It took me all these years to get here.
Don't anyone try to stop me.
Come on ,
Mom.
Mom and Dad.
Hey,
traffic jam, huh?
Yeah,
they're digging up the road near us again.
I just mentioned it yesterday, and today
they're already at it
Haven't even washed my hands yet.
Dad,
let's eat.
Eat
up . Wifey , dinner's ready.
Didn't
I tell you I was making fish soup? But
this fish looked so plump, I braised it
instead.
You know, I finally caught this big
fishbig fish
just for soup
to nourish our daughter,
and you braised it ?
I asked Mom to braise it.
Braised
is
tasty . Exactly . This fish tastes great
any way you cook it,
and Mom's a great cook.
Look
how much weight we've both gained lately
. You two should move over here these next
couple days .
The room's all tidied up.
I'm retired now.
I can help look after the kids.
Hmm.
Pass the vinegar.
Then this weekend ...
Alright, Dad .
Xiao Xu ,
hey ...
Why don't you move over in a couple days?
I have to be out of town for two days this
month
I'll definitely be back before Nuo's due
date
Going out ?
Mom, where are you going?
I'm heading to Chengdu
for a class reunion.
How can you go out having fun?
Your daughter's carrying twins!
You need to prioritize things!
It's urgent! Is it a girl ? Our classmates
meet often.
I've never been.
This year's the 35th anniversary.
Everyone said I have to go.
Mom, this is serious!
The baby needs nutrition now.
It can't be left alone.
Mom,
you and your high school friends? You're
still that close?
We were so tight growing up.
I just want to see them. I've been wanting
this for years
What kind of bond do you have with high
school friends you haven't seen in
decades?
What's the point of meeting?
Can they fix your social security
? Get you a job
? Why should you meddle in my affairs?
Because I'm more reasonable than you.
Tell me, aren't you unreasonable?
Aren't you unreasonable
? -Dad -Am I unreasonable?
Don't talk to me like that , Mom.
All these years, when have I ever gone
out?
I just want to see an old classmate.
Go ahead, Mom.
Just come back early.
Fine , I'll go.
Xiao Xu is busy
. Mom, I'll accompany you to your prenatal
checkup next week
. Hurry up, hurry up! People are waiting
downstairs.
Come on, come on
! Quickly, quickly!
I'm closing up.
Try some fresh dragon fruit. No need to
buy, just taste it.
Try the dragon
fruit. Try the dragon fruit.
I'm exhausted .
My legs are k*lling me
Don't you care about me?
Let me massage them.
We've been standing all these years and
still haven't gotten used to it?
What are you looking at? Picking things
for your grandkids?
Li Hong
, once you have two grandkids, will you
quit and
go home to enjoy your retirement?
I won't be enjoying that retirement. I
told my son
if he has kids, I won't babysit.
I'll be off dancing.
Ballroom dancing with my husband
. It's infuriating.
Everyone knows your husband dotes on you.
I like it .
I don't like it.
It's too flashy.
You have to look flashy when meeting old
classmates.
It's too expensive.
So what if I like it?
Try it on.
Hey,
try on the medium in red.
Hey
, I said I'd buy it for you
. Not bad.
All the fetal development indicators are
healthy.
But you're carrying twins, so
the physical burden is greater
So we recommend
preparing for a C-section in advance.
Are you saying premature birth
? Will it affect the babies?
There's some risk
. We suggest arranging hospitalization
early
Rest well when you get home and
monitor your blood pressure.
Mom, it's hot .
I forgot my water bottle.
Mom
I left the cup.
Mom,
you're not going anywhere.
After the birth,
Xiao Xu and I will definitely take you to
Chengdu
for a fun trip.
Yeah ,
let's talk about that later.
Mom,
myprecious daughter.
Slow down, slow down.
- Quick, come in, come in!
-Mom and Dad! Mom,
slow downit's slippery
! Slowly, slowly, slowly.
Mom, let me help
! Come on, come on.
When I get back to Chengdu
, I'm going to work as a saleswoman in the
fanciest department store.
Shuying, you're definitely coming back to
Chengdu too,
right ? I'm going to college.
I want to be a
writer someday. Writer? Yeah, right!
I just want to be a nurse.
I'll be dressed neatly every day,
smelling all nice with that Laiso
Li Hong,
with grades like yours,
you're definitely going to college, right?
Of course !
I'm going to college.
I'll go far, far away
There are so many places I want to see.
Someday I'll drive a big truck and take
you all on a grand tour.
Soaring through the clouds!
That's the spirit!
The ocean, the ocean!
Slow down!
Here ,
slow down!
Look at
you two! Slow down, slow down!
Come on, come on!
Slow down, slow down!
Mom
Let me help you
. What else needs packing?
I need to study after this.
Hong,
your dad said
you don't need to take the exam.
He wants you to come back home with us.
Dad , didn't we agree?
You guys go ahead.
I'll wait until after the college entrance
exam
. Your mom and I have already discussed
it.
We're not just going back to Henan,
we still need to build a house . We'll
have to borrow some money,
right?
You should go back and apply for a job.
There are plenty of good jobs available
now
. Once you get hired, you'll start earning
money right away.earning wages right away
! I don't want to! I'm going to college!
Dad
, didn't we agree?
Right?
Dad, I promise I'll be good
. Once I get into college,
I'll find a better job.
Then I'll give you all my wages
. Right? Right? Right
? Hong, you're the eldest daughter.
Shouldn't you look out for the family too?
How can you be so unreasonable?
I'm not leaving
! I'll live on campus!
Stop right there!
All of you, go inside
! Hong
, there are five of us in this family .
earning wages
Can't you share the burden?
Stop thinking only of yourself.
I'm not your daughter anymore
I'm going to college
What are you studying?
I've already arranged for you to drop out.
Long time no see,
Hong.
-Long time no see. - Tongtong,
you've gained weight.
Shuying
, Shuying,
I've dreamed about you so many times.
Sweetie,
you've been working so hard.
Let me see my grandson.
Li Hong, I miss you. Li Hong.
Just a simple lunch
tomato and egg noodles
. Why did you make him cry?
Come see
look at his red bottom.
Look at
it . It's fine, just put some ointment on
it.
I asked around
you need diapers. What you're using now...
over time,
it'll soak through the crotch.
Let whoever wants to use it .
Who's gonna wash them?
Raising kids is too much trouble for
you ? If it's not trouble for you, you
take care of it.
Xiao Xuewasn't I the one taking care of
her?
Was it easy for me, dealing with all that
poop and pee?
Besides making demands, what have you ever
done?
I'm doing this for the kid's sake.
How dare you talk back to me?
This is outrageous! You're just lazy!
Where's my phone
? Where's my phone?
I need to talk to our daughter about this.
This is... unacceptable
. Give it to me ! Where did you put it?
Give it to me!
Xiao Xue just started her new jobdon't
bother her
! Just give me my phone!
Give it to me
! Fine, fine, fine!
Use diapers then! I'll wash them myself!
That's better.
The older you get,should be wiser.
Diapers
? Why eggs and tomatoes again?
Can't
we have eggplant noodles or chili pepper
pork noodles?
Get some vinegar.
Greens, baby. This is greens.
These two chubby boys are so adorable!
Two chubby boys
you're so blessed.
They
hit the jackpot , didn't
they? Absolutely .
How's the vegetable business lately?
Didn't sell a thing all morning
. Quitting was the right call.
at this stop
.
My back and legs ache after a day . I'd
actually love to come back to work
. Mom,
why did you buy so much?
I'm traveling tomorrow
I bought extra so you
wouldn't have to run out.
No more, no more
. Come
on, burp him
. Big Boy will eat soon.
And the other one
. Hurry, hurry, hurry.
Dad,
got it, got it.
Big Boy, Little Boy.
You' re at Grandma and Grandpa's now. Be
good, no fighting, you two.
Get in the car.Get in the car! Get in the
car!
Sweetie
, those socks are in the plastic bag
The sky won't fall without you
. How many diapers did you take out?
Why are you using diapers?
Didn't we say to use cloth diapers?
You want your in-laws to wash them?
- They'll drown the baby's crotch. Mom,
this phone has our company's new software
. You should take it.
Keep it for yourself. It's
a client gift.
Might as well use it.
Mom, your phone screen is cracked.
Dad,
put it away.
Alright, Mom and Dad are leaving.
Fasten your seatbelts! Fasten your
seatbelts!
Boil some water, brew some tea.
Take a break first.
We finally get a few days off.
Taking care of kids is exhausting.
Like I don't know you.
You're just lazy
. How am I lazy?
I'm busy from dawn till dusk.
How am I lazy?
You know exactly what you're after.
What am I after?
What do I get from taking care of our
daughter?
You know perfectly well.
I don't know.
What do I get? What do I get from taking
care of our daughter?
Hurry up and boil some water, brew some
tea.
You need to explain this clearly to me.
What do I get?
You just mind your own business.Get
out of my way.
I said,
explain clearly
. Why am I...
What do I gain? You know exactly what
you're after.
What do I know? I don't know.
- Explain it to me clearly. - Don't block
my view of the TV
. What exactly am I after?
What am I after ?
You know exactly
. If you don't know, you better explain it
to me clearly.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Are you
sick? Get yourself treated
Can't you live a decent life?
Sun Dayong,
explain to me clearly what exactly am I
after?
Put the knife down.
You have to explain to me clearly what
exactly am I after.
What are you doing?
- Put the knife down. - Me?
Explain to me what I'm after?
Put the knife down.
Explain it to me.
You know what I'm after
. I don't know. You explain it to me.
Explain it clearly.
- You know what I'm after. - Explain it to
me
. Explain it to me.
What the hell am I after?
Explain it to me.
Say it .
What are you doing?
Explain it to me.
What am I after? I...
Old Qin from the market
gave it to me. I fixed his tricycle.
Pick it up while it's fresh and cook
it. I don't know how.
What's wrong with it?
Get your mom to do it.
Cool, sweet soda.
Fifteen cents a bottle.
How much per bottle ?
Fifteen cents.
Take two bottles
. Bring two bottles.
Here you go.
I work
in Zhengzhou. It's far from here.
You don't mind, right?
Far is better
. I just want to be far from home.
You should try it too.
It's really good.
No wonder it's fifteen cents a bottle.
This guy looks decent.
Your dad doesn't approve, does he? He has
his reasons.
He is a bit stingy.
First time he came over, he brought four
pastries.
We're a family of five.
He's from the countryside
. Lots of brothers and sisters
A family like yours, don't even mention
it.
You'd be helping us out. You'd suffer with
him your whole life.
What are you thinking ?
If I say it won't work, it won't.
I went back to my hometown over the
weekend and
showed my mom your photo.
What did she say?
She just told me to bring you some local
specialties
The apples from our hometown are so sweet.
It's snowing.
Is it snowing where you are?
Zhengzhou is having strong winds
. Snow is really beautiful.
Snowy days are so cold.
You should go home early.come home early
I'll find time to visit you this weekend.
Sun Dayong,
how about this
when you get back, let's get married.
Is that okay? Do your parents agree?
Once we're married,
I can move into the factory dorms
and make my own decisions.
after we get married, my workplace will
assign us a room too.
We'll live happily together.
Hong
, slow down.
Mom bought you a pair of shoes.
You stubborn child.
The New Year's almost here, and
you insist on moving into the dormitory.
Now that you're someone's wife, just live
well.
Don't be so stubborn.
Be good.
Mom,
it's fine .
The doctor said it's just a flesh wound.
Dad, tell me why?
Why
I didn't say much
, just a little back-and-forth .
It scared me half to death.
It wasn't worth this.
Ever since I can remember,
you've never said a kind word to Mom.
All these years , couldn't you change?
Go apologize to Mom
. Apologize?
How dare you talk to your father like
that?
It's all because your mother spoils you.
How rude!
The surgeon just came for rounds.
The physical injuries aren't serious.
Right now, the patient mainly has
psychological issues.Ah.
Her current diagnosis is moderate
depression,
moderate anxiety,
and pronounced somatization symptoms
People with depression
suffer in ways others don't see
. They might perceive the world as black
and white
, lose touch with its beauty,
or even harm themselves.
Can it be cured?
She must stick with proper treatment. Make
sure
she takes her meds on time and gets
exercise.
As family,
you need to be emotionally supportive.
How serious is it? Prescribing so many
meds
? Mom's already sick
don't upset her. Come on,
it's not my fault .
She's the one with the brain disorder.
How did she suddenly get depressed
? I'm depressed too,
Dad
. Mom?
She was just here...
Mom
!
Mom! Excuse me,
ma'am ? I was wondering
is there a self-drive campground nearby?
I saw a gas station up ahead.
Old Chen
Drive a bit further,
the GPS says it's nearby.
Let's go.
What's a
self-drive tour ? It's traveling by car.
We've been
on the road for three months now.
How do you sleep?
There's a tent on the roof and beds in the
RV.
No problem.
Where are you headed?
We've covered the north, heading south
now.
That's right.
Sweetie,
one day I'll take you and Bao Yun
to travel the four seas.
anywhere you want
, whenever you want.
Just remember to answer your phone.
Yeah
. Sun
Dayong. Sun Dayong.
Red
. Back.
Back
. Doing laundry.
Back.
Good, good, good.
Got the kids back
. Hey
.
Six little rabbits, right?
Good boy. Daddy buys you little rabbits
every day
. Little Red.
Look at the new cabinet I got for you
. Cost me eighty bucks
. You
How's that job I'm looking for you ? Why
the rush?
What are you afraid of with me
? Over there ,
the whole factory went under.
Not just me even my dad, a skilled
worker, got laid off
. Your little county town can't compare to
our big city.
You really think you're city folk now ?
Listen,
I talked to the boss.
Might be able to get you an office job
. How nice to sit in an office
all day. I wouldn't dare
What's there to be afraid of ?
Is it pretty?
What
is this? This vase?
I stopped by the department store before
coming.
It's even imported goods.
I read in novels that
foreign women buy fresh flowers every day.
Even laid off, they still waste money.
Is that right , Xiaoxue ?
How many more Dabaitu candies did
you buy? What are you doing?
Director,
your lunch break is over. Let me help you
with the work.
No, no, no, no, don't water it!
This is an orchid.
These are precious
flowers.
You can't water them!
Give them to me. Let me do it
. Sorry, sorry, Director
. Sorry.
Has my husband's job been sorted out
? Everything must follow policy now.
Even the lowest position at our Water
Resources Bureau requires your TV college
degree, you know?
I know
. Sun Dayong
. Hey, hey.
Take your things .
Could you be gentler?
Look how gentle those women are on TV
. Learn from them . Learn from them.
But you're not
as dashing as the guy in the show either .
So
what
did your boss say? He said to wait
a bit longer. Wait?
Is it even going to work?
What's the rush
? I can't pressure the boss
. I'm busy right now.
Where's my shampoo?
I'll get it for you when it arrives.
Find it for me.
Just got off work?
Brother Sun
. This is my sister-in-law.
First time meeting her
. Call herAuntie,
your daughter...
Auntie,
hello!
So adorable !
Sister-in-law just moved to Zhengzhou.
Where'd she work?
Homemaker,
taking care of the kids at home
. See you later!
Shampoo ...
Sister-in-law, come visit my place
sometime when you're free.
I live upstairs in 302.
Okay .
My name's Ma Jie
. Mine's Li Hong.
Gotta go.
Your plastic flowers are really pretty.
Monday was three yuan sixty.
Tuesday was fiveI bought meat for 3.6
yuan.
Oh, and soap and face oil too.
Total was over six yuan.
Six-something yuan?
Let's break it down item by item.
First, how much did the groceries cost?
Leeks, eggs, cabbage, tofu.
Didn't buy meat.
Spent that much?
Not done yet.
What about the 1.2 yuan? What did you buy
with that?
Hurry up .
Why don't
you get a perm too? My face is too round .
It wouldn't look good.How's
that job you were looking into for me ?
None of the times work.
Only that sanitation bureau
has night street sweeping.
You can't take that.
What am I being picky about?
Street sweeping is fine
. I'll take any job.
Why do
you insist on working? Hurry up and get me
in touch.
Okay, great .
Which one of you is learning to drive?
I signed up.
What's wrong? Didn't pass?
Never mind.
Fill out the form like that.
Don't jerk the wheel. Don't jerk the
wheel.
Look where the rear end went!
Keep the wheel steadydon't jerk it back
and forth
! Look at
it now . Let me try again . See
how the car body's tilted?
Shouldn't you turn right now?
Right
! See? That's it.
Kids learn so fast these days.
I taught a girl today
she got the hang of it in no time.
But don't get me started on
the old lady I'm teaching...
It's been three weeks now , and she
still stalls the engine constantly.
Getting older just makes it harder.
Why is she learning to drive at her age?
Couldn't she just use an electric tricycle
to pick up her grandkids from school
? Yeah ,
this is just wasting time.
Instructor,
want some chili sauce? I made it myself.
No, no, no.
Try some!
I
've lived in Zhengzhou for thirty years,
never left .
The farthest
I've gone is the suburbs .I'm fifty-five
now
and finally made up my mind
I'm learning to drive no matter what.
I just want to get out
and see if life has other possibilities.
I'll study hard,
Coach .
Could you please not get annoyed with
me ?
Just teach me , okay? Okay?
You're spending recklessly now that you've
got money. It's my own cashmind your own
business
. We need to plan our household budget
going forward.
Divide responsibilities
? Fine.
I'll handle meals and lodging, I'll buy
groceries
What about other expenses? We'll split
them evenly.
Fair enough,
right? No problem .
I bought a pressure cooker
thirty-eight yuan.
Give me a yuan
.
Here , Uncle,
have a drink. Enough, enough.
Sis, don't bother cooking anymore.
It's fine, it's fine. You guys came all
this way.
Just make a couple more dishes.
Eat and drink up!
My sister-in-law is such a good person
. You should toast your brother.
If it weren't for him,
you wouldn't have found a wife.
Uncle
, come on, bro.
Thanks to you for the house.
Listen to Uncle.
I'll drink
to that.
Otherwise, I'd raise another glass.
Uncle
it wasn't easy for Dayong to get where he
is now.
He's the only one in the whole village who
got a permanent position.
He's at the Water Conservancy Bureau now.
Not only does he get government rations,
but he's even moved to the provincial
capital.
If it weren't for looking after his
younger brother and sister...
Uncle
, come on, come on,
have some, have some . Eat more, eat more.
Niece-in-law,have a drink
. I don't drink.
You guys drink, you guys drink
. Pour
me one
. I really can't drink.
No, no, no, I can't do it
. Come on, come on, that's enough.
To Uncle
, take a sip!
Uncle, come often!
Uncle , drink less . Uncle
, I'll go make some soup for you guys.
Just take a sip.
I really can't drink
. I don't drink.
If she can't drink, she can't drink.
To Uncle, drink up
! If my sister-in-law can't drink, she
can't drink.
YouStop arguing.
Drink up
.
Bottoms up. Cheers .
Uncle , no one in the Sun family can
refuse a drink. Come on, Uncle
. No family is
complete without its members. She's our
family
now. Just don't look down on us country
folk later
. Never would.
Uncle,
they say city women
are so haughty
. My sister-in-law has no airs
about her . She's truly
My sister-in-law is such a good person .
Da Yong, you're truly blessed.
She's wonderful .
What wife doesn't listen to her husband?
Eat and drink more.
I'll make some soup.
Uncle, pluck here, here, and here .
Uncle, come on, Uncle Jing.
Don't you have any sense?
There's so much food left
You didn't pay for this, did you
? Didn't you tell me to treat your
relatives well?
I made all this to save your face, didn'
t I? You can't possibly eat for ten
people!
I worked my fingers to the bone serving
you lot
am I supposed to feel guilty?
I lugged all these dishes back myself,
my back's k*lling me .
You ask for a toast
yet you put on airs
, hauling out that ashtray
to show off your city manners.
What's so great about being from the city
anyway?
When did I ever say I was from the city?
When did I ever...
ever think being city folk is so great ?
You 're the one who thinks city folk are
so great, aren't you? Look at you, look at
you.
I say one thing, you argue back.
One word, one retort.
Can't a woman just listen properly?
Why are you so stubborn with me?
You nitpick all day long
You could find bones in eggs
. What kind of man are you?
Your words make no sense
. Why should I listen to you? Why should I
listen to you
? You giveRight? Right?
Give it to me,
give it to me. 795 00:46:59,583 --

friends
, I've got homemade chili sauce here.
Handmade ,
no additives.
Ten yuan a jar, delivered to your door.
Come try
some! Hey,
the steamed buns are still cooking in the
pot
. Slow down, Mom!
Oh no,
Grandma's gone again!
Dad,
Grandma's gone again!
The doctor said
Mom's still on meds.
As long as shehappy every day,
nothing else matters .
I didn't say it to her face
. She's at that age, still pulling stunts
like this.
Eat it yourself.
Precisely because she's at that age ,
we should support whatever she wants to do
. Right?
Right . Proper support
. But support isn't just lip service.
Grandpa, check if your stinky feet smell.
I can't be the only one taking time off
all the time.
I have special circumstances today.
I have an important client meeting.
Dad
, I signed up fortable tennis tournament?
We should just hire a part-timer.
Dad's off to work.
Bye, Dad .
Why spend so much?
If your mom's illness keeps dragging on,
I might as well go back to the village and
find a relative
to live with. Our place is too small for
that.
Auntie,
if you go with a five-year installment
plan,
a 33% down payment of 33,000
then just over a thousand a month after
that.
Easy peasy.
Now look at
the interior
premium black .
If you don't like this color, we can
change it. This car's performance on
mountain roads,
outdoor trips... Got
it. This car is perfect.
Imagine sitting in the passenger seat
while your husband drives.
If you have grandchildren,
you could take them out every day.
I just...
I'm alone.
Then you should drive.
Actually, driving this car is more
enjoyable than riding in it
because its handling is exceptional.
Why don't I give you a test drive?Come
on
over.
After so long without seeing you , I
thought you came to visit me.
But the first thing you do is ask your
brother for money ?
I worked for you for three years,
averaging less than a thousand a month.
Are
we family or not
? Shouldn't family help each other?
Money? What money?
Sis, you want to buy a car now .
If your brother can afford
it, I'll cover it for you.
I'm really not in a position to...
That's not it
. I didn't come to ask you for
anything.help me
. I came to ask you
for the wages I earned working for you
these past three years.
Sis, what's gotten into you?
You never asked me for money before.
We agreed to settle it later ,
but who knew it would take seven or eight
years?
I'm telling you, you have to pay me back.
You're grown now
What kind of car are you buying
? Just to work at the supermarket?
That salary won't even cover gas money.
Mind your own business.
Just transfer me the money.
How could I have money?
Look at
me . Do I have any business going?
What good does pressuring me do
? So admit you owe me money
. Are we family or not?
You owe me at least twenty grand.
Otherwise , I'm taking you to court.
Are we family or not?
Pay me back .
Does he have someone else?
You told me you'd k*ll him.
Well, no
. Did he hit you
? Then
why get divorced ? Why, sis?
I feel like...My brother-in-law's just a
bit stingy,
nothing major.
We're just incompatible
I told you to think it through back then,
but you wouldn't listen.
So what? We're getting along fine now
. Incompatible?
I'm actually warming up to this Xiao Sun
guy.
He's decent, ambitious, no bad habits.
How is he not good enough for you?
I can't go on like this.
I want to bring Xue back
and find a job here
What are you thinking, sis?
So many people are laid off now.
Jobs aren't
Xue ,
your brother's getting married soon.
We don't have enough room.
Besides, Xue'er's so young
could you bear it?
Hong, you're alone now.
You don't have a steady job or a place of
your own.
How will you raise a child and make it in
this world?
Mom, why won't you eat?
Xue'er,
when you grow up, don't be like your
mother
soft as dumplings, tough as noodles.
Be firm and resilient.
Got it?
From childhood on,since she was little.
All that dough I kneaded for her ? It adds
up to tons.
Hong
, don't be so hard on
your brother. He's over fifty and
still hasn't bought a house for his son
. He's got enough on his plate.
He'll help you
just give him time.
Why go to court ?
That's ridiculous .
Imagine the shame if relatives find out
. I don't care what they think.
If he won't pay, we'll see him in court
How can you be so heartless?
You're hisown sister.
I'm his own sister
. Well, am I your own daughter then?
I should've gone to college,
but you two
wouldn't let me because of your precious
son
I got laid off in my twenties.
I've been doing odd jobs my whole life.
Why
should I work for my brother for free now
that I'm in my forties?
You're a woman too
. You've been a sister
. You've been a daughter.
Is this fair?
I remember when I was little,
my mom would make steamed buns with white
flour for my brother
while
I ate cornbread . I never complained.
Never once.
Go ahead and fuss.
Nobody's buying in the homeowners' group,
huh?
Lost both the wife and the army.
Don't blame me for this.
It's not my fault.
It's got nothing to do with you.
Mom can't carry him anymore.
Go find your dad.
Come on, Daddy's here.
Let's go play on the slide.
Come on, come on, come on.
I'm telling you, how can you be
socarefree?
All you do is play games.
What's up, honey
? I'll tell you
Mom and Uncle Li totally blew up over that
money.
What
for? Honey , I'm about to win.
What's wrong?
Mom's been doing great lately, right?
The doctor even cut her meds.
She's been in such good spirits
like a whole new person.
That
's exactly why we need to make her?
How about we
chip in and cover her down payment?
How much?
My uncle still owes over ten thousand.
Fine
, we'll cover it.
Ten minutes of free time for you.
Thanks, honey.
Alright. Li Hong,
at your age,
why did you suddenly decide to get your
driver's license?
Pretty impressive, huh?
I was planning to learn too, but
my husband said it wasn't necessary
. He'll drive me wherever I want to go.
Who could compare to you?
Next, should
we upgrade to an Audi ?
I 'm still driving a Mercedes. I
could only afford an Alto at most . Buying
a car?
When did you save up?
You can get a loan for a car . I'm
planning to start today
sell everything I own to pay off the loan.
But where would we even go with a car?
Driving to buy groceries,
taking the grandkids to school
the parking fees alone would eat us alive
. Go wherever you want .
In those car enthusiast groups,They're
having so much fun,
brainstorming ideas together.
They travel all over the country,
free as birds .
They're living the good life.
What group?
Did you join some organization
? A car enthusiasts group
. It's full of people who
go on road trips.
They 're out exploring . Didn't you just
quit that?
You should join too.
You can eat apples by yourself.
I've already planned it.
Once my kid starts kindergarten,
I'm hitting the road
. One push of the gas pedal
The world is mine to roam.
How wonderful
. Hey,
why're you back so early today?
I went to the supermarket
and chatted with Ma Jie and the others.
I bought some spare ribs
I'll make you braised ribs.
The wine was on sale, so I grabbed a
bottle too.
We should have a drink tonight.
You know why?
Mom,
okay
. You got your license by May Dayyou
really did it
!
That's amazing
. Hey ,
I'll make you braised spare ribs.
We've gotta celebrate properly.
Celebrate! Celebrate hard
! Celebrate your daughter losing her job!
What's that?
Your daughter got laid off
for being at the bottom of her performance
rankings ? Is that your doing
? Dad
, why
would it be ? Your performance was great,
right?
She's been at the bottom these past few
months.
Why else ?
Xiaoxue kept taking days off.
You got your license
and got your daughter fired.
Mom, it's fine.
Xiaoxue needed a break anyway . take a
break at home
and look after the baby.
What do you mean?
Do you think
working is harder than staying home with
the baby?
So what?
Why don't you go home and rest?
No, no
, I really didn't mean it that way. Just a
slip of the tongue.
A slip of the tongue means it's your
subconscious talking.
What's wrong? Are
you really upset? I really didn't mean it,
honey.
Do you think staying home with the kids
every day
is like playing?
No .
Haven't I always said
Mom is the greatest and most honorable
giving everything for this family?
Don't flatter me.
Why flatter me? Kidnap me?
Kidnap me for what?
Stay home and take care of your kids
forever?
Xiaoxue Yao Xue
, let me see your driver's license
.
Here . When are you taking me on a trip
around the world ? Right here,
right here. Here
it is. Tickets are booked.
Daughter, study hard at school.
Always keep your head down.
Got it, got it.
Let me see.
Any snacks?
Daughter, should I get you something?
Eat a pear before we drive.
Where's your water?
Let's go.Mom
, if we can't argue anymore, let's just
divorce.
What are you talking about?
We weren't even arguing.
My daughter's home.
Hey,
sweetie, look!
Daddy caught you a big Yellow River carp
I'll braise it for dinner tonight.
Come see !
I'm telling you,
this fish must weigh five pounds.
It's still alive!
Of course it is!
For braising,
you have to use it fresh.fresh.
I'm telling you
, you couldn't buy this for fifty bucks at
the market.
Quick, chop chop .
Braised fish for dinner tonight .
I've never handled a live fish before.
What's so hard about it?
You go watch.
Keep an eye on it
. Right here, right here.
You can't move it?
What's so hard
? If you don't know, you can learn
. This, this, this... Is it hard?
I'm scared, I'm scared.
What woman doesn't k*ll fish
? I'veI told you I can't handle
it . What's there to be afraid of?
Come here, take it.
Why are you afraid?
Grab the rolling pin.
I don't believe
you're scared.
You're just lazy.
See how hard it is?
Come over here and watch.
Just whack it on the head . That's it.
Braised fish.
Stop acting like a spoiled princess.
What's so hard about it?
I'm not eating at home tonight.
Daughter, daughter
. This fish weighs over five pounds.
Daughter
Niu,
you two should just get divorced.
What are
you talking about? You're too weak.
If you get divorced,
you won't even have a place to live.
That's just an excuse. You're being weak.
How is
that an excuse ? It's obvious.
Just wait.
Wait until you graduate from college and
get married.
Don't worry, I definitely won't get
married.
And don't say it's for my sake.
Why get married just to fight forever?
Xue'er,
from now on, you decide your own matters.
Mom won't interfere,
but
I hope you find someone you love
and who loves you back. -Mom,
someone who'll cherish you
. No one believes in romantic dramas these
days , but
I believe in you .
I know you'll find someone you love.
My life is what it is,
but
my daughter deserves better. Someone who
loves her faithfully,
stays by her side, cares for her forever
Will you
do that? I will.
Xiao Xu is kind
and honest
. It's just his father-in-law
who's always sick
And the house we bought is so small.
and out in the suburbs
As long as Xue'er likes it
as long as she's happy,
I'm fine with it. I'm willing.
The last rose of summer
still blooms alone.
All her lovely companions
have withered and died.
Not a single flower remains
to accompany her,
to reflect her crimson cheeks
, to sigh and grieve with her.
-Dad - Left turn, left turn.
Hit it, hit it,
hit it. Hit it, hit it, hit it
. Stop, stop, stop.
Mom
I brought the car back for you
. Come see Grandma's new ride, quick
! - What do you think? Pretty? -What a big
deal, like buying a Mercedes!
Dad, this car performs well
and offers great value
Why don't you test drive
it now ? Wait till tonight when it's less
crowded.
No problem,
give it to me.
Your mom's never driven it.
I'll take it.
Dad, this car's compact,
just rightnot too big.
Xiao Xu,
get Dabao and Erbao in the car.
You two go ahead.
Grandpa will take them for a spin
. YouTry out your new ride
. Dad, we'll just stay home.
Okay, okay.
Come here, come here.
First release the parking brake.
Shift into reverse (R).
Buckle up. Fasten your seatbelt.
Stay safe.
Sweetie,
you're so good. Such a good boy, so
adorable.
Little one must be
almost two now ? They're almost two and a
half.
I'll tell you what
news about you learning to drive
spread like wildfire in the group chat
. Once my two little ones start
kindergarten
in September ,
I plan to drive to Chengdu to visit you
guys
. Sounds good.
For you , we'll organize another reunion.
Start a new chapter, enjoy a new life
. Alright
, we'll be waiting for you in Chengdu
. Hey,
everyone,
my ride's here, gotta go.
Xiaoxue, sorry, I have to go to class
. You're really leaving?
Xiaoxue finally gets out,
and you're going to class? What
class? She's learning management for a
promotion.
Bye, I'm off.
Ignore her.Let's hang out
What do you want to do tonight?
Watch a movie?
What's good?
How about "Hu Lai
" 3 ? Sure
. Let me see who's free tonight.
Old Tang is hilarious
. I haven't seen him yet.
Xiaoxue, come with us!
I'm telling you, he's super handsome.
I keep seeing him online
. You guys go ahead, I'm not joining.
No way! How long has it been since you
last went out?
Exactly .
All five-star reviewsit's definitely him.
Buy it!
Yaoxue,
I bought you two outfits.
See if you like them.
You're buying me clothes now?
I didn't pick
thembig data selected them.
Trendy Mom Home Store.
High ratings.
They say the fabric is super soft,
gentle on kids' skin.
See if you like them
. How could I not?
Skin-friendly and durable.
They'll last a lifetime.
They're just my work clothes for taking
care of the baby
Does your big data have
any Trendy Dad Home Stores ? Or dad-baby
stuff?
You don't look thrilled.
What's wrong?
What?
Big data upset you? I didn't even.... It's
not like
I picked it out myself. I finally bought
you clothes, and
all you think about is whether it fits the
kid.
Did you even consider if I like it?
My bad, I'll return it.
Okay ,
I'm not mad anymore.
I know taking care of the kids is tough.
Women are the greatest
. What's so great about it?
Our moms were so great they got depressed.
Why aren't you men great
? Say something!
Men can talk, right
? I just want to know what's really going
on.
I want you to tell me
. I want to hear youWhat's the big deal
? I'll try to understand.
You know, "Hu Lai" ? Yeah,
I know
. That stand-up comedy place?
My coworkers know about
it too . Turns out the whole world
knows except me.
If you wanna go, we can go anytime.
Xu Xiaoyang,
it's not that
I think taking care of the kid is hard. I
feel trapped.
Even abandoned.
Everyone else is moving forward,
and I'm the only one stuck in place.
So once the kid starts kindergarten,
I'm going back to work no matter what.
Grandma , what's different about you
today? Do you look good?
You're dressed like a ghost . It's just
kindergarten. Give me back those car keys.
Why drive to kindergarten?
Dad,
give Mom the car
What's with all this family stuff
? I already planned to go fishing.
We are family,
but haven't you two always kept separate
accounts all these years?
Mom bought the car, right
She paid off the loan too, right?
If you really want to drive it, shouldn't
you ask her first?Ah
, I'll drive my own car.
Mom,
catch this.
Good morning.
Say
good morning to the teacher . Good
morning,
teacher.
Goodbye ,
teacher. Good morning.
But school's started.
Then rest up at home during the day.
I'm going to driving practice today.
I'm hitting the road. Be careful then.
I'm off for an interview
. Good luck!
Yeah.
Good morning,
Mom. Mom, Mom.
Sending you a heart.
Go for it
! Go for it!
Auntie, I see you've been standing here
for ages.
Come on in and have a look.
What do you want?What would
you like? Take a look at these itemsyou
have
everything, right? The whole set
? Preparing for a long trip
? Come on in
and take a look. If I buy a lot,
can I get a bigger discount?
Can I get a bigger discount
?
Sure. What salary are you expecting?
Three thousand to five thousand.
The questions you just asked me already
violate labor laws.
Companies have their own hiring standards.
Did you ask him the same questions?
Are you married ?
Do you have kids?
How old are the kids?
I don't know either.Why are you so upset
?
I just couldn't hold back. I think it's
fine.
If you need to scold, scold. If you need
to speak up, speak up.
You can't just indulge them
.
Alright , I'll go to the next place. Fine,
I'll go see the next client too.
Bye
. Dandan,
it's settled
. Alright .
See you in Chengdu then. See you in
Chengdu.
Mommy, mommy, I want to slide down the
slide.
Let's go.
bothering Mom.
Dad will take you guys to play.
Come on, let's go
slide ! Come on , slide!
I just don't get it .
Every time it comes down to it, you have
something else to do
. You're the one with no commitments.
Couldn't you skip fishing a couple times?
Skip ping pong a couple times?
I'm only gone for ten days total
Can't you watch the kids for ten days?
How could that work
? How could I feel at ease?Hey
, remember when you
suddenly got obsessed with learning to
drive?
You lost your daughter's job over
it . Now she finally has work, and look
what happens again.
Mom
, if you wanted to learn to drive, buy a
car,
and travel the world before
I'd totally support you.
I want you happy,
seeing more of the world
But could we skip this reunion?
Mom, I'm thirty.
You know how many resumes I've sent out
just to get this one call? I just promised
them I wouldn't take time off for family
stuff. I promised I'd be there immediately
if they needed overtime. Now you're
leaving? I might not even make it through
my probation period.how many resumes
before I finally got this one call?
I just promised them
I wouldn't take time off for family stuff.
I just promised them
I'd be the first one there whenever they
needed overtime
. Now you're leaving
? I might not even make it through my
probation period.
They'll fire me.
This isn't your era anymore,
Mom . The competition out there is brutal.
I don't want to end up sweeping streets.
See how your mom pretends not to hear?
She has zero big-picture perspective. Mom,
why don't you just...Wait a bit longer.
Let me get settled at the new company.
I need time to organize things at home and
find a nanny, right?
If not, we can wait until next May Day or
National Day.
If that doesn't work, then Spring Festival
. The whole family can take the two little
ones
out for a trip together.
How
about it? You don't have anything
important
to do anyway. When would be a good time?
Tell me, is your daughter's future more
important,
or is your own fun more important?
How can such an old woman be so
unreasonable?
Dad , don't talk to Mom like that
. Your dad's right
Niu, your future is what matters most.
Mom's not leaving!
This time, your mom finally gets it.
I'll come back to be with you.
Erbao, hurry up Mommy's going to work.
Mommy's off to work
. Say goodbye to Mommy.
I'll come back to be with you.
Bye, Mom.
Go on .
Li Hong,
Ma Jie
your kid's here too?
Been here two weeks
Haven't seen you in so long.
How have you been?
Slaving away for the grandson.
Your daughter-in-law doesn't appreciate
you either
Didn't you go to ballroom dancing?
Why bring the grandson along?
But with your husband helping out, it's
manageable.
Help with what?
He went ballroom dancing himself.
I'm home taking care of the kid.
Didn't you...
didn't you go on a road trip?
I thought you were out and hadn't come
back.
I haven't gone yet.
I just...can't get away. Wait a bit longer
. Didn't you say you'd go once the kid
started kindergarten
? How long are we gonna wait?
We'll talk about it later
. Sweetie,
why are you upset again?
Li Hong
, are you ever gonna leave?
You said you'd roam the world freely.
Let's go then.
Put this on
.
Mom ,
Mom's back
! Time for cake!
Let's celebrate properly today.
Whose birthday is it?
Today's my probationary period end
. Xiao Xu got promoted
.First,
we're celebrating Dad winning a medal and
bringing honor to our family.
Not worth mentioning. Not worth
mentioning.
Second, celebrating Xiaoxue becoming
the property manager.
Awesome
. Third,
thanking Mom
for all her hard work for our family over
the years
It's only right . It's only right.
I guess I got promoted too.
So that's three celebrations in one.
Let's celebrate.
Grandma,
what now?
Grandma,
I'm calling you. Mom
Come take
a look.
What now? Who wet their pants? You two
! Who did
it? How did it get on my couch?
I told you to use diapers!
She insists on using pull-ups.
Just change it, just change it.
I've said it a thousand times, she never
listens.
Who did it?
Who wet it? Was it Brother?
Does it
hurt? No.
Mom, what happened to Dabao's ankle?
Why is it so red ? like this
? I'm asking you a question!
Did
you hurt it at kindergarten ? Did you ask
the teacher when you got home?
What happened? I'm asking you!
Big Kid didn't say anything, and I didn't
notice.
You have to be careful about everything. 1
At least it didn't break the skin
. If it had broken the skin, we'd have to
treat the wound.
Next time, be more careful when you get
home from school.
You bet. If you get hurt, you have to tell
me.
Mom will take you to change your pants.
Come on, Dad.
Mom.
It's okay . It's fine, Dad.
Ping pong ba*ls are clattering everywhere
. Pick them up quickly. We don't have many
left.
You...
Dad, this medal is really impressive
. I'll tell you,
if I hadn't gone easy on Old Liu,
I would've won the championship.
He begged me so earnestly
I'm just too soft-hearted.
Right .
The championship is yours.
Niu
Niu,
Mom . What's wrong
? Fill it up
. Dad, here. To you.
Come on, girl
I'm done with your business.
I'm leaving tomorrow.
What's wrong, Mom ?
Where are you going?
Doesn't matter where. Anywhere.
Are you...
I'm saying on this happy day,
don't pull any stunts. Just
chill out.
What do you mean chill out?
Chill out about what ?
All these years...
all these years...What do you take me for
? Have you ever said a single kind word ?
Have you ever cared about my feelings?
I've served you for thirty years, always
reading your mood.
What gives you the right to boss me around
day in and day out?
What gives?
What's wrong with you?
Didn't take your meds?
What gives ? Because I
'm the head of this household.
What gives? You're the head of this
household?
What gives ? What gives? I'm just a free
maid?
What gives? Because I'm smarter than you?
What makes you think you're the head of
the household

But come home and treat me like a beggar?
Why should I put up
with your abuse? Why should I swallow
every nasty word
?
Why? I'll tell you
why. Stop talking.
If you think this home is no good,
go wherever you want.
Leave now. Go wherever you please.
I should have left long ago.
I stayed
because I was foolish, too weak.
I thought if I endured, this life would
pass.
But I don't think that way anymore.Sun
Dayong,
from now on ,
don't even think about ordering me around
anymore.
Don't you dare point that finger at me
again.
Dad, just shut up.
Dad, let her go.
Two thousand a month ?
Where do you think she'll go?
She can't even afford the highway tolls.
You think you're some retired official?
You have no idea how high the sky is or
how thick the earth is.
No woman is as selfish as you
. Dad, no, no, no... - How selfish!
Dad
, so selfish!
Shut up, just shut up!
If I don't be selfish today,
I'd be letting you down
. Mom, no, no, no!
Talk some sense into her!
I really can't go.
The pandemic
's so bad out there, roads are blocked
everywhere.
Where would I go?
Mom,
we agreed!
Wait until I get things settled at home,
wait for me!
I can't wait anymore
! I can't wait!
My whole life I've waited for my brother
to grow up and get married. I waited for
me to get married and find a good man. I
waited for you to grow up, for you to get
married. I waited for Da Bao and Er Bao to
start kindergarten. Now I have to wait for
you, for your career. I still have to wait
for Da Bao and Er Bao to grow up, wait for
them.grow up and
get married. I waited for myself to marry
a good man.
I waited for you to grow up, for you to
marry.
I waited for Dabao and Erbao to start
kindergarten.
Now I have to wait for your career
. Later I'll have to wait for Dabao and
Erbao to grow up,
wait for them.
How long am I supposed to wait?
If I keep waiting, I'll never leave.
Haven't you all gotten promotions?
Made progress, right?
Celebrate it well .
I want my own things too.
I'm just like you.
Mom, youcan't go out late at night.
Mom, Mom ,
where could you possibly go now?
Are you leaving and not coming back?
What's going on?
I just got my permanent position today.
Girl
figure it out yourself.
Don't anyone stop me.
Mom
, Mom
, Mom ,
Xiao Hong, there's an outbreak here
You can't come in now.
My daughter-in-law is pregnant with their
second child.
The family can't spare anyone right now
What about Shuying's daughter?She's going
through another divorce.
Xiaoyun's even more stressed
her son's racked up millions in online
loans.
Just wait a bit longer.
Wait? Wait
how long?
Fill it up .
Are all the roads blocked now?
Surely not every single one.
Mountain paths,
back roads there's always a way
. Fill it up, driver
. Here,
try this. I made this chili sauce myself.
Go on, taste it.
Sister Hong , don't fuss about it . Sit
down and eat.
Careful, it's spicy!
Sister Hong, this chili sauce is so
fragrant
. Spicy enough?
