries.

No problem.

Thank you, Uncle Liu.

Mrs. Wang, long time no see.

You're younger.

You are...?

Isn't this Jiahao?

This is...?

Mrs. Wang, this is my cousin, Jiashu.

You've grown up.

It's been a long time.

What kind of food do you want to buy?

I'll give you a discount.

Give me some bean curd.

Mrs. Wang.

And some tomatoes.

Okay.

Auntie Zhang, Ms. Zhou.

This is my cousin, Jiashu.

See you next time.

- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.

Mr. Nie.

Long time no see.

Long time no see. Mr. Nie.

- See you later. - All right.

- See you later. - Bye.

Auntie Zhang.

Long time no see.

This is my cousin, Jiashu.

Jiashu, you've grown up.

See you later.

Bye.

Okay.

Jiashu.

Aren't you being a little high-profile?

What?

Nothing.

Let's go home.

No rush.

We'll go somewhere else.
