Hsiao Quotes in Hao xiao zi (1986)

Ah Kuo: [after Grandma has tucked him and his brothers in for the night] Grandma?

Grandma: [turns around with a smile] Yes?

Ah Kuo: Wait a minute, can we ask you something?

Fatty: Do you miss Grandpa?

Grandma: [thinks for a moment, then has a small frown on her face] No, I don't miss him.

Fatty: [dismayed] But Grandpa misses you alot.

Hsiao: Yeah. He drinks every night and looks at your photo. He always looks sad and lonely. Poor Grandpa... he really misses you.

[the boys nod their heads in a agreement]

Grandma: [she's moved by this, but still shows no regret] Oh foo! It serves him right, he's stubborn and bad tempered. If he were a bit more tolerant we wouldn't be separated now.

Fatty: Perhaps we can get Grandpa to stay here with us.

Grandma: [shakes head with dismay] He's too set in his ways, nothing will make him budge. If he were just a bit more considerate, I wouldn't have left with your sister Ching-Ching.
