Includes the entire text of cut off dialogue lines. Searchable and spoilered. Intro/Use I got really tired of missing out on what characters were saying when their dialogue got cut off by the text box so I have assembled the lines here that exceed a certain character limit based on my limited observations. When you come across a line that is truncated in-game, remember the first few words of the line then ctrl+f here to find it. Dialogues Liquor's truly such a nice thing! A little sip every now and then warms you up from head to toe, and it's so comforting. But you need to know your limits. A light drink is a pleasure; heavy drinking is no good at all. Just look at Yingjie. He makes a fool of himself every time he drinks too much. You must never follow his example! They say one should aim high and achieve greatness to be remembered. But I say not everyone needs that. There are many ways to live. Grand ambitions are fine, but choosing simplicity—being present, caring for those around you, keeping them happy—isn't that another kind of success? Since you came to the village, you've changed many people and things. You live seriously, work hard, interact with others with kindness, and are always willing to help others, making the people around you happier because of you. Even without those earth-shattering feats, in my heart, you're already a great hero. Wuqiang and Wenxiu are also children I've raised. Wuqiang has always been resilient and optimistic, and I'm really at ease with him. But Wenxiu is too sensitive and always brooding. However, since he doesn't want to tell me, I won't force him. Young folks need their secrets. Who says a woman can't lead? Some men are worse. Look at my so-called husband; he is an unreliable man. My youthful misjudgment, I take responsibility for it. But I won't chain the rest of my life to it, nor let Min suffer. I must give her a good life from childhood, so she won't be fooled by sweet talk later. I heard that you're good at all kinds of farm work. That's really amazing! Well, I wasn't good at farm work originally. But to support my family by myself and take care of Min, Wuqiang and Wenxiu, even if I was reluctant, I had to learn. Gradually, I became proficient. You don't have the burden of supporting a family, yet you can take the initiative to do it so well. I truly admire your hardworking spirit! I heard that you cook brilliantly! When I was a child, my dream was to be a chef and heal hearts through food. But I really didn't have the energy to pursue it after getting married and raising children, so I had to give it up. I've never told anyone this—yet your liveliness unearthed this old regret. Before I got married, when I heard about those good relationships between men and women, I also had expectations in my heart, dreaming of finding true love. Unfortunately, I made a wrong judgment… That's why I'm so worried about my daughter. I'm so afraid that she'll follow in my footsteps and live such a life. I always tell my children to be self-reliant and become independent people. But independence doesn't mean isolation. When you encounter difficulties, you should also be brave enough to ask for help. You've done so much for us, so don't hesitate to lean on others if you need. All along, we've all gotten through difficulties by helping each other. Mom scolds me sometimes, but after calming down, she holds my hand and explains patiently. I always feel wronged when scolded, and sometimes I can't help talking back a few words. But I've never resented my mom. I know she's doing it for my own good. Do you think mothers and daughters all over the world are like this? Even if they care about each other a lot, they can't avoid quarreling a bit. Mom can be very strict sometimes, and a bit childish at other times. Every time she mends our clothes, she will embroider a little flower on the patch. Wuqiang always mumbles to us privately, saying that how can a man's clothes have embroidery. But Wenxiu seems to like it quite a lot. Do you like rainy days? Well, although I hate the sticky feeling when my clothes get wet, I really like the sound of the rain. Especially when I lie in bed and listen to the rain outside… If mom doesn't forbid me from staying in bed, I could listen to it all day long! Do you have anything you don't like to eat? I don't like fruits, but mom always forces me to have some, saying that being a picky eater is bad for my health. But sometimes I think that mom is never a picky eater, maybe because she only cooks the dishes she likes… Mom banned me from wine when I was a child. Now she allows me to drink a little, but not getting drunk. She said it would be undignified to get dead drunk. I was really curious about the taste of wine or liquor before because my dad likes drinking a lot, and in books, it is described as nectar, which made me really yearn for it! But after I really tasted it, I found it wasn't that special. Wuqiang has been willing to play with me since we were little. Although Wenxiu is also very nice, he doesn't like joining us. Mom said that some people are naturally introverted, and if they prefer to stay alone, we should respect their wishes and not force them. Once I found a rattle-drum at home. Mom said it once was my favorite toy, but now I think it's not fun at all. Maybe it's because I've grown up and think it is too childish. It seems that what mom said is true. People really do change as they grow older. If that's the case, I don't want to grow up anymore! I like myself the way I am now and don't want to change at all! Sometimes I read books with Zhezhi and Jie'er, but we all read different things. I like storybooks. Zhezhi only likes reading agricultural books. I secretly took a peek at the book Jie'er was reading, and it was too profound for me to understand! What kind of books do you like? Maybe we like the same books! Your gifts are lovely! But I'm a bit worried… Do you have to risk danger for them? I have indeed heard that there are many treasures in that cave, but I see that you often come back with injuries, and it looks so painful… If you went there for me, I would feel really guilty! My parents often quarreled when I was a child. Although they would try to avoid me, how could I not know… Later, they stopped quarreling, but dad started to stay at home less and less… I also tried to persuade them to have a good talk, but they both said that I was too young to understand adult matters and told me not to interfere. What would you do if you were in my place? Although my dad is often not at home, he is very patient with me and sometimes takes me out to play. But dad really owes mom. I want my parents to make up, but it seems that doing so will make mom feel wronged… Every time I think about this, I feel worried. Has your martial arts become better and better? Before, every time you came out of the cave, you were always covered in injuries, and it looked so painful… But recently, it seems that there are a lot fewer wounds. However… Even though you are getting more and more skillful, I will still worry about you. You must take good care of yourself, please.. It just hit me that we've known each other for so long, but we've never been to the beach together! It's really fun there! We can not only play in the water but also pick up a lot of beautiful seashells! Come with me next time when you're free. I'll pick the most suitable one for you and string it with a beautiful red rope, and you can wear it then! In my opinion, between family members, tolerance matters most. Look at Bro Jiang. He has a stubborn temper. Fortunately, his wife is open-minded and doesn't hold grudges. They've had their little squabbles over the years, but they still live a harmonious and happy life. Continued My daughter Youfeng always thinks I can't tell right from wrong and just try to smooth things over. Well, she doesn't understand my difficulties! You see, with her and her mother both so fiery and arguing over right and wrong at the slightest disagreement, if I added fuel to the fire, this family would fall apart! I know you frequent that cave too. Please be very careful and don't be reckless. Don't mind my meddling. It's just that young people sometimes don't know their limits. If you get hurt, it's you who will suffer. … If you meet Youfeng, also help me give her a few words of advice. My husband always treats those useless stones as treasures all day long, saying that there are jades in them. I've scolded him so many times not to have such unrealistic daydreams, but he didn't listen at all! You mustn't follow his example and indulge in such unreliable things. Muyue has been thoughtful since she was a child. She won't make unreasonable demands, and it's even rare for her to act in pettish. But sometimes, I actually hope that she can be like Little Pea, laughing, crying, and playing to her heart's content in front of me, her mother, and not hold everything in by herself. Well, it's all my fault. Let me take a look… You have fewer injuries than before. It seems that your martial arts skills have improved a lot. Now I'm relieved. If… you see that my daughter Youfeng is in danger in that cave, would you please help her? Thank you in advance! My husband used to always persuade me that family bonds must be a rare fate from a previous life, and I should be more lenient towards my daughters. I didn't take this to heart before, thinking that no matter what, blood ties couldn't be broken. But now I understand that if I keep being harsh, even family members will drift apart. I wonder… if it's too late… Actually, I like drinking in private. But don't get me wrong! I'm not a drunkard! I just like the feeling of being slightly tipsy. It makes me feel happy for no reason. If only you were willing to drink with me. It would definitely be even happier with you around… If you like eating wild fruits, you can go and have a look at the intersection outside the village. There are quite a few fruit trees there… There are also some in the village… The fruits that ripen at different times are different. If you have a favorite, remember the season… Bao always tells me hero stories and keeps saying that he wants to be a great hero when he grows up. What a kid! So childish! What's so good about being a great hero? You have to leave your family and go out to make a living alone. How lonely! I don't want that! Yun'er has really suffered these years… This dilapidated family is all supported by her alone… However, the more guilty I feel, the more I can't help but quarrel with her. Maybe being scolded by her a few times can relieve my guilt a little… I… I'm sorry for her… You've only been in the village for a short time, but you've already achieved so much. That's really remarkable! You should remember to take proper rest and don't overwork yourself and hurt your body. My mother was too tired when she was young and that's why… Sorry, I shouldn't have said these unlucky things. Oh, Chulan is also a woman with a tough life. She lost her husband at a young age and has to raise the child all by herself. But I've never seen her complain to anyone. Don't be fooled by her delicate appearance. She's really strong-willed inside. At least, she's much stronger than me. I sometimes help Hongdi take care of the animals. Hongdi seems cold and doesn't like to socialize with others, but he's really kind-hearted. In fact, he doesn't really need help with those tasks. He just wants to find an excuse to help our family. I know that in my heart. Actually, I've always known that when the villagers ask me for help, it's not that they really lack the manpower. They just see that my family is in trouble and are afraid of hurting my pride, so they secretly help me in this way. That's why I have to work even harder and definitely can't let everyone's kindness go to waste! You've been here for quite a while. Have you found anyone special? I'm not urging you. I'm just speaking as someone who's been there and your acquaintance. Once you get married, you have to take on the responsibility. Whether it's good or bad, you have to try your best to preserve your home. Do you have anything you regret? Sometimes I think that some things we regret aren't necessarily because we didn't do well enough. It's just fate. If we're too hard on ourselves, keep getting stuck in the past and don't want to look forward, it will only lead to more regrets. Since you came here, many things have changed. Take me for example. I used to go to the ancestral hall often to pour out my grievances, hoping that our ancestors would bless us and make our lives better. But when I saw you turning the wasteland into fertile fields with your own hands little by little, I realized that it's better to rely on ourselves than to ask for help from others. If we want to live a good life, we still have to work hard on our own. I haven't been to your place yet. Do you have all the farming tools you need? If you're short of anything, go to that boy from the Shengs and ask him to make a new set. Remember I mean the elder son. He's good at blacksmithing. Don't accidentally go to the second son. That guy still lacks some skills! If you want to do farm work well, you need suitable farming tools, but that's not the most important thing. For us farmers, the most important thing is to have a strong body! I heard that besides farming, you have a lot of other work to do. Don't wear yourself out! My wife likes to play matchmaker the most. She must have approached you too, right? If you find it annoying, just avoid her. Don't blame her. I can understand her thoughts… Take me for example. No matter how tired I am from working outside, as long as I come home to hot meals and my waiting family, I feel that all the tiredness is worth it. She just hopes that everyone can have a lively and warm home. In our village, the most beautiful girls are Jie'er and Xizhi. But my Zhezhi is not bad either~ If she wasn't always working in the fields with her father and got a bit tanned… Well, every time I talk to her, she doesn't listen. Well, doing more farm work makes her body stronger, which is also good. My only hobby is playing mahjong. As soon as I'm free, I go to the tavern and play a few rounds with others. But we're just playing for fun, and no one ever gets angry over winning or losing. After all, the most important thing about playing mahjong is that everyone can get together and chat. Su Kang doesn't act like the head of the family at all. He only cares about enjoying himself all day long and doesn't care about the family affairs. My dear Xia really has a tough life. To my mind, she should have kicked him out long ago to save herself from seeing him around the house every day and getting annoyed! My father often says that a farmer must know how to use fertilizers. Different fertilizers have different benefits. Some can make the crops grow faster, and some can make the crops less likely to wither… Also, we need to be careful not to use too much, or it will burn the seedlings. Oh, by the way… I happen to have some with me. You can use them… Even More I'm embarrassed to say that I can tame this iron-smelting furnace perfectly, but I have no idea how to deal with that cooking stove… A few years ago, I almost burned down the house while cooking! After that, Aunt Wu wouldn't let me cook anymore and would bring the food to me. I guess it's a blessing in disguise, hehe! We brothers have depended on each other for survival. As the elder brother, I naturally must take care of my younger brother! But I'm a bit careless, while my younger brother is a sensitive person. He hides his worries in his heart and won't tell me. I can't figure out what he's thinking, and it's not proper to ask directly! Well, it's really worrying! Blacksmithing is physical work, and I have to stay next to the furnace. I'll sweat a lot in a day, and it's inevitable that there will be some smell. My younger brother is a clean person. He takes a shower frequently himself while also keeps an eye on me. Well, I can't even slack off! Yesterday, when I was blacksmithing, a spark landed on my arm. Although it didn't break the skin, it still hurt for a while. At that moment, I somehow thought of you. Thinking that you might get injured and feel pain when you go to the cave, my heart suddenly ached… My elder brother has always been friendly to others, but he doesn't like Uncle Su. I can really understand my elder brother's feelings. Uncle Su never takes care of his family. If it weren't for him, Aunt Wu wouldn't be so tired. I always remind myself not to be like him. My elder brother is only a few years older than me, but he's like a father and has taken on the responsibility of our family. Although the villagers say that Huilong is the best among the young generation in the village, I think my elder brother is the best. Alas… Perhaps as children grow up, they become less close to their parents. Jie'er has always been proper in etiquette since she was a child, and I don't need to worry about that. It's just that the relationship between us is not as warm as that of an ordinary family… It's really frustrating. Previously I saw you getting wounds after exploring the cave. Young people have great ambitions, and indeed, some minor injuries need not be fussed over. However, you still need to be more careful. If the injury is too severe, you must come to me in time for a check-up. Zhezhi's farming passion drives her through all trials. Her determination to keep going despite setbacks is really rare. Unfortunately, I haven't read many agricultural books, so I can only help her in a very limited way. You should know more about farming than I do. Please help her more. People with more similar personalities are more likely to have conflicts. Probably because they see the part of themselves that they dislike in the other person and are unwilling to admit it, so they can only cover up their lack of confidence with sharp attacks. Wine is a wonderful thing, but sometimes it can also cause trouble. Just take Xia Yingjie for example. He always takes up a seat here and mooches liquor, and he always pesters me to give him more. Thanks to my kindness, otherwise, I would have kicked him out long ago! I used to mumble. Can't tell now, right? I owe it all to Xizhi. If it weren't for her constantly encouraging me and giving me the motivation to correct it bit by bit, I wouldn't have gotten rid of this problem. I'll be grateful to her for the rest of my life. My home is a bit far from the village, so villagers rarely come to my home. Only Wenchang says he likes the scenery in the forest and comes here for a walk from time to time. Sometimes he stays at my home for a meal. We chat while eating, and it's really lively. My two grandchildren are also very happy and always look forward to his coming. My dear, do you have… anything you feel regretful about? People like us who are old can only regret when looking back at the memories, but we're helpless. You're still young, and there's still time for everything. You must cherish the important people around you, hold them tightly, and don't leave any regrets. My grandmother must have mentioned the matter of planting trees to you. I believe you will keep it in mind. I wonder if she also reminded you that when planting trees, you should try to plant them in a spacious place so that the branches and leaves can stretch out well. My younger brother and I were close when we were children. He always liked to follow me. Who would have thought that as he grew older, he would hate me more and more, even to the extent of disliking everything I like. Alas, I don't know what I did wrong… I'm an unqualified elder brother… Actually, I feel a bit guilty. Probably due to my lack of talent, I've never been able to fully learn all of my grandmother's skills. I really can't understand some blueprints, and the things I make are just ordinary… Please don't tell my grandmother about this. If she knew I was so troubled, she would be worried. Some days ago, I obtained some excellent golden phoebe wood. This kind of wood has a special fragrance and can repel insects. When made into a box, it can protect the items inside from being damaged by insects. I happen to have some extra on hand. You can take some too. My grandmother is very strict when teaching skills and doesn't allow us to make the slightest mistake. But in daily life, she is very tolerant of us. Sometimes I feel uneasy about this. My grandmother is getting old. If we still let her accommodate us, we, the younger generation, would be considered ignorant. Sometimes my grandmother will stare blankly at some old things alone, and I don't know what she's thinking. I hope that one day, she won't see me as a child anymore and will tell me all her worries so that I can share them with her. My grandmother used to be my greatest support in this world. Now that I've grown up, I also want to share her burdens. My grandmother is already the best carpenter in the village, yet she still laments that she lacks some talent and can't reach the peak. But in my heart, she will always be the best carpenter in the world. No matter how good others are, I haven't seen them. What do they have to do with me? I know my grandmother favors me. For the same things, she always has stricter requirements for my elder brother. I'm really grateful for my grandmother's love, but sometimes, I actually wish she could treat my elder brother and me equally and let me take on some responsibilities too. My father passed away when I was very young, and my memory of him is already blurred. According to my grandmother, every summer evening in the past, my father would bring back a big watermelon. Our family would sit happily at the door, enjoying the watermelon, cooling off, and chatting about daily life. Actually, I don't remember it clearly anymore, but maybe that's why I like eating watermelons. To be honest, sometimes I'm really curious about what's inside the cave. But my grandmother doesn't want my brother and me to take risks. To keep her from worrying, my brother and I have never entered that cave. You'd better go there less often, otherwise I… otherwise someone will worry about you. Finally The wrists easily get sore after doing carpentry work for a long time. Not to mention my grandmother, even my elder brother has already suffered from overuse injuries. A couple of years ago, I got a recipe from Uncle Li Yong and made medicinal tea for them to drink daily, hoping to relieve their symptoms. Hey! Don't tell them. In case they praise me, I'll be embarrassed. They still don't know about this until now and think that I like drinking this kind of tea. Oh, right. Take some of this tea. You should also take good care of your body. I've always heard my elder brother say that you're very good at carpentry. I didn't think it was anything special at first. But later I found out that you're also good at things like farming and fishing. Is there really someone in this world who can… love working so much? When I practice the flute alone, I always feel that I can't get the hang of it. Although there are people in the village who are good at musical instruments, I'm too shy to ask for help… Only with you can I open up and even tell you the embarrassing things. Mom used to tell me not to stare at the crops all day, but to go out more and enjoy the scenery. I didn't understand back then. I always thought there wasn't much to see outside… But now I'm starting to understand… If I can be with you… the scenery outside… really does seem beautiful… My parents gave me some contribution vouchers, saying I should keep them for emergencies. You take care of all our food and clothing, so I don't have any extra expenses. You should keep them instead~ Oh wait, no… I need to save a few, so I can get you little gifts… Aunt Wu asked why I never bring you home for a meal… I told her you've been busy, so she prepared these dishes for me to bring back for you, saying she made them specially for you… Could you spare some time and come with me next time… let's not disappoint her kindness~ These are the medicines Father prepared for you. He also said that if he had known it would come to this, he wouldn't have agreed to our marriage. It would've saved him from worrying and fussing over the younger generation in his old age… But he was only jesting, don't take it to heart. Zhang said that since I've long been teaching the village children, the village should have offered compensation long ago. I never cared about it though, so he just let me decline. But now I have a family to support, I shouldn't turn it down anymore. Since it's for “household use,” I'll leave these for you to manage. Father keeps urging me to urge you that you have a family of your own now, you should go to the cave less often. But I believe you have your own judgment, and you must have your reasons. I won't stand in your way. Only remember, there is someone at home who worries for you. Please take care in all you do. It's rather embarrassing to say, but aside from carpentry, I don't have any other talents… I'm afraid I'm not good at things like farming and cooking… Just give me a little more time. I'll ask others and learn. One day, I'll be able to share these burdens with you. I have to go back often to help Grandmother with chores, so I can't stay with you every day… You won't blame me, will you? You'll always come first in my heart! It's just… Grandmother's had a really hard life… And my brother works so hard too… I can't stop worrying about them… Grandmother was nagging me the other day, saying that now that I'm married, I still act so unsteady. Being too steady's such a bore, don't you think? Unless… you actually like people who are serious and steady… If that's the case… I guess I could try to change?
