A Long Way Home (2023) 父辈的荣耀 Episode 12 Recap & Review
Episode 12: Parents of both parties prepare for their children’s marriage
Although Chen Xingjie was successful in his studies and stayed in school to teach, the university teacher had a good reputation and respect at best, but his salary was too conservative to give Lin Xiaoqing a prosperous life. Therefore, Jiayi always looked down upon this future son-in-law, thinking that he had a poor background and was at most a wild phoenix flying out of a mountain nest. She was also concerned about his complicated family and a biological mother who was not doing well, and was worried that her daughter would be wronged if she married him.
Gu Zhaocheng is still a ranger and has no prospects for development. Liang Fengxia is unwilling, especially when she hears the news that Chen Xingjie is going to get married, she suddenly asks Gu Zhaocheng to hold a grand wedding for herself. Gu Zhaocheng was a little at a loss. After all, the two had been married for ten years, so there must be a reason for the sudden wedding. Liang Fengxia compared Gu Zhaocheng and Chen Xingjie.
They were both children from forest farms. Why were their circumstances completely different? She thought that she and Gu Zhaocheng would also have a wedding that was no worse than Chen Xingjie. Neither of them should be rejected.
Because Liang Fengqin’s household registration is in Shandong, the school teacher told her that if she did not move her household registration back to Bianhe, she might not be able to take the college entrance examination.
The textbooks in Shandong and Bianhe are completely different, and Shandong has a higher score line, which is not conducive to Liang Fengqin. The teacher persuaded Liang Fengqin to make it clear to his parents, so as not to delay his studies.
Gu Changshan and Lin Heng took the train to Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Considering the long journey, they chose hard sleepers. Gu Changshan was obviously a little reserved, but Lin Heng was very friendly. Regarding the two children, he only hoped that they could live a good life. Because long-distance trains are crowded with people and the passengers are relatively messy, Jiayi, who has a mysophobia, can’t stand this environment and can’t help but complain. Upon seeing this, Gu Changshan bought two sleepers for Lin Heng and his wife, but Lin Heng only let Jiayi stay there, while he and Gu Changshan stayed in the hard sleeper to chat.
Liang Fengqin returned home to help Na Chuhua with work. She was sensible and noticed that Song Liuxi had a bad back, so she used her pocket money to buy a waist protector. Na Cunhua received a call from her teacher before and knew that Liang Fengxia needed to transfer her household registration, so she accompanied her to find Ma Xiaoyun to discuss the transfer of household registration.
It happened that Ma Xiaoyun bought new shoes for Liang Fengqin and wanted to take them with her to store flowers. When she heard about the transfer of household registration, she readily agreed. However, Liang Fengqin refused to move to Ma Xiaoyun’s household registration, which made Ma Xiaoyun very angry. He threatened Liang Fengqin to call herself mother with his household registration, but Liang Fengqin refused decisively, preferring to stay in the valley for the rest of his life. After Liang Fengqin left, Na Cunhua persuaded Ma Xiaoyun that he should not get angry with Liang Fengqin and delay his child’s studies and future.
Then Gu Changshan and Lin Heng came to Guangshen, and Lin Xiaoqing and Chen Xingjie drove them to see the house. Jiayi was obviously dissatisfied with the house. She felt that the location was very remote and the area of the house was small, so she was picky about it. Especially when she heard that Chen Xingjie had paid the down payment for the house and needed a loan for more than 20 years, her expression suddenly changed.
In order to make Lin Xiaoqing’s life better, Chen Xingjie planned to quit his job at school and find a job with a higher salary. Lin Xiaoqing feels that Chen Xingjie is under a lot of pressure. Although there are still many practical problems in front of him, the two can understand each other and are very affectionate. They will still be able to overcome these difficulties in the future.
That night, Chen Xingjie and Lin Xiaoqing booked a hotel for the three of them. Gu Changshan felt sorry for the children’s expense and wanted to change to a guest house, but Chen Xingjie persuaded him to stay. Chen Xingjie and Lin Heng and his wife were honest about their true thoughts, and promised to give Lin Xiaoqing a good life, and bear all the house purchase money by themselves. These words made Jiayi no longer angry.
Chen Xingjie will never forget the Gu family’s kindness to Chen Xingjie, and made it clear that he will help the Gu family in the future. Gu Changshan handed over the 30,000 yuan he had accumulated to Chen Xingjie, and he must not let him treat the girl badly. Huang Xiaoping’s delay in showing up made Jiayi a little dissatisfied. After the Gu family and the Lin family finished eating in the restaurant, Gu Changshan, Lin Heng and Chen Xingjie rushed to pay the bill, which attracted the attention of other customers.
Liang Fengxia and Gu Zhaocheng were preparing for their wedding, while Chen Xingjie and Lin Xiaoqing took wedding photos and sent them to Chuhua. Na Cunhua was very happy and suggested that Liang Fengxia and Gu Zhaocheng also take a group of wedding photos. Unfortunately, Gu Zhaocheng was a blockhead and just thinking about saving money did not take care of Liang Fengxia’s emotions.
Everyone arranged the scene at the wedding venue and waited until evening to see Huang Xiaoping, who had arrived late. Huang Xiaoping originally failed to fulfill her promise to buy the house in full, and now she is several days late in meeting the woman’s relatives. Naturally, it is a bit rude. Realizing this, Huang Xiaoping specially bought a gold bracelet for Lin Xiaoqing, and proposed to book a restaurant for dinner, but everyone was a little tired and went back to the hotel to rest.
