Yu Chu was a little helpless, but in order to make Grandpa Zeng happy, she still took the gavel and turned around to ask, "By the way, Hongfei, have I ever told you what my family does?"
Qin Hongfei looked at her and said, "Guess." Yu
Chu felt guilty and thought, "Well, my family makes traditional music. Have you heard of chimes playing music? I'll play one for you. What do you like?"
Qin Hongfei thought for a moment and said, "Do you know Yangjiang Yuequ?"
Yu Chu: "..."
Grandpa Zeng was surprised and said happily, "Little Chuchu's classmate also knows Yangjiang Opera? Not bad, not bad, you young people have lost many traditional skills in pursuit of ease."
Qin Hongfei nodded slightly, "I've heard people playing it before."
Grandpa Zeng nodded: "Oh, so, to be able to play Yangjiang Opera, the teacher's skills are already very high, probably not an ordinary person."
Qin Hongfei nodded, it's not ordinary.
The inheritor of traditional culture.
Yu Chu blushed: "Change one, change one, how about Plum Blossom Three Variations?"
Qin Hongfei nodded, "Okay." I can see that you don't know much, so I won't embarrass you.
Yu Chu took the mallet and started playing. Qin Hongfei didn't know about music, but she knew something about it. The chimes of the Yu family had a wide range of sound, at least seven octaves, which was impossible for ordinary chimes to achieve. They must be made of some special materials.
After Yu Chu finished playing a piece of music, he asked happily, "How is it?"
Qin Hongfei nodded and said, "Great."
Just as she was praising, there was a squeak and a very harsh sound! Yu Chu covered his ears in discomfort. Qin Hongfei looked at the source of the sound and found it was in a room on the second floor.
When the sound stopped, Yu Chu explained, "It should be my great-aunt's instrument that broke again..." She said with a distressed tone.
"Grandpa Zeng, I'll go take a look."
Grandpa Zeng's reaction was two beats slow, which was equivalent to Chu explaining it twice, before he nodded, "Go ahead."
Yu Chu dragged Qin Hongfei to the main hall. At that moment, a lady with gray hair and wearing retro glasses came out from the second floor. Although her face did not look old, her actual age was around seventy or eighty. "Did I disturb you? Sorry."
Yu Chu ran up, "It's okay, it's okay, Aunt Zeng. , your guqin is broken again?"
Yu Chu's mother also came over, "Last time I asked a master to repair it, but it still doesn't work."
Aunt Zeng also seemed a little depressed. She returned to her room. There were many musical instruments in the spacious room. There were seven strings on the guqin in the middle, one of which was broken. The wood paint had faded a lot, but it was still being used. It can be seen that the owner of the guqin has a lot of feelings for it. While
others were discussing, Qin Hongfei couldn't help but step forward a few steps and gently stroked the strings. When she got closer, she found that two of the seven strings were broken, one was broken more completely, and one was still barely maintained. The remaining strings were also a little rusty. "Are these strings silk?" She
had a feeling, but was not sure.
The Yu family was a little surprised to see Qin Hongfei running to the guqin when they were not paying attention. A younger boy shouted, "Don't touch it. You can't afford to pay for it if you damage it."
Yu Chu couldn't help but retort, "Cousin, Hongfei is not that kind of person."
Qin Hongfei didn't care, but looked at the great-aunt of the Yu family curiously. The great-aunt was a married woman of the Yu family, but after her husband left, she was taken back to her parents' home and never remarried. Her name was Yu Erqin.
Yu Erqin didn't expect Qin Hongfei to be able to see the material. She nodded and said, "Yes, how did you see it?"
Qin Hongfei said, "I read it in a book."
Yu Erqin said, "Then you must have read a lot of books." Books related to guqin strings are very boring. If you don't have a wealth of reading knowledge, you can't read them. It's a pity for my guqin. I guess I really have to retire this time.
Qin Hongfei didn't say much.
There was a method of making zither strings in ancient times, where silkworm silk was soaked in ancient medicinal wine, and it went through many tedious processes. Later, this method was gradually lost, and now it has disappeared. No wonder it couldn't be repaired well. It was because they didn't want to change the strings, so they only maintained the most basic repairs. Because if the strings were changed, this Gaoqiao would no longer be a Gaoqiao.
After leaving Yu's house, Yu Chu was too lazy to beat around the bush and asked directly, "Hongfei, you said my Grandpa Zeng's legs..."
Qin Hongfei nodded to her, "Your Grandpa Zeng is in good health and should be able to walk with a walker."
Yu Chu, "Walker?" She was a little disappointed, because the Yu family was not badly off, and they had bought a walker, but it was not very good. It was inconvenient for the elderly to use, and secondly, it was very heavy! Old people don't have that much strength to use. They get tired after just a few steps.
Qin Hongfei saw it and explained, "I'll show you a navigation device suitable for middle-aged and elderly people and blind people when it's made." Yu Chu heard it
and immediately felt a little hopeful. He nodded. Yu's family had a driver, so Yu's mother found a driver to take her back to Qin's house.
Yu Chu returned to his home, rushed over, took his great-grandfather's hand and said happily, "Grandfather Zeng, Hong Fei said that you are in good health and can walk with a walker. When she makes one, you can use it and walk."
When the other people in the Yu family heard it, the boy who had scolded Qin Hong Fei before couldn't help but say, "Her family sells rehabilitation equipment."
Yu Chu retorted, "No, Hong Fei's family..." She didn't know what she did, but she knew Qin Wanwan. At least they didn't sell rehabilitation equipment.
Yu Chong pouted and said, "Don't be fooled. Grandpa has bought all kinds of walkers. It's just a waste of money."
Yu Chong's mother couldn't help but pat him, "Say less."
Yu Erqin said slowly, "Yu Chu, your classmate's grades in school are very good, right?"
Yu Chu nodded vigorously, "Very good, the teacher thinks highly of her, and the senior three teacher also likes her."
Yu Erqin said, "The technique of making strings with silk has been lost for a long time. If you don't read a lot of books, you won't know it. Children who can read can't be too bad. Whether the walker is good or not, it may be the child's pure heart. If it's not good, don't discourage him."
The Yu family members all agreed.
No, it's rare for Yu Chu to have classmates who can play with him, so he definitely won't be discouraged.
The driver of the Yu family sent Qin Hongfei back. When they arrived at the small road, they found that the road was being dug, making it difficult for the car to enter. "Hey, why is this road dug like this..." There were potholes on both sides, and there was a small path left, a very small one, big enough for one person to pass through. The skills of this road repairman were really amazing.
