The Happiness of a Mother (Hạnh Phúc Của Mẹ)

Hey, aunt Tue is coming.

Yeah, aunt Tue! Aunt Tue! Please take us home.

It's a bit full. Mind your seat.

OK.

-Let's go, aunt Tue! -Let's go.

OK.

Welcome to the Magical Dance show,

the most popular talent show in Vietnam.

Please give a round of applause for our judges, John Huy Tran,

actress Van Trang, and poet Phong Viet.

Why did you choose to join this show?

My son really loves it.

I believe he can do it.

He needs to practice more.

It's not that simple.

Tim, repeat after me: blue.

Blue.

Tue.

What are you saying, Tim?

Don't laugh at him. He can say it.

One more time, sweetheart: blue.

Blue.

Tue.

Red!

Red!

Tue.

Blue!

Blue!

Tue.

Red!

Red!

Tue.

Faster, aunt Tue! Faster!

Alright, we're here.

Thank you, aunt Tue!

Thanks, aunt Tue!

Good kids.

Hey Tim,

are you going to the market with us?

You go first. Tim will stay here to help me.

OK. Thank you, aunt Tue!

Good boy!

Wait for Mommy here.

I'll be right back after delivering those boxes, okay?

Tue!

Excellent!

Just a minute.

Welcome to the Magical Dance show.

As long as you have passion,

we will help you to shine.

Delivery, guys. Fresh morning glory.

You will...

Tim!

Tim!

Tim!

Is Tim here, Tam?

I have no idea.

Where did he go?

My gosh!

Let me know if he comes here.

Sure!

Tim!

Your favorite show is back, Chin!

Ladies and gentlemen,

the performance received two votes

from two judges, Van Trang and John Huy Tran.

Judge Phong Viet is still not satisfied with it.

Tim!

Tim!

Tim!

Tim!

Tim!

Tim!

Where did you go? You bad boy.

Stop beating him,

take him home to get changed.

How is he?

-He's fine. -He's fine.

I need your clothes for him.

OK.

Holy moly!

Here, drink it when it's hot.

Help him.

Are you okay?

Did you swallow water?

Scared the hell out of me.

Get three bowls of rice to the place that he fell and worship.

You should.

OK.

You look handsome in this shirt.

Are you wearing pants?

Of course! My God!

Giang's son is handsome. Like father, like son.

-Isn't he? -Giang.

Where were you? How could you come just in time?

I'll be wherever Tue is.

No wonder why Tue doesn't care about you.

You should have let him stay here with us.

I know.

I told you.

If you're busy,

just leave him here. I'll take care of him.

Yeah right,

last time his hands were nearly cut off by the ice blender.

You should let him go to school.

It'll be so much easier for you, and him, too.

He's going to school soon, Tam.

-Really? -But he'll be one year behind.

Sounds good.

It's okay that you are one year behind.

I were even three years behind but still, I became a successful man.

Stop talking bullshit.

Gosh, I heard you became a hero, saving the pretty woman's son this morning.

While pretty...

Giang, let me help you.

Piece of a cake.

Hey, you have more than enough ice. Why did you order more?

It's my business.

I can order as much as I want.

Are you selling?

You have that much free time?

Ordering one ice pack every 30 minutes. Ridiculous.

I want to.

Where are you going?

Hey, wait, are you tired?

Have some energy drink,

then go to bed and sleep.

Are you insane?

Energy drink then go to bed? For what?

Well, have some energy drink

then go to bed. It makes you feel better.

25,000 dong for five packs.

Bring two more this afternoon then I'll pay.

Okay.

Hang on, Giang. Mai...

Stop it!

Stop matching our name!

Sounds so irritating!

Giang Mai (syphilis). Why irritating?

Actually, it is... but Giang... Giang!

Did it hurt when I beat you?

I'm sorry. I was so scared.

Tim.

Tue.

Yeah... Mom Tue.

Mommy.

Tue.

Mommy.

Tue.

Just a second.

Hello.

You have my sympathy.

He should be in second grade.

Letting him study in first grade is quite confusing.

I'm not sure whether he can.

He can, of course.

He knows a lot of things.

He can focus, not like last year.

Stay focused and get your books, please.

He is focusing.

He likes spinning stuff.

I'm afraid he only focuses on what he likes.

-It'll be hard. -No.

He'll just look at it for a while

then he'll be back to studying.

I hope so.

You can go now. The class has started.

-Thank you a lot, teacher. -No problem.

Please repeat after me.

Yeah.

-"A". -"A".

-"B". -"B".

-"C". -"C".

-"A". -"A".

-"B". -"B".

-"C". -"C".

Tue.

What's wrong with you?

Why do you suddenly stop me?

Money.

-What money? -School tuition for Tim.

Listen, it's for Tim.

Mom Tue doesn't have to work today.

Mind your own business.

Take it.

I don't want people to think that I'm taking advantage of you.

Who dares to take advantage of me?

I only do what I want.

No one can force me.

I'll kill them if I have to.

Take it, Tue.

I know that you care about us.

But I can take care of it.

Tue, wait...

Okay... you borrow it from me.

Pay me back when you can.

I don't need it.

Leave me the alone!

I mean don't worry about us.

Tue!
