Nurse lady.
Have you seen Liu Xiuxiu?
Xiuxiu...she was there at first. She left to get things for awhile.
Fine. I'll wait for her here.
Our hospital has rules, people that are not from medical staff
Should not remain for too long, you should leave soon
Alright.
Jin Feng.
Xiaoman. I beg you. Please stop visiting me.
Isn't what happened yesterday bad enough?
Always saying that you'll help
But instead cause more trouble
I'll not cause any trouble to you
Oh right, I fight some Japs
Oh really? Congratulation.
I was even hurt. See?
See, see.
Then how many Japs did you fought?
Let's see 4.
4. Fine.
Next time when you kill one more Japs, come here and keep the record
You still have 96 more to go
You serious?
I wasn't kidding
You're making it difficult.
Yes. I'm making it difficult.
So that you'll back off.
Xiuxiu.
Why are you crying? Who bullied you?
Nobody..
I know it..
It must be that brat again
Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu... don't cry.
Don't cry...
Today grandma told him to come apologize to you
How about this, Xiu xiu.
In awhile,I'll let you ride him as a horse.
I'm not Pinan, why would I need to ride a horse?
Then smile one.
Tell me how you want to punish him. I'll help you.
This brat...It's him who needs to come and apologize
How come I'm the one talking here
Xiaoman, Xiaoman
-Doctor Liu want you to put more medicine-Oh, okay.
Xiaoman
What were you doing? Going where now?
Come back
Quick. Apologize to Xiuxiu.
Grandma is waiting back home with sticks
Xiuxiu, he's here to say sorry
Grandma, dad and mom are missing you already
Come live back home.
The most important word?
Xiuxiu...I'm sorry.
That I made you felt mistreated.
You didn't do any wrong. It's ok.
Come back home and live with us. I'll not bully you anymore.
It's nothing. You never bullied me.
No..Grandma said if you don't go back, she'll kick me out of the house.
What are you saying?
Xiuxiu, he left the city yesterday and was caught by the Japs.
He barely survived so he hasn't fully recovered from the shock
He really is sincerely apologizing to you today
Didn't you say that you weren't mentioning this?
You think I was not embarrassed enough?
Xiuxiu, I'll go back with you guys.
Really?
But...you'll have to promise me something.
I'll like to bring Jinfeng and the nurses here.
Back home to eat a meal.
As long as you'll come back, anything is fine!
Let's pack. And go home!
-Just follow me.-Yes, brother.
Officer..Just let me do it.
Don't come here.
Gao Ya Nei still hasn't left?
Yah, he has been here many days already. Isn't he a quartermaster now?
What's he doing here? Wouldn't his executives be finding him?
Such a plague
Trouble follows him everywhere
If he's not going back then don't go back.
His executives even wish him to not go back forever.
He'll be not a problem as long as I don't see him
Big brother
Why is he at the kitchen?
How would I know?
Let's go and see.
Who is this?Who is trying to burn the kitchen?
Does he know how to work? This..
Isn't this Officer Gu? See..
Ahh, these days our food has been made by Officer Gu.
What's that saying..
What a fortune!
And you know
What a fortune! What a fortune!
I'm just in charge of lighting the fire, I'm not in charge of cooking.
Didn't I gave you two wonderful ideas?
Your first use the first idea.That's the best one. If the first one doesn't work...
You then come to the kitchen. This is the worst one..
I don't care which works better. I just want it to work.
That day you told me to find the executives, the commander was there too.
According to the seniority of the family, I'll have to call him Uncle.
And with his relationship to my family
He can force me on the ground and hit my butt.
I'm not that stupid to run right into it.
This...seems like you're quite smart.
The ways of the world, you still know it right?
If our Xiangxiang married you, I'll be relived.
Can you not always try to set up that devil in you house and me?
You should not admit it..you guys are destined
Or else, why can you meet her where ever you go.
That not destined. It's because it's a small world.
I don't care if it's small or big
It can only be small if it's destined.
Me and you are also considered a small world.
Aren't you done watching yet?Go do your work, stop disturbing me.
See..mad again..mad again.
Come, come. Such a dusty face. Wipe it
Aren't you going yet? Do you still want to make fun of me?
Why do you think like this? I was trying to help you.
The taboo of lighting fire is being anxious.Look how anxious you were.
Look, all the straw are stuffed.
If it's stuffed. Fire will be suppressed. Of course it wouldn't burn.
Put less straw.
See, it's burning now. Right?
When the flame starts, add some wood.
You can light fire?
What can't kids from poor families do?
Kids from poor families have to do everything themselves since young.
If they can't do anything, they would have starved too death.
Unlike you..
Young master from a rich family.
Lives an easy life with everything being provided.
Don't be too proud. I'm a fast learner.
Learn okay. Learn well.
Learn well.
So that in the future I have something to bluff about
That our division.
Has a cook officer with the rank of a major.
Keep laughing. As long as this work, I won't be dealing with you.
Mom, Nanny! Xiuxiu's back!
Grandma, Grandma.
Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu.
-You're back, Xiuxiu.-Hi grandma.-Hi.
Grandma. All these nurses help me at the hospital these days.
So I'll like to bring them home to eat a meal.
Of course. Of course.
I'll prepare tea and snacks for you guys. Come.
Thankyou
What's going on?
Something's wrong.
What's wrong?
Xiuxiu was really afraid that grandma will hit you badly once you're back
That's why she agreed to come back.
She's very good to you.
Xiangxiang. What again?
Not right, I feel like something will definitely go wrong tonight.
Can you go ask Xiuxiu.
What exactly is she doing?
Do you have conscience?Don't you know how Xiuxiu treats you?
She'll not hesitate to give you the whole world.
And you are doubting her now?
I'm just afraid that she'll give all the good things to me.
I don't want that.
Don't you know what you are fortunate?
Xiangxiang..Good Xiangxiang.
Ask her for me?
Please, just this once.
Fine.Fine.
Here.
Cut this for awhile.
Sister Jinfeng can you go upstairs with me?
I'll show you something.
What?
Come with me first.
I'm busing washing the vegetables, Xiuxiu.
Wash it later.
Come.
Xiuxiu, what thing? It's hidden very secretly.
I found it.
This bracelet is so pretty.
This is for you.
For me?
This is not a holiday or anything, why are you giving me a gift?
Also, this is too precious.
Silver done by an smith from the village. Doesn't worth much.
No. I still can't have it.
You should just keep it for yourself.
You see, I can't wear accessories when I work.
Just keep it.
Just keep it as a gift for you and Xiaoman's wedding.
What are you saying?
Come.
Xiangxiang.
What?
Hurry.Hurry!
How is it?Have you asked?
Ask what? I was just going to find Xixiu.
And I saw Xiuxiu and JinFeng enter the room.
You should have followed them!
Are you stupid? I told you
I saw Xiuxiu and JinFeng entered the room.How will I follow them?
No..Why are JInFeng and Xiuxiu together? They don't know each other.
Is it because Xiuxiu knows about you and Jinfeng?
Xiaoman like you very much.
If he can't see you a day. He can neither eat or sleep.
Xiuxiu. I think you have a misunderstanding.
He might like to fool around.
But he is a very nice person.
You might think he is full of flaws
It is because he hasn't grown up.
This has nothing to do with me.
Jinfeng sister.Xiaoman was unsure about what to do for you.
For you, he was willing to risk his life.
I want him to give up.
I didn't expect him.
To really go up to battlefront.
Jinfeng sister.
You are good to casualtes, patients and me.
But why are you so heartless to Xiaoman.
Xiuxiu. I am Xiaoman's classmate and friend.
If he's sick or injured during the war I'll take care of him well.
But I can't treat him as nice as you do.
I'm not heartless to him.
But I don't have any extra feelings for him.
That's why Xiaoman was really hurt.
You words really hurts alot.
Truth does not sound good.
But I don't want to lie to you and Xiaoman.
Xiangxiang.
What are you doing? I'm not going.
Just go once for me.
I beg you. Good Xiangxiang.
Go once for me.
Xiangxiang, please. Just go once.
Jinfeng
Xiaoman, don't worry.
Xiuxiu didn't say anything bad about you.
Instead she was praising so much about you to me.
Praising me?
What does that mean? I don't understand
One day, you'll understand. Xiuxiu is a good girl.
As long as you're happy. She'll do anything for you
You should open up you eyes and observe her carefully.
Don't waste your energy on something that will not happen.
Why is it no possible for you and me?
Talk softer! Do you want Dad and Mom to hear it?
This Xiuxiu is such a troublemaker.
Who I like has nothing to do with her!
What's wrong?
Nothing. I just scolded him a little and he went in.
There's isn't a day when you two don't argue.
Jinfeng, don't care about him.
It's fine.
However..
Our Xiaoman has a great infatuation with you.
But how's your heart as solid as stone.
I think taro taste very good
Taste this.
Don't give me anymore. You guys are the ones here to eat.
Xiuxiu. Xiuxiu. Here.
Bring these two up there first.
And then I left it.
Xiaoman, fill up some rice for me. Eat a lot.
Dried tofu slices are here.
Move the place. I don't eat spice.
I cannot eat spicy food.
-This is taro.- Xiangxiang, have some.
Eat up. Eat up.
Grandma, next time come visit us often.
Ok, if you come again I'll cook make good food.
You all come! Alright,goodbye.
Ok.
Xiaoman, stop it. I'll clean it later.
Grandma punished me to help you work.
She said I am a leech. All I know is to order you to serve me.
You're not. I'm willing to serve you.
Don't be too good to me.
Is it wrong to be good to you?
Yes, big mistake.
Xiuxiu, don't be causing for trouble for me ok?
You go finding Jinfeng was a disservice to me.
-Who is it?-Me.
Brother Xiaoqiu
Xiaoman young master.
How are you here?
Xiaoqiu, how did you come here?
I came to give some things to the house.
-It's fine.-Xiuxiu, hurry.
From so far!
Why is Changsha like this now?
There isn't a road station.
It's so much work. You brought so many things.
It's fine. It's fine.
Granny Shi..
Actually, the master sent us here.
First, is to see if the state of the house is fine
Second, he still wants me
To bring the entire family back to Xiangtan.
Our house was repainted.
Furniture are newly order with new design.You all will definitely like it.
Unfortunately, many of us were sick and we left in a hurry so we didn't get to visit.
Because of this,master punished me to kneel at the shrine for a night
For not being able to keep the guest
We are very sorry.
He, only knows to do these things.
Granny Shi, now Changsha city wasn't like before
Instead of living here fearfully.
Why not go back to Xiangtan
A family living together will also be easier to look after each other
Mom, what Xiaoqiu said makes sense
There is.
If you all are going back you all go. Don't expect me.
The fire didn't burn this house.
And me.
So there isn't anything that can scare me now.
How about let Xiangxiang and Xiaoman go back with you?
These 2 kids have been terrified a lot recently.
Let them go back and be more relived.
That's also a way.
Master always love to hear about Lady Xiangxiang and Xiaoman young master.
By just bringing up the twins
He can eat so much more bowls of rice.
Mom..Xiangjun's idea is good.
You see, Xiaoman is too naughty.
If he goes out again and meets the Japs
I afraid he'll not have the same fortune to meet a savior.
Yeah, mom.
Xiangxiang lost so much weight for Chenzhi and her brother in law's business
I feel so sorry for her.
Alright.
The kids are old enough now.
You guys go ask them.
If they're willing to go back.
Let to go. I'll not stop them.
Great-uncle will not give up unless he see us
But before brother in law left,he wanted me to take care of the house.
I'm not going anywhere.
This house have me and Xiuxiu. You can be assured.
Also, you're always very clumsy. What can you help?
I'm not clumsy.
You will have to think of Xiaoman.
What's wrong with the brat?
I don't feel safe about him.
As the elder sister, I feel very sad.
Don't know who was the one that brought you guys to play
As you guys grew up, it all changed.
You guys don't even tell me about your crushes now.
You both are rascals!
Sis, it's not that I didn't tell you.
This is about Xioman's personal question.
For me, it's not good to tell others about it.
I can't say it. I will not say it.
Fine. Don't say it if you don't want to.
Xiaoman's life is very bitter.He is willing to give out his heart for Jinfeng.
But Jinfeng doesn't want it.
Just because of this..
You being the sister has to think for him more
Bring him out of Changsha
Stop him from going to dead end.
What can he do with his upfront temper?
So, if he keeps pestering. Who knows what he might do?
Don't think too much. Listen to my words and quickly pack up.
Leave tomorrow morning with Xiaoqiu.
-That soon.- The sooner the better.
If he drives away Xiuxiu again, the house will be in great mess.
Okay.
Watch how I'll teach him a lesson when we're at the countryside.
Let me tell you. The countryside is different from the city.
Don't cause trouble.
-Hear it?After you arrive, first go pray at the shrine.
Don't let others think that we're impolite.
Children from the countryside are more strictly controlled.
-After you guys arrive..-We know.
Don't worry grandma. Go back.
Xiaoman, don't run into the mountains. There are many poisonous monsters.
You already said it for the 800 times.
Xiuxiu don't worry. I keep an eye on him for you.
-Go back.-Dad, stop drinking.
Drink less!
You guys don't just play around, remember to do your works.
Avoid ponds and ditches! Be careful.
Don't send us anymore.
-Rickshaw
Coming. Coming
You guys see.
This is our family's rice shop.
Last time when there was a fire we were afraid they might set fire in Xiangtan.
So no one could come out and properly host you.
Our families rice shop is bigger than all the other rice shops.
Yes and more staffs than all the other shops.
Man, look! It's so beautiful.
Indeed.
If we hadn't passed the military camp earlier you couldn't even tell that Hunan was preparing for war.
Please come in.
We've come to pay our respects to our ancestors.
Hu twins!
Hu xiang xiang, Hu xiang jiang come to worship,
the ancestors.
It's all my bad karma.
Even after hundred of years,
I surly will show remorse for my wronging to the ancestors.
the world is in chaos,
I pray that the ancestors will watch over the grandchildren.
protect Xiaoman and make sure he is safe and sound.
I pray that Xiang Xiang will marry a good person,
don't let them experience hardship.
Can you not go onto my bed?
How comfortable.
Get up, stop fooling around, get up.
Xiao Man, Xiang Xiang!
Little stutterer.
Xiao Man.
Alright, alright you two stop playing rough.
You are just now coming? My neck is sore from waiting!
Wait a moment.
Xiang Shui, this is the pancake we brought for you.
If Changsha hadn't been burnt we could have given better pancakes.
This is already excellent.
I heard about that,
It's okay even if you don't get married.
We can afford to feed you.
How can you be so blunt with your words?
No wonder Great-uncle punishes you.
Xiang Xiang, isn't the countryside scenery your favorite?
I know this place, really beautiful.
Let's go together.
I'm not going.
Come on.
I'm not going Let's go, hurry.
Hey, slow down!
Xiaoman hurry up, this way.
Slow down! Don't fall!
Xiangxiang
Be careful
Xiangxiang Be careful
Be careful. Xiaoman!
Didn't I tell you to slow down.
Let me go down, hold on to me - I'll hold on to you, careful.
Here, give me you hand -Are you okay, Xiangxiang?
Careful
Here, grab my hand.
Hold on Too much dirt
Son, I finally found you.
I finally found you.
You caused me to be worried to death.
Who is this?! -Son, let mom kiss you -Help me!
Let mom kiss you alright?
3rd Great-aunt
- Come, let Mom kiss you.- Help!
Xiaoman, what is going on?
Xiaoman, help
Why are you guys not helping? Hurry hurry
Let me tell you, no need to help. When later granny has kissed enough
She will let him go on her own.
Let Mom kiss you.
What is she kisses him to death? Hurry and save me Xiaoman
So dirty
Bingyi, my son, you are finally home.
Bingyi, Bingyi -Get lost
Xiaoman
Seeing that my granny smothered you with snot and tears
come, older brother will wash your clothes for you it's okay, it's okay.
You're acting like I really want to look after you.
My goodwill is wasted on you
Bingyi
You're sick
Master Xiaoman, please change your clothes
I'm not changing
You should put it on, otherwise Master will be mad if he sees you dressed like this.
I'm more afraid that he wouldn't see this. He should discipline that high and mighty guy carefully.
Please don't. 3rd Mistress is sick.
Master Xiangping doesn't listen either.
Master is already frustrated enough,
you guys shouldn't cause him any more anger
Why does 3rd Great-aunt sees Xiaoman as her husband one moment and her son the next?
It's a long story,
Even though our family has a big estate and business
But we don't have many people. the "Chang" generation is only left with Uncle Changding.
But he only wants to fight in the war
and have no interest in the family business. Therefore, they all died away from home.
3rd Mistress could not take it anymore
and became crazy. -Then is there anyone else in 3rd Great-uncle's family?
There is only Xiangping left
No wonder
I was wondering why he was talking so weirdly
With us here, we are stealing his spotlight
It is not that. Every boy in the village want to go fight in the war.
but Master refuses, he won't even allow a wooden gun.
Master Xiangping always to to lead everyone in war exercises.
With you guys here, no one is interested in going anymore
Of course he would be unhappy.
Why didn't you say so earlier.
I want to go too.
Why are you participating?
Why does every one of you want to go off to fight so badly? You can't wait to die?
You guys should hurry and wash up.
It is almost time to eat. If you guys are not there on time
Great-uncle will punish me. -Seriously?
Don't worry. The master really likes you two.
He always so that twins are signs of luck.
Once there was a pair of twins in the Hu famiily.
The family was prosperous for 3 or 4 generations.
So that is why.
I though great-uncle really liked us.
What does this signifies?
With great-uncle here, we will not be wronged.
Enough, hurry and clean up or else little "gieba" will be yelled at again.
Look at you, you don't let me call him "little gieba" but you call him that yourself.
Hey, Long Haired Girl.
What is your name?
I am called Gingyan, I am 3rd Mistress's family's maid.
Then Miss Gingyan, I can't let you wash my clothes for nothing. Help about I give you a bottle of Xiangshui (perfume)
Give me to her?
Not you
It's something that smells nice when you spray it on yourself.
No need, it is all within my duties.
No, no, I'll give it to you.
I will go to get ready.
I'll give you some for sure
Wow, when will you give me a bottle of perfume?
You change your heart fast don't you?
-Fold the clothes -Hurry and clean up your face.
Give me it! Give me it!
Give me it!
Hey! Give me it!
I am your superior, don't you need to listen to you?
You're right, of course we have to listen.
But how do you know how to cook? -How can't I cook?
I've already learnt how to start a fire so how can't I cook?
Give it too me -That is just starting a fire
You're just wasting firewood!
Sir, please, don't waste your talent. Please just go back to being a staff officer.
What wasting talent. I'd rather be a cook in the frontlines than be a useless staff officer
Give it to me -We can't even leave even if we want to
Give it to me - Sir, if the fire is not started properly
But why do you want to come to the frontlines?
then we can restart it. But if the food burns than we can't eat it anymore.
Look, we are not playing house.
The supplies are all rationed
If you kilogram is wasted,
The people in the army would have one less bowl of food to eat.
So what if it's burnt, so what if it's burnt?!
I'll give you burnt
I'm telling you to give it.
Hurry up and follow
Be alert.
Officer Gu, I'm going to the battle field.
Officer!
Officer, there is a command from the superiors.
They're sending me to the fontlines.
How is that possible. They are telling us to go to Xiangtan immediately.
I said I'm not going
This is a command from the commander.
It will not be good if you don't go.
I'm going to go find the commander. Sir, it is too late I'm afraid
It is too late to go anywhere.
What is it? The commander had already order our luggage to be sent ahead.
It is just so that we go report to Xiangtan immediately.
Great-uncle, please drink some tea. Slowly, it is hot.
Great-uncle. Please don't blame Xiangshui.
It is all our fault, who forced him to go with us.
I am not asking the reason, only the result.
So when someone commits murder and says that it is forced by others
Will it cancel their crime?
Great-uncle, I've already guaranteed Xiangshui
That if some things happens, we will be to blame. It has nothing to do with him.
If I can't do what I said I could do, how could I play with her in the future?
Yeah.
Saving face is indeed important.
But when compared to lives, it is worth nothing.
How could mountain roads be compared to city roads?
If you break your arms and legs, that's a minor thing.
If you accidentally step into a minefield by the river,
Your life would be over.
