【FULL】Life Is A Long Quiet River EP19 | 心居 | iQiyi
[English subtitles are available] ♫I finally got the answer, it’s my home that makes me feel at ease♫ [LIFE IS A LONG QUIET RIVER] [Episode 19] I’m here today to bring you something. I forgot to give it to you that day. If I don’t come today, I’ll have to wait for another two weeks. What is it? A watch. Your grandfather gave it to me before. He told me to give it to you when you are at your peak. I’ve been waiting for this chance. Shi Yuan. All these years, I’ve been forcing you, forcing you to work hard, to hustle and be ambitious. You… You won’t blame Mom, right? About the college entrance exam, I’m still really troubled by it. I’m really anxious. All these years, sometimes I wish I could swallow some sleeping pills and die. Mom, don’t say that. I ruined your future. I held you up. Every time I see this watch, my heart feels like its being cut. I’m scared. I’m afraid I wouldn’t have the chance to give this watch to you. Now, look. You’ve joined a big company. A top-500 company in the world. You’ve become a full-time employee. Grandpa is up there. If he knows you did well, he will be very pleased. Mom, I think that company… Son. I know you won’t be willing to live an ordinary life. Wear it. I’m really happy. Give me a hug. Mom. I finally got to see this day. [Gu Family Mausoleum] [Gu Lei] These are all your favorite foods. Mango, roasted squid, braised pork, smoked fish. We haven’t seen you in a long time. Everyone is busy. Take care there and protect our family. Let Little Tiger be healthy and improve his studies. We all miss you very much. I went to see Gu Lei today. The whole family went. Standing there today, I was thinking. At this time last year, we were fighting about buying a house. I thought I would be living in my own house a year later. But who knew a year later, I’m meeting him like this. I thought about a lot of things today, past things between Gu Lei and me. I think human memory is a really strange thing. If you forget something, does that mean many things in the past never happened? You won’t. You’re so good at calculations. You won’t get Alzheimer’s. You are always thinking about the past. You need to look forward to the future and think of good things. Think about the future. People like me don’t have a future. Little Tiger is all that’s in my future. As an individual, I have no future. How could that be? Don’t imitate me. This wine is very expensive. Do you know why Sis doesn’t like you? It’s because you’re so stingy. It’s because she doesn’t know what’s good. Let me tell you. Do you think just anyone can fall for someone as talented as me? Brother, how can you be so ignorant? How are you talented? Take your piano skills for example. The neighbors complained every day. Try it then, see if you can play it. What if I can play it? Feng Xiaoqin can play the piano? If you can, you can do whatever you want. I’ll show you. Don’t you know how good I am? Alright. Come on. Start. You’re making me feel embarrassed. You… Why is it that you can play the piano? I’ve been practicing with Little Tiger. How long has he been learning it? Two years. Two years? Oh my god. I’ve been learning it for five years. I’m impressed, Feng Xiaoqin. Are you going to keep your promise? Here. You can’t go back on your word. You have to pay me 100,000 yuan if you go back on your word. I won’t go back on my word. Honey, I’ve thought about it. I still want to work in Aimon. Don’t worry. I won’t affect your work. I will be very careful with my work relationships. I won’t cause you any trouble. I’m not worried. Are you angry? No. I know you must have thought about it for a long time to arrive at this decision. In that case, I respect your choice. Actually, I… [Zhan Xiang promises to invest in Feng Xiaoqin’s nursing home. I won’t go back on my word. If I go back on my word, I’ll pay 100,000 yuan back.] You can’t go back on your word. You have to pay me 100,000 yuan. [1333 Fuxing Middle Road] [Shanghai Property Management Association] [Brother, I saw some honey in your fridge. Mix it with some warm water, it’s good for hangovers. ] [Brother, I saw some honey in your fridge. Mix it with some warm water, it’s good for hangovers. ] [Got it, thank you.] You bought a new watch? No. My mom brought it here a few days ago. She said Grandpa left it to me. It seems that your mom is very happy for you now that you can work at Aimon. Qingyu, I… Come on. Don’t let your mom down. [Aimon] Everyone, stop what you’re doing. Let me introduce your new colleague. Shi Yuan. Hello, I’m Shi Yuan. Nice to meet you. Okay, get back to work. Okay. This is your seat. Anna. This is our new colleague. He’ll be with you for the time being. Take care of him. Nice to meet you. Okay. Okay, go ahead. Thank you. Shi Yuan. Please come with me. Okay. This way, please. Ms. Lu. Shi Yuan. Ms. Lu. Hello, I’m Cindy. Hello. Have a seat. Qingyu told you we’ve known each other for more than ten years right? We’re old friends. Thank you. Qingyu said you were the first master that she worked with. In our industry, there aren’t many people who are as nostalgic as Qingyu. Every time she sees me, she’d call me her mentor. Based on her qualifications and experience, if it were someone else, their eyes would have grown to the ceiling. They wouldn’t acknowledge me anymore. But Qingyu is not like that. She still cares about our friendship. She’s willing to help others. Not long ago, she called me. She asked me if I helped you to get into Aimon. I told her there are two points to this. First, I think you are outstanding. Second, under relatively equal conditions, of course I’m willing to help my own people. This is a win-win situation. What do you think? Thank you, Ms. Lu. Thank you for giving me this chance to work at Aimon. Before I left the house, Qingyu told me to be grounded and do my job. When you join a new company, you must listen more, learn more and talk less. Cause less trouble too, especially to you. Don’t worry, Ms. Lu. I will do my job well. I won’t ask about any other issues about people or things that are not related to me. I won’t cause you any trouble. [I met your husband. He’s handsome. He’s polite too. You have good taste.] [I met your husband. He’s handsome. He’s polite too. You have good taste.] [Master, it’s business. Hit him and scold him whenever you want. Don’t worry about me. ] Did you get any calls these two days? Did he say when he’ll be home? No. What’s going on? It’s been half a month. Her hand was scalded. That happened at work. It’s our fault. Xin, did you offend them? When her parents came to pick her up that day, they looked like they were going to eat someone. Hello. Hello. How are your parents? They still don’t want me to go back. What are your thoughts? Have you broken up with Sun Qi? How many times have I told you? How many times have I told you? We broke up long ago. We broke up 800 years ago. It was a clean break. But you just don’t believe me. What can I do? No, it’s not that I don’t believe it. I’ve been thinking a lot these two days. Sun Qi is so beautiful. She must have lots of suitors. Now that you’re married… I’m just stating the facts here, It’s not like you’re such a great catch anyway. She doesn’t have to cling to you, right? Even if you are willing, she may not be willing. From this perspective, I think I can trust you. But my parents are very angry, especially my dad. He said you took my kindness for granted. You’re confused. You need to be taught you a lesson. He made me nervous too. I don’t know what he will do. Okay. I see. It’s time for dinner. That’s right. Time flies. Let’s go. Let’s go, Shanshan. Let’s eat. Let’s eat. Stop working. I’m starving. I’m starving. Let’s go. Let’s go. What should we eat today? Yuxiang shredded pork. I heard that it’s quite delicious. You spoke to me about changing jobs the last time. I want to talk to you about it. [Please don’t contact me again.] What do you mean? [Please don’t contact me anymore.] [Sun Qi has enabled Friend Confirmation. You’re not her friend yet.] [Please send a friend request first to chat.] Here. Isn’t it strange? Yue has been back for over a month. We have a stake in the granddaughter too. It can’t be that the child takes their surname in the future too? Xin, you are in the wrong too. She hasn’t been back for so long and you haven’t done anything. What do you want me to do? To take her away? You’re always so mean to me, just like your father. If you are capable, teach your father-in-law and mother-in-law a lesson. Listen. Not everyone is like Shi, who is so lucky to have a father-in-law like your uncle who’s so well-tempered. Sister, forget it. About this, Qingyu said I’m difficult. You? If that’s the case, then everyone in the world is difficult. It’s only because it’s you… If it were someone else, it would have been… Qingyu. You know what I mean. What do I know? I don’t know. Aunt, what do you mean exactly? Alright. I’ll stop talking. Let’s eat. Let’s eat. Stop talking. Let’s eat. Let’s eat. Duo, eat. Here, Mom. Why did you talk back to your aunt? Isn’t she always like this? She talks the most every time we eat together as a family, and it’s all negative talk. Forget it. We’re all relatives. We should still have boundaries. Are you in a bad mood recently? No. Are you mad at me because I went to Aimon? I said no. Why are you taking wild guesses? It’s not the first time your aunt said that. In the past, you ignored her and smiled. There are times that I can’t stand it too. If you are really uncomfortable, I can resign. But give me half a year. No. At least three months. Did I tell you to quit? Did I show any unhappiness with regards to you working at Aimon? You didn’t. But I don’t want you to be in a bad mood because of this. I’m not in a bad mood. Why do you keep bringing this up? A married couple can’t be satisfied with everything. So I need to learn to coexist with problems. You mean there actually is something wrong between us? Why are you taking it out of context? What are you doing? Do you want to fight with me? I don’t want to. Sis, you forgot your ribs. Dad’s fried it in oil already, he wanted me to tell you it’s ready to eat, you just have to add some seasoning. Doesn’t Dad know I don’t cook at home? Yes. That’s why he gave you a semi-finished product. Give it to me. I’m leaving. I gave her the dishes. Is Sis okay? I feel like something is wrong with her. Did she quarrel with Shi Yuan again? If you’re worried, you can ask her yourself. If I ask her, she wouldn’t tell me the truth. When she wasn’t married, I was worried. After she got married, I’m still worried. I thought someone like her who finally found someone she liked for so long definitely won’t quarrel. I didn’t expect that they would still fight. If they don’t fight, they’re not husband and wife. Your sister-in-law doesn’t look like a good wife. She’s always so fierce. What’s wrong? It’s all because that Zhang Dingguo forced me to recite 300 Tang poems. If I can’t recite them, he won’t let me dance. It’s killing me. He did it for your own good. His memory is not even as good as mine. You have no idea how many things he lost these years. Even if I empty the whole house, he might not realise. Right. Wait for me. Don’t go. Where are you going? Xiaoqin. Look. Look. Look. Put it in. Put them in. Why did you take these out? I took them out secretly. Let’s see when he will find out. You shouldn’t be playing such a prank . Xiaoqin, do me a favor. Can you take these back? When I want them, you can return them to me. No. What if you don’t remember this clearly? Then… even if I have ten mouths, I wouldn’t be able to explain what’s going on. How about this? Turn on your video. What? Turn it on. I am entrusting these things to Xiaoqin temporarily. I’d get them back from her when I ask for them. This is proof. Alright? I can’t stand you. Little Tiger, put on your shoes at the door. I’ll get your bag. Hurry up. We’re going to be late. Qingyu, get some milk from the fridge and let Little Tiger bring some. Put on your shoes. Xiaoqin. They’re dressed. Here. Bring it to drink on the way. Let’s go. All right. Let’s go. Bye, Aunt. Bye. Qingyu. Why did you come back alone? Where is Shi Yuan? The dung pipe in his old house is leaking. He went back to fix it. He’ll be here soon. Old houses are always like this, they’re very troublesome. How are the two of you? How have you been? It’s not like I’m living abroad and only come back once a year. I come here every now and then for meals. Don’t you know how I’m doing? You look fine on the surface… It’s pretty good in reality too. Let me ask you. That day… Wait. Hello? Zhang? What? Really? Did you call the police? Did you lose a lot? Don’t worry. Just take it that you used money to avoid disaster. Okay, bye. What’s wrong? Uncle Zhang next door said there was a thief in his house. Is he alright? He is fine. He lost some things. He lost some cash, bank cards, bank books, and jewellery. They were in a black bag and someone stole them all. But Zhang said the door and windows were fine. I don’t know how the thief got in. Do you think it was someone we know? Xiaoqin. They’ve put on their shoes. Come down. Granny. I thought about it. You’d better wait for me at home. I’ll go to you tonight and return your things to you. Otherwise, I really feel uneasy. If something happens, how can I explain it? Brother-in-law. Brother-in-law is here. Xiaoqin. Little Tiger, this is for you. Thank you Uncle. Sorry for the trouble. Come in. Uncle. Little Tiger is back. Are you done with the errands at home? -Yes. -Let’s go play. Go play. Let’s play with this. Let’s go. I’ll show you how to play with this. Have fun. Don’t break it. You bought toys again? Let me help you unbox it. Xiaoqin. Did you know that Granny Zhang’s stuff got stolen? Do you know about this? What did she lose? He said he lost some cash and bank cards. Some gold, silver jewelry and bank books in a black bag. Someone stole them all. Does this have anything to do with you? Yes. I am entrusting these things to Xiaoqin temporarily. I’d get them back from her when I ask for them. I told you it couldn’t be her. Did something happen to you recently? No. Don’t hide it from me. When we had dinner that day, I knew something was wrong with you. I’ve raised you for over 30 years. You are my daughter. I can tell if something is wrong. I told you there’s nothing. I’m your dad. You can tell me anything. Your dad isn’t so old that he can’t figure things out. Even if I can’t solve anything for you, I can talk to you about it. I know. Listen to me. You’ll get sick if you don’t talk about it. Are you done? Yes. Let’s go home. Okay, I’m leaving. See you. Aunt, Uncle, goodbye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Okay. Be careful. Zhang. Your dad must be watching you from the balcony. If you don’t want him to worry, please cooperate with me. Don’t look back. -Grandpa. -Xiaoqin. Sorry for the trouble. Take a look. Hurry up. Is anything missing? I didn’t touch anything at all. It’s okay. Look. This old woman, I can’t stand her. Granny is getting worse and worse. She needs someone around her all the time. I’m also worried about this. Have you ever thought of sending her to a nursing home? It’ll be better if a professional takes care of her. I asked. She said she doesn’t know anyone there and she can’t stay there. I have to go upstairs now. Okay. She’s home alone and I’m worried. Go. Dad, you’re so sensible now. You even invited me to a place like this. My daughter is so fashionable. As her father, I should at least catch up a little. Have some tea. Qingyu, Zhang who lives next door clarified the matter with me. It’s indeed a misunderstanding. You know Granny Zhang. She is a little muddled and plays tricks every day. Your sister-in-law had no choice. She got into it accidentally. Maybe she did it on purpose. You know Granny Zhang, she isn’t very clear-headed. We can’t listen to whatever she says. For things that you have no evidence for, you’d rather assume the best about people than the worst. Otherwise, you’ll suffer. I’ve taught you this long ago. Look at you. You used to be so generous. Now you’re getting more and more stubborn. I see, Dad. You called me out today to scold me. I’m not scolding you. I’m worried about you. You are my daughter. She is my daughter-in-law. Would I be biased towards her? After what happened to Gu Lei, no matter how much we talk about living a good life together, we can’t go back to the way things used to be. This is the truth, right? You’re the eldest sister after all and you’re my daughter. I can only advise you to be more magnanimous, to not be petty with her. This is one thing. Besides this, I hope you can be happier. You just got married. It’s the time when your hot-headedness is cooling down slowly. I’m sure you would feel some discomfort. I’ve been there before. I understand. Shi Yuan is my son-in-law after all. No matter what conflicts you face, unless it’s a matter of principle, such as him having women on the side, I can’t criticize him. I can only advise you to let go and think about happy things. Now I know it’s not worth being your daughter. It’s good to be your daughter-in-law and son-in-law. Don’t talk nonsense. It depends. If something really happens, who would I help? Okay, I understand. I’m glad you understand. Remember, only when you are happy will I be happy. Understand? Yes. Grandpa. How is it? I don’t know. A few people had diarrhea. Some went to the hospital. They said it was acute gastroenteritis. Are there any leftovers from lunch? Can I have a look? Yes. Yes, let me show you. Look. Pork chop. Kung Pao Chicken. [Shanghai Food and Drug Supervision Bureau, Pudong New District Branch seal] The meat is already spoilt. Why did you sell it? In the fridge, it’s all expired meat. If it weren’t for the food poisoning cases, we wouldn’t have known. It’s ridiculous, isn’t it? It should have been closed long ago, right? Yes. Someone got food poisoning? They’re having diarrhea. We’ve called 120. Yes. The boss is so evil. It’s a trap. If it weren’t for the food poisoning… Call 120! we wouldn’t know. That’s right. There are too many unscrupulous businessmen There are too many. It should be closed. They deserve it. Yes. [Shanghai Food and Drug Supervision Bureau, Pudong New District Branch seal] Yes. Someone got food poisoning. They got diarrhea after eating the meat. Coming. Hello, Mr. Gu. Mr. Zhan. Feng Xiaoqin is not home. No. I’m here for you. You… A friend gave me a box of old tea. So I thought to practise some filial piety. You brought me tea? I usually drink tea at home, but I just drink casually. I don’t know tea well. It’s a waste for you to give me such good tea. It’s not a waste. As the saying goes, flowers are meant for beauties. Good swords are for heroes. Don’t beat around the bush. Why are you at my house today? Just tell me. Good. I want to borrow someone from you. Borrow someone? Who is it? Your daughter-in-law, Feng Xiaoqin. No. Why are you looking for her? You can’t be asking her to go to your house to be a maid, right? No. I plan to do business. I want her to help me make money. I’ve talked to your family for you. Let’s start now. I think we should find a place near Wanziyuan. Let’s find a place first, so you can take care of your child. As for the customers, the elders of Wanziyuan will be our first consideration. One more thing. I just found out there are too many certificates required to operate a nursing home. I’m asking around for someone. We’ll try to open it at the end of the year. Are you confident? Feng Xiaoqin. Why aren’t you passionate? I opened this nursing home for you. Are you telling me you’re giving up now? Forget it. I’ll tell him then. No, Brother. I… I was drunk that day. If you were drunk, your signature doesn’t count. Besides, I didn’t take the agreement. I’ve pressed five of my finger prints. Now you tell me it doesn’t count? Are you kidding me? No, Brother. I just find it strange. I’ve been begging you for so long but you didn’t agree. Why are you suddenly agreeable? Grandpa. Granny. Do you have anyone to accompany you to the doctor usually? No, they don’t have time. The kids are too busy. Of course. Would you go to a nursing home if there’s one near home? Would you go there? What kind of nursing home? Is the environment good? I’m collecting your opinions now. If you fill in a questionnaire for me, I will go to the market for you for free. I’d buy side dishes for you. They’re fresh. For one week. You don’t need to buy side dishes. What if they’re not fresh? Grandpa, ask around. All the vendors nearby. Upon hearing my name, Feng Xiaoqin, every one of them would bring their freshest side dishes out for sale. You can do high-end, medium-end and low-end. You own a nursing home. There are nurses inside. Aunties there, right? The medical facilities are good too. You’d be happy there too. My conscience spoke to me. You’re the one who was sticking to me. I couldn’t get rid of you. I had no choice but to agree. Also, you said nursing homes are 100% profitable. If it doesn’t make money, I wouldn’t have agreed. Maybe it won’t make money initially. I didn’t expect this to happen suddenly. How are these old people? They’re fine. After taking the medicine and having the runs, they’re okay. I’m relieved. I have to tell you, I can’t bring you food anymore. Be careful when you order takeout in the future. If you don’t bring us food, what are we going to do? Take this and take a look. It’s a 50% discount coupon. I plan to open an eldergarten. An eldergarten? There are kindergartens for children. I’m doing this for you old people like you. Your son doesn’t care about you. He doesn’t care if you have food or if you’re taken care of. You can come here. It should be near Wanziyuan. It’s not far from your place. Take a look. If you’re interested, I’ll give you a discount on the first year. [Eldergarten] [50% off coupon] [Authorized by Feng Xiaoqin] You wrote this by hand? How many have you given out? Just seven or eight. That’s not logical. You haven’t even opened the place. Why did you give out this leaflet? You don’t understand. This is called positioning, you know? Look at those movies. Even before filming, they do some marketing so people will know there is such a movie. It won’t be unfamiliar when it’s released. You are the one who doesn’t understand. The first step to business is to find a good location.
