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 brought him over. Unexpectedly, he fell asleep in my arms on the way. Let him sleep with your Yuan Yuan Xiao Xiao for a while. We can also rehearse!"
Fan Hua had no objection. Being a mother was not easy, especially for Zhang Jihong, who had to take care of two children alone.
"No problem, Mrs. Zhang, let's put him inside and let Aunt Chu help look after him for a while."
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 emerged from the bedroom, Zhao Xiaoyan said sarcastically, "Sister Fan is truly blessed. She even hired a nanny to look after her children, unlike the rest of us who all have our own families looking after them. You're truly unlucky! Your life is just like that of an ancient official's daughter! It's truly grand!"
Although the current literary revolution is over, everyone is still very sensitive to bureaucracy. The social status of a young lady from an official family is definitely not as high as that of a poor peasant. Zhao Xiaoyan's words are obviously intended to put a hat on Fan Hua!
Hearing this, Fan Hua smiled faintly and said, "Are you trying to put a smear on me, Sister Zhao? Leaders these days say women hold up half the sky. Are you saying it's wrong for me to go to university and contribute more to society? Or do you think a woman's only responsibility is to take care of her family's children? Besides, Aunt Chu and I have known each other for a long time and are like an elder to me. How can coming over to help me take care of the children be considered the behavior of a young lady from an official family?"
Zhao Xiaoyan always likes to speak out for the moment, but when she is really criticized, she is often speechless and doesn't know how to respond.
Seeing this, Zhang Jihong quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Hey, stop arguing about whether or not there's any money. Let's just hurry up and rehearse the show."
Fan Hua nodded in agreement, "Then let's go to the yard to rehearse, so as not to disturb the children's nap."
Zhang Jihong obviously had no objection, and after saying that, she left the room with Fan Hua. Seeing this, Zhao Xiaoyan, who was left behind, could only follow angrily.
She was so angry. Why could she never get what she wanted from Fan Hua? She felt so depressed that she was about to explode.
During the rehearsal in this mood, Zhao Xiaoyan didn't want to act with Fan Hua at all. She either forgot the lines, didn't coordinate the movements, or didn't express the emotions well enough.
Fan Hua knew that she was deliberately causing trouble, but she did not get angry. She just cooperated with a cold face. Her performance was only slightly better than Zhao Xiaoyan's. Even Zhang Jihong was affected by them and sang out of tune.
While building the wall and watching the others rehearse, Fan Youcheng finally couldn't help but speak up, "The one playing the military wife, you're not just reluctant to see your man go back to the army, you're clearly hoping he'll leave and never come back! Even a man like me could play the military wife better than you!"
Zhao Xiaoyan became even more furious upon hearing this and immediately asked, "What do you, a bricklayer, know?"
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 brother and sister 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 moment, 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 see Sister Fan? Why don't you come in?"
