Water Bamboo Shoot
Be good.
The golden retriever will come and visit you soon.
Wow, it's 133 cm.
The shelf is too big.
Yeah, it's too high.
Let me check the thickness of the wood.
I'll remake it,
use the remaining sticks.
It seems hard to eat.
It's raining.
Wear a hat.
Where is Dawang?
Don't let him get wet, grandma.
Come up, Dawang.
Penji, here's the saw.
How come you didn't find it?
How come you found it.
I always missed it.
It was right in the corner.
Let me have a try.
I think this one works better.
What are you sawing the wood for?
Grandpa, I'm making a shelf for flowers.
Okay.
The one they made is too high.
Here it needs to be fastened as well.
95 cm.
Grandma.
Yes?
I'll go and get some dirt for the flowers.
Grandma, don't come with me.
I'll be back soon.
I'm coming.
You won't be back soon.
That's OK.
Get down, Dawang.
Oops, it's broken.
I'm coming down, grandma.
Sure.
That's it?
Yes. Don't put too much dirt in.
Move.
Dawang, you are pretty heavy already.
Grandma, let's close the door.
Oops, your foot.
No worries.
We're back.
Please get down.
Sure.
Move.
Get down.
Grandma, how many bags are there?
There are 8 bags.
It's heavy, but we didn't take much dirt.
It didn't help me at all.
Lazy Dawang.
Why you ran onto the tractor then?
Are you my silly dog?
Let me see if you're my silly dog.
There's another cart of flower pots.
Why you bring home so many pots?
We don't have room for all of them.
I took all the pretty ones.
Grandma, I'd like to clean them first.
Brush it and put in the plants.
Move. You don't know how to do that.
What are you doing here?
I took all the pretty ones.
Penji.
Yes?
What are they?
They're one of the Chinese zodiac signs.
Use them to decorate.
Sand
Saw dust
Is the sand enough?
I think so. Don't put in too much.
Grandma, we don't need that much dirt.
Dawang, it's not drinkable.
Don't drink that water.
It has dirt inside.
Dawang, the flowers are not ediable.
No eating.
No biting.
Did you hear it?
Watch for the flowers.
Go away.
Over there.
Move.
Move, I'm watering the flowers.
I'll then take a shower.
It's cold.
Dawang, don't mess with the flowers.
A broken flowerpot and you'll have no meat for a month.
It won't help even if you're looking at grandpa.
Uncle's water bamboo shoots are ready to be picked.
Yeah.
I'll go and get them tomorrow morning.
Did he told you today?
Yeah.
Very sweet.
Wow, it's pretty big.
I almost fell down.
Grandma.
Yes?
Help me with the peeling.
I'll go and change the clothes.
Sure.
My clothes are wet.
You can pick them after they've grown out.
They pick them once in two days.
Yeah.
Grandma.
Yes?
Here are two flowers
It does blossom.
I never knew that before.
Yeah.
I'll put these away.
Dawang, you're blocking the way.
Grandma, don't go away.

Grandpa.
I'm on a diet so do help yourself.

I've saved a whole bowl of it.
That's enough.
Have some more.
I'm almost full.
Have some, grandpa.
No more.
Help yourself.
It's good.
Is it spicy, grandma?
A little.
Water bamboo shoot tastes good when it's tender.
One cup of wine and that's it.
