00:00:00Get some on it!
00:00:02Get bigger!
00:00:13Whose child are you? Where did you come from?
00:00:16Shui Shui brought Sisi here.
00:00:19Then where are your parents?
00:00:20I don't know.
00:00:22Where are you going then?
00:00:23I don't know.
00:00:25Hey Manchang, what are you doing?
00:00:27Don't just pick things up out of the river!
00:00:33You're really taking her home?
00:00:35Or should I let her freeze to death?
00:00:37And you're taking in a freeloader?
00:00:39And you're taking in a freeloader?
00:00:40Sisi isn't a freeloader.
00:00:45Are you going out on the river tonight or not?
00:00:47Don't go. The boat will tip over.
00:00:50Don't jinx it.
00:00:51He's not nice.
00:00:55Da Zi, who is she?
00:00:57Shisi.
00:00:58I was so mean.
00:01:00Who's mean?
00:01:03Where'd this little girl come from?
00:01:05Pulled her out of the river.
00:01:06Why is she so cold?
00:01:09Mama.
00:01:10Don't call her that!
00:01:11Whoever holds Shisi is Mama.
00:01:15Get you washed up first.
00:01:17We don't want you getting sick.
00:01:20Mom, we don't have any food left.
00:01:22I know.
00:01:23Dad hasn't caught a fish in three days.
00:01:26I know that too.
00:01:27Why are we taking her in?
00:01:29She can eat less.
00:01:31This teeny bit.
00:01:33Why aren't you eating?
00:01:35Does everyone get some?
00:01:36Yes.
00:01:42I don't want yours.
00:01:44It's not for you.
00:01:45Then why'd you put it by me?
00:01:47I put it in front of you.
00:01:48So it's yours.
00:01:51It's good.
00:01:53It's just plain rice porridge.
00:01:54What's so good about it?
00:01:55It's warm.
00:01:56Dee used to eat it cold.
00:02:00I can't eat this much.
00:02:03Then we'll each have half.
00:02:05Jiaoyun, who's talking in there?
00:02:11I'm Shisi.
00:02:13How old are you?
00:02:15Four.
00:02:16Five finger.
00:02:18Is this wrong?
00:02:19We'll have to teach this child to count all over again.
00:02:27Granny, you can't drink that.
00:02:29Why not?
00:02:31It'll make your tummy hurt.
00:02:33Who told you that?
00:02:35Shui shui.
00:02:37Who's a shui shui?
00:02:38Water is shui shui.
00:02:40They can say all sorts of things.
00:02:48Maolin says the rain will hit the shore after midnight.
00:02:52The wind feels wrong tonight.
00:02:55We're out of rice.
00:02:58I'm not going.
00:02:59Cici's not going.
00:03:02You were going anyway.
00:03:04Shui shui hurts.
00:03:05Where does it hurt?
00:03:06The bite will get swollen there.
00:03:08Cici, what did you hear?
00:03:10Shui shui says it hurts.
00:03:12Daddy, don't go.
00:03:13That girl knows her own mind.
00:03:14Let's listen to her this once.
00:03:16We won't go tonight.
00:03:18There'll be fish tomorrow.
00:03:20Lots of...
00:03:21Alright.
00:03:22We'll go see you in the morning.
00:03:23What if there aren't any?
00:03:25Then Cici won't eat.
00:03:26Go to sleep.
00:03:27No sneaking out.
00:03:28Understand?
00:03:35Help!
00:03:37Help!
00:03:38Mon Kong, save me!
00:03:40Maolin, grab the rope!
00:03:42Don't let go.
00:03:43What?
00:03:44Pull me up!
00:03:45Whirlpool down there!
00:03:49Xiao Yun!
00:03:50Come give me a hand!
00:03:51Coming!
00:03:52Mon Kong!
00:03:52Put together!
00:03:54Pull!
00:03:54Don't let go!
00:03:56Dibbit!
00:03:56If you got the breath to yell, swim to shore!
00:04:01I told you this afternoon, the wind was turning.
00:04:04I said don't go in!
00:04:05But you wouldn't listen!
00:04:06Over a few fish!
00:04:07You nearly got yourself killed!
00:04:08What about your wife and kids?
00:04:10How are they supposed to get by?
00:04:14Brother, Mon Kong!
00:04:15I really thought I wasn't coming back today.
00:04:17When I got pulled into that whirlpool,
00:04:18I was already thinking about where they'd bury me.
00:04:21If you hadn't pulled me out,
00:04:22I'd have been down for in that river.
00:04:25Um...
00:04:25Oh hey, oh hey!
00:04:26You're a grown man!
00:04:26Quit bawling like a stuck pig!
00:04:28Let it go!
00:04:28And I'll share this alcohol home!
00:04:29And change some dry clothes!
00:04:29You didn't drown!
00:04:30And I'm not about to let you freeze to death at my door!
00:04:32I'm not buying you a coffin!
00:04:34Brother, Mon Kong!
00:04:35I won't say anything else!
00:04:36First thing tomorrow,
00:04:37I'll save you the best!
00:04:38Next spot at Huishui Bay,
00:04:39no one's taking it from you!
00:04:41Worry about keeping.
00:04:42Yourself alive first.
00:04:44If you two don't head back now,
00:04:46you'll both be laid up in bed tomorrow.
00:04:50Brother, Mon Kong!
00:04:51Over here!
00:04:51I got here before dawn!
00:04:53And saved this spot for you!
00:04:54Come on!
00:04:54Let's cast the nets!
00:04:56You saw I'd have the river last night.
00:04:57Why aren't you home in bed?
00:04:58What are you doing out here in this wind?
00:05:00I'm fine!
00:05:02Go on home.
00:05:03Keep this spot.
00:05:04What you lost, I'll cast my nets somewhere else.
00:05:06It'll be just as good.
00:05:07Brother, Mon Kong!
00:05:08Do you look down on me or something?
00:05:09When have I ever looked down on you?
00:05:11You saved my life last night!
00:05:13Even a scrub like me knows!
00:05:14What a life is worse!
00:05:16Stabbing you a spot!
00:05:17Is nothing!
00:05:18Come on over!
00:05:18Daddy!
00:05:19Don't go to Uncle Mullen's spot!
00:05:21Go over here!
00:05:22Sasi!
00:05:23Were there any fish here?
00:05:24I spent ages scooping with a basket here last year.
00:05:27Didn't catch!
00:05:28So much as a shrimp!
00:05:29Mon Kong!
00:05:29This place is all dead mud!
00:05:31If we cast the net, we'll probably just pull up a net full of rotten weeds!
00:05:35Zizi!
00:05:35There aren't any fish here!
00:05:37Yes, there are!
00:05:39Where are?
00:05:39Shui Shui is hungry!
00:05:41Zizi will give Shui Shui some food!
00:05:42Once Shui Shui is full, Shui Shui won't be mad anymore!
00:05:47All right!
00:05:49You're really listening to her?
00:05:51It's the first time my girl has spoken up!
00:05:53Shucheng Ji Jing Suo!
00:05:54And asked me to cast the net here!
00:05:55How could I, as her dad, not listen!
00:05:56Nothing to lose!
00:05:57Cast the net!
00:05:58Brother Mon Kong!
00:05:59You're really casting it in that lousy spot!
00:06:01This is Huishui Bay!
00:06:02It's the best spot!
00:06:03Keep it for yourself!
00:06:04And out to...
00:06:08Mon Kong!
00:06:09What a strong pull!
00:06:10Easy!
00:06:11Fish will get hurt!
00:06:13Xiao Yun!
00:06:14Xiao Shu!
00:06:14I've got a big one!
00:06:15It's heavy!

00:06:38Good heavens!
00:06:39I guarded the best spot all morning!
00:06:41And it still can't beat your muddy old hole!
00:06:42Daddy!

00:07:28Xiao Shu!

00:07:46This design isn't modern!

00:08:06water.

00:18:26Shui shui is crying.

00:18:34Shui shui, get your shoes on.
00:18:35Dad, what's going on?
00:18:37Don't ask yet.
00:18:42Maolin! Wang Maolin!
00:18:43Get up!
00:18:47Brother Hu, are we really dumping it in?
00:18:50Quit asking questions, Ba Xiao said.
00:18:53If he monk kong won't let him live in peace, he won't let her monk kong live in peace either.
00:18:57Don't bog his bags of lime in.
00:18:58Pour in the pesticide, and by morning,
00:19:01every fish in the pool will be dead.
00:19:03But there's something creepy about this pool.
00:19:06Creepy, my ass!
00:19:07It's just a filthy puddle.
00:19:08It's not gonna grow arms.
00:19:09And strangle you!
00:19:12Stop!
00:19:16Who's there?
00:19:19Wei Hu! I know it was you, you bastard!
00:19:27Hei monk kong, just in time.
00:19:28Hand it over.
00:19:34Brother monk kong!
00:19:35What's wrong with this pool?
00:19:38What the heck?
00:19:42Ouch!
00:19:43I'm burning up.
00:19:44This is freaky!
00:19:45Seriously freaky!
00:19:54I thought you didn't believe in this stuff.
00:19:56Go on, pour some more.
00:20:00Go tell Xiao Guangfa, this pond is secret.
00:20:03You tried to hurt it, and it'll come after you itself.
00:20:06Today, all you got was a few water blisters.
00:20:08Next time, you won't get off so easy.
00:20:12Run!
00:20:13Before that thing gets you!
00:20:15Daddy!
00:20:17What are you all doing here?
00:20:18The little one's dead set on coming.
00:20:20I couldn't stop her.
00:20:24Don't cry, Shui Shui!
00:20:26It's gone now!
00:20:32There, there!
00:20:36Brother monk kong!
00:20:39If Xiao Guangfa was ruthless enough to try at once, he'll try again.
00:20:44So what do we do?
00:20:46This time, fists won't be enough.
00:20:48We need to show him theirs.
00:20:50Still law in this country.
00:20:53Brother monk kong!
00:20:55Do you think the county magistrate will really help us?
00:20:58Whether he does or not, we have to go.
00:21:00We can't let let Xiao Guangfa.
00:21:01We can't let Xiao Guangfa hurt whoever he wants.
00:21:03We've got the facts on our side.
00:21:04What do we got to fear?
00:21:07Comrade Heimankang, the county magistrate will see you now.
00:21:10This way, every-
00:21:14Are you Heimankang from Huo Xun village?
00:21:17Yes.
00:21:19Have a seat down.
00:21:20I'll just stand.
00:21:22I've heard the basics.
00:21:23Tell me exactly.
00:21:24What happened from start to finish?
00:21:29Fubohan, village, was leased by me according to village rules.
00:21:32There are still three years left on the contract.
00:21:35Yesterday, Xiao Guangfa came to my house with 300 yuan.
00:21:38I tried to force me to hand the pool over to him.
00:21:41I refused.
00:21:41That very night, Ma Lao-san, one of his men, brought two others,
00:21:45and double iron and pesticide into the pool.
00:21:47Did you see it with your own eyes?
00:21:49I saw it too.
00:21:50On the magistrate.
00:21:51I just take my life, on it.
00:21:53It was Wei Hu.
00:21:55This is a joint statement signed by the villagers.
00:21:58Xiao Guangfa has been forcing people to buy and sell on its terms in town for years.
00:22:02Everyone used to put up with it to avoid trouble.
00:22:04But this time, he put pesticide in the water.
00:22:06The water the whole village depends on.
00:22:10Did you say came everything left from last night?
00:22:13Prints by the lime bags.
00:22:14And the pesticides.
00:22:15Bottles are all untouched.
00:22:16Good.
00:22:18Rageous!
00:22:19They actually dumped pe-
00:22:20Into the water just to grab a pond.
00:22:23Is this baseball or banditry?
00:22:25Notify the police.
00:22:26They're going to Huo Kuan village today to gather evidence.
00:22:30I put it against Xiao Guangfa over the years.
00:22:34Compartee men gang don't worry.
00:22:36If what you told us is true,
00:22:38no one can take a contract to land or
00:22:40gamble with the villagers' water and lives.
00:22:42Thank you, county magistrate.
00:22:44No need to thank me.
00:22:45It's our duty to follow the rules.
00:22:47But you did the right thing this time.
00:22:49You can't solve things like this with fists alone.
00:22:52You need evidence in hand and the law on your side.
00:22:57Why are you arresting me?
00:22:58Oh!
00:22:59I've been doing business in town for years.
00:23:01I'm a legitimate businessman.
00:23:03Xiao Guangfa, you had someone dumped pe-side.
00:23:05Liberally damaged property.
00:23:06Pollute the water.
00:23:07Who says I told anyone to dump?
00:23:09Where's your evidence?
00:23:10Boss Xiao, you can't just abandon us.
00:23:13Shut your mouth!
00:23:14But you were the one who told me to.
00:23:16I said shut your mouth!
00:23:17He hasn't even questioned yet.
00:23:19And he's already confessing.
00:23:20Serves him right.
00:23:21They should have arrested a guy like that ages ago.
00:23:23He used to force our fish prices down.
00:23:25And now he wants to take Mancheng's fund.
00:23:26That's what he gets.
00:23:27Hey, Mancheng!
00:23:29Don't think you've won!
00:23:30I never wanted to beat you.
00:23:32I just want to live in peace.
00:23:34You're the one who won't let anyone else do that.
00:23:43Good riddance!
00:23:44Brother Mancheng!
00:23:45Xiao Guangfa has been taken down!
00:23:47No one's going to try to steal our pawn now!
00:23:50Mancheng, by the long face.
00:23:52Village Chief, Xiao Guangfa has been arrested,
00:23:54but his other factory is still there.
00:23:56A factory dumped a lot.
00:23:57Dirty water into the creek.
00:23:58Now that he's shut down,
00:23:59dozens of workers are out of a job.
00:24:01Uh, uh, uh, uh, out of a job.
00:24:05What are you getting at?
00:24:07I've been wondering,
00:24:08if we could fix a deadwood factory,
00:24:10we'd stop making leather goods,
00:24:11and start making fish products.
00:24:14We've got this spring,
00:24:16and plenty of fish, selling fresh.
00:24:17Fish alone won't earn as much,
00:24:19but we could dry it, can it,
00:24:20and sell it in town,
00:24:22and the county seat.
00:24:24One person getting rich isn't enough.
00:24:27If we can get that factory running,
00:24:28everyone in the village can have a job.
00:24:31Mancheng, are you really planning
00:24:32to bring the whole village in on this?
00:24:34If we're doing it,
00:24:35we're doing it together.
00:24:37Daddy, Shui Shui says lots,
00:24:39and lots of people have to laugh together
00:24:41for there being a good...
00:24:43Here!
00:24:44My girl has spoken.
00:24:45Let's do it!
00:24:51Oh, goodness!
00:24:51Ah!
00:24:52This place is filthier than my chicken coop!
00:25:01Folks, the county has agreed to let
00:25:03a village collective fix
00:25:04unused factory building back to work.
00:25:06I'll put in all the money.
00:25:07We've made selling fish,
00:25:07and Lotus Roots these past few days.
00:25:09Then we'll find a way to get a few machines,
00:25:12and start a small fish cannery.
00:25:14Are we starting a factory?
00:25:15How much will that cost?
00:25:17If we don't have enough money,
00:25:19we'll take it slow, start small.
00:25:20And one more thing.
00:25:21This factory isn't just mine.
00:25:23The Mancheng is a loan.
00:25:24Today, the cannery belongs to everyone
00:25:26in Huochuan village.
00:25:28Every household gets a share.
00:25:29When we make money,
00:25:30we'll split the dividends fairly
00:25:31at the end of the year.
00:25:32No household gets left out.
00:25:33Mancheng, does that include women like me?
00:25:36Would no major support us?
00:25:38It does.
00:25:42But I can't afford to buy a share.
00:25:44You don't have to pay.
00:25:45If you can work,
00:25:46that's your share.
00:25:47Grandpa's son is old,
00:25:49and can't do heavy work,
00:25:50but he still gets a share.
00:25:52Gangguan.
00:25:53Diu sha shou shang shan qing guo douzi.
00:25:54Even an old codger like me gets one.
00:25:56Rufu guo chuan.
00:25:57Village gets one.
00:26:02Okay.
00:26:06Atta boy.
00:26:08With a heart like that,
00:26:09the cannery won't fail.
00:26:15Coming through.
00:26:16The strong man's here.
00:26:22What are you laughing at?
00:26:24I'm just testing how solid the ground is.
00:26:26Little, get home.
00:26:27How'd you get trapped?
00:26:31Go on home and find your mommy.
00:26:33Si si.
00:26:34Chow.
00:26:35Huh.
00:26:37Dad, there's something hidden in the wall.
00:26:46Written here.
00:26:53Deef, what is it?
00:26:55The secret recipe for...
00:26:59Let me see.
00:27:02That's it.
00:27:03No doubt about it.
00:27:04Grandpa's son,
00:27:05you recognize it?
00:27:06How could I not?
00:27:07Over 30 years ago,
00:27:08our Huo chuan village
00:27:09had an old
00:27:10fermented fish workshop.
00:27:11Back then,
00:27:12folks from all around came
00:27:12to our village every new year
00:27:14to buy our fermented fish.
00:27:16Then the old shopkeeper passed away.
00:27:17Watch out coast,
00:27:18and the recipe disappeared with it.
00:27:19We've been looking for it for decades.
00:27:22Spring.
00:27:22What called fish?
00:27:23And our village is
00:27:24on old recipes.
00:27:25Alright.
00:27:25We won't make ordinary canned fish.
00:27:27We'll make Huo chuan.
00:27:28Traditional fermented fish.
00:27:32That's a great name.
00:27:33Sounds like it'll sell...
00:27:41The city is such a big place.
00:27:42Would they really buy canned fish
00:27:43made out here in the country?
00:27:47How do we know we don't want it,
00:27:48if we haven't tried it?
00:27:50What are you doing here?
00:27:51Hello director.
00:27:52We're from Huo chuan village.
00:27:53We'd like to submit a batch
00:27:53of canned fish samples.
00:27:55Here I ask ear or proof.
00:27:56Could you see?
00:27:57If they'd fit in the city's supply network,
00:28:00a village run factory.
00:28:00Where's your production license?
00:28:02We're working on it.
00:28:03What about your health permit?
00:28:04We've already made the changes.
00:28:06It's required.
00:28:06Do you have a test report?
00:28:08It passed.
00:28:09We're still getting the official report.
00:28:11So your paperwork isn't complete.
00:28:13Director,
00:28:14our fish is really good.
00:28:15Just give it a taste.
00:28:16This is food people are going to eat.
00:28:18Without complete consistent production
00:28:19or health test results,
00:28:20how can I accept it?
00:28:26Brother Mankang,
00:28:27that's it for us.
00:28:29What about Ciquita?
00:28:30Don't let just anyone into the yard.
00:28:36You're right.
00:28:37Our paperwork isn't complete.
00:28:38We admit,
00:28:39but we've brought everything all this way.
00:28:42Do us a favor and try a bite.
00:28:43If it's no good,
00:28:44we'll leave right away.
00:28:47I'm talking about the paperwork,
00:28:48the taste,
00:28:49I know,
00:28:49but we're just a poor village
00:28:50opening our first factory.
00:28:51I can see.
00:28:53There are a lot of rules
00:28:54we really don't understand.
00:29:00Wait.
00:29:07Mr. Shen,
00:29:09lay him out.
00:29:13Young Mint,
00:29:13where did you make this fish?
00:29:15Huochuan village.
00:29:17Let me try some.
00:29:27Mr. Shen,
00:29:28what's wrong?
00:29:30Mr. Shen,
00:29:34Yes, that's it.
00:29:35That's the taste.
00:29:36It's been over 40 years.
00:29:37I've been away from my hometown
00:29:38for over 40 years.
00:29:41When I was a boy,
00:29:42my mother would buy me
00:29:43fermented fish for New Year's.
00:29:45It tasted just like this.
00:29:46Young man,
00:29:47where did you say?
00:29:47You were from...
00:29:49Huochuan village.
00:29:50And the fish recipe?
00:29:51It's a traditional secret recipe
00:29:52passed down in our village
00:29:53over 30 years ago.
00:29:56No wonder, wonder.
00:29:59Call you Magistrate Song.
00:30:00I'm investing in your county's project.
00:30:02Mr. Shen,
00:30:03do you mean?
00:30:05I only plan to come back
00:30:06and see my hometown this time,
00:30:07but if this flavor is the real deal,
00:30:10I'll put in another 500,000 yuan.
00:30:16500,000?
00:30:17Sir,
00:30:17you nuts up.
00:30:19Don't thank me just yet.
00:30:21I want to invest
00:30:22in something built to last.
00:30:23Hygiene,
00:30:24quality,
00:30:24and production standards.
00:30:26All of them have to be met.
00:30:29Of course.
00:30:31Comrade Hiemen Kang,
00:30:32product really does taste good,
00:30:34but you still have to complete the paperwork.
00:30:36I mentioned.
00:30:37The director is right.
00:30:39We're just villagers.
00:30:40We used to think
00:30:41that if something tastes good,
00:30:42we could sell it.
00:30:43But after what you said today,
00:30:45running a food factory isn't so simple.
00:30:47Director,
00:30:47I have one more request.
00:30:49What is it?
00:30:53What is it?
00:30:53He is a doctor.
00:30:54If you don't mind
00:30:55our factory being small,
00:30:57I'd like you to be
00:30:58our factory's technical advisor.
00:31:00Help us set up
00:31:00our hygiene practice,
00:31:01and product testing.
00:31:03Every jawfish we sell,
00:31:04to be safe for people to eat.
00:31:10I treated you so poorly just now.
00:31:11You're not holding it against me.
00:31:13You didn't hurt me.
00:31:14You were worried people might get sick.
00:31:16What's there to hold against you?
00:31:18I'll be your advisor.
00:31:19But let me make this clear up front.
00:31:21I still won't let your goods leave,
00:31:23Guangzhou.
00:31:26The stricter you are,
00:31:28the more reassured I'll be.
00:31:3129th Street Song.
00:31:32Your county has a man.
00:31:33Who knows how to get things done?
00:31:35Now I go.
00:31:36I want to see how far
00:31:37Hemang Kong can take.
00:31:38Huochuan village.
00:31:40We did it!
00:31:41We did it!
00:31:44Is it what?
00:31:45Is it about the cannery?
00:31:52How'd it go, Man Kong?
00:31:53How'd it go?
00:31:56Mr. Shen from invested
00:31:58500,000 yuan in our Huochuan.
00:32:01Cannery!
00:32:03Fine!
00:32:04Good heaven!
00:32:05We really have a factory!
00:32:09Foxxar!
00:32:10Poltron villagers secured an investment!
00:32:12500,000 yuan?
00:32:13I've never seen that much money in my life!
00:32:16Forget seeing it!
00:32:17I wouldn't even dare dream of that much!
00:32:20I'm going home to get a sack!
00:32:22Time to haul in the cash!
00:32:25What cash?
00:32:28The 500,000 yuan!
00:32:30That's an investment in the factory,
00:32:32not money to help you find a wife.
00:32:35Can I get excited ahead?
00:32:36Time?
00:32:38Daddy?
00:32:44Daddy, why jump-
00:32:46Like those big fat fish in the pond after they eat their fill?
00:32:52Cause everyone's happy!
00:32:54Why are they happy?
00:32:56Because now everyone will have work,
00:32:57and earn money.
00:32:58They'll have enough to eat,
00:32:59and the little ones will get new clothes.
00:33:01So everyone's lucky!
00:33:03That's right!
00:33:04Our little Xu Xi brought us all this good luck!
00:33:06It's not just mine!
00:33:08Shui Shui said good luck is meant to be shared!
00:33:11The more you share, the more there is!
00:33:14Well said, little girl!
00:33:16Here in Huotuan village,
00:33:17we used to look out for ourselves!
00:33:19Now it's time we all put together!
00:33:21Yes!
00:33:21I'm putting on the line today!
00:33:24Not a single cent of this 500,000 can be wasted!
00:33:27And running!
00:33:28So everyone has work to do!
00:33:32The whole village will live a good life together!
00:33:34Sounds good!
00:33:39Having this much money in our house makes my heart pound!
00:33:42What are you worried about?
00:33:43Mr. In-law?
00:33:43I'm here!
00:33:45Why am I worried?
00:33:47Come on, Brother Mankang!
00:33:49Aha!
00:33:49That's hurtful!
00:33:51Mama?
00:33:52Yes?
00:33:53Papa said that when we have money,
00:33:54we can buy lots of yummy things!
00:33:56That's right!
00:33:56Then can Shisi get a really, really big bright red watermelon?
00:34:00When my fruit juice comes pouring out!
00:34:04You sure can!
00:34:05Tomorrow, Mama will go to town
00:34:06and pick out the biggest, reddest watermelon for you, Shisi!
00:34:09Xiao Yuan!
00:34:09Grab one for me while you're at it!
00:34:11Buy your own!
00:34:13Favoritism!
00:34:15Xiao Yuan!
00:34:18This looks like a lot of money!
00:34:19Dingle factory!
00:34:20Cost money at every turn!
00:34:21I've made up my mind!
00:34:22Tomorrow,
00:34:23have the village party secretary notify the whole village
00:34:26that anyone who needs fish fry
00:34:27or lotus seeds can come and register!
00:34:29You're giving them away for free?
00:34:31Hey, Mankang!
00:34:32We'll fund the money from the factory start-up fund!
00:34:34Then we'll slowly earn it back!
00:34:35When we buy their fish!
00:34:37And load us hoots!
00:34:37If a family is really struggling,
00:34:39we won't deduct anything!
00:34:40Year dot!
00:34:41With what's left, we'll fix up!
00:34:42De-robed by the village entrance!
00:34:43The kids come home from tour!
00:34:44Covered in mud whenever it rains!
00:34:45The legs on the school desks are about to rot through!
00:34:47If we have money to spare,
00:34:48we can get a few new sets!
00:34:50Brother Mankang!
00:34:51Aren't you going to build yourself a new house first?
00:34:53A leaky roof can be fixed!
00:34:54But if the kids miss out on school,
00:34:56you can't make that up!
00:35:01Mama, Shui Shui in the well is calling me!
00:35:05The water in the well?
00:35:07Shui Shui says he found a big shiny ring in the mud!
00:35:12He also says you cracked right over that ring a long time ago!
00:35:17A big ring?
00:35:20Shui Shui, is he talking about?
00:35:23Chiao Yun, what's wrong?
00:35:25My silver bracelet!
00:35:26The one my mother left me!
00:35:29It fell down the well ten years ago!
00:35:31We hired someone to switch twice, but they never found it!
00:35:35Shui Shui says it's still there!
00:35:41Xixi, which way?
00:35:42Over there, under the mud!
00:35:47Maolin, come in!
00:35:53I can't see a thing!
00:35:55Can't see a thing, huh?
00:35:58Over here!
00:36:00Nothing on my side, either!
00:36:01It's all shiny here!
00:36:05There's something!
00:36:06A big silver bracelet!
00:36:09Give it to me!
00:36:14It's mine!
00:36:15It really is!
00:36:16My mother left it to me as my dowry!
00:36:20It fell into the well ten years ago!
00:36:23I'd never find it again!
00:36:26I'm glad you got it back!
00:36:30Mom!
00:36:31Hey!
00:36:32Why are you crying again?
00:36:36Happy, sweetheart!
00:36:40Shiny circle came off!
00:36:42Brother Mang Kong!
00:36:43Hey!
00:36:43Why are you crying?
00:36:44Who's crying?
00:36:45Some sand got in my eye by the well!
00:36:47Where'd you find sand this...
00:36:48Um...
00:36:49Where'd you find sand this late at night?
00:36:54Daddy!
00:36:57Daddy gets to eat me!
00:36:59And mommy gets a big bracelet!
00:37:05You're really the little lucky star heaven sent to our family!
00:37:10Put on your gloves, wash, and sanitize your hands before entering the workshop!
00:37:13Official canning!
00:37:14Must be sorted!
00:37:15Must be sorted by size according to the standards!
00:37:17Chief!
00:37:17You're stricter with me than my wife is!
00:37:20If you think I'm being too strict, you can leave!
00:37:22I don't mind!
00:37:23Keep a close eye on me!
00:37:24For the first time in my life, being Captain Lamp is reassuring!
00:37:36It's out!
00:37:37Our very own canned goods!
00:37:42Brother Mang Kong, let me try the first can!
00:37:44Your dreams!
00:37:45This one's for the sample!
00:37:47You can't keep a sample forever without eating it!
00:37:54The first can of fish from our Huo Kuan Cannery is officially really lit!
00:38:03But this is just the beginning!
00:38:04Our first orders from the city are already in!
00:38:08Whether we make a strong start depends on the next few days!
00:38:11Let's all give it our best!
00:38:12We absolutely can't cut corners on quality!
00:38:14We can make a little less, but we can't let anyone get sick from eating our products!
00:38:18You can count on us, Brother Mang Kong!
00:38:22Huo Kuan Village can't afford to lose space!
00:38:23Right!
00:38:23We'll do a good job!
00:38:28Move it!
00:38:31Huo Kuan Village's number one hauling champ coming through!
00:38:36Slow down!
00:38:36Don't drop the cans!
00:38:38Don't wait!
00:38:42I drop before I let these cans fall!
00:38:46See that?
00:38:47People can take a fall!
00:38:48The goods can't!
00:38:52Xiao Shu!
00:38:53Xiao Shu!
00:38:53Why don't you go to school?
00:38:56It's the factory's first day of work, so I took the day off!
00:38:59How about I quit school from now on?
00:39:01What did you say?
00:39:02The factory is so busy!
00:39:04I can help you work!
00:39:05And earn money for the family!
00:39:06Don't talk nonsense!
00:39:08The grown-ups can handle the factory work!
00:39:10Your most important job right now is studying!
00:39:13No-bi-zi-zau-sa-chi-fwo-chu-wur!
00:39:15I didn't get the chance to study when I was a kid!
00:39:17Now I've got the factory!
00:39:18But I have to ask for help with contracts!
00:39:19And bookkeeping!
00:39:20I can barely even read the machine manuals!
00:39:21You want to end up like me?
00:39:23No!
00:39:24Then you better study hard, once you've learned enough!
00:39:27I'll be waiting for you to come back, and run the cannery!
00:39:30Okay!
00:39:31If you're really capable, I'll hand you the whole cannery!
00:39:35Take a break, everyone!
00:39:36It's so hot out!
00:39:37Have some mung bean soup first!
00:39:39Save me two bowls, sis-in-law!
00:39:40Why do you need two bowls all to yourself?
00:39:43I'm doing the work of two people!
00:39:48That...
00:39:48She made the set!
00:39:51You made the-
00:39:52Mm-hmm!
00:39:53Don't let her brag!
00:39:55I added the salt, and cleaned the fish!
00:39:56She just pressed it a couple of times with her little hands!
00:40:00See?
00:40:00She also said it was yummy!
00:40:02Yummy!
00:40:04That's right!
00:40:05You helped the most!
00:40:06Mm-hmm!
00:40:07Daddy, take this to the grandpa in town!
00:40:10Why give it to him?
00:40:12Grandpa's helped our fishies!
00:40:14Mom says when people are good to us, we should be good to them, too!
00:40:19All right, I'll take the goods into town tomorrow.
00:40:22I'll be sure to bring the little.
00:40:23Fisher xixi made them.
00:40:25Really?
00:40:25When daddy promises you something, he keeps his word.
00:40:28You're the best, daddy!
00:40:30All the health instructions passed.
00:40:32The formatation film, salt levels, and some of the requirements.
00:40:35Much. They packaged.
00:40:38Very good.
00:40:43The director helped us improve it.
00:40:45We country folks don't know much about this.
00:40:48We just did what he told us.
00:40:51Don't give me all the credit.
00:40:53You were the ones who agreed to make the changes.
00:41:04Even better than the last sample.
00:41:05The seasoning is just right, and the fermented aroma is spot on.
00:41:09I told you it was good!
00:41:10What did you say?
00:41:10I said, mister.
00:41:12Shen has a good eye!
00:41:12Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
00:41:14Himan Kang!
00:41:15Mister!
00:41:16Shen!
00:41:16We'll take the first batch, but don't celebrate just yet.
00:41:19Food isn't a one-time deal.
00:41:20Getting the first batch right isn't enough.
00:41:22Making every batch tastes the same.
00:41:23And meet the same, Ender.
00:41:24That's the real test.
00:41:25You can count on us!
00:41:27If any one of our factory cuts corners, I'll be the first to stop them!
00:41:30Lord!
00:41:31Mister!
00:41:32Shen!
00:41:32There's one more thing!
00:41:33What is it?
00:41:38I don't want me to self.
00:41:39Your daughter?
00:41:40You heard I was bringing a delivery to the city, and insisted I bring this to you.
00:41:44For me!
00:41:45She said buying from our village means you helped us, and we should share good things with those
00:41:49who helped us.
00:41:55She tied the string, too.
00:41:56Three times.
00:41:57The first two kept falling off.
00:42:05Mister!
00:42:06Shen!
00:42:06This tastes like my mother's cooking.
00:42:11We were poor when I was a boy.
00:42:13In winter, we had no vegetables, so my mother would pickle little fish like these for my brothers,
00:42:17and me to eat with our rice.
00:42:18Fix you on forty, suppose you.
00:42:20I haven't had any in nearly thirty years.
00:42:22Then have some more.
00:42:22I'll tell Xixi she gave it to the right person.
00:42:25What's your daughter's name?
00:42:27He Xixi.
00:42:29She's a thoughtful, little girl.
00:42:33I'll take this home with me.
00:42:34I'm glad you like it.
00:42:36One more thing.
00:42:37Go ahead.
00:42:38I have an old army buddy who runs a few restaurants in the provincial.
00:42:41If you can keep your fermented fish at the Squangling,
00:42:45I can put you in touch with him.
00:42:47The provincial capital?
00:42:49What? Are you afraid?
00:42:50No.
00:42:52Let me hide.
00:42:53I just didn't expect it to happen so soon.
00:42:55Business won't come to you.
00:42:56If your product is good.
00:42:57You have to be willing to take it out there.
00:43:01There's a provincial and
00:43:02product expo next month.
00:43:03The provincial
00:43:04factory
00:43:04and cooperatives from all over the province will be there.
00:43:07I happen to have a spot.
00:43:08Recommend.
00:43:09I'd like to help Po Chuan.
00:43:10Village get a booth.
00:43:12A booth at the provincial expo?
00:43:14We can go too?
00:43:15Worthy.
00:43:16Farmers products don't belong in the provincial capital.
00:43:19No, no.
00:43:19I'm just worried folks in the city.
00:43:21I've never tasted anything this good.
00:43:22They'll snap it all up.
00:43:24Mister.
00:43:24Shen.
00:43:25We'll make the most of this opportunity.
00:43:27Don't just say it.
00:43:28Go back.
00:43:29And prepare well.
00:43:30You'll only have a few days at the expo.
00:43:33Weather people in the provincial.
00:43:34Capital remember the name Huo Chuan.
00:43:35Village is up to you.
00:43:37Understood.
00:43:41Everyone, come all out.
00:43:43We got another big piece of news.
00:43:45What is it this time, Secretary?
00:43:47Did the cannery make more money?
00:43:48This is even better than making money.
00:43:50Mister.
00:43:51Shen got us a spot.
00:43:52Next.
00:43:54Our Huo Chuan village goods are going to the provincial agricultural expo.
00:43:59Capi-
00:44:00That's right.
00:44:01So I was thinking, this time, it won't just be our cannery going.
00:44:04The whole village should go.
00:44:05The whole village?
00:44:06That's right.
00:44:07Each family can bring something they're best at making.
00:44:09Food, use, something, anything.
00:44:10Let folks in the provincial capital see.
00:44:11Huo Chuan village has more than just fish.
00:44:14Count me in.
00:44:16Chili sauce.
00:44:16I make-
00:44:17When my husband was alive, he loved the chili sauce I made.
00:44:20Plenty of folks in the village said it was good too.
00:44:22Then bring some.
00:44:23I re-
00:44:24If it's good, you can bring it.
00:44:26I don't know how to make food, but I can weave bamboo baskets.
00:44:29I'll weave some pretty ones to pack the cans in.
00:44:31And-
00:44:32Even better.
00:44:33Bring the f-
00:44:33Take the baskets home too.
00:44:37And me.
00:44:39Maoli.
00:44:39What can you do?
00:44:41Brother Mankong.
00:44:42I'm strong.
00:44:43Whatever no settles, I'll haul the goods.
00:44:47Undlaf.
00:44:48If we're really going, having lots of stuff isn't enough.
00:44:50Someone's got to carry it.
00:44:53Ah!
00:44:54Who's going to haul hundreds of crates of canned fish?
00:44:56Me, obviously.
00:44:58Alright.
00:44:59You're in charge.
00:45:00Up the hauling crew.
00:45:01You got it.
00:45:02Daddy?
00:45:04I'm going to haul hundreds of crates of canned fish.
00:45:05What for?
00:45:06Big yummy fish.
00:45:07And you want another.
00:45:13Then it's settled.
00:45:14We'll all get ready together.
00:45:15Go into the provincial capitalism.
00:45:17Just about my pride.
00:45:17It-
00:45:18About the pride of our whole village.
00:45:19That's right.
00:45:20Let's show them what we can do.
00:45:22People from Huozhan village.
00:45:23And do great things too.
00:45:25Alright.
00:45:27Huo Quan's traditional firm.
00:45:28Try it before you buy.
00:45:29If it's not good, you don't pay.
00:45:31Ah.
00:45:32Hey.
00:45:33Come, try some.
00:45:34It's free.
00:45:35One bite won't hurt.
00:45:36It's really free?
00:45:38The sample's free.
00:45:39But if you take the whole plate, that'll cost you.
00:45:43This basket's really pretty.
00:45:45I wove it myself.
00:45:46It fits four hands perfectly.
00:45:47Then fill one up for me.
00:45:49You got it.
00:45:50Grandpa gets fit.
00:45:51Grandma gets fit.
00:45:52And so do all the uncles and aunties.
00:45:56Girl, is your family's fish really that good?
00:45:59Super, super good.
00:46:01Makes it so special.
00:46:03It makes you strong.
00:46:04Then walk this fast.
00:46:07Stop.
00:46:09All right, all right.
00:46:10You talked me into it.
00:46:12Grandma will buy two jars.
00:46:14Thank you, Grandma.
00:46:15That little rascal.
00:46:17She's better at selling than you are.
00:46:19That's my daughter.
00:46:21Weren't you just saying she was running around?
00:46:23That's different.
00:46:27Who's is this?
00:46:29Huo Quan village.
00:46:29Please have a taste.
00:46:34Who's in charge?
00:46:35This fish?
00:46:36Brother Man Kang.
00:46:37Someone's looking for you.
00:46:41Hello.
00:46:43Did you make this fish at your own factory?
00:46:45That's right.
00:46:46How much can you make in a day?
00:46:47We can make about 2,000 jars a day right now.
00:46:50If demand grows, we can add more equipment.
00:46:532,000 jars.
00:46:55I'm with Fu Man Lu restaurant company in the provincial capital.
00:46:58We currently have one restaurant.
00:47:00We've been looking for a fish product with local character and consistent quality.
00:47:04I'm interested in your fermented fish.
00:47:0712 restaurants.
00:47:08That's right.
00:47:09If it seems, we can discuss a long-term supply deal.
00:47:11You mean it?
00:47:12I didn't come all this way to the agricultural.
00:47:15Expo to joke around.
00:47:19But I have to ask, where do your fish come from?
00:47:22Most of it comes from Huo Quan village.
00:47:24Most of it comes from Huo Quan village.
00:47:26Farms?
00:47:26Not all of it.
00:47:27Um, nafes behind our village.
00:47:29There's a spring-fed pool behind our village connected to the river below.
00:47:32The fish are lively and their meat is firm at our village's tradition.
00:47:36And that's what gives it this flavor.
00:47:37No wonder.
00:47:38I could tell as soon as I tasted it.
00:47:41It's different.
00:47:43In this case, with so many people today,
00:47:45it's not suitable for initial discussion.
00:47:47To the agricultural fair, my business car.
00:47:49To Fu Man Lu headquarters.
00:47:50We can talk things over there.
00:47:52Sure.
00:47:52I'll be there.
00:47:54Mister.
00:47:55What is it, little girl?
00:47:58Have another piece, mister.
00:48:00Why?
00:48:01Shui Shui says, if you eat your fill,
00:48:04you'll bring lots of people to eat our fish someday.
00:48:08All right.
00:48:08I'll take your word for it, then.
00:48:19Brother Mankang, do your strength.
00:48:21Keep it down.
00:48:23It's 12 companies.
00:48:23How can I keep it down?
00:48:25We're gonna be rich.
00:48:27A big contract?
00:48:28We're really signing a big contract?
00:48:30It's not signed yet.
00:48:31They just want us to come talk.
00:48:33Practically a done deal.
00:48:34Mankang.
00:48:35This time, we've really made it beyond Huo Quan Village.
00:48:38Huo Quan Village.
00:48:40The person in charge of Huo Quan Village's traditional fermented fish booth,
00:48:44please report to the organizing committee office.
00:48:45Are they calling us?
00:48:47No idea.
00:48:56Mankang.
00:48:57Hurry.
00:48:59Dad.
00:49:01What's wrong?
00:49:02Shui Shui.
00:49:03There's someone shiny waiting for daddy.
00:49:06Brother Mankang.
00:49:07Shink.
00:49:07Shup.
00:49:07Shishang.
00:49:08Shishang.
00:49:08Shishang.
00:49:08Do you think they called us over the loudspeaker to give us an award?
00:49:11I don't know.
00:49:11They must have.
00:49:12Why else would they call us?
00:49:13Hipe down.
00:49:14If there's no award, you'll have egg on your face.
00:49:17If we really win, can I touch the trophy?
00:49:20Just keep your mouth shut.
00:49:22Mom.
00:49:23Think for that.
00:49:27Mom doesn't know either.
00:49:28It has to be.
00:49:29How do you know?
00:49:30Shui Shui told me.
00:49:32Ladies and gentlemen, the results of this products expo have known.
00:49:38Next, the gold award.
00:49:40Farm product at this year's
00:49:44Winning product is Huo Kuan.
00:49:45Traditional fermented fish from Huo Chuan village.

00:49:53Dad, the gold award.
00:49:54The gold award.

00:49:58Mankang.
00:50:04Now, please welcome Hei Man-chan, head of Huo Kuan traditional fermented fish, to the stage to accept the award.
00:50:10Brother Man-chan, they're calling you.
00:50:26Hei Man-chan, see a few words.
00:50:34I've never been on a stage this big before.
00:50:37And I'm no good at fancy speeches.
00:50:40It doesn't belong to me alone.
00:50:42We earned it together.
00:50:43All of us.
00:50:43In Huo Chuan village.
00:50:44The neighbors helping clean out the factory.
00:50:46And everyone raising fish.
00:50:47Digging lotus roots.
00:50:48And making canned goods.
00:50:49I couldn't have done a thing on my own.
00:50:52I also have to thank my wife, Liu Xiaoyun.
00:50:54I've been out.
00:50:55And about every day lately.
00:50:56And she's held everything together at home and beyond.
00:50:58And there's my San Xiao Shu.
00:51:00He's still young.
00:51:00I keep saying every day.
00:51:01That he wants to help me with the work.
00:51:03But I still say the same thing.
00:51:04Study hard.
00:51:05I know.
00:51:11And my dog.
00:51:12Xixi.
00:51:12If it weren't for her.
00:51:16Hei Man-chan.
00:51:17My soul be scraping by with nothing.
00:51:19But a broken fishing net.
00:51:21So this award belongs to Huo Chuan village.
00:51:25To my wife.
00:51:26To my two children.
00:51:27And to everyone willing to work with me.
00:51:29To build a better life.
00:51:30Thank you everyone.
00:51:37Goals.
00:51:38We won gold.
00:51:39Huo Chuan village won the gold medal.
00:51:42We're alive.
00:51:45Huo Chuan village is really thriving again.
00:51:54Brother Mankang.
00:51:55What now?
00:51:56Slow down.
00:51:57The trophy is back here.
00:51:59Don't jostle our gold medal.
00:52:01Uncle Mao Lin.
00:52:02Why don't you hold it?
00:52:03I don't dare.
00:52:04It's...
00:52:05It's so valuable.
00:52:06If I drop it.
00:52:07I could never pay for it.
00:52:09What a scaredy cat.
00:52:15Mankang.
00:52:15Sometimes it feels like a dream.
00:52:17Long ago.
00:52:17We could barely bring ourselves to...
00:52:19The meat we'd stewed.
00:52:20You went down the river before.
00:52:22Don't every day.
00:52:22I was always afraid.
00:52:24A strong wind would sweep you right into the water.
00:52:26But now we have a factory.
00:52:29We brought home.
00:52:30A provincial gold medal.
00:52:33See the fam.
00:52:34This far so suddenly?
00:52:36What else could it be?
00:52:37A little lucky start to enter our family.
00:52:39Nope.
00:52:41Then what was it?
00:52:42Cause everyone is...
00:52:44Shui shui says good people help good people.
00:52:47Good people.
00:52:48People get good things in return.
00:52:54That's right!
00:52:56My daughter set it perfectly.
00:52:57Go pay my coat then.
00:53:05They're back.
00:53:06They brought home the gold medal.
00:53:15It's really gold.
00:53:16It says on here,
00:53:17The name of our village,
00:53:18Huachuan village.
00:53:19Can you all see French gold medal in all the generations of Huo Kwan village?
00:53:26We've never won an honor to speak before.
00:53:38Gaudi, what's wrong? This trophy shouldn't go in my house.
00:53:40Put it in the village committee office where everyone can see it from now on.
00:53:45If any kid thinks there's no future in our village, bring them here to see this trophy.
00:53:49Tell them that as long as the people of Huo Kwan village are willing to work hard,
00:53:54we can make it to the provincial capital too.
00:53:56Alright, Huo Kwan village is on its feet!
00:54:02Granny!
00:54:03You proved granny right to the lead in you.
00:54:06With this living spring in your hand, you didn't keep the wealth to yourself.
00:54:11What's the point of one person eating their fill?
00:54:13It's a lot more fun when everyone gets to eat their fill.
00:54:16A child brought to your family more than just coming to...
00:54:19Munggang!
00:54:20Auntie Tie Yan!
00:54:22Rich, I sold quite a bit at the agricultural fair this time.
00:54:25After I got back, I made a few more jars.
00:54:27Next time you see those clients in the provincial capital, take some for them to try.
00:54:30Sure, we'll do.
00:54:31If they sell, I'd like to make more too.
00:54:34Then do it.
00:54:35As long as the quality is good, our cannery can sell them together.
00:54:38And I've got some too!
00:54:39Grandpa-san, you've been weaving again these past few days?
00:54:42It's something to do!
00:54:43People in the city like this stuff, don't they?
00:54:45Then weave a few more!
00:54:46Grandpa-san, we can pack all our canned goods in these from now on!
00:54:49Oh, get out of here!
00:54:58What is it?
00:54:59It's nothing.
00:54:59I used to think all I needed was to catch a few more fish each day.
00:55:04So you and the kids could have a good meal.
00:55:07Now I know one.
00:55:08You're doing well.
00:55:08Doesn't mean much.
00:55:10Neighbor!
00:55:11We're throwing a banquet for the whole village!
00:55:15The cannery will provide the fish!
00:55:16Celebrate together!
00:55:17Yeah!
00:55:22Yeah!
00:55:23I'm a three fish!
00:55:24Have three!
00:55:25And I'll dock your pay!
00:55:27Then I'll have two and a half fish!
00:55:34Daddy!
00:55:35Can we have a big watermelon today?
00:55:37You still remember that?
00:55:39Promise, Sixie Mommy!
00:55:41We'll get one!
00:55:43And not just a big watermelon!
00:55:45We'll get our CC some candy too!
00:55:47Yay!
00:55:48Good!
00:55:50We made a lot of money this time!
00:55:52How do you want to spend it?
00:55:55I've been thinking about it the whole way!
00:55:57I've been thinking about it the whole way!
00:55:58Figure it out?
00:55:59Yeah!
00:56:02First thing, we'll fix the roads!
00:56:04Fix somebody road at the village entrance!
00:56:07Not just the village entrance!
00:56:08We'll pay the road all the way from the village to town!
00:56:12Counts, we'll need to ship the factory's goods!
00:56:13Which are the factory goods!
00:56:15And the kids need to get to school!
00:56:16Or order and I to fight!
00:56:17Wolf!
00:56:18When it rains, vehicles shouldn't get stuck!
00:56:20People shouldn't be trapped here!
00:56:22Second, we'll rebuild the school house!
00:56:25The school lot?
00:56:27Uh-huh! The roof leaks!
00:56:28And the desks and chairs are worn out!
00:56:29Don't you show me!
00:56:30We'll buy the kids some books too!
00:56:32If we can find a good teacher!
00:56:34We'll hire another one!
00:56:36You're starting to sound more and more like a real boss!
00:56:39What boss? I just know what it's like!
00:56:41To suffer for not getting an education!
00:56:44Xiao Xu!
00:56:45Dad!
00:56:46You hear me?
00:56:47I hear you!
00:56:48From now on, you better study hard!
00:56:50I know!
00:56:52Dad!
00:56:52What?
00:56:53I'm so study hard!
00:56:54Shishu chu chu chu chu chu chu chu chu chu chu chu chu chu chu chu chu chu chu chu
00:56:55chu chu!
00:56:56And when I grow up, I'll come back and help you run the canary!
00:57:00Alright! Then I'll be waiting!
00:57:03Daddy, Si Si will help Daddy run the factory too!
00:57:06Can you do the books?
00:57:08No!
00:57:09Then what can you run?
00:57:11Si Si will take care of the fish!
00:57:12All you know how to do is take care of fish.
00:57:15Why are you, Yama?
00:57:16Shui Shui belongs to Xi Xi too.
00:57:20RCC is the best.
00:57:24There's one more thing.
00:57:26There's more?
00:57:28Fu Man Lu needs more goods to see.
00:57:30And we're getting more and more orders from the city.
00:57:33The machines we have now aren't enough.
00:57:35There are two more production lines.
00:57:36Anyone from the village who wants to come back and work can.
00:57:39That'll cost a lot.
00:57:41That's what money's for.
00:57:42I don't want all the young people from Huozhuan village living someday.
00:57:44If they can earn a living here and the cost of their families,
00:57:47then we'll know life is truly getting better.
00:57:50I'm with you.
00:57:56I've put you through a lot all these years.
00:58:00Why bring that up?
00:58:01I used to tell you when we had money,
00:58:03I'll build you a new house and buy you new clothes.
00:58:07Now we have money and all I think about is the village.
00:58:10If you really spent money on clothes for me,
00:58:13Oh dear,
00:58:13I'd scold you.
00:58:18We can build a house sooner or later.
00:58:20The village,
00:58:20the kids' school,
00:58:22and everyone can't wait forever.
00:58:24Marrying you was the greatest blessing of my life,
00:58:26He Man Kang Jie.
00:58:27Oh,
00:58:28Oh,
00:58:28stop sweet-talking me.
00:58:30And Sisi,
00:58:32Ishi is Daddy's blessing too.
00:58:38That's right,
00:58:39you too.
00:58:40What about me?
00:58:42You.
00:58:44You'll have to prove yourself a little more.
00:58:47Dad.
00:58:51Sisi.
00:58:52Daddy.
00:58:53Tomorrow,
00:58:54I'm taking you somewhere.
00:58:56Where?
00:58:59To do something very important.
00:59:03More important than buying a bag.
00:59:07Much more important.
00:59:09Then,
00:59:09Sisi will get up a little earlier tomorrow.
00:59:12Alright.
00:59:15Brother Mang Kang's been acting all mysterious today.
00:59:17What is he going to announce?
00:59:20First,
00:59:21I called everyone here today for two reasons.
00:59:23First,
00:59:23to celebrate Huo Kwan village.
00:59:26Winning the gold medal.
00:59:27There's something that makes me and Mang Kang
00:59:30even happier than winning that medal.
00:59:35Daddy,
00:59:36what is this?
00:59:37Sisi,
00:59:38let me ask you.
00:59:39Do you like our family?
00:59:40I do.
00:59:41Do you like mommy?
00:59:43I like mommy.
00:59:44Do you like your big brother?
00:59:46Drush,
00:59:47sometimes take Sisi's candy.
00:59:49I do not.
00:59:51But Sisi still likes big brother.
00:59:55Then,
00:59:56would you like
00:59:57to stay with us forever?
01:00:00But Sisi's always at home.
01:00:05Starting today,
01:00:06your name is on our family register.
01:00:08You're not some child we found
01:00:09or a child nobody wanted.
01:00:11You're here, Sisi.
01:00:12You're my very own daughter.
01:00:14My very own daughter.
01:00:16Sisi,
01:00:16my precious girl.
01:00:17From now on,
01:00:18no one can say
01:00:19you don't have a home.
01:00:21And you're real mom.
01:00:22Mom.
01:00:23Sis,
01:00:24from now on,
01:00:25you're my real sister.
01:00:26Anyone who picks on you
01:00:27will have to deal with me.
01:00:29Hmm.
01:00:30Dad,
01:00:31Mom.
01:00:36Brother,
01:00:37she has a home now.
01:00:40That's right.
01:00:41That's right.
01:00:41The poor child finally has a home.
01:00:54What's wrong,
01:00:55Goliath?
01:00:56Dad,
01:00:57listen.
01:00:58Hear what?
01:01:01Shui shui is singing.
01:01:03They say Sisi has a new home.
01:01:07They're so happy
01:01:08they all want to come and dance.
01:01:10Fish can dance?
01:01:17Oh my goodness.
01:01:26Oh my goodness.
01:01:28I've never seen so many fish in my life.
01:01:30Heavens have answered our prayers.
01:01:32No.
01:01:33It wasn't heaven.
01:01:35Our village,
01:01:35Huachuan,
01:01:36raised a real little lucky star.
01:01:38Lucky star,
01:01:39this good fortune came from the kindness in our hearts.
01:01:42Hear that?
01:01:43Everyone says you're our little lucky star.
01:01:46No,
01:01:46I'm not.
01:01:47Dizzy just told Shui shui
01:01:48that Daddy is a good person,
01:01:50Mommy is a good person,
01:01:51and Big Brother,
01:01:52and all the Grandpas,

01:01:54uncles,
01:01:55and aunties in the village
01:01:56are good people too.
01:01:58That's why Shui shui likes everyone.
01:02:01Big Fat Fish says thank you.
01:02:05Zee is the happiest kid in the whole wide world.
01:02:11Fizz, come home
