Chapter 3188 Miss Zhao's Family
Seeing everyone's interest, Chengcheng patiently explained, "I was reading with Dudu in the reading area before, and she told me that although Mom can't speak, she has to relay a lot of things at home—asking about prices for Mom when she goes to the supermarket, and communicating with the deliveryman when he comes to the door."
Everyone looked at Dudu, who nodded. Chengcheng was right; that's exactly how she helped her parents at home.
Xiaobai was already captivated by Chengcheng's story and anxiously scratched her head: "Dudu is the only one in the family who can listen and talk, and she also has her own acting dream. The core of this story is so touching! Chengcheng, please continue."
Aside from telling stories to the children every night, Chengcheng hasn't spoken this much in a long time.
She showed no impatience whatsoever in the face of everyone's interest.
“I’m thinking, what will happen to Mom and Dad if Dudu leaves this home one day to pursue her dreams? Without her as a bridge between the family and the outside world, will Mom and Dad be able to live well? Will they be very unaccustomed to it?”
Dudu's eyes widened, and she quickly said, "No, no, my mom and dad can talk to a lot of people. They have many friends, both at work and in their daily lives."
Suddenly she felt a small hand pressing down on her hand; it was a Xiwa doll.
The doll smiled and said to her, "Don't rush, Dudu, let Chengcheng continue."
Chengcheng nodded and continued, "That's why I say this is Dudu's story, but it's not entirely Dudu's story. Dudu's parents can connect well with society, but other families may not be able to. What if they can't? What would their attitude be towards Dudu pursuing her dreams? Would they support her? Would they understand? Would they agree?"
Xiao Bai seemed to be deep in thought, his eyes gradually brightening: "This is the contradiction between family dependence and personal dreams."
Liu Liu was awakened and excitedly began to sing: "On one side is friendship, on the other is love, I'm caught between the two, making things difficult for myself..."
A small hand covered her mouth, and a soft voice sounded behind Liuliu: "Stop singing, this isn't friendship or love, it's family."
"My lady, please don't get agitated. Sit down and listen to us."
Little White beckons, calling to its pet, "Come sit down quickly, don't interrupt!"
For the sake of the script, Liu Liu reluctantly tolerated Xiao Bai's audacity.
Seeing that everyone had given their opinions and then fell silent, only looking at her, Chengcheng continued, "There are also family members who can't hear, who don't understand Dudu's love for acting, nor do they know about her inner struggles. There is a communication barrier between them."
Xi'er exclaimed, "Chengcheng, you know so much!"
Little White asked Robin to bring him paper and pen, and he was already taking notes: "I think this story is great and has a lot of potential. Let's continue to improve it."
Liu Liu raised her hand, "I have a suggestion, could we change Dudu's acting in the story to singing?"
"cannot!!"
Everyone spoke in unison and showed great tacit understanding on this point.
Seeing this, Liuliu chuckled twice and stopped talking.
Xiaomi suggested, "Actually, we could change the acting to something else, like archery or skateboarding. Isn't Dudu very good at both of those sports?"
Liu Liu laughed: "It could also be wrestling, I'm super good at wrestling."
Xi'er said, "But Liuliu, you can't shoot arrows or skateboard, and you always get beaten up when you fall. Can you act well?"
Liuliu waved her hand and remained silent, not wanting to talk to Xiwawa any longer; it was too hurtful.
However, she had to admit that Xiwawa was right. If it were really changed to archery, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to do it well. Although you can take shortcuts when filming, it wouldn't be realistic.
Acting is more suitable for me.
Xiaomi suddenly said, "Could we invite Xiaozhou over as well and hear his opinion?"
"I'll go get him!" Robin jumped up, excited, and ran to call Xiaozhou over.
She sensed that her aunt and the others were planning something big, and she was thrilled to be able to participate.
But after running a couple of steps, she realized she couldn't run anymore; it turned out that Dudu was holding her little shoulder.
“You don’t need to go, I will go,” Dudu said. “I’ll ask Xiaozhou’s opinion first. We can’t hurt Xiaozhou because of recklessness.”
She has a special understanding of how sensitive people with disabilities are.
“Dudu is right. Dudu should go ask. If it doesn’t work, then forget it,” Xiaomi said.
Dudu left, and soon after, she brought Xiaozhou with her.
Xiao Zhou readily agreed to Dudu's request. He faced his physical defect with composure and, in order to help Xiaobai and the others, he opened up about his inner world without reservation.
Xiaobai, Xier, and Liuliu were all taking notes at lightning speed.
In the following days, the activity room of Little Red Horse Academy became a "scriptwriting base".
Xiaobai is responsible for sorting out the core conflict: Dudu wants to participate in the city-wide children's drama competition, but hesitates because she has to take care of her mother and deal with household chores. She is afraid that her mother will be lonely, and she is also afraid of missing out on her dream.
Xi'er helped revise the dialogue, adding details of Dudu helping her mother translate, such as "Mom pointed to the yarn and gestured, and Dudu said to the customer, 'This is pure wool, Mom knitted it for three days.'"
Xiaomi suggested adding a scene where "Mom secretly follows Dudu to school and watches her rehearse through the window";
Chengcheng conceived a play within a play—"Starlight Little Warriors," which Dudu would act in, with a plot about "warriors protecting their families," echoing Dudu's real-life situation.
Liuliu put in a lot of effort, spending every day with Dudu, learning sign language from her, and even going home with Dudu several times after school to see how Dudu communicates with her mother in sign language, how she patiently replies to her mother's voice messages, how she helps her mother with housework, and how she accompanies her parents to dinner.
A few days later, Xiaobai asked Liuliu what sign language she had learned so she could test her. Liuliu only knew a few simple ones, such as "thank you," "good luck," and "I miss you."
Xiaobai and Chengcheng strung these scattered plots together into a complete script, and even named the script "Miss Zhao's Family".
"Go find Boss Zhang! Let him see our script, ho ho ho, he'll be absolutely amazed!!"
Xiao Bai held up the script and made the suggestion, which everyone agreed to.
Old Zhang had noticed what Xiao Bai had been busy with these past few days and asked him, but Xiao Bai kept it a secret, acting all mysterious.
"Auntie! Uncle is chatting with the headmistress. Let's go find him."
Robin had already found out in advance that everyone had found Zhang Tan in the principal's office on the second floor.
"Read the script? The one you wrote?"
Zhang Tan was very interested and only then realized that they had been working on the script these past two days.
"Hehehe, here you go, take a good look and give me some advice."
Xiao Bai, feeling smug, handed him the script.
Zhang Tan carefully flipped through the script, but after only a couple of glances, he looked up in surprise and asked, "Miss Zhao and her family? Miss Zhao? Dudu?"
Dudu laughed heartily.
Liuliu nodded: "That's right, it's Dudu. We're writing Dudu's story."
Now not only Zhang Tan was interested, but even Aunt Huang was intrigued and wanted to know what kind of story it was. She believed that Old Li would be even more interested.
"I need to take a good look."
Zhang Tan buried his head in the script, while Xiao Bai and the others surrounded him. It would be a lie to say they weren't nervous; they were all clenching their fists with tension.
A dozen minutes later, Zhang Tan closed the script and said with a smile, "The story is excellent, perfectly capturing the core of 'Miss Zhao's Family'—the balance between love and sacrifice, dreams and family. But there are three details we can change to make them more touching and closer to the 'warmth in the silent world'."
