Big Sister!
Big Sister! Why aren't you in my room embroidering? Big Sister?
Sis, keep it down. We have a guest in the house.
- Who? - You guess.
- Doctor Guo? - No.
I'm going to peek.
Ha! Still recognize me?
Do you recognize him?
Little sis! You used to be just six years old and this high... and then whoo!
Oh, Old Zhang.
How did you get here?
Hmm. How did I get here?
Great song! Nice job.
Now that I sang you a song you have to tell a story like you promised.
- I can't say a word now. - Why?
- I'm stuffed full of the two lotus buns I ate! - I don't care...
Here you are, young master Zhang.
These two rooms are all ready for you. You probably remember them.
When the old master was still alive, he set them aside for the young master as a study.
Young master Zhang...
No need to make tea, Lao Huang.
I don't want any tea.
You don't want tea?
I'm not going to wash up.
You won't even wash your face?
You haven't retired for the evening yet?
What's this?
It's a pot of orchids.
There's no need to put out flowers at night.
The young madam told me to bring them for you.
I've been a lot of trouble for you today, Lao Huang.
No, not any trouble at all.
Time for bed.
Please come in.
I had no idea it was you.
You brought water over here by yourself?
He had me bring it over in case you get thirsty.
I don't drink at night.
I'll leave it just in case you need to wash up.
Thank you.
Here are towels and a toothbrush for you. Everything's brand new.
I have my own of all these things. You're too kind.
Keep them anyway.
It's been ten years since we've seen each other.
Lao Huang even found some candles for you.
After midnight the electricity goes off around here.
When the steam whistle [in town] goes off at midnight the electric lights go out.
I'll be going to bed soon anyway, I don't need the electric lights.
It's terrible of us to make you sleep in this room. Nothing here is as it ought to be.
No, I have everything I need.
I didn't know that the guest was actually you.
Yes, it's me.
Are you missing any bedding?
Nothing else needed.
You ought to have an extra sheet and a coverlet. It gets cold at night.
I'm not afraid of the cold.
- I'll go get them. - No, there's really no need.
I have to get them.
I'll be back in a moment.
Back in a moment.
- Don't bother on my account. - I'll only be a moment.
Yuwen...
Are you sick? Do you have a fever?
No, nothing like that.
I brought an extra sheet and coverlet. Let me make your bed.
You've already gone to too much trouble.
No problem at all.
I'll do it myself. I'll do it myself. Thank you.
How is his illness after all?
Not too bad.
He's had tuberculosis for so long now. Is he in any danger?
No, there's no danger.
Will he recover?
Yes, he'll recover.
Tell me the truth.
It's just that... his heart isn't in very good shape.
But you mustn't let him know.
Why don't you give him a thorough check-up tomorrow?
No problem.
- See you tomorrow. - Wait.
- Is he already asleep now? - He's asleep.
- Let him enjoy the sunshine every morning. - Ok.
These past few days the weather has been very nice.
Hmm. It's been sunny everyday.
- It'll be sunny and clear again tomorrow. - Yes, I think it will.
- See you tomorrow. - See you.
What's that?
The electricity's about to go off.
