🎬 Synopsis: In his longing to see his children, Grandpa Liu goes as far as faking an illness, only to be met with blame. Having both a son and a daughter, he once believed he could rely on them in his old age, but he soon realizes that they are too busy with their own lives to care for him. Disheartened, he decides to sell his house and move into a retirement home. Buyers come and go—some bargain, some argue—but no one ever asks how he feels. Until a young couple arrives, and with just a few words, they deeply move Grandpa Liu…

In a small, cold, northern city,
there is such a story.
Every time I think back on it,
my heart is always filled with warmth.
Do you remember the days of Golden September and Silver October?
At that time, we had deals one after another.
Now the overall economy is not good.
Every industry is a challenge,
especially real estate.
I no longer fantasize about making big money.
As long as I can keep this job,
I would consider myself lucky.
Everyone, the year-end is approaching, isn't it?
Can we all put in some extra effort and make a final push?
Sure.
Haven't the experts already said that
the real estate market is hopeless now?
What's the point of us struggling like this?
And look, there are no customers.
Exactly, they don't even answer phone calls.
It's better to take an early break and go home for the holidays.
What kind of attitude is this?
All of you.
Before the end of the year, everyone must complete one deal.
Whoever finishes first gets the bonus.
Hello.
Is this Hejia Real Estate?
Yes.
Hello, Sir.
What do you mean, Sir?
At my age, I could be your grandfather.
Then please have a seat, Grandpa.
Here.
Alright.
Please sit down.
Hello, Sir.
Are you looking to buy, sell, or rent?
I want to sell a house.
You've come to the right place.
Ms. Wu is our top sales representative.
She'll take great care of you.
Ok.
Sir,
have some water.
It's cold outside.
This water is hot.
Drink slowly.
Let's have a chat.
Alright.
Sir, may I have your surname?
My surname is Liu.
Grandpa Liu.
Which neighborhood do you live in?
I live in Xinning.
The house is old,
but it's quite spacious.
It's a three-bedroom house.
I'm familiar with the three-bedroom houses in Xinning.
I know their layout very well.
It's nice and square.
Yes.
My wife and I
have lived there for over 20 years.
We raised our children there.
Most of our lives were spent there.
Now,
my son and daughter
have both moved out and started their own families.
Is that so?
Last year, my wife also passed away.
So I've been thinking.
It's just me,
lonely and guarding that big house all by myself.
It's not very meaningful.
Why not just sell it
and move to a retirement residence instead?
Retirement homes are good.
They now have excellent facilities.
Selling the house to fund senior living is the trend.
Sir,
is your name the only one on the property deed?
You don't need to inform the kids when selling the house?
Why do I need to inform them?
The house is in my name.
They don't visit me often anyway.
When they finally do come,
it's as if I'm begging them.
Don't worry, I can make the decision to sell the house.
Sir, you're very decisive.
So when do you have time?
Let's go take a look at the house.
You seem
to handle things quite reliably.
Are you available today?
Of course!
The client always comes first!
Hurry up and go look at the house.
Sir, don't hesitate to let Ms. Wu know of any requests.
Hejia Real Estate will definitely make you satisfied.
This must be the manager, right?
Yes, this is our manager.
With your words,
I can rest assured.
Sure!
Ms. Wu, go with the sir to look at the house.
Don't drive too fast.
Yes, Manager Wang.
Then let's go, Mr. Liu.
Ok.
Goodbye, Sir.
Goodbye.
My intuition says
this deal is definitely going to happen.
Manager, you can't always spoil Wu like this.
You send her all the deals.
Exactly.
You guys should be more proactive.
You always look like you're on your deathbed here.
Look at how diligent Wu is.
Doing business is all about seizing opportunities.
Let me tell you,
by the end of the year, if each of you don’t bring in five clients,
then don't bother working here.
Isn't it obvious favoritism?
Exactly.
As one grows old,
it's better to have children around.
I don't even know how they are doing lately.
I really miss them.
Hey, Dad.
Yuanning,
Dad has been feeling a bit unwell lately.
Can you find some time to visit?
What's wrong?
Is it your old stomach problem acting up again,
or is it your heart?
Heart.
The old problem has flared up again.
These past two days, my heart has been racing especially hard,
I can't even get out of bed.
Ok,
I'll handle the things on my plate and come back.
Ok.
By the way, what's wrong with your brother's number?
I can't get through.
Alright, I'll call him in a bit.
Ok.
Look. My store has all kinds of health supplements.
It’s what makes us so popular.
Especially this Puritang Black Ginseng here.
Listen.
This thing is really nourishing.
We're almost sold out here.
Check it out.
Hey, sis, what's up?
Hey, bro.
Dad just called and said his coronary heart disease flared up.
Hurry up and get ready.
We'll head back soon.
Is it serious?
If not, can you go back and check on him first?
I have to deliver orders this afternoon.
I can’t just leave.
What are you saying?
He can't even get out of bed.
Hurry and get ready.
I'm coming over right now.
Ugh, fine.
So, should I wrap one up for you?
Sure.
You got it.
Hurry up.
I know.
Dad, I'm back.
Dad.
My daughter and son are back at the same time.
What's going on?
This is great!
Dad, aren't you ill?
I'm not sick.
Dad, if you're sick, you must tell us.
Don't hide it from us.
Don't worry.
I simply miss you both.
Dad, this isn't funny.
As soon as you mentioned you were sick,
I haven't even had a sip of water.
I rushed over right away.
Are you kidding us?
Today, I had
so many meetings.
I rescheduled everything.
Aren't you delaying my work?
I rushed over here in a hurry.
You just said it's nothing and left us here.
Exactly.
I'm not criticizing you, Dad.
My business
really doesn't allow me to step away.
If I stop for a day,
I lose a day's worth of revenue.
You see, this fuss you're making,
how much money am I going to lose?
Yeah, Dad.
If you're bored,
why don't you go out for a walk?
If it really doesn't work,
just give us a video call.
Video call?
In these past few months,
how many times have I video called you?
Did you pick up?
Every time it's just busy, busy, busy.
Tell me, do you still think of me as your dad?
Or are you thinking that
you just popped out from between the rocks?
Dad,
it's not that we don't want to visit.
Sometimes you also need to consider us.
My business has just gotten on track,
I can't step away easily.
Yeah.
We work so hard every day.
It's fine if you don't support us.
But you’re even holding us back.
Just look at you,
learning to deceive at your age.
Yeah.
Right,
I lied to you both.
I should support you and not hold you back.
It's my fault for missing you too much.
I just want you to spend more time with me.
I'll admit that it's my fault.
Since you all are back,
let's have a meal together.
Don't just stand there,
sit down.
Hold on.
Hello?
Ok, I'll be back right away.
Dad, look, you don't have anything going on here.
I have to rush back to the store.
Sis,
stay here and have a meal with Dad.
What?
I still have meetings at the company.
You stay and have dinner with Dad.
I'm leaving.
Dad,
I'll see you during the New Year.
Why did you leave faster than me?
Dad, don't do this again in the future.
Come on.
Leave.
Just leave.
Don't come back again.
Mr. Liu, the one coming soon
is a big shot.
Her last name is Wei.
She has very deep pockets.
President Wei, this is the place.
Please come this way.
They're here.
Yeah.
Ms. Huang.
Ms. Wu, I brought someone to see the house.
Please come in.
Please come in, President Wei.
Mr. Liu,
let me introduce you.
Ok.
Let's first look at the house.
Ok.
This is a standard three-bedroom house.
Three bedrooms and one living room.
They're all very spacious.
Let me show you the backyard.
Look how spacious this backyard is.
Come, let's take a look.
The surrounding environment is particularly good.
This backyard is quite large.
A swimming pool can be built here.
President Wei,
now that you've seen the inside and outside of the house,
what do you think?
I finished viewing the house.
It is an old house.
This layout
is not the most ideal.
If I buy this house,
this wall must be torn down first.
Make a note of it.
Ok.
Build a swimming pool in the backyard.
That little flower bed is of no use. Remove it.
President Wei,
is this house for your own use,
or for investment?
Of course it's for investment.
How could I live in a place like this?
That little flower bed
was made by the original homeowner and his wife.
It was quite the effort.
If I buy it,
then I get to decide what to do with this house, right?
Mister, Ms.
please come in.
Sir, Madam, please.
Come inside.
This house is
a three-bedroom bungalow,
especially suitable for families with elderly and children.
How is it? Each room is of decent size, right?
It's not decorated to my taste.
But this is
a finely decorated place,
plus, it's in a great school district.
We need to let the lovely children start off on the right foot, right?
Sir, please come in.
This house,
how can it be for sale at such a high price?
This is indeed a finely decorated, good school district house.
If I buy this house,
my pals would look down on me.
Yeah, bro.
Let's keep looking.
Yeah.
Hello.
Please come in, be careful.
Please come inside.
This is the kitchen.
See how big the kitchen is?
This is where the main bedrooms are.
This house has three bedrooms.
There is also an independent bathroom.
The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and shower.
How is it? Nice?
It's good, but it's just too expensive.
It's great value for the price.
Isn't it?
Let's take a look at the living room.
Please come in.
Look how spacious this living room is.
This big picture window
provides wonderful lighting.
Let me tell you.
In winter,
when the sun shines in,
it's so warm and cozy,
you don't even need to turn on the heating.
Dad, this house is really nice.
All my classmates already have houses.
Except for us.
Yeah, just buy it.
Dad
doesn't have that much money now.
Let's go take a look at other houses.
We've seen dozens of houses.
Look, look and then won't buy.
Sis, let's go.
No matter how many houses he looks at, he won't buy one.
Let's go.
It's ok.
At this age,
it's normal to have a bit of temper.
Can you help me find some houses with a lower price?
Sure, no problem.
We have all kinds of housing options available here.
Thank you so much.
Let's return to the office and I can introduce others to you.
Ok.
Sir, Ms.
As soon as this house came on the market,
I called you right away.
The ones we looked at before are not as good as this location.
This area is zoned,
and both the elementary and middle schools are great schools.
Others are trying hard to get in but can't.
Yeah, aren't we just aiming for a top school district house?
Our relatives and friends
have all moved into good school districts.
If we don't buy a house in a good school district,
won't others look down upon us?
What's there to worry?
Isn't this the place?
Once we buy this house,
our child will also attend a top middle school.
Dear,
listen.
Let's first sell our car,
then I'll borrow 200,000 from my dad,
and then go to the bank for another 200,000 loan.
That's the down payment, right?
Isn't it too much pressure for us?
We can't even afford to eat...
It's ok.
I'll work
overtime at night.
Your eyes are already 800 degrees
and you want to work more?
800 is nothing.
Listen,
for the sake of our child,
it's worth it even if my eyes get to 1000 degrees.
Don't you agree?
From now on, I'll live a poor life with you.
No way.
Ms. Wu,
we sincerely
want this house.
You see,
we've borrowed from all our relatives
just to gather this down payment.
So this price,
can you give us a little discount?
Yeah.
We're both regular working class individuals
with elderly and children to take care of.
With the mortgage in the future,
the pressure is too much.
Right.
I know it's not easy for you,
but the homeowner's asking price isn't high either.
Although the housing market isn't great right now,
top school district houses retain value very well.
There are many people wanting to buy now.
Ms. Wu,
President Wei is here.
Hello, President Wei.
Welcome.
President Wei wants to sign the contract today
to buy that house in Xinning.
She wants to discuss the payment details with us.
Today?
That's great!
President Wei,
over the past two days, many people have come to see that house,
including these two.
They are also interested in that house.
Why is it that whenever I like a house,
so many people come to see it?
These two aren't your hired actors, are they?
What are you talking about?
You think you're above others just because you have money?
Who're you calling an actor?
Exactly,
we are here to buy a house.
Don't think I don't know your tricks.
President Wei, it's really a misunderstanding.
We provide honest service.
Besides, these two arrived here first.
Right, see this?
The contract is right here.
How dare you compete with me for a house?
There’s nothing I can’t buy with money.
Isn’t it just money?
Listen.
Today, I’ll raise the offer by 100,000.
100,000? That’s insane!
Calm down a bit.
Let’s sit down and discuss.
Wait.
Let me finish.
The price has already been agreed upon.
On what basis are you quoting a different amount?
Huh?
Based on my financial strength.
Ms. Wu,
President Wei is a serious buyer.
She can sign the contract today.
Can they sign it?
Who do you look down on?
Add 100,000…
Ms. Wu, we'll also add 100,000.
Where are we going to get that much money?
It's fine.
We can just sell our old place back home.
You little rascal, trying to compete with me.
I'll add 200,000.
Alright.
Enough.
Stop competing with her.
Don't stop me.
For my daughter,
I'll add 200,000 too.
Adding so much money…
How are we going to live in the future?
We'll be living in poverty.
Your real estate agency has no code of conduct.
You can't just sell to whoever offers the highest bid.
Call your manager over.
Manager.
I heard you all having such a lively discussion.
What's going on?
You're the manager?
Yes. I am the manager.
How may I help you?
Resolve this matter for us.
What's going on here?
Manager Wang,
President Wei wants to add 200,000 to the offer for Mr. Liu's house.
But these two clients also want to buy that place.
Between them, they have some differing opinions.
Everyone wants to buy the house of their dreams.
That's great.
You agree, right,
President Wei?
Since both parties have so much sincerity,
Ms. Wu will go ask the homeowner.
Let the homeowner decide, ok?
Ok, Manager.
No objections?
Fine, I have no objections.
How about you?
Let's wait for the homeowner's reply.
Good.
I’m not afraid of you.
Dear,
don't blame me for selling this house.
I have no choice.
However,
if the right buyers don’t appear,
I won't sell it.
Mr. Liu,
that President Wei and that couple
both have their eyes on your house. The school district is great.
They're competing fiercely.
They're determined to buy the house.
Guess what?
They are willing to increase their offer by
this number.
200,000?
What do you think?
Ms. Wu,
to be honest with you,
the more they act like this,
the more I feel
a bit awkward in my heart.
I've lived here
for 20 years after all.
I have sentiments.
That's for sure.
This house…
It also has spirit.
Yes.
As soon as I heard them
wanting to tear this and that down,
my heart felt
a lot of pain.
I understand, I understand.
I get it.
These past two days,
I've been walking around this house inside and out,
thinking and thinking again.
I really feel a bit reluctant to sell it.
But what can I do?
It's ok,
Mr. Liu.
Why don't you think it over again,
or we can wait for other buyers?
That works too.
Someone's here.
I'll go open the door.
Ok.
Hello,
are you Mr. and Ms. Chen?
Yes.
Please come in.
Thank you.
Come in.
Come in.
Mr. Liu,
let me introduce you.
Ok.
This is Mr. Liu,
the homeowner.
Hello, Mr. Liu,
Hello everyone.
Mr. Liu,
this is Mr. and Ms. Chen.
They are company executives and social elites.
Feel free to look around.
Thanks.
I'll show them around.
Ok.
Sorry to bother you.
Thank you.
Please, this way.
Be careful, it's slippery.
Ok.
The layout of this backyard is really nice.
The neighbors are also very nice.
In winter, it's actually very charming,
You can set up a small tent and have a romantic time.
That's true.
I like it here.
What do you think? Not bad, right?
It's pretty good, thank you.
The backyard is quite large.
Yeah, it's pretty nice.
Mr. Liu, we're done viewing.
All done?
Yes.
Sir,
this house of yours
is particularly good because it's square-shaped.
Yes, Mr. Liu.
The layout of your house is really nice.
As long as you like it.
As long as the young people like it.
Mr. Liu,
your house looks so comfortable.
Why do you want to sell it?
Yeah.
Miss,
I live a sad life.
To be honest with you,
I
do not want to sell this house.
But my children see me as a burden,
as a nuisance.
How can I not feel hurt inside?
This house,
I really can't bear to part with it.
But,
I still have to sell it.
I've thought it through.
Once this house is sold,
I'll move to a retirement home
and make do with it.
Mr. Liu,
please calm down.
I think that your children
are just too busy with work,
and under too much pressure.
Please cool down first.
At this age,
health is the most important thing.
Right.
Mr. Liu,
you must not get agitated.
Let's just be happy all the time.
It's better than anything else.
Right?
Look at them.
These youngsters are eloquent.
My heart feels
much lighter.
Great!
If my two kids can be like you guys,
then everything will be fine.
Things will definitely improve.
Mr. Liu,
you must not get agitated.
Let's just be happy all the time.
It's better than anything else.
Our company has always adhered to operating with integrity.
So our performance last year
was completed very well by all departments.
Clients
also expressed great satisfaction with our cooperation.
Let's continue to work hard this year
to achieve even better results.
How about it?
Ok, General Manager Chen.
No problem.
Good.
Then today's meeting will end here.
Meeting adjourned.
Chen Ming,
Yaxin,
Ms. Wu from Hejia Real Estate just called me.
She said that she scheduled a meeting
for us with Mr. Liu.
Good.
Let's go.
I don't know if Mr. Liu can accept this proposal.
Let's discuss it with him.
Mr. Liu seems quite friendly.
Mr. Liu,
I invited you here today
because Mr. Chen and his wife
have something to discuss with you.
What's on your mind?
I'm all ears.
Mr. Liu,
we heard that
other buyers
were willing to increase the offer by 200,000 to buy your house.
There's no need.
No need to increase the offer.
Don't worry.
If you want to buy,
and can offer the original price,
I will be very happy already.
For young people,
it's not easy to make money.
I was initially worried that you wouldn't buy.
Yeah.
Mr. Liu told me,
the first time he saw you,
he felt that you were different from the others.
Mr. Liu,
we think this price is reasonable.
Moreover,
we can afford it as well.
Right,
it's worth the value.
That day,
after hearing about your situation,
we went back and discussed it a bit.
You see,
you're already so familiar with the house.
Moving out to live in a retirement home suddenly
will definitely be hard to adapt to.
So,
if you are willing,
when we buy this house,
you can continue to live there.
There's no need to move out.
Right.
I don't have to move out?
Did I hear that right?
Right.
I don't have to move out?
No.
How can I accept this?
No way.
This absolutely won't do.
We are sincere.
We just want to treat you like a family elder.
We just want to treat you like family.
I can't believe I encountered
something so amazing in this world.
You can continue to stay in your own bedroom,
and do whatever you like to do.
We can look out for each other.
If you don't mind,
we can make an extra portion when we cook.
You can just join us
and we'll eat together. How does it sound?
What do I have to complain about?
That day when you were viewing the house,
I felt that you were fit to be the owners of this house.
Mr. Liu, it's agreed then.
From now on, we are family.
Mr. Liu,
what are you still hesitating about?
This is such a good thing!
Kids…
Thank you.
Thank you.
You're welcome, Mr. Liu.
Mr. Liu, take a look at this exercise diagram.
These 5 sets of exercises are easy to learn.
I'll teach you one set every day.
You'll learn it quickly.
Moreover, practicing this is especially good for your health.
Then let me give it a try and practice with you.
Sure, Mr. Liu.
Then shall we start in a bit?
Why wait?
Let's begin now.
You're gone.
Come on, it's your turn.
Ok.
I'll go here.
Let's go big this turn.
I…
Checkmate.
Mr. Liu,
you won.
You're not bad either.
Thank you.
You've improved.
Thank you, Mr. Liu.
Mr. Liu,
Sir,
have some tea.
Ok.
I'll take it.
Ok, thank you.
You're welcome.
Here, Mr. Liu.
Ok,
thank you.
Sir,
please enjoy some tea.
Thank you.
Mr. Liu,
I'll go help with dinner.
Sir, please stay tonight
and taste our cooking.
Good,
I'm in for a treat.
Thank you both.
It's nothing.
Look at this young couple.
How wonderful!
Yeah.
Sit.
Just now,
if it weren't for Chen holding back a step,
you would have lost already.
Don't think I didn't notice.
That young man
was just trying to make this old man happy.
Now that you have a new chess friend,
you've forgotten your old one.
How could that be?
Brother.
Where did you get such great fortune?
Whatever you want to eat,
they make it for you.
You even have someone to play chess with you.
You've practically hit the jackpot.
I also didn't expect that
at this age,
I can start to enjoy a good life.
Come on, let's play chess.
Chen went easy on you,
I won't go easy.
Come on.
Come.
Son, how have you been lately?
Pretty good.
It's almost the New Year.
Your mom and I are far away.
We won't be able to meet.
You two celebrate the New Year well, got it?
Got it, Dad.
Don't worry.
Son, Happy New Year!
Mom and dad miss you so much.
Stay happy in the New Year.
Got it.
Treat Yaxin better.
Her parents were persecuted to death.
It's not easy for a girl.
Take good care of her.
Ok.
Have a joyful New Year.
Got it.
Your mom and I are getting ready to eat.
Goodbye, Son.
Bye, Mom and Dad.
Bye.
Dad and mom called.
Alright,
goodbye, Dad.
They are always thinking about us.
They're so far away but they still think of us.
Thanks to them.
They're so far away but they still think of us.
Chen Ming,
Let’s go.
Ok.
Are the items for the retirement home all packed?
They are in the car already.
Alright,
then let's go.
Director Zhang is waiting for us.
Ok.
It's a two-hour drive.
Let's go,
Everyone look,
Mr. Chen has brought us delicious foods again.
Look,
what beautiful mushrooms.
Thank you, Mr. Chen.
And there's rice, apples and longan.
Thank you, Mr. Chen.
Heavenly Law spreads across the universe, purifying all.
Buddha's light shines upon the world, righting the cosmos.
Dafa brings blessings.
Amazing!
This is for you.
Yes.
That's great.
A lot of progress.
Thank you, little teacher.
Mr. Chen.
Director.
Mr. Chen is great at chess.
Please guide them more.
Sure, Director.
Thank you, Director.
Mr. Chen,
do come often.
We all miss you a lot.
Alright, Grandma.
Don't worry, we'll come to see you whenever we have time.
Thank you.
Don't worry, they will come often.
They will be back soon.
Right.
Don't worry, we will come to see you often.
Great!
The New Year
is the time when my business is most prosperous.
But I have to close the shop to celebrate the New Year back home.
No matter how you calculate it, it's a loss.
Aren't I in the same situation?
I'm so busy I can't even catch my breath.
Last time we rushed home in a hurry,
and nothing happened at all.
I almost lost a big client because of that.
It really made me mad.
Next year, I really won't go back home.
Exactly, Dear,
we need to visit my side of the family for the next New Year.
Dad!
Dad, we're back.
Dad.
You've all returned.
We're here.
This car and the drive…
Sit down, sit down.
I'll drive on the way back.
Come, sit down.
Dad, sit.
Let me tell you, Dad.
If it weren't for the New Year,
we really wouldn't have time to come back.
Yeah, the shop is so busy, my goodness.
I still have a lot of outstanding things to do at work.
I'm so busy I can't handle it.
That's right.
I know that's what you're thinking.
Since you're so busy,
why did you come back then?
Just go do what you need to do.
Don't worry about this old man.
Hey Dad,
what are you saying?
Yeah.
Our good intentions are taken for granted.
Yeah, to say that during New Year's…
These must be your children and spouses, right?
I heard that you were coming back a while ago.
Hello everyone.
Who are they?
Let me introduce you.
They are the new owners of this house.
What?
Dad, what's going on here?
Didn't you say you have no time to take care of me?
Then I sold this house,
thinking I might as well go live in a retirement home.
But the Chen couple not only let me stay,
they also didn't give me a penny less.
They've been taking care of me.
Where can you find such good people?
Mr. Liu, that's an overstatement.
Dad,
you didn't even discuss such an important matter with us.
Right.
I think you were deceived by those two.
Exactly.
They're just eyeing your pension.
First, they treat you well,
wait until you're senile,
then take away your money.
Say something, will you?
I need to warn you.
This kind of pie falling from the sky
is either a disaster or a trap.
You two, hurry up and leave.
Stop!
Nobody move!
Although they're not my biological children,
but compared to them,
you two leave much to be desired.
Dad,
are you disowning us?
Brother,
we can't go on like this.
It's not what you think.
Then what?
I can fully understand your feelings.
Actually, our parents are not by our side either,
so we treat Mr. Liu
as if he were our own elder.
Right.
If we have done something wrong,
you can point it out.
Dad, there must be some trick in this.
How about this?
Let's call uncle over to intervene.
Only uncle can persuade Dad.
Ok, go call uncle.
The boss is here. Everyone, applaud.
Greetings, everyone.
How're you, Boss?
That check, give it to them.
Sure, Boss.
Thank you, Boss.
Wu, come here. This is the reward from the boss.
Thank you, Boss.
Thank you, everyone.
Boss, there's also the speech.
Ok.
I came from Taiwan to invest in a real estate consulting company.
It's been 5 years.
Although the market is not very good this year,
our Hejia Real Estate has worked together from top to bottom.
The sales performance is really good.
Applaud here…
Come on, clap!
Applaud.
I'm not well-educated,
but I have money.
You guys don't laugh at me, ok.
We won't laugh at you.
Why would we do that?
Your branch
is really something.
You deserve credit.
So I have decided
to award this year's All-Star Branch Award
to you all.
Thank you, Boss.
Rest assured, we will work hard next year.
We'll double the revenue.
Do you have confidence?
Yes.
Applaud.
And there is a Ms. Wu in your branch.
Boss,
this is Ms. Wu.
Ms. Wu.
Hello, Boss.
You are Ms. Wu?
Yes.
Ms. Wu,
I have received many letters of appreciation.
You are very enthusiastic and
your sales record is superb.
Everyone should learn from Ms. Wu.
Boss, you're flattering me.
Thank you, Boss.
Thank you, Ms. Wu.
Thank you, Boss.
Clap.
Give some applause.
So everyone,
we need to be practical and
perform our service well.
Only then
can we win the long-term support of our customers.
Got it?
Yeah!
Applaud.
The restaurant…
Have you booked it?
The Royal Grand.
Boss, the reservation is made already.
In a moment,
it's my treat.
Let's go eat.
The boss is treating.
Applaud!
Thank you, Boss.
You're welcome.
Hello, Uncle! Happy New Year!
Take your time, Uncle.
Watch it.
Hello, Uncle. Happy New Year!
Uncle, please come in.
Sir.
Go away.
Dad,
Uncle is here.
My little brother,
have a seat.
Uncle, please have a seat.
Hello, Sir.
Why are you still here?
Didn't I tell you to get lost?
Sir, we'll excuse ourselves for now.
No need, just stay here.
Watch your mouth.
Uncle, would you like to drink premium Longjing tea,
or would you prefer Tieguanyin?
Uncle, do you want to smoke Zhonghua or foreign cigarettes?
Enough.
Thank you both.
It's the New Year.
As usual,
Uncle will give you red envelopes.
Thank you, Uncle.
Here, this is yours.
Thank you, Uncle.
This is yours.
Thank you, Uncle.
Yours.
Thank you, Uncle.
And this is yours.
Thank you, Uncle.
This is for the two of you.
Thank you, Sir.
We shouldn't accept this.
We can't take this, Sir.
When I give something, you must accept it.
Take it.
Thank you, Sir.
Thank you, Sir.
Uncle, why did you give one to them?
Yeah, Uncle. This is unfair.
Why is their red envelope thicker than ours?
Yeah.
Right, Uncle.
I only have 1,000.
They must have 5,000, right?
Hand it over.
Look, Uncle. They have so much.
Give it back to them.
No!
You deadbeat.
Give it back to them.
I won't return it.
Uncle, you treated me the best when I was little.
You often gave me piggyback rides
and always gave me money to spend.
Why have you changed now?
Yeah, Uncle,
I remember also.
Sir, it's ok. We don't need it.
Right, Sir.
Hangzi, don't be a sore loser.
Go away. I'm not returning it.
Will you listen to me?
Or do you want me to repossess your storefront?
Is this how you treat the benefactor of the Liu family?
Benefactor?
You're not aware.
They not only deceived my dad,
they even seized our house.
How can you side with outsiders?
I called you here today to have you judge the matter.
That's right, Uncle.
You have to give us a fair judgment.
Little Brother, just say what's on your mind.
Fine. I'll decide who's in the right.
First, return the money to them.
Listen to Uncle.
Here.
Take it.
Hold on to it.
I don't know what to say about you kids.
You don't know what's good for you.
Uncle, what are you saying?
Don't touch me.
You only care about making money.
You only think about yourselves.
Tell me, how many times do you come back in a year?
Have you visited your dad?
No, Uncle.
We didn't say we wouldn't come back.
It's just that we're busy,
so we don't have time.
Yeah.
No time.
You guys are busy, but they're not?
You're the biological children and you don't care.
This couple worked for their savings, bought this house,
and still let your dad live here.
They take care of him,
play chess with him,
buy this and buy that for him.
I've been here many times.
I've seen it all with my eyes.
Isn't that just an act?
Who knows what they're really thinking…
Yeah, Uncle, they might just be putting on a show.
You can't say that.
You guys try coming back every day to take care of your dad.
Can you do it?
Yet, you guys want to drive them away.
Dear, look.
Isn't this oppressing kind people?
Uncle, they practice Falun Gong, right?
What's wrong with Falun Gong?
Look, your dad learned Falun Gong and
his health has improved.
How much medical expense have you saved?
Looking at his complexion…
It does seem to be better than before.
Shut up.
When you meet such kind people,
this must be good karma from a previous lifetime of generosity.
It's so rare nowadays.
You guys should enjoy it,
and count your blessings.
Now that I've said it,
you're clear what the situation is, right?
Putting it in perspective,
we are busy all year round.
If Dad has someone taking care of him,
isn't it great?
Besides, they don't look like bad people.
Brother-in-law, no offense.
I think sister-in-law made a good point.
Then I'll warn you.
If you really have any ulterior motives towards my dad,
I won't forgive you.
Exactly, my sister will scratch people.
Alright.
You guys should reflect on yourselves.
Chen, don’t mind them.
They are sharp-tongued but kind-hearted.
You'll know in the future.
Little Brother,
it's the New Year's.
Let's not talk about these things.
Ok, that's enough.
Let's celebrate the New Year happily.
Yeah.
Ok.
Dumplings are ready!
Mr. Liu, Sir, please eat!
You two sit down and eat too.
I still have one dish to finish.
You guys eat first.
Yaxin, you've been busy all day, sit down and eat.
Yeah, sit.
Alright, Mr. Liu.
Let's eat together.
It's delicious!
Yaxin, these dumplings are really good.
Wish everyone a Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
The story ends here.
Hopefully everyone can meet such kind people.
I wish everyone happiness and joy.
