"For fate, it's good to be able to live up to the other party. It's hard to live up to this life."

1. Xiaoxiao and Jianqing, who had finally confirmed their relationship, were hugging each other happily on the streets of Beijing, looking intoxicated. About the future, they are smug, as if happiness is within reach.

On the taxi back home, Xiaoxiao stuck her head out of the car window and shouted into the night sky like a madman: "Beijing, do you hear? We're going to send it soon! We're going to send it! Beijing, you Did you hear that?"

Seeing Qing giggling beside him, Xiaoxiao followed, hehe, the two cuddled tightly together, laughing like children.

2. Jianqing was arrested and jailed for resale of pornographic discs. Xiaoxiao was worried that Jianqing's relatives and friends would miss her, so she specially reunited with Jianqing's family during the Chinese New Year and had a New Year's Eve dinner together.

At the dinner table, she hurriedly took out the gifts she bought and distributed them to everyone, trying her best to pretend to be very happy, and kept saying, "Jianqing bought them for everyone. He was busy with work during the New Year and asked me to bring it to my uncle and aunt. Also asked me to greet everyone..." The warm atmosphere at the dinner table was created by her, everyone was very happy, but no one noticed Xiao Xiao's unconcealed loneliness.

3. See Qing's father's letters to the two children are usually unremarkable, but those few words can always inadvertently poke tears.

"It's New Year's Eve again. I just steamed two drawers of sticky bean buns. When I got the pot, I shrugged my eyes. This year's yellow rice noodles are very sticky. I left a drawer for you. You didn't come back last year. I had to throw it away... It doesn't matter what you eat for New Year's Eve, what matters is who you eat with, and eat comfortably and steadily. That's what I care about the most.
You are busy outside all year round, and you are afraid that you will not be able to eat well. Can those takeaways be delicious? A family can reunite for a meal, but also fate. As for fate, no one can tell.
As parents, it doesn't matter who you are with, whether you have achieved success or not, how much money you make. I just hope that you can live the life you want, live a solid, happy and healthy life, and you will have to wait until you are old to realize this.
Eat well, no matter when, come back for the New Year. "

4. The two are in love.

Xiaoxiao: "You said that we are so happy now. In case we break up one day, we will never see each other in this life."

Jianqing: "That's not good, I still have to see you, I have to know if you are doing well."

5. "Beipiao" lived a poor and hard life, but seeing Qing and Xiaoxiao enjoying themselves in hardships, they often cooked a large pot of instant noodles for dinner, and the two of them ate head to head and ate with relish.

Occasionally there is a bit of romance, such as deliberately making some big moves in the bed scene in the partition that is not soundproof, or in the small woods with yellow leaves in the sky, seeing Qing riding a bicycle shuttle, Xiaoxiao sitting on the handlebars with both hands. Holding his shoulder, the two of them looked at each other with a happy look. Even if they were separated later, these little details are memories they will never forget for a lifetime.

6. There is embarrassing silence in the rental house.

Xiaoxiao: "Half of the instant noodles left, I'll keep it for you... After we break up, we won't meet again."

Seeing Qing still couldn't hear him, he didn't look back, and frantically played games against the computer. Only the screeching sound of keystrokes was heard.

Xiaoxiao turned around and left.

After seeing Qing recover, he quickly got up and chased out, and finally saw Xiao Xiao in the subway car, but he had no courage to keep her, and stared blankly at the subway carrying Xiao Xiao away.

7. One winter night after many years, the two unexpectedly reunited.

Jian Qing: "What if you didn't break up with me at that time? What if we stayed together until the end? If I was rich enough, we lived in a big house with a big sofa, if we just ignored it, if we were Married? If we hadn't left home for Beijing..."

Xiaoxiao: "If not if."

Jian Qing: "We have everything after that."

Xiaoxiao: "But we are gone."

8. Recalling the past, the two of them couldn't help feeling emotional.

Xiaoxiao: "See Qing, I missed you."

Jian Qing: "I miss you too."

Xiaoxiao: "I mean I missed you."

Then they all cried.

9. At the end of the film, seeing Qing's father has passed away, but Xiaoxiao received a letter from the old man, Xiaoxiao choked up while reading it.

In fact, the old man has never forgotten Xiaoxiao, and frankly wants to see Jianqing and Xiaoxiao go to the end, but the world is unpredictable. The embarrassing mistake made the old man brood. At the train station, Jian Qing's father, who was blind, mistook Jian Qing's wife for Xiao Xiao. The old man wrote in his letter a word that was both comforting and reproachful,

"For fate, it's good to be able to live up to the other party. It's very difficult to live up to this life. And these will only be realized when you are old."

It was hit hard at the time.
