A Simple Life Page #6
She certainly speeded up my recovery
Now she's had a stroke
And it's my turn to look after her
Wouldn't it be disastrous if we were both ill!
I think God must have a supercomputer...
Keeping everyone's destinies in order
Don't you think?
You spend quite a bit on Tao every month
Can you afford it?
No problem, I can manage
She raised me, and my son too
How about this...
You cover her expenses while she's alive
And I'll pay for her funeral...
...to show my gratitude
And how about I buy you a soft drink?
No need!
Have some water
You first...
It's for you!
You're the host here, I'm your guest
Next time I come...
...I'll expect you to buy food...
...and cook us all a good meal!
I will
Come on...
Thank you
Thank you
Tao, that fridge is an antique!
Yes
Remember the first fridge we bought?
We had watermelon together?
Yes...
Master told me to buy a watermelon...
...from the market
I kept it in the fridge...
...and we all shared it that evening
Old Madam didn't like cold food, but she tasted it
That's right...
I must tell you, Old Madam asked me...
...to have some ointment ready...
...in case she got stomach pains!
Hello, ladies and gentlemen!
We're so happy we can visit you...
...for the Mid-Autumn Festival
Today we're here with ten remedial pets
She's now four years old
Very lovable, but she can be quite naughty
Now, the others
I'll introduce them
This one is a poodle
Fifi
You can play with her
And DouDou, is a cat
And Big Uncle
Big Uncle is not human, is a dog
"You're the only one in my life"
"Only you can perk me up"
"In this ever-changing world,
my heart is ever yours"
"My heart goes out in songs of praise"
Great!
Cut!
May you have good health
Good health to you!
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
This is for you
Good health to you!
I wish you health and happiness!
Hey, Roger! Is it you?
Bing!
What are you doing here?
Well...family...
Really? That's great
Haven't seen you in ages...Doing well?
Fine! And you?
You want one?
No, you don't need it!
Let's have tea sometime!
Sure
Happy Mid-Autumn festival!
Why are you taking them back?
These are just props
We have to visit other homes
We'll send the moon cakes over in a few days
Got any cash?
Lend me two or three hundred
Again?
Don't think I'm a soft touch! Are you still sick?
Or just itchy?
- Kin...
- You're crazy
What?
Let him do what he likes while he still can
I have some change...
I have change...Take it
How much?
HK$300
Again?
Alright
You're so generous...you
Ah Tao
Okay, we're off!
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
Bye...
Stay put, please stay put!
Be good sports!
Let's try ballroom dancing!
Scared?
No
Faster?
Yes, faster!
I can't do it!
Let's take a break, okay?
Faster!
No...
Let's have a...
Are you putting on weight?
I get out of breath so quickly
Want...have...
It's hot
I want to have roast goose
Wait...
Roast goose...
Wait...
- Look at you
- I want to have roast...
Roast goose
Roast goose rice noodles
She's had two strokes and has emphysema
All her functions are failing
There's nothing we can do
Shall we just let her pass away?
Think about it and tell me
Okay
Call you later
Hello, Carmen?
Yes
I'll stick to the schedule and fly tonight
Okay
You've made your decision?
Yes
Anyone to see her one last time?
No
Then I'll reduce her prescription
Yes
I have work in the Mainland
I'll be back in a week
If...
If she passes away,
please send her to the mortuary
I'll do the paperwork when I get back
Hey, lend me HK$100
HK$50?
HK$30?
"Reunions and partings are equally hard"
"The listless east wind, the withered blooms"
"The silkworm spits out silk until its death"
"The candle weeps tears until it gutters out"
"The mirror in the morning reflects wispy hairs"
"The chill evening moonlight, declaiming poems"
"No road to the magic mountain..."
"The eager bluebird quests in search"
It was a blessing to have Ah Tao...
...working in our family for so many years
Thank you all for coming today
Uncle Kin
Please sit down
