Yu Chu was a little helpless, but in order to please her great-grandfather, she still took the gavel and turned around to ask, "By the way, Hong Fei, have I ever told you what my family does?"
Qin Hongfei looked at her and said, "Guess."
Yu Chu felt guilty, probably not: "Well, my family makes traditional music. Have you heard of chime music? I'll play one for you. What do you like to listen to?"
Qin Hongfei thought for a moment, "Will Yangjiang Yuequ know?"
Yu Chu: “…”
Great Grandpa was surprised and said happily, "Little Chuchu's classmate also knows Yangjiang Opera? Not bad, not bad. You young people are pursuing ease and have lost many traditional skills."
Qin Hongfei nodded slightly, "I've heard people playing it together before."
Grandpa Zeng nodded and said, "Oh, so, to be able to play Yangjiang music, this teacher's skills are already very high, and he is probably not an ordinary person."
Qin Hongfei nodded, which was unusual.
Heir to traditional culture.
...
...
Yu Chu blushed: "Change one, change one, how about the Three Variations of Plum Blossoms?"
Qin Hongfei nodded, "Okay." I can see that you don't know much, so I won't make things difficult for you.
Yu Chu took the mallet and started to play. Qin Hongfei didn't understand music, but she knew a few things about it through observation and listening. The Yu family's set of chimes had a wide range of sound, at least seven octaves, a level that ordinary chimes could not reach. They must be made of some special material.
After Yu Chu finished playing a piece of music, he asked happily, "How was it?"
Qin Hongfei nodded and said, "Great."
While he was praising her, there was a sudden squeak, and a very harsh sound! Yu Chu couldn't help but cover his ears in discomfort. Qin Hongfei looked towards the source of the sound, which was in a room on the second floor.
After the noise stopped, Yu Chu explained, "It must be that my great-aunt's instrument broke again..." She sounded distressed.
"Grandpa, I'll go take a look."
Great Grandpa was a little slow to react, which meant he had to explain it twice before nodding and saying, "Go ahead."
Yu Chu dragged Qin Hongfei to the main hall. Just then, a white-haired lady wearing retro glasses came out from the second floor. Although she didn't look old, she was actually around seventy or eighty years old. "Did I disturb you? Sorry."
Yu Chu ran up and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Aunt Zeng, is your guqin broken again?"
Yu Chu's mother also came over and said, "We asked a master to repair it last time, but it still doesn't work."
Great-aunt Zeng also seemed to be in a low mood. She returned to her room. There were many musical instruments in the spacious room. The guqin in the middle had seven strings on it, one of which was broken. The wood varnish had faded a lot, visibly, but the owner of the guqin was still using it, which showed that the owner had a lot of feelings for it.
While the others were discussing, Qin Hongfei couldn't help but take a few steps forward and gently stroked the strings. When she got closer, she found that two of the seven strings were broken, one was broken completely, and one was still barely holding. The remaining strings were also a little rusty. "Are these strings made of silk?"
I have a feeling, but I'm not sure.
The Yu family was a little surprised to see Qin Hongfei running to the piano without anyone noticing. A younger boy shouted, "Don't touch it. You can't afford to pay for it if you break it."
Yu Chu couldn't help but retort, "Cousin, Hong Fei 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 the first married girl in 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 tell the material. She nodded and said, "Yes, how did you tell that?"
Qin Hongfei said, "I read it in a book."
Yu Erqin said, "Then you must have read a wide range of books." Books related to guqin strings are very boring. If you don't have a wealth of reading knowledge, you won't be able to 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 an ancient method of making zither strings, which involved soaking silk in ancient medicinal wine, and going through many tedious processes. Later, this method was gradually lost, and it has disappeared now. No wonder it cannot be repaired well, because people don't want to change the strings, so they only maintain the most basic repairs, because if the strings are changed, this Gaoqiao will no longer be a Gaoqiao.
After leaving Yu's house, Yu Chu didn't bother beating around the bush and asked directly, "Hong Fei, you said my great-grandfather's legs..."
Qin Hongfei nodded to her, "Your great-grandfather 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 well-off and had bought a walker before, but it was not very good. It was inconvenient for the elderly to use, and it was very heavy! Old people don't have the strength to use it. After a few steps, they get tired and it's very cumbersome.
Qin Hongfei saw it and explained, "A device with navigation suitable for the middle-aged and elderly, as well as the blind. When it's made, I'll show it to you."
When Yu Chu heard this, he suddenly felt a little hopeful and nodded. The Yu family had a driver, so Yu's mother asked a driver to take her back to the Qin family.
Yu Chu returned to his home, rushed over, took his great-grandfather's hand and said happily, "Great-grandfather, 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 members of the Yu family heard this, the boy who had previously scolded Qin Hongfei couldn't help but say, "Her family sells rehabilitation equipment, right?"
Yu Chu retorted, "No, Hong Fei's house..." She didn't know what she did, but she knew Qin Wanwan. At least she didn't sell rehabilitation equipment.
Yu Chong curled his lips 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 on the shoulder and said, "Say less."
Yu Erqin said slowly, "Yu Chu, your classmate has very good grades in school, right?"
Yu Chu nodded vigorously. "She's great. The teachers think highly of her. The senior teachers also like her very much."
Yu Erqin said, "The technique of making silk strings 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 bad, it may be the child's pure heart. If it's not good, don't criticize him."
Everyone in the Yu family agreed.
I won't discourage you. It's rare that I have classmates I can get along with, so I definitely won't discourage you.
…
…
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 also a small path, a very small one, just enough for one person to pass through. The skills of this road repairman were really amazing.
Qin Hongfei didn't explain to him that this path was reserved for their own people.
Back in the 1990s, she became rich through scientific research
