Good Time
Episode 33
Wait. I'll tuck in my shirt.
We're just having a meal.
I don't want others to misunderstand.
You think too much.
Go.
Hey.
We were just talking about you.
We've waited for quite some time.
Lady, come sit here.
- Uncle. - Sit beside me.
Does your wife agree?
I have no objection to it.
Right.
Well, the duo finally show up in pair.
That is to say, today we have three couples.
The feast formally begins.
Nonsense. We didn't show up in pair.
We just met at the door.
Yeah, I met him downstairs and went up together.
You sure?
Right.
Xiaochun, I heard you're close with Yuan Hao.
We've always been close.
As close as brothers.
You know that's not what she meant.
I'll let it out. Are you in love?
Don't cross examine her. It's childish.
Sister, you shouldn't join in them in this trick.
I'm telling the truth.
He who denies is the most childish person.
Right.
He's not denying. You know he won't worry.
Okay. Now they both deny any relationship.
Yuan Hao, you are my buddy,
and Xiaochun is your pal, right?
An announcement.
How about my introducing a boyfriend to Xiaochun?
Good.
What boyfriend?
A boyfriend is a boyfriend.
Did you care to ask Xiaochun?
Brother, why are you worried about
Tao's introducing a man to Xiaochun?
I'm not worried.
I know his friends too well to believe
he'll introduce a decent guy.
I'll tell you what,
this guy I'm gonna introduce to Xiaochun
is super handsome and a man of integrity.
Who?
Wann look at his picture?
Let me find it.
He won't let you down.
Stop laughing. What do you think?
This guy is very lovely.
Let me have a look.
Get a load of this.
- What do you think? - Perfect.
- Cool? - He's so charming.
- Will he do? - Absolutely.
Is he good?
- He is lovely indeed. - There's no harm in looking.
Brother, come have a look.
What's good about him?
- Go ahead. - She agreed.
Have a kiss.
You do think he's a good guy?
You're so tiresome.
Very well, let's do it.
Hold on a second there. We need proof.
Yeah. Evidence.
Again.
Here we go.
- Give it up. - Now, can we eat?
In a minute. Today, you're formally announcing it.
What do you have to say?
Fire away.
Say it.
I have nothing to say.
All in the booze.
Cool.
So cool.
Cross-cupped wine.
There you are.
Dating show again.
Girls in this episode are not so good.
What about boys?
Just so-so. None can rival you.
Turn it off then.
You drank.
I can see that you had a good time.
There are girls at the table, huh?
Who?
Zhu Tao's wife, Luo Yiyang's wife.
And another one.
I know. And your wife.
- Serious? - Serious.
All right. I won't ask further questions.
Go ahead.
You're drunk. I won't ask.
I'm not drunk. Fire away.
Is this one a girl you truly like?
It's not just me. You like her too.
Mao Xiaochun.
Really?
Had you listened to me earlier,
you could've saved a lot of troubles.
The rainbow only comes after the rainstorm.
You should've brought her home.
If I did, you'd force me to get a license again.
Aren't gonna get a license this time?
I must get it.
And now, you must have a drink with me.
Yuan.
Pang, what are you doing here?
Yuan, why are you still cooking?
What?
Why didn't you answer my calls?
I was cooking.
Remember we're going to Chejudo today.
Oh, I forgot it.
Fortunately, I came earlier.
It's done. Go collect your gear.
Hurry up. We got to go.
Pang, I can't go with you now.
Why not?
I need to send it to my future daughter-in-law.
Yuan Hao has a new girlfriend?
Not really a new one.
Someone you know. Mao Xiaochun.
Great!
Yuan, although I had some friction with her,
she's indeed a good girl and will make a good wife.
So, after learning it,
I'm so happy that I forget everything .
I understand.
Pang, sit down.
I was wondering, could I not go to Chejudo?
- You're not going. - No.
Fine. I'm not going either.
You're not going either?
It's not fun to go there alone.
What a pity to miss out on such a good chance!
I didn't pay for it anyway.
Tell me what I can do for you.
I don't need your help for the moment.
Xiaochun hasn't called on us formally.
You know why I'd deliver food for her?
I wanna send out a formal invitation
to my future daughter-in-law.
Good idea. Get it done soon.
Look, Shanshan is married already in the US.
You must keep a close eye on Yuan Hao.
If he delays it, god knows when he's ever gonna marry.
That's exactly what I think.
I'm looking into wedding companies.
Why do you need a wedding company?
Where else can I get help from?
Me.
I've handled all the weddings of my relatives' children.
You can do it?
If I can't, then nobody can.
Where did you get this dog?
A very pitiful stray dog.
I've named it Master.
It stinks. Did you take it to hospital?
I did. It's just a bit weak.
I wanna take it home for a few days.
You can leave it here. Why must you take it home?
The home of the two of us.
Wrong.
You forgot Caomei.
We're a family of three.
They can't be compared to Caomei.
And we already have Caomei.
Another dog would make a mess.
If it recovers, it can accompany Caomei.
You mean you're gonna take home any dog
that's not well.
You're damned full of sympathy.
You're damned cool-blooded.
The conditions of our store is good.
Why must you bring it home?
Then I'll stay the night here with it.
You're not going home because of a dog.
I'll go home if you agree.
Fine.
Here, the medicine.
Go ahead.
Good.
It's good for you.
Honey, are you gonna go to bed?
I'm feeding it medicine. You can go to bed first.
All right. Master comes before me.
I'm such a fool to agree to our bringing it home.
My dear, don't be angry with me.
Wife, the dog is lovely indeed.
It's not our kid. We should have a kid.
My mom is eager to be a grandmother.
As you say.
If so, let's do it.
Help!
Come on.
- What? - Bark.
Master.
Are you all right?
Dr. Lou, my dog has a dry nose.
May I take it to your clinic again?
Great. Thanks. On my way.
It's just a fever caused by cold. A shot should cure it.
Thank you, Dr. Lou.
Sorry to send for you while it's so late.
You're so kind to a stray dog.
I'm most willing to lend a hand.
Stop quarreling. Caomei, don't bully Master.
Sorry, I forgot to separate them. I apologize.
You needn't say sorry. You just need Master.
I'm nothing in this family.
See you.
Darling.
Darling, I'm back.
Ma'am, you came.
Where is the proprietress?
She is out for the pet-sent-to-home service.
If you're busy, just pick up the phone
and I'll send you the dog.
Wonderful. If I knew, I needn't have made the trip.
Now you know. I'll go take out your dog.
Darling, here.
Darling, I miss you so much. We'll go home.
Take care, Ma'am.
Bye.
Let's go home.
Yuan Hao, from today on, I'll be your wedding advisor.
These two ladies are my team.
Is this the groom? He is so handsome.
The groom's good look
will be a great incentive in our work.
You seem to be every trendy.
Sure. I'm a recognized trendy setter
in our old people art ensemble.
Right. She competed in China's Got Talent.
She is a a superstar in our community.
Your dad can't handle the wedding himself.
You can count on me.
Aunt, Xiaochun and I are ready to enter into wedlock.
It's only a matter of time. The date is picked.
You picked the date for my wedding?
I picked it.
I had a fortune teller pick a lucky date.
You must get ready to embrace this grand wedding.
We don't need such a big board in the room.
It's not the college entrance exam.
Marriage is the most important exam in life.
More important than entrance exam.
Dad, is this what you want?
Well, so much has happened
before you're finally with Xiaochun.
You can't delay it anymore.
You should understand I'm old.
Be more active.
Yuan Hao, Shanshan is pregnant already in the US.
Make haste.
I'm off.
You can't go.
I want you to listen to my perfect plan.
Yuan, sit over here.
Come.
Look, a wedding involves complicated preparations.
To avoid missing anything,
we'll put down whatever comes to our mind.
Today, I'll show you the performance
planned for your wedding.
Come and write it down.
See.
Talk show, singing, dancing, and Chinese operas.
A mini Spring Festival gala.
Rich, fantastic, amazing, right?
Who will perform?
Old people art ensemble.
Good, but it'll cost a lot.
Don't worry about expense.
It's free. These old performances are my friends.
They won't charge.
And at your wedding, I, along with these two ladies,
will sing a song for you.
What song?
My Family.
I play the dad. I play the mom. I play the kid.
We wish Xiaochun and you a happy marriage.
They've planned it so well.
You should thank them.
Pang, sit down.
I'll get you some fruits.
Okay. Sit.
What do you think?
Good.
Right.
I apprecite that,
but I think such a wedding
is more fit for people in your age.
You mean I should arrange my wedding
with your dad at the same time.
But I'm not mentally prepared.
It hurts more.
Aunt Pang talked about her plan for the whole afternoon.
And you rolled your eyes until your eyes ached.
No, it's just my eyelash rolled in.
Dear Yuan, here.
Are you in my eyes?
Yeah.
I'll crush you.
Come and I'll crush you.
Are you in my eyes?
No.
Where are you?
I'm in your heart.
If you talk so well, why didn't you attend the meeting?
I wasn't invited.
You know what, I was schooled by three ladies.
Why did your dad say?
He was over the moon.
And why did your dad say
when you first told him you're with me?
He was moved to tears.
What does he think of me?
Love at first sight.
What does he like me about?
Is it me or my dad who's marrying you?
You have to listen to your dad.
When are you going to let me see your dad?
It depends on if you're ready.
I got the present.
So, you've planned it.
And you're experienced.
You have brought home so many girlfriends.
And you just won't bring me home.
You must have little love in me.
The eyelash.
You deserve it.
With the ingredients you added.
When have you become so feminine
as to stick out your finger?
I just wanna be gentle in front of you.
Gross.
Ms Ma, why are you here?
Boy, I couldn't imagine you're so cruel.
Ma'am, what do you mean?
You beat my darling.
I didn't.
Such a big swelling on the neck.
It's swollen.
I didn't discover earlier as it's hidden under the hair.
It must be you.
I warn you, don't shift the blame on me.
Luo Yiyang, shut up. Miss Ma is a customer.
Miss Ma, there might be a misunderstanding.
I personally attend all the dogs,
but I'm not aware of any violence.
You weren't here when I came in the afternoon.
So you didn't see him strike my darling.
- You're unreasonable. - Shut your yap.
Ms Ma, I apologize.
And I'll give you a VIP card
and take your dog to hospital for a checkup.
Are you doing business or charity? I didn't strike her dog.
Do you any proof that I struck it?
I have no proof,
but my dog was good before it came here.
Now, it's wounded.
If you deny it, I'll go to police.
Are you threatening me?
Sorry. Ms Ma, I'll accompany you to hospital.
Go.
You shall not go.
Why are you shouting at me? It's your fault.
My fault?
You also think I struck her dog?
No matter what,
we can't afford to let our reputation suffer.
Customers are the god.
I'm telling you this, obviously she's blackmailing us.
If you dare go to hospital with her, I'll quit.
As you please.
Get me a drink.
This is a coffee shop, not a bar.
Please.
Boss, look at him.
Leave it to me.
Why did you ask me here?
Don't you know your aunt can't separate with me
for a moment in pregnancy?
Uncle, as my brother is not here,
you're the only one I can turn to.
I'll stay the night.
Did you have a quarrel?
Bullied and tormented by my naughty niece?
Driven out to the streets.
I'm in a mess. Stop teasing me.
Xue'er called me to say you beat a dog.
Uncle, do you believe it?
I'm running a pet shop. How would I beat a dog?
She'd rather believe a stranger than her husband.
I didn't witness it.
So, I can't tell if you indeed beat the dog.
Uncle, don't you trust me?
I admit I like fooling around, but I'm such a bastard.
All right. I believe in you.
I'll take care of it.
Fine. Uncle, I'll wait here.
You're not going home?
No.
I'll tell you what,
you mustn't let a family dispute lasts overnight.
She's entitled to drive you away,
but you're not entitled to stay outside.
You heard it?
Do you want me to come out or not?
What do you mean?
The mouse is afraid of the cat.
You're my boyfriend. Good for you to be in awe of me.
For my dad?
Lovely?
Why two fish?
I'm a cat. I love fish.
My favorite. Precious gift?
It's not the real cause.
What's the cause?
You want to exchange the fish for my dad's mouse.
Dad, Xiaochun came.
You came.
Mr. Yuan, you're gorgeous today.
Still calling me Mr. Yuan?
- Call him dad. - What?
Fine. She's not married to our family yet.
You can call me uncle.
- Hi, Uncle. - Hi.
No. I object.
What?
My dad dressed up today.
He locked himself in his room to change since morning
in order to meet his future daughter.
You can't call her uncle.
Right. Uncle looks stunning today. What about you?
So, you won't call him dad just because I dress down.
Fine. Your mom called and asked me to dress formally
when meeting with my daughter-in-law.
You told her?
Told her a week ago.
She was over the moon.
Uncle, this is a present for you.
I wish you well.
Thanks.
I hope you like it.
Much appreciated, Dr. Mao.
Still call her Dr. Mao?
Oh, I should also change.
Sure.
Well, I'll call you Xiaochun.
As you like.
Thank you, Xiaochun.
I wanted to go down Chongming
to call on your parents and biological mother
and formally bring up the marriage.
No need to. My parents will come down tomorrow.
They'll drop by.
No.
It's the protocol for the groom's parents
to call on the bride's.
It's 21 century. There's no more protocols.
Her parents are coming tomorrow.
Have a dinner meeting. That's it.
Well...Will it do, Xiaochun?
Of course. It doesn't matter where you meet.
Fine. As long as your marriage can be put on the agenda,
I won't bother about protocols.
Okay.
Here.
I thought you quit.
I've been taking care of this puppy. I wanna see it.
Are you still vexed at me?
I won't be vexed at a woman.
We can talk.
You can never be wrong.
Ma'am.
Ms Ma.
Hello.
Ms Ma, we apologized and compensated you.
We owe you nothing.
Actually, I wanna say sorry to you.
I found out my darling got injured
while my husband walked it.
It's not your doing.
I'm wronged to have wronged you.
Oh, here is the medical fee.
And VIP card.
Ms Ma, I should also apologize.
I'm sorry for my bad humor.
Ms Ma, we'll take the money, but please keep the card.
We're friends now.
You can recommend our shop to your friends.
In fact, I already posted a puff piece for you.
Thank you, Ms Ma.
Not at all. So long.
See you.
Now you know the truth.
My dear, I apologize. I shouldn't have blamed you.
It's nothing.
But she spoke very highly of me.
Yeah. Were it not for you, there would've been a riot.
You did it right.
Cheers!
Let me freshen your drink.
I can do it myself.
From now on, we'll be one family.
You said it. Xiaochun's biological mom is in sanitarium.
She was very excited to learn about the marriage.
But as she hasn't recovered, she couldn't make it.
So, we'll represent her in this meeting.
No problem.
I'll go visit her in the sanitarium.
She must be very happy.
Thank you for raising such a good son.
Xiaochun is so lucky.
Since Yuan Hao played Xiaochun's boyfriend,
we took a liking to him.
I didn't know this.
Later, when we discovered he was a fake,
we were mad at him.
Don't let's talk about this thing.
I'm so glad they are really getting married.
It's fate, isn't it?
As you mentions fate,
actually I used to be Xiaochun's patient.
At that time, I was thinking
how I wish she could marry into our family.
You got it.
Mr and Mrs Mao.
This is a cash gift.
Password, 1111111.
Mr. Yuan, you're so sweet, but we can't take it.
Listen.
We'll be content as long as our children will be happy.
It's the protocol. You must take it.
Do take it.
Well, thank you.
I'm wondering how'd it go with them?
What are you worried about?
Our dads both like drinking.
When they drink, all will be settled.
You have a point.
When did your dad say when I left your family?
He was very pleased with you.
I was so worried that I didn't sleep well last night.
My chum told me
the first meeting with parents should be very formal.
I was supposed to put my legs together
and not speak too loud.
Did I lack gravitas?
No, you were being yourself.
As I has known your dad for a long time,
and he's been very kind to me, just like father,
so I assumed I needn't bother about protocol.
You don't blame me, do you?
It just occurred to me
my dad seemed a bit unusual yesterday.
I've never seem him dressed so formally at home.
It greives me to think
that he didn't remarry for the sake of me.
Yet, his life goal is to find a good wife for me.
You got a good wife already.
We'll treat him well.
How?
It wasn't easy for our parents to raise us.
I don't wanna make our wedding a burden to them.
Let's make it simple, okay?
As you say.
Yuan, we'll give our daughter a grand wedding.
Nay, two weddings.
One in Chongming, one in Shanghai,
No problem. I'm working on it.
My family will make all the preparations for the wedding.
All the cost is on us.
No, we should pay for the wedding in Chongming.
We must.
No, listen, you spent much effort in raising Xiaochun.
Now she's marrying into our family.
What do you want for the wedding in Chongming?
I'll put up the money.
It's a hefty sum.
We're one big family now.
Fine. As you say.
How would you like the wedding to be?
- Feasts. - Okay. How many tables?
- Around 50. - No. Around 70.
Is it 50 or 70?
- Well, let's say 80. - Better be well prepared.
Yeah.
We'll get the foods and drinks.
Hire a cook.
Invite all friends and relatives and feast for two days.
What about venue?
Don't worry about this.
We can throw the feast in the elementary school
where I taught before.
On the playground.
Jolly.
That saves the cost of venue.
It seems to be a very economical wedding.
Right.
A wedding should be as grand and sumptuous
as it can be.
