How could Fan Hua not guess what Zhao Xiaoyan was thinking? This person definitely didn't want her to be well.
Although Fan Hua didn't want to have any dispute with Zhao Xiaoyan as soon as she arrived at the family compound and get a bad reputation for having a bad temper, she also didn't want Zhao Xiaoyan to be too arrogant.
So Fan Hua smiled and said, "Sister Zhao, look at what you said. People who don't know would think there's something going on between me and my own brother. If this gets out, I'm going to lose my reputation. Sister Zhao, don't say such things anymore!"
Zhao Xiaoyan knew she was in the wrong when she heard what Fan Hua said. She coughed and said, "Aren't you from the countryside in the north? Why did your brother come with you?"
"Sister Zhao, is there any rule that says our military wives' family members cannot appear in Yangcheng?" Fan Hua still had a decent smile on her face.
Fan Youcheng, who was building a wall, immediately said, "That's right. What's wrong with me coming to Yangcheng to help my sister build a wall? I don't live in your military family compound, so is this not okay?"
Zhao Xiaoyan's face was filled with embarrassment, and she didn't know how to respond to the questions asked by Fan Hua and Fan Youcheng.
Zhang Jihong saw that the atmosphere was not right and quickly stepped out to mediate. "Sister Fan, Xiaoyan was just a little too straightforward. She didn't mean any other thing. Let's go into the house and discuss the Lantern Festival performance!"
When Fan Hua saw Zhang Jihong speaking, she immediately put on a gentle smile, "Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhao, come in and sit down!"
After entering the room, Zhang Jihong spoke directly, "Sister Fan, Xiaoyan and I have also talked about it. I prefer that the three of us just sing a song together. After all, there is only one week of rehearsal time left, and other things are not easy to practice. But Sister Xiaoyan doesn't like singing, and she would rather the three of us act out a story together, so we came to you to see what you think. In the end, we must have the minority obey the majority!"
Fan Hua saw that both of them were expecting her answer. This was obviously kicking the ball to her, meaning that she had to choose between singing and acting in a sitcom!
No matter which one she chooses, she will offend the other. Even though she doesn't like Zhao Xiaoyan, she doesn't want to offend her directly at this moment. Otherwise, with her mouth, the whole military family compound might spread rumors that she is trying to curry favor with the leader's wife tomorrow.
Fan Hua chuckled and said easily, "It's very simple. Then we can just perform a stage play. We will perform the story first, and then sing a song to enhance the plot at the end. In this way, we can perform a situational drama and sing at the same time. We can do what we are good at."
The two of them were stunned when they heard this. How could this be possible? But their eyes lit up and they waited expectantly for Fan Hua to continue.
Fan Hua, who watches the Spring Festival Gala every year, has a lot of things in her mind and can come up with ideas just by thinking about it.
So he talked freely: "Since it is a performance in the army, we can focus on the sadness of separation between military wives and soldiers, and tell the story of a military wife bidding farewell to her husband returning to the army. Sister Zhao can play the female lead in the story! At the end of the story, Sister Zhang will come out to lead the singing of a song. As for the song... I have already thought of it. I happened to hear a song in my hometown before, which is very suitable for this theme."
When the two heard that one could be the lead actor and the other could be the lead singer, they were very satisfied and nodded in unison, "Let's do as you say!"
Fan Hua naturally took on the job of playing the role of a soldier and singing backup.
The few of them discussed the details again, and Fan Hua wrote the storyline without having to think too much. In this era, there cannot be too bloody and bizarre plots, and those that are too funny will be considered not serious, so taking the sensational route is definitely a decision that will not go wrong.
So Fan Hua came up with this plot: a military wife who had just given birth to a baby, holding her baby who was only a few months old, went to the station to see off her husband who was about to return to the army.
The soldier kept telling her reluctantly, and his wife smiled bravely, telling her husband to go and defend the country, and she would take good care of the family in the rear. The two of them were emotionally struggling on the platform, and finally the train slowly drove out of the platform, and both the wife and the soldier burst into tears...
At this time, the song adapted by Fan Hua based on "Green Flower in the Army" was sung, bringing the stage atmosphere to a climax.
After listening to Fan Hua's story, Zhang Jihong and Zhao Xiaoyan both thought that the plot was very good and even couldn't help but feel a little sad.
They all brought their children to join the army after their husbands were promoted. Fan Hua's story immediately brought back their memories of when they stayed at home waiting for their husbands to return. They thought this stage play was so well written!
The atmosphere among the three of them was very harmonious afterwards. Zhang Jihong and Zhao Xiaoyan sat quietly on the side waiting for Fan Hua to write the detailed lines and lyrics for them to see.
In less than an hour, Fan Hua had roughly arranged the overall content of the stage play.
After getting the script and lyrics, even Zhao Xiaoyan, who disliked Fan Hua, couldn't help but sigh, she is indeed a college student, with such a great ability to speak eloquently, there might be no one else like her in the entire compound!
After deciding on the lines and lyrics, Fan Hua taught Zhang Jihong the tune of the song several times before saying, "Sisters-in-law, it's getting late. Let's leave it at that for today! You should familiarize yourself with the lyrics and lines first. I have something to do tomorrow morning. How about we start the formal rehearsal tomorrow afternoon?"
Neither of them had any objections. They had now silently reached a consensus that Fan Hua was the director of this performance, and it would be right to follow Fan Hua's arrangements!
After the two left, Fan Hua went straight to the kitchen. She wanted to cook something for Fan Youcheng as soon as possible before it got dark, otherwise it would be difficult to walk on the road after dark.
Fan Hua quickly cooked a pot of vegetable porridge, fried an egg, and finally put some of the sour and crispy radishes she brought from Beijing City on the plate. After everything was ready, she called Fan Youcheng to wash his hands and eat.
After an afternoon of hard work, Fan Youcheng has built the two small houses to almost half a person's height. At this rate, he believes that the roof will be completed in another three or four days.
Fan Hua never hesitated to praise him. She smiled and said, "Brother, you are amazing. You have built such a high wall in just one afternoon. I think you can make money even if you don't open a photo studio to help people build walls. You know that? You are much better than you think!"
Fan Youcheng felt a little embarrassed by Fan Hua's praise. He drank his porridge while laughing. Ever since he severed ties with his family, he felt that his life was becoming more and more interesting. He gradually found the value of life in his sister's repeated affirmation. Now he felt as if he had endless energy!
Seeing that the porridge in Fan Youcheng's bowl was almost empty, Fan Hua helped to get another bowl. "Brother, eat more. You won't have to eat when you go back home tonight. After you are full, you can ride back early. By the way, do you know the way now?"
Fan Youcheng nodded quickly, "I know, I know! Sister, don't worry!"
"Well, then, before ten o'clock tomorrow, go meet me in front of the dormitory building of the textile factory. We will go through the formalities together. After the formalities are completed, you can come back in the afternoon to continue helping me build the wall."
Fan Youcheng had just finished drinking his porridge. He wiped his mouth and immediately said, "Sister, I'll come pick you up tomorrow. Don't take the bus by yourself. I'll rush to you in the morning. If I get there early, I'll help you build the wall for a while, and then I'll take you to the dormitory building of the textile factory!"
Fan Hua smiled and did not refuse. Feelings are mutual. Fan Hua also felt Fan Youcheng's sincerity at this time. It was worth it for her to worry about him so much. In the future, she would have a brother who would take care of her. Of course, she would be more than happy!
