[My Story For You]
[Episode 29]
It'll be all right. Even if Xiao Shan leaves, we'll still be here.
We'll be with you.
Young people have their own plans. Just let them go.
If they are good children, they might just bring you over there.
Mei Xin's parents are also here. How can they bring all of us over there?
Why not? Times are different now.
It's all about globalization now.
Everything will become even easier in the future.
That's right.
Gosh, why are these all old clothes?
Didn't I buy any new clothes last year?
I bought something for you.
Thanks, Mom!
You're the best.
Mom, I won't be home for dinner. No need to cook for me.
Xiao Shan.
Someone introduced me to a man.
A man?
Auntie Zhang wanted to help you look for a man for so long but you never agreed.
How come you suddenly changed your mind?
Go have fun. We can talk later.
No, you have to tell me or else it'll be on my mind all day.
You have your life. I'll have mine. It's a good thing.
You're grown up now. I can't keep you by my side.
Mom, did something happen today?
Nothing.
Tell me.
Mei... Mei Xin told me...
she tried to convince you to go overseas two years ago
and you two fought over it.
I was wondering if it's because
you're worried about me living alone.
I don't want to hold you back.
Mom, Mei Xin and I have come to an agreement.
I will stay here to take care of you and wait for her to return.
Decisions change.
She has already waited five years for you. That's not easy.
I will talk to Mei Xin about this.
Don't get involved in this.
Xiao Shan.
We'll now take a break for commercials. Send in your votes.
We'll be right back after the commercials.
Come on, let's get these clothes folded while the commercials are on.
I'll help you.
What brand of laundry detergent does your brother usually use?
I didn't know so I used the one my family uses.
This one. Our family also uses this one. It's quite strong.
Mu Zi, you're so good to Chang Gong.
You even use the laundry detergent that he likes.
You can just let him do the chores.
He said he'd do them
but I feel bad seeing him do all the work.
Share the chores, life will not be a bore.
Very insightful.
Chang Gong, get the door! Hurry up!
You're always ordering me around. Can't you get the door?
Xiao Shan.
- What? - Phone.
- What? - Phone!
- Give it to me. - What do you want?
- Where's the portable network? - Right here.
Hey, you--
Give it to me.
What do you want it for?
- To vote. - Vote for what?
I'm almost out of money.
I'll pay you for the texts later.
Don't tell me you're voting for "Super Girl."
Bingo!
These two like different contestants.
My wife is rooting for a young boy while my sister is supporting a girl.
They've borrowed all the phones in the entire building.
Yours is the only one left.
Now that's something I don't like hearing.
When did the girl turn into a boy? She's just a bit on the handsome side.
She has a buzz cut. She's not a boy?
Only 15 votes are allowed per phone. It doesn't cost much.
You'll get a beating if you keep bringing it up.
It's back on!
Mei Xin, I want to talk to you on the balcony.
Let's go.
Mei Xin.
My mom was doing well in Changchun.
She only came to Jinghu to give me a better education.
I'm finally starting to make something of myself.
I can take care of her now.
That's why I can't leave her here alone.
Yes, but children will eventually grow up and leave their parents.
Wei Xiao Shan, you're no longer a teenager.
Look at my classmates.
They all traveled abroad and left their parents in China.
The situation is different for each individual.
So do you choose your mom?
Look, you're getting agitated again.
Let's keep at it for a while longer.
How long do you want me to do this?
Until you graduate?
Then your mom will be even older.
Would you bear to leave?
Why do I have to leave?
It's not like you're not coming back.
Even if I do return, I'll be going back to Wuhan!
My parents are in Wuhan.
Would you go with me?
That's not what you used to say.
I didn't know better back then.
Anyway, I only have two choices.
One, bring my parents to the States. Two, I go back to Wuhan.
Please.
Couldn't you discuss it with me first before you changed your mind?
It's not that I didn't want to discuss it with you.
Wei Xiao Shan, you can be good to your parents, but I can't?
Okay, I can't win this argument.
Chang Gong, I have to go.
What's going on? We're finally all together.
No, I have something to do. I have to go.
You guys have fun. I have to go too.
I'm returning to Wuhan tomorrow and I have a classmate reunion later.
Bye.
What's going on with you two? We set this up for you two!
If you two leave, what will this be for?
I'm done voting!
Where's Wei Xiao Shan?
He left.
Left?
I still have his phone.
Why did you ambush him for his phone as soon as he stepped through the door?
Why are you being mean to me?
He shouldn't be far. Go after him and give him back his phone.
What? You're leaving too?
A classmate reunion.
You don't even plan on coming back to Jinghu. What's the point?
Bring an umbrella! It's so sunny!
Another fight?
Give me my phone. I can't be away from it even for a second.
Why are you so attached to your phone?
My professor is very narrow-minded.
If I don't reply to his messages right away, he says I don't respect him.
All right, I have to go.
Mei Xin?
There you are.
This is Han Dong. This is James.
- Hello, Mr. Han. - Hello, James. Sit down.
He was my college classmate and also studied abroad in the States.
You also studied abroad in the States?
Let's not talk about that.
Your Mandarin is pretty good.
My wife is Chinese.
Is that so?
Then why isn't she opening a store in China herself?
She is a second-generation American.
Thank you.
Let's get down to business.
I have an idea of opening a luxury goods store in China.
Mei Xin mentioned you, so we put together this impromptu meeting.
Impromptu?
Impromptu.
It seems your Mandarin is still very basic.
Let's discuss in detail our collaboration and profit sharing.
It's so darn hot.
Xiao Shan, why are you out here?
There are a lot of mosquitoes. Did you get bitten?
It's not too bad.
It's too hot inside. I'm sitting here because it's cooler out here.
Did you have a fight with your mom?
No. My mom is already asleep.
Did you forget she gets sleepy at 9 p.m. every night?
She never stays up late except for New Year's.
If your mom starts an argument with you, don't take it to heart.
She has spent her life worrying about you
and never puts herself first.
When she first started working at the factory
everybody gave her the cold shoulder because she came in through connections.
She did it all for you.
Auntie, don't worry. I understand.
You must remember what I say. Got it?
Next, we have a song selected by one of our listeners, "Wonderful Mood."
It has been requested often lately.
Let's enjoy it now.
The rainy winter is over at long last.
The sky is a clear light blue.
It's been five years.
Our lives no longer have anything in common.
Where are you when I'm sick, in a bad mood, or in trouble?
I set up such a perfect opportunity for you.
You only have to come. You don't have to worry about anything else.
You'll have a much easier time than I did.
But why? Why do you only care about your family?
I really like the ideas you brought up.
I look forward to a pleasant collaboration.
Okay.
- It was very nice to meet you today. - Same here.
Where does he live? I'll give him a ride.
No, thanks. I live very close. I can walk on my own.
Bye.
All right. Bye. See you next time.
Bye.
Let's go. I'll take you to Wei Xiao Shan.
I'm not going.
You're only here for three days.
Do you want Xiao Shan to be all alone?
Don't act so cocky.
I spent the whole night referring business to you.
Quit it.
I told you it didn't have to be today. I could've met him on my own.
Even if I hadn't come to this meeting, I wouldn't have gone to see Xiao Shan.
What happened between you two? Why are you so mad?
Mei Xin, did you forget the times in the US...
when you were missing him and wiping away tears in secret?
You should cherish the love you have.
When you're all alone like me, it'll be too late for regrets.
Nobody cried.
Xiao Shan is waiting for you at home.
- Come on. - I'm not going.
Stubborn.
A heart that loved him deeply but was hurt...
Let's end this balmy summer night on a beautiful note with this lyrical song.
Love is reckless courage and unforgettable memories.
May all the listeners tonight be in a loving, wonderful mood.
Miss, the AC is on.
It's hot outside. Roll up the window. It's wasting energy.
We interrupt this program with breaking news.
A gas explosion occurred in a coal mine in Gujiao, Shanxi.
There are currently 36 dead and 11 injured.
This year has been so strange. There have been so many mine disasters.
There are several every month.
It sure isn't easy being a mine worker.
Housing prices keep on rising.
Haven't the authorities been taking combative measures
such as protecting small apartments from real estate speculation?
Do you think housing prices will go down?
Probably.
I also think so.
I've been telling my family to wait for housing prices to go down before buying.
Don't you agree with that?
Don't contact me again.
I've already hit my limit.
Hello?
Me? I'm near Ping'an Street.
I have to go. I'll come by when I have time.
Let's go to Shenzhen next time. I'll take you to some fun places.
Shenzhen? Han Dong, you sure know how to have fun!
You must be thinking dirty thoughts. Did you think I meant Dongguan?
Han Dong, we're men.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Thank you for the business over the past few years. Have fun tonight.
All right.
You came.
Han Dong, is this your wife?
Don't make wild guesses.
A friend, an old friend.
Come, sit!
We're all friends.
You two can talk.
I'll come find you later.
You really came. Is this a place you should come to?
Didn't you say we should hang out?
Yes, I said that.
What do you want to drink? Juice?
No, I'll have what you're having.
We're drinking alcohol.
Then I'll drink alcohol. I drank when I was a student.
Just like you, I attended parties and gatherings when I studied abroad.
I already forgot. Here.
Here's a trip down memory lane.
The past we can't return to and lovers in foreign lands.
You're really downing it?
You can't even take a joke.
I was teasing. I meant myself.
Great. I wasn't drinking because I drove here.
After you came, I had to drink for you.
We'll have to catch a cab. I'll see you home first.
Let's walk.
Sure. Let's go!
Don't take me seriously the next time I joke with you.
You know me.
After all these years, you still can't tell when I'm joking?
I can't.
I really regret being so cold to you in the past.
It's fine!
It's my fault for not having the courage to talk things out with you.
Xiao Shan's father and I were classmates.
I wanted to return to China but he wanted to build his career abroad.
That's why we broke up in the end.
Later on, you told me you wanted to go abroad.
That was actually really difficult to bear.
I was probably afraid the past would repeat itself.
It's really okay.
I'm sorry, Han Dong.
It was so long ago.
Isn't our current relationship great? We can hang out and go out for dinner.
It's better than before.
You really think things are great now?
Very good. There's no pressure!
Don't you think you're avoiding the truth?
Ms. Chong, I really don't.
Han Dong!
If what happened in the past still bothers you, I apologize.
I'm sorry.
But I want to ask you something right now.
Do you still want to be with me?
After we broke up, I got together with another girl.
Later on, I was expelled.
I wanted to return to China but she didn't want to come back
so she dumped me.
That was after we broke up. I don't mind.
There's someone else in my heart. Do you mind?
Taxi!
It's hard to catch a cab here. Get in quickly.
I'll note down the license plate. I won't be coming with you.
Message me when you get home.
Hello, Yao Yao!
What is it?
Li Ning Feng just fell asleep. He finally doesn't have the night shift.
You nearly woke him up.
I was out drinking with friends tonight.
As you ordered, I voted for the "Super Girl" contestant you like.
I wanted you to know.
I even took the waiters' phones to vote.
I probably sent in... over 100 votes.
Really? Thank you.
Keep at it. Don't give up.
Remember that you have to vote again after each round.
How can I remember that?
I'll message you. I'll send out a mass text when the time comes.
Okay! You can count on me!
Thank you.
Don't pretend to be asleep.
You woke me up.
Hubby.
Can you commandeer your officers' phones?
Why?
For voting?
No way.
See? You must be sick.
You set the thermostat so low. I'm freezing even under the blanket.
Then I nearly get heatstroke biking to work. It's ridiculous.
If it's too hot, you can drive to work.
I wouldn't dare.
You would have heatstroke for five days from taking the bus once.
You should take the car. I'll stick to biking.
Who spoiled you this badly?
You.
I brought this upon myself.
All right, let's go to sleep.
I finally get to hold you to sleep.
Time to sleep!
Can you close the door? All the cool air I saved up is escaping.
Do you know how long I've kept it in here?
Why is the AC turned off? Aren't you hot?
I'm saving electricity.
Oh, you.
You won't spare money to send in votes but can't bear to turn on the AC.
It's my tiny guilty pleasure.
Cool.
It's not that I don't support you
but if you and my sister liked the same contestant
then given your enthusiasm, that person would definitely win.
I guarantee I'll win and she'll lose. You just watch.
Why are you getting so angry?
I'm not. The computer isn't working.
It used to behave after one tap
but it still doesn't work even with two taps now.
Let me see.
Take a look for me.
This computer is getting old. That's the way it is.
Didn't you use to fix computers?
I used to fix desktop computers. This is a laptop. I don't know how to fix this.
Is the warranty expired?
I bought it in 2001. It's already been four years.
It's sure to be expired.
All right, I'll take it with me tomorrow to have someone fix it.
Can you place more importance on this?
There are animated films in there that were downloaded at school.
Those can't be found anymore!
Okay, I'll pay more attention to it.
I'll pay more attention. Is this okay?
Good. My husband is reliable.
Go to sleep.
- Go to sleep. - I think I'm sleeping already.
You're sleeping like that?
Go to sleep.
I'm sleeping on a hottie.
- Mom. - You're back. It must be hot outside.
Here.
Is the laptop fixed?
I had to leave it with them. It'll be a lot of work.
It'll take several days.
Will it be expensive to repair?
It won't be cheap.
Why don't you take this computer home? It's not getting much use here anyway.
She has a lot of things stored on that laptop. It needs to be fixed.
Besides, the store computer has its use.
Chang Gong.
The store isn't doing too well this month.
I don't have enough money at the moment.
Can I give you your salary later?
It's okay. We're family. There's no need to keep score.
What are Mu Zi's plans?
Does she plan on staying home
until she qualifies to be a government worker?
Yes, that's also what I have in mind.
She can stay at home and restore her health.
When is the government exam?
Apply in October and test in November.
So she won't get a job until the end of the year?
She needs to make the cut first and then wait for an interview.
If the interview goes well, she'll probably get a job in March or April.
It takes that long?
It's only July.
It'll be nearly a year by the time she gets a job.
More or less.
- What? - This.
Chang Gong, I'm still worried about you.
This store has been open for several months
and we still haven't made a return on our investment.
I can't pay you a bonus either.
Your monthly salary is only 1,200 yuan.
You two are barely getting by.
I've invested all my money into this store.
How about this?
I'll borrow some money from your sister and give you a bonus.
The store is still in the red. Why would I get a bonus?
Mom, she doesn't go out much and I don't spend much.
I go from work to home and back.
I can even save 200 to 300 yuan a month. Don't worry about us.
If I had known this would happen
I would have let you drive long-haul for another year.
Wouldn't you have been worried about my safety?
- Why wouldn't I? - So get to balancing the books.
Li Mu Zi, every time we go out, we end up coming to your house.
You're no fun!
It's sunny outside. I'm afraid you'll get too tan.
Besides, we can watch "Super Girl" at home
and you get free AC.
Be content with what you have.
You don't get money by saving, you get it from earning.
I know that. This is a special period though.
I'll be rich after I get a job next year.
Let me tell you. Lin Jin can't get that skewers guy out of her mind.
Don't mind her. She has ulterior motives for coming today.
Who?
Xiao Gong? You like him?
Not really. I just want to get to know him more.
Wait. I thought you don't like uneducated guys.
He only graduated from middle school.
You're the most highly-educated out of all of us.
Even if you do like him, your parents wouldn't approve.
I didn't say I'm going to marry him! I just think he--
He has tamed her stomach!
Grilling skewers is easy. Give me a grill. I could do it too.
I just don't know how to burn coal.
I can. We can do it together.
You two are terrible.
You know I've never had a boyfriend before.
I just want to give it a try.
You're serious?
This is unusual. You've been thinking of him since New Year's.
I heard about the time he outwitted someone to get 60,000 yuan back.
No good.
You mean he's a playboy?
I'm saying Lin Jin is no good.
What have I done? Why are you saying I'm no good?
Xiao Gong seems like a good boy.
If you two really hit it off, you'd better not bully him.
Li Mu Zi, whose side are you on?
Do I look like the type to bully others?
Yes.
You two!
Leave this to Zhang Chang Gong. He'll drop some hints for you.
Really?
- Give me a hug! - No, don't!
- Those two? - So weird, right?
The two of us seemed like an unlikely pair in the beginning too.
Help me ask him.
All right, I'll talk to him when he gets back from Shanxi.
I wanted to tell you something.
It's my mom's birthday tomorrow. She's turning 50.
That's a major milestone. Why didn't you tell me in advance?
I just found out. My dad told me.
I'm really unreliable too.
Since I graduated, other than marrying you
nothing else has gone very well.
I've been doing so poorly.
It's okay. You have me. Don't feel stressed.
By the way, my uncle gave me some money.
I bought a birthday gift this afternoon. Do you want to see it?
We saved up less than 2,000 yuan in the past half year.
The computer repair took several hundred yuan.
Besides, she only turns 50 once.
It won't happen again.
Where are you going?
Have some juice.
Do you know there is a buy two get one free deal for this?
There's a particular trick to shopping at supermarkets.
What is it?
You must buy right before they close.
They're afraid products won't sell the next day, so things go on clearance.
I think I'm a really dependable and awesome wife.
I think so too.
Sit here. Let's talk and be frank.
Be frank? This is no prank.
The film, "Cell Phone" is so funny. Let's watch it again tonight.
Let's talk.
About love?
Can you be serious?
Sitting down will seem more serious.
Return the money.
- Promise. - Promise.
Are you giving it back?
All right, I'll give it back tomorrow morning.
I'm sorry to put you through this.
It's my mom's birthday. There's nothing to be sad about.
I'll just have to eat more there.
My poor stomach.
If you had to rate our marriage, how many points would you give it?
- Out of what? - 100.
100! 200!
Can you be serious?
We must have a serious talk, but not right now!
Because "Super Girl" is starting!
I had it set to the right channel! Did you watch sports?
Why are you sitting so close? Do you not care about your eyes?
Be at my mom's house tomorrow at 7 p.m.
Be there before me. No, I'll be there before you.
I know.
Sit back.
Are you going on your own or should I help you?
What?
Sit back.
Sit here.
Here.
Now I don't want to watch TV.
Drink the juice.
Delicious.
