Fan Hua couldn't help but be shocked by what the woman said just now. Could she really see something? !
Before Fan Hua could come back to her senses, Fan Youcheng said excitedly, "Sister, don't tell me, although that woman just now looked fierce, she seemed to be really capable. After she said that, I didn't feel scared at all in this house. When I pass by the carpenter later, I will ask him to help make a new bed as soon as possible. After it is finished, I will move in immediately. This way it will be much more convenient to find you in the future!"
Fan Hua nodded, "He is indeed a capable person!"
She always thought these were too superstitious, but the words the woman left before she left made her believe it!
It was already noon after all this. Fan Hua felt a little tired when he thought about having to rehearse the program in the afternoon to deal with the two military wives. He hurriedly urged Fan Youcheng to go to the military family compound. When they passed by the carpenter's house, they went in to order a new bed and asked about the desk and storage cabinet that Zhao Yilu had customized two days ago.
It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon when the two arrived at the military family compound.
Zhao Yilu hadn't finished his lunch break yet. When he saw Fan Hua and the others coming back, he hurried over to greet them, "Have you eaten?"
Fan Hua shook her head. "Not yet. I just finished my work. I promised to rehearse the Lantern Festival program with Captain Jiang's wife and Captain Chen's wife in the afternoon, so I hurried back."
"Well, then you guys sit down and rest for a while, I'll go cook dumplings for you." Zhao Yilu said and went into the kitchen.
After washing her hands, Fan Hua went into the kitchen and hugged Zhao Yilu's waist from behind, "Are you still making dumplings? Why don't you take a break at noon when you only have so much time?"
Zhao Yilu held Fan Hua's hand with his left hand and stirred the dumplings in the pot with his right hand, saying casually, "I guessed that you might be too busy to eat out today, so I let Yuanxiao and his sister play in the living room for a while at noon. Aunt Chu and I watched them while we made some dumplings. It didn't take long."
Fan Hua buried her head in Zhao Yilu's broad back, "Yilu, how can you be so considerate!"
Zhao Yilu turned around and pinched Fan Hua's small upturned nose, and said softly, "Bring an aluminum basin over, it's almost cooked."
Upon hearing this, Fan Hua let go of Zhao Yilu and obediently took a small basin from the side. Zhao Yilu took the plump dumplings out of the pot and put them into the basin.
Just as Fan Hua was about to carry the aluminum basin, Zhao Yilu stopped her. "It's too hot. Go get the bowl and vinegar, I'll carry it!" Then she quickly walked out of the kitchen holding the edge of the aluminum basin.
With a smile in her eyes, Fan Hua took the bowl, chopsticks and vinegar and followed him out.
After finishing all these, it was almost time for Zhao Yilu to go to the army. He packed up neatly, asked Fan Hua for a dumpling with her chopsticks, and then left with a smile.
Fan Youcheng standing by was simply unable to bear to watch. His brother-in-law was good in every way except that he was too attached to his sister. Sometimes he even felt annoyed!
After lunch, Fan Youcheng rested for a while and then continued to help build the wall.
Fan Hua went back to the bedroom to check on the two children who had just fallen asleep. She had been busy with many things these days and had very little time to spend with her children, which made her feel a little guilty.
She gently pulled the two children's hands, put them close to her face, kissed the two children's little feet, and finally tucked in the quilts for them. Then she whispered to Aunt Chu that she had to go out and busy herself.
Not long after, Zhang Jihong and Zhao Xiaoyan came to rehearse with her.
Zhang Jihong was still holding the little Jiang Hu who had just fallen asleep in her arms, "Sister Fan, I thought it was time for my Jiang Hu to take a nap, so I just brought him over. Unexpectedly, he fell asleep in my arms on the way. Let him sleep with your Yuan Yuan Xiao Xiao, so we can rehearse!"
Of course Fan Hua had no objection. Being a mother is not easy, especially for Zhang Jihong who had to raise two children alone.
"No problem, Sister Zhang, put him in the house and let Aunt Chu help take care of him."
After saying that, Fan Hua led Zhang Jihong into Aunt Chu's room and let the three cute little kids lie side by side.
After Fan Hua and Zhang Jihong came out of the bedroom, Zhao Xiaoyan said in a sarcastic tone, "Sister Fan is so lucky. She even hired an aunt to look after her children. Unlike us, all of us have to look after our children at home. It's really the same person with different fates. Your life is like that of an ancient official lady! It's really grand!"
Although the Wenhui Revolution is over now, everyone is still very sensitive to bureaucracy. The social status of a daughter of an official family is definitely not as high as that of a poor peasant. Zhao Xiaoyan's words are obviously intended to put a label on Fan Hua!
Hearing this, Fan Hua smiled and said, "Are you trying to put a accusation on me, Sister Zhao? Nowadays, leaders say that women hold up half the sky. Do you mean that it is wrong for me to go to college and make more contributions to society? Or do you think that the only responsibility of women is to take care of children at home? Moreover, Aunt Chu and I have known each other for a long time. She is like an elder to me. How can coming here to help me take care of the children be regarded as the behavior of a young lady from an official family as you said?"
Zhao Xiaoyan always likes to show off her quick words, but when she is really criticized, she is often speechless and doesn't know how to respond.
Zhang Jihong saw this and quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Hey, the two of you stop arguing about these trivial things, and just hurry up and rehearse the program."
Fan Hua nodded in agreement, "Then let's go to the yard to rehearse, so as not to disturb the children's nap."
Of course Zhang Jihong had no objection, and after saying that, she left the house with Fan Hua. Seeing this, Zhao Xiaoyan, who stayed behind, had no choice but to follow angrily.
She was so angry. Why could she never get anything good from Fan Hua? She felt so frustrated that she was about to explode.
Zhao Xiaoyan, who was rehearsing in this mood, didn't want to act with Fan Hua at all. She either forgot the lines, didn't coordinate her movements, or didn't express her emotions well enough.
Fan Hua knew that she was deliberately making trouble, but she couldn't get angry. She just cooperated with him with a cold face. Her performance was just a little better than Zhao Xiaoyan's. Even Zhang Jihong was affected by them and sang out of tune.
Fan Youcheng, who was building a wall while watching the rehearsal, finally couldn't help but speak up, "The sister-in-law who plays the role of a military wife, you are not reluctant to let your man go back to the army, you are clearly hoping that he will leave and never come back! Even if I, a man, play the role of a military wife, I can act better than you!"
Zhao Xiaoyan got even angrier when she heard this, and she immediately asked, "What do you know as a bricklayer?"
Just as Fan Youcheng was about to refute again, he was stopped by Fan Hua. Fan Hua didn't want Fan Youcheng and Zhao Xiaoyan to quarrel in the yard today. If it got out, people would think that the two siblings were teaming up to bully Zhao Xiaoyan!
Seeing that his sister winked at him, Fan Youcheng ignored Zhao Xiaoyan, snorted coldly, and continued to help build the wall.
But it was obvious that the atmosphere had reached a freezing point, and Zhang Jihong had no choice but to suspend the rehearsal to allow everyone to adjust their mood.
At this time, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Sister Zhou Xue, what are you doing standing at the door? Are you here to look for Sister Fan? Why don't you go in?"
