An Innocent Mistake Episode 9
Daddy,
Why aren't you asleep yet?
Were you fighting with Mama earlier?
Not fighting, we were just discussing things.
Qiu Yu Lin says that her parents fight all the time,
watching TV, eating, always fighting.
But their house rules:
after a fight they must hug and kiss and make up.
It's really funny.
That's very good.
I told her my parents never fight.
She went back and told her mom.
Then her mom actually said couples who don't fight definitely have something wrong.
Daddy, is something wrong with you and mom?
Actually different parents all have their own way of communicating.
No one is right or wrong.
Just different.
Then I have to tell Qiu Yu Lin tomorrow, all parents are different.
No fighting is okay too!
Come, give me a kiss.
Hurry and get to sleep.
Daddy good night. - Good night.
Zheng Da Shan, don't forget.
This is your true responsibility.
Auntie won't... let me lay in her lap and whine.
And won't allow me to be reckless and throw tantrums.
But... but... Auntie is a good aunt.
If it weren't for her planning everything,
I...
I'm probably some puny gangster now.
But...
But I really really wish,
a pair of warm hands
can...
This is the feeling.
Yu En be good.
Mama's here to coddle.
I'm so sorry! Pardon me!
Drink some water.
I think I... should get home.
I'm fine, fine. I'll be fine.
Okay, fine. Fine.
Fall.
And you said you were fine.
What happened?
His alcohol tolerance really is bad.
Put him on the sofa.
Monday, the monkey wears new clothes.(Monkey=day of the week, one=clothes. Play on words)
Tuesday, the monkey is hungry!(Two=hungry.)
Wednesday, the monkey climes the mountain!(Three=mountain.)
Thursday...
... Does Yu En have an exam today?(Four=exam.)
Cheng Yu En!
Cheng. Yu. En!
What time to you have to get to work?
Time for breakfast?
I'm so so so sorry!
Toothbrush and towels are already prepared.
Your clothes are in the bathroom. I've already washed and ironed them for you.
Yu En is awake? - Yup. Awake.
Hey Sis! The porridge is ready. - Don't touch it yet. Let it simmer.
Is there enough dried meat flakes? - Let me see.
Yeah, I think that should be enough.
Quick, help me wash that pot.
This is considered home.
This little town suddenly felt so cute to me.
And feels very good.
The wind is good, the traffic is good too.
Even the red light is good.
And their home is sooo interesting!
And so very warm.
Just like a forever 36deg Celsius.
Even though it's my first time there, and actually am not too familiar with Man Qing's moms.
But it just feels like...
...as though I've known them for such a long time.
This is probably what people refer to as "hometown at first sight."
Right, Dad?
Sometimes human interaction...
really does hold some very queer yet graced meetings.
Every time I feel down, I'll go buy a pack of milk candy.
It's very effective!
Some people, will make us feel strangely very close.
Really!!
Just like that first bite of a popsicle after a 3K run. It's the best feeling.
...will have a strong connection...
... very familiar.
So what Auntie referred to as..."fate"!
Yes, it is fated.
I'm finished talking.
Actually there was nothing big. I just
suddenly wanted to tell dad about this.
I really like to listen.
Oh.
Just now, when I was telling you all this,
that's when I suddenly felt...
that I'm your son again.
Not just an employee.
But the time's up!
I should go back to an employee.
Yu En.
Haven't seen you this happy in so long.
It's really good.
But...
Go about you work.
Yes, president!
How did you say it back then?
Oh right.
You said... be accountable.
You owe Jun Hui.
Actually, I don't buy this shit.
You don't buy what?
In the shrewdness game, men never win over women.
Particularly you, with such low level tactics.
I used to say the same joke, have you forgotten?
"If I liked men,
I probably could be Mrs. Zheng too."
First accompany you for a whole night of alcohol,
then carry you to bed.
What part of that implies you owe her?
Should it... be her that has to be accountable?
She was only fulfilling her personal secretary duties.
She really was very dutiful.
Sought out all your weaknesses.
Why would Jun Hui be so sensitive to that little girl?
People are all the same.
The things we are most worried, most anxious about in others,
always ends up being our own most sensitive spots.
You never liked Jun Hui.
What about you?
Do you like your life right now?
Very structured, very comfortable.
It's hard for me to pick out any faults.
You don't like your 'organized' and 'comfortable'.
You've been interrupted by 'an accident.'
But, as your friend,
I think this accident may actually be a good thing.
At least it confirmed one thing for you,
that these past ten years,
always tried hard to forget who you are.
With the capability to love another,
comes true understanding of yourself.
Who are you?
These past ten years,
always tried hard to forget who you are.
Who exactly am I? (Who are you?)
Who exactly am I? (These past ten years,)
(...tried hard to forget...) ...ability to love...Who (exactly) am I?
I'm fine.
Everything is fine.
Really.
Very Good.
You get to gaze at the sea every day. Must be pleasant, right?
Remember that time when we went to the beach, and you hid a letter in a bottle?
You said you want the currents to carry it to an unknown yet fated individual.
Did you know that that story got made into a movie later?
You're really the queen of ideas.
Curious babe, happy babe.
That old wanderer Mo Fan said
I'm trying hard to forget who I am.
Spoken plainly,
I've shut down my natural instincts.
Am I?
Speak up, you philosopher champion!
To open is an extremely frightening feeling, don't you know?
Because I'm starting to envy Yu En's happiness, yearn for Yu En's happiness.
Jealous of Yu En's happiness.
How can I do that?
How can I still wish to see that little girl in circumstances like these?
That's why, Qin Xiao Fu.
Of course I must turn off all my feelings.
I won this round.
Because you never spoke up.
How is the Designs Department progressing?
2nd design will be out this afternoon, but they're still particular about the outside material.
Have you settled an appointment with Auntie yesterday?
Let's look at the next slide.
The expense...- We're in a meeting right now.
Yeah, this total cost might be a little too high for our customers.
We can reference the next slide--- So is it set or not?!
What kind of suggestion is that? That's basically a rejection!
...always have to criticize a new product. But...
at least they seem to have interest in--Sorry.
I forgot.
The next slide is regarding similar products currently on the market.
What do you mean you forgot?!
YiDe's dominance rate is so high!
YiDe seems to take up 30% of the sales currently, but we should be better regarding the features.
Because there were other guests there yesterday.
Didn't find an opportunity to ask.
That's why I forgot.
You're lying!
I'm sorry, I have to interrupt with an urgent notice. Yu En,
HuaTai called to ask why they haven't received the prototype yet?
Didn't I tell you to send it through express mail yesterday?!
I. For.Got!
How can you forget something like this?! Didn't I tell you this was VERY important?!
Excuse me!
You said it was VERY important, but you didn't say it was VERY urgent!
Besides, by the time the post came by, it was already late anyway!
He said they should receive it this morning!!
What are you listening to?
Shh! I think the cellphone never rang!
Really?
And do you have to be so worried about a cell not ringing?
You idiot!
No cell ringing means Yu En still hasn't called yet!
That's right!!
You're the stupid one! If Yu En doesn't call us, we'll just let Man Qing call him!
Right!
Why didn't you say that earlier?!
Alright. Enough, you two.
It's not like you guys don't know Man Qing's personality.
The more you push her, the more she resists.
Come get some serious work done.
I've been thinking all morning, and only came up with two dishes.
The menu... menu...
Menu...!
Man Qing would know, right?
Honey!!
Together! Forever!
Daughter!! I--
I like...
Ground meat with steam eggs...
Sauteed fish with tofu...
But... I really really like...sesame chicken the best!
Ahh, right! Sesame chicken!
That's right!
We all grew up eating Sis's sesame chicken, that's why our complexion is so good.
Hey, Zhong Chu Hong. So what you're saying is...
I didn't eat Sis's sesame chicken, so my complexion is so not good, is that right?
Your problem is... eating too much.
Does eating too much have to do with that too?
Of course! You always engorge entire bowls--
Eh Eh! Phone Phone!! Hurry!! Phone phone phone!!
Okay okay. Who is this?
Hello?
You got the wrong number.
Wrong number? Yup, got the wrong number.
Oh, right. Wrong number.
What? - Nothing... heh.
You're acting really weird. - How am I weird?
Man Qing ah! - Hmm?
Can you call Yu En for Mommy?
For what?
I just... So... that other day...
Just that thing... that...
I washed his clothes yesterday, - Right!
And then... I think his pant pockets aren't dry yet.
Aiya! - So you should call him to tell him that.- Yeah yeah!
Is that right? - Right?
Hurry hurry, come on.
I don't have his number.
Mommy does!! Heeheehee.
Hurry up!
Even if his pockets weren't dry then, it should be dry now! Please, what time is is now already?
I suppose...
That's right.
Okay, I'm going to study.
My two mommy's, please go out.
Please, let us stay a little longer? I'm begging you.
Let's chat a little more. You know, relax.
I only have 15 days until the day of the exams.
Fine.
Study is most important.
Zhong Chu Hong, what are you doing still laying there? She needs to study.
Fine, got it.
Jia You!
How is it? Is everything okay?
Fine.
Got yelled at.
The manager has always been notorious for being difficult.
You should've told him you're Zheng Da Shan's son!
Then isn't that losing my dad's face along with mine?
You're right.
After you left, Princess Wei Wei wouldn't stop crying. Got called in just now.
You should go find her after you get back.
Do you have any idea how much Yu En has to make up for your carelessness?
Come in.
Working with a non-eager, lackadaisical attitude,
If you really aren't eager to learn, then why don't you just stay at home. Then you won't give me more trouble.
If you mess up anything else, how do you expect me to be accountable to the company and my workers?
How am I not eager, not learning?
He never told me it was urgent in the first place!
You're still making excuses for yourself!
Manager, it really was my fault for not expressing the urgency of the matter to Wei Wei clearly.
Don't speak up for her.
I'm not speaking up for you. Just...
Wei Wei is an intern after all.
So, it's my responsibility to lead her.
So in this matter, I am at fault as well.
However, everything is handled now, so
manager, please don't reprimand Wei Wei anymore.
Look at Yu En.
Always taking responsibilities seriously, and caring of his subordinates.
Seeing as he pleaded for you, I'll give you one more chance.
Thank you, manager!
Alright, it's over now.
Don't be mad anymore.
Then you have to make me smile.
Then you can keep staying angry.
Hey! You're mean!
I tried, but you didn't smile.
Then treat me to a meal.
Hey, I just got yelled at by the customer, had to personally deliver the prototype.
Now I have to treat you?
So what exactly are we having for dinner?
I really can't today.
Everything just got delayed because I had to make that run.
I'll have to work overtime tonight.
So, it's all my fault again?
No, it's not. Some other day.
-It's strange.
Ever since Yu En left our house this morning, all I can think of is Yu En.
I also don't feel like eating stuff, I don't feel like drinking anything.
Got the lovesickness.
You're going crazy.
Do you want to hear Yu En's voice?
Heh. Heheheheh. Hey! We can't!
Didn't Sis tell us not to mess?
Fine fine.
Eh, but (I) can't!
If I don't call Yu En today, I won't be able to sleep tonight!
You can't!
If Man Qing finds out, we'll be in trouble!
Eh, I'm not stepping out of line.
What's wrong with an aunt calling to check in on a nephew?
What could possibly go wrong (happen)? - Yeah - Hehe!
Then, auntie, hurry up and dial!
Oh, come on!
Here. - Oh, hey.
Are you really working overtime tonight?
See you tomorrow.
Then, later, we...
Hello? How do you do, I'm Zheng Yu En.
Hi, auntie!
Hello?
Hello auntie? The signal here isn't good, (let me) change (my) location.
[Bring me dinner later.]
Auntie's hangover soup really works! I don't have a headache at all.
No headaches? Then how about your stomach? Does it feel better?
All good.
Auntie, I'm all good.
There's nothing wrong with me.
Don't worry, okay?
You're living by yourself, you should know better as to how (you should) take care of yourself.
I know. - Mmm.
Ah, what are you eating tonight?
Maybe going to a convenience store (so I can) buy bread to eat.
Eating bread from the convenience store?
Is that nutritional enough?
It's enough, because I need to work overtime tonight as well.
You're working now, and you're working overtime tonight as well?
Oh, our (poor) Yu En, why are you working so hard?
This is a must!
Because I want to be as successful as my father.
You're such a good son.
Not really.
Yu En, auntie's telling you,
Although I'm not your blood-related auntie, and not your blood-related mother as well,
But let me tell you, I really like you from the bottom of my heart.
I watch over you like (you're) half a son (to me).
Thank you, auntie.
But, the meaning of half son is (son) in law.
Half-done son in law.
Ah, right!
Ah, right! Half son does mean son in law!
Ah, that's just right!
I even have a daughter!
Uh, do you guys want to, try dating then?
Alright?
My daughter's very pretty and obedient.
You would be earning it (she's worth the chance)!
That's right.
That way, I can earn (get) three mothers all at once.
Yeah, look, how convenient!
It's just right! You've been working all day and (you're) tired anyway.
Then, Man Qing has been tired (studying) all day.
How about, you guys go for a date? Go watch a movie...
Go drink a cup of coffee. What do you think?
But, auntie, I have to work overtime tonight as well.
Yu En~ Yu En~
Don't be so hard on yourself, alright?
If you're so hard on yourself, auntie will be heartbroken to see it.
Relax, okay?
Okay?
Hello, dad?
Can you talk?
Nothing, I wanted to ask...
Dad, (can you) help me with something?
It's just...Man Qing's mother wants me to ask Man Qing out for a meal.
So, I wanted to ask dad, can you help me take over Xiao Mei's place?
If it's inconvenient, then forget it.
I know it's so sudden, it's probably hard to reserve a spot at Xiao Mei's now.
When I take over, I'll call you.
That's great! Thanks dad!
Don't mention it.
Zheng Da Shan,
Turn it off.
Hello?
Can I pick you up now?
Who are you?
Sorry, I'm Zheng Yu En.
Auntie asked me to take you out for a meal tonight.
Didn't she tell you?
Or, can you come out now?
Actually, I'm already downstairs.
This is my mom's favourite restaurant.
Although it's not big, the food is delicious!
So, I come often.
I had to beg dad to get a spot.
Only, I didn't realise.
If you don't like sitting here, we can go somewhere else.
It's good here.
Really? - Mmm.
Then that's good.
So this is what restaurant kitchens looks like?
Wow!
What would you like to eat?
"So this is what restaurant kitchens looks like?"
In the past, whenever my mom comes, she'd always go into the kitchen to watch the chefs make their dishes.
Said she must learn how to cook her favourite dish.
Guess which dish is it?
Miso Si Shen.
Did your mom manage to learn it in the end?
There's nothing my mom can't learn to do.
She's a very, very interesting woman.
Smart, cute.
When she realises she wants to learn something, she's eager to achieve it.
Auntie really thinks the fate between you two has great prospects.
What would you like to eat? Order anything you like.
Miso Si Shen.
[Xiao Mei Restaurant]
Here, try this--
Thank you.
I-- - You...
You go first.
Actually you don't have to fulfill my moms' weird requests next time.
Oh.
Okay.
What did you want to say?
I... I'll go ask for some pepper.
Excuse me,
can I have some pepper?
[Dad, how do I handle an awkward silence?]
What is it now that it must interrupt your dinner?
It's Yu En.
You say it first...
No, you go first.
Dad, is that bicycle in the garden for us?
What do you want a bike for?
You don't know how to ride anyway.
Exactly, because we don't know how, so we have to learn.
My classmates always go riding their bicycles with the entire family on vacation.
That's right. All my classmates laugh at me for not knowing how.
It's not that mom doesn't allow you to ride,
it's because Taipei traffic is too congested.
Riding among many motor vehicles and motorbikes is very dangerous.
Just thinking about it makes me afraid.
Mrs. Ye referred to me an excellent traditional Chinese art teacher.
I want to let Xiao En and Zi En to learn from him.
I don't want to learn traditional Chinese art.
You don't even know what traditional Chinese art is, how do you know you don't want to learn?
How about this?
Let's compromise.
Learn traditional Chinese art, and you get to learn to ride a bike. How's that?
Yay!
Xiao En didn't get 100% on her math exam this time.
But she insists she didn't calculate wrong.
She said you taught her.
I really didn't calculate wrong!
But the teacher said it was wrong.
It's okay. We'll go to your room after dinner. Let dad go over it.
Hurry and eat.
125 is 25% of some number.
What is that number?
First multiply 125 by denominator 100, then divide by numerator 25, equals 500.
That's right, huh?
But teacher insists that the methodology is wrong,
and says the correct way is numerator/denominator (25/100)
then 125/0.25.
Ooh. Sorry. Dad couldn't let you get 100%.
It's okay. I think teacher shouldn't require this either.
Who said you can only do it his way?
If other people's method gets the same answer, why can't we get credit?
It's so not fair.
What you said makes sense.
There are many ways to calculate.
Just like how there's more than one way to get to a destination.
That's right.
However, the school teaches the universally accepted method.
But dad uses the simplest dumb method.
So the teacher wants you to learn the accepted train of thought.
But I still think dad's 'simple dumb method' makes more sense.
Thank you for your flattery, little rascal.
It's not flattery; I trust dad the most.
Older brother says too that dad's math is the best.
[How do I handle an awkward silence?]
Then this problem,
will be worth credit in yours and daddy's heart, right?
Yay! - Hahahaha!
Okay, then you go take a shower.
Or else your mom will be upset again.
Good night, dad.
I trust dad the most. Older brother says too that dad's math is the best.
