Episode 14 recap: Deng Shu agreed to let his daughter sing.
Tonight is Deng Li Jun's first time on stage, so the aunties in the neighborhood have all changed their clothes early to go and support Deng Li Jun. Everyone sees Deng Li Jun getting made up and praises how good-looking she is, and now they are waiting for Deng Li Jun's performance.
Auntie Chen is also helping backstage. The host announces Deng Li Jun's appearance, but the host keeps mispronouncing her name. Deng Li Jun, whose name is actually Deng Lijun, doesn't really mind. Her father is also watching his daughter sing from the audience below, and everyone praises how well Deng Li Jun sings. He is very happy, and Deng Li Jun is also very happy on stage - perhaps this is enough.
Singing is indeed something that can make Deng Li Jun feel happy and joyful. After she finishes singing, the aunties even bring her flowers to congratulate her. Deng Li Jun says on stage that today is her father's birthday, so she specially sang his favorite song to celebrate him. Zhao Su Gui can't help but shed tears backstage watching this.
Deng Shu finally couldn't hold back his tears either - his daughter has become successful and is his pride. The director gets very angry when he finds out Deng Li Jun has now signed a contract with the music hall. Initially they didn't want her to sign because they thought she should focus on her studies. But when Deng Shu explains the situation, the director says they can still let her sing at the radio station if she wants to. Deng Shu thanks the director, saying that if he hadn't let Deng Li Jun sing at the radio station back then, perhaps she wouldn't have developed this love for singing.
Deng Shu praises the director to the skies, and the director doesn't have much else to say. During the day rehearsals, Deng Li Jun had also put forth her own ideas, which were seen by Xiao Chun. Xiao Chun deliberately brought up a Minnan song to put Deng Li Jun on the spot, using reverse psychology to try to make Deng Li Jun look bad, but Deng Li Jun was still willing to give it a try.
Afterwards, she went to find the drummer brother to help her, and have him teach her to sing in Minnan. When the evening performance came, it was Deng Li Jun's first time trying to sing in Minnan, and the audience below expressed their dissatisfaction, making Deng Li Jun feel nervous on stage for the first time. Many customers left, and Deng Li Jun's fan even fell to the ground.
This was the first time Deng Li Jun felt a sense of defeat. When she got home, she looked at the comics Zhou Taisheng had drawn for her, and after thinking for a long time, she wrote him a letter, talking about the difficulties she had recently encountered. But then she tore up half the letter, since Duan Ning doesn't allow them to have contact.
To get better at Minnan, Deng Li Jun found some local hooligans to help her. You hope that Deng Li Jun can learn it well. After this period of practice, Deng Li Jun's Minnan has greatly improved, and she's become very adept at it. During this time, her mother has also been secretly observing Deng Li Jun and the drummer brother, not wanting her daughter to be taken advantage of.
When it was time for the evening rehearsal, the teacher asked Deng Li Jun to change the song, which was actually Zhao Su Gui's decision. Deng Li Jun didn't understand why his mother wanted him to change the song, and when he went back, Zhao Su Gui was still in a bad mood, while Deng Shu was trying to mediate between them.
Since Deng Li Jun was scolded the day before, he was in a bad mood and didn't even come to his mother's rehearsal. After learning about this, Chen Yi still felt that Zhao Su Gui had handled it a bit inappropriately, after all, Deng Li Jun simply loved singing.
Zhou Tai Sheng received a letter, thinking it was from Deng Li Jun, but when he opened the tape, he found it was a message from Duan Ning, which made him feel quite disappointed.
When Deng Li Jun came back from singing, he felt a bit down. Zhao Su Gui was still talking to her sons about the unpleasant incident with her daughter today, and mentioned that her eldest son was also of marriageable age, so it was normal for him to have a romantic relationship. Deng Li Jun was still upset and went to ask his mother why she didn't allow him to be friends with the drummer, but Zhao Su Gui felt that the drummer was pursuing her daughter, so she didn't want them to get involved.
Zhou Tai Sheng's original plan was to send some medicine back to his husband, but encouraged by his son, he decided to go to Taipei in person. The first thing Zhou Tai Sheng did when he returned was to find Deng Li Jun, who was just about to go to the movies with the drummer. When Deng Li Jun saw some colored scenes in the movie, he wanted to leave, and the drummer tried to stop him, which was seen by Deng Li Jun's brother, who then attacked the drummer. Zhou Tai Sheng also joined the fight.
In the end, they were all taken back by the youth team. Zhou Tai Sheng quietly slipped over to Deng Li Jun and asked why she hadn't replied to his letter, but Deng Li Jun's brother saw them getting close and insisted they separate.
The boss told everyone to come bail them out quickly if they got caught by the police, not wanting to make things too complicated. But the boss was unwilling to bail out Zhou Tai Sheng, even when Deng Li Jun pleaded for him. In the end, only Zhou Tai Sheng was left at the police station.
Deng Li Jun told Duan Ning that Zhou Tai Sheng had been arrested.
