Tonight
don't leave.
If you think the other person is good.
Then bring her here.
I'm not a modern women but..
Who?
The other woman.
I don't have anyone else.
Maybe..
Maybe she has also given birth to your child.
Maybe it's a girl.
I know you want to have a baby girl.
But I also want to give you
But I don't know why I can't get pregnant. I have no woman outside.
There is only you.
Maybe you are tired of it all.
Tired of the family.
But I..
What are you think?
You used to dote on Ping'an.
He is the last of the Xue's
If, it wasn't that you have another child
why do you hate Ping'an
after coming back.
I don't hate him. I love him.
Will you leave us?
I will not leave you guys.
I won't leave this family.
Junshan.
Go after eating.
No, I'm leaving.
Its better if you ate before going.
Eating does not take long.
Its alright, its better if I leave.
Or there will be talks about me.
Just sit for awhile.
Two beef rice noodles and two braised eggs please.
I really some business.
Brother, don't you want to know about the child.
Brother, if you don't want the child, there are many methods.
Why drive yourself crazy.
Even though his parents are deceased.
There are always other relatives.
Even if there isn't, its not hard to invent 2.
Don't give bad ideas.
I'm telling you clearly, I want the child.
But search for his relatives too.
You want the child?
Then why find the relatives? -Because I want him, we must find his relatives.
I have to make sure he is a orphan before I can raise him without care.
And if you find them?
Then return to them.
That way, if Xiangjun is sad, it will be quick.
If we raise him up.
We have more emotional ties and them the relatives come, what then?
It will kill her.
That is true.
But, where do we start?
Just find them somehow. -Here we are.
The rice noodles.
Take your time
Where did that child come from?
Go to the hospital
Right, Xiangxiang,
The Xiaohei that lives with your family came, he was asking around.
What was he asking?
He was asking the wounded soldiers from Jinpen.
It think it was about the child.
Xiangxiang.
Xiaohei.
Come with me.
What were you doing so furtively?
Nothing, I'm just to see my wounded comrades.
Did brother-in-law told you to come?
How is that possible, no.
Does granny know
that you are helping him do his dirty works?
It is brother Xu who asked me to do it.
He want you to find Maoamo's relatives.
Then give Maomao away right? - We are trying to find the relatives but
But - Chen Xiaohei, when were we ever bad to you?
You have to have some morals.
Brother doesn't mean it that way.
What do you think he mean?
He went to the hospital to ask about Maomao.
Have you thought about it?
Why does he want to know?
He knows that Maomao's father is a soldier,
he want to find his relatives.
It is not that Xiaohei knows.
It is not that Xiaohei wants to find them.
It is brother-in-law.
Xiaohei wouldn't care about things like this.
What does brother-in-law want?
He doesn't want Maomao to be Ping'an.
He want to send Maomao back.
He doesn't think that Maomao is pitiful.
Then he have to think about how sister would live without Ping'an.
Be quite, do you want sister to hear?
He killed Ping'an.
Caused sister to be infertile.
caused I don't have a nephew.
He think he can just blame the Japanese?
It was all caused by the Japanese.
He wants to divorce.
Stuff those words down. Don't say them again.
Say, even though Xiaohei followed Junshan
and learned many bad habits,
but he is pretty good towards our family.
I don't think he will do what Xiangxiang says he is doing.
I've asked around too.
Xiaohei has been running around.
He has been trying to earn a place for himself.
Enough,
those words, only you would believe.
It's better if we make plans.
Don't wait until the blade come down and it is too late to cry.
What can we do?
If Junshan want to send the child away,
it will kill Xiangjun.
Really, Junshan too.
He is usually pretty cooperative.
Why is he so hanged on about this.
A child from an unknown background.
Which man would just let it go.
Such words, what do you mean "unknown"
Junshan always listen to Xiangjun.
But why can't he just just let this go?
Why do I go and talk with him?
What are you going to ask him?
If he can or cannot recognize this child
it is his own decision. Your last name is not Xue.
No matter what you say now,
it is all just forcing him to make a decision. -We can't just do nothing right?
And just wait for him
to find Maomao's relatives and send him away?
Then what are you going to do. Just refuse to give him back?
For Maomao, it is best for him to live with his relatives.
Why are these kids' lives so hard.
Junshan is the last son of his family.
Xiangjun can't give birth anymore either.
If he is really determined,
and married another women or
send our whole family away
there is nothing we can do.
-Xiaohei. -Captain.
Where is he? -Captain.
This is who you are trying to find?
Brother,
do you know him?
Captain Xue, hello.
Really,
didn't you try to arrest me at Pengu hospital?
Securities captain right? No, Police Captain.
I've long since stopped working at the army police.
I went to the frontlines.
I came to you today
not to talk about the past
I heard that Jianjian from the Zhang family
is at your family.
Jianjian, who is Jianjian? -Our team leader calls his son Jianjian.
because their family is cantonese.
How could the child be cantonese.
He is speaking the Hunan dialects. Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?
No, no, there is no mistake. I recognize him.
Our team leader was always at Changsha.
His wife died when giving birth to him.
He had not remarried.
He cared for Jianjian. Their maid
calls him Maomao.
Right, Maomao.
Right, the child is called Maomao.
Then, this brother says that
Captain Xue is trying to find his relatives.
How are you related to him?
After team leader died.
He has no other relatives.
I can raise him.
Then you are not his relative.
Yes.
Here sit.
With your state right now, you can't even look after yourself.
You take the child, he'll starve, then how will you face your team leader.
How about this,
I'll take him and take care of him for you. You can visit whenever you want.
Don't worry, I will treat him well.
Don't worry.
What Maomao, Jianjian. It sounds bad. Name change.
From now on, he will be called
Ping'an, how about it? -Good.
Ping'an is good.
Brother-in-law came back.
Where is he?
He says he is going to see Ping'an.
See Ping'an?
Yes, Ping'an.
Ping'an.
How are you?
Mommy and daddy miss you.
There is no one to look after you over there either. You have to look after yourself.
Be like daddy and make friends.
What? No, no, no. Daddy is not a hero.
Ask mommy, She will never say that daddy is a hero
Daddy has made too many mistakes.
God bless
My sins has fell to you.
Daddy is not crying. Don't cry.
Don't worry about mommy and daddy.
You know daddy,
really love mommy.
I'll be your son in the next life.
We'll be together.
Living well.
You know what daddy wants to talk to you about right?
Right, Ping'an, you will have a younger brother.
We'll call him Ping'an too. No.
No. No. Mommy and daddy love you, It is not like that.
You would agree.
Daddy knows you would agree.
It is alright, daddy will not cry.
Ping'an don't cry either.
Bye bye aunty.
Maomao, bye bye, Go in, find mommy.
Be good.
Hu Xiangxiang?
You are?
You don't know me but I know you.
How about tea with me?
You're last name is Gu right?
Is there still Biluochun tea to drink these days?
You can drink whatever you want.
Let's go.
This way please.
Father, Miss Hu is here.
- Please sit. - Thank you.
Sit.
Yes.
Thank you.
Uncle, hello.
My name is Hu Xiangxiang.
Before,
I should not have asked Xu Quan to find a bride for him.
Ironically..
Before,
I wanted to leave Changsha.
But he stayed for you.
He is staying to fight against the Japanese.
Where is there no Japanese?
He does not go to Guilin,
or Guangzhou but stays in Changsha, isn't it for you?
Uncle, you are mistaken.
Just like when he first came to Changsha
it was not or me. Now he insists on remaining here
is not for me either.
Children wants to fight.
I let him fought a few.
Then what?
We all know.
Changsha
will not stay peaceful like this.
If he remains this way
one day,
he will lose his life here.
Young lady, today I asked you to come today
is hoping that you will persuade him.
To go back to Chongqing.
Mr. Gu, I am afraid
I cannot do anything in this matter.
I just have this one son.
I don't want him to lose his life here.
You are the only one who can help me.
You understand him better than me.
Qingming has very strong ideas.
It is not something I can change.
If you are not able to do even this
Then why must you marry into our Gu family.
Mr. Gu
Qingming and I
are not who controls who, but
it is mutual support
mutually understand.
If he refuses
then I must use force.
If you must do that
then it will really harden his heart.
Then go and persuade him.
Uncle,
This matter...
I'm afraid there is nothing I can do.
Do you want to be a widow this badly?
I respect his every decision.
And I will accept all conclusion.
Not matter what the conclusion is.
I can see
I will not listen to me.
You are my elder
of course I have to listen to you.
But, other than this matter.
Mr. Gu, if you have no other matter,
then I will be taking my leave now. There are still matters at the hospital.
Good day.
Wait.
How is Shaohuan (Qingming) these days.
Don't worry, he is very well.
I heard a lot about your family.
I thank you family for caring for him.
Gu Qingming.
You didn't go in even thought you came.
I believe you can deal with it.
If you believe I can deal with it then why did you come?
But I was afraid you couldn't.
You house is pretty cold.
This is not my house, this is a friend's.
My family has already fallen to the enemy.
You will get it back.
We will definitely.
Let's go.
Sister, well go and eat sometime.
Bye bye sister.
Let's go.
Brother Xiao Hei is so influential
Every time the rice store always gives us 5g more of rice.
Give the money for the extra 5g of rice back to them in the afternoon.
What if they don't take it?
Put it there and run.
We are buying rice, we don't want to owe them anything.
Xiaoman.
Isn't that brother Xiangping?
Xiangping.
You got the wrong person.
As if.
I'll recognize you if you were burnt to a crisp. What, visiting us?
Don't interfere with me.
What did you do, tell me.
Xiaoman.
I'm warning you.
Don't tell anyone you saw me.
Or else we are no longer brothers.
Who wants to be brothers with you?
You're just going to let him leave like this?
Of course not.
He must be having some trouble.
We'll follow him discretely.
We'll see were he's staying at and help him.
Don't tell our family about this for now
We'll assess the situation first.
I'll listen to you.
Granny, open the door.
Granny.
I'm coming. -Xiaoman
Great-uncle. Brother Xiaoqiu
Xiaoman. - Why are you here?
Xiaoman, have you bought the rice ba-
Granny, great-uncle is here.
10th grandmother.
Who came?
Uncle.
Come come.
Uncle, please come in.
Xiaoqiu, come in -Uncle.
Come in.
Come
You must have had a hard journey.
Uncle Changning.
Come in.
I cannot believe.
That your house is so nice.
No wonder the twins would not stay with me.
Great-uncle.
Back then we offended you in Xiangtan and then left without saying goodbye.
I'm feel really bad when I think about it.
You must have been so worried.
You too were just too unschooled.
Don't blame the children.
Children have their own aspirations.
No, it was me
who couldn't look after them.
What aspirations can they have? They just like to play.
Great-uncle.
You came.
This is my eldest daughter, Xiangjun.
Grandfather.
This child grew well.
How old are you?
5 years old.
Speak louder. How old?
5 years old.
So cute.
Your family is much better.
Everyone stayed in the family.
It is not like the countryside at Xiangtan.
Like the falling leaves.
There are not many people behind.
Uncle, please come inside.
Tenth brother. Changkong.
I'm paying you respect.
Please hold your anger.
In a few years.
I'll apologize to you in person.
Great-uncle...
Xiaoman.
It was not easy for 10th Grandmother to take care of the whole family.
You must listen to her carefully.
I will.
About what I said about taking over the family business,
it should not be taken as a joke.
I understand.
We live at the hotel,
called Yunali, near the train station.
Please come and visit.
Uncle, please eat before you leave.
No need.
Let's go
When Xiangxiang and Xiaoman went back,
you took care of them carefully.
So how can we let you guys to live in a hotel?
Older brother,
I have something to talk to you about.
When Xiangning and Xiangshui left us,
they were still wearing a single layer of clothing.
I want to make for them down jackets and pants.
In a newer style.
Something the children would like.
In the afterlife,
they would have more pride.
You are still the person who thinks things through.
I can't be their grandmother for nothing.
If I don't give them something,
I always
feel bad.
Your words are too polite.
we are all in the same family.
One family.
If you didn't have some special circumstances,
you would not have came here yourself either.
If you have something to say,
please just say it straight.
10th grandmother,
to tell you the truth,
I am here for Xiangping.
You must know.
The younger generation only include Xiangping and Xiaoman.
Xiangping went to Kunming to join the army. I took great effort to get him to come back to get married.
But who could have thought he ran away after a few days.
Then go get him back.
What are all the kids thinking?
Do they think that the people
who died in the Hu family is not enough?
I've already searched.
He planned to go directly from Xiangtan to Kunmin.
But who could have thought that the rail from Guilin is severed by the Japanese.
So he had to stop at Changsha to find another way.
So I had to come here.
Your grandson
is my grandson too.
I will not sit and do nothing.
But 10th Grandmother,
I have to go to the hotel.
If Xiangping comes,
you must keep him.
I, Huo Bingquan, will thank you from the bottom of my heart.
What,
you must go back to the hotel?
No, please don't misunderstand.
I have no other way.
Either we wait
or we go door by door to search.
Or...
I'll ask my grandson-in-law
for help.
No need.
Changsha is not like before.
There are only a few hotels.
It will not take a day to finish searching.
10th grandmother,
look after your health.
Xiaoqiu,
Let's go.
Brother Xiangping
Brother Xiangping.
Who is this? -It's Xiuxiu
When Xiaoman was chasing after you today, I was there too.
I live with them, I'm their cousin.
How do you know I'm here.
Xiaoman followed you the other day.
He was afraid that you will not be eating well so told me to make some food for you.
Right,
this money is for you to get to Kunming.
How do you know I am going to Kunming?
Great-uncle as gone to your house?
Let me go.
I didn't tell them.
Come back to Xiangtan. -Great-uncle, I cannot
I only have 30 days of leave. If I don't go back,
they will shoot me as a defector. I cannot go.
Then let them come to Xiantan.
Great-uncle. -Tie him up.
Great-uncle.
You cannot force me to go back. They will shoot me.
I will be shot.
Captain, help me.
Save me Officer
Officer, save me.
Save me.
What is going on?
I am Kunming Jianqiao Aviation Academy's pilot.
Let him go.
What are you doing?
I should be asking you that.
He is my grandson.
That is true officer. -Take them away -Wait!
Take them away!
Bring those two away too.
What are you doing? -Let go.
Not filial!
When your mother gave birth to you,
I should not have added to the Hu family tree.
Now you are trying to anger me to death.
I've just spoke to Kunming.
They validated what Hu Xiangping said.
He really is a pilot.
He is the pilot trained by Instructor Ouyang
While training he shot down two enemy planes.
He will soon be a certified pilot.
Elder, your grandson is a genius.
Don't talk about those useless things.
He is the family's only son.
From what I know,
only sons don't need to go to the frontlines.
Is this not right?
It is true but his skills are superb.
Also, we have limited numbers in the air force.
Also, the is not easy for the government to spend so much money to train a pilot.
Do you know how in need we are for pilots?
Look at the Japanese.
Their air force is bigger than us by ten folds.
This is why, you must not keep him back.
The Japanese killed my brothers
I must kill them all.
Elder, please.
Our family, to kill Japanese,
have already sacrificed so many children. Is it not enough?
Must we be killed completely?
I will not go back.
You brat.
Send Hu Xiangping to the army hotel.
Then send him to Kunming.
I want to see who dares to steal pilots from the army barracks.
Great-uncle.
Be safe.
Great-great uncle.
Great-great uncle. Great uncle has come back.
Great grandmother, Great uncle has come back.
Xiaohei has many connections.
Ask him to find someone to go in Xiangping's place.
How about that? - That is impossible.
If it was the army then it might be possible.
Xiangping went to the central aviation academy.
He is registered pilot, you can't just take his place.
What do we do?
The problem is that Xianping himself
wants to go to Kunming.
Don't you guys think
that you should respect his decision?
Don't you understand?
Great-uncle has even kneel down begging. Who do you think we should respect?
Qingming.
Granny knows that it is difficult for you.
But please just help us.
He has been king-like at Xiangtan for his whole life
In old age,
must suffer through something like this.
Qingming.
Staff Officer Gu, the Chief of staff is asking you to go in.
Alright.
I understand.
Oh, it's Staff Officer Gu.
Ouyang, you talk to him.
Hello, I am Gu Qingming.
Young master Gu.
Isn't Hu Xiangping someone strongly recommended by your family?
Why,
you guys changed your mind?
I am also asked by someone.
Instructor Ouyang,
Hu Xiangping has said that
you are his best instructor.
He is already an air force officer.
To fire an officer is not something I can do on my own.
Also, he is my best student.
I cannot bare
and I don't approve of what you guys are doing to him.
Mixing the public with the private
I cannot help you.
Shaohuan,
Ouyang is just like that,
I have no method either
to help you in this situation.
