A River Runs Through It

Episode 5 We are tiny and we are great

So nervous.

We have spent so much

efforts for today.

If we screw it,

all the efforts

will be in vain.

Don't be nervous.

Think about it.

Once we finish the exam,

we will be free from these.

We can get up

whenever we want.

We can go

wherever we want.

I'm looking forward to it.

Calm down.

Just check if you

have taken all the things.

Yes, sure.

You have checked

so many times.

We are walking towards the direction that have set.

We are standing at the crossing of life.

Nobody knows

what there is ahead

waiting for us.

The holiday will start on tomorrow.

On the 8th January of lunar year.

The second semester will begin.

During the holiday,

if your parents go to

drop around,

you'd better not to go with them.

Don be too relaxed during

the winter holiday.

There is so much homework.

How can we be relaxed?

These are only for English.

The homework for other subjects will come soon.

Teacher,

there are only about

10 days of the holiday.

But we have to spend

half a year to finish them.

Mr Zhang,

shall we skip the holiday?

Let's keep having class.

Who said so?

I'm telling you.

I will wait for you here.

You have to come.

No, no.

Teacher, I...

I was kidding.

Kidding?

On the first day of next term,

I will check your homework carefully.

Alright?

There is another task.

Consider which university

you want to enter

during the holiday.

Consider what major you want to choose.

Set a target for yourself.

Once you have the target,

you will have power.

Did you hear it?

Yes.

Okay.

That's all for today.

- Class is over. - Stand up.

Teacher, goodbye.

Goodbye, students.

We can't choose which college

or major as we want.

We are not good as Cheng Lang.

He can go to any good university.

What's the matter?

What?

What's wrong with my Cheng Lang?

Is it his fault for being that good?

So Tsinghua university or Peking university?

Jiangzhou University.

Major in Computer Science.

Right?

Right, Computer Science.

Fine.

- Shiyi, you? - Jiangzhou University?

I surely choose

whatever is the coolest.

Who said so?

Lu Shiyi,

I haven't got even with you

about the fact that you

took others to participate

in the sports meeting secretly.

And you...

You are naughty as well.

Uncle Han, finished your work?

- Just come back? - Yes.

What day is today?

There are so many

guests in your barbershop.

- Okay. - I won't keep you.

I just brought it.

Mom.

When did you come back?

Guess.

I missed you so much.

My breath.

Mom?

Every time Aunt Li comes back

the business of

the barbershop is great.

Why?

Because Aunt Li is

the one who leads

the fashion trend here.

Mom, we are off the class.

Good.

Did you buy the PS?

You just care about the PS.

Why don't you care about me?

I just asked you.

Did you buy it, Mom?

- On the table. - Really?

Thank you, Mom.

Cheng Lang.

We have a new one.

Play Station.

Let's go.

Let me put my bag down.

See you later.

- Be quick. - Okay.

I come back then, Mom.

Be careful.

It's just a play station.

Why is he so happy?

How about these hairstyles?

Yes, good.

These are the most popular hairstyles

I brought for your mom.

Put them on the wall later.

Thank you, Aunt Li.

Mom, I will go back to my room first.

- Just go. - Xiaoju.

Mom.

Here, this is Aunt Li.

She came from Guangzhou.

And she brought us so much food.

Say "thank you" to Aunt Li.

Thank you, Aunt Li.

Is she your daughter?

So pretty.

Well, Mom.

- I will go back first. - Okay.

- Aunt Li... - Take the presents.

Take them.

- Be careful. - So many!

Bye, Aunt.

Mom, see you.

Do your homework.

Got it.

Be careful.

Xiaohong,

you always bought a lot

when you came back.

How to thank you?

That's what I should do.

When I was not here,

you helped to take care of Lu

and Shiyi.

It's not a big deal for me to bring some gifts.

Xiaohong,

you will stay longer this time?

Yes, I will.

Shiyi is about to take the exam.

If I choose

to have business trip now,

I won't be a good Mom.

So I will just stay home to take care of them.

You are right.

The College Entrance Exam

is the priority.

As their parents,

all of us want our kids to

enter good universities.

Right.

And become

capable in the future.

- Right? - Right.

You don't need to worry at all.

Your kid is great in studying.

He will be capable anyway.

Chang Lang

wants to choose Computer Science

in Jiangzhou University.

He said it will be popular in the future.

Everyone has to learn it.

How is this major?

It's good.

It's very easy to find a job in this industry.

So popular now.

Right,

what major Shiyi wants to study?

I've asked him so many times, but he refused to say.

It seems that it's quite complicated

in choosing a major.

Isn't it good enough to enter the university?

Not at all.

The majors they choose

are related to

their job in the future.

You know, many kids

with bad grades choose

unpopular majors and

they can be admitted to key universities.

You scared me, dad.

Why didn't you

knock on the door?

Guilty conscience.

Where is your Mom?

Didn't she come back with you?

She is downstairs,

chatting with aunts in the barbershop.

How can she have so many things to talk about with others?

She hasn't been home for so long.

She doesn't talk to me much

and just goes out.

Go to ask your Mom to come back.

If you want to talk to my Mom,

then go to ask her to come back

yourself, why ask me to do so?

You...

Just go.

Right.

When I was off work today,

I met your teacher.

Did you say that you were going to

choose whatever the coolest

as your major?

Did you say so?

Yes.

I indeed said so.

What's wrong, dad?

What is the coolest?

Can it be useful?

I won't count on you.

I've prepared some

majors that must be

popular in the future.

You may choose from them.

Don't... Dad.

The majors you chose

must be those I don't like.

Just go to mind your own business, dad.

How can you know

you don't like it?

I chose them

based on your

personality

and hobby.

I have to master

my own future.

If you master your future by your own,

it will be ruined by yourself.

How can it be

ruined by myself?

What do you mean

by saying this?

Can you just listen to me?

How didn't I listen to you?

Dad...

Why are you arguing again?

Look at him, Mom.

He kept blaming me.

Look at your son.

He is not a kid.

But he keeps being naughty.

Look.

Don't always make your dad unhappy.

He knows well.

Don't interfere in it.

Right.

You know, there is a saying

that kind mothers

always have spoiled kids.

I'm telling you.

If you argue with our son again,

I will live in Sis Ding's home.

Your arguments make me annoyed.

Thank you, Mom.

Go round.

Why did you...

The joypad you gave to me

is seems to be wrong.

Fine.

Just one moment more.

It's Senior 3 now.

He is still playing games.

What if you influenced Cheng Lang's grades?

Fine, stop it.

The TV is almost hot.

Stop watching, go to study.

Mom, the holiday just began.

Let me just be relaxed for a moment.

Mom, I'm going to study.

Look.

Look at Jiashu.

If your grades are good,

you may watch

the TV everyday.

Fine, listen to your mom.

Just go to study.

When the exam is over, you may do whatever you like.

Just go.

Hurry up.

You just always

criticize me for my study.

It's your fault as well.

You didn't stop

them from watching TV.

And you even watched it with them.

Don't be that direct

when you are speaking.

Xiaoju...

I'm afraid that it will hurt her self-dignity.

You know,

Lu Shiyi's mom came back

today.

She told me

that you have to choose a good major.

Once we choose a good major,

even though her grades

are not good enough, she can also be admitted to

good colleges,

and she can find a good job in the future.

So I'm so worried.

- How to choose... - What?

Choose the major?

Right.

But how can we choose it since we don't know it?

Right.

So,

we have to find someone who knows

to teach us.

Who?

Clear Things Up

It's almost us.

Let's go, get prepared.

Let's go.

Since we bought this book,

our kid will

perform well in the exam.

Next.

Coming, hurry up.

Go for it.

Look at these.

It seems good.

A savior for the College Entrance Examination.

Mr Kong.

Say hello to Mr Kong.

Mr Kong, hello.

For the College Entrance Exam?

Yes, yes.

Arts or sciences?

My daughter specializes in sciences.

Sciences?

How is the grade?

Show the report.

Mr Kong, look.

Here is the report.

With these grades,

it's a bit hard to be admitted.

Mr Kong,

we'd like to ask you to give us a hint

which major my daughter should choose

to be admitted to good colleges.

It's not hard, you know.

It's the issue of probability.

Do you understand it?

Don't choose those

popular majors.

Too many candidates.

With these grades,

you can hardly be admitted.

Choose some unpopular majors.

Few candidates,

higher probability

to be admitted.

Who doesn't know this?

Don't interrupt. Listen to Mr Kong.

There is something you don't know.

Please.

What do you need in studying?

You need memorizing

and understanding.

Once you can memorize

and understand well, you won't be

worried about your studies anymore.

You can solve

any problems.

Then how to improve

these abilities?

Right.

Mr Kong's secret tips for the College Entrance Exam

Mom, he just tries to sell the books.

Don't say that, you don't get it.

Dad, say something.

Well,

I wanted to

recommend these to you.

However,

since your kid doesn't

want to learn nor buy them...

No, no...

It's okay.

I have an another secret tip.

Another one?

Today,

I will tell you for free,

since I feel

that it's fate to meet your daughter.

Mom,

I don't want to drink this garlic juice.

Don't make this for me.

It's stink.

Mr Kong has said that

this will help to develop your

intelligence, brain

and immune system.

It will be useful if you drink it everyday.

One spoon of this...

This Mr Kong

must be a liar.

He just

said it on purpose

because I didn't buy his books.

What nonsense you are saying!

Let me tell you,

the daughter of your aunt's colleague

was admitted to key university

because of this garlic juice.

Here, be good.

Just drink it.

Here, come on.

Be good.

Come on.

Hurry.

Just drink

it at one sitting.

Hurry up.

Come on.

That's good.

Look at you,

is it really that bad?

Drink one more cup.

One more, one more.

Mom...

I... I have to

go to Cheng Lang to study.

Look at you...

After reading the question,

establish the Cartesian coordinate system.

Then look at this inequation.

In this coordinate system,

the focus of X-axis

and the focus of Y-axis...

This question

seems to be hard to solve,

but in fact, it's easy.

Look at the first question.

Jiashu.

Come here.

The brain

of your sister is not smart,

you'd better not to disturb her.

Right?

Fair enough.

Here are some candies.

These two for you.

One for each of you.

- Thank you, Brother Shiyi. - No problem.

Just go.

See you tonight.

Then we look at

this curve.

The X-axis...

Xiaoju?

It's so hard.

I think I might not

be admitted to university.

Xia Xiaoju,

did you eat garlic again?

Don't cover your mouth.

I can

smell it even though you are covering it.

How can it be?

I have washed my mouth.

Xiaoju.

That Mr Kong

seems to be a defrauder.

How could there be a tip like that?

I know.

But my mom requires

me to drink

that garlic juice

every day.

Don't sigh.

Don't sigh.

The smell is stronger now.

Step aside before I do something to you.

Get away. I will call Jiashu.

Xiaoju.

Just finish the questions.

Get up.

Come on.

Let's keep studying.

Dad.

I will hang this on the door.

Make it higher, higher.

Wait, wait for me.

Kids, be careful.

Cover your ears.

Mom, let me help you.

You are making egg dumplings.

It smells so good.

Happy Spring Festival

So pretty.

Wanfang, your skills

are wonderful.

I like this hairstyle.

Ding, I want a same one as well.

Aunt.

Xiaoju.

Such a cold day!

Why don't you

wear a coat?

I was helping my mom to clean up.

I don't feel cold at all.

Aunt, my mom asked me to give you

these egg dumplings.

You shouldn't have.

Convey my thanks to your mom.

Cheng Lang, come here.

Xiaoju is here.

Cheng Lang.

Does it smell good?

Yes, good.

Did you make them?

My mom made them.

I just give them to you.

But the stuffing

is chopped by me.

It looks yummy.

Thank you, Xiaoju.

No problem.

I got more than 10 questions

to ask you anyway.

Happy Spring Festival. Bye.

Okay, Happy New Year.

It's too high.

Make it lower.

Lower the right side.

In this way?

Make it lower.

Lower?

- In this way? - Lower.

Are you sure it should be lower?

I can see it clearly from here.

Just listen to me.

In this way?

Right, right.

Xia Xiaoju, stop there.

A gentleman uses his tongue but not his fists.

If you keep doing this,

I won't give you egg dumplings.

It hurts.

You were fast.

Scud.

Since you like running

and you are good at it,

you can apply to the sports college.

You must be admitted.

Why don't you apply to it yourself?

Mind your attitude.

I'm helping you, okay?

It's New Year.

Can't you just be nice to me?

Just let me go.

Wait here.

Just wait here.

Where are you going?

Wait for me.

Xia Xiaoju.

- What? - This is for you.

Universities and majors

What are these? Universities and majors

What are these?

My dad wrote these for me.

You know,

the handwriting of doctors

is always not that clear.

Your dad wrote these for you?

You don't need them?

I don't need it.

I have decided

which major I want to choose.

What is it?

So mysterious.

Spring Festival Gala (Year 1998)

Mom, it begins.

Xia, the gala begins.

Come here.

Jiashu.

Jiashu, stop playing.

Xia Jiashu.

How can you use this

to make a paper airplane?

Xiaoju.

I... I just saw it was

on the table.

Who allowed you to use my stuff?

It's just one paper.

Why are you

mad at your brother?

Mom.

This is given by Lu Shiyi

for choosing majors.

I know that, I've read it.

There are all

popular majors on it.

Did you forget

what Mr Kong said about

the probability?

Based on that probability,

I don't think

you can be admitted to these majors.

Just let him play with it.

Right, you can't be admitted anyway.

Mom, why are you always...

What?

Forget it.

I'm not someone anyway.

I will go downstairs.

Look at you.

How can you have such a bad temper?

Happy New Year.

What's up?

Such a salute!

I don't have lucky money for you.

Look at you.

What's wrong?

It's none of your business.

What?

You are unhappy at New Year's Eve?

Don't be unhappy.

Let's go.

I will take you to see Cheng Lang.

I'm not going.

Fine.

I will go myself.

You just stay here then.

Hey.

Don't be upset.

Let's go.

I'm telling you.

I take you to here

because

I'm happy today.

Xiaoju is also here?

Come on.

Here.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

You are drinking alcohol.

We will be 18 after the New Year.

What's wrong?

Childish.

Do you think you are an adult

since you drink alcohol?

Xiaoju,

this is cider.

Do you want to try it?

Yes.

Xia Xiaoju, can't you just

have backbone?

No.

It's New Year.

Make some comments.

Is it cool here?

I'm telling you,

this is the secret base

between Cheng Lang and me.

We decorated by ourselves.

Is it cool?

Cool.

To think that there is somewhere

like here.

Say something.

I think you do have a girlish heart.

What girlish heart?

Come here.

Look.

You can see your home from here.

The second floor, right?

What? Be happy.

Cheng Lang, this is so cute.

You like it?

Yes.

I will give it to you when it's done.

Really?

Thank you.

Chilly.

Yes.

Me too.

Look at you,

come here to drink alcohol

on such a cold night.

Here, the gloves.

It's warm.

Here.

Thanks.

Chill?

It won't be cold with this.

Look pretty.

You two are

indeed gentlemen.

Shiyi, Shiyi, Shiyi.

Fine, okay.

What?

It hurts.

I was kidding.

It hurts.

Why did you beat me so hard?

I know you are not that kind.

Come on.

You are so strong,

since you eat a lot.

I won't argue with you.

Xiaoju,

you were unhappy just now.

What happened?

Why were you upset?

It's because of my mom.

Xia Jiashu use the paper

Lu Shiyi gave to me for choosing

majors to make paper airplane.

She thinks Xia Jushu wasn't wrong.

That's all?

That's all.

Just because of this?

I thought

you were beaten by your mom.

Look at you.

Come on, not a big deal.

Just be happy.

You don't get it.

How don't I get it?

In my mom's mind,

Xia Jiashu is always better than me.

I have to enter a good university

to show her.

Have you decided which university you want to enter?

Jiangzhou University.

Medical Science.

You? You want to be a doctor?

Yes, what's wrong?

Being a doctor has been my dream since childhood.

Shiyi,

does your dad agree?

Didn't he say that he would

choose for you?

Whatever.

I will make my own

decision by myself.

Cheng Lang wants to go to Jiangzhou University.

And you too.

I will apply to it as well.

Well, Xia Xiaoju,

why are you always

following Cheng Lang and me?

You are everywhere.

I don't want to always see you

and be your schoolmate in the university.

Do you own Jiangzhou University?

Why can't I apply to it?

Then go ahead.

Yes, I will.

If I can't be admitted to

the first tier, I can apply to the second tier.

Fine, fine.

I won't stop you.

Since you have decided,

then work hard.

You might be admitted.

Right, Xiaoju.

I believe you.

Let's be schoolmates

in the university.

Come on.

That's the deal.

Fireworks.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

After the exam,

I will go to watch the ocean.

We will go with you.

No problem.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Xia Xiaoju.

Is that your dad?

Xiaoju, where did you go this late

at night?

I was so worried.

You...

Dad, I...

Uncle Xia,

Xiaoju went to

see fireworks with us.

Happy New Year! Uncle.

We have to go.

Let's go.

- Bye, Uncle. - I was worried.

- Bye, Uncle.

Dad.

It's cold, just throw it away.

Don't be like this anymore.

I was so worried.

Okay, let's go home.

Xiaoju, you are not a kid now.

You can't just go away

since you were scolded.

Your mom and I were so worried.

I got it, dad.

Everyone was asked

a question in childhood?

Do you like your mom

or your dad?

It's hard for other children to choose.

But I think

it's not a hard question.

When I was a kid,

I knew clearly

I prefer my dad.

But if this is the case,

my mom seems to be able to

have her own preference as well.

Xia Xiaoju.

Jiangzhou University

is a key university.

Teacher,

I won't apply to the first tier,

second tier instead.

Look,

we should do things

based on our capabilities.

With your current grades, it's

still quite hard for you to be admitted to

the second tier of Jiangzhou University.

You think I can't make it as well?

No, no.

I didn't mean that.

I mean, well,

when we set our targets,

we shouldn't set a target

which is beyond our capabilities.

But for me, all of them

are beyond my capability.

Well, you can't just say it like that.

So I just want to have a try.

Teacher,

isn't there

a saying that

keep trying everything in a desperate situation?

Teacher,

just let me have a try.

I think I can make it.

Fine.

But you have to consider carefully

for the second choice.

Okay.

Thank you.

Bye.

Okay.

Taotao, it's done.

You may go in.

Mr Zhang.

If you want to have a good grade, take this supplement.

Get prepared for the exam, right now!

Give me one, give me one.

Come on.

Have a look.

What do you need for the exam?

The key is your brains...

Your kid is preparing for the exam?

What's it?

Hurry to buy it.

The supplements.

Good for brains.

- It's there? - Yes, over there.

Just one course of treatment.

You may choose any key university.

Come on.

Have a look.

Come on.

Okay, come on.

What's wrong? Are you okay?

Are you okay?

It hurts.

It's too crowded.

We can't get close to it.

But it's good for kids'

brains.

We should buy it.

Our kids should have

what other kids have.

We must buy it.

Right.

Great products,

wonderful effects.

Whose money is it on the ground?

Give me three.

Xiaoju, here.

What? Are you still mad at me?

I didn't say anything.

You have said enough.

Like I'm not good at learning,

and I can't be admitted.

If I do think you

can't be admitted,

I wouldn't buy this

for you.

I was

afraid that you would be sad

if you can't be admitted.

You don't believe me.

That makes me feel sad.

Okay, fine.

As long as you study hard,

no matter if you can be admitted,

I won't blame you.

Okay?

Mom,

I will study hard this time.

My rank in the class

has been improved

in these two exams.

Really?

Great.

That means

Mr Kong's secret tip

indeed works.

But

don't stay up too late

these days.

Well,

you have to be healthy.

Okay.

Okay, do your homework.

These are part of

references.

You may have a look.

When you

finished, I will give you the rest.

Okay, thanks, Lang.

Let me.

Do you need any other help?

Help me to take the posters

down.

I don't want to be distracted.

You do have the determination.

I have lots of

advantages.

One of them is

that I can keep my promise.

Since I have decided

that I would study hard

before the exam,

I won't touch them

anymore before

the exam.

It would be good if you can come round earlier.

There are only less

than 3 months left.

You have to work hard.

Sakuragi spent only 3 months

to get in the National Tournament.

I can make it as well.

Let's do it.

He is quite serious.

Is he studying?

Otherwise?

If he indeed

is studying seriously,

you know,

he will definitely be

admitted to those majors

I chose for him.

Definitely no problem.

Newton's first law of motion.

Morning.

upon by a force.

Morning, Shiyi.

Morning.

proportional to
