Brush Up Your Proficiency

Wang Hao stepped briskly into the house, and as soon as he entered, his sister Wang Lan's eager voice came: “Brother, where did you go?” She spoke as she hurried to meet him.

When she saw the delicate musical instrument case in Wang Hao's hand, a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes, and she quickly asked, “Oh, why did you suddenly think of buying a musical instrument? What's inside?”

Obviously, Wang Lan knew very little about musical instruments, only recognizing the appearance of the instrument case, and could not deduce the specific type of instrument from its packaging.

However, Wang Hao didn't hide anything or try to be mysterious. He went straight to the table, gently placed the instrument case on it, and then skillfully opened the lid.

In an instant, a brand-new and shiny erhu was displayed in front of Wang Lan.

“Oh, it's an erhu!” Wang Lan said in surprise, “Isn't this the kind of instrument only old men in the park play? Why did you buy it, brother? Are you going to give it away?”

Her words revealed a common misconception about the erhu—that it was just a toy loved by older people.

In fact, not only Wang Lan thought this way, but most young people in society used to hold similar views.

Even Wang Hao himself once held the same idea.

However, with the progress of the times and the development of society, those outdated and stereotypical ideas are gradually being broken.

Just like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, the old shackles are gradually dissipating, and new cognitions and pursuits are gradually rising.

The erhu, which was originally regarded as outdated and only suitable for street performers, is now beginning to be enthusiastically sought after by more and more young people.

The world seems to be a huge cycle, and musical instruments have not escaped its laws.

"No, I'm not giving it away. I just feel like I've been closing my stall early lately, and I have more free time, so I thought about playing an instrument to cultivate my artistic cells."

As Wang Hao spoke, he picked up the erhu and handed it to Wang Lan, and then continued: “This erhu is our traditional national musical instrument, and it has a particularly large expressive range.

Although some special mixed chords may not be playable, most other pieces can be handled.

Moreover, it also has its own unique range."

Wang Hao talked eloquently, but Wang Lan, who was on the side, was obviously a little dizzy from the theoretical knowledge of music that seemed like a heavenly book.

Although she couldn't fully understand, it didn't prevent her from feeling impressed.

Wang Lan couldn't help but sigh in her heart: “Although my brother went to an ordinary university, and I don't usually see him reading much, he really knows a lot!”

She looked at Wang Hao in front of her, pondering in her heart, and a small thought sprouted in her heart—she must urge her brother to find a girlfriend!

After all, in her aesthetics, her brother is already quite handsome.

After Wang Lan's observation tonight, she didn't know if it was her illusion, but her brother's slightly chubby figure seemed to have disappeared.

The handsomeness hidden beneath the fat began to show, and if such a handsome and capable brother were to find a girlfriend now, it would definitely be very easy!

Thinking of this, Wang Lan's face showed a bright smile.

She fantasized about what kind of girlfriend her brother would find, and besides, her brother's cooking skills were so good, and with this skill, his material conditions would definitely get better and better.

Whoever marries her brother in the future will really enjoy a good life! The more Wang Lan thought about it, the happier she became, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

She even began to imagine her brother finding a sweetheart and living happily together.

At this time, Wang Lan's thoughts had begun to drift away, and her expression began to wander.

Her mind was constantly filled with all kinds of strange thoughts and images, as if she were in another world.

It has to be said that Wang Lan's thinking is too jumpy, just like those students in class who are always distracted and unable to concentrate, which is both funny and annoying.

Wang Hao subconsciously popularized some of the characteristics of the erhu to Wang Lan, but seeing his sister's absent-minded look, he knew that it would be useless to continue talking.

He tapped his sister's forehead, waited for her to come back to her senses, and said: “Okay, go back to sleep quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow to go to the farmers market! Don't oversleep.”

So, Wang Hao returned to the living room and searched around for a tape measure. Finally, he found it in a corner.

Wang Lan, who had originally listened to her brother and was preparing to go back to her room to rest, was thinking about waiting for the next few days, when they returned to their hometown to harvest wheat.

Find a suitable opportunity to ask her brother about finding a girlfriend.

However, at this moment, she caught a glimpse of her brother returning, and he was holding a tape measure in his hand, and she instantly became extremely excited!

She saw Wang Lan take three steps and make two, rushing to Wang Hao's side as fast as lightning, and shouting impatiently: “Brother, are you going to measure your height! Let me do it, let me help you!” Her words were full of anticipation and excitement.

Today, she suddenly had a feeling—her brother seemed to have grown a lot taller!

This novel discovery made her excited, but then the joy of being immersed in delicious food almost made her forget about it.

But now that she remembered it, she of course wanted to verify it herself!

Wang Lan is simply a typical petite and cute girl, only one meter six tall, which is a relatively standard height among girls.

However, if you use such a height to measure Wang Hao's height, it still seems a little difficult.

Smart as she was, she brought a small stool, stepped on it, and began to measure carefully and meticulously.

The whole scene looked full of humor, and even Wang Hao himself couldn't help but be amused.

"One seven… um, one seventy-two!" When Wang Lan finally confirmed Wang Hao's true height with an uncertain look, her originally doubtful eyes instantly widened, and her face was full of disbelief.

You know, she had always clearly remembered that Wang Hao's height was 168.

“Brother, you've actually grown a whole four centimeters!!” Wang Lan couldn't help but scream in excitement. Because she was too excited, her body even swayed slightly, and she almost fell off the stool.

Fortunately, Wang Hao, who was on the side, quickly reached out and supported her, preventing a small accident from happening.

After hearing Wang Lan's deafening announcement, Wang Hao also felt overjoyed!

He finally got rid of the depressing label of “third-class disabled” and grew a full 4 centimeters at once!

This is simply an incredible miracle!

You know, in the field of modern medicine, even if people inject so-called hormone drugs that can stimulate height growth before their epiphyseal plates are completely closed, the actual effect is often minimal.

What's more, Wang Hao, who is now thirty years old and whose epiphyseal plates have been closed for many years? It is conceivable that such a special case of achieving secondary development is probably rare in the world.
