Original subtitles

No livestock on the bus! You'll be fined.

The ferry, Everybody off!

Here! Take these.

Get off, get off.

Whose belongings are these?

Hey, miss, buy some tangerines?

Free sample. Taste it, try it.

The tangerines aren't as sweeet as sugar cane.

But they shouldn't be this sour.

You've seen the world. You should know. Right?

What a smooth talker!

Honestly, the ones in this bag are sweeter, but cost more.

You want a taste?

I want the sweet ones.

Too late now...Why didn't you say so earlier?

Don't worry! There's a lot of sweet ones in there.

You're quite a businessman.

I'm the businessman's professor.

Serves you right, serves you right.

Miss, do you come from Zhuangyuan Village?

Yes.

Are you from the Zhuang family?

No, my family name is Zhang.

I'm a Zhuang. Going back to see relatives?

No, to visit my grandmother's grave. She died recently.

I'm retired and going back home to live in the village.

I've got this letter in English from my son.

I don't understand it. Can you read it for me?

Your son is at UCLA!

He's the third. The eldest works in Australia.

The second, a daughter, is married an lives in Canada.

You have good fortune.

You dropped something!

Miss Zhang, are you alright?

You rest here. I'll go to the village for help.

They're coming...

They're coming...get ready! One, two, three

A warm welcome to returning compatriots from Hong Kong and Macau!

A warm welcome to returning compatriots from Hong Kong and Macau!

Welcome, welcome!

Down at the ferry...

This is the district's prize-winning goose.

Let's go and eat, the soup's getting cold.

Where's the girl from Hong Kong?

Down at the ferry...

But she's not part of your unit.

She fainted at the pier.

Why did she faint?

I don't know. I travelled with her.

Mr Zhong, who's going to fetch her?

How about you? Hurry up!

Let me take it!

Request electricity tonight.

After dinner we'll irrigate the fields.

Don't push! There's enough for everybody!

Come and thank Mr Tiao...

Let me get off!

The road's muddy.

Why get off?

I'm feeling much better.

Walk on that side, it's dry.

I hardly recognised you just now.

I recognised you straight away.

How many children have you got?

One!

A boy?

No, a girl.

Where's Pearl?

Gone to the County educational bereau to collect an award.

She must be a good teacher.

Yes, she's the principal now.

Oh! What happened to the old principal?

He retired and moved into town.

What happened to his daughter? She was in our class.

She married someone in Harbin.

It's cold up there.

Yes, they get lots of snow in winter.

What about your best friend "Monkey Arse"?

He died last year.

Died?

Yes, last July, we were working in the fields.

He was in front of me, carrying a sack of fertilisers

...he suddenly fell down dead.

Was he ill?

No.

We burried him the next day, it was hot.

I never thought people our age would just die.

Yes.

Are you a Party cadre now?

No, I'm still just a farmer.

Still working in the fields?

As head of school, Pearl is a Party cadre.

Bless the village.

I watched her grow up.

Hello

Coma and see us.

I leave first.

Coral!

Haven't seen you for ages!

Yes!

Come and visit when you have time!

Yes. Come and visit when you have time!

Birth control is the priority - the nation's policy

Praise the one-child family.

Please go back. Thank you, goodbye!

Come in, come in.

Use the main entrance.

Coral, please come in!

Auntie Zhong!

How nice! You're back!

Please come in!

Look, it's empty!

The basket is still here!

Have some sweet potato.

Have them while they're hot!

Here's a clean towel. Wash your face.

Thanks you!

Put on the slippers.

Do you get enough food these days?

I have more money than the County chief.

Coral, what should we do with this house?

Whatever you say, Uncle. You're the elder.

Alright, alright.

Let me know if you have problems.

It's a blessing when old people die. Don't feel bad about it.

"Dear sister, I'm back in our ancestral home.

Nothing's changed since we were kids.

Opening the door again, twenty years have past.

Now you and I are the only two left in the family.

Shouldn't we be able to sort things out together.

It makes me sad that

we only talk through lawyers.

Life hasn't been good to us in recent years.

But if we don't help each other,

noone else will.

It breaks mt heart,

if Mum, Dad and granny knew how we fight,

they'd be heart-broken too".

Thank you!

O.K.

Goodbye!

Goodbye!

Principal!

How are you?

You're back!

You're back!

Do your shoes up!

No lessons?

Principal, have you collected Qiang's award? Show us!

Find Qiang!

Don't play!

Here's the award. You should all follow his example.

Be careful with it.

Who's that? Don't fool around...

Pearl! It's me!

Coral!

When did you arrive?

Last night.

Last night?

A pity, I was away collecting a school prize.

My pupil was sixth

in the County maths competition.

What a bright boy!

He's Mr Zhong's son Qiang. Have you met him?

Look, here he comes now.

Why are you so obstinate?

Oh! It's you.

You know each other?

Yes, he's my professor!

Your professor? How?

He taught me that tangerines aren't as sweet as sugar cane.

Without "fat" there's no "thin", without bone there's no meat.

The best meat is on the bone.

I hear you are the principal.

A very important teacher!

Not that important!

What are you staring at, off to your lessons!

Beannie, your mother's back!

Have you ever seen him?

I saw him yesterday. No chance to speak.

Tsong, look!

Well, shake hands!

My hands are dirty.

Beannie, what kind of bird is that?

Look, what fun, the beak is so sharp!

These fish balls aren't so good, but the vegetables are fresh.

Don't add too much salt.

Need any help?

No!

No, let him do it. We'll go inside and talk.

Come, this will be just for us girls.

Beannie, go and help your father.

I would like to have a good look at her.

No, I'll help Dad. I like cooking.

Do sit!

Hang your coat up.

No thanks.

Have some tea.

Make yourself at home!

Drink a cup of home-brewed tea.

I like the way you've done your house.

Tsong works hard.

Your daughter's such a big girl.

Do I look old?

No, no, you're still as good looking.

You're just saying that. You're still young and pretty.

That's all make-up.

What are your plans while you're here. Can I help?

I've come to see what life is like here.

See for yourself. The air is good.

People living here are healthy.

You remind me of

the carefree old times.

When things got too much in Hong Kong,

I'd think "what's Pearl doing"?

What am I doing? Still eating chalk dust in our old school.

No, I just like to chat with you, over a drink

But we don't drink.

Oh, I didn't know you drink, Beannie!

Don't bother. I don't drink during the day. Next time.

Do you drink with friends a lot in Hong Kong?

Not real friends. In my circle, everybody's after something.

No intimate friends to talk to.

What about your sister?

I'd like to chew her up.

What's wrong?

Don't mention her. I came here to avoid her.

Time to eat!

Food, food!

Your husband really looks after you.

Alright, stop chewing up people.

Coral, eat up!

Don't give me anymore.

Come, a few slices more.

Enough, enough!

Eagle meat is good for you. Have another slice!

I meant to catch a fish, but I caught an eagle instead.

He's crazy.

When you were little you ate anything.

You must have tried the best "cuisine"?

Everything tastes good to a child.

I don't think this tastes very good.

Children shouldn't talk so much, just eat!

I was eating this on the journey. There's some left.

It's delicious. Really delicious.

It tastes good. Pearl, you try.

Coral, how much does it cost?

10 dollars for 3 packets.

What? The packaging alone must cost 3 dollars!

I thought I must take the children to Guangzhou. Open their eyes.

Afterall, I'm from this school too.

You want to take Beannie?

Yes, and all the senior class.

That will be expensive.

Did you help granny write her letters?

Dad helped carry her coffin.

Aren't you eating your dinner?

Have you been to your granny's grave?

Yes.

The whole village turned out for her funeral.

She didn't go alone.

Very sad she didn't know. Dad died 10 years before her.

But didn't you send her his photo last year?

My family is ill-fated.

You're different. You bring good fortune to your family.

Have a look. Does he bring good fortune to me?

Coral, look at mine too.

Dad, Old Wu from the next village was beaten up last night.

He's no man. Last year he stole my cow dung.

Mr Zhong!

Principal!

Mr Zhong! Coral has donated these children's magazines to the pupils.

She also wants to take them to Guangzhou.

Good! Open their eyes, have some fun.

And she's talking of scholarships

for going to university.

University? All of them? Who's going to work the fields?

If they went to university, we wouldn't need them in the fields.

Use machines to plough the fields.

Machines? Can machines feed geese?

Mr Zhong, you're always saying

the Zhong family were scholars?

That's ancient history.

If Qiang went, who will mind the livestock?

Who will live in my new house?

Qiang!

I asked Mr Zhong. He refused.

Why ask him?

He's head of the production brigade.

But why, it's not his money.

I just don't understand.

I'm sorry.

You'll understand in time.

I'm going.

Stay and talk to me tonight.

No!

You can't bear to be away from your husband?

Can't bear to be away?

Would you dare to sleep here tonight?

Why shouldn't I dare?

You're like a new bride.

Just like twenty years ago.

You really know how to handle him.

Men need handling properly.

How do you get your own way? Years ago he was the bossy one.

I often go to study meetings.

Aren't you afraid of losing him?

What? You're joking!

So, what's your man's name?

Man? No man, no husband either.

What do you have then?

Most boyfriends, who do this, and more then one.

Are you really like that?

Why not?

Don't you want a family, at your age?

What for? A bed and a kitchen are enough.

What about children?

Much longer and you'll be past it.

What's tha matter? Crying?

Nothing, let's go to sleep.

Miss Zhang, this letter is for you.

Thanks!

Something to drink?

Coca Cola!

It's fine.

I've just been to see if there was a letter from my son.

So I brought your letter for you.

Who's it from?

My sister.

That's nice of her, writing so soon.

Don't know what's up with my son. Still no letter.

Hope he hasn't had an accident.

Don't worry!

I'm used to worrying.

When they were small,

I worried about my job.

Later I worried about

their respect for me.

Since they went away, I worry about them.

School's over. Go home!

Have you fed the pig?

Can't you hear it squealing?

There were many leeches in the fields today.

Let's see, what's this?

You're obsessed by a piece of wrapping paper.

She obviously had quite an effect on you.

Coral? She's just...

Bosom friends, eh?

All three of us were.

O.K., I won't do it anymore.

Tired?

You rest. I'll go and make dinner.

I'll get the firewood.

The two Ho family great-grandfathers are back from Australia.

It's said they're twins, and over a hundred years old.

Beannie!

Going to bed without wating?

Aren't you feeling well?

Where did you get this?

I borrowed it from Coral.

You don't borrow books but this!

Making yourself up like a monkey. Wash it off!

Go!

Give it back!

Alright, you can eat first.

What kind of soup is it?

Shut up, please! Hello.

Don't hang up or you won't get a cent.

You dare! Can you help?

Get the lawyer

to sell the land immediately.

The longer it drags on, the less it's worth. Everybody loses.

I don't care. I want my share.

You've wasted all Dad's estate.

What estate?

If it hadn't been for the government purchase, there would be no money.

Your poor judgement. Swapping that field for a piece of wasteland.

In all that time, what have you ever done?

You only complained when times were hard.

You don't deserve a cent.

When we first went to Hong Kong,

Dad and I worked the fields in New Territories.

It was hard work raising you.

Dad's been dead for ten years. Who sent you abroad to study?

If you hadn't sent me,

I wouldn't be like this.

It's not my fault.

Your husband left you with these brats.

You've always been like this to me.

Because you've always been stupid.

I've got nothing else to say to you.

Bring me the cotton for the embroidery.

What colours do you want?

All of them!

"The moon makes shifting patterns

on the wall and the fence

on the bed....

on the curtain with the goose embroidery".

Oh sorry, we're measuring the tree.

Me too!

Hello great-grandfathers!

Hello!

You are the venerable great-grandfathers Han and Tang?

Yes. We are twins. He's older.

This tree hasn't changed in ninety years.

When were you two born?

The 18th year of Guangxu's reign.

We left when we were fifteeen.

That's right.

How old is this tree?

The elders told us it was ancient.

Hurry up!

I'm faster than you.

Qiang, wait for me.

I often came here when I was little.

We often came too when we were little.

Hurry up, hurry up.

Go and get the washing in!

Go!

What do you think of the space shuttles?

Can shuttles really

take people into space?

Yes.

Can we go too?

We can, the goose as well.

What happens if it breaks down?

No, it won't.

Yes, it will. Man-made things always break down.

Didn't the bus break down when you came?

The space shuttle on TV

didn't look as good as in your magazine.

Really?

A black ball of fire which disappeared qickly.

Not as nice as fireworks.

The colours you painted here are so bright. Better than for real!

You must be a famous artist in Hong Kong.

Qiang! Qiang! I've got so much to do

and you're playing!

Come down, quick, come down.

What's that?

A goose!

You think I'm a three-year-old and don't know about aeroplanes?

You don't know anything about space shuttles.

Who cares? Go sell the tangerines!

Tangerines?

You won't let Coral take us to Guangzhou!

If you don't let her, I won't.

You what!

I'll give it more thought. Off you go!

Go...

If you lie again, I won't come home.

If you don't get a good price, don't bother.

I'll help you.

It's dirty work.

Never mind.

You must be exhausted.

No!

I told you not to.

You're not as fit as you were.

Is it a hard life in Hong Kong?

Pearl's fitter than you.

Do the kids help with the harvest?

Yes.

Kids today are smarter than we were.

Yes.

I want to take them to Guangzhou.

I heard Mr Zhong wouldn't let you.

I can't convince him, you try.

If you can't I can't.

Uncle Zhong trusts you. You are honest.

Me honest?

After you sell these tangerines, you pay me.

You sell wholesale to me and still want 90 cents a catty!

I worked it out. This way you make 2 dollars and 50 cents.

Don't forget I won a maths award.

No umbrella?

Have you?

It's pouring.

Tsong changed a lot lately.

Even more docile?

No, he's not so honest.

That's good. If men are too honest, they're stupid.

You asked him to have a word with Mr Zhong?

Anything to do with the school

never interested him. He doesn't understand.

The rain's never going to stop.

Yes. Spring brings the rain.

If you don't leave now, you're stuck.

Please yourself. I know my way around here.

I didn't mean that. It's the rainy season.

No hurry,

I don't want to go back anyway.

Time to eat!

I'll see you home.

Take pictures of us when it's fine.

It's not easy getting them taken in the village.

We're here. Get off the bike!

Thank you!

Try this olive pit charcoal. Beannie brought it.

Thank you!

Have some tea.

Are you building a new house?

No, I'm making do with renting a place.

Our new house is nearly ready.

Two storeys, living room, a bathroom.

You two are blessed with good fortune.

My son sent this letter in English.

Can you help me?

From UCLA, he's bright!

He's my third child. The eldest works in Australia.

The second is married in Canada.

My third is the smartest. Went to UCLA last year.

Tiao, you also have good fortune.

Good fortune?

My wife ill for 8 years, bed-ridden.

The best doctors,

all sorts of medicine.

Still she passed away.

You're a good man.

You know those bamboo rafts?

Travel between here and Hong Kong is so easy.

We went to Australia. Much further.

Old tales have it

people sailed there by bamboo rafts.

Here we are, Coral.

Will it be O.K. here?

Yes!

A good background.

Good, Tsong. Comr over here!

It's just a picture, not an execution.

Sit properly.

Button your jacket.

Cheer up!

We're smiling. Press the button?

My turn...take one of me...

Look at the camera!

Why didn't you bring the award? Too much trouble?

No trouble, I forgot.

Finished.

Let's have a look.

You have to do that?

Isn't your camera the latest model in the world?

It's coming out...

I must get back to the fields.

Be back early for dinner!

Where's spring? Where's spring?

Uncle Zhong changed his mind.

He came to tell me. Thanks for your help.

He's the elder. If he says so you can take them.

What do you think?

It's so heavy. Doesn't Tsong help?

Don't always bring him into it.

You've been drinking bitter vinegar for twenty years!

It's you who's bitter!

Me, I'm pickled in vinegar. Even my flesh is bitter.

Does Tsong still want you all the time?

No!

Is he still as good to you?

Come down!

You've got everything, a husband, a daughter.

I'll be an old maid for life.

Can't you have children?

I've been pregnant twice.

Boy?

Girl?

Neuter?

You had abortions?

Why weren't you more careful?

First time, I was careless. I aborted it at three months.

It was terrible,

like killing a blood relative.

The second time, it was a different man.

At first I wanted to keep the child.

But I stopped loving him, I went to the same hospital.

Same bed, same doctor.

Oh Coral!

Look at those birds...

making their nests for their young.

One naughty boy can destroy it all.

You're alright. Good marriage, good husband.

A happy family.

Happy maybe? But sometimes it lacks spice.

Oh for a simple life.

They're so affectionate.

Married three years and still the same.

Any children?

I doubt if she can have any children.

She goes to town to see the doctor every week.

Tsong, why aren't you coming?

If it takes so long to wash your feet, sleep in the tub.

You're letting the mosquitoes in to bite me.

Stay out there, let them bite you!

Where did you get this? Beautiful material!

Only the clothes are beautiful? Silly.

If that's what you like, I'll sew it up to here.

No early school tomorrow?

What are you thinking?

About Coral. So sad. She's had two abortions already.

They were girls?

No, she didn't even have a husband.

Is she well off?

No.

The magazine is a flop.

Her business is broken, her sister is sueing her.

Her life is hard there.

What are you thinking?

Nothing.

No more thinking. Sleep, alright?

Enough? Have some more.

I'm full.

Eat up, Beannie!

I'll get the dessert. Keep Coral company.

Beannie, Beannie!

No more!

A little more!

Enough...

Beannie. Let you eat in the kitchen.

No, I want to eat out there.

Mum will tell you a story.

Wonderful, which story?

Once upon a time...

Coral, you had a sad life out there.

Pearl and I understand, don't be depressed.

Our door is always open to you.

You're always welcome here.

Our home is your home,

our daughter your daughter.

Mum, what's Dad doing?

Dad is telling Coral a story.

I can tell this story too.

Yes?

Our food is your food,

our clothes your clothes.

Our shoes are your shoes,

our bed your bed.

Where's Coral?

Principal?

Going home?

Tsong.

Look at this kite.

Like the ones we had when we were small.

Who made it?

What else have the kids got to play with?

Same things as we had.

How well Qiang treats the girls.

Girls are so petty. Always quarrelling.

You're unhappy in Hong Kong.

It's because...

You're too...straight-forward.

Leeches!

Leeches bitting you!

Come on!

What for?

Come with me!

Coral, forget it.

Tsong, free to come to town today?

Oh yes. I've fertilised the fields three times.

It's too early for planting. Goodbye!

We must be going!

Tsong.

Tsong.

Coral, Coral, forget it!

Try them on!

They're no use.

Can't wear these in the fields.

Don't have them then.

Shall I wrap them?

No...

Don't they fit?

Good fit.

Thanks!

Nearly boiled over. Drink it quick, it's got lots of sugar.

Drink it or the sugar is wasted.

I don't want it. You drink it!

But it's your medicine!

You don't drink it, all that sugar is wasted.

Careful! This new machine will break up like bean curd!

Pearl, find a good school

for Qiang in Guangzhou.

Teach district has regulations. It's not that easy.

If they refuse, we'll offer money.

Pearl, you don't care about Qiang.

I care more about Qiang than my own Beannie, right?

Why can't we offer money?

Go home, you go home.

Farming boys wearing socks?

Farming? Scholars!

My son's future is brighter than ours.

All our lifes we looked down.

My son look up.

Does it look good?

Who's in charge?

I am.

This boy took all the sugar cubes from the table.

You said we could have as much as we wanted!

Miss Zhang!

Miss Zhang, excuse me. The bill is 120 dollars.

I only have 20 dollars here.

I haven't asked for the bill yet.

But this class leader paid.

Yes, I paid.

What are you doing!

They're overcharging. 20 dollars is already too much.

100 dollars for a few glasses of water. They think we are country bumpkins?

Sorry. The boy doesn't understand.

I still want to order.

And add the sugar to my bill.

The sugar lumps don't matter.

Here's the money back.

Qiang!

Don't be scared of them. We'll write to the papers to criticise them!

It is too expensive.

Line up...quick...time to go to the hostel.

I want to go there too.

Stay and have a chat.

Go!

Why aren't you going?

I have money. Why can't I stay here?

What's the matter?

Don't mind him!

There're drinks in the fridge.

I should stay at the hostel. I'm worried about the children.

Have a bath and stop moaning.

A towel for you.

Aren't there any here?

I never trust hotel towels.

Shampoo.

What's going on?

Nothing, nothing!

Give me something to wear, my sweater's wet.

What are you looking at?

Hold the mirror!

When a woman passes thirty, time flies!

It's awful being over thirty!

You're right. Beannie already comes up to here. Soon, here.

I've got wrinkles up to here. Soon, here.

What's this ointment?

Did Tsong talk to you?

Feeling better now?

You put words in his mouth.

No!

You're so great!

Oh no, I'm not. If I may say so,

you should have more self-control.

Then things would be easier.

No self-control?

You said it yourself: "this wasn't going well, that wasn't..."

Did you repeat everything about me to Tsong?

He's only Tsong. Aren't we all bosom friends?

Weren't you two always bosom friends?

Don't get it wrong. I didn't come to be consoled by a man.

No man keeps me.

Every cent I have I earned.

No man picks me, I pick him!

What do you mean?

That Tsong picked me?

Let me tell you. We won the "happy family" award.

The brigade awarded us a hot water bottle. So what are you talking about?

What? Your life is so boring.

You use me for spice.

Who's using you? What spice?

What have you done to me?

Done your make-up. Let's take a picture.

No!

What? Losing your temper?

No!

Then let me take the picture!

Wow! Fantastic!

Look out Dolly Parton.

What Dolly Folly...

I'm no spice either. I'm going to the hostel.

I'm not staying here. I'm off.

What spice? You're too sensitive.

Qiang, what are you looking at. Get on the bus.

Quick!

The music is so loud.

Thirteen hours to go on the road. Impossible!

So noisy. Ask him to turn it off.

Comrade,

can you turn it down a bit?

Can you turn it off?

Don't! It's great. We had a good time in Guangzhou.

Let's have a good time going home.

Qiang!

Stop singing, Qiang.

Stop singing.

Everybody go to sleep. Close your eyes. Ignore him.

Can't do anything with him.

Hello! Lawyer Cheung.

If I sell the business, what do I live on?

She's squeezing me for such a small amount.

Even your own sister can do this.

To send me to prison? To make me jump off a building?

So many people ill-treat her and she does nothing.

She knows I won't harm her and she attacks me.

What are these?

...Looks like a pair of boots!

When did you buy them? I didn't know?

One afternoon just before spring.

Beannie, fetch some water!

What time in the afternoon?

Four o'clock!

Four o'clock you would have been in the fields.

Maybe it was ... three-thirty.

At three-thirty you would have just left home.

I can't remember.

Where did you get the money? Not from me!

I borrowed it.

Who from?

Tell me, I won't be cross.

Was it Coral?

Coral?...

I won't blame you.

Just possibly it was her.

Come on, we were all bosom friends.

A trip to town without me.

And no shoes for me?

Say something.

You think I don't know.

The day she arrived, you collected her on your bike.

Say something.

Speak Up!

Shame on you!

You think you can hide...

You're letting the mosquitoes bite me!

Tsong.

I'm not saying you're bad.

Yes, I'm bad. Divorce me, divorce me.

You'll frighten the child.

Who cares? Let the whole village hear. Divorce, divorce.

Tsong!

Even the pig's run away.

Beannie you stay home!

Pearl.

Looking for your pig?

I'm looking for Tsong.

Mr Zhong, Tsong wants a divorce!

Are you dreaming? What's up?

Coral bought him a pair of boots. I found out and he got mad.

All that fuss over a pair of boots? It's late. Go home!

Don't tell the whole village. I'll find him!

Will you educate him!

Don't worry.

Tsong...

He's back.

So's the pig.

Go home!

Beannie!

Mum!

Go back to bed!

Granny!

No more water...

Young girls shouldn't smoke.

Uncle Zhong, I saw granny.

I often see your granny.

And your father too.

Good people never really die.

For ten years,

I pretended father was alive by sending her painted pictures of him every year.

To spare her the pain of losing a son in her old age.

I've known that all along.

If you hadn't done so, she would have died ten years ago.

It's a goodbye then. Come back often. Hong Kong's so near.

Go, don't worry about us.

In another ten years, we'll still be here.

Is life monotonous for you?

At our age every day is an excitement.

Goodbye. Take care!

Keep trying, don't give in.

Tsong can't see you off. Now it's warm and he's planting.

I'll send more magazines.

The pupils will be very glad.

Thanks!

Look, the wild geese are returning!

It's going to rain.

No, it won't.

Sweet tangerines, sweet tangerines!

You're so busy. It'll probably be ten years

before we meet again.

I'll come back next year.

Take Tsong to Guangzhou for some fun while you're still young.

Or you'll turn into an old hag.

When I'm an old hag, you'll be an old hag too.

When that day comes, you'll have nothing to worry about!

"The moon makes shifting patterns

On the wall and the fence

On the bed....

On the curtain with the goose embroidery".
