Back Door (後門)

This is a common rear alley

but an unusal thing had happened here

Maid Wong loves to tell my wife every trifling matter

and my wife will tell me in regard of bother

Such as no.3 cook stole meat

No.9 loves to carry tales

The lady in No.8 has a affair

All of these are...

trifling matters

No one will take it seriously

One day

I found the house opposite my home

sitting a girl aged 6 or 7

with big eyes, dark skin

round face, look lovely

She sits in the rear entrance all the days

""Rear Entrance""

That"s strange

Such lovely

and clever girl

carrying the cat alone all the day

Why there is no one play with her?

Why there is no one take care of her?

Doesn"t she go to school?

Where are her parents?

This morning, l"m writing something

Maid Wong...

What"s the matter?

Someone is ringing the bell

Maid Wong...

Look, I forgot that

What?

Today is your birthday

I asked Maid Wong to buy something early

Maybe she hasn"t come back yet

Just a common birthday

You are 42 years old already

Still a young birthday?

Oh, so good

Wake up so early?

When did you wake up?

Me? Early

When?

Six o"clock

Yes

Thank you

Come to have your breakfast, Ling

You"ve been to the market already, Maid Wong?

Today is our master"s birthday

Say morning to Maid Wong

Good morning, Maid Wong

Ling, morning

Go inside and have your breakfast

This girl is so clever and beautiful

Unfortunately, she has a pity life

Did her mother come to see her, Maid Cheung?

Several times secretly

They didn"t know that

Does her stepmother treat her well?

Do you think she will treat her well?

You know she is going to have a baby

Then her father should treat her well, right?

He"s not at home all the day

He always goes gambling or plays mah-jongg

They seldom meet each other

Oh, let me do it

Master write until morning

Let him eat first and go to sleep

I"ve prepared, just take them out

You sit here and play

Father and mother

will go to play mah-jongg until tomorrow morning

If you wake him up, he must scold you

What"s a poor girl!

What does her father do?

Someone said that he was a teacher in an English College

and later fell in love with a student

so got divorce with Ling"s mother

Oh!

Her stepmother was her father"s student?

Yes

So he can"t stay in the school anymore

He found a job in a newspaper and being...

Editor

Yes. He gambled and drank wine all the time

and didn"t have a look to his child

So she sits alone in the rear entrance

Oh, what a pity!

Who?

Who always sit in the rear entrance?

We are talking about Ah Ling

Ah Ling? Which one?

Look

She is quite lovely

Do you like her?

She is someone"s kid

Do you really love children?

Never mind

Have breakfast

A home needs a child

just like picture needs people

I and my wife was love match

but our life is flat and boring

I don"t like talking

I talked less when I was with my wife

She really wants a child

But she never pregnant

I"m afraid she will be upset

so I never talk to her about this

The day after tomorrow is Ching Ming Festival?

Yes, tomorrow is Happy Children"s Day

Oh, I worked day and night

and forgot the date

It is because you don"t have children

If you have a child...

Ah, I forgot I am boiling water

Of course it"s good to have a child at home

but it"s also trouble

You work in a kindergarten

and stay with children all the day

Don"t you feel annoyed?

Little rabbit

Principal

I think it"s better to buy a new piano

You know we have limited budget

I think just repair it. See you

Goodbye, Mrs. Tsui

Goodbye teacher

Goodbye...

Good morning Mr. Tsui

Good morning

Is you manager here?

No, today is Happy Children"s Day

Maybe he has a picnic with his children

Is there anything I can help?

Nothing

Mr. Tsui

Today is Happy Children"s Day

Give these balloons to your kids

Okay...thank you

You"re welcome

I catch you...

Fly...fly away

Wait for me

I give it to you, okay?

No?

It"s for you

Really, it"s for you

Come on

Take this

Thank you, uncle Tsui

Good

How do you know I am Mr. Tsui?

Maid Wong told me

Mr. Tsui

If you had a child like her

just like birds standing in the tree

and bodhisattva gets spirit

Then our home won"t be so quiet

I think it"s good

Then there"ll be no kid crying at home

I"ve come for a gynecological check

Which doctor should I looking for?

Please wait

Doctor Cheung

Thanks

You go first

I"ll follow

Okay

Oh, Mrs. Tsui

Maid Cheung

This is Mrs. Tsui who I told you before

-Mrs. Tsui -Mrs. Ho

Maid Cheung told me

Mr. and Mrs. Tsui treated Ah Ling very well

I need to say thank you to you

Ah Ling is adorable

But she is naughty

Quite annoying

Oh?

She couldn"t pass the admission exam of the school

Her father was a teacher

I supposed she could go to school

and then I can let her stay in the school hostal

Otherwise she...

Sorry, please keep quiet

This is hospital, what a big deal!

You know it"s difficult to be a stepmother

We love children

You can ask Ah Ling...

Mrs. Tsui

Yes, coming

You can ask Ah Ling come to our home to play

I hope she can go to school early

and live outside

You know I being the stepmother...

We talk later

Okay...

Please sit

Sit
