♪There’s no need to wander anymore♪ [Memory of Encaustic Tile] [Adapted from Beifeng Sanbaili’s original novel “Memory of Encaustic Tile”] [Episode 8] [I will Take Care of You] It shouldn’t be a big deal. Never mind, let’s go. Do you think Xue can escape this time? The odds are against her. What’s wrong with you?
Why are you still here? I’m going home. What place did you get? Last place. It’s the last place. Are you happy now? Let’s talk it out nicely. I’ll talk nicely. But will she listen? Your results worsen every time. What are you doing at school every day? Are you even studying?
Who said I didn’t study? You’re always thinking about the twinning program every day. If you get the last place here, would you get better grades overseas? I didn’t think about anything. I go to school every day. Who says I didn’t study? How can you still hang out with them so shamelessly?
Look at Sunian. He never comes second place. Zhang Qi too. Even he’s doing well. Then take a look at yourself. I’ll stop having fun then! Happy now? I’ll get stuck in the house every day until I die! I won’t meet anyone or talk to anyone, okay? You need to talk nicely too.
You’re not happy whatever I answer you. What about me? You’re the reason why I have bad grades. All you talk about is other kids. How good they are and how bad I am. Be their mom then. Don’t be mine. I can’t afford to have a mother like you! Did you hear that?
Go to your room! What did she say just now? She said she couldn’t afford to have me as her mother. I can’t believe it. [Qiming High School] Sunian, what is it? Can you sneak out? I don’t want to go anywhere now. I just want to be alone and be mad at my mom.
You’re only going to be even madder. Come out. I’ll take you to vent it elsewhere. How do I do that? That much anger, huh? I’ve already vented my anger towards my mom. Now, I’m mad at myself. Why? I think I studied pretty hard. Why do I always get bad grades? Look at you
And Zhang Qi. You’re doing so well. I’m the only one who’s stupid. You’re pretty clever. You don’t have to comfort me. I wake up at five every morning to study. I stayed up late to study to make up for the time I spent for fun. I use all my spare time
To memorize words and model essays. I have almost completed all the exercise books from the book shop. But even so, my English is still not as good as yours. You said you’re stupid. What about me then? But Sunian, you work so hard. With you as a comparison, I feel even worse.
Why are you always criticizing yourself? I always say I study hard. But compared to you, I’m not persistent at all. I can’t even suffer one bit. Yet, I enjoyed my life more. Then, do your best for once. Show me how outstanding you are. Mhm. Sunian, I suddenly realized
That I didn’t seem to know you at all. You have a lot of secrets. Then, let me tell you another secret. What is it? When I get up at five o’clock every day to study, I often see Ms. Yu in the yard. My mom? Why does she get up so early?
Make breakfast for me? Everyone has their own secrets. Let me tell you two one more secret. It’s going to rain soon. You should go home now. [Sales Outlet] Take this. Remember to return it. Thank you. What are we going to do with these balloons? Leave it to me. I’ll take care of them.
No way. Sunian paid for these. ♪While the sky♪ ♪Is still blue as the dark clouds form♪ ♪Tell me♪ ♪Where we will travel to♪ ♪While the sunlight♪ ♪Is still laying on the rooftop♪ ♪Take your time to think about it♪ ♪Don’t worry too much♪ ♪Since I left today♪ ♪For you♪
♪Would you like to travel with me to the future?♪ ♪I’ll tell you about it later tomorrow♪ ♪Your words of longing♪ ♪Are like the transparent green♪ ♪That washed over♪ [Corner Sundry Shop] ♪Both of us today♪ Xue, sort out the breakfast yourself. Shao, what’s going on? Read the note on the table. [Xue] (It’s better if there’s no next time.) Who says our daughter is ungrateful? Look at this girl for setting all this up early in the morning. My dear, time to eat. Okay. Xue, the test is already over. Why are you still so hardworking? It’s the weekend. Go shopping with me. I’m not going. I have test papers to complete.
You can do it after shopping. Come on, go with me. I’m not going. Leave me alone, please. Do you like studying that much? How about joining the competition class with me? Shut it. Oh, I forgot. You guys aren’t qualified. I’ll leave then if you’re not going. Okay, bye. I’m leaving, smart kid.
Bye-bye, smug kid. Hello? Zhang Qi. Mom? Ms. Jin and Mr. Zheng can’t be home because of some emergency. Sunian has a fever, and he’s alone at home. Go check on him. Sunian has a fever? Yes. Buy some food for him as well while at it. I have no money. Mom.
What did you say about Sunian just now? He has a fever. That’s probably because he got drenched in the rain. I’ll go and check on him while you buy some tonics. -I have no money. -Where did you spend your money? I bought popsicles with it. Just do as you see fit.
I’m going now. Sunian, are you okay? Sunian, are you okay? It’s hot like you’re being cooked. [Sales Outlet. Fruits. Vegetables] Boss, my friend is ill. What’s good for someone who’s ill? How am I supposed to know? Why don’t you add indigowoad root into his instant noodles? I’m being serious. If you’re serious,
I think the more expensive it is, the better for the body. It’s useless asking you. Give me… [No Credit. Even if you’re good-looking.] Even if you’re good-looking. I bought many things from here. How petty. Please come again. This little signage is pretty handy. I’ll fry the egg first.
Both sides need to be cooked. After that… After that, I’ll make noodles. I must cook them for… Five minutes. After that, I’ll cook these vegetables for another five minutes. Egg, noodles, and vegetables. Five minutes. All right. Let’s begin. What are you doing? Cooking noodles. I’ve been waiting for a long time, but nothing happened. You didn’t turn the stove on. Do you expect the noodles to cook themselves?
I forgot about that. Here, try it. Open your mouth. Sunian, be good and eat something. Hurry. Open your mouth. Sunian, don’t ignore me. Sunian? Okay, I won’t ignore you. Open your mouth. Careful. Another one. ♪Still♪ ♪Still the youngster from the past♪ ♪As pure as before♪ ♪While talking and laughing♪
♪Repay the world with kindness ♪ ♪The time that we lost♪ ♪Slowly emerges from the sea♪ Hey, go home and get some towels. I’ll check if we have any medicine at home. Okay. Xue. ♪It turns out that the person who didn’t go far is at hand♪ If I’m sick like Sunian,
Will you take care of me? That’s hard to say. That depends on the number of meals you buy me at Pizza Hut. Why do you get realistic when it comes to me? I’m only joking. If you’re sick, Sunian and I will take care of you. He’ll change towels for you.
I’ll make noodles for you, happy? Really? Yes, go now. See you later. ♪Today♪ ♪I’m really happy♪ You’re finally awake. Are you feeling better now? I no longer have a fever. By the way, why did you use so many towels on me? It wasn’t me. It was Xue. She came to change towels
For you time after time. She’s very responsible. I talked to her for a while just now. Drink this while it’s still hot. Mom, why did you take these out? To show Xue. Why are you showing her these? Because you looked adorable. Besides, Xue is stressed out about her studies, isn’t it?
I encouraged her by telling her that studying makes people happy. Back then, Sunian wasn’t good at his studies too. At that time, he keeps pulling a long face. He looked so serious. I didn’t know what happened then. After Grade five, his performance improved all of a sudden. From then on,
He always smiles when taking pictures. Mom, stop spreading my dark history. Oh, I forgot to show Xue the pictures of you in girls’ clothing. I’ll show her next time. What’s wrong with wearing girls’ clothing? It’s not like I showed her the pictures of you in split crotch pants. Mom, I’m still sick.
I won’t give it to you even if you’re sick. This is my nice memory [Old days] of being a mother. Time to eat. Can you have a normal memory? Oh, I know. You’re scared Xue will dislike you. Don’t worry. Both families have arranged your marriage since you were young. I already took care
Of this matter a long time ago. Xue can’t escape. But Zhang Qi’s family did the same. Didn’t you have a fight with Zhang Ling over this? She kept saying her son is more compatible with Xue. I said otherwise. They both have different eyes. How is that compatible? That’s why she got upset.
You can’t bring up his flaws. But he did look ugly when he was born. Mr. Zheng, Ms. Jin Ning, you’re back. Zhang Qi, you’re here. Come join us for dinner. Sunian, entertain your friend. I’m going to scoop the rice. Why are you here? What kind of attitude is this? I came to freeload.
Zhang Qi, eat more. Okay, Ms. Jin Ning. Here’s your special bowl. Thank you, Mr. Zheng. Should be enough, right? Zhang Qi, Mr. Zheng’s cooking is very good. Come here for a meal when you’re free. Eat more. You have to pay for food, then. We’re all families here.
There’s no need to pay for food. Am I right? Xue. Sunian, is your fever gone? I was about to see you. Why? To thank you. [Dove] Sunian, tell you what. I moved all my novels and tapes from my room to my mom’s room. I need to get rid of distractions to study well.
If you really want to study well, there’s no need to do that. You have a point. After I moved them all there, I regretted it so much. I want to move them back to my room secretly. Why are you looking at me? Nothing. I just think you usually look quite gentle.
But why did you look so fierce in your pictures? Do I look that fierce in the pictures? A grim face. Like someone that we shouldn’t mess with. That’s true though. By the way, Ms. Jin Ning said your grades suddenly improved since 5th Grade. She said you suffered a blow. What was it?
Tell me. See if it can provoke me. I’d forgotten about it. Boring. Xue, did you buy vinegar? Yes! I have to go now. Thank you for your chocolates. [Grade 5 Math Test Paper] He actually failed? The questions I got are different from yours. That’s embarrassing. I won’t call you Sunian from now on. I’ll call you “Flunked.” I’ll never flunk my math’ test. No! I’m Xue’s elder brother. Only those with good grades can be my elder brother. Flunked. Flunked. Flunked. Flunked. Flunked! The gears are so damaged. Why don’t you get a new one? How can I change it without any reference? Just find one that fits. Won’t that work? Mr. Shao, Mr. Zheng is ignoring me again. Your idea and manners are wrong. He couldn’t answer you even if he wanted to.
Bring me the little brush. We’re doing cultural relics restoration here, not reconstruction work. Every step of the restoration of cultural relics must have references. If everyone thinks like you and changes the damaged parts all the time, it won’t be the emperor’s clock, but yours after you fix it. But I think
We still need to embellish it a little. Just like when women put on makeup. They cover flaws with makeup. Even makeup has to follow the original outline. If your girlfriend’s makeup made her look completely different, would you dare to admit you know her? Mr. Sun, is this okay? Not quite.
It lacks some yellow color. Mr. Sun, look at mine. I’ve been polishing this for four to five months. Am I good at it now? Look at what you did. There are prints all over. What’s so funny? Eat less spicy food in the morning from now on. Your lips are all red.
It’s not from spicy food. It’s lipstick. All the more reason for you to quit using it. It contains chemical substances. You already look so pretty. Why do you still… So pretty. Mr. Sun, we’re out of the yellow color. Borrow some from the Calligraphy Division. Shiyin, we can’t sit together anymore. Xue,
You must study hard, okay? What should I do? Study hard so we can sit together again. Right? Please keep quiet. Let me introduce you to these new students who were recently assigned to our class. Now then, please introduce yourself. Hello, my name is Wu Nana.
I used to be the commissary in charge of literature and art in Class 3 and a member of the school’s choir group. I enjoy talking, laughing and singing. I hope we’ll be friends in the future. Hello, everyone. My name is Yu Huai. My zodiac sign is Cancer.
I hope we can get along well. Hello… Hello, everyone. I’m Tang Ya. I was from Class 10. Louder! I can’t hear you. She said her name was Tang Ya. All right. Get back to your seat. You’ll be in the same class from now on. You must help each other out.
Hello, everyone. My name is Zhang Qi. I was in your class. Why are you back here instead of joining the competition class? I’m leaving soon. I need to say goodbye to my friends. All right. Go ahead. From today on, I’ll be joining the competition class. We won’t be able
To see each other again. Don’t miss me. Go back to your class now. No one will miss you. In any case, you can’t control me anymore. Hi, I’m Shao Xue. I’m Tang Ya. Hello. Have a candy. The competition class is too far. [Competition Class] Hello, everyone. I’m Zhang Qi. I’m new here.
Close the door. [Keep Silent] I’m new here. Where do I sit? Please go to your seat now. Don’t disturb others. When you’re home, ponder the meaning [“How the Steel Was Tempered”] of this paragraph. Okay, class dismissed. Where are you going? The radio station. Shao Xue, come here. Yes, Mr. Liu.
You looked scared. It’s good news. You know that our school is linked with higher learning institutions overseas. Several representatives from these higher learning institutions will visit the school this time. So we need a student interpreter to showcase the life of students in our school. The teachers have discussed this
And decided to give you this chance. Really? Yes. First, the English teacher recommended you. Second, photo and video taking are required during the visitation. You are more photogenic. I think so too. Do your best, okay? This can give you extra points. Okay. I won’t let you down. I look forward to it.
Go back to your seat. Xue, what was that about? The foreign school’s representatives are visiting us. He recommended me to be the interpreter. Not bad. That’s impressive. I can only boast about my English. My English is very poor. I can’t seem to improve it. If you have any problems, you can ask me.
I’ll teach you. Really? Thank you so much. You’re welcome. Why is it “The Little Li Flying Dagger” again? Have you noticed it too? [Chinese Language] This song plays once a week. Do many people like this song? It was requested by the same person. But it’s dedicated to different people, that’s all. Dedicate to different people? ♪Even though I was armed with good talents♪
Wang Haoran is the president of the Drama Club. Is he good-looking? ♪I can’t pass through the ordeal of love♪ I didn’t know you were into gossip. ♪Can’t pass through♪ I never had any friends. I thought others might ask me to join the conversation if I knew some gossip. In the end, it’s useless.
♪The water is surging non-stop♪ It’s okay. I’ll be your friend in the future. If you have any problems, you can ask me. Just ignore all those random stuff. ♪The knot of love can’t be untied♪ With Shao Hua later. I’m here to deliver this pickled radish. I’m addicted to it now. I can’t enjoy my meal without this now. Is Mr. Shao buying you a present from the department store? Him? Not at all. He ran out of clam oil. He insisted that I go with him.
I’ll get going now. Wait. You have to watch out. Watch what? Your image. Sit down. Let me fix your hair. What’s wrong with my hair? It’s everywhere and messy. Nobody’s looking anyway. Mr. Shao will be looking. Him? It’s been so many years. He’s already tired of it. That’s why
You need to style it differently. Secret weapon. No, I’m not putting that on. Don’t run. Sit down. Listen to me. You’ll look pretty after putting this on. This color flatters the skin complexion. Rub your lips together. I remember I wore it once on my wedding day. It’s been more than twenty years. It’s
A little sticky. See? You look 20 years younger after wearing it. Really? It looks okay? Every time I wore it, Zheng Jin would try to please me. Cut it out. Even if you don’t wear it, he still treats you well. He treats me even better if I wear it. Go
And stun the Watchmaker Division. Okay. You look pretty. Zheng, help me take a look at this. What’s wrong? It’s moving together. Did you close up the gear? I’ve already checked it. Shao Hua, let’s go. Okay, soon. Hey, what happened to your lips? Nothing. Wait. Come and let me see it.
Fine, look all you want! What’s there to look at? Hurry up. I’ll wait for you at the entrance. What’s going on? What’s with that temper? She probably had too much heaty food. I’ll be there right away. How did you know? Didn’t you see how red her lips are? You see,
Jin Ning’s lip will turn red when she has internal heat. I’d stew some pears for her. We had chicken with Sichuan chili peppers yesterday. She must have suffered from the spiciness. The spiciness goes to the lips. I’ll buy her a couple of pears after getting off work. I’ll get going now.
We’ll continue this afternoon. Hop on the bicycle. Is your internal heat increasing because of Xue? Who’s got internal heat? Don’t worry. Xue is working hard for the twinning program. Relax for a bit, okay? I’m precisely worried about her working hard on this. She can still cause a lot of trouble
Even when she’s studying here. If she really goes overseas, can I still sleep at ease? I’d be worried sick all day. I’ve already decided. I need to talk to her about furthering her studies locally and stop thinking about other options. That will be hard. You see,
Xue liked looking at the map since she was young. She always said she wanted to see the world since young. Isn’t there a saying that the further up you hold your chopsticks, the further you will go? You already saw how high up she hold her chopsticks. Even if you suppress her thoughts now,
She’ll suffer mentally. So are we going to let her do what she wants? Can you be at ease to see your daughter travel so far? We can’t force it anyway. We’ll try to talk her out of it without going straight to the point. Kids nowadays become even more rebellious if they’re forced.
You spoiled her. Are you still going? -I’ll go home if you’re not. -Yes, we’re going. Get on. Let’s go. Go on. Zhang Qi, tell you what. I was the only one chosen among all the students at school. You have to be careful then. I’m warning you. Your face will look huge on the screen. Just go home! Sunian, how can I make myself sound like a native speaker? Watch foreign films and read novels.
The lines are more conversational. Ms. Jin Ning did give several foreign novels to me. The generational gap is too big. It’s better to watch “Harry Potter.” You have a point. Xue. Ms. Liu. I heard you’re showing foreigners around the school. Even the TV station is shooting it. That’s impressive. Not really.
When you’ve become successful, don’t forget me, okay? I won’t forget you. Enjoy yourselves. See you, Ms. Liu. How did Ms. Liu know about this? Xue. Mr. Zhang. All of you are here. Xue, I heard a foreign TV station is going to interview you. That’s impressive. How did Mr. Zhang find out? Xue! Ms. Li. I heard you’re representing Beijing for an interview. [Qiming High School] That’s awesome. Keep a low profile.
Come on, it’s a good thing. I will help you publicize it. Ling! -What is it? -Listen, Xue is going to give a speech -at the embassy. -Really? Yes! I think you’ll be meeting the foreign head of state later. Get lost. I’m afraid the foreign head of state will have to receive her.
Enough already. Let’s just go back. Let’s go. You’re home. I’ve heard Xue is going to give a speech at the embassy. No, she’s going to take office at the embassy. Don’t listen to Ms. Li. Then, what is it about? A foreign institution is visiting the school.
So they asked Xue to be the interpreter. Does it involve the twinning program? I don’t think so. The teachers want to let our kid show her skills. It’s a good thing. That’s great. What is she doing? Working hard. Working hard? I couldn’t remember the new password to get inside. Keep your voice down.
-Are you reading novels again? -Never… I’m practicing my speaking skills. That’s right. I’m the witness. Her pronunciation is native-like. It’s a British accent. How do you know if it’s native-like? Besides, you’re up to something. Why are you practicing speaking skills? This won’t be tested in the National College Entrance Exam. Mom,
I’ll be interpreting for the foreign teachers. If I don’t speak well, won’t they laugh at me? That’s right. After they laugh at me, they’ll laugh at our school. You’re right. After laughing at our school, they’ll laugh at Beijing and say, “is this the English level of the youngsters in Beijing?” Do you understand?
Fine. You always said I nag too much. Compared to you, you’re worse than me. Enough. Don’t disturb her. Keep practicing. What are you doing? Drink this. You made this pear soup? What are you up to? Why did you make this? Didn’t you suffer from internal heat? Who says so? Look at the color
Of your lips. I had free time. [*Same pronunciation as salty food] All the more reason for you to drink this. Too much salt is bad for the heart. Jin Ning? Shao Hua. Dongge, look at this. This dress has a huge hole from being ripped at the corner of the table.
Do you think you can fix this? What a huge hole. Ms. Jin Ning, you’re here. You are becoming more and more beautiful. What a sweet talker. I put on some makeup today. Jin Ning went to receive some foreign guests today. That’s impressive. Not as impressive as you. Sunian told me that Xue
Is promising. By the way, do you have any proper clothing? Why don’t you pick a couple from my wardrobe? Let’s go. It’s okay. She can just wear her school uniform. You’re right about that. Ms. Jin Ning, do we need to pay attention to clothing too? After all, you’re meeting foreigners.
You should take note of your appearance and apparel. But the school uniform is pretty good. Then do you think I need makeup? Why are you getting carried away? Why do you want to wear makeup when you’re only a student? Carry on with your studies. Go ahead. Dongge,
It’s normal for a child Xue’s age to want to look pretty. Moreover, she’s doing it for an official matter. I think she should focus on being a student now. When she enters university, no one will control her anymore. She can pay more attention to her appearance then. That’s right. Jin Ning, come.
Try the peach soup I made. I just had this at home. Did you have internal heat too? No. He made pear soup because of Zheng. Trying to please. Come, sit down. Try it out. Of course, you need to wear makeup. Foreign girls usually wear makeup. You’re the only one who wears makeup around me. Tang Ya, do you usually wear makeup? I… It’s against the school regulations. You’re receiving foreign guests. Wearing makeup is a form of etiquette. Then, I should wear some makeup
