Episode 5 recap: Deng Li Jun did her utmost to protect her father.
When Duan Ning stepped up to the podium and began speaking, everyone started talking about the rain, because Duan Ning's prepared speech was about the bright sun, so the students in the audience burst out laughing. At this time, Zhao Su Gui and the neighbor also came over. Originally she did not want to attend her daughter's graduation ceremony, after all, there were too many children at home, but when they came, they did not expect to see Deng Li Jun standing on the stage.
The night before, Deng Li Jun and her family were rehearsing playfully, and Deng Shu also came over, just in time to see her daughter on the stage. Deng Shu quietly watched until the end, thinking it was raining and she had come to bring her daughter a raincoat, but she just happened to see her daughter standing on the stage.
Duan Ning was very angry and said that Deng Li Jun was sinister, even though the teacher had provided the speech, Deng Li Jun said something different. Duan Ning was also complaining that Deng Li Jun's name was even her own, because her father had named her "Deng Li Jun". Duan Ning's family only had one child, but Deng Li Jun gave her younger brother to a good friend, while Duan Ning refused.
Deng Li Jun also said that except for her own family members, she could give everything else to Duan Ning. Duan Ning was admitted to middle school, and Zhou Min had already prepared a uniform for her daughter. The mother also told her daughter that she must never fail in life, and the last incident was because her daughter was not agile enough, and the opponent was the enemy. Zhou Min had been teaching her daughter this way since she was young.
Originally the husband just wanted to take the daughter to the photo studio to take a picture, but Zhou Min insisted that Duan Ning walk from one end of the street to the other end, wearing the new school uniform, blatantly showing off her current achievements, and she had to walk slowly, smiling and nodding slightly, with the posture fixed. Duan Ning did not want to do this, but Zhou Min forced her, so Duan Ning went back to her room.
The husband also tried to persuade his wife not to do this, but the wife was very dissatisfied, feeling that she was originally from a noble family, and now she had lowered her standards a lot. Seeing her parents arguing, Duan Ning still put on her school uniform and walked around the streets, but she was not as happy as they thought. Deng Li Jun was always by her side comforting her, and also loudly announced on the streets that Duan Ning had ranked first.
Deng Li Jun did not get into the high school of her choice, but her family did not blame her. The daily life continued as usual, and her elder brother would accompany her to practice singing every day. A few more years passed, and Deng Li Jun still loved singing very much. Every day, she would practice by the small river with her brother's accompaniment. The third brother really liked reading, and even when he accompanied his sister to sing, he would always have a book in his hand.
Although many years had passed, the owner of the dance hall still wanted Deng Li Jun to sing and earn money, but she was still stopped by the director. When Deng Li Jun and her brother went back, they suddenly saw a group of thugs bullying their father, and even made a mess of the steamed buns at home. The two wanted to go help their father, but Deng Shu told them to go back.
Deng Shu was bullied like this all the time, but luckily the black dog appeared in time. Seeing that the elder brother was being bullied, it scolded the thugs severely and asked everyone to pick up the steamed buns.
Deng Li Jun was very angry and also felt guilty because her family didn't have enough money to open a steamed bun shop. When Deng Shu returned home, he was hiding something, and when his wife saw the bruises on his face, she hurried to ask about it. Just then, Deng Li Jun and his third brother also came back, and seeing their father injured, they quickly took the first aid kit to help him. Deng Shu kept saying he was fine and asked Zhao Su Gui to go cook.
To cheer up their father, Deng Li Jun even played the fan letters for him, and as Deng Li Jun ate his father's steamed buns, tears couldn't help but fall. Originally, she wanted to borrow money from the boss, but the boss said only signed artists could get an advance, and Deng Li Jun was still a minor, so her father had to sign.
The siblings quickly stationed themselves at the door to stall their father, and the second brother kept him company drinking, just to buy time. They secretly took their father's seal and eventually signed the contract for their sister at the radio station. When Deng Shu found out, seeing his children afraid of being punished, and knowing the hard-earned steamed bun shop, he finally gave in.
Soon the Deng family's small restaurant officially opened, and all the neighbors came to eat. Deng Li Jun's siblings all helped out in the shop. Duan Ning was writing letters to her pen pal every day, and Deng Li Jun said it would be bad if her mother found out. Since Deng Li Jun was now a signed artist, she had to go to the photo studio to take pictures, and she brought Duan Ning along.
The youngest brother teased Deng Li Jun about her signature having too many strokes, but when their father came back, Deng Li Jun quickly showed him the signed photos. However, their father told her to focus on her studies, as she was still in school, and praised Duan Ning.
When their mother saw the photos, she quickly made the children go upstairs, and under Deng Shu's coercion, Deng Li Jun said "I'll focus on my studies, the family doesn't rely on my earnings." Deng Li Jun felt she did nothing wrong and cried, feeling wronged. Duan Ning was writing to her pen pal and planned to send a photo of herself and Deng Li Jun, when Zhou Min came in with a late-night snack, and Duan Ning quickly hid her letter.
Over the years, Duan Ning's father had been having an affair with the barber, but Zhou Min never knew.
