[English subtitles are available] [A Love for Dilemma] [Sponsored by Shanghai Cultural Development Foundation] [Culture & Art Salon] [Episode 41] Can we have a drink? You want to drink? You’re still sick, you know? You can drink on my behalf. Alright then. Since young, I thought I provided Zi You with a great life.
He has everything ready for him. I even prepare his toothbrush for him when he wakes up. I’m serious. His only responsibility was to study and learn. I handled everything else for him. I felt like giving myself an award for being a great mother. But what happened in the end?
I didn’t expect it to be so tough for him. And it was because of me. It’s funny, right? Look at me. I can even dig out my heart for Huan Huan, you know? I was thinking that everything will be fine when she overcomes it.
And she’ll be thankful to me when she grows up. In the end? Huan Huan hates me. Xia Jun Shan hates me. Even my parents aren’t supportive of me. Tell me, did I do wrong? Did we do wrong? Actually, ever since Zi You fell sick, I’ve been asking myself the same question.
Was I wrong? I felt wronged. I did everything for his sake. I didn’t want him to take the difficult path. I pushed him onto a relatively stable path which everyone else was taking. Was I wrong? But, it didn’t work. My child couldn’t endure it. He couldn’t stand it. He couldn’t hold on.
Huan Huan thinks that I don’t love her. How could I not love her? Of course I love her. I don’t know what I can do to love her even more. But maybe, it’s because I’ve attached many conditions to my love for her. But our children love us unconditionally. He forgave me
Because I allowed him to play football. So, I’ve made my decision. I’m his mother. I can do anything for my son’s sake. I don’t believe it. I’ll make a bet for his sake. I’ll let him choose him own path, even if he’s choosing the difficult path.
There’s no need for him to be afraid when I’m beside him. I don’t want a top student as my son anymore. I just want my son. Actually, we don’t want a good future for our children. We just want children with a good future. [Back then, your uncle and I]
[often came here to fish.] [He’s better at fishing than me.] [He always caught more fishes than me.] [I know Father always comes here to pray every year.] [But Father was the one who annihilated the Zhen Yuan tribe.] [For some things,] [you won’t understand even if I tell you right now.]
[When you’ve experienced enough…] It’s fine. It’s not too late for us to stop right now. Let’s forget about the end result. Let’s just submit to fate. We just need to go all out. Let’s go all out. Hello, delivery service. -Are you Mrs. Tian? -Yes, I am.
Your husband wanted us to deliver the chicken soup to you. Please show us your verification code. Verification code? Okay. -Thank you. -No problem. Hello, Dear? -Did you send me some chicken soup? -[It’s there already?] They’re really efficient indeed. It’s the famous chicken soup in our area. But they don’t do any delivery services.
[That’s why I hired them to deliver the soup to you.] You and Nan Li can enjoy it. Just treat it as a gift from me. Alright. Just take care of Zi You and Huan Huan for me. That’ll be a great help to me. I’ll hang up now. Someone else is calling me.
Take good care of yourself, okay? Hello? Your wife is sleeping soundly. I was wondering why she didn’t answer my video call. How is she? She’s much better now. Her fever went away at around 4am. That’s great to hear. -Thank you so much. -You’re being too courteous.
[By the way, Chao Chao and I have bought the place tickets.] We’ll return by tomorrow. This is a great time for you to return home. Everyone will only be at ease when you guys are back. Yeah. Thank you so much for everything you did.
[No problem. Just treat me to a feast when you return.] No problem. I’ll hang up now. Goodbye. Chao Chao, are you done packing? Yeah, remember your dinosaur as well. This one. What time is it? It’s still early. Sleep for a little while more. I feel alive after a good rest.
Xia Jun Shan called me just now. They’ll return by tomorrow. Did you guys argue again? How did you know? It’s too obvious. Xia Jun Shan is a slave to his daughter. And you’re forcing Huan Huan to do things she doesn’t like. Of course you guys will argue. Yeah.
It was meaningless now that I’ve thought about it. He spoiled you too much. You’re taking everything for granted. If Yan Peng were half as good as Xia Jun Shan, I’ll wake up with a smile every day. I’ll open the door. You just recovered. Take your time.
Why are you only opening the door by now? -My goodness. -Hello, Auntie. I… Where’s Nan Li? Nan Li was uncomfortable. She’s resting inside. You should take a look. -Li Li, you feel uncomfortable? -It’s just minor flu. -Mum. -She’s almost fully recovered. -What happened to you? -It’s nothing.
It’s nothing. I feel much better after a good night’s sleep. My fever is gone now. You had a fever? What was your temperature? Let me check. Mum, flu is contagious. You should stay away from me. I thought something was strange. Last night, I couldn’t sleep well. My heart was beating rapidly, you know?
Seems like our hearts are interconnected. I’m fine now. What about Huan Huan? Did Huan Huan catch the flu as well? No, she didn’t. Yan Peng brought her back. I was wondering why she was here. I… I was sick when she came and visit me. She couldn’t just leave me in the lurch, right?
She sent me to the hospital and she stayed here to take care of me. You’re strange. Your mother is right over here, am I right? Can’t you just give me a call? You were hiding this from me when I called you, am I right? You’re an old woman.
Your body immunity isn’t that great anymore. What if you caught the flu as well? Who’ll take care of you then? But now, I’m here. I can take care of you now. By the way, Xia Jun Shan and Chao Chao will return by tomorrow. You need to thank Tian Yu Lan.
She’s been guarding over me for the entire night. I’m not that dumb, okay? -It’s good that you know that. -Here’s some chicken soup from Yan Peng. I’ve removed the layer of oil. Drink it while it’s hot. Thank you. Thank you so much. How dare you laugh at me?
I’ll bring Huan Huan back when Nan Li feels better. -Sorry for the trouble. -Not at all. -Goodbye, Auntie. -Alright. By the way, Auntie, there are Vitamin C effervescent tablets on the table. You should drink them. It’s better for us not to get sick during this crucial moment. Alright. -Goodbye. -Goodbye. Auntie,
Nan Li thought she contracted the NCP when she was in the hospital. She even wrote down her will. You’re the person she worries about the most. I understand. Two of you are great girls. Goodbye. Did you hold classes by impersonating other teachers? I didn’t impersonate others, I just…
What is done by night appears by day. Everyone knows about it now. Come in first. Let me explain it to you. The Ministry of Education did send me a letter. But it was just a warning letter. I didn’t do anything illegal, right? I’m not trying to create stories now.
They can’t do anything to me. So, you think you did the right thing? I did borrow his name. It’s just a marketing strategy. It’s just a type of tactic. I didn’t escape with the money. I did teach the students as well. Impersonating other teachers and hold classes by yourself?
You’ve committed two crimes, you know? You still think that it’s just a marketing strategy? You really do amaze me each time I see you. Let’s not do this, okay? Don’t do this. I… I came back right after Chinese New Year because I missed you. But what are you doing right now?
Are you interrogating a criminal? Don’t interrogate me like that, okay? Zhong Yi, I don’t understand it at all. I know you’re talented. I know you’re great as a teacher. Why must you commit such despicable deeds every time? What should I do then? Tell me what I should do.
When I teach outside, they’ll think that it’s because I didn’t do a good job in school. When I scold my students, they said they want to sack me. I’m so young. You want me to spend the rest of my life in that nursery?
You want me to spend the rest of my life in that stupid place? Zhang Xue Er, I always thought that everything is fine as long as you understand me. You did see everything while we were together, am I right? Why can’t you just understand me? You’re saying that I don’t understand you?
You have no right to say that. You were the cause of everything, you know? How is everything my fault? What did I do wrong? I don’t understand at all! Look at all those people outside! They hold so many private classes by themselves! But none of them were reported at all!
What’s wrong with scolding my students? What about those who hit them? Did anything happen to them? Nothing happened to them! What did I do wrong? I’ll tell you what’s wrong! I’m just too unlucky! I’m just too unlucky! What did I do wrong? Come, Chao Chao. Carry your own luggage.
What is this? Something is bulging out. -Where did you get this? -Grandma gave it to me. There’s yours as well. Who is it? What? Did Chao Chao leave something behind? It’s not that, Mum. I just want to tell you that you can call us if you miss Huan Huan and Chao Chao.
Miss them? Why would I miss them? And, when the pandemic is over, you shouldn’t stay home anymore. Come to visit us in Jiangzhou when you’re free. -We won’t ask you to take care of them. -There’s no need for that. I’m wearing it. Mum,
You’ve knitted the same gloves for me when I was young. Do you remember this? One year, you brought me out to take a bus. When I got down the bus, the road was so slippery. You were afraid that I would fall down, that’s why you held me in your arms.
You got injured instead of me. Mum. Mum. Can you give me a hug? Just like the hug you gave me in the past? Just give me a hug. I’m your son. There’s no need to feel awkward. You’re too old for me to hug. I can’t afford to hug you now.
Enough already. You should go now. Go now. Wear your jacket properly. You’ll miss your flight, you know? Be a good boy. Hurry. Just go already. Mum, I know I’m old now. We don’t have much time to spend with each other anymore. We shouldn’t leave any regrets behind. I know that.
Alright now, I’m fine. Hurry up, you’ll miss your flight. -Keep Chao Chao warm. -Alright. Say goodbye to Grandma. Goodbye, Grandma. Come and visit me when you’re free. Alright, Mum. Let’s go. [Huge sale! Tao Yuan’s fruit shop] We’re almost done. Let’s go. We mustn’t sell rotten fruits to our customers.
Our shop has been operating for many years. We’ve never sold any fruits that aren’t fresh. Most of our customers were our neighbours. Yeah, most of them are our regular customers. Many of them are parents of your classmates as well. We’ve always been doing an honest business. Tao’s idea is pretty useful.
Seems like we’ll sell everything soon. Dad, we have six families in Hua Fu Xin Cheng area. We have two families in Lin Shui Garden. We can deliver the fruits to them before we come back for the others. -It’ll be the quickest way. -Alright.
We won’t waste any time if we follow our daughter’s plan. Someone is sending an order again. Mum, more and more people are joining our group. Jot them down before we forget about them. Alright! -This is great. -Yeah. [Sorry. The number you have dialled is unavailable.] [Please call again later.]
[Mr. Zhong, it’s like this.] [They don’t allow us to gather right now. We can’t attend any private classes.] [And I’m sure an online class isn’t as efficient.] [Why don’t we stop the classes for now?] [Yeah, we can talk about it in the future.] [We’ll contact you if we need your help.]
Zhong Yi, you have a parcel. Alright, I understand. You guys should be more careful then. Safety first, okay? -Did they arrive? -Yeah. But they can’t go home first. Someone was diagnosed with COVID-19 at their hometown. Our area committee wants them to be quarantined for 14 days. -They’re this cautious now? -Yeah, no choice.
This is a special situation. Let’s just wait for 14 days. -How do you feel right now? -I feel fine. My fever has subsided. But, speaking of which, I think you should stay here. You can stay here and show them how good you are at cooking. How could I go back?
Who will take care of you and Huan Huan if I go back? -This house can’t function without me. -Yeah. You’re the only person I cannot be apart with. You’re vital to the family. Come on, pick up the pace. Come, my son. -Please enter. -Thank you. Come, take off your clothes by yourself.
Look, it’s Chao Chao. He looks so happy. This year is really something else. They have arrived at Jiangzhou, yet they can’t return home. Chao Chao still needs to stay in the hotel. My goodness. He’s quite pitiful. [Seems great. You two can enjoy your time together.] -Your identification card? -They’ve signed it.
Xia Jun Shan, 388, -he’s here with his son, am I right? -Yes. -Alright, I understand. -Thank you. -Don’t mention it. -Alright. -Okay. -Thank you. I’ve sent some clothes to you guys. I’ve sent some books and toys for Chao Chao as well. By the way, did any of the other passengers have a fever?
They went to a place. They want to… They want to hold a contest. And, they… They took the magnet. -He knows how to fly as well. -[No. Don’t worry.] -Hello? -[Hello? I’m under your window.] [In the north.] Why aren’t you back yet? It’s fine. It’s not that far. Where’s Chao Chao?
Chao Chao, look. Mum is downstairs. -[Mum!] -Chao Chao, I miss you so much. Chao Chao, Mum is over here. [Mum, did you see me?] Chao Chao, I did see you. I’m over here. Did you see me? [Mum, I miss you so much.] I know that. I miss you as well.
Tell me, where did you miss me? [Over here, here, and here…] -[I miss you…] -You miss me? Let me give you a like, okay? Just like what we did at home. Pass the phone to Dad. [I’m listening.] What did you guys have for dinner? We had boxed meal. There were meat and vegetables.
The taste is fine. That’s good to hear. You just recovered from your flu. Why are you on the streets? It’s fine, I’m exercising to boost my immunity. We’re fine. You should return and rest now. I’m not in a hurry. I’m usually awake by this time. I’m sure you guys are exhausted. [I’m fine.]
[Chao Chao is a little bit sleepy.] Alright. Go to sleep now. [You should be careful then.] Alright. You two should take your meals on time, okay? Alright. -Say goodbye to Mum. -Goodbye, Mum. Li Li? You see? I told you she would come. -Li Li. -Dad? Auntie Cai? Why are you guys here?
I came here to see Chao Chao since I miss him. He’s over there, look! -Dad. -[Grandpa, Grandma Cai!] We brought some food for you guys! -It’s… -They can’t hear you. -Everyone is here. -Yan Peng, Zi You. Auntie Cai, they can’t hear you. -Use the phone. -Use the phone.
We brought some food for you guys. But the guard wouldn’t let us in. They wouldn’t let us in. [Thank you, Auntie Cai.] [We’ll be provided with three meals per day.] [Don’t worry about us.] You’re something, huh? Everyone is caring about you right now because of the quarantine. [How could you say that?]
My goodness. I feel relieved now. I feel relieved to see you two safe and sound. Dad, Chao Chao and I didn’t take off our face masks at all. -Don’t worry about us. -We’ll only be at ease when we see you. If anyone doesn’t come back, all of us will be worried about them.
-Let me speak with Chao Chao. -[Alright.] [Grandpa, do you miss me?] Naughty boy! Do you miss Grandpa? [I do. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you.] [I’ll go to your house immediately when I can return home.] Alright! Chao Chao, you’ll be able to return home soon.
You must listen to your father, don’t be a naughty boy, okay? [I’m a good boy.] Good boy. You and your father are playing a game right now. When you guys are out, you’ll be stronger. [I’ll defeat all of the viruses!] -Defeat all of the viruses! -Yeah! -Dad, let me speak with him. -Here.
Don’t say that I’m not good to you. I brought my Nintendo Switch here just for you. I’ve dropped it at the front desk. I’ve downloaded the latest game for you as well. It’s my second wife. You must treat it well, okay? Thank you, brother. [Zi You seems more lively now.]
He’s been playing football for some time. We can’t go out right now. There’s a football field around our house. I bring him there every day. That’s why he looks livelier. That’s great. This is what a child is supposed to look like. -Dad. -Here.
Chao Chao, when you go home, let’s play football together, okay? Okay. Where’s Huan Huan? I didn’t see her. I didn’t bring her here because I thought it would be dangerous. You got a point. You guys. Don’t stay there. Go back now. Alright. We’ll leave immediately. -Go back now. -Dad. Goodbye, Uncle, Chao Chao.
They don’t allow us to gather here because of the pandemic. We need to follow the rules. You two stay safe, okay? -Do you have anything else to say? -No. Goodbye, Uncle, Chao Chao. -[Stay safe.] -Do you have anything else to say? Take care of yourselves, okay?
It’s hard to get a cab here. Let me send you guys back. -My car is over there. -Alright, let’s go. -Let’s go. -Alright. Li Li, you should go as well. It’s late now. We can visit them tomorrow if you miss them. -Let’s go. -Alright. James found the Golden Prince.
He apologized for being petty. He apologized for being arrogant after he won the contest. I forgot the initial goal of the picnic is to gather everyone together. Wait a moment. Baby, you can read it first. I need to answer a call. -Dad. -[Jun Shan,] [I have something to tell you.]
It’s regarding Huan Huan’s incident. Don’t be angry at Li Li. She didn’t mean it. [She was very worried as well.] Dad, I know Li Li didn’t mean to do it. But if she doesn’t stop now, our children will be ruined sooner or later. [You have a point.]
I had a video call with Huan Huan today. She told me that her mother didn’t force her to do questions anymore. [She didn’t force her to memorize words as well.] [That means she’s reflecting on her own actions, right?] You two should talk this out.
Don’t ruin your relationship with her because of your children. Dad, I understand. You don’t need to worry. [You should rest early then.] You should rest early as well. I’ll hang up now. I spoke with him as I was worried about him. Dad, don’t worry. Your daughter and son-in-law have a great relationship.
Xia Jun Shan isn’t a petty person. Besides, Nan Li had a fever because she went to find Huan Huan. If he still wants to blame Nan Li for Huan Huan’s incident, he’s not a man. Nan Li had a fever? It’s not what you think.
She fell sick after she came home from finding Huan Huan. Tian Yu Lan was the one who sent her to the hospital. But she’s fine. It’s just normal flu. -Did Lan Lan feel uncomfortable then? -Yeah. No, Nan Li’s fever has subsided. Auntie Zhao is taking care of her.
In this situation, everything else is fine as long as it isn’t COVID-19. -Yeah. -Don’t worry, she’s doing fine. -Let’s go. -Let’s go. What a rare guest. Hurry and come in. -Are you cold? -I’m fine. Your slippers. Come, wash your hand. -Is plain water okay? -You don’t need to trouble yourself.
It’s fine. Just sit down. How do you feel? I’m fine now. -Here. -Thank you. What is this? This is slime mold. Also known as slime. It’s a single cell organism. Although it doesn’t have any nerves or a brain, it’s very intelligent. It can pass through mazes. It’s that amazing?
Look, I’ll leave it here for a few days. You can take a look after a few days. It will follow the mold and create a beautiful pattern. It’s an amazing artist. It’s magical. Zi You loves them. What’s wrong? Why are you here? I met Xia Jun Shan just now.
Don’t tell me you guys argued again? I know he’s been blaming me. He blamed me for forcing Huan Huan to study. He blamed me for letting Huan Huan leave the house. I can understand that if he has some grudges against you. But everyone knows how Xia Jun Shan is like.
He’ll forget about it after a few days. This is not the first time we argued because of our children’s study. We had a huge argument before he went back to his hometown. Now, our relationship is quite awkward. You see, it isn’t that big of a deal.
But, he’s been angry at me since two years ago. How do I put it? It seems like something is missing. As if there’s a hole. When we want to say something intimate to each other, it sounds weird and unnatural. Whenever there’s a crack in one’s relationship, it might turn into a serious problem.
Someone needs to take the first step eventually. If not, it’ll be terrible when the crack becomes a huge pit. I did take the first step. But I don’t think it’s successful. We’ve been married for over 10 years. We have great chemistry. We know what our partner is thinking about.
But now, I don’t know what’s happening. In my opinion, whoever started the trouble should end it. Your children were the cause of your conflicts with him. Your children needs to solve them. Children are the ties that connect the parents together. I believe in you.
It’ll be fine. Did you forget? You’re very stubborn since young. When you have a will, I’m sure you will find a way. How about this? Let’s decide this with a game. You mean the guessing game? Hold this. Stand up. Close your eyes. Try to toss it in. I’ll close my eyes as well.
If you toss it in, you’ll be able to achieve your wish. How could I do this without looking? How would you know if you don’t try? If you believe it, it’ll succeed. Hurry up. Close your eyes and toss it. Close your eyes, I’ll close mine as well. Wow!
You’ll achieve your wish for sure! So childish. I’m done calculating. That fast? What’s your sum? Am I correct? Mine is the same. Look. Tao, you’re something. You’re faster than my calculator. Is this the money we’ve earned? Yeah. According to this sum, including the rent and utility bills, we’re still at a deficit.
But it’s good enough that we’re not keeping the fruits at home. I’m back. -Mum. -You’re late today. Go and cook dinner. Help your mother out. I’ve sent the fruits to Granny Liang. She finished her medicine. I took a look at her prescriptions. It was all digital. Her son is currently abroad.
That’s why I helped her to buy the medicine. It was hard for me to find them. I’ve visited so many shops. I went to some pharmacies and asked them if they have the medicine available. And, some of them said they couldn’t recognize the prescriptions. But, I’m lucky.
In the end, I managed to buy everything on the list. That’s great to hear. By the way, a young lady added me as a friend on social media today. She said she couldn’t return home as she was abroad. She told me the password to her house.
She wants me to feed her cat whenever I’m free. I’ll feed her cat once every two days. It’s really inconvenient for everyone nowadays. Everyone has their own problems to deal with. I thought of an idea when I was on my way back. I wish to discuss it with you. What idea?
