(Lost in 1949)
[Dimsum.My Ver] E19 Lost in 1949 Synced to KoreanDramax.me RAW -♥ Hafiz Adam ♥-
A-Er.
Miss.
I'll have vegetarian meals for 7 days.
Alright.
Are there any news from them?
No.
You're back.
Dr. Tang.
Miss Huang has been waiting for you.
Okay.
Miss Huang, please come with me.
Thank you Mrs. Tang.
You haven't left.
Last night,
everything happened too quickly.
In just a blink of an eye,
things went out of control.
If you wish to leave in the future,
that might be more difficult.
What is your plan?
I've thought about it.
Since I couldn't leave,
then I'll stay.
Judging from what happened last night,
it's obvious that...
the enemy is eyeing on Zhenning Village.
You must protect yourself,
be extra careful.
If you need anything, contact me anytime.
Mrs. Qian, please have tea.
Sister Lin,
are you all right?
You came unexpectedly,
I didn't have time to dress up.
You look good.
Last night,
the result for Women’s Commission representative election...
was out.
I heard about that.
Mrs. Qiao won the election.
Sister Lin.
Why weren't you there last night?
Had any urgent matter stopped you from coming?
Last night,
I had a surprise visit from an old friend.
We had been talking...
and lost track of the time.
That made you miss such an important event...
like an election?
That must have been a very close friend.
Mrs. Qian, it's not that serious.
The election happens once a year.
If I missed it this year,
I can take part next year.
Your good reputation has gone to waste.
We've been supporting you.
When you were not there,
Mrs. Qiao was just sitting there.
Her votes were less than yours at the beginning.
If it wasn't for that vote...
that came out from nowhere at the crucial moment,
who knows who might be...
the representative of women's commission?
Is that so?
I didn't know many of you had confidence in me.
You had no idea.
When they were counting ballots,
Mrs. Qiao...
was so nervous that...
when she had found out that she won,
she jumped out of her chair.
I couldn't stand seeing her being so full of herself.
As if she owns Zhenning Village.
Good fortune won't last forever.
I'm afraid she can't be any sadder now.
Why not?
Family Qiao...
has been full of joy...
for the entire day.
Joy?
Even Master Qiao...
is smiling broadly.
He...
smiles broadly?
Yes.
When I met him at the alley just now,
he said hello to me.
Mom.
Mom, I've got an idea.
Hasn't the landlord...
been single for years?
He has no wife nor offsprings.
He likes watching opera, right?
What's with that?
We have a secret weapon here.
Let him deal with the landlord.
Isn't that a good idea?
Don't ever tell him anything about the house.
Never.
Talk about operas.
When you guys are happy, just sing for him.
Just sing.
I have not warmed up my voice yet.
Warm up?
You've been warming up forever.
Mesmerize him with your voice.
Mesmerize him.
Brother, just go.
But my voice...
Mrs. Qiao.
I told you I would give you 5 days,
and you agreed.
But...
Brother.
This...
This is...
He is my brother.
Just call him Yi Ying.
I heard that you're...
also an amateur performer.
I am a fan of Cheng Yanqiu's female character.
That's great.
What is your...
favourite opera?
The Injustice to Dou Er.
We share the same interest.
I don't want...
my blood to flow into the ground.
My blood will splash on...
the white flags.
Hanging on the flag poles, for everyone to see.
I wish in June, the summer month,
this place will be covered in snow.
Xiao Guang.
You must protect our child.
I didn't manage to leave,
I can only stay here.
In the future,
no matter what happens,
you must bless us.
Make sure I can deliver our child safely.
Boss Wen said that,
there's a new tombstone here.
I don't know if this is you.
If I make a mistake,
please forgive me.
I don't know what to do.
Whenever I know there's a wordless tombstone,
I'd come and look.
Even if the hope is frail,
I'd like to try.
If this is you,
come see me in my dream.
Mister, I'm sure you already know.
Well...
We just need some time.
Half a month will do.
Our family wants to buy this house.
We hope you can...
negotiate with the buyer.
If we still don't have the money...
after half a month,
we'll move, alright?
Yes.
Mr. He.
For the sake of...
our friendship for years,
please give us some time.
But 15 days later,
I will be in Hong Kong.
How about...
ten days at the most?
Sure.
But,
my house...
will be sold at 6 gold bars.
Mr. He.
Back then,
we paid you 2 gold bars as a deposit...
for a long term rental.
Now we wish to buy this house.
No matter what,
you should offer us some subsidies.
Subsidy...
He Sheng.
I can only make it at 4 gold bars.
I can't help you anymore.
Okay. Thank you, Mr. He.
Pleasure.
See you.
See him off, brother.
See him off. Go ahead.
Mom.
I told you it would work...
if we ask brother to help.
But to get 4 gold bars...
in 10 days...
Mom.
These are all...
my properties.
These are some dowries from my mom,
jewelries from your father,
and also...
I saved some money...
all these years.
Mom.
If you use everything,
you'll have nothing left.
But that's not enough.
We'll lose this house.
But,
even though I put everything in,
they're just enough for 1 gold bar.
There's still so much left.
What should we do?
Mom.
We'll figure something out to come up with the rest.
All my savings...
are here.
Mom.
Yue Rong and I have some savings.
We'll take them out.
Yue Rong.
Go bring our deposit book.
Wait.
Bring along the bracelets...
and necklaces.
Those bracelets and necklaces...
are from my dad.
Not you.
Can't you see what's happening?
You still care so much about that?
Look at mother.
If we lose the house, where are we going to live?
Zhi Cai, I remember that...
you have a gold watch.
Yes.
My professor...
gave it to me as a gift.
Take it out.
I will pawn it...
to support our family.
Zhi Cai, don't do it.
You must never pawn it.
That was from Li Jie's professor.
His name is engraved on it.
Furthermore,
if the gold watch gets to the market,
when others see it,
that'll be a disgrace...
for Li Jie.
Mom, if it's not for our current condition,
I wouldn't make him do it.
I know he's penniless.
After all,
that gold watch is made of gold.
There are some diamonds on it.
If I pawn it,
it will cost at least...
half of a gold bar.
Alright.
I don't care about reputation.
Mom, I'll bring it here now.
These are what I have.
Zhi Cai.
Are these enough?
I estimate...
all these will only be enough for...
two gold bars.
Who is that culprit?
Why must it be our house?
Is that so?
Really?
Alright, alright.
Tell me.
Sure, sure.
Thank you.
Who was that?
Mom, I found my new house!
Really?
Where is it?
He said he'll bring us there at once.
Lina.
The house that you're buying is also in the alley?
Do you like it?
Mom, after I get married,
I will to stay close to you.
If anything happens to you,
I can take care of you.
If you have a baby,
I can help you to take care of the baby.
Miss Lin.
Your daughter is filial,
you're very lucky.
Where is the house?
Why are we going further?
Yes, brother.
Where's the house?
Miss Li Na.
The house that I found...
is a family of scholars.
The Fengshui is exceptional.
When it comes to buying a house,
Fengshui is very important.
Almost there.
It's in the alley,
the end of the alley.
The end?
Could it be B14?
Exactly.
B14.
Family Qiao?
Yes.
I'm sure both of you...
must be aware of the reputation...
of family Qiao.
Enough.
We won't take...
the Qiao's house.
Mom, mom.
Miss Lin, this...
Miss Lina,
the Qiao's house...
is highly demanded.
Brother, don't blame me for saying this.
you're a real estate agent, but haven't you heard?
In the entire Zhenning Village, our family...
detests family Qiao the most.
Miss Li Na!
-Mom! -Miss Lin!
Mom!
The landlord called.
He said the buyers...
changed their mind.
We can keep our house.
But we can't keep dad any longer.
Let's hold the funeral tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
Tomorrow is the night before New Year's eve.
Brother, dad's gone.
We're not celebrating the night before New Year's eve.
Mom, is that alright?
Sure.
What's the matter?
There's a situation in Xingfu laboratory.
The uranium nuclear fission...
that's led by Qiao Li Jie...
has entered the crucial stage.
Within 1 or 2 months,
we'll know if there's any breakthrough.
It means,
we don't have much time...
to win him over.
They did not send Qiao Li Jie to Taiwan.
They've been giving him freedom in life and work.
It's all for...
the nuclear experiment.
Once they get the result,
Qiao Li Jie will be in danger.
I will contact Comrade Si Nan...
to speed up.
At the same time, we have find other way,
whether there's someone else...
who can help us.
Li Jie.
Your mourning clothes is ready.
Whose wedding invitation is that?
Yun Fu.
He's getting married tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
It falls on the same day.
You can't go.
But I have to.
Li Jie.
Tomorrow is dad's funeral.
Are you not coming to dad's funeral?
Dad's funeral...
I'll definitely be there.
Then...
what are you going to do?
Will you go to the funeral first,
and go to their house...
and join the wedding?
I'm looking for...
a way.
A solution...
which is the best for both sides.
Come in.
Here, come in.
She's upstairs.
Okay, thank you aunty.
I'll bring you there.
Sure.
Li Na.
Here you are.
You're so beautiful!
The dress is stunning!
The veil is so pretty!
Sister.
Here.
Let me introduce to you,
this is my biological sister, Li Wen.
She's also my bridesmaid.
Sister, these are all my sisters...
in The Paramount.
Hello.
Have you packed your things?
Do you need my help?
Sister, don't worry.
My sisters are here.
Take a rest.
Li Na.
Let me help you with the hair.
I'll help you with the nails.
Go, go, go!
The skirt! Don't step on the skirt!
Let's go, let's go.
Here, here.
Put it on,.
Li Na.
You're getting married.
I'm going to miss you.
Li Na, the best man is here.
Best man?
Let's go, let's go!
He's so handsome!
The best man is so good looking!
He looks familiar.
I must have seen him somewhere.
Mr. Best Man,
what do you work?
In a foreign company?
Or do you own a factory?
Miss Huang.
I'm here to join Yun Fu...
and Miss Li Na's wedding.
You come after all.
Why are you standing over there?
-Aunty. -Li Wen, take him to his seat.
Please take a seat here.
These are wedding candies, please help yourself.
Miss Li Na, congratulations.
Mr. Qiao.
My sisters...
are very fond of you.
That's right.
The groom is a pilot.
Even the best man is a university graduate.
Look.
He's on today's newspaper.
That's him!
The Mayor meets the science elite,
Mr. Qiao Li Jie.
It's my first time meeting him!
Where's Li Jie?
Li Jie...
has gone to a wedding.
It's dad's funeral, but he's gone to a wedding?
Whose wedding would be so important?
You know him.
That's Li Jie's personality.
I supposed he already...
made a promise.
He can't refuse.
Let's wait for him.
He said he'll be back very soon.
Hurry!
Come take a look.
Whose daughter is getting married?
Excuse me, excuse me.
Let me see, let me see.
That's flamboyant.
It seems like Miss Li Na from family Lin...
is getting married.
Miss Li Na?
Miss Li Na...
from The Paramount.
Isn't she getting married with an officer?
That's right.
Dai Ling, when is the groom coming?
Mr. Best Man,
when is the groom coming?
It's almost afternoon.
He'll come.
He'll definitely come.
Sister,
why hasn't Yun Fu come here yet?
Maybe...
Maybe he's occupied with some missions.
Why don't we wait for a while?
The other sisters have been waiting for very long time.
There are many guests waiting in the restaurant.
That's unacceptable.
Why don't we let the guests to start eating first?
After Captain Wu comes,
you'll go and thank them.
No way!
My wedding will be ruined!
Yun Fu will not stand me up.
He'll definitely come.
Madam.
The pallbearers are urging us.
What time is it now?
Mom.
It's almost 12p.m. .
Mom, don't wait for him anymore.
After Li Jie comes back,
make him pray to dad.
Mom.
Sister.
Could it be that...
Yun Fu...
has abandoned me?
No.
Captain Wu will never do that.
He must be occupied...
and can't come yet.
Miss Lina.
I have to leave now.
You're the best man, you can't go.
If I don't go, I will suffer the consequence.
You will suffer the consequence if you leave!
Yun Fu isn't here yet.
But you're leaving?
What does this mean?
Dad,
let's go.
Carry the casket!
He's coming!
Li Na! Li Na!
Mrs. Qiao, this...
What happened?
Mrs. Qiao.
Has Master Qiao...
passed away?
Master Qiao?
Li Jie.
Come here.
Help me.
Listen to me!
Miss Li Na.
Family Qiao's funeral...
has affected your wedding.
I apologize.
Family Qiao and my dad...
never meant to do this.
My dad wished to depart peacefully.
Family Qiao would like to...
send him off peacefully.
I believe,
when you heard that my dad's passed away,
you're just like us,
in shock, sad, sympathy.
When my dad was alive,
he always said that,
there's not a single family...
which will never go through hardship.
Our family...
is going through hardship.
Fortunately, our family members are all here.
The neighbours are all here.
Now my dad can depart at ease.
Miss Li Na,
Aunty Lin,
Li Wen,
I apologize to you...
on behalf of my dad.
He never meant to offend you.
He never wanted this to happen.
But in Zhenning Village,
there's an old custom.
Respect the deceased.
Please don't be angry,
make way for us.
Is that alright?
Dad.
Let's not disturb everyone.
Let's go.
Go!
(28 January, 1949)
(Chinese New Year's Eve)
(Zhenning Village)
After tonight,
it will be the year of ox.
It's a new year with new atmosphere.
Family Qiao...
needs someone...
to be the head of the family.
Mom, dad's left.
You'll be the backbone of our family.
We'll just listen to you.
Your dad is gone.
And I'm old.
It should be your turn.
These few days,
I've been thinking...
who should I entrust...
this family to.
Yi Ying.
All these years,
You've been the eldest brother...
and a role model for the brothers.
You've been working hard,
and helping out with the family expenses.
Everything that you've done...
for the family,
I know it very well.
Thank you.
Mom, that's my responsibility.
Li Jie.
You are the pride of our family,
You brought honour to our family.
It's all thanks to you.
When your father was alive,
he liked you the most.
He always said that,
only Li Jie inherits his wisdom.
Thank you.
Thank you for your encouragement.
Yue Rong,
Ever since you're married into our family,
you've put in a lot of effort...
in taking care of every aspect of this family.
Being the eldest daughter-in-law is never easy.
I understand...
the hardships that you're going through.
Mom, don't worry about it.
It's a tradition...
for the eldest daughter-in-law to manage the home.
I will work hard.
In the future, I will be like you,
take good care of...
every aspect of the family.
Be rest assured.
Alright.
In the past,
we've kept our valuable things...
locked inside a box.
This key...
will be handed over to the head of the family.
Although, now it doesn't...
seem to store anything anymore.
But,
it still carries a meaning for us.
So...
Zhi Cai,
today, I...
will hand this family...
over to you.
Mom.
You must always remember what I said.
As a family,
loving and protecting each other...
is the most important.
You must...
support our home.
Mom, don't worry.
I will definitely...
take good care of our family.
Great.
A-San.
I invited you...
to be a witness.
I want to make a will.
Mom.
Have we done anything wrong?
If we made mistake,
we'll change.
Actually,
making a will before someone's dead...
is now very common in America.
Mom, just say it.
Shut up.
Listen properly.
After I leave,
don't worry about...
the funeral expenses.
Take the jade ring...
and cash it.
Use it to buy a graveyard.
Also,
I do not wish to be buried together with your father.
For my entire life,
I've put my heart into this family.
After I leave,
I wish to stay by myself...
peacefully.
I'm done.
Eat up.
Miss Huang, are you getting breakfast?
Thank you for helping me to get away the other day.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Miss Huang.
Yun Fu didn't show up in the wedding,
he must have had some missions.
It's a past.
Alright?
He didn't show up.
You must have known something before that.
Mr. Qiao.
Must you get to the bottom of this matter?
Because I'm very curious about it.
His wedding is an important event.
Yet it ended up like that,
I think there must be a reason.
Don't you have your own secret?
No.
In my life,
not only I do not hold any secrets,
my job and researches...
are meant to expose...
the secrets in the material world.
Do you know what does physic mean?
Physic means finding...
the internal laws...
of all the things that exist in this world...
and analyse it,
so that more people can understand it.
It's no surprise that we can't get along.
I'm an accountant.
On the contrary, my job is to...
protect the secret of the fund flow.
Mr. Qiao.
I think you should...
learn from your brother,
Qiao Zhi Cai.
Experience the real world.
Good bye.
Li Na, eat something.
No.
You'll hurt yourself if you don't eat!
I'm so angry.
I knew Wu...
isn't a good man.
He never deserves you.
Now, that's great.
He even stood you up.
That's great.
You don't have to marry him.
It's not Wu Yun Fu's fault!
It's family Qiao's fault!
Family Qiao were causing trouble!
We...
Li Na.
Hey, brother.
Listen properly.
I am going to buy...
B14.
But tell the landlord,
ask family Qiao to move out by the end of this week!
After Chinese New Year,
the vendors in the market...
have changed their attitude.
It's only been 4 to 5 days,
now we almost can't afford bok choy.
Silver coins are still valuable.
These are the meal expenses for the week.
Steam 2 meatloafs everyday.
One for my mom.
One for Li Jie.
We can eat less.
But we can't make the old and young suffer.
Young Master Zhi Cai, you deserve to be the head of family.
That's what my mom said,
I can only listen to her.
Brother,
where are you going?
I'm getting some tinfoils for dad.
I'll go with you.
Brother, I have a question.
Why is everyone like that?
The currency depreciation.
Now we need 2 catties of banknotes...
to buy a tofu.
The bundles of money that they're holding...
are not valuable anymore.
I see.
Why would you come out...
and buy stuff with me?
Isn't this wasting your time...
and affecting your research?
Someone inspired me.
I wish to experience...
the real world.
Who inspired you?
Tell me.
A very intelligent person.
-Noodles! -Noodles!
Noodles!
Hurry up!
Thanks.
Here's your money.
Okay.
Here.
Last time,
we used to pay after we eat.
Now, we have to pay before we eat.
Our great physicist,
do you know why?
I knew you're only clever...
when it comes to researches.
In the real world,
I'll be your mentor.
This bowl of noodles costs 2 catties of banknotes.
After we finish eating, it's worth 3 catties of banknotes.
So, shouldn't we pay before we eat?
I have to race with the time.
Increase my efficiency,
reduce the currency depreciation.
You're already using what you learned.
Fast learner.
It's good.
Boss, how much is this?
A thousand pieces of 6,000 banknotes.
What?
