Good Times
Episode 17
You don't have to come out, I'll come back soon.
Come, whenever.
I know. It must have been tiring today. Sleep early.
Go on then.
You must bring Bingbing home, okay?
Uncle, head back in.
Darling,
why didn't I see your mom today?
You never talk to me about her.
She's not in Shanghai.
-Then where is she? -Perhaps in Dalian.
-Why is she in Dalian? -I don't know.
Are your parents divorced then?
Yes, from the time that I can remember, I have only seen her twice.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought this up.
-Don't be mad. -I'm not mad.
I knew you were going to ask sometime.
As long as your happy, everything is fine.
I have to bring you home.
You don't have to. How can I let your dad stay home alone?
Keep him company.
I've been with him for thirty years. What's one day?
- This is different.- How is this different?
You have just told me about your family history.
I can feel that your dad is very important to you.
I don't want you to neglect him because of me.
You must always put your dad as number one in your heart.
From now onwards, I will be filial to him with you.
Be good and go home now.
I will always listen to what you say.
Go back.
Be careful when you are on the road.
- Bye bye. - Bye bye.
My stomach is a bit big.
Aren't you hot putting that on?
The belt seems a bit tight...
I am relying on this belt,
to help me lose weight from tomorrow onward.
Didn't I ask you to send her home? Why are you bacck so fast?
I have said it.
But she didn't want me to leave you alone at home.
What a rare girl!
What's good about her?
She looks pleasant.
Let me tell you. A pleasant looking girl,
I like.
She is cute and knows how to sweet talk.
Also she is well brought up.
When she saw me clearing the dishes, she came in to help.
The way she behaves doesn't seem to be put on.
You are great. In just a short time you can see all her goodness.
As though you have done an x-ray on her.
It is safe to say that as long as a girl is close to me,
you find them all pleasant looking?
What good is it if I see her as pleasant looking?
If you find her pleasant looking, you should seriously consider marriage.
I want to see my grandkids...
Here you go again...
I've only known her for a few days and you are rushing me to get married.
After all you are already in your thirties.
It is natural to get married and have kids.
Don't make the same mistake that you did with Shanshan. All these delays and you ended up breaking up.
Ok, don't worry.
This time will be different.
Once you settled this, make sure to tell me as I will then tell your mother.
Why do you need to inform her?
The son is getting a wife, why shouldn't I tell his mother?
If I do marry Bingbing, you are not to invite her to our wedding.
A father is enough for me.
You don't know how much his father likes me. This is the truth!
He didn't stop smiling from the time I stepped into the house.
He just seemed a bit petty that he would only gift me this fabric that he said he saved for 10 years.
Don't you think that this is a waste as I don't know how to appreciate fabric.
He said that this is a gift just for me.
Why can't I see what is good about this fabric?
You are treating this pearl as mud, you really don't know how to appreciate a good thing.
You can tell that this is really expensive with just one look.
Or else, his dad wouldn't be giving this to you at the first meeting.
Sister, how can this be more expensive than my branded bags?
Uneducated!
But what can I do with this gift?
Make a dress? With this pattern,
even if you give it to my grandma, she wouldn't like it either.
This is the truth!
How about I give it to you?
Really, give it to your parents. I am sure that they can find some use for it.
Bingbing, this is a welcome gift from Yuan Hao's dad.
How can you re-gift it so easily?
What is wrong with it?
Even if it is good, if I don't use it, it is a waste. Since you think it is good, I would rather you use it.
No need to be polite with me.
This is not an issue of whether you can use it or not.
This is the father's intention. This is priceless...
In this case, why don't you keep it for me first?
You are a careful person, better to keep it with you or else I will lose it.
Let me tell you, if you really don't like it, it is up to you to re-gift it.
But I don't want it.
It is fine if you don't want it.
What are you looking at?
I am doing some research, don't disturb me.
Expensive?
Go and do your own things.
To tell you the truth, their house is actually quite good.
Such an old house in Shanghai,
it is very well preserved.
How much do you think the house is worth?
This is the first time that you have gone to the house and you are already calculating the value?
How can this be calculating?
Yuan Hao is definitely the man that I want to marry.
I have to consider these questions.
Once Yuan Hao re-opens his company and we get married,
I will have a base in Shanghai.
I am right about this guy.
Do you love Yuan Hao or his money?
Of course both!
When I first liked him, I didn't know about his family background.
On top of that, which woman will look down on a husband that earns well?
As your good friend, I want to advise you to manage this relationship well.
You can't talk about a man in terms of a car, money and a house.
I know about this. Don't be a busy body.
Are you secretly in love with my boyfriend? Why are you always thinking on his behalf?
Don't joke around! What are you saying?
Ok, next time you come home,
don't tell me things about you and Yuan Hao. I don't want to listen to it or interfere in it.
I was just joking with you!
Do you know that his dad was divorced?
No, I don't. What is up with this now?
I feel sorry for Yuan Hao.
I can pay you but you must pay for my car, too.
You were the one that hit my car, why should I pay you?
- You hit me first. - Why did you follow me?
Arrghhh, the fire crackers are too close.
They are all going off!
This, this, this...
You were really not like a guy just now.
Even if you look like a guy, you behave like a boy.
You don't have to pay me money for the repair of my car.
We have settled with each other.
I am returning you the money for my car.
Let me introduce you to Mao Xiaochun.
How are you, Mao Xiaochun?
I, too, didn't realise that the boyfriend Bingbing talked about was you.
This can't be true, are you serious?
Aren't you my buddy? From now onwards, I won't let anyone bully you.
Have you heard what I said?
If I gained such a reliable buddy from the harm that I have suffered,
I think that it is worth it.
- Mom! - Yiyang.
Come, give it to me.
Let me hug you, son.
Let me have a look.
You have lost weight! Why?
Didn't I tell you that I was losing weight?
Let's go.
Did you miss me?
Yes, my son has been here for so long...
As a mother, I should visit you.
Following your youngsters style, just go when you feel like it.
So the destination is the home of my son!
I think that you are not talking about me the son!
Why does this sound like an accusation?
Don't you think that I know the way you think?
Just that you have disrupted my schedule by turning up like this.
What plan?
Why do you bring me so many things? I'm already happy that you are visiting me.
Hot!
So how have you been? Busy?
Not busy, I have resigned.
Was this because of me?
No, no, it has nothing to do with you.
I just don't want to work for others and put up with their nonsense.
I want to be my own boss and I am still in tourism. If you want to tour, tell me and I will organise it for you.
- I won't charge. - How can you do this!
Why not?
Why can't I organise a holiday for my auntie?
Or else, how can I face Shanshan?
Have you spoken to Shanshan?
We don't call each other. We email each other.
Have you emailed?
Yes, she told me that she changed to another company.
Nothing else?
What else?
I think she was embarrassed to tell you.
She has a boyfriend. He is a Chinese dentist.
That's good. I need to congratulate her.
How about you?
I have a girlfriend, too.
That's good.
Not Mao Xiaochun, right?
No, we are good friends.
My girlfriend is a dance teacher.
No wonder you look so happy.
I don't dance. What has it got to do with her as a dance teacher?
I dance.
Ok, why don't I get her over to teach you to dance?
No.
Who will introduce your girlfriend to your ex-girlfriend's mother?
What is wrong with this? Your thinking is too old.
My girlfriend is very good. Simple and well brought up. She won't over think this.
That's good. Introduce her to me and I will judge her for you.
OK. OK. OK.
Auntie, if you are free, please visit my dad.
Don't hibernate here.
The last time I invited you and your dad over but he didn't come either.
I am too embarrassed to go over.
Sorry, I forgot about this.
If you want to date my dad, you can call him yourself.
Oh my god.
Mom, there are too many dishes, can we finish them all?
This is necessary. I know that you being alone in Shanghai,
won't look after yourself well.
Since I am here, I will prepare it all for you.
What can I say. Children with a mother like you will have exploded stomachs!
Let's eat.
OK.
You were fine in your old job, why did you end up working in the cafe?
My brother came out so why should I stay on?
Isn't he already a vice-president?
Isn't he satisfied?
He was going to become the President but
he was set up and didn't get the promotion.
He has to change his temper...
So what is he doing now?
He's busy finding a space to set up his new company, busy with his love live and getting married.
Whoa...
Is this girl good?
I don't think she is as good as Shanshan.
As long as your brother likes her, that's enough.
Mom,
you can't stop talking about my brother. Are you still denying that you are here because of him?
Look at you! You are also my son!
You see, because of me you are living and working in this city.
It's hard on you...
I am trying to help them cultivate their relationship...
Mom, I want to ask you a question...
Why did you leave in the past? Did you have a bad relationship with uncle?
That time, I was too young.
I was not willing to be a small staff.
Everyday after work, I had to look after my son.
I felt that the future should be limitless.
Your dad appeared at that time.
He was out-posted to our factory.
Your dad was charming,
talented and well spoken.
After knowing him, I couldn't help
but fall in love with him.
This is too much!!
Did you hear this dad?
Mom is praising you!
Enough! Have your breakfast.
Have a prawn.
Since you like it, have more.
Thanks, Mom.
How is your search for office space?
I haven't found a suitable one.
Either the location is not good or the rent is too high.
Or else I find it too boring.
Sigh, my star sign,
my agents are getting frustrated with me.
Are you sure that you are not being too fussy?
Do you find me fussy?
To say it in a nice way, you are a perfectionist.
But the truth is, you are fussy.
You don't have to rush, take your time.
Looking for office space is like looking for a girlfriend.
It needs some amount of luck and fate.
No wonder I can't find my office,
Why?
All my good luck is here with you!
You are such a sweet talker!
Quickly, think of a new name for my company!
Ah?
Ask Me.
Huh?
Don't Forget Me.
Think again...
On The Road.
On The Road… others?
Anything better?
Holiday...
Holiday Around The World.
I am giving you one last chance...
You are really fussy!!!
I only have these.
You are making this really hard on me.
Aren't you an artist?
Don't you get a lot of inspiration?
But I am a dancer.
I am not an expert on name giving.
OK, I'll let you off.
Let me think again, ok?
Tang, Tang, Tang.
Why don't you have a birthday party?
How did you know?
As my boyfriend, why shouldn't I know this?
This is the first birthday that you are having after knowing me.
I have to plan it well for you.
I only had one method of celebration in the past.
To stay at home and eat longevity noodle cooked by my dad.
Then can Dad cook an additional bowl this year?
Of course!
My dad's noodles are much better than this.
Thinking about the past,
I was too cruel.
I left Yuan Hao and his dad and
followed your dad to Dalian.
After that, we left for the States.
Your dad gave me the life that I wanted.
But doing this,
I have destroyed Yuan Hao's life.
It is only natural that he hates me.
I can understand.
I am not a good mother.
Sometimes, I see you beside me,
eating, sleeping, playing,
even throwing a tantrum,
I always will think of him.
Mom, stop being sad.
Don't say that you are not a good mom.
I am getting closer to my brother now.
And his dad likes me, too.
I think that it will be soon when you can see each other.
Hey, Mom.
Mom, why are you crying?
Don't cry!
My brother is about to have his birthday.
I have organised for you two to meet on his birthday.
I think you should celebrate with him.
I don't think I should go.
Why?
I...
If I appear suddenly in front of him on his birthday,
I am afraid that it might be awkward.
I am also afraid of spoiling his good mood.
Then I will feel guilty.
Mom, don't over consider things.
You are his mother.
Actually, I did look for him twice before.
The first time was when he got into the University.
Yuan Hao's dad was really happy to tell me this.
But I didn't have the courage to send him off.
I remember that I was secretly following them into the school compound.
Looking at him from afar.
He had grown so tall,
so handsome. If he was walking in the street,
I wouldn't recognise him as my son.
How about the second time?
Yuan Hao, thanks for agreeing to see me.
Not a problem.
I heard from dad that your girlfriend is going to study overseas.
Would you like to go?
If yes, I could arrange everything for you.
Of course, if you don't want to go there to study, it is fine, too.
I can help you migrate.
If you can't bear to leave your dad,
I can also help him migrate over.
Is the States that great?
Why should everyone go to the States?
For the sake of going to the States, you can ditch the family?
No, I don't mean this.
I am not insisting that you have to go to the States,
I just want to do something for you.
Too late.
Whatever you do, it is too late.
I don't need you to compensate or to pity me.
Please don't look for me anymore.
Mom, I finally understand you.
I also know why you didn't want me to come to Shanghai to look for my brother.
But to me, even though you were in the wrong in the past,
it is a bit harsh of him to treat you like this.
The more he is like this,
the more I want him to meet you to reconcile the mother-son relationship.
You are really considerate.
Mom, you are always the prettiest and happiest mother to me.
But I just can't be happy.
Why do you say this?
A person has to pay back eventually.
I lost a son because of vanity.
This is the punishment from heaven that I deserve.
I am a bad woman.
Hey, Mom, I don't like to listen to this.
Even though you did wrong in the past, if you didn't commit that wrong, I wouldn't be here.
Didn't you say that you will have to pay eventually?
Then just let me pay back on your behalf, OK?
I will make him acknowledge you.
Thanks, son!
You look so handsome!
What's up?
You don't look any worse than the male leads in Korean dramas!
Do you think this is alright?
Too dressy?
I think the tie colour is too much.
I think it is all fine.
You are just not used to this.
I think you should have a few more colours in your selection.
See the red tie matching the blue suit.
These are contrast colours which are very popular now.
Shall we look at others?
Once it is suitable, you should get it. Why browse again?
This is my first birthday gift to you.
Next time I hope that all your clothes in your wardrobe are all from me.
So, you should listen to me on what you should wear.
But it is my birthday so shouldn't you listen to me? Let me buy you a dress instead.
I have lots of clothes so don't buy me more, OK?
You are about to have a new company.
As the boss,
I will be very happy to see you in the office wearing a suit bought by me.
But this is too expansive.
What? I have already paid!
Huh? Why...
Mom, what are you doing?
These were all for your brother.
Every birthday of his, I would get him something...
30 years already,
I couldn't ever give him one to wear.
So what are you giving this year?
I have knitted one for him.
This is the one.
You have knitted well, Mom.
I am getting jealous as you haven't done this for me!
If you like it, I will knit one for you, too.
Forget it, it won't be better than this.
Mom, tell me the truth...
You brought so many sweaters over, are you thinking of giving them to my brother all at once?
Our environment here is very good.
Good atmosphere.
We have many birthday celebrations and wedding proposals especially from the youth.
Sir, you can book in advance if you are satisfied with this.
Then I will book now.
This week, Saturday, I want to book the whole space. Can I get a discount?
OK, I will tell my boss.
Then, I will come to decorate the place.
OK, no problem, please come and pay the deposit first.
OK.
Yuan Hao express post!
Oh, I am coming.

What time is it now?
Hurry up and hang all these animal pictures on the wall.
Quick!
Luoyang, is it really that hard for you to hang this dog picture?
This dog is not even good looking, is there something wrong with you?
Looking at animals, you look at whether they are cute or not and not whether they are good looking or not.
Do you know this? Quickly put up the picture!
It is slanted.
Is this OK?
Whao, there is ¥200 to earn for hanging the pictures!
Prepare your money as I am hanging all these pictures.
Wishful thinking. Everyone is hungry, so go and buy some buns.
Am I the servant of your store? Why am I doing everything?
Don't forget,
you are my assistant. If you don't run errands for me, who would do them?
Go after you finish hanging the pictures.
Zhang Xueer!
Yuan Hao Ge! T/N: "-ge" is an endearing term used by females towards older males
Long time, no see. What are you doing here?
I am here on behalf of your uncle to see how you are taking care of the cafe.
Are you trying to give him a silent surprise? Have you asked him for permission in case he scolds you?
This is being modern, don't you know? You are too much of an antique!
Who is an antique?
You! Anyone above 30 years old is an antique to me.
Seriously.
My Yuan Hao Ge, I beg of you. Please don't tell him what happened until I come back.
Are you done?
I'll treat you to coffee.
Drink a coffee? This is about to turn into a zoo!
Is it hard to deal with this boss?
I don't care about this. Brother, keys please, quick!
When you get your license will be the time when I give you my keys.
So short tempered. I have something to ask you.
What is it?
Is it not your birthday this weekend?
- How do you know? - I overheard it.
You are quite sincere!
So let's have a big party and celebrate.
I haven't been to party for a long time. It's a dream of mine to hold one.
I just know that you are a party animal.
You always like to play around.
If you don't party, you can't turn into god! Can we have the party?
Zhang Xiao already said that I am an antique, I can't move!
Now, I don't want a big party. I just want to have a bowl of noodles with my dad.
Why do you listen to her? Just leave it to me. I'll take care of everything.
You are talking about procedures, can I be more low key?
See, see you look so handsome.
But your heart lives like an old man!
- How old are you? - 33.
That's great! Didn't they say that men at 33 are just at the peak!
Can't you be more energetic?
Moreover, you only get one birthday a year!
If you like I can make it a small party.
What's your plan?
It won't be fun if I tell you, but I guarantee you will be satisfied.
OK.
I feel like you are organizing the birthday party for yourself instead of me!
Have the party in the afternoon. I want to have dinner with my dad.
No problem. I'll call you when I am done... brother.
When did you become so close?
- My good brother. - Hey!
You scared me.
Zuo Tao, you rotten goods!
Do you know Wan Chi?
To make a living.
Oh my god!
Oh, it's sister-in-law. Welcome!
Sister-in-law, long time, no see!
Xueer? It's been 2 years since I last saw you. You've grown into a young lady.
- Are you done with college? - I just graduated.
Right now, I am helping uncle with his business.
What made you come here in this outfit, too!
You are a kid and can't tell fashion!
This is an old brand.
I am not like those people who try to be fashionable and wear clothes with loud logos.
Those people only want to show off their recent wealth. I am not like them. I have taste and culture.
Aren't these the sunglasses that uncle bought 5 years ago?
You still wear them?
Xueer, your uncle and I are divorced,
but I never did wrong to him.
Why are you so suspicious of me?
Where is your uncle?
My uncle is on holiday with his new girlfriend.
Do you think I'd believe that?
I know he's hiding from me.
Xueer.
Please tell me
Where did your uncle go?
Ex-auntie, you have already divorced my uncle a long while ago.
I don't think he needs to announce his movements to you anymore.
Hi, sister-in-law.
The store had just been remodeled and it's not good for the baby.
Would you like me to take you home?
That's right, as you are pregnant, you should look after yourself since you are already so old.
Stay home and be a good mother.
Don't think about hopeless things.
My uncle already has given up on marriage and will never turn back.
Goodbye.
Goodbye, sister-in-law.
She's pregnant. Why must a woman be difficult to another woman?
Do you think that my uncle will accept her?
If I am not nasty, she won't give up on my uncle.
Hey, this is called,
"Without hope, there will be no disappointment; hence, there will be no depression."
Do you understand? Go back to work!
You are so coldhearted.
Do you think that I am coldhearted? Do you think that I have tortured you?
You can always resign from here.
I just want to stay here and not leave.
So you are willing to be tortured by me?
I just want to try
to see how much I can put up with.
Huh? Huh?
