Proletarian internationalism is built on the notion of seeking truth from facts.
Only when you stand firmly,
insisting on seeking the truth from facts
can socialist modernization
move forward.
We can now enter university!
What has been undergoing, as a practice, is the only discussion we will have to examine the truth.
More practically, the core argument is to emancipate the mind.
Whether or not...

Yang Xun.
- Brother Wu. - Why did you get up so early? Your arm is not healed yet.
- Leave it. We'll do it. - I woke up early so I came over to move the goods.
Simao! Let them do it.
- Let us do it. - No, no, no. I really have something to ask you to help me with.
That...I'll bring them out to the streets with me. Can you help me guard this place for a while?
What are you going to do?
We have not open for business here, have we?
Everything is in a mess. I'm preparing to go out and set up a street stall,
to let people know that we're opening for business again.
You're really serious about this.
You left all your work unattended and came over here to help me. I can't be depressed and dispirited the whole day long.
I'll be letting all of you down. I'll be letting Older Brother Lei down even more.
Okay. You're talking like a real man now.
Then we'll go all out and help him today.
- Okay, okay. Come, let's go. - Help me move these.
The electrical equipment market is opened for business again!
There's bargain discount. All products at half price.
The electrical equipment market is opened for business again.
Bargain discount. All products are at great discount.
Older Brother! The electrical equipment market is opened for business again.
There's bargain discount. All products are at discounted price.
The electrical equipment market is opened for business again.
All products are at great discount. There's bargain discount.
Little Yang, you are selling electrical wires and cables.
You're not selling vegetables. Is shouting like this of any help?
Even if the people don't respond, I'm trying to gather some popularity.
You stay and watch the store for me. I'll go and work the nearby areas.
The electrical equpiment market is opened for business again!
Brother, Brother, buy some electrical wires.
No .. Brother, do you want some electrical wires?
Every model of electrical wire is available.
All at discounted price. Half price.
Brother, please come again.
The electrical equipment market is opened for business again!
All products are at great discount. The electrical appliances market is having bargain discount.
All products are at discounted price.
Bargain discount. All products are at great discount.
- Simao! - Here, your food is here.
Look at you. Why are you doing this again?
Say, we've been eating and drinking these last few days that we are here.
We're already feeling ashamed.
Brother Wu, it's all thanks to you today.
Here, let me drink a toast to you.
Yang Xun, we'll be going back in a few days' time.
What's going to happen to you?
That's right, Brother Wu
I feel bad that all of you are here and can't go home.
Look at you. That is not what I meant.
I'm not thinking about going home.
I ...
I just feel that even though you were busy the whole day today,
there isn't any progress.
We're here eating and drinking away.
How much money do you have to be able to carry on like this?
It's alright. I'm sure there'll be business in a few days' time.
If everything really fails here, I'll make a trip to the factories or work sites
tomorrow. I don't believe that they don't need electric cables.
Okay.
Simao, protect Yang Xun. What do you guys want?!
Brother Wu, I'm sorry.
I asked you to come over to help but caused you to be beaten up instead.
It's alright. We don't blame you for it.
Don't let me see them again. I'll flay them if I see them again.
- Drunken attack. Who do they think they are? - That's right.
Little Yang.
Uncle Zhou, you're not discharged yet?
I'll be in a few days. I was going to look for you.
What happened here?
There were some people who went to the market to create a ruckus,
so we fought with them.
These few good brothers of mine took some beating for me.
These people are really getting out of control.
Yang Xun, you too.
Why would you still dare to go back there?
I thought that this matter is already over. I didn't think that they still would not let it go.
Even if they're not going to create any more trouble, don't go back to Yangzi Street anymore.
Reputation is the most important for those of us doing business.
The reputation there is already ruined.
Uncle Zhou, I'm not like all of you.
I really don't even have a single cent with me now.
Say, where would I go if I don't go back to the market?
I have even deposited half a year's rent over there.
You don't have to worry about this. I have already spoken to the warehouse tenant.
They have agreed to return half the rental to us.
The few of us have discussed about going to do our business in Jiangbei.
We still are going to sell electric equipment. We want to ask you to come along.
The few of us will partner and pool together all our capital,
and that will be a sizable amount. Do you want to go?
- Uncle Zhou, is what you said for real? Why should I lie to you?
Even though it's won't be easy at the new place,
we really have no choice. We must gang up together.
You have a good brain and can talk well. You will do well in taking care of the clients.
That is the reason I want to bring you along.
Separated by a river. That is not too far from home either.
- But -- - No one knows us there. We can start afresh.
I know that, but Xiao Feng wouldn't be able to find me when she returns.
Are you still hoping that she'll come back?
She will surely come back.
I know that you have deep feelings for her.
I'm going to tell you something which I hope that you'll not disregard. Little Dai is a smart young lady.
If she comes back to look for you, she can think of a hundred ways to do so.
If she doesn't want to come back,
it's useless even if you are standing in front of her.
Thank you, Uncle Zhou, but I really won't go.
Say, Xiao Feng borrowed so much money from other people because of me.
Even if she's not going to be with me,
I must think of a way to return the money.
Say, if I just go off like this, and if she gets to know about it,
she'll blame me for her taking her money forever.
You're young and can afford to lose.
Come to Jiangbei and look for me when you have thought it through in the next few days.
Okay.
Old Minced Pork, drinking by yourself?
Is it still the same for you today?
Half a catty of beef.
Cold salad ... I won't have the cold salad today.
Okay, wait for a while. I'll go and slice for you.
Here.
- How much is it? - Two yuan.
Brother Minced Pork, we are already old neighbors.
Can I buy on credit first? I'll pay you tomorrow.
This is only a small business.
I really can't sell on credit.
In that case, I don't want it anymore. Then I'll go off first.
I've already sliced all these. Who am I going to sell it to?
Sell it to me. I want it.
How much?
- How much? - Two yuan.
Brother Wu, so sorry to trouble you like this.
I didn't bring enough money today.
You've already treated me to so many meals.
I'll be the one to treat you today.
Let's go.
Brother Wu, I'll return the money to you tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
If I had not been concerned enough to follow you out today, where are you going to get your money?
There'll be business eventually.
I called back to the village today to report the medical fees.
Older Brother Dongbao said that he will reimburse it for me.
You mustn't pay for it.
No, Older Brother Lei knew about it?
Does Older Brother Lei know that business isn't doing good?
I wouldn't dare to keep anything from him.
But...he didn't reprimand you.
He wants me to tell you that if it's impossible for us to remain in Jinzhou,
we should change to another place and reignite our stove,
or we could go to another place to start a new sales counter.
We can't continue staying in this place with our ruined reputation.
Brother Wu, why don't we do this? Give me three more days.
If I still can't sell these goods in three days,
I'll return them to you. Is that okay?
Okay, it's just three days anyway. We'll wait. Okay?
Let's go. It's alright.
- Little Yang Xun. - Yes. - Going to start your stall again? - Yes.
The two of you, hurry.
- Little Yang Xun. - Yes. - Didn't sell anything?
I'll sell something tomorrow.
- Little Yang Xun. - Yes. - Setting up your stall?
[ Electrical Appliances Market Will Not Sell Fake Goods From Now On ]
Yang Xun. Yang Yun. What are you doing?
Brother Wu, you're here at the right time to help me with something.
What are you doing?
Look.
I want to burn all of them.
Burn them?
Why?
Brother Wu, help me to place these two planks over at these two sides.
What's happening, Brother Wu?
Come. Come. Prop up these two planks.
Okay, okay.
I want everyone to know that
as long as I am here, there will never ever be fake goods
in the Yangzi Street Electrical Equipment Market.
Brothers, sisters, and fellow countrymen,
greetings to all of you. I am Yang Xun from the Electrical Equipment Market!
Some time ago, that rascal fellow Old Wang from the Electrical Equipment Market
sold some cheap quality counterfeit products.
This resulted in an explosion the state-run mine,
causing many deaths. Our Electrical Equipment Market was also destroyed!
So today, I'm burning all the
cheap quality counterfeit products!
I, Yang Xun, guarantee this to all of you
that as long as I am in the Electrical Equipment Market for a day,
no fake goods will ever be found in the Yangzi Street Electrical Equipment Market again!
Put an end to fake goods. Every fake found will be compensated ten times!
Let me repeat again!
As long as I am here for a day,
no fake goods will ever be found in the Yangzi Street Electrical Equipment Market again!
Put an end to fake goods. Every fake found will be compensated ten times!
- Put an end to fake goods. Every fake found will be compensated ten times! - Good!
- Put an end to fake goods. Every fake found will be compensated ten times. - Good!
Yang Xun!
I'm a reporter. Can I interview you?
[ Yang Zi Street Electrical Appliances Market is determined to crack down on counterfeit goods. ] - Come! Come!
[ It has promised to compensate ten times for every fake product found. ]
We have! We have!
- This? - This is very good.
It's branded. It's from Dengfeng Electric Cable Factory.
I'll show you this one.
Whose electric cables are all these?
Excuse me. Move aside.
- What's happening? What are you doing? - Brother Wu,
they are all from the same trade. They are from our market.
Uncle Zhou, why are you here?
Are your injuries better?
To think that we treated you as one of us all along.
We thought of you when we were negotiating for the rent.
We thought of you when we were going to change the location for doing business.
But you are really heartless. You even burned our goods.
What have you become? A cracking down on the fake celebrity?
How are we going to do our business in future? You tell us!
That's right. How are we going to do our business?
Auntie Zhou, don't get agitated.
I didn't handle this matter properly. I didn't inform all of you beforehand.
I, Yang Xun, apologize to all of you.
But I never had the intention to step on you by doing all these.
Our market already had such a bad reputation before this.
I burned all the counterfeit products with a big fire.
This is done all for the sake of the reputation of our market.
I gambled my brain to do it. The result is not too bad.
It's all your own business whether you're gambling with your arms or legs.
Why do you have to wreck us too? It's already reported in the newspaper that
you're going to severe all ties who those selling fake goods.
Aren't you pointing at our noses and scolding us?
What are you shouting at?
Okay, Brother Wu.
Uncle Zhou, how old are you already?
Why can't you even understand these reasons?
I went to all these trouble to build up my reputation,
isn't it for the sake of everyone here?
Isn't it for the sake of our market?
I said that I wanted to severe all ties with cheap counterfeit goods.
I didn't say that I want to severe all ties with you!
Uncle Zhou, it can't be that you are selling cheap counterfeit goods.
By doing what I did, all of us can come back here and start doing our business again.
To be a little boastful about this, you are actually basking in my glory!
Yang Xun, you said that you are going to compensate ten times for every fake product.
Who is going to come up with this money?
What if the customer comes to us and makes a ruckus,
and asks for a compensation, I'll ask him to come and look for you!
Okay, so come and look for me!
I, Yang Xun, will make myself totally clear today.
I'm the one who said compensate ten times for fake products.
I will come out with the money for the compensation personally.
May I trouble all of you to spread what I said today out.
Help me to publicize it. It'll be even better if the entire Jinzhou knows about it.
I, Yang Xun, will definitely not sell fake goods.
We'll just have to wait and see if my business will be better or yours is better.
Uncles, Aunties, Brothers and Sisters,
who amongst you really want to leave Jinzhou?
Is there any one? I don't think so.
I went through all these trouble because I wanted to regain our reputation.
I did all these so that our business reputation that was destroyed by Old Wang can be rebuilt again.
To put it differently, for those of us doing business,
it is really so hard not to sell fake goods? Is selling real goods not profitable?
I will still say the same thing.
I did all these for your sake, for the sake of everyone and our market.
I will make myself totally clear today. As long as I, Yang Xun is here
I will definitely not sell fake goods in this market.
If you want to follow me and do the same thing, then follow. Otherwise, you can go wherever you want to go.
Who wanted electric cables just now?
- Me! Me! - Here, here, here. Who wants it? Here. - I also want to buy another...
- What do you want? - I want another bundle. - Another bundle?
- One bundle is 100 m. 100 m costs eighty yuan. - This is altogether...
I want two bundles.
This electric cable is really good. Here, here.
- This is the best electric cable. - If it's not, you can blame me.
This is definitely the best electric cable.
This costs two yuan per meter.
I'm not getting that much more.
The Secretary's new system is really good. I received more then ten yuan immediately.
Look at how silly you are. How can this be considered a lot?
- Over at the pig farm, they received increments of more than one hundred yuan. - That much?
Do you know how much those leaders and cadres earn every month?
You tell us.
- One thousand. - One thousand?
- How can it be so much? - It's so much! - That's right!
They said that they wanted to increase our salaries.
Truth be told, they just want to earn and pocket the state's money
and dismiss us with just this little bit of money.
- That's right. That's right. - He sits in the office everyday,
but what he earns in a month is what we earn in a year.
- We did all the dirty and tiring work. - Look, it's really one year.
The crux of the matter is that he doesn't do any work.
He just sits there everyday in the office.
- It's so comfortable. - That's right.
We work ourselves to death everyday.
They sit in the office everyday.
Hey! Hey!
Why are you blocking the entrance?
How can we be so much less than those at the pig farm?
The Secretary said that our new system
is based on distribution according to one's performance. If you earn less,
then you'll have to do more work next month.
The more you work, the more you earn, understand?
Quickly pack up here and go home. Go.
- Do more work next month. Okay? - Okay.
We do all the dirty and tiring work. Why should he be sitting in the office everyday?
Why should he be getting more than us? - That's right.
Look, I thought I was getting quite a lot.
He's getting what we earn in an entire year.
...to increase the accommodation and efficiency of funding.
To further expand the...
City reform
from October 1978
the Sichuan Province started with increasing the independence of enterprises.
Zhongfu, you're a rare guest.
You rarely come here in a year. You need anything?
Sit down.
How is the pig farm?
All good. The pork are being sold in a different price everyday.
I'll go to Shigen everyday to discuss the price.
I'll usually ask them to add a little. But despite that,
the people who come to buy the pigs are still lining up so early in the morning that I'd be willing to sell even the piglets.
How is it? Back then, I told you to listen to me. Are you satisfied now?
Now, do you earn more or less money from raising pigs than from your fish pond?
Do you have other issues?
Secretary Dongbao, this month, the expenses...
Zhengming, why are you acting like some suspicious robber? Come in.
Secretary.
Are you also here because of the matter with the salary?
Yes. It's for the matter with the salary.
Did you two make a plan to see me at the same time?
- No, no, no. - I didn't.
Sit down.
if you have something to say, spill it out.
Don't hide it and swallow it.
Looks like, Zhongfu came for the same thing as me. I'll say it then.
This month's salary was just handed out. It's too much.
It's even more than what you got, secretary.
Do you dislike it because you think that too much money burns your hands?
No, that's not it. Who would mind having a lot of money?
If I get this much money after just taking over the electric cable company, I'm worried that the subordinates won't take it.
I let you take this much money to tell you that you have responsibility weighing on you.
If you have the time to foolishly guess what other people are thinking, why don't you put your mind on
how to raise the electric cable company's efficiency?
Yes, Secretary. I understand all that you said.
In the days that I've been the factory manager, I've never delayed my work.
But I do know what it means to never forget the source of your blessings. You're the one who gave me this factory manager position.
I can't take even more than you, Secretary.
So, I want to give up a bit of my salary.
Do you also think this way?
No, no, no, no. I don't think that way.
Then what do you mean?
The work that I do deserves this amount of money.
After putting in all that effort, I have no regrets about the money I earned by raising pigs.
But...I'm just afraid that if the villagers find out, they'll say nasty things about it.
You're afraid of this? Have you forgotten when you led the villagers to curse at me?!
I was thinking, rather than them saying things about me,
it's better that I just contract a portion of the piggery.
I'll give some of the profits to the village and the rest goes to my pocket. That way, I'll be more at ease.
I just knew it. The person mumbling about contracting businesses is you.
Zhongfu, let me leave these words here,
don't even think about contracting the businesses.
You should just steadfastly focus on raising the pigs.
If by the end of the year, you raise up to ten thousand pigs, you won't be taking back less than you are now.
The collective isn't treating you unfairly, so don't think of taking advantage from the group.
I just want to contract the piggery.
- What taking advantage— - There's only one path placed before you. Take good care of the pigs
and let Xiaoleijia earn more money. Once Xiaoleijia becomes rich,
then you will also become wealthy.
That's right, Zhong Fu. Think about why you're called "Zhong Fu".
Only by being loyal to Xiaoleijia can you be rich.
He's your uncle. You're speaking to him like this?
I'm joking, aren't I? Uncle Zhong Fu, don't mind me.
Did you understand what I said?
Okay.
Since Secretary Dongbao has already put it this way,
I'll listen to you.
I won't think about contracting anymore.
Just do my best to work for Xiaoleijia.
Now, do you still blame me for taking your fish pond?
Back then, you were the one who went back on your word. You taking my fish pond still isn't right.
Then take apart your pig farm and set up a fish pond.
Uncle, my situation with Uncle Zhongshu is different.
The equipment and materials were all funded by the village.
My contributions aren't that much. Regarding the salary, why don't we—
I chose you because you think
and is daring. Did I see wrong?
The salary of the electric cable factory manager is exactly this high.
If you're not daring enough to take it, then I'll find someone else.
Then- Then I'll be going, Secretary.
Sure.
- Dongbao. - Yeah, mom?
Did you really get tens of thousands as your salary?
Who was talking nonsense to you?
No, Dongbao, money is good,
but if you take too much, I'm afraid...
Have you forgot the matter with the investigation task force?
It can't do. Let's take less.
If something happens and you get arrested, what do I do, Dongbao?
Mom, if anyone else talks to you about this salary matter again, tell him
that I am not monopolizing this secretary position.
If someone wants to be the secretary, I'll give it up to them.
When can we eat?
I'll go cook right now.
Our salary, if the Secretary lets us have it,
then I also want to have it.
If you should take it, then take it. Why not take it?
Shut up.
Uncle Zhongfu, why do you have to discuss this with me?
Didn't you say it today with Secretary Dongbao?
You said that you don't have any shame in taking it.
Of course, I don't feel any shame.
In order to fulfill Secretary Dongbao's task for us to raise ten thousand pigs, I—
These past few months, I've practically lived at the pig farm.
My work was more tiring than them. Why should I take less?
If you guys don't take it, I can't rest assured.
Shigen, what do you think?
Actually, I support the Secretary's plan.
It's only right to get more if you work more.
But to bring it back,
our salaries are still just way too much higher than the workers.
Public dissension is escalating.
They so want to directly point at our nose and curse us.
And think about what happened to Old Uncle.
Previously, I was seriously afraid of taking it.
I'm also scared of taking it.
If Uncle Wu comes back from Jinzhou and finds out that the electric cable factory was given to me,
and that my salary was raised by so much,
wouldn't he sneak up and attack me from behind?
Those are the best scenario.
Hongwei.
- What are you thinking? - Then, let's take less.
Take less? How much is "less"?
Tomorrow, I'll talk to the Secretary
and have him lower the standard pay for us managers.
- Let's drink, let's drink. - Is 5% okay? - 5%.
- Sure. - Bottoms up.
I'm drinking it. I'm drinking it right now.
I'll go get the car.
- Come, wife, send them out. - No need, no need, no need. - It's necessary.
- I didn't drink too much. It's fine. - Did you finish eating?
- Bike slowly. - I'm going now, Uncle Zhongshu.
- I'm going now, Auntie. - Did you eat enough? - We're full.
- Come back when you have time, all right? - Your culinary skills are great. Sure, Auntie.
- I'll come back now. - Slowly. - I'm going now, Auntie.
- Bike slowly! - Okay. I'm going, Auntie.
Go, go.
Be careful.
- Is it okay? - No problem.
Shigen.
- We took the wrong path. - Shigen, since we didn't take our salary,
will Dongbao be angry?
He will definitely be angry.
Why is Dongbao insistent of that allocation system reform?
It's all because he wants Xiaoleijia to improve above others.
If us leaders get higher salaries,
who will still commit the same mistakes as what Old Uncle did?
You can indeed put it that way.
But we are different from Dongbao. No one would dare say anything if he gets higher pay.
But if we get higher pay,
then it's like what you said earlier, they would point on our noses and criticize us for it.
They would point at our noses and curse us. That time, I also—
- Who? -Who is it!
- Let's go. Let's go
No, Who was that?!
Come out!
No, those bastards are so inhumane!
We haven't taken the money yet and they are already doing vicious things like this.
Hongwei, I've decided.
I am not going to the Secretary anymore!
I am getting the money!
Yes, we'd already got assaulted before we got the money,
then why wouldn't we get it. I am definitely getting it now.
I am getting my share!
Stop yelling, it's embarrassing.
I am getting it.
Okay already. Let's not let others see us. Let's go.
Don't anyone of you use excuses as increase in production and quality to shut me up.
For the equipment imported from West Germany in your new workshop,
just taking into account the equipment depreciation and increase in resource consumption,
how much is the increase in base cost?
Secretary Shui, I'm not dodging the blame.
Everything I said was objective elements.
I just went to the ministry to attend a meeting,
because this year, we imported new equipment
but instead garnered an overall loss in profit for Jinzhou.
I am not trying to blame anyone for this,
but to get everyone here to have a discussion
on how we can lower the cost and increase income.
Song Yunhui, this is the analysis chart that the Central Factory Financial Department created.
You are the director of the new workshop. Have a look
and tell me which part we can improve on.
Currently, the operation of the new equipment and the quality of its products were very good.
From the data,
the productivity of operation is not bad compared to those data from abroad.
But the data also reflected that the cost of production in your workshop is higher than that of No.1 Workshop's.
How do you explain that?
Secretary Shui, other than my workshop using more electricity,
the finished product rate and product quality is way higher than that of No.1 Workshop's.
This can totally offset the additional cost for the electricity.
Little Song, there's still equipment depreciation.
You must include that in calculating your cost.
You are right. I did not think of that.
How about this? Is the price of the products coming from the two different workshops
the same?
If they have the same price, then it would be like selling eggs as potatoes.
Considering the huge cost of depreciation with the products of the new workshop,
it would then have no more advantage.
The country has imposed regulations that similar products must be at the same price.
The distinction between the products of the New Workshop's and No.1 Workshop's
are like comparing a good quality potato and a bad quality potato.
It is not the difference of a potato and an egg.
But, the New Workshop's products are indeed selling well.
This is not a point that the cadre leaders can object to.
Didn't they say that they are giving more independence on enterprise management? Don't we have the right to set our price?
Our product is a strategic state commodity.
All are being bought and sold in bulk.
Moreover we are an important enterprise. It's different with those small and middle scale businesses.
It's the state who assigns us our sales path and price.
It cannot be altered.
Secretary Shui, since the cost for depreciation is a set value,
then to eliminate our profit losses, we can only lower other parameters.
We have to decrease the operational cost.
This will need to be researched.
Lowering the parameters might damage the equipment.
Give me a proposal in three days.
Immediately resolve the losses incurred by the new workshop.
Secretary Shui, I won't be able to promise that.
I must verify the data. Only after I did an operational test run can I give you and result.
Looks like the young lad has some resentment.
We are now in the economic era.
The bonuses of the whole plant must be coupled with the economic efficiency.
Tell me, is economics important here or not?
Young people don't look at problems in a general aspect. They are not able to account for the finances of the whole factory.
Instead, their eyes are only on the condition of one workshop. This cannot do.
This is an in-law being selfish and didn't teach his son-in-law his tricks.
So the problem arose from Old Cheng.
But the operation of the new workshop is still Song Yunhui's responsibility.
How about this, give me a conclusion at the next weekly meeting.
Let's see how we can further lower the cost of production of the New Workshop.
The meeting is over.
[ Office Building ]
Xiao Hui!
Kaiyan.
I went to look for you at the workshop but they said you went to the Main Factory for a meeting.
Why didn't you tell me?
I am sorry, I forgot and I'd made you come here.
Jeez, I even want to invite you for a dance in the employee culture building.
Why are you still wearing your work clothes? It's ugly.
You're also not wearing skirts.
Are you saying I am dressed ugly?
In looking good, the most important thing is to be confident.
Stop using these words to amuse me. I'm not that easy to fool.
It's your day off tomorrow.
I saw a dress in the mall. Why don't you go with me tomorrow to see it?
- I am talking to you! - Wait. I am thinking about work.
Song Yunhui!
What? Why aren't you coming?
What's with your attitude?
What do you mean by you are thinking about work and not allowing me to talk?
Your attitude towards me has been like this lately, so cold.
Don't be angry, don't be angry.
Just now, I suddenly had an idea that might be a good solution for work.
Do you think I would understand?
You have been like this lately. You always forget about me whenever you think of work.
Okay, okay, I will stop talking about it. Okay?
What, what were you talking about just now?
I said, since there's no work tomorrow. Let's go look at dresses.
Fine, fine, I will go with you. Stop being angry.
Let's go home.
It's fine if you go look at dresses with me, but I am still going to be angry.
You think revolutionary comrades are that easy to coax?
What do you want me to do?
I want you to only listen to me today and not think about work.
Why are you still working?
Didn't we agree that we would go to my parents' house to eat tomorrow afternoon?
I remember. It's lunch so there's still time.
Are you hungry right now? How about this?
I'll go cook you some eggs.
It's fine, you should go to bed. I'll follow in a while.
No way. I need to take care of your stomach. You'd told me before,
that the reason Older Brother's stomach bled was due to
Sister not being by his side to protect him.
I can protect you.
Listen to me and go to bed.
If I get hungry, I will eat your almond cookies.
I can finally have the chance to eat your almond cookies.
Sleep early and don't work too late.
Yes, I won't.

♫ Looking forward to the big and ripe golden fruits of Autumn ♫
♫ Those seeds of hope that our predecessors sowed ♫
♫ will be reaped by their successors ♫
♫ The proud sun of summer burns like fire ♫
♫ Emerging layers of waves are still warm ♫
♫ Push open a window, let the breeze blow past, ♫
♫ as if spring has come to visit ♫
♫ The wind and snow of winter sweep past ♫
♫ Bringing songs of harvest during autumn ♫
♫ When did the rain fall? When did the wind stop blowing? ♫
♫ Telling stories of the past ♫
♫ The spring breeze continues to blow, still looking forward ♫
♫ to the flowing rivers of age; time fleetingly passes by ♫
♫ A journey of difficulties and loud songs ♫
♫ All belong to us ♫
♫ Smilingly watch as time passes by ♫
