One, two, three, four... seven flowers!

Don't you fall. Please don't fall.

Dad and me have been waiting for so long.

Please help.

Dad says you stay under the tree.

Up here is where the flowers become fruit.

Don't eat in the wrong place.

Feng, you're going to be late for school.

THE THIRD WISH:

The teacher says the scraps in the dumpster

at the back gate of the school,

you can take it for your compost.

Oh, did you say thank you to the teacher?

She is one of us. No need to thank her.

Who says that?

I helped you scratch yourself yesterday,

you didn't thank me.

You said no need to thank your teammate.

You cheeky monkey!

Stop tickling me! You're just like a kid.

Watch where you're going. Ha, ha ha.

Good morning.

Goodbye dad.

Good morning Teacher Chi.

Feng.

Feng! About your lunch money...

My dad says he will pay it.

So teacher... thank you.

I have to do morning cleaning. Bye!

Thank you teacher.

I'll be off. Goodbye teacher. Goodbye.

Feng's dad! Are you okay?

I'm fine... I'm fine.

Teacher, shouldn't you help him first?

Oh, that's right.

My motorbike.

Feng's dad, are you okay? Are you ok?

Okay.

Yes, speaking...

Oh, I know.

Thank you.

It's a coincidence that both my husband and

myself were interviewed at the same time.

Thank you for your appreciate

Thank you.

I've closed the Polish deal.

Let's celebrate.

I received the report

when I got off the plane.

The doctor says everything is normal.

There's no problem on my side either.

Oh.

Since both of us are fine,

the doctor said we can proceed with IVF.

There'll be more

tests before the treatment.

I will always be with you.

Hello...

Yes, speaking.

Yes... The documents are ready.

If there's any problem,

we can discuss later.

Ok, no problem.

Why do trees have flowers? Anybody knows?

Hands up if you know.

Ok, you.

Because the tree looks

prettier with flowers.

Ok, quiet everyone. Let Feng answer.

The tree will only

bear fruit if it has flowers.

Very good. That's correct.

But no pears come out of his orchard!

Ok, quiet down!

Feng gave the right answer.

Trees have flowers and

bear fruit so they can

go on from generation to generation.

Sorry, teacher. I've brought

Pear's lunchbox.

Ok, sit down. Now back to class...

There are lots of seeds inside the fruit

and those seeds, like all of you here,

will one day grow up to be big and tall.

Isn't it amazing? So trees have flowers...

Once we upgrade the system,

the efficiency will improve,

but initially there'll be some problems.

So, the client should know

this and must accept it.

Ok, that's it.

Why are we going so far for a meal?

Can't we have it closer to the office?

It's such a waste of time in this traffic.

I've taken my career to

a different stage now.

I really want a child.

Whenever I mention kids

you avoid the subject.

Tell me,

is it children you don't like, or me?

Who sent you that postcard?

No-one.

You can have this.

Why don't you have it?

I get bored eating these every day.

Are there still no pears in your orchard?

Mm.

How about trying some different fruit?

You don't get it.

It's hard to grow organic pears.

Dad says pears can't grow without pesticide.

He also says, your dad is...

An idiot, right?

Mm.

That's ok.

He's not the first person to say so.

My mom doesn't like pesticide either.

She feels sick every time

dad sprays chemicals.

Is it the same with your dad?

I don't know!

What a cute kid!

Let mommy hold you...

Let mommy hold you. Such a good boy.

Hao, you will be the next.

Keep working on it.

Boss, would like to hold the baby?

Yes.

You hold it!

Let Auntie hold you.

Oh, what are you crying for?

Let mommy hold you.

When Auntie has her own children,

she will know how to hold babies.

There

There... Be nice

Stop crying...

Wang said he will play

baseball with his boy.

When I have a son

I'll ride a Harley with him.

Are you ok?

If you don't want the IVF

We can adopt one.

What do you think?

Can you stop talking about children?

Can you stop talking about children!

Stop it. Stop mentioning children!

Feng.

Where's my dictionary? Fetch it for me.

Dad?

Why do we have to grow organic pears?

Because organic is...

How to say it...

Let me think...

Dad?

Are we running out of money?

Leave money to the adults.

You just study hard.

Every time I ask, you always say that!

Little Greeny.

That man is so strange.

I agree.

Isn't it cute?

Teacher Chi!

Hello.

I'm Ah-Me.

I went to the "Love the Earth" forum

and I asked you a question.

Teacher

I think what you said really makes sense.

We human beings should

get along with nature.

So I'm camping here to be with nature.

So I'm camping here to be with nature.

Teacher, can I ask you another question?

Err...

The eco-system of the river is

well preserved.

I'm thinking, will you be free

at the weekend?

We can go there, and also...

I am busy.

Sorry, I need to get to class.

How about next week?

Oh no!

Miss Chen, were you talking to...

Oh sorry.

Teacher.

Feng's dad.

Here's the pear tree you asked for.

Okay.

Where are you put it?

Put it... here.

Yuan, Yu! Stop running on the veranda!

The mountain looks

prettiest during springtime...

...because there are lots of flowers.

Teacher.

Is organic farming feasible?

Hmm?

People say my dad's a big idiot.

But I think your dad is doing a great thing.

He is doing something very few people do,

and it is the right thing to do.

Teacher.

If our pear trees have no flowers or fruit

Does it mean they are dying?

Dad is a big idiot!

How do you feel today?

Anything wrong?

If you are suffering, you must let me know.

Am I treating you badly?

I want you to grow naturally.

Without pesticide.

Keep on.

Dad!

Feng. Back from school?

What are you doing dad?

Another pest has burrowed

into the tree, look.

See, I picked up an empty bottle.

Yeah. Look, a big hole here.

Dad! Dad! Stop! You're making a scene.

You just get down here!

You get up here!

Get down here!

Get up here!

- Ok -No, no! Don't get up dad!

Add flour, add water... Mix.

Anyone home?

Anyone home?

Ow!

Here it comes.

I bought this cake to say

thank you to your dad.

And it's his birthday today!

What a coincidence.

I was going to buy him a cake...

But...

The money I got from recycling

wasn't enough.

So I'm making a cake myself

for his birthday.

I see.

My dad is home.

Dad.

What happened?

It's fine. I'm ok.

Teacher Chi.

Are you ok?

I'm fine. I fell off my ladder

in the orchard.

I have been absent-minded recently.

Dad? Did you forget to take your medicine?

Yes I did.

I've told you to concentrate.

I worry about you.

Ok, I'm sorry.

You two are funny.

Feng is like a dad and dad is like a son.

Here it comes.

One, two three...

Happy birthday!

Feng's dad, sorry to bother you today.

Don't say sorry.

It's me who should be thanking you.

You look after Feng for me.

He struggles when no-one

keeps an eye on him.

His English, grammar and vocabulary,

is poor.
