You have to let the kid have the chance to practice,
or else, when she goes to university next year,
riding on the big bus,
can you live through that time?
Nonetheless, now is not the time.
You let her ride a bike to school,
then what do I do?
Stay at home every day,
drown in worries?
These eggs,
you bought so many at once.
You should only buy enough for a short time so they stay fresh.
How did you shoelaces get loose again?
Keep sweeping on the ground.
Tie them.
Make a bow first,
then make another knot.
Alright, I tied them.
I can tie them.
These fuzzy clothes of yours,
and your stretched socks.
I forgot to bring them.
Buy some when you get there.
Pay attention to your Deputy Director's image.
I'm worried about how
on self-study nights,
all the other kids can cycle home,
but our daughter has to walk.
Stop talking, I can pick her up.
That way.
You have to listen to your mom.
She takes care of you all by herself, it's not easy.
She has to go to work and care for you.
Alright?
Didn't she bring this upon herself?
At school, I don't need her to look after me.
How annoying. | Fine, fine, rest assured.
With only me at home,
I don't dare to be tough with her.
Let's go.
Stop being so attached.
I'm not home, the water and electricity,
you have to be careful.
I know.
And also, remember four words,
Money in your hand.
ID card, phone, key, wallet.
And also,
take a pair of my shoes,
put at the front door.
What for?
To avoid suspicion.
It's true.
When a thief sees
that there is a man in the house,
he won't dare to come again, you see?
Then which pair should I take?
Of course the ragged one.
Laughing like an idiot.
Come here, hug me.
Alright, alright.
Take care of yourself. | Let's go.
Hurry up. | Okay, okay.
Let's go.
Live together peacefully.
A family must get along.
I know, I know.
The family's stability is the top priority.
Bye-bye. | Let me see you off.
You will see me off? | See him off.
Alright. | Go.
Go, I will watch the house.
I will look for shoes.
Lin Miāo Miāo, Miāo Miāo come here.
Come here, Lin Miāo Miāo
Slow down.
Miāo Miāo.
This kid.
Lin Miāo Miāo and Lin Miào Miào
Are you two sisters?
Miāo Miāo, we don't care about him.
Don't listen to him.
This person is not right in the head.
I'm free today.
We don't have to go to supplementary classes.
Listen to me, | She doesn't even pay attention to me.
my dad is away for work,
from now I can't
go out and feed you regularly anymore.
I have to stay at home
and keep my head down, become a person.
My mom is scary.
Good morning.
I cleaned my room.
Alright.
Have a dumpling.
The house is quiet without your dad.
That's half the talking gone.
That's also half less of what I need to listen to.
Before,
you both lectured me.
A combination of male and female.
Two voices swirled into one.
Now there's only you.
One voice.
Mother dearest,
I'm off to school.
Have a good day.
Move faster.
Pay attention to your arms when you play tennis.
Come on, serve, serve.
Thank you.
Mother dearest, I'm home.
I almost finish the ribs.
Do your homework first.
Yes, mom.
Do your best.
Where's the router?
I stored it away.
Why?
It affects your study.
No, why does it affect me?
I just stored the router away,
you noticed right when you got home,
isn't the problem clear?
Alright.
Everything
can affect my study anyway.
The school affects it.
Riding a bike affects it.
Web surfing
also affects it.
Tell me,
how does it affect me?
Look at you,
you just lost your internet,
and your moods get so unstable.
Isn't that the effect?
Alright, you just hope I'll
get better at literature.
Without the internet,
if something big happened outside,
I wouldn't know.
Aren't there a lot of rural kids
that don't have internet,
but they still got in Qing Hua, Bei Da?
Then you can just
send me to the rural area.
And also,
you can throw away this computer.
Leaving it here,
it's just like a piece of wood.
Useless.
You right now looks like
an internet-addicted girl.
That's why I have to help you.
You can't quit it by yourself.
What rights do you have to make me quit?
I'm an adult.
They don't...
So what?
An adult can do anything they want?
Lin Miào Miào.
I'm a baked brick,
fully shaped.
You are different.
You can easily adapt,
Stop. | you need to be sculpted.
You used up your capacity for today.
If you speak anymore you'll have to pay.
Fine.
The meal is cold.
I don't want to eat.
Come eat.
Eating affects my study.
Come on.
Hook into that strap.
That's right.
Alright.
Got it.
Oh my god.
Look, my blanket.
Wait a minute.
Just hook this one up.
Alright.
Hook it.
Good, good.
Don't fall again.
Don't fall.
Yes.
Thank you.
It's no problem.
Mom.
Mother dearest,
I'm home.
Mom.
Are you tired?
You say that every day.
Then let me give you a massage.
What's wrong?
Don't pull tricks.
Just say what you want.
My politics teacher
praised me for my neat work again today.
That's good.
My math exercises,
I only answered wrongly once.
Keep it up.
Right, let me help you.
No need, don't touch it.
Then can you
take out the router
so I can use the internet for a bit?
You finally get to the point.
Just for a bit.
A bit today.
A bit tomorrow.
You will be a grade 12 student next year.
You won't have so much "a bit."
I'm telling you,
wait until you get into university,
the ugly duck transforms into a beautiful swan,
then you can play to your heart's content.
The ugly duck transforms into a beautiful swan,
not because of its efforts,
but because
it's always been a swan.
Their parents are swans.
Are you?
No.
You two
are two big ducks.
And I'm
your little egg.
How can you force me to become a swan?
Such a quick 180-degree turn.
So you're a duck egg,
then at least next year
you must be able to transform.
Look at Jiang Tian Hao.
Does he have swan genes?
His parents
used to sell stew dishes.
His parents sold stew dishes,
got millions a year.
What about my parents?
Oh, right, there's Deng Xiao Qi.
Her mother is a beauty.
Qian San Yi's mom
is a singer.
But my mom.
You keep comparing me
with others' kids.
If I compared you
with others' parents,
can you compare to them?
Shut the door and do your homework.
I'm so angry.
Director Lin is here, good morning.
Hello Director Lin.
Hello.
Good morning.
Hello.
Be assured,
my place is great.
Today, the boss assigned me
a personal driver.
It's impossible, even if you don't want to.
The high-class apartment the company provided,
it has everything.
There's even a part-time house helper.
Especially my laundry.
Even bed sheets and underwears are given,
but how can I iron them?
They got wrinkles right when I put them on.
It seems that Deputy Director Lin
is living better than at home.
It's fine.
Just, without your orders,
it feels strange.
Wait until Miao Miao takes the exam next year, then we will talk.
What are you saying?
To let you have complete freedom.
Why did you say that?
I'm just telling you about
my work situation.
Your work is doing nothing
and still get paid.
The capitalists are fostering lazy people?
It's busy.
Busy.
Your Happy City,
you advertised so well,
something about renting after buying,
promise to buy it back.
You even promised us
Each year there will be 8%
to 13% profit.
Increase through the years.
That's right.
After 5 years, you don't want to anymore.
You developers
agreed to pay 120%
to buy them back.
Now,
it's been 2 years,
there's no Happy City.
What about the promised profit?
Today we want you developers
to us investors
explain everything.
Right, explain.
Calm down.
I'm the CFO,
so I don't know anything about consumption.
I don't know.
Aren't you the Deputy Director?
That's right, who else can we ask?
That's right.
Do I care what you're in charge of?
I'll file a complaint.
You have to take all the responsibilities with us.
Take responsibilities.
The construction site is currently not in
good conditions to start building.
We're forced to follow
these people's moods.
Do your part of explaining and encouraging well.
I only have one requirement,
do not let them withdraw their money.
When this is settled,
the board
will consider your place as a stockholder.
Da Wei,
the explaining,
I'm counting on you.
This underground project
is not as simple
as you think.
There is this proverb,
"One floor on the ground need ten pillars underground."
The geology here
is complicated.
Don't worry.
The company has paid a great amount of money
to invite a foreign professional team
to survey.
Then what about our money?
Our investment,
not only we receive no profit,
but also it's dwindling every day.
That's right. | True.
How can it be?
The city is fixing the metro system.
All our projects
are near train stations.
So our company's project
will develop alongside the city's metro system.
How can we lose?
It'll definitely double in the future.
Even if that's logical,
but about investing in you,
we
have given up hope.
We don't need the houses anymore,
we need our money.
Can you return it to us?
We don't need profit,
can you return our funds?
That's right, return it.
Rushing won't help you achieve anything.
Be assured, be assured.
The company has decided.
We'll begin soon.
Begin? Begin what?
What can you use to begin?
Everyone. | That's right.
Fraud. | What can you use to begin?
This company is a fraud.
They don't want to return our money.
Don't don't don;t. | Pay back. | Pay back.
Come back here, do not run.
The fish in my company's fish tank
are an odd number.
To bring in talents.
There is also the artificial cave glittering purple at the front door,
also has that meaning.
Even the plants in the office,
where to put them,
we have to invite a feng sui master
from Hongkong.
Very careful.
My boss
is getting near to examine the eyes of money.
Business people.
Everyone wants to get rich.
Dad.
Then next time you ask that master
what we should put in the house
that is best for university.
This you can just ask your mom.
Don't have any stupid books,
that's the best for university.
Your mom is right.
That book,
I borrowed from the school's library,
it's on the must-read shelf.
Your mind is not calm,
then a must-read book will become a read-for-fun.
You cut the internet,
how can my mind not be calm?
The internet
is a two-edged sword.
If you know how to use it.
Lin Da Wei, you just came home,
don't start making trouble.
You're not home,
our life is very orderly.
Where is the TV remote?
I stored it away.
Then how can we turn on the TV?
In a family with a child preparing for the university entrance exam,
the TV is only decoration.
Fine.
I will clean it up when we finish. | I will go read some books.
Do that later.
I will read with you.
When you're away,
at home,
shocking changes have happened.
Look at me,
I was controlled by Wang Sheng Nan,
I can't do anything aside from study.
My brain melt.
My pupils won't move anymore.
Alright, my poor daughter.
Bear it a little more.
After the exam, everything will be alright.
Your acting skills are getting better.
It's not acting, I'm being honest.
Then when
are you buying me a bike?
Soon, soon.
What soon?
When our "Happy City" project
get started,
then the company
will give me shares to motivate me.
I'm going to be a stockholder.
Soon, soon.
Then hurry up.
Okay.
What was that?
We can't watch TV,
so we play games.
Pei Yin.
Is that you?
Long time no see.
Did you move?
Why didn't you tell me?
Hello.
Pei Yin.
Do you know about Mr. Qian?
You must not know yet.
Your Mr. Qian is the worst.
He bought that woman
a house,
right opposite us.
I know.
You know?
Why are you so generous?
I'm telling you,
that 200m2 house,
fully furnished,
is shared property
between you and your husband.
Pei Yin.
You have to consider carefully
for your son.
Mr. Qian must want to transfer the property.
On the papers,
he must have written
that woman's name.
Now these two
live together there
just like a family,
legal husband and wife,
so affectionate.
But it shared property
of you two,
you can't just not care.
This is our family's business,
please don't stick your nose in it.
Pei Yin.
What do you mean?
Did you fight again?
No.
It's like this.
When I was cutting vegetable,
I cut my hand,
but the door is locked,
no one is in the hallway.
I want to borrow a phone.
Just come inside first.
Press on it.
Sit down first.
You don't have to.
Let me clean your wound.
Thank you.
Can I borrow your phone?
Here.
Thank you.
It needs a password.
Four times 2, four times 2.
Oh God.
It's not deep,
but it's hot, don't let it get infected.
Thank you.
Hello, Yi Yi.
Thank God you picked up.
It's me, I'm worried out of my mind.
I locked the door,
but I don't have the key.
Can you
bring me the key really quick?
No, no, right now.
The stove is still on,
what if something burned?
Hurry up.
Ask your teacher to come home.
Okay, hurry up.
Okay, okay.
Put this on.
Sorry.
I dirtied
your phone.
It's fine.
What were you cutting
that you cut your hand?
Potatoes.
Alright, wait a minute.
Someone is knocking.
Pei Yin, it's me, open the door.
Open the door.
Why are you outside?
It's easy, it's not very high.
You.
I climbed from my kitchen
to yours.
I turned off the stove.
Then I opened the door from inside.
I saw your window
is still opened.
That's dangerous.
If there's a fire in your house,
then mine will be in danger.
Thank you so much.
I like
75% chocolate.
What is this?
It's my moisturizing masks.
I think it's effective.
You should try it.
I rarely use masks.
Thank you.
You're too polite.
I should thank you.
How can you be so skillful?
Those potato slices can be punctured by a needle.
Oh my.
What do you usually feed your Scholar?
What kind of dishes?
I'm not very good at cooking.
So it's usually quite simple.
Milk, soya bean,
Bread and eggs for breakfast,
I just bought a blender.
It can make egg-milk,
grind soya bean,
even make sweet soup.
In the morning,
you can vary the dishes for him.
It's convenient.
That would be nice.
What brand is it?
Jiu Yang, let me show you.
What is this?
Why are you changing now?
So I changed just because I put on a mask?
Why did you suddenly use a mask?
Qian San Yi's mother gave it to me.
Aren't you two enemies?
Why did she give you a mask?
I gave her stew pork.
Did you use stew pork to get close to her?
She gave me chocolate too.
You seem to be close.
Better a neighbor near than a brother far off.
You're so fake.
You're a flatterer and a realist.
When dad's home,
you bullied Qian San Yi's mom.
When he's away,
you started getting close to her.
You're shaking your legs.
Talking to me must be fun.
I'm don't have that much free time.
I must study hard,
to surpass myself.
Surpass your dream and go beyond.
East and West combined.
If you like,
then you can eat like this from now on.
Mom, did you make this?
The person below one floor gave it to me.
Lin Miao Miao's mom?
I can learn from her.
Mom, didn't you say
you don't like her mom?
You can't judge a book by its cover.
She is actually quite enthusiastic.
Didn't you realize?
Come on, eat.
Eat a lot.
How is it?
It's good.
A mom like her
is much better than me.
Mom,
you are okay.
I still have room for improvement.
I'm home.
Dad.
Now mom
Qian San Yi's mom
are getting along.
Really?
Don't believe me, see for yourself.
She is using the mask she gave her.
Shouldn't you fulfill your promise soon?
What promise?
If it hadn't been for me
making her happy,
would she have got along with our neighbor
like now?
You must have a peaceful home before you go to war.
Mom's current state
is all thanks to me.
You have to buy me a bike.
Alright.
I haven't even got a glass of water.
Go pour me a cup of tea.
You promise first, then I'll go get you one.
Where do all those conditions come from?
Is this truly to enhance your beauty or destroy it?
Those two hated each other that much.
Make me green tea, okay?
Miao Miao.
Come see
what I bought for you.
Dad.
Why does it look like a grandma's bike?
I like a mountain bike.
It's fine, try it.
It's light, easy to ride.
You can't ride a mountain bike anyway.
This fits you much better, right?
Fine, fine.
Careful, slowly, slowly.
Be careful.
A girl just like the wind.
They say
Husband and wife must be unanimous, be clear with the property.
I don't hope that you can be clear about money matter,
but I just hope,
in educating our child,
don't compete with me.
It's hard.
I just made her a bit more docile,
you came home
and turned her back to the beginning.
I just bought her a bike,
do you need to be like that?
Fine.
It's not about the bike,
but you're challenging my power.
How can I teach her in the future anymore?
I will be like the air.
Be careful.
Look, look.
Then think about me too.
I already promised.
If I don't do it,
I'll be a liar.
Who allowed you to promise?
I'm her father,
don't I have any right?
Fine, you can buy it for her,
and I can forbid her from using it.
What do you base on to forbid me?
Base on my words.
I forbid you from riding a bike to school.
Leave it at home if you already bought it.
Consider it decoration.
What are you doing?
Fine, then I'll leave it here.
Leave it here.
Do you really need to do that?
I'm telling you, don't come back anymore.
You mess up everything every time you come back.
If it's not for Miao Miao,
I can't stand a day living with you.
Are you kicking me out?
Yes, I'm kicking you out.
I actually admire you.
Lin Da Wei.
If I've had somewhere to hide,
I would've done it a long time ago.
I'm telling you,
wait until her entrance exam next year,
we'll divorce.
This again.
Come on.
What do we disagree with each other
that we need to divorce?
Do you have someone else?
So there must be an external force
to cause a divorce?
Our personalities clash
at almost every problem.
Our solutions are different.
That's right, our solutions
are different.
Because of our daughter,
so this terrible trait of yours
I've endured it, I'm used to it.
You can stand me,
but I can't stand you.
You can't stand me?
Has there been anything in this house
that isn't your decision,
under your management?
Has there been any time that I don't back down?
You've never had to endure me.
Can I even control this house?
I don't allow her to ride a bike,
you bought her a bike.
You even brought it into the house.
Alright, alright.
Aside from willing speech but unwilling heart there are many small things.
Using the toilet,
you've never put the seat up.
When you rarely remember to,
you forgot to put it back down.
Make me accidentally sit in the toilet many times.
You always squeeze the toothpaste tube in the middle.
Socks, underwears,
you wear them for days.
After using the towel,
you never squeeze out the water.
It keeps dripping, making the whole bathroom floor wet.
You don't fold the blanket.
You chew open-mouthed.
Even like to fart in the blanket.
Make the room stink.
It's not that.
I was just teasing you.
I don't like it.
I've told you many times.
Have you changed any of them?
So many unhappy things in one day
surround me,
like sands
getting in your shoes.
Can't wipe them off.
Wiping until your feet bleed.
All those things you said, can any
be used as a legitimate reason?
Even if we filed a divorce,
what would you tell them?
It's because I fart in the blanket?
It's because I can't say it,
that I bear it until now.
But I don't want to do that anymore.
It's true, I have many bad habits.
But are you perfect,
not having any flaw?
Why can't I see it?
I like seriousness.
That's my criteria.
You don't just like seriousness,
but also fallacy.
You're almost 50.
All these things
are set deep in your bones.
Can't dug them out.
I really can't stand
your double standard.
It's my bad habits,
but your characteristics.
I'm being conservative,
but you're sticking to your rules.
Is that right?
We should have a peaceful divorce,
so in the latter half of our lives,
we can be free, alright?
Come on. Wang Sheng Nan.
I really don't know
what kind of man
that can serve you.
Lin Da Wei me
is not the kind to dawdle.
If you have come to this point,
then I cannot
disagree, can I?
Is it so nice? Everyday...
Mom.
It's the weekend.
Is dad coming home?
He isn't.
Then don't you care about him?
You aren't getting divorced, right?
We aren't.
Then why isn't he coming home?
Maybe at the new division
he is too busy.
Even if he is,
he should call us.
It's been days,
don't you worry about him?
What do I have to worry about?
Money or appearance,
your father would just disappoint the thief.
What if he got sick?
Lying alone at the office,
no answer from the heaven,
no answer from the earth.
There's no one by his side.
He can't call anyone.
He wouldn't be kidnapped, right?
With his personality,
to protect us,
he would never tell
our phone number.
It's possible that
he is killed now.
If only you can use your imagination
in your study.
Your call has been forwarded
to the voicemail box.
Choose 1 to leave a message.
Leave a message...
Call him again.
Your call has been forwarded
to the voicemail box.
Choose 1 to...
Call him again.
Lin Da Wei.
Why aren't you picking up?
I'm Director Lin's secretary.
Who are you?
I'm his wife.
You're Mrs. Lin?
I'm sorry.
Director Lin is in an important meeting,
cannot come to the phone.
Hung up.
He's in a meeting.
I told you he's fine.
I haven't even finished before she hung up.
He even got a secretary?
As long as she is not a "Xiao Mi" (Xiao Mi: A secretary having a shady relationship with a married boss)
The National People's Congress is having a new term meeting...
but they can't not have breaks.
Moreover, there is no way
they meet every night.
Your father's new company,
what is the name?
What are you doing?
Miao,
do you have your father's new business card?
Give it to me,
I need to see it.
Sleep some more.
Hello.
I'm looking for Lin Da Wei.
Director Lin is in an important meeting,
cannot come to the phone.
Miao. Miao.
Listen to me.
Order something for lunch.
I'm going to Fu Zhou to visit your father.
I won't be back till night.
Who are you looking for?
I'm looking for Lin Da Wei.
Director Lin is in a meeting.
Call Lin Da Wei out to meet me.
Who are you?
I'm his wife.
He is my child's father.
I'm his secretary.
We talked on the phone.
Director Lin...
was taken by the police a few days ago.
About the business,
I don't know much.
I'm mostly in charge of finance.
Then call the one in charge here.
The number that you have called
is not available at the moment.
Hello, Xiao Wang.
Is Director Li there?
He hasn't come in for 2 days?
What about Director Liu?
He is trying to stall.
They didn't pick up.
Sit down.
Your "Happy City" project
was sold without
permission to be sold with deposit.
"Happy City"...
I am Lin Miao Miao
A student aiming for university.
Face with the university entrance exam,
I think you all are like me,
half anticipating, half anxious, right?
Today,
I want to tell you about
the importance of your university goals.
The goals I'm talking about
are not just which school you want to get in,
which major,
but in the final sprinting stage of taking the entrance exam,
we know
where to make effort,
that's how to be efficient.
Because teachers' plans
are for the whole class,
it's hard to pay attention to every single student.
So in the last moment,
we need to
base on our own situation,
make a revision plan
best suited to ourselves.
and set clear university goals
that belong to ourselves.
To sum up, we need clear goals.
Combine the two aspects,
and we can
achieve the best efficiency.
If just because of difficulties,
you carelessly lower your aim,
then you will just get worse.
If you can finish
what you can't,
you will be more confident.
Fighting!
