Grandpa Chu, sitting in the back seat with the television in hand, was pleasantly surprised, "This child has a very good voice."
[A book-reading app recommended to me by a friend I've known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It's damn good! I use it to read aloud and listen to books while driving or before bed to pass the time. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu]
Gu Wei said with a self-praising tone, "His voice is indeed very good. He has even performed on stage when the school has events."
A light shone in Old Master Chu's cloudy eyes. "His pitch is good too. He's a promising singer!"
Gu Hongjie was naturally pleased to be praised, and turned around to ask humbly, "Grandpa Chu, what does 'pitch accuracy' mean? Does it mean the key, or not being out of tune?"
"Pitch accuracy refers to whether the pitch produced in singing and instrumental performance matches the pitch of a fixed scale. Simply put, good pitch means you have a good ear for music and won't be too out of tune..."
When Grandpa Chu started talking about these things, it was as if he had opened a floodgate of words.
Gu Hongjie was young and didn't think too much about it.
Gu Wei seemed to be deep in thought.
When they arrived at the residential compound, Gu Wei first helped the elderly man out of the car, and then picked up the television.
Gu Hongjie supported Old Master Chu's other arm.
Their combination, along with a television set that many households didn't even own, immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Oh my god, I bought a TV!"
"Wait a minute, this doesn't look new, it seems..."
"This is a discarded TV that a relative bought when they got a new color TV?"
"..."
Faced with the crowd that had gathered around, chattering away, Grandpa Chu said with a smile, "You're all welcome to come to my house tonight to watch TV dramas."
This statement drew cheers from the crowd.
After all, the room size is limited, and it can't accommodate so many people when going to a house with a TV to watch TV.
Moreover, relationships vary in closeness and distance, so it's not possible for just anyone to go anywhere.
Some people followed Gu Wei and the others up to the third floor.
Gu Wei waited for the old man to open the door and put the television on the table where a spot had been cleared.
Grandpa Chu said with a grateful expression, "Young Gu, thank you so much. They'll help install the antenna here, so you should go and do your work without delay."
Gu Wei had originally intended to help this person to the end, but now that he realized he really didn't need to do it, he smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll be going now, Grandpa Chu."
"Goodbye, Grandpa Chu," Gu Hongjie said with a smile.
Grandpa Chu affectionately patted Gu Hongjie's head, "Come over to watch TV tonight too."
Gu Hongjie happily agreed.
Next, Gu Wei drove Gu Hongjie to the guesthouse.
After a night's rest, Lin Hang looked much better.
Gu Wei handed them three sleeper tickets to the capital and paid the antique dealer more than four thousand yuan.
Ke Yi often goes out and has his own way of making money.
He wrapped the money around his body with plastic and tape.
Gu Wei, who watched the whole thing, felt it was incredibly difficult.
They had another meal together.
This time, Ke Yi absolutely refused to let Gu Wei treat him to a meal.
Gu Wei didn't want the two grown men to argue over the money, so he let it go.
In any case, Gu Wei also prepared a bag of food for the three of them to eat on the road, including red sausage, roast chicken, bread, and so on.
After the meal, when Gu Wei drove the person to the waiting room, there was still an hour before boarding.
Neither Ke Yi nor Lin Yu felt comfortable keeping them waiting, so they both suggested that Gu Wei go about his own business.
Gu Wei disliked waiting the most, so he readily agreed, gave a few more instructions on what to be careful of on the way, and then left with his arm around Gu Hongjie's shoulder.
Unbeknownst to Gu Wei, Lin Yu only reluctantly withdrew her gazing after they disappeared from sight.
Lin Hang patted Lin Yu's forearm reassuringly and whispered, "Sister, hesitation will only lead to trouble."
Lin Yu gave a bitter smile. "I understand, you don't need to persuade me anymore."
"I'm glad you really understand." Lin Hang desperately wanted his sister to be happy, instead of being immersed in a love that would never be fulfilled.
Ke Yi watched their belongings like a guard, and of course he also noticed the siblings whispering to each other. His lips were pursed into a thin line...
After leaving the train station, Gu Wei took Gu Hongjie to Central Street, where they ate the cold drinks he hadn't had enough of the day before, and then went to the store to collect the sales revenue.
I ate dinner outside before going home.
As Gu Wei passed by the Chu family's house, he looked through the open window and saw that besides Old Master Chu, there were also some people sitting on small stools inside.
Grandpa Chu warmly greeted the two of them.
"Xiao Gu, you're back. The TV series will start airing in about 10 minutes."
"Yes, Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chengcheng are really good-looking. Come on over."
Other neighbors who knew the situation also chimed in.
Gu Wei smiled and said, "Okay, we'll go back and put our things down, and we'll be back in a bit."
Gu Hongjie was addicted to watching TV, so he rushed to his door in a few quick steps, took the key Gu Wei had given him, and opened the door.
The two washed their hands with water from the enamel basin and dried them with towels.
He brought some melon seeds and candies with him before locking the door and going to Grandpa Chu's house.
Shanghai Bund is a well-known and widely discussed IP.
Even though it has been remade several times, Gu Wei still thinks that the version starring Chow Yun-fat and Angie Chiu is a classic among classics, and that they portrayed the characters in a way that fits their roles.
The TV series starts at 8 PM and ends at 10 PM.
