Your phone call.
Mom.
Qin Qing is at my place.
I know.
Here you go.
Mom.
Hello?
No one answers.
It's not your mom, it's my mom.
She's coming to you. Hurry and get up.
Wake up.
Get up and wash up. Wash your face.
You wake up.
She's looking for you. Why should I wake up?
Wake up together.
One, two, three.
I can't do it. I'm having a headache.
Wake up, wake up.
Auntie.
You woke us up
early in the morning.
What's the matter?
What's the matter?
Didn't I promise you
to find out things
about Zuo's mother few days ago?
You...
You found out something?
I found out something.
She has a colleague
that I'm acquainted with.
And?
And?
And this matter,
leave it all to me.
Auntie, I love you so much!
Mom, you're the light of life!
Mom is
the light of your lives.
Hello?
Ms Shen.
What have you been up to recently?
What can I be up to?
I'm still working on my thesis.
No matter how I modify it,
I'm still not satisfied.
In the next few days, attend
my birthday party, okay?
I kept it in mind.
Which of your birthday party
have I not attended?
Sweetheart.
I'll go downstairs
and call you later.
Okay. Goodbye.
Mom.
You said you hadn't been
feeling well for the past few days,
why are you using the computer now?
The soup that I made for you,
have you had it?
Yes, I have. I finished all of it.
I'm a bit full now.
You're full with just that little amount?
That means
your gastrointestinal function
is still not good.
From now on, eat at home.
Mom will nurse you back to health.
I'll go downstairs for a walk.
Wait.
I'll go with you.
It happens that I feel like moving.
You're not writing anymore?
Not writing anymore.
I'm getting dizzy.
I'll write it later.
Didn't you say
you're not feeling well?
Why don't you rest at home?
I'll be back soon.
Lin Lin, Mom neither wants to supervise you,
nor do I want to limit
your freedom.
Mom just wants your company.
Have a walk and chat together.
In the future, when you're married,
with your wife and kids,
you won't have time for me anymore.
Right?
Okay, Mom.
I'll take a walk with you.
Oh, yeah,
Lin Lin.
These two days,
my chest
feels like there's a rock
sitting on it.
It feels tight.
Why don't you stay at home at night?
In case if something happens,
there's someone with me.
Right?
Okay, Mom.
For the next few days,
I'll come back to keep you company.
My Lin Lin is such a good boy.
You must have been busy recently.
Not too bad.
What time is it now?
Why isn't Ms Shen here yet?
Shen is picking up someone downstairs.
I heard there's another
friend coming.
Who is it?
Here, Director Li.
You're here.
I'm here.
You have all arrived.
Let me introduce.
These are all
the teachers from our high school section.
Ms Liu, Mr Chang,
Mr Du, Ms Tian.
Hello, hello.
This is
my good friend.
Our senior in
the education bureau.
She was working at
the reference section of the education bureau.
Li Ru Hui, Director Li.
-Director Li. -Hello, Director Li.
Don't, don't.
Call me Old Li.
I retired last year.
Even so, you were still a director.
Let's not stand.
Let's have a seat.
Have a seat.
Director Li, please sit here.
Right next to Ms Shen.
Okay, okay.
Here, here.
Thank you for that then.
Sit.
Hurry. You've waited for long.
Let's raise your glass.
Sure.
Okay?
Here.
Happy birthday to Ms Shen.
-Happy birthday. -Happy birthday.
Thank you. Thank you.
Be happy every day.
Come.
Come. Everyone, let's eat.
Director Li.
Uhm...Did you attend
the research meeting
held in the city last year?
It's the year before last year.
The autumn of the year before last year.
Yes, yes. The autumn of the year before last year.
No wonder.
When I came in just now,
I thought you looked familiar.
Really?
Because I attended it as well.
We didn't greet each other by then.
It just hit me.
Tian,
aren't you
researching for
a thesis now?
Old Li has worked
at the education bureau
for a long time.
Maybe she can help you.
I wouldn't want to trouble.
What thesis?
Actually, it's nothing.
I was thinking that
based on the education reformation
and my own work experience
from recent years,
I want to analyze and discuss
some new teaching methods.
Ms Tian really is
a model teacher.
