in the kitchen/in the morning/inside
(In order to welcome Grandma back, Lin Zhicheng, Zhou Wenru, and Hua Wenbin bought a lot of ingredients to cook. Later, Hua Wenbin even invited Zhang Qing to help.)
(They split the work. Zhang Qing was in charge of cutting the shredded potatoes, Zhou Wenru was in charge of cooking the oil, Lin Zhicheng was in charge of washing the vegetables, and Hua Wenbin was in charge of slaughtering the fish.) When Hua Wenbin was about to slaughter the fish, the carp kept jumping around. Hua Wenbin couldn't catch it no matter how hard he tried, and the fish eventually fell to the ground. At this time, Lin Zhicheng was about to give the washed vegetables to Zhou Wenru, but he stepped on the fish that fell to the ground.
Bin (eyes wide open):"Okay, don't step on it."
(Before Lin Zhicheng could react, he stepped on it and slipped. His whole body fell backward and the dish in his hand was thrown out. In an instant, Lin Zhicheng fell on all fours and the entire kitchen was filled with scattered dishes. Zhou Wenru, Zhang Qing, and Hua Wenbin immediately came forward to help him up.)
Ru (helping Ah Cheng up): Ah Cheng, are you okay?
Cheng (with a pained expression):"What the hell? Why is the ground so slippery? Are you trying to kill me?"
Bin (apologetic): I'm sorry. I didn't catch the fish properly and it fell to the ground. How would I know that you would step on it?
Qing: Sure, if you feel uncomfortable, then you can go out and rest. Let us do it here.
Cheng (suddenly full of energy): I, Lin Zhicheng, am invincible. I must contribute to this welcome banquet. Do you know what the spirit of the Hu family is? Is to go all out and never back down
Bin: Alright, then let's go all out to hold this welcome banquet.
(The four of them put their hands together)
The four of them said together: go all out, never back down
(After saying that, he pressed his hand down hard.)
(After saying the motivational slogan, they continued to do their own work. In a short period of time, their work was very smooth, but with Lin Zhicheng here, the word "smooth" was probably not meant for them.)
(Lin Zhicheng took out a chicken from the chicken coop, but this chicken was too disobedient. It was as fierce as the fish just now.)
Cheng (to the chicken): Boss, don't move. No matter how you struggle, you can't escape the fate of being slaughtered. You'd better obediently submit.
(Lin Zhicheng's words seemed to have angered the chicken. The chicken struggled more and more fiercely. In the end, it even escaped from Lin Zhicheng's "demonic claws" and ran out of the kitchen.)
Cheng (shouting): Hey, you stinky chicken, don't run away.
(Lin Zhicheng chased the chicken all over the house. Zhou Wenru and the rest of the servants also came out to help Lin Zhicheng catch the chicken.)
(While chasing, he said): I told you not to buy live chickens just now. Look, it's a mess now.
(The chicken was really energetic and agile. They couldn't catch it no matter how hard they tried. There was nothing they could do about it.)
(At this moment, Hu Yongnian, Cheng Fang, Zheng Wenjun, Cheng Xiaomei, and their grandmother (Chen Miaoling) came back. They entered the house while chatting and laughing. When they came to the hall, they saw Lin Zhicheng and the others catching the chicken in a hurry.)
Grandma (puzzled): What's going on?
(At this time, the chicken suddenly flew towards Hu Yongnian and the others as if it had gone crazy. Lin Zhicheng also flew over to catch it. However, he did not manage to catch the chicken. Instead, he threw himself at Grandma. Lin Zhicheng fell to the ground with Grandma in his arms. Everyone in the room was shocked by the scene in front of them.
(Hua Wenbin and Zhou Wenru helped Lin Zhicheng up.)
Cheng (clutching his waist):"What bad luck. Why did I fall again? Am I born to compete with the floor?"
(Everyone else helped Grandma up.)
Nian: Mom, are you okay?
Grandma (grimacing in pain): No way, it hurts so much
Nian (shouting):"Ah Cheng, what the hell are you doing? Why are you in such a mess?"
Cheng (standing up slowly): I was catching a chicken. How could I have known that I would encounter such an unfortunate thing?
Grandma: I'm the unlucky one. I just got back and I fell down.
Cheng: I'm sorry, are you okay?
Grandma (in a bad mood): What do you think?
Nian: Mom, let me help you back to your room to rest. I'll get the family doctor to take a look at you later.
Grandma (nodded): Alright.
(Hu Yongnian and Zheng Wenjun rolled their eyes at Lin Zhicheng and helped Grandma back to the room to rest. Cheng Fang and Cheng Xiaomei looked at each other and laughed secretly.)
Bin: Ah Cheng, you've made a big mess this time.
You said you wanted to leave a good impression on Grandma. Now that you've become like this, I'm afraid you'll have to work harder to restore your image in Grandma's heart in the future.
Cheng (unhappy): Do you think I wanted to do this? How would I know that the chicken would jump around? It's so infuriating.
(After saying that, Lin Zhicheng returned to his room with a displeased expression. Zhou Wenru and Hua Wenbin followed him.)
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
Grandma's room/Noon/Inside
(Because Grandma had just fallen and was frightened, she felt a dull pain in her head. She was lying in bed now, and the family doctor gave her a check-up.)
Nian (anxious): Doctor, how is my mother?
Doctor: Your mother's body is fine. She may have been frightened and hasn't calmed down yet. She'll be fine after a while.
Nian: That's good. Thank you, doctor.
Doctor: " You're welcome. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Nian: Alright, Xiaomei, please send the doctor out.
May: Yes, doctor. This way please (send the doctor out)
Nian: Mom, I'm sorry, you've been frightened the moment you came back.
Grandma: " It's not your fault. Why are you apologizing to me? By the way, is that boy who pounced on me your long-lost son?"
Nian (in a friendly tone):"No, that boy just now is the godson I mentioned to you. His name is Ah Cheng. Our biological children are Ah Bin and Ah Ru."
Grandma: So he's your godson? I really didn't expect that your godson would be like this. I've been so shocked the moment I came back.
Nian (smiling):"He is like this. But no matter what, he is the benefactor of our Hu family. He saved my life and helped us find our children. So I will definitely treat him well. I hope you can like him too, Mom."
[Jun: Mother-in-law, actually, other than Ah Cheng, your two grandchildren are very outstanding. They have completely inherited the fine traditions of our Hu family.]
Fang (sneer):"You can't say that. A long journey tests a horse's strength, and a long time tests a person's heart. It takes a while to know whether they are dragons or insects, phoenixes or chickens."
(Zheng Wenjun didn't say anything. He just glared at Cheng Fang.)
[Nian: No matter if they are dragons or insects, phoenixes or chickens, as long as they are not the kind of people who stir up trouble (Glancing at Cheng Fang)]
Grandma said," Alright, alright. Let's talk about the Dragon and Phoenix later. When I recover, I'll go and get to know them personally."
Nian: Alright, we won't disturb your rest. We'll go out first.
Grandma (nodding, her voice low): good
(Hu Yongnian and the rest left the room.)
。。。。。。。。
the hall/evening/inside
(Hu Yongnian and his family came to the living room and sat together. Grandma sat on the sofa in the middle, while Lin Zhicheng, Hua Wenbin, and Zhou Wenru sat on the sofa next to her.)
Grandma (looking at Ah Cheng): Are you Lin Zhicheng?
Cheng (nodding): Yes,(thinking for a while) Grandma, I'm really sorry about this morning. I hope you don't blame me.
Grandma (with a kind attitude):"Ah Nian has already told me that you are the benefactor of our Hu family. I can't blame you even if I want to."
Cheng (happy):"It's fine if you don't blame me. I'm a famous troublemaker. In the past, I was punished twice because I caused trouble in university."。
(At this moment, Hua Wenbin propped him up with his hand and coughed twice, indicating that he should stop talking.)
Bin (whispered into Lin Zhicheng's ear): Don't say what you shouldn't say. Do you want to ruin your image?
(Lin Zhicheng immediately shut his mouth when he heard Hua Wenbin's words. Grandma looked at them with a puzzled expression.)
Grandma: Why didn't you continue?
Cheng (stammering): I…I... I... Actually... Actually... It was nothing…
Grandma (frowning): What are you trying to say?
Cheng (nervous): I didn't say anything. I really didn't say anything.
Grandma: " I know that it's hard for you to talk about your demerits. Actually, I don't want to pursue it. Just restrain yourself in the future. Since you're a member of the Hu family now, you have to get rid of your bad habits. You're not just representing yourself now, but the entire Hu family."
Cheng (a little angry): What is a bad habit?(Staring at Cheng Fang and Cheng Xiaomei) I think you have a lot of bad habits here.
Grandma (sullen face): What do you mean by that?
Nian (serious):"Alright, be careful with what you say. Don't say anything without thinking."
Bin: "Grandma, please don't blame Ah Cheng. Ah Cheng is a little impatient. Sometimes, he speaks a little harshly, but he doesn't mean any harm."(Then he gently nudged Lin Zhicheng)
Cheng (with an apologetic expression):"Grandma, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it to target you."。。Just take it that I'm talking nonsense
Grandma: "Alright, alright. Just watch your words in the future."(Looking at Ah Bin) Ah Bin, I heard that you and Ah Cheng were classmates in university, right?
Bin (nodding): Yeah
Grandma: Then you two are quite fated. You entered the same university and now you're in the same family.
Bin: Yes, Ah Cheng and I have been like brothers before. Now that we are lucky enough to enter the same family, we can be said to be veritable "brothers".
Grandma: I heard that you were a waiter in a restaurant before you entered the Hu family. Is that right?
Bin (nodding): Yeah
Grandma: Sigh, if I had found you earlier, you wouldn't have to suffer like this. Poor child.
Bin: Actually, there are two sides to everything. If you had found me earlier, I might have been completely immersed in the life of a wealthy family. I wouldn't have been able to experience the hardship of making money. This is a great loss for me. So I'm glad that you found me after I experienced the pain.
Grandma (nodded in satisfaction): This is really a sensible child. He will definitely become a great person in the future.
Bin: Grandma, you flatter me.
Grandma (looking at Ah Ru): So you are Ah Ru, right?
Ru (nodding): Yes, Grandma
Grandma (Observing Ah Ru Carefully): I see that you're as beautiful as a flower. You must be favored by many boys. Do you have a boyfriend now?
Ru (Looking at Lin Zhicheng): Grandma, I already have a boyfriend now.
Nian: Mom, I forgot to tell you this. Actually, Cheng is Ru's boyfriend.
Cheng: That's right, Grandma. I'm Aru's boyfriend.
Grandma (looking at Ah Cheng in surprise): You're Ah Ru's boyfriend?
Cheng: Yeah, we've been together for more than four years.
Nian (smiling slightly): Mom, it's actually because of Ah Ru that Ah Cheng became my girlfriend. That's why Ah Cheng could provide clues to find Ah Ru for me. Maybe this is fate.
Grandma (nodded): Oh! So that's how it is. That is to say, you three have known each other for a long time.
Yes
Grandma: " Alright, that's all I have to ask. I've got a preliminary understanding of your situation. Nian, Fang, Jun, come to my room now. I have something to tell you."
Nian/Fang/Jun: Yes
。。。。。。。。。。。
Grandma's room/night/room
(Hu Yongnian, Cheng Fang, and Zheng Wenjun came to Grandma's room.)
Grandma: " Ah Nian, although Lin Zhicheng is the benefactor of our Hu family, I'm afraid I can't accept Ah Ru marrying him."
Nian (confused): Why?
Grandma: " He doesn't look like a down-to-earth person. He doesn't know how to speak properly. Besides, he was given a demerit by the school. It must not be any better. How can he become the son-in-law of our Hu family with that look? Now that he's the young master of our Hu family, we've already treated him well."
The young people nowadays are free to fall in love. It's hard for us old antiques to control their love. We'd better let them develop freely.
Grandma: " If they're just dating, that's fine. But if they're getting married, that's a big problem. You have to know that marriage is a lifetime thing. You can't just get married casually, right?"
Jun: Hubby, mother-in-law is absolutely right. I'm not prejudiced against Ah Cheng, but I think he really doesn't deserve Ah Ru. Even if Ah Ru doesn't marry a rich kid, she should marry a man who understands the big picture.
Nian: " Ah Jun, you're wrong to say that. People change. Ah Cheng is indeed a little ignorant now, but after some training, I believe that he will one day become a man who understands the big picture and makes a difference."
Fang (sneer):[It's hard for a person who doesn't know his place and doesn't follow the rules to achieve something.]
Nian (snapped at Cheng Fang): You don't make a sound, no one says you're mute
Grandma: " Ah Nian, how can you talk to Cheng Fang like that? She's just expressing her opinion. In short, so far, I don't really agree with Ah Cheng and Ah Ru being together unless he can be reborn."
Jun: Yes, I think so too.
Grandma: " Ah Nian, I have an idea. Let us decide on Ah Ru's marriage. I think your old friend Guo Feng's son Guo Mingkang is also quite good. I heard that he and his son will come back to Jiangmen in a few days. They plan to live in Jiangmen for a long time."
Nian: " I know. We have a lot of business dealings. It would be good if we could become in-laws, but shouldn't we respect Ah Ru's wishes?"
Grandma: Let's find a time for Ah Ru to meet Guo Mingkang. Maybe Ah Ru will change her mind.
Nian (stammering): This…This...
Grandma: Don't say anymore. It's settled.
Nian (thought): What should I do? Ah Cheng and Ah Ru are in love with each other. It would be too cruel to break them up. Moreover, Ah Cheng is my benefactor. If I can't even protect his marriage, then I'll really let him down.
