Glaze of Love Episode 4

Memories

The class gives an interesting assignment. Locals have brought in pottery for repairs and their grades will be determined on customer satisfaction. The pranksters are unhappy that their project is a modern teapot from a cranky old lady. When she comes to pick it up and is very unhappy, they gladly let Xu Xiao take over. At dinner Xu Xiao is very quiet while his step dad tries to give him a new phone. He has lived off his salary and refused to spend any of the money they have given him. His mom means well, but she is very angry about her first husband. She is resentful her son wants to follow in his footsteps and is demanding he change to a different major since he is so capable. He excuses himself from the table and works on the teapot. For the second time she is very unhappy tho the repair looked beautifully done. Xu Xiao figured out what was missing. Ms Wu’s father’s signature on the bottom. She remembers him carving his name there and the memories overwhelm her. For once it is bittersweet tears and fond memories rather than anger. Xiao Cen strikes a chord with him when walking home. She ponders about how not being forgotten is so important. This is why Xu Xiao wants to do so well. He wants to honor his father and do well in the same trade. The only thing missing from this episode was letting us see the repaired item that they originally were chosen to do before the teapot. I know it turned out well, but I wanted to see what it was supposed to look like.
