The first 200 lines.
I hereby announce
the third family meeting starts now.
Today's topic is
should you go to dinner tonight?
Please speak.
He has to go.
My dad finally
left your mom a good impression.
He has to keep up the good work.
Son,
now the work
is getting sour.
Why?
You tell him.
My grandma is setting up your dad
and my mom.
The situation is changing so fast.
Can you stop that?
I think...
Raise your hand before speaking.
Please speak.
I shouldn't go.
For what reason?
I brought my son here
just to see you
and spend the spring festival.
I am not ready
to meet your family.
But you can't
hide from them forever.
Sure, I will meet them one day.
But...
At first,
I didn't intend to lie to her.
But now,
I feel so terrible.
I finally found someone
but we still have to sneak around.
I've never done such a furtive thing before.
But if you admit it,
my mother would kill me.
You don't know.
When I was a junior,
a boy had a crush on me.
He wrote me love letters secretly.
Without another word,
my mom shaved my head.
A buzz cut.
She was really brutal.
Come on, grandma.
Let's go.
Let's go home.
Go home, let's go.
Where is Nuannuan?
She was here just now.
Let me call her.
It's my mom.
Be quiet.
Hi, mom.
Hey, where are you?
In the supermarket.
I'm fine. Don't wait for me.
I will take a taxi home.
Come back quickly.
Grandma has been discharged.
Alright.
Don't worry. Be right back.
Ten minutes.
Okay, I know.
She'll be right back.
Okay.
Hurry up.
My mom is hurrying my return.
Should we go to dinner tonight?
Dad,
isn't her mother your fan?
Why not just tell her the truth?
Right.
Let's take a chance.
No, no, no.
Hold on.
What are you doing?
We can't tell her that.
My mom would be happy to see him,
have a drink, and play some music.
She would enjoy it.
But if she knows that we are together
and her daughter was taken by someone...
Hey, how could you say that?
Watch it.
Alright, I'll use another word.
Her daughter was nailed.
Taken sounds better.
It doesn't matter.
Anyway,
I am the most precious property of my mom.
If she knew about it,
she would feel cheated
and be furious.
Dad,
do you see me like that as well?
No,
absolutely not.
I bring you into the world
and raise you up.
When you've grown up,
you need to be responsible for everything you do.
I don't have the right.
What if I get together
with someone who's twenty years older than me?
Then, of course,
I would feel very uncomfortable
and unhappy.
It is very likely that we would
have a big fight
and even a fistfight.
But, if you are determined to be with her,
I can't do anything.
That won't work for my mom.
She would be mad.
I really don't know
what crazy things she would do.
I do.
Dad,
we should just run.
Sure.
Run where?
If you ran away,
that would be it for us.
Not just that,
she would feel deceived and humiliated.
She'd think you are insincere and unforgivable.
I think you must go to the dinner tonight.
First, you can't make her fall for you.
Second, you should make her feel
that you are a reliable man.
That's too difficult for me.
How can I do that?
The key is the environment.
The restaurant must be dirty and horrible.
It has to be some greasy spoon.
The shittier, the better.
That's too harsh.
Yeah.
It's not.
My mom is a neat freak.
She feels uncomfortable in dirty places.
Maybe she wouldn't last for more
than ten minutes.
Red wine.
No red wine.
Have some Erguotou.
I won't drink at all.
In case I say something wrong.
Good point.
You said it. No alcohol.
Second, no rock and roll.
Things like sightseeing, food,
and other light topics are off the table.
Then what should I talk with her about?
About life.
Talk about how you went through the past few years.
You raised your son by yourself.
How tiring and hard it was.
Well...
It's too serious.
What if I make your mother cry?
This shows your sense of responsibility
as a man.
You don't need to lie.
Just tell the truth.
This is to make my mother believe that
you have enough love and patience to take care of me.
About that,
my father is indeed qualified.
Anyway, tonight,
you are a stinky rough man.
But you have a strong and warm heart.
Can't compare with the King of Western Chu,
but at least you have to be Rickshaw Boy.
Can you do that, dad?
Don't question it.
You.
She has already planned everything.
After tonight,
we can have some peace.
Before dinner,
go run for a while.
Why?
Your sweat would serve as a barrier
to keep all the women away.
I might as well carry a bag of cumin with me.
How ridiculous.
Degrading myself like that.
Please stop at
the farmer's market.
I'll go buy some groceries.
Do you want to cook, grandma?
Yeah.
To celebrate that I escaped death.
