Tiger Mom (虎妈猫爸)

Episode 44

Here, Dad. Soak your feet in warm water.

Okay.

Lass, when will I get to see Qian Qian?

Dad, you should worry more about yourself first.

You're always so anxious.

Your blood pressure goes up so easily.

You have to remember not to stress yourself out too much.

Let me ask you again. When will I get to see Qian Qian?

I want to hear her call me 'Granddad.'

You'll always be her granddad.

Dad, Qian Qian only just started to speak again.

I'm worried that she's not stable yet.

If she sees you, it might remind her of the Victory Chant.

Let her relax a bit first.

What do you think?

Sure.

You're right.

There's no rush... We can wait a bit.

Lass, you did well, tearing up the Victory Chant that day.

If not...

When Qian Qian comes home

no one in our family will ever mention the Victory Chant again.

'Before dawn, before the rooster crows'

'Chinese and English, we loudly recite.'

Qian Qian's just recovered and now he's the one possessed?

'Before we open our eyes'

'we've recited it many times.'

'Formulas in math and physics'

'we firmly memorize.'

'Formulas are hard to memorize'

'we note it down on the back of our hands.'

'When in class, we strive to sit in the first row.'

'When in lecture, we must pay attention.'

'Check three times before handing in the paper.'

'Put down your pen only when the bell rings.'

'Bi Ran, Bi Ran, strive for number one!'

'The light is in the darkness!'

Sis, you've already wasted three seconds of my life.

Bi Ran, don't be like this. If you're ill, we can go to a doctor.

- Can you not scare us like this? - Seven seconds.

Listen, I really don't want you to become like this.

Ten seconds!

Sis, do you know that you're wasting away my life?

I ask that you leave my room, all right?

Hurry up!

Get some medication if he's not well.

Why don't you visit Qian Qian's doctor tomorrow?

Fifteen seconds!

Twenty!

Twenty-five!

Thirty!

'If you really don't know the answer just write B!'

- Hello. - Hello, can I purchase gastric pills?

May I ask if it's the blue or the orange ones?

The ones in blue boxes.

How much are two boxes?

It's RMB$24 in total.

Sheng Nan, have breakfast first.

- I've already had breakfast. - Bye, Daddy.

Goodbye.

Mom, my fever has gone up again.

Call my company to ask for sick leave.

Mommy, I just took temperature for Daddy.

It was 37.1 degrees Celsius yesterday and it's 37.2 today.

Wow... 37.2 degrees Celsius is also considered a high fever?

It's fine. Your dad whines at 36.8 degrees Celsius.

That's just his habit.

Whenever he has issues at work

he doesn't want to go to work and starts feeling warm.

Don't learn from him.

Daddy isn't manly.

Say goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa.

Goodbye, Grandma and Grandpa.

Daddy doesn't need medication. He just needs to sleep and drink more.

All right.

I can carry my own luggage.

Goodbye.

- Take care, Qian Qian. - Take care.

Goodbye.

Did you hear that? Even your daughter looks down on you.

All right, stop nagging at him.

When he didn't want to go to school, you always got him off on sick leave.

Didn't you spoil him?

- You're the one to say. - Do you want food or not?

Come on.

You can't tell that my wife is just teasing me a bit?

You're too old for that.

Come on!

- Good morning, Director Bi. - Good morning.

You don't even know how to spend money when you have some.

How can you call this a marketing scheme?

This is like an elementary school kid's homework content!

How dare you hand this in?

Redo it! Get out!

Qian Qian, go back to your room first.

Okay.

The marketing scheme still isn't done yet?

There's no one to do it.

Your brother gave up business for his studies at the crucial moment.

He's gone back to studying.

Where am I to find anyone suitable?

I actually have someone suitable in mind.

She's a lot better than Bi Ran.

Who is it?

Could she join us?

I'll try to talk to her first.

Hurry up.

Welcome!

Who knew that the all almighty Bi Sheng Nan

is now selling vegetables?

How did you end up like this?

Huang Li, it's been more than a year since we last met?

How old is your child?

A year old.

He's only one? Then he's not weaned?

He is. My mother is taking care of him.

Who knew that you're a mom now as well?

It's different after having a child.

You'll find that time flies by extremely fast.

It goes by so quickly in the blink of an eye.

Bi Sheng Nan, you didn't ask me out just to talk about life, did you?

Don't beat about the bush!

What are you trying to mock at? Throw it right at my face. I can take it!

You're already a mother. Why are you still so vicious?

Huang Li.

Do you remember what I told you when I left the company?

You don't understand how much a mother can sacrifice for her child.

But you eventually will.

What are your thoughts about it now?

Sit down and have a chat with me.

You're right. I am planting and selling vegetables now.

Let me show you this.

This is an introduction on our farm.

I think that this farm is very promising.

There is a huge market.

I hope that you can join us.

We can talk about the terms.

You can choose either an annual salary or join us as a partner.

I just ask that you get the marketing done.

Considering that you have a child to look after

you can have flexible hours.

You don't have to be in the office at the farm.

I believe that with your ability and willingness to strive hard

you can do well in this job.

I understand. You must have so many questions to ask me now.

Go ahead.

You...

You don't know how I am doing now

so why are you so certain that I'll join you?

You're a single mother.

Due to various reasons, you never told anyone who his father is.

You haven't worked in almost a year.

Your mother left her hometown to look after your child for you.

You don't know what will happen tomorrow.

You hardly leave the house.

Sometimes for two to three weeks

sometimes even a month.

Not only is this for the sake of your child

but also for yourself.

You should come out here.

I'm sorry.

There's always an auntie in every place who loves to gossip.

Please forgive me for my professional habit.

Before I speak to you, I have to understand your background.

I'm very sorry.

But I believe that as long as you take on this job

you can surely do it well.

Thank you.

You want her to do marketing? Are you insane?

Lower your voice! Don't let anyone hear you.

You told me that she has moral issues. Didn't you say so yourself?

Back then, she did have some issues.

But I guarantee that she can do the job now.

Why?

Why should I entrust her with the funds? What if it goes wrong?

There's no 'what if's.

One learns to cherish after being taught a lesson in life.

What's more, I really think that she is very capable.

She also agrees with our values.

Why can't we trust her?

Your reasons aren't good enough.

I'll give you a good enough reason.

She's now a single mom.

She will work hard for her child.

She's already learned her lessons

so she knows what responsibility is.

What about this?

I'll bear the consequences should she fail us.

Who is it?

What brings you here?

Auntie, do you still remember me?

Of course.

Aren't you Zhang's daughter?

What is that about?

My mother has passed away.

Really?

Come in. Don't be sad.

Don't stand outside the door. Come in and have a seat.

Auntie, where's Uncle Luo?
