The First Half of My Life
Episode 17
Ping'er, come have dinner. The food is about to go cold.
Can I eat in my room?
Fine, only this time though. There is no next time.
Okay!
Mommy is the world's best mom! May you live long and well!
Do you want me to give you a little more meat?
Floating
Did you forget something?
Nope.
I think I should stay and have dinner with you.
But didn't you say you wouldn't eat dinner with us just now?
Me saying that I couldn't stay for dinner doesn't mean that I didn't want to eat with you.
It could have been that I already made an appointment with someone.
It could also have meant that
even though it's dinner time,
I should still be productive
and do or learn something as I eat.
After going back downstairs, I thought
I could have dinner with you
and also give you some career advice.
Eating dinner
while doing self-improvement seems a bit tiring.
Don't all those self-help tools say
that when you're having a meal, you should just focus on having your meal,
and when you're sleeping, just focus on sleeping.
We can agree to disagree.
Right now, both work and life move at such a fast pace.
If you focused all your attention on eating at each meal,
that would be a luxury.
Of course, every once in a while you can treat a meal like chance to recuperate.
Then you can eat it slowly and deliberately.
But I hope you will use the rest of your time productively.
Three extra hours every day
accumulates to one extra day per week compared to everyone else.
Also, about sleep.
According to research,
if you are in deep thought right before you sleep,
your brain will keep thinking
after you fall asleep
and be hard at work.
I don't think I'm busy to the extent that I need to maximize usage of every second or minute.
Last time when I called you for a ride,
that was a special situation.
It was my first day after moving in, and my first day at my new job, and I really didn't know --
This was a problem I wanted to discuss with you.
You must always rehearse before the real show
in order to prepare for all possibilities.
You will come to understand this as you start to work.
No one cares if you have a special situation.
And no one cares or has the time to hear you explain yourself.
If a problem arises, then it must be because you were lacking in some way.
You have to learn to self-reflect and find the root causes of your issues.
For example,
you were in the crowded subway, and your shoe fell off because people pushing against you.
Then moving forward, why don't you wear a shoe that can't fall off when people push you
and put away all your high-end outfits and accessories?
Those kind of things are only suitable for rich housewives who never have to walk on their feet because they have cars.
If you're going to crowd with other people in the subway,
then please wear some comfortable shoes and clothing.
Doing that will save you a lot of time and energy,
and it will also help you avoid awkward situations.
I don't like how the things you just said sounded.
But I know you're telling me these things for my good,
so I will accept everything you just said.
Do you have pen and paper?
Yeah.
I remember when you interviewed last time,
I gave you some job search advice.
If you have time tonight,
I can give you
some pointers on things you should be aware of as a new member of the work force.
I have time. If you have time, I will definitely have time.
Tell me everything. I'll write it all down.
Let's put it this way,
once you start to work,
it's like opening the door to a level-up game.
Encountering and confronting problems
and how to solve them are key,
or else you will be defeated by someone else and have to start all over.
Then...what now?
You have to find companions.
You can trust your companions, but you can't rely on them
because your companions might
be asked to leave, or they may jump ship.
You have to know your upper management
and what their likes, interests, and hobbies are
because a person's most favorite thing
could be his greatest weakness
and opportunity for manipulation.
♫ The last time I kissed you ♫
♫ I knew your love was real ♫
♫ And I'm left here now wondering just how ♫
After He Han left, he left an atmosphere of peace.
Honestly, for me and Ping'er,
this was the first peaceful night we've had in days. I was tired,
but I didn't want to sleep.
I wanted to stay in this atmosphere of gentleness.
The longer, the better,
even though I knew
I would ultimately lose this peacefulness quickly.
Even to this day,
every detail of that night,
from the lights to the smell and wind outside the window,
are all fresh in my mind.
And now,
I finally have the courage to admit that
what moved me
wasn't that evening's peacefulness,
but He Han.
♫ Just tell me that you'll stay ♫
Mom, can I bring this gun to school?
It would be best not to.
Oh okay.
When did you become such an obedient child?
Uncle He Han said that if I listen and obey my mom,
he will leave all the toys in my room.
Then I must tell Uncle He Han that Ping'er has been very obedient.
Okay, let's go. We need to leave a bit earlier today.
How do you feel?
Don't go to work today, and rest at home for at least two days.
Don't think that just because the fever is gone, everything is okay.
You still need to take your cold medicine.
Thanks for bringing the toys to Zijun's house for me yesterday
and for teaching her a lesson about the workplace.
She gave me a call and told me everything.
I'm already a grown up. I can handle a cold or fever.
You don't have to come to see me. I appreciate your concern.
You definitely shouldn't come to see me.
I am closing off my doors to all guests. I won't meet with whoever comes.
I need to rest well for two days.
Yup, I need to get some good sleep.
Okay. Then I'm off to bed.
- Bye bye.- Bye bye.
Bye bye.
I beg your pardon.
I'm sick, so there wasn't any other option
but to invite you all to my home for the meeting.
I really have a lot to share with you guys today.
I think we're missing two people.
Were they informed of the meeting?
I think Luo Ping had asked them to do something.
Okay. Then we can let them be with Luo Ping from now on.
Let's get started.
To be honest, amongst all the people in Chen Xing,
He Han included,
the only person I truly admire is you, Chen Jungshen.
That's why I hope the two of us can work together.
Are you referring to Carmen's case?
But He Han has already decided to handle that case with Tang Jing.
He Han is He Han.
He only says that because he thinks he has the power to.
The key is that you're handling the project,
so you have the power to choose whom to work with from B&T.
Also, Tang Jing
isn't your best option.
You and she
both have some personal conflicts that everyone knows about.
Well, I'm not very close with you either.
All friends start off as strangers.
It just takes time, doesn't it?
How about this -- to prove my sincerity to you,
I'll refer a new client to you.
It's not that big of a case,
but it's easy to handle, so the money will come in fast.
I heard you've got expenses on both ends --
will you have enough water to drink if you don't dig a few more wells?
Don't worry, there's no hurry.
Take some time to consider all this.
We can meet up again later, deal?
I'll take the bill please.
Hey, how come your Xiao Xiao Le app is different from mine?
Yours is outdated! I'm playing the newest version.
Okay, time to work.
There's an extremely indecisive customer over there.
She's tried on at least a dozen pairs already.
Seriously, she's so picky.
And not only is she slow, she keeps complaining too!
She's already been here for half an hour!
Those kinds of people are the worst.
It's like they're not here for the shoes, they're here for some acknowledgment of their existence.
I'm telling you guys,
no matter how well-dressed or rich someone is,
if they talk down to us like that,
then they're 100% trash!
Rich upstart! Do they even understand good breeding?
It's not something they can buy with their money! Right?
Mm, yeah, I agree.
Hey, you haven't been here long,
but you must've already met customers like these, right?
Actually, I'd never done this type of job in the past,
so I had no idea. But working in customer service now,
I really detest these kinds of people, too.
Then what kind of job did you have before?
I'll go check on NaNa.
But -- you didn't finish your story...
Get back to work.
Hey, wait for me!
Take care! Come again!
Crazy lady.
I hope a car takes her face off when she leaves,
and her husband abandons her as soon as she gets home.
Did she buy anything?
She didn't buy shit!
While trying them on she was saying they were cheap and poorly made.
What is her problem?
Give that to me.
Welcome, is there anything we can help you with?
- Get me this pair in a 37 to try on.- Okay.
Let me go to the back and see if we have a 37.
No need, this pair is a 37. I'll just try these ones.
Bring the other one over here.
Okay.
Miss, come here to help me to do the laces.
Coming.
Zijun?
Zijun, it really is you!
Michelle, hello. What a coincidence.
Just now I didn't even recognize you.
Why are you here selling shoes?
Oh, is this your company's representative brand?
Or are you here to learn about common life?
No, I work here.
- What are you doing?- Sending to my friend circle.
- Oh, don't.- Hold on, let me get a picture of the store name.
Don't, don't send it.
I'm giving you free advertising.
-That's not good.- Then my friends will all come buy shoes.
Is isn't it better that they buy here instead of somewhere else? It gives you business.
Isn't it better not to trouble our classmates?
It's no trouble at all.
I've just sent it.
Then, help me look at that other cute pair
and then help me find a comfortable pair.
I usually wear that kind when I go to dinner parties.
Sure.
Hey, you haven't said how you came to be selling shoes here.
What happened?
Recently in the friend group you haven't said a word.
We all thought that you and your husband immigrated somewhere.
I got divorced.
Divorced?
Are you kidding with me?
Why did you get divorced? Doesn't your husband make a lot of money?
There were a lot of reasons.
Our store has a lot of other cute shoes that haven't been put out yet.
I'll go to get some for you to try.
Lele help me take care of this customer.
Okay.
Miss, do you like any other shoes? I can help you put them on.
What's wrong that you're so hurried?
I'm fine, I'm just getting shoes.
- Miss, you two know each other?- Yeah.
She's my college classmate.
Before she was divorced,
she didn't have to worry about anything,
just being a housewife.
Often in our friend group she'd
send stuff about shopping, and afternoon tea
and her husband.
Back then all our classmates were so envious of her.
I never thought today
- she'd have to get a job.- Really?
Wow! She's never said anything about it before.
Yeah.
Here, try this.
Zijun, what that woman just said out there true?
You really used to be the full-time wife of a rich family?
Why did you get divorced?
What? Divorced?
Whose problem was it? Your husband's?
Your husband is too cruel!
At that time all I wanted to do was take the boxes in my hands and throw them down on those people
but
Remember, you're at work to make money, not to make friends.
If you can make friends, that's a nice surprise.
If you don't make friends, that's normal.
So right now, hiding your capabilities and biding your time is important.
Focus on performing well. Let people make whatever comments.
If you do your job well
there will naturally be people who become cooperative partners.
- Michelle.- Hey, Zijun.
This is what's newly arrived at our store.
- They're handmade limited-edition.- Really?
Each one in a pair.
Let me tell you,
we don't bring these out just for any customer.
And some customers
even though they want to try them or they won't
because if they like them they can't afford to buy them.
They're not like you,
never caring how many thousand yuan things cost when shopping.
I'm not quite that extreme. I'll try them first.
Ok, here.
- Impressive enough!- Seriously.
Let me tie the laces for you.
You should try the white ones too.
The white pair are really unique, right?
They're especially noticeable in winter.
Really eye-catching.
Should wear them with a white coat, right?
They look amazing.
- What do you think? They look good, right?- They're nice.
If you like them both, you should get both pairs.
Consider it you giving me the best advertisement.
Let me take a picture for you.
This -- what are you doing?
Sending it to the friend group!
I want to let people know you came to my store not to buy nothing
but to buy limited-edition handmade Italian shoes!
Then, how much are these two pairs?
This pair is 7800元 ($1,160) and this pair is 9800元 ($1,460).
You wouldn't consider them expensive, right?
Actually, the price really doesn't matter.
It's just that I like this pair more.
Right, I think these ones suit you better too.
They really harmonize with the rest of your outfit.
Then let me wrap these up for you then.
- You don't want this pair, right?- Right.
Let me tell you, sometimes expensive doesn't mean it better.
It's better if they suit you, right?
Let me swipe your card for you. Wait a moment.
Using a credit card?
Too amazing.
Anyway since you know I'm working here
in the future whenever we get new products in I'll let you know.
You can come to look. I'll save some for you.
Great.
Let me tell you, we still have tons of
other cute shoes, didn't you say you wanted some for dinner parties?
Let me get some more out for you.
No thanks, this pair is fine.
- Just these?- Yes. -Okay.
Here you are!
When we have new products I'll let you know.
- Okay.- Careful on your way out.- Thank you.
- Goodbye.- Goodbye.
What's that for?
That was awesome!
I give you a huge "like"!
Your classmate simply reincarnated into sucker!
Those only-able-to-sell-one-pair-a-year extremely lavish shoes
you just sold just like that? You're seriously my idol!
Those types of people are really annoying and hard to deal with, right?
I used to be that annoying and hard to deal with,
so I know what they're thinking.
Sister Zijun (close address), what kind of joke is that? How could you be that kind of person?
Here, sit.
Of those kinds of people a lot
aren't people with money to the extent that they can treat yuan as orange peels.
They'll all topple the same as a half-full bottle of ink.
They're millionaires but act like they're billionaires.
When you encounter someone like that, first boost their ego to the skies,
so they feel satisfied with their existence.
and then suggest her something
that "she wouldn't consider expensive,"
and she'll definitely buy it!
If it's something really expensive she won't be able to stand not buying it.
and even counter that the product is inferior.
Hearing you say these kinds of things
I feel like I should first marry someone and spend two years being a wife as a full-time job and then come back and sell shoes.
That way to me customers would just be a unified body of people.
People who accept compliments won't act impartially.
It's not as nice as just doing nice things for yourself.
To be able to do just one thing
proving that I still have worth
really is a delightful thing.
Just like suddenly being ten years younger again,
feeling like your mind and body are light, feeling like you want to take on more challenges.
And all of this
thanks to every favor He Han did for me.
If you really could go back ten years,
if I was unmarried, single,
and didn't have a child,
if I wasn't Tang Jing's friend,
I would definitely fall in love with He Han.

Didn't I tell you not to come?
Aren't you supposed to be resting at home?
You just transferred your office to your house.
No wonder you won't let me come.
Sorry.
It's fine. You don't really listen to anyone's advice.
If you feel that there's not problem, then there's no problem.
Stop fiddling with those things already. Come over here.
You totally have given up on me now, is that it?
Of course not.
I still will give you honest advices that's hard to take like what a friend will do.
I will urge you when needed, mock you when needed.
But whether you accept it or not, that's not my call anymore.
I really can't control you anymore Tang Jing.
You also know that you won't listen to everything that I say anymore.
When I mentioned this matter to Mr. Lu,
he was very happy about it. After talking to him,
he'll be here later, I'll just introduce you two to each other.
You two just chat about other things first. Regrading the details of your collaboration,
just meet up and talk about them alone next time.
Because no matter what, he is our B&T's previous client.
If I am here,
that's not good, have to avoid suspicion. You know that, right?
No problem. Irregardless, thank you.
You're welcome. We are friends, right?!
With this client,
you already have enough money to spend for your two families for this year, right? So great.
Say, he should be here already.
Probably traffic.
There shouldn't be traffic at this time.
What are you doing?!
I should be the one asking you.
Why are you meeting with Chen Junsheng?
Mr. Lu is my client.
What right do you have to get my client
and give to Chen Xing as a favor?
How about those half fat clients of yours?
Aren't you so busy that you want to kick out a few of them?
Do you have any shame?!
No, that...
Vivian, say...you misunderstood, really...
Maybe things aren't like what you think.
This...how about this? You go back first. I'll just meet you later.
I'll explain it to you, okay?
Anyway, Mr. Lu will surely not come today.
Just give up.
I can accompany you to idle time away with pleasures. But regarding my clients,
Luo Ping, listen well.
If you dare touch just one hair of my client,
I'll let you die tragically.
Vivian...
No, this... A misundestanding...
Come, wipe yourself dry.
It was you, right?
Only you and me know about this matter today!
How did Vivian know?! It must be you who told her!
Say, Chen Junsheng, you are too despicable and shameless!
I treated you as a friend and tried to help you.
You...how can you be like this?
Don't push me to use force on you!
It is because I am not as despicable and shameless like you, that's why I didn't accept this favor of yours.
Luo Ping, don't think that all people are like you.
I indeed am financially tight for I have two families to support.
But I won't betray my superior just for these money.
Chen Junsheng, aren't you being too naive?!
You...really have treated He Han as a friend now, is that it?
Do you know what he treats you?
Pawn! Just a pawn!
I don't care what he sees me as.
He Han's help and guidance to me is really not something that can be exchanged
by a few Mr. Lu cases.
You...even feel that he is guiding you?
You are treating him as some live Buddha now, is that it?
Let me tell you. He is just a Buddha made of mud and he himself is in danger.
Just for a woman like Tang Jing, he lost the Carmen deal.
Let me tell you. He is totally destroying his own career.
It's equated to him telling the business world that he faked things.
Who else will still want him? Tell me. Who else will still want him?!
Don't think that because he still is staying in your company...
He is now just lingering on his last breath.
You think he is being kind for giving you with two hands this chance to work with our company?
Let me tell you. That is because your company's board of directors will never let him handle this case anyway!
All of you are basing your actions on emotions too much!
Preposterous. Too preposterous.
You are superior than everyone else so just play with yourself.
I'll pay the bill.
No, that...Hey!
Chen Junsheng, I haven't finished talking!
I'm home.
You're home.
What? Were you successful in dealing with Luo Ping?
Have you told He Han about it already?
No need. I've taken care of it.
If you don't tell him, how would he know that you rejected such a huge kind of seduction?
Say what? I didn't do it just to let He Han give me credit for it.
It's also just right that you take credit for it.
Or else, wouldn't all just be in vain?
How can it be in vain?
Chen Junsheng, you really are a good man.
What kind of person do you think I am before?
You say it.
I bought father some stomach medicine from Guoda Pharmacy. Take it to him with the clothes.
They still are not talking to you?
But today, when I called them to eat, they still came out to eat.
Does that count as a small improvement?
That's a huge improvement.
How about this? I didn't really eat anything earlier.
Accompany me. I'm happy today. Get two glasses and let's drink some wine.
Okay. But deliver the clothes inside first.
Wait a minute.
What's that?
This is donkey hide soup I cooked for your mother.
Deliver it to her too.
You worked hard.
I like it.
Slow. Slow.
Fast. Fast. Slow.
Slow.
Fast. Fast. Slow.
Fast. Fast. Fast.
Slow. Oh, wrong.
Mom, can you stop moving back and forth in front of me?
I feel dizzy looking at it.
No, I must train well until I'm good at it already.
Do you know? Anyway, I have to dance it with flavor. Look if it this has flavor or not.
Slow. It must have flavor.
If I dance well,
people will ask me to dance with them once.
Afterwards, they will ask me to continue dancing with them.
After one dance after another, we'll be dancing continuously.
Go home to practice your dances.
Did you come here just to show me how you practice dancing?
Oh, right.
I indeed was here to show you how I dance.
On one hand, I also want to come to visit you.
See how you are living now with Ping'er, if you two are used to it already or not.
On the other hand, I want to tell you...
I'm in love.
I heard about it from Ziqun already. How is that being in love?
He still has a girlfriend.
He and that so-called girlfriend of his will only have 1-2 dances every time.
But with me, we had 4-5 dances. Who is his girlfriend then?
You are my daughter. How come you are talking for the other woman?
You...stop folding those first. Hear me talk.
Do you know why I am doing this?
I am just finding you two a reliable stepfather.
- What did you say? Finding us a stepfather?- Right.
Cut it out already. Ziqun and I are almost 40 years old.
If someone is looking for a stepfather, it is us looking for one for our children.
Why must you look for a stepfather still?
If I'm old and sick already, will you two able to support me? Am I right?
What if in the future, I need a transplant of my heart, liver, stomach,, or kidneys.
Knock on wood.
I...
But what if! Can you two even come up with 800,000 to a million?
You two...planning to ask for alms in the streets?
Right? I'm doing this
totally to decrease the burden on you two in supporting me when I've grown very old in the future.
The usual old women don't have thinking as modern as me.
Fine. Fine. I know already.
I also received your announcement.
I know that you are going to date that overseas Chinese wearing a golden watch.
Okay.
Daughter,
just to express your well wishes to me, can you let me borrow that
nude platform shoes of yours?
Mom, I already don't have much expensive high heels already.
Why are you taking them? And also, the heel of that shoes are very high.
If you sprain your ankle, what then?
No, no, I won't get a sprain.
How about this? If I really sprain my ankle, I'll just return the shoes to you. Okay?
Moreover, you are working now in a shoe store. You shouldn't have a problem with shoes.
I am not the owner of that shop. I'm just an employee.
I can't just take anything out just because I like them.
Really, you...
My good daughter, let me borrow to wear it. Thank you.
- You really are so embarrassing.- Just lend it to me!
Fine. Fine. Take it and wear it. Really am to lazy to continue talking about it to you.
- Where are those shoes?!- Old hag.
Go and take it tout. Take it out.
It's just by the door. That shoe rack, inside it.
You're home.
Uncle, Auntie, you're home.
I bought pan fried pork bun and small wantons for you two.
I was thinking that since you ate fried rice patties and youtiao (fried doughnut) yesterday, we should change the flavor today.
Every night before she sleeps, she already have thought about what breakfast
she will prepare for you two.
For this pan friend pork bun, she has to fall in line the whole morning.
We will just eat congee paired with pickled vegetables.
Dad, just have a taste. If you don't like it, we'll just change it.
She took the trouble to buy them.
Does eating breakfast need to be such hard work?
I don't eat oil food.
- Dad.- It's fine.
Tomorrow, I'll buy minced meat wrapped in cabbage and corn cake. Is that fine?
Those are not oily.
Didn't I already tell you numerous times?
You don't need to spend so much effort falling in line every morning to buy these things.
Your efforts will just go to waste.
From now on, just mind yourself and your son well.
Don't cause Junsheng trouble and we will already be happy.
I will take care of Jiaqing well.
But...you two and Junsheng, I still have to take care of you.
Jiaqing told me yesterday that you bought him flowing filling buns.
He already told me. Thank you.
That is because we saw that at such small age,
this kid already was brought to live in somebody else's house.
We pity him for being fearful everyday.
He is not pitiful. He knows that you two are good to him.
Thinking about our own grandson, just because of your interference,
he can't even live in his own house.
Maybe one day, he also will be brought to live in somebody's home.
Every time I see your son, I remember our Ping'er.
This is a sin that you two created.
Mom, stop saying it already.
Let us not eat anymore. Let's go to work.
Auntie, take your time eating, okay?
I'm sorry. Don't take it personally.
It's okay.
All right, I'll give you a ride and then go see Carmen's boss.
- Is that the work Tang Jing's company is handling right now?- Mm-hmm.
- Will Tang Jing be there too?- Yes.
Then you need to watch out.
He Han warned me already.
He told me that no matter what she says,
I should agree with her and humble myself.
He Han's like your spiritual guide now.
Anyway, with his guidance and advice,
I've been able to do a lot more things with my work.
There are also a lot of new challenges that I have the opportunity to face.
I don't believe that a collaboration between B&T and Chen Xing
is necessary or efficient in the current situation.
After all, such a collaboration
would sap both time and resources.
If we have differences on that front, how would we resolve them?
Most importantly, the working methods of B&T and Chen Xing are totally different.
I do not believe Mr. Chen will be able to match our pace.
Ms. Tang, you can make any request of me in regards to work.
I will certainly put in my best effort to do my part.
We all know B&T's Tang Jing sets the best standards in this industry.
I won't give up on
this rare opportunity to learn from her.
Ms. Tang, please take care of me in the future.
Please sit, Mr. Chen.
These are our company's latest products.
Give them a try
and get a taste of our company's prosperity.
I think your partnership
is truly great. So it's settled.
CEO Li.
This is our company's newest candy-and-biscuits gift bag.
Take these with you and experience them for yourselves.
Thank you.
Here, take this one too. You've got a lot of kids.
That's okay, one is enough for me.
So how are you doing, with your new wife and son?
We've been all right.
All right? So does that mean things are going downhill?
When some more time passes, you might start feeling like your past life was better.
Your relationship with He Han will be the same as your relationship with Ling Ling.
You put him on a pedestal now,
but one day you'll realize that he's not who you imagined him to be.
I really don't know what you're thinking.
You like He Han -- as a friend or as a lover, it doesn't matter.
How could you say those things about him?
You think you're so smart and transparent,
so can't you see how annoying your opinionated, harsh comments are to others?
Dad will come pick you soon.
In the future, if you want to,
you can play at Grandma and Grandpa's house every weekend.
Okay!
But will Leng Jiaqing and his mom be there too?
Hmm. They might be, but they also might not.
Then if he's there, am I allowed to not talk to him?
Sure, if you don't want to talk to him.
Okay!
Fly up~
My grandson likes drinking these!
We'll put the chocolate here, and the toys here...
And the kid likes playing with guns. Ah, boys.
Okay, we'll put this here.
Jiaqing, if you see anything you like to eat, feel free to grab it.
Here, come.
Come over here. This QQ Xing is really delicious,
and it'll help you grow taller, too.
Grandma's giving it to you! You can take it.
Here, take it.
I also have a skateboard, but it's a bit smaller than this.
- Oh, is that so?- Does this one go faster?
Yes, it goes fast.
Here, Jiaqing, put on a jacket. Mom will take you to watch a movie, okay?
But I still have homework I haven't finished.
You only have a little bit left. You'll be able to finish on time.
Mom, dad. I brought him over with me.
Grandpa, Grandma!
Oh, my grandson! I've missed you so much!
- You're back!- This rascal's gotten heavier!
Did he grow taller?
- He's growing like crazy!- Yes, he's growing.
You're so tall!
Sweetheart, look at these.
Grandma and Grandpa bought all these yummy snacks and toys for you.
You can stay with Grandma and Grandpa for a while, okay?
All right, come say hi to this auntie.
Yes, go say hi.
She's your auntie.
Hey, be respectful.
Grandma and Grandpa, you haven't seen him in a while, so please enjoy yourselves at home.
I'll go take Jiaqing out to a movie now.
Sure, sure.
You two are watching a movie?
I was originally planning on bringing Ping'er, too.
But since Ping'er rarely gets to see his grandparents, I thought they should spend some time together.
So we'll just go watch it ourselves.
Do you want to come with us or stay home?
I'll... I'll come with you to the movies then.
Mom, dad, I'll be eating out for dinner.
Ah. I think Jiaqing and his mom can just go to the movies by themselves.
It's just a movie, after all.
You haven't seen your son in so long. Wouldn't it be nice to have a little reunion?
Yes, that's true, you rarely get together. You should stay home.
We'll get going now. Enjoy yourselves, okay?
I'll go now.
Wait, then how about this.
I'll go watch that movie with Jiaqing and Ling Ling first,
and I'll send them off to dinner.
And then I'll come back for dinner with all of you.
Ping'er, have fun with your new toys for now.
Dad will come back soon, all right?
Come back quickly. Don't make Ping'er wait for you.
- Ping'er, which car do you want to play with?- Let's go.
You used to like this when you were younger!
Pulling~ force~!
- Oh, this one!- You like to eat these too?
Look, this snack's your favorite.
- Get in.- Hey, Junsheng.
The IMAX theater's full. Would the normal theater be too far?
It's not far at all. Doesn't Ping'er want to watch it --
Doesn't Jiaqing want to watch it? Then let's go!
Get in.
But it starts in two hours.
You won't have enough time to come back for dinner.
Okay, then how about we buy the tickets first,
and in the two hours before the movie,
we can eat first and go shopping together?
Then I'll skip the movie and just come back.
Don't you always avoid going shopping with people?
That was the past.
Now... it's not like you shop often, anyway. All right, let's go.
Okay, let's get in.
"In The Pouring Rain" by Ye Linsheng
♫ In the torrential rain, among the busy cars ♫
♫ Why is the image of your face still so clear? ♫
♫ I hold my breath, watching you as you leave ♫
♫ Why do I feel my heart slightly wavering? ♫
♫ When did I start becoming used to your presence? ♫
♫ Your calls always appear at the perfect time ♫
♫ My heart has sold me out ♫
♫ I still have a little hope ♫
♫ that you will come back, searching for me ♫
♫ In the torrential rain, among the busy cars ♫
♫ Why is the image of your face still so clear? ♫
♫ I hold my breath, watching you as you run towards me ♫
♫ My heart is slightly wavering ♫
