Don't sway.
What do you think?
We used to be
very close
because we were still young
and played together.
But later…
When I was still a student,
I indeed hoped
that they could
come back on holidays,
but neither of them came back.
Gradually,
I forgot it.
Now they
suddenly came back,
which made
uneasy and embarrassed.
I feel
they're strangers to me.
I don't feel the same as before.
When they left, you were sophomore in high school.
Think about it.
When we meet
our high school classmates now,
we may not be able to remember their names.
But they're different
from classmates.
So I
feel so bad now.
I feel so embarrassed.
But,
if we don't
get along well,
my dad and Mr. Ling
will be unhappy.
Tang Can gave me
an inspiration just now.
What is it?
What is it?
Let me tell you.
Every time when I go back to my hometown with my dad
to offer sacrifices to ancestors,
those relatives,
the more they're unfamiliar with me,
the warmer
and kinder they are to me.
I can
treat them as
distant relatives who
I haven't seen for years.
Yeah. Just like when I meet customers.
Life is like a play, and acting is most important.
I'll teach you later.
Treat them as distant relatives?
How?
It's easy.
Enthusiastic,
kind
and smile.
There're three important points.
Okay.
I've figured it out.
I'm going to sleep.
I'll call my two distant relatives
and ask them
to go back home for dinner tomorrow.
It'll make my dads
happy.
Sleep early,
or you'll be ugly.
You gave a bad idea!
You did.
Coming.
Oh, God.
Good morning.
You're so early.
Last Friday was Mr. Ling's birthday,
but he worked overtime,
so we forgot to celebrate it for him.
I called my dad
today and decided to
celebrate it tonight.
You're good at making cake.
Would you like to show your good skills?
Okay.
So, would you like to tell them
you're back
before tonight?
Yeah.
Okay.
Do you plan to
give my dad a surprise?
You don't need to.
Your going back
is the biggest surprise to them.
Is it?
Is it a surprise to you too?
Yes.
It's a big surprise to me.
I'm going to the studio.
See you later.
I'm going to pick you up tonight.
No need. See you tonight.
Be careful on the way.
Do you plan to
give my dad a surprise?
My dad?
What does it mean?
Time garden
Jianjian,
Zhou Miao asks for a day off
as she needs to attend an activity of the club.
You hired her.
You'll be in charge of it.
Look at the lines.
So smooth and stubborn.
It must be a great work.
We've stocked enough materials.
The warehouse is almost filled.
I warn you.
Before you finish all these,
you can't go to see the new materials.
We don't have money.
I'll work hard.
Li Jianjian, let's go into a relationship.
Try to close your mouth.
It's not good enough.
Doctor Ling,
a woman named Chen Ting
keeps calling you.
Is it anything urgent?
Leave her alone.
Use these two temporary teeth first.
When the ceramic teeth are done,
we'll contact you.
Okay. Thank you, doctor.
This way, please.
Stop crying.
I told you
not to have chocolate
after you brush your teeth at night,
but you just didn't listen.
Now you have so many decayed teeth.
You can't even bite tofu.
You must go to see a doctor.
Do you know?
No.
Little girl, if you don't see a doctor,
all your teeth will be decayed.
Don't be afraid.
The doctor will eliminate
all the little worms
in your teeth.
After that,
you can have as much chocolate as you like.
It's for you.
You should say thank you.
Thank you, sir.
Little girl,
let's go to
see the doctor, okay?
Little girl,
do you like
this doctor?
How about asking him
to treat you?
Okay. I'll do it.
Song has gone to see the patient off.
Please help me get prepared.
Okay, no problem.
I'd like a cup of iced Americano. Thanks.
Okay.
And a cup of hot Americano.
I'll pay them together.
Okay.
Hello, Doctor Ling.
My name is Feng Xixi.
You may call me Xixi.
Hello.
Thank you for helping me
persuade that kid.
I'm afraid of kids most.
You're welcome, Doctor Feng.
I can't tell that
you're good at dealing with kids.
Do you have any tips?
I have a sister.
That's why.
I'm the only child.
Do you have
any other strange toys?
Give me one, please.
I still have three ones.
I'll give it to my sister after going back home.
How old is your sister?
I just want one.
Sorry, but I also have a brother.
Is your brother also 25?
No, 27.
And I've blown the rest one.
So you just don't want to give me one.
Your coffee.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Soup Noodles with Beef Brisket.
Noodles with Satay Sauce.
May I help you?
I got this.
I can do the introduction.
This restaurant offers Soup Noodles with Pork Ribs,
Soup Noodles with Beef Brisket,
Noodles Mixed with Scallion Oil and Soy Sauce,
and Noodles with Mixed Sauce and Bean.
If you can't eat chili,
you can ask for no chili.
I don't understand what you said.
Can you speak Chinese?
Aren't you a foreigner?
I'm a native of Sichuan.
A native of Sichuan?
I saw you spent a long time on checking the menu.
I thought you…
I'm a Libra.
I have allodoxaphobia. Okay?
Okay. Okay.
Sorry. Sorry.
I'd like a bowl of Noodles with Three Fresh Ingredients.
Okay.
Wait.
I… I want Soup Noodles with Beef Brisket.
Soup Noodles with Beef Brisket. 25 yuan.
Chef, a portion of Soup Noodles with Beef Brisket.
Got it.
Thank you.
Did you study abroad?
Your English is so good.
What would you like to eat?
I'd like…
I guess you'd like
Noodles with Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs.
Is this you?
Boss said
Jianjian likes sweet food,
you like noodles,
and Ling Xiao likes meat,
so he created this kind of noodles.
All you three will like it.
It isn't on the menu.
No one expect you will order it.
Okay. I'd like that.
Ziqiu?
Dad.
You're back.
I'm back.
Well… So good.
It's been so long since you came back last time.
Shouldn't you kowtow to your dad?
♫Good night♫
♫Goodbye♫
Stand up. Stand up.
♫My children♫
Stop joking.
Look at him. He takes it seriously.
♫maybe when you leave here♫
Did you get hurt?
No.
♫your way home will get longer and longer♫
It's good you're back.
♫Walk slowly♫
It's good you're back.
Dad.
♫and don't look back♫
So good.
♫I'll be here♫
♫looking forward♫
♫with your shadow♫
Do you get any inspiration?
How about
I take you to a KTV
to sing to relax tonight?
No.
Some relatives visit my home tonight.
I need to go home.
All right.
Juan,
should I
go into a relationship?
You should.
You think so?
Well, you're already 25.
You deal with woods every day.
You have never been in a relationship.
This is not artist style.
It seems right.
It seems?
It is.
You've run out of
inspiration
and creativity recently.
Love can sometimes
bring you
new excitement.
Those male artists
created works
with girlfriend
as the theme.
It sounds reasonable.
But,
when did any man
I don't know appear beside you?
He's a net friend.
Cyber love?
That's not artist style.
It's not cyber love.
We're just net friends.
You know him.
It's Ran whom I've known for years.
He?
This is artist style, right?
This is exactly artist style.
Did you meet each other?
No.
Last time, we agreed to
meet in the exhibition hall.
Later, I made a foolish figure
and went to the police station.
So I didn't meet him.
Good.
But I don't think he's a good choice.
Why?
From his works,
I feel his almost mythical
sense of worship
for females.
This kind of sense of worship is beautiful,
but particularly vulnerable.
Based on my years of
love experience,
people like him
may be
very ugly.
I think you should
see his photo first.
It must be taken
by front-facing camera
without beautification.
Go on with the work.
Change your shoes.
Why are you standing in a daze? Come on in.
Give it to me.
Come in.
Ziqiu.
Dad.
Where's your coffee shop?
It's on the street
nearby our high school.
It was also a coffee shop.
But later, the owner gave it up
and transferred it to me.
I redecorated it.
It'll be open in two days.
Well, dad,
you may go with Mr. Ling
to have a look.
In fact, I wanted to
give you a surprise.
Your coming back is a surprise.
Well,
you should've told me about it.
If you told me,
I could help you select materials for decoration.
I didn't tell you
because I didn't want you to be busy.
If knew it, you'd do a lot of things.
I was afraid you'd be tried.
Even so, I'd be happy.
I just don't want you to be tired.
Ziqiu,
what did your dad say
about your coming back?
Why mention him?
He has nothing to do with me.
Besides, you're my dad.
Well, even so,
he paid your tuition
and living expenses
these years.
Though you don't like him,
you shouldn't hurt his feelings.
Dad, I know.
Can we not talk about him at home?
Okay, okay. Let's stop talking about him.
Certificate Certificate of Honor
This fridge is still being used.
It has been so many years.
It still works, so we've been using it.
Freezing preservation
is popular now.
I'll buy a new one for you.
Don't do that.
It's quite good.
Don't be prodigal right after you come back.
It makes no noises without frost.
It still can be used.
Dad,
does someone
live in my room?
Jianjian called
this morning.
She was so mysterious,
saying that someone would come today.
I guessed it was you.
How could you guess it?
You must be missing your sons again.
One came back yesterday.
When will the other one come back?
He's in the UK.
It takes him over ten hours
to come back by plane.
How can he come back at will?
Which one is more handsome?
This one.
This one.
He looks a bit familiar.
I seem to have met him before.
Oh, I remember.
This is your son, right?
Can you enlarge it?
It's…it's Ziqiu!
I've seen him several times.
Why didn't he go home?
Back then,
when I took you here
from the village,
you were so active doing housework
after you came to this home,
because you were afraid I'd send you back.
You boy
just think too much.
You love to
take the burdens.
I said
I'd come back after graduation,
but I didn't come back.
I got a rich dad
and I had been away for several years.
I think anyone who meets with such a thing
will be disappointed.
We often talked on the phone.
Have I ever blamed you?
How could you think like that?
I know you never blame me.
But I think
I'm ungrateful to you.
Ungrateful?
All parents
want their kids to be good.
As long as the kids grow into good persons,
the parents will be happy.
If you grew into bad persons
and became a disaster to the society,
you'd be ungrateful to me.
I'm not well-educated.
I can only
be a chef in this life.
I just hope
my kids can receive good education
and can fly higher in the future.
To say the least,
it doesn't matter if you can't fly high.
I'll be satisfied
if you can live a happy life.
And,
I'm still young
and running a noodle restaurant.
I'm living a happy life.
You don't need to worry about me.
Well,
don't cry.
I don't cry.
I just don't feel good.
Yeah. You don't cry.
It's windy.
Dad, well…
All other parents
hope their children
will have a bright future,
but you hope
your son will only live a happy life.
It's such a simple wish.
It's not simple.
No one can be happy
for a lifetime.
Dad, I love to chat with you.
When chatting with you,
I'll forget the time.
Okay. Then let's often chat.
Why do you rub your fingers
while chatting?
The nails are all worn.
If you want to use your hands,
you may help me trim vegetables.
You loved to
be my assistant before.
So good.
You're back,
and so is Ling Xiao.
The family is reunited again.
So good.
When will you move back?
I'm not moving back.
I rent a house
opposite the apartment where Li Jianjian lives.
Ling Xiao and I have decided to
to live together.
Just like before,
we'll look after Li Jianjian.
But it's near here,
so we can often come back.
Okay.
It's good.
Dad, anyway,
I'm not leaving this time.
I'll just stay with you.
Don't stay with us every day.
It's annoying to see each often.
Dad, don't think I'm annoying.
Jianjian.
Mrs. Qian?
You're back.
Are you going to dance again?
Yes. They asked me to be the lead dancer.
They said it can't be organized if I don't go.
Jianjian,
I heard
your brothers are back.
Your dad
will live a happy life.
As they all said,
in this yard,
your dad is the luckiest.
I'll treat your whole family
to dinner later.
Okay. See you, Mrs. Qian.
See you.
♫Soulful dreams♫
♫fade to gold♫
Come up, I'll carry you back.
I'm strong.
♫No telling where they go♫
But Xiao said he went to bring us rain shoes
and asked us to stand right here.
♫While you slumber♫
He hasn't come back after so long.
♫Slowly flow♫
He must have gone home
to eat fish ba*ls secretly.
Come on. Go on my back.
♫I still care♫
♫It's not fair♫
♫We ain't never♫
♫Come back in time♫
♫Wish days would never hide♫
Oh, no.
♫If rain starts to fall down♫
♫So wear it♫
It's your fault.
I asked you to wait for Xiao.
♫and carry on♫
It's all your fault.
I asked you to wait for Xiao.
♫There has always been that rainbow♫
Didn't I ask you to wait for me
to bring you rain shoes?
Go.
♫Flying with the love you gave me,♫
It's his fault. He's to blame.
♫I see myself with big wings♫
Mr. Ling, I've prepared a gift for you.
Thank you, son.
Well, you're so considerate.
Dad, this is yours.
Do I also have one?
It's my birthday.
Why did you buy him a gift?
It's the same.
Don't be so mean. It's the kid's care.
Check it.
It's good.
Not bad, uh?
Little bird.
Swallow.
Isn't swallow a bird?
Fine, it's a bird. I don't want to argue with you.
I think I'm too old for it.
No, no. It fits you well.
Really?
I'll try them on. I'll try them on.
Li Jianjian,
this is a bag for you.
Thank you, Zi…
What's wrong? Open it.
This…this is too expensive!
It's not expensive.
Don't worry.
When I make more money in the future,
I'll buy you anything you like.
Take it.
It's such a small bag.
How expensive can it be?
Yeah. Don't take your brother as an outsider.
Take it.
Okay. Thank you, Ziqiu.
Don't buy me any more bags in the future.
It's okay.
Well.
You didn't tell me you came back,
so I didn't buy you a gift.
It doesn't matter. I didn't buy you a gift either.
Okay.
Son, you can wear this pair of shoes.
It's so good.
Dad, my feet are too big to wear them.
The hot pot is boiling.
Dads, brothers, let's enjoy dinner!
Come on. Have dinner.
Have dinner first.
Have dinner. Have dinner.
Have dinner. Have dinner.
Take it off.
Take them off. Put them here first.
Let's enjoy dinner!
Well, dad went to the market
early in the morning
to buy the crabs.
It must have much cream.
It's Mr. Ling's birthday.
I planned to
make several dishes,
but he
insisted on having hot pot.
We had hot pot
at my every birthday.
It's hot and bustling.
I treated Jianjian's teeth yesterday.
Her inflammation hasn't gone away yet.
She can't have spicy food.
Did you treat her teeth?
Ling Xiao majored in dentistry.
Jianjian uttered dreary cries and screams
whenever she went to
a dental clinic in her childhood.
Her dreary cries and screams
could be heard very far away.
Ling Xiao studied it for her.
Now he's back.
When we have teeth problem in the future,
we can turn to Ling Xiao.
He's just our doctor.
Well, Xiao.
I'll often trouble you later.
I'll replace alcohol with coconut juice.
I'll drink a toast to you.
Oh, Mr. Ling.
Well…
I made you a birthday cake.
I made it this morning. I'm going to get it.
You made it?
He told you
on the phone
he learns to make dessert now.
He wants to be a dessert chef.
In this case, Jianjian
can't leave Ziqiu more in the future.
Mr. Ling, happy birthday.
Thank you, son.
He made it. Look.
Thank you, son.
I'll also trouble you in the future.
Where's the candle? Dad needs to make a wish.
Insert the candle and make a wish.
Yeah.
I'm going to get the candle.
It's okay. I'll go.
Wait. why do you have a scar here?
It's fine. Sit down. I'm going to get the candle.
It's fine?
It's such a big scar. How was it left?
What scar?
What scar?
Let me see. What scar?
It's on the shoulder. Look.
Let me see. Let me see.
Let me see.
My God!
It's such a big scar!
How did you get it?
It's okay.
I just got scalded by accident.
Got scalded?
How come?
When?
Why didn't you tell us
about this matter?
I was far away from you.
Even if I told you,
it'd only make you worried.
When dad went out on mission,
he fell from the stairs by accident.
His leg was broken and suffered cerebral concussion.
Hadn't I found
the time was not right
and asked you,
you wouldn't tell me either.
Wait.
When did Mr. Ling
have a broken leg and cerebral concussion?
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't know it at all.
It's no use telling you.
You couldn't come back to look after him.
I…
Come on, enjoy the hot pot.
Look, the soup has been boiling.
Yeah.
Enjoy the hot pot. Enjoy the hot pot.
Come on.
Enjoy the hot pot.
Come on.
Yeah.
Enjoy the hot pot. Enjoy the hot pot.
Come on.
Here you are. Have a ball.
Mr. Ling,
your daughter
prepared such a big meal for you today.
Are you happy?
Of course.
Did you buy the meat
or did you trim the vegetables?
Why did you say
you prepared the meal?
Be gentle. My ear's gonna drop.
If I had only one ear, who would marry me?
You have two ears, but does anyone want to marry you?
Am I your natural daughter?
You're my natural daughter. Mine.
Come on. Enjoy it.
Ling Xiao, enjoy the ba*ls.
I made them for you guys.
Okay.
Here you are. Have meat.
Thank you, Mr. Ling.
It's a gift for you.
I'll give you one in return.
Thank you, Mr. Ling.
♫Bearing the burden♫
♫and suffering the loss♫
♫but we still look forward to the future♫
♫Maybe you are trying hard♫
♫to forget that♫
♫just as I am♫
♫Try hard to grow up♫
I'll get off work
two hours ahead of time tomorrow.
I'll move there.
It doesn't matter.
Just stop here. Go up.
I'll go to hail a taxi with you.
No need. I'll send you back.
Did you buy a car?
It's not expensive.
I parked it
at the door of the noodle restaurant.
Go.
Nice electric bicycle.
Lovely.
It's a second-hand one
I found on the Internet.
Though it looks old,
it's pretty good.
Look here.
Its carrying capacity
can just support our weight.
I'll ride slowly.
Come on.
Get on.
It's okay. It doesn't matter.
I can fix it. It doesn't matter.
I'll take you to hail a taxi.
No need. I'll go by myself.
Who's that?
My boyfriend.
I'm going to hail a taxi ahead.
Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
Hello?
Does Li Jianjian have a boyfriend?
My God!
Li Jianjian, wait for me.
I'm going.
Great.
I'm hailing a taxi now.
Sir, go.
It's good.
Isn't this feeling
what you want?
I'm here just to
talk about my brothers.
They're back.
Yeah.
They went to
study in other cities,
but now they
live right opposite me.
It's so troublesome.

Li Jianjian
Hello, the subscriber dialed
is busy now.
Please redial later.
How do I feel about them?
I don't know if
I'm too sensitive.
I think
they look at me in the way
they did in childhood,
when we
just met each other.
I think
it's a feeling of loneliness.
Wait.
Ling Xiao, how's your visit
to your dad?
You didn't answer my call.
Was it inconvenient
as you were
with your classmates?
Don't worry about me
or your
naughty sister.
I told her not to
call you to bother you
so that you can have a good time.
But, don't play for too long.
After your annual leave for two years,
go back to the hospital to work.
Don't make your leaders unhappy.
It'll your future work.
Am I right?
By the way,
when I passed by a bookstore yesterday,
I bought several new recipes.
I have lots of time at home.
I will learn to make more dishes.
The only thing I can do now
is to take care of
you and your sister.
And,
you like the dishes
Li Haichao makes.
You ask him
for the tips.
I'll learn later.
If you like
any specialty,
tell me on WeChat
at any time anywhere.
I'll keep it down.
Just tell me the dish name.
I'll search it on the Internet
and send you the picture
to confirm it.
Well, girl,
your noodles.
Thanks.
So,
you won't come back to live at night?
Enjoy the noodles, Mr. Ling.
Okay.
Remember
to call me often.
Okay.
Noodles Served with Beef Tallow.
Thank you, dad.
Eat more meat. You're thinner again.
Zhu,
two bowls of seafood noodles.
Okay, Mrs. Qian.
Please have a seat.
Okay.
Is there any available seat?
Mrs. Qian, Mrs. He, sit here.
Heping is also here.
Heping,
I heard your son is back.
Yeah.
He's sitting right here.
Hello, Mrs. He, Mrs. Qian.
Little Ling Xiao
has grown up.
I can't recognize you if I meet you on the street.
He's getting
more and more handsome.
Handsome?
I think he's ordinary.
Ordinary?
Ling Xiao is a doctor.
It's a good job occupation.
Girls must be
crazy about him.
Yeah.
Ling Xiao, do you have a girlfriend?
Not yet.
Ling Xiao, will you leave again?
No.
I've got a job here.
Well.
How's your mom lately?
Has she fully recovered?
Not really.
After all, she was so paralyzed before.
But she's strong-willed.
After these years of rehabilitation therapy
and training, she has got better.
She can only use one leg now.
She can't walk easily,
and it hurts when she walks a lot.
But she can
do basic things in life
such buying and cooking.
You really had a hard time.
Yeah. It was hard for him.
But it's good you're back.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
Haichao is so lucky.
His sons are filial to him.
Both his two sons have come back.
And Heping is luckier.
It's easy for you
to raise kids.
Yeah.
It's attributed to Haichao.
He's careful and better at teaching kids.
Of course.
Here come the noodles.
Okay.
Thanks.
Haichao,
where's Ziqiu?
He doesn't live at home.
He lives opposite Jianjian.
Ling Xiao is
about to move there.
When the kids are back,
they just want to be close to each other.
In my opinion,
you may pick one of your sons
as Jianjian's husband.
Keep the goodie
within the family.
Ling Xiao, what do you say?
Well, I'll work hard.
Work hard. Work hard.
Work hard. Work hard.
