my daughter my hometown

Chapter 142 I Don't Promise
"Grandma Li, this is absolutely unacceptable." Su Wu wiped off his sweat, "This piano is too expensive, we really can't have it."

He was afraid that Li Yan would not know the value of this violin, so he quickly searched the Internet for similar thousand-year-old violins.

Su Wu showed the transaction price displayed on the phone to Li Yan, "Grandma Li, look, if what you just said is true, this piano is worth at least 3000 million yuan."

Wen Lan was startled, and hurriedly came over to take a look, but couldn't help being in a daze.

With the couple's current net worth as a means of making money, a mere 3000 million won't make them overwhelmed, but it's still an astonishing amount of wealth.

The secondary highway connecting the expressway outside the village is the most expensive project in Yangxin Valley so far, and the cost is only more than 2000 million.

After reading the content on the phone, Li Yan shook his head silently.She gently stroked the guqin on the table.

"This is my teacher's inheritance piano. No matter what happens, it is impossible to sell it. It is deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors. So for me, it doesn't make much difference whether it is worth 3000 million yuan or 3000 yuan. "

"So that's the case. I was taken aback just now." Su Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

He laughed and said, "Since it is the piano inherited from your teacher, Grandma Li, then you can't give it to us casually."

Li Yan looked at Su Wu strangely.

After a while, she said, "I didn't say I would give it to you, Xiaowu, you and your wife. You two obviously don't understand the sound of my piano. Wouldn't it be a hidden gem to give it to you?"

The old lady is so direct.

Su Wu and the two coughed in embarrassment.

Li Yan ignored the two of them, and reached out to touch Su Wan's head affectionately: "I want to give it to baby Wanwan."

Wen Lan's heart skipped a beat.

It was indeed her first visit to Li Yan's small village on the mountainside, but Su Wu had mentioned her many times before, so Wen Lan was no stranger to this old lady.

She looked at Li Yan with bright eyes, "Grandma Li means that you are willing to take Xiao Wan as an apprentice and teach her how to play the piano?"

The popularity of guqin is indeed very low now, not to mention that few people abroad or even Chinese people know about it.

But with the development of the country's economy, traditional culture is being promoted again by the younger generation.After all, it is something that has been passed down for thousands of years, and the essence of Guqin has always been condensed in the bones of Chinese people.

It is understandable that it is ruthlessly discarded when the country is ruined and the family is in ruins or when there is not enough to eat.But who dares to say that with the development of the country, it will not become the goal pursued by the people of the country and even the whole world again?

Furthermore, even if it is not for future money, learning a musical instrument can at least improve the child's overall cultivation and temperament.

No matter how you look at it, it's really beneficial and harmless.

The more Wen Lan thought about it, the more tempted she became, and she couldn't help looking at Li Yan with burning eyes.

Li Yan looked back at Wen Lan appreciatively.

"It's still early to accept apprentices," she said, "It can be seen that Xiao Wanwan is naturally sensitive to guqin, but this is just a hobby. It doesn't mean that she will study seriously in the future."

"Don't worry, your grandma." Wen Lan quickly assured, "If Xiao Wan can really learn guqin from Grandma Li, I will definitely urge her to practice more sooner or later."

"It's not just Qin." Li Yan chuckled, and her eyes slipped into her dilapidated bedroom behind.

"A gentleman's four arts are piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I'm not good at chess and painting old women, so I won't talk about it. But piano and books can still be handed out."

She smiled modestly, "The level of the two. There is no comparison. The old lady dare not boast that she is comparable to all kinds of masters on TV, but she will not mislead the younger generation."

"That's great." Wen Lan was even more delighted.

Modern people are used to keyboards and mobile phones, and their handwriting has long since been lost, let alone calligraphy.

If Su Wan can learn calligraphy well, if nothing else, at least she can help write Spring Festival couplets in the future.

"Not good." Su Wu next to him shook his head and objected in a muffled voice.

He can still clearly remember his predecessor learning martial arts when he was a child and Shi Duanmin learning wood carving not long ago.

If you want to learn anything well, the process cannot be described in a few words, and it takes a lot of energy.However, the results are often not worth the candle.

"Xiaowan is only two years old. Isn't it a fool for such a young child to learn piano or books? Besides, she doesn't necessarily like these things."

Li Yan didn't speak, and she wasn't even ready to sit down.Just standing there, with his left hand directly stroking the strings on the table.The melodious sound of the piano sounded immediately.

Seeing the grown-ups talking incomprehensible words just now, Su Wan, who couldn't sit still, slipped down from her father's arms early, and happily played a game with the little lion on the ground that no one could understand except them.

However, when she heard the sound of the piano, she stood up immediately after being stunned, and looked at the table curiously with her little neck.

"Xiao Wan, tell mom, does the piano sound good?" Wen Lan was overjoyed, and hurriedly hugged her daughter up to let her have a better look.

"Wanwan, Dad doesn't think it sounds good at all. You don't think it sounds good, either, do you?"

Su Wu hurriedly spoke out, trying to distract Su Wan.

Wen Lan gritted her teeth and looked at him, her murderous eyes full of warning.

Su Wan, who was leaning against Wen Lan, did not receive the message from her mother.She nodded without thinking, parrot followed Su Wu and said: "Father is right, it doesn't sound good at all."

Li Yan was not angry either, and smiled kindly.

"Do you want to learn that night? Grandma can play the piano very nicely."

She bewitched: "If you learn it, you can play it to your parents. They will definitely like it."

"Think!" Su Wan's eyes sparkled, and she resolutely betrayed.

Su Wu's face darkened.

"Wanwan, you don't want to. Learning piano and calligraphy is very tiring. Then you won't be able to sleep in late, and you have to get up early to practice. If you don't learn well, you will be scolded and cry..."

Su Wan was at a loss, "Like Auntie?"

Su Wu hesitated.

In front of his wife, he asked cautiously: "Which gugu is Wanwan talking about? Aunt Xue is still Sister Xiaoniu's cuckoo monkey."

Although both Su Xue and Monkey are named Gugu, their fates are different.

Su Xue is synonymous with being busy and diligent.

Because she will take the college entrance examination next year, she has to study hard at home, and she has to study in the middle of the night every day.When she is free to leave home during the day, she has to farm or take care of various crops.

Although there was a lot of money forced by Su Wu on her card, she had been growing various vegetables provided by Su Wu with Aunt Ma after the holiday.When the vegetables are ripe, she can eat them at home or sell them to tourists, which really makes her some money.

As for the monkey Gu Gu, it was exactly the opposite of Su Xue, and it was synonymous with laziness.

Because its owner, Su Xiaoniu, has recently become obsessed with Su Wan's various novelty toys, so recently it doesn't even accompany the owner very much.

The broken monkey sleeps until noon every day before getting up.If it is hungry, it will just sit under the big maple tree in the village, and many tourists will come here to bring it delicious bananas or other fruits, and then play chess with it.

The days are really passing by.

"Want to talk about Aunt Xue." Su Wan nestled in her mother's arms, swinging her two little feet leisurely.

Su Wu heaved a sigh of relief, he nodded, "Father is talking about Aunt Xue, do you remember how miserable she is?"

"I got up late to go to the bathroom several times in the middle of the night. Didn't I see Aunt Xue who was still working hard in the room with the lights on and frowning? She couldn't even sleep well after eating."

Su Wan tilted her head and thought about it.

Whether this aunt Su Xue is worried or not, the little girl can't remember and doesn't care.However, when Su Wu mentioned rice balls, she cared very much.

So she said in horror: "Remember it every night."

"So wait until Wan Wan grows up and can go to school. Then learn these things hard, okay?"

Su Wu coaxed his daughter with hey, and Wen Lan was so angry that she clenched her fists and wanted to beat him up.

"Okay." Su Wan replied without thinking.

Su Wu's treachery showed, facing his wife's murderous gaze, he said with a smile: "Then go play with An'an."

"En." Su Wan responded loudly, and said crisply in Wen Lan's ear: "Mom, I want to go down and play with An An."

Wen Lan was so angry that she couldn't even speak smoothly, "Su Wu, you are so good, don't you know that you are a loving mother with many failures..."

Su Wan didn't feel that her parents were arguing.She struggled grinning.

Unable to hold her, Wen Lan had to put her down, and then watched the two little guys laughing and fighting together speechlessly.

Li Yan shook his head, pulled back the stool that had been thrown flying just now, and sat down upright again to pluck the strings.
