[English subtitles are available] [A Love for Dilemma] [Sponsored by Shanghai Cultural Development Foundation] [Culture & Art Salon] [Episode 17] You’re back? Come on in. Why did you go out in your slippers? You didn’t bring your keys as well. I was worried about you. You didn’t reply my message. You didn’t answer my call.
I called your mother before, and she said that you left their house long ago. I would’ve called the cops if you didn’t return just now. Change into your slippers. Zi You is waiting for you. Your shoes are getting smaller. You’re growing so fast. Your feet are almost as big as mine now.
I need to buy new shoes for you now. Zi You, please don’t tell your grandparents about everything next time, okay? Aren’t we supposed to be united at heart? I’m doing everything for your own good. You’re the only one I can depend on in the future. Do you know that, my son?
I’m going to sleep now. Wake up. -What time is it? -6am. 6am? It’s that early? Why did you wake me up? -What is it? -Open it and take a look. You even made a box for it? No Temper Card? Reconciliation Card? Card of Unreasonable Demand? What are these cards?
I’ve given it a thought. I know I love to throw tantrums. Next time, you can use this if I’m going to argue with you. Use the No Temper Card and stop me from going berserk. If you couldn’t stop me, you can use the Reconciliation Card to reconcile with me. This is even better.
With this card, you can make an unreasonable demand. Really? Why do I feel like I have RMB 1 billion now? It’s more than that. Wait, there’s no need for me to use the Reconciliation Card. Mrs. Nan, it’s rare that you’re still acting like a girl. Stop joking around. Actually, it’s my fault.
I shouldn’t have hated you because of Zhong Yi’s matter. After I think about it, I realized you weren’t in the wrong. I was the one being emotional. I reflected on my actions as well. There’s no need for me to force him into a dead corner, am I right? But, you know my personality.
Once I’m enraged, it’s like I’m possessed by the devil. I’ll be very mean to everyone. I need to change somehow. There’s no need to change. When you’re enraged, you’re like an angry hen that’s trying to protect her chicks. You’re the hen over here.
I need to figure out what I can do with the Unreasonable Demand Card. I need to think about unreasonable demands. -Usually… -Take your time. I’ll think of something you wouldn’t agree to usually. Bring it on. Wait, you’re raising a flag for yourself. You raised three flags at once.
What are you talking about? Get up now. Make breakfast for me. It was exhausting for me to prepare these cards. -I need to go back to sleep. -Wait, you’re the one who woke me up. You want me to make breakfast? It’s 6am, you know?
I made these cards in the middle of the night, you know? -Go now. -I want to go back to sleep with you. -Make breakfast for me. -I want to sleep with Mother Hen. Make me some breakfast. Hurry up. -I’m exhausted. -I’m sure this is a plot of yours. Don’t forget about the activity
In Huan Huan’s school today. I was just thinking about it. I won’t forget about it. Close the curtains. You should eat more. Zi You, these are the question banks I got from Han Lin Private High School. I’ve spent a fortune on it.
Although we don’t know the quality of the new teacher in Elite Class, we mustn’t relax yet. You still need to complete a lot of questions. I don’t expect too much from you. From now on, you’ll wake up half an hour earlier and you’ll sleep half an hour later.
You’ll do two more sets of questions each day. Alright? Our Zi You is the best. You should eat more. Finish the sea cucumber. I’ll go and change my clothes now. Welcome, parents and students. Today is the first lesson for our parents’ class. Our theme today is “Please Praise Me”.
The tree beside me is filled with notes. They were written by our students. The notes contain matters that they did or someone else did that deserve praises. Let me share them with you guys. I’m happy because I wasn’t late. I realized that there’s a piece of paper at the back of the classroom.
I picked it up and threw it into the rubbish bin. Liu Yue Han was responsible for cleaning the blackboard after our Science lesson. I think she did a better job than anyone else. And she always put the blackboard duster in the same place. Everyone can participate in this activity.
Come forward and find notes that belong to you. Come. I’ll try to find yours. Let me see what you’ve written. -I found it already. -Tell me. Zhang Hu didn’t act mischievously during the entire lesson. Although our teacher didn’t praise him, I’ve praised him in my heart. Over here.
I like to play with Xia Huan Huan. Next time, I’ll choose her as one of our class committee. And this. Your friends all praised you because of your great results. You often helped them out. You were great at rope-skipping as well. The snail that Yan Zi You has reared is cute.
It can devour a big piece of leaf. I think he’s amazing. He knows a lot about animals. There’s another one over here. Xia Huan Huan was first in the singing competition today. She’s great. It’s your admirer. It’s your little fan. Yeah. All those notes might be about something insignificant,
But they’re very important to the students. Because all these praises will help our students to become more positive and optimistic. So, this activity will be maintained for our class. Next, we’ll enter the second segment, “Please Listen to Me”. Every student has the chance to stand on the stage
And tell your parents about your feelings. You can talk about happy things. You can complain about unhappy things as well. Come on. Who wants to be the first to share? When the students are speaking, I hope the parents won’t interrupt them. Let them say whatever they want today. Alright. For me,
I’m not unhappy. It’s just that I love chocolate. And my mother doesn’t let me eat them. She said I’ll become fat if I eat too many chocolates. But I found out that there are many chocolate wrappers in the rubbish bin under her makeup table. Mum was eating chocolates secretly in her room.
She was eating more chocolates than me! I want to tell my father that no one is bullying me. No one is giving me any nicknames. And I’ve received no letters from male students at all. Can you stop asking me all those questions? The thoughts of an old father.
Huan Huan, did any male students write a letter to you? -No. -You must tell me if someone wrote to you. There’s nothing! I hope my parents won’t be that busy. I hope they can accompany me more. I promise I won’t need Mum to accompany me anymore after I’m 12 years old. Go on.
Ever since I attended the tuition class, I’m more exhausted than before. I have less time to play as well. But I’m not worried at all. Because I know no matter what problems I face, my parents will always stand by me. They will protect me and support me.
I know Dad is wrong for fighting with the teacher in Ze Shu, but Dad, I wish to tell you this. I think that you’re the best. After I came to a big city like this, I realized that the world is a huge place. I love this place. I wish to stay here.
When I grow up, I’ll bring my sister and grandparents here. We’ll settle down here. I just hope that my father won’t be too exhausted from working. I hope that our family can stay together and never be apart from each other. Mi Tao is such a sensible girl.
I hope Mum can stop accompanying me. She should go to work. She’s keeping an eye on me every day. When I do something wrong, she’ll shout at me. She said she did everything for my sake. I was wondering why your teacher complained about you. So, it’s because you were distracted by this?
Do you know what situation we’re in? Time is precious, you know? You need to focus on your study. Why are you wasting time with dirty things like these? I really don’t like it when you guys argue. Does anyone else want to come to the stage? It’s fine. Be brave. So, who’s next?
You’re pretty brave, huh? Speak slowly. Don’t be nervous. I think my mother doesn’t love me. She only loves me when I get full marks. What are you talking about? You think I don’t love you enough? How else do you want me to love you?
Zi You’s mother, they have the chance to speak without restrain today. Please sit down and wait for your child to finish. Sit down and let him finish. You always say that you’re doing everything for my own good. But actually, you’re doing everything because of your pride. You’ve never cared for my happiness. Mum,
I think you’ve never wanted me to be happy. You’ll feel disheartened whenever I’m not studying. You’ll ask me to memorize words and answer questions during my free time. If I have a child in the future, I will never force him to attend tuition classes.
He can do whatever he likes. He can skip school if he likes. If he loves football, he can play from morning until night. Why is it that difficult for me to do something I like? Don’t you want to go and check on her?
I think I’m the person she doesn’t want to see the most. I’m sure his mother feels heartbroken after hearing this. We really shouldn’t force our children to do things they don’t like. Look at them. It’s meaningless, isn’t it? Yeah. Zi You was such an obedient boy, you know?
I guess she gave him too much pressure. So, what do you think about Ze Shu’s tuition class? Do we still let her attend it? I was thinking about that as well. Ze Shu’s concept is problematic indeed. Huan Huan, what do you think? But it’s hard for me to enter the Contest Prep Class.
If I don’t attend it, doesn’t that mean it’ll be harder for me to catch up? I want to continue with my tuition class. You’ve made up your mind? What if the new teacher is problematic as well? But I don’t want to be left behind.
Yan Zi You said that everyone likes a child who can get a full score. Huan Huan, no matter if you get a full score or not, your mother and I will still love you. Since you don’t want to be left behind, let’s do our best to catch up then.
Let me think of a good idea that can improve your result without exhausting yourself. You said before that I was the greatest father in the world, right? Look at his silly face. You’re back? What’s wrong with your mother? I’m asking you a question, you know? Both of you are mutes now?
What are we having for dinner? What’s wrong, Dear? You’re not cooking dinner today? Are we on a diet? What’s wrong? Don’t cry. What’s wrong, Dear? Tell me about it. I thought you attended the parents’ meeting today? Is it because Zi You didn’t do well in his exam? Don’t cry. My baby. Don’t cry.
What’s wrong? Tell me about it. I feel so bitter inside! It’s tough to be a mother, you know? I was worried about him every day. I raised him to such a big boy, yet he said that I don’t love him in front of everyone! He said I… Dear, don’t be angry, okay?
I would rather he slapped me in the face! It’s like my heart was pierced by a thousand needles! I don’t know what to do when I was there. Dear, it’s like this. Our child is still young. I’m sure he doesn’t mean what he says. Don’t take it to heart.
Don’t bear grudges against him. Yeah, he’s young. But what about you? You should share the burden with me! You should be worried about him! Now, I’m the one committing all of the evil deeds! I’m the villain of the house! I’m his stepmother! What are you saying? How could you be his stepmother?
Everyone knows that you did a good job in raising him up. My parents said that you contributed the most in raising him up. Dear. I contributed the most? What a load of nonsense. Yes, I did teach him well. He did get great results. Your parents can boast about him.
After that, they’ll tell me to work harder. They say that he can do better. What gives them the right to say that? Zi You will inherit our inheritance. There’s no need for our grandson to work so hard. Stop forcing our grandson to study. Yes, that’s what they said.
How does Zi You think about them when he hears those words? You and your family are kind Samaritans. I’m the only villain here. You know that they’re naggy by nature, right? They’re just naggy. How about this? I’ll lecture them when I have the chance, okay? Lecture them? Quit dreaming.
You won’t be able to lecture them even if you have my courage. You always obeyed them every time. Those words are quite hurting, you know? Listen, those words do hurt me. I’ve always obeyed them? I disobeyed them when I dated you. After we got married, you wanted to buy a house outside.
My mother was crying as if she was marrying her daughter off. Now, you’re saying that I’m siding with them instead of you? You’re such a heartless person. You’re a bad guy. I hate it when you speak in that way whenever we argue. Can’t you say anything else?
Will you keep complaining about that for the rest of your life? I think that’s enough. You think you’re the only one who had it rough? I had it rough as well, am I right? You’ve never cared for me ever since Zi You attended primary school.
You neglected me. That’s why I had it rough. All of us had it rough. -When did I neglect you? -You dare to say no? Tell me. How long has it been since we went to catch a movie or went shopping?
How long has it been since you’ve made sweet and sour pork ribs for me? Listen, if this continues, I’ll go crazy one day. Dear, you’re too inhumane. Dear, I’ll complain to the Women’s Federation. You’re abusing me. You’re abusing me! I sprained my waist. -Really? Are you okay? -I think
-you overdid it. -Let me take a look. -Are you okay? Let me give you a message. -You’re too strong. -Give me a massage. -You’re not kidding me, right? It feels great. Keep pretending. So annoying. Alright, Dear. Stop being angry, okay? He’s just insensible. I know you love him dearly.
Don’t take it to heart, okay? Alright, I’ll dote on you. Go and defrost the pork ribs. I’ll make sweet and sour pork ribs for you. Zi You loves it as well. The problem is I don’t know how to defrost it. I must’ve owed you two something in my past life.
It’s like I’m raising two sons! Two sons? Villagers of Xia Village, please take note. Villagers of Xia Village, please take note. Gather at the living room immediately. I have something important to announce. Gather at the living room immediately. The villagers are here! I have something important to announce. Sit properly.
Alright, village head. Please announce your news. -After… -Village head, we can hear you. You don’t need the speaker. I have a suggestion. Since Ze Shu’s tuition class is on weekends, can I replace Huan Huan for her class in the future?
I can study and digest the materials before I teach it to Huan Huan. That way, she doesn’t have to run around all week. And she doesn’t need to get used to their teacher roster. It’s a solution as well. But, if you do so, I guess there’s an additional process. The process isn’t important.
Our goal is to let Huan Huan improve her grades and learn in a more relaxing way. Huan Huan, the teachers there need to face over 10 students. But I only have to face you. Our time will be more flexible as well. We can read some books or play during weekends.
What do you think? I think this is a great solution. I think it’s great as well. So, it’s decided… But if we do so, it’ll be tiring for you. You need to work, attend classes, and teach Huan Huan as well. My exhaustion isn’t the main point here. So, it’s decided then.
-I agree. -I agree as well. So, everyone agrees! The ferry needs two days to reach Point B from Point A. It needs three days to reach Point A from Point B. If we put a stationary raft at Point A, how long will it take before it reaches Point B? Alright, next,
We have something more interesting. This is what we’ll teach for our lesson today. Comparatives. They’re very important. Does everyone understand? Understood. Very good. Let’s read it together now. Today, I’ll teach everyone a crossing method. First, take out your book and draw four points. After we eliminated Point A, B, and C,
Point D will obviously become our answer. Yes. So, the average boat speed is equal to the sum of both boats divided by two. The water speed is equal to the Speed B minus Speed A divided by two. -Understood? -Understood. I’ll give you a test then. How do you calculate the boat speed?
So, the average boat speed is equal to the sum of both boats divided by two. What about the water speed? The water speed is equal to the Speed B minus Speed A divided by two. Give me five! Here. Here, my baby. I’ll reward you with a packet of mixed nuts.
Dad, I’m not a kindergartener, you know? Even so, you need to replenish your energy. Studying is tiring. -I’ll replenish your energy as well. -Thank you, my baby. Boss. Come. So many books? What are all of these? Basic Maths One Plus One? Maths Done Easy? Math Olympiad, Student Version and Math Olympiad, Parent Version?
There’s even a parent version? I wouldn’t have known these books existed if I didn’t see them myself. This is just the tip of the iceberg. If we have the Math Olympiad Rainbow, English for Everyone, the red and yellow book, I guess this table can’t fit them all.
What you see today will be part of your future. Enough. Wedding is the end of one’s life. I plan to become a monk. Can you bear to part with your lovely ladies? I can’t bear to part with them. But Boss, speaking of which, you’re really popular lately.
You’re the friend of almost every maiden in our office. I didn’t expect the cold Mr. Xia in front of me to become someone like this. You’re into boats and counting chickens now? This is absurd. I’ll leave now. What’s so absurd about it? You haven’t apologized to your mother yet. I have.
But she ignored me. I’m sure you weren’t sincere enough with your apology. Wait. Think about the words you said in front of your friends. I don’t think anyone can stand that. How about this? Just treat it as if you’re showing me some respect. Go and coax my wife.
Go and speak with your mother, okay? Can you show me some respect? You’re as stubborn as your mother. [It’s fine.] Dad, thank you so much! I was only able to enjoy myself here because you attended my class for me. It’s fine as long as you’re happy. Look at your silly face. Look!
It’s lucky that our car is spacious enough for them to sleep. These two little devils are so energetic. My arms and legs couldn’t catch up with them. I guess I’ll be dead tomorrow. Activate the massage function and relax. Everything is worth it.
Did anyone tell you that you’re the best husband in the world? You’re the best father as well. Really? Thank you, Dear. But I can still improve. Okay. Please calm down. -Here are your noodles. -Thank you. Waitress, come here! I told you I don’t want it spicy!
Why is this so spicy? How could a child eat this? Did your company even provide training for you guys? Call your manager over here right now! Madam, I’ll change it for you, okay? Here’s your water. Please wait a minute. I’m sorry. There were so many people just now. When I was young,
My family was poor. I will work in a restaurant during my winter break as well. Only those who are intelligent can take orders. I was a newcomer back then. I can only wash dishes behind the kitchen. If I’m slow at my job, I will be scolded by all kinds of people.
I remember that my boss has a bad temper. One time, when he was angry, he threw a plate of food at me. And I had no choice but to endure it. Because that boss of mine gave me RMB 100 more than the other restaurants. I can last two weeks
With RMB 100 back then. I’m sure everyone has endured hardships when they were young. Your current hardship is nothing compared with mine. Liu, help me out. Brother Da Mi, it’s time to change your bike. The battery is too expensive. I can buy a car with that money. -Hurry up! -Alright. Be careful.
RMB 30. Boss, how much for one pound of peaches? -RMB 5.80. -Are they sweet? Let me move them. You can weigh the peaches for her. -Boss, are they sweet? -They’re sweet. Take a plastic bag and weigh them for this lady. -Here. -Little girl, you’re helping out your parents when you’re this young?
Tell her that you’re not young anymore. You’re 11 years old now. She’s 11 years old? They are very fresh? Only peaches? Nothing else? -I’ll buy peaches today. -Alright. It’s RMB 11.60. When you grow up, or maybe when you become a parent, only then, you’ll understand how I feel. Let me do it.
-Thank you, young boy. -You’re welcome. You do try to understand people’s hardship. You should try to understand my hardship as well. I’m your mother, you know? Alright. If you can get second place or above in the Math Olympiad Cup, I’ll allow you to play football for half an hour every day. Really?
I admit defeat, okay? You can eat more today. Do you want fried chickens? I do. Waitress, please get us a set of fried chickens. Alright, please wait a moment. Dad. Thank you, daughter. Did you finish your homework? Look after our stall then. I’ll park my bike.
Please try to complete it as soon as possible. The shop will start its operation soon. Are you sure you can finish in time? Mrs. Nan, don’t worry. We’re on schedule. Here, Mrs. Nan bought all of this with her own money. -Mrs. Nan, you’re too courteous. -Come and take them.
You’re always this courteous when you visit our site. It’s what I’m supposed to do. Give them to the other workers. Alright. Come, my brothers. Mrs. Nan bought us some snacks. Hello, Mum? What? -Come. -Alright, I’ll be there immediately. Excuse me, I need to go. Please write them down if you have any questions.
-Alright, don’t worry. -I just lost my footing. I don’t think it’ll be that serious. But, when I tried to go upstairs, my waist hurts so much that I couldn’t stand up. I… Mum, what happened to you? I’m fine. You didn’t need to come. The nurse insisted that I should give you a call.
Doctor, what’s wrong with my mother? She’s experiencing a compression fracture of her vertebral body. She’s lucky that it isn’t that serious. Why am I suffering from a fracture? It isn’t that serious, right? Please don’t scare me. It’s easy for ladies at your age to suffer from osteoporosis
You’ll suffer a fracture if you’re not careful enough. -Does she need to go for an operation? -I won’t do it. No. I can’t stand operations. Be obedient. You’re at the hospital now. Listen to the doctor. From her results and our observation, this is only a minor problem.
You can choose to go for conservative therapy. We can do an external fixation for her. But she must stay on the bed for more than four weeks. Stay on the bed? Does that mean she needs to lie down for four weeks? She has to do everything on her bed. She can’t sit up.
And you need to turn her body over from time to time. You must remember to turn her body over without affecting her waist. Does she need to stay in the hospital for the next four weeks then? I don’t think so, but you should let us observe her for some time.
If there’s no problem, she can return home and rest. But she must stay on the bed for four weeks. -Thank you, doctor. -Rest well. Thank you. You almost scared me to death. I’m done for. Am I paralyzed now? I can’t dance and sing anymore. Enough already. Look at the situation you’re in.
You still want to dance and sing? Who will send the kids to school then? Who will send their breakfast to them? Enough already. Don’t worry. I called Xia Jun Shan already. He’ll pick up the kids today. Now, you should rest. You’re saying as if our family won’t be able to function without you.
