Long Long Time Ago 2 (我们的故事2)

"Long long time ago 2"

With your husband dead and you pregnant

what do you take me for?

Well-behaved.

Come over here.

I have a pair of golden earrings here

Take it! -The hawker inspectors are here.

If anyone harasses or bullies you, just tell me

Just tell me,I'll stand up for you. Okay?

The Malays are killing Chinese!

Stop spouting nonsense

I was locked up like a pig

Now that I'm out,you want me to rear pigs?

If you don't want it, forget it

You take it

After the flood,

Mother took over the farming license from Grandfather

and ended her soya milk business

The family worked hard in front of our lawn

and built a pig sty

Even though we used only old wood

After we were done,

it became a new sty

"Taxi"

I just blinked and they're almost done?

Father and Ah Hee helped so it was faster

What are the three rascals doing?

Others are working.Why are they such busybodies?

Get them back here-It is fine

They have nothing to do back at home

What are you three doing?

I don't want you to raise pigs when you grow up

and yet you are there meddling

Come back

Told you not to help. Go and do your homework

Mother

Will we be able to feed our family just by rearing pigs?

Why not?

We don't even have pigs in our pigsty

Tomorrow I will head to Ninth Aunt to get money

When we have money,we can buy piglets

The piglets will grow up to be sows

The sows will give birth to piglets

then we can sell the piglets

We'll work harder and do more odd jobs

We can earn at least a few hundred dollars a month

We won't starve

I am more worried about

the situation should we have to move out

We can't farm or rear pigs and poultry

When that time comes,we'll really starve

We're comfortable living here

Why do we need to move in to flats?

The Government is developing to improve our country

It'll be great if we live in flats too

No need to fear fires

The Bukit Ho Swee fire a few years back was horrifying

All the straw and wooden tilt houses

were razed to the grounds

Everybody weeped their eyes out.

It was too pitiful

Sis

There is a hole in the roof,aren't you going to repair it?

Are you waiting it to become a pool before you mend it?

I have to coax and plead

Coming. I'll repair it right now

Uncle has a share in the house

Why can't he mend it himself?

We are family.We should help one another

We must not be calculative.Understand?

Also we need not fear leaks when we live in flats

All my money got conned away by her

That's right.She's always so well-dressed

Turns out it was just for show

No, she ran away with my life savings

Mine too

What happened?

The Chairman is missing

The Chairman ran?

What about the money?-Money? All gone

She cheated us all

It's such a big trouble now! That chairman ran with my money.

Zhao Di

Ah Long

I just got out of prison.This is my Mother

You were cheated of your money too?

You too?

I thought with the accumulated funds I can get piglets

My plans are dashed now

Me too

I've not been able to get a job since I just got out of prison

Mother wanted to get some money

For me to start a business and raise some funds

Didn't expect we would be conned

She better don't let me find her

This is my retribution

Goddess Guanyin

My pigsty is done but the Chairman has run off

I have no more money to buy pigs

Goddess Guanyin,If you are efficacious

please help me by granting me a few pigs

Help my family

Ah Long?

The pigs...

You bought them?

No

Our family's sow just gave birth to a dozen of piglets

As for these four...

How could I accept them?

I am just placing them under your care

When they give birth to piglets,just return four pigs to me

Won't that do?We'll not be in each other's debt

Thank you, Ah Long

Sugarcane?

There's another packet here.A treat for your children

Give Brother Long your thanks

Thank you...-Good

First time rearing pigs?

Are you still in 706?

Left the gang

With the government's sweep operation, everyone ran off

What are your future plans?

I didn't study and am illiterate.

I can only do unskilled labour

I am working at a coal factory now

Coal factory?

Do they hire females?

They do. Are you interested?-Yes

It is very dirty-No problem

How can rearing pigs be enough?

Let me arrange it

Thank you

Sis, it rained last night.Our roof started to leak again

Ah Kun called for you to mend it

Alright, I'll be right over

Sorry for the trouble

Bakkwa...-There's no time

I still need to get the new year groceries

Hurry up, Shun Fa

Bakkwa...

Ma'am, it's New Year.Have some Bakkwa?

Okay, give me one catty of Bakkwa.

Ah Cheng, one catty of Bakkwa

Thank you.

Let's go.

Oh my darling...

This place is not for you to sing

Ma'am

You are...-Ahmad

Ahmad?-Yeah.

It has been so long

Your hair has grown long

It is the fashion now

The fashion?

Why are you here?

Waiting for a friend to get a haircut

Your Father is unhappy?

Ahmad

Wait a minute

My friend is calling

One box of soda water

Heard that the year-end bonus at the coal factory is generous

So buy some more

Mother, I want some firecrackers to light during New Year

No, It's expensive and dangerous

I don't have so much cash-I want, I want

Don't be naughty

Bakkwa and firecrackers

You think your Mother print cash?

I still have to give red packets to Fourth Uncle and Aunt

and all the children

After the New Year,I still have to buy pigs to rear

Money spent on firecrackers will be gone once they are lit

Waste of money.You are not allowed to buy it
