Fan Cheng originally wanted to hang out with Chen for an hour and then return to the set as soon as possible, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and she suddenly received a call from her grandfather.

"Chengcheng, can you come over now?" The old man's voice sounded on the other end of the phone. The old man, who was always energetic and loud, seemed a little weak when he spoke at the moment.

"Grandpa? What happened?" Fan Cheng was taken aback, "Is there something wrong?"

"I... I just went outside to tend the garden. When I stood up, I felt dizzy and almost fell. Now I feel chest tightness and feel a little uncomfortable." The old man said.

"I'll be right over. Grandpa, lie down in a cool, ventilated place for a while. Don't move around. Wait for me to come." Fan Cheng hung up the phone, hurriedly waved for a taxi, and rushed to the old man's house with Chen Liu .

The old man has always been in good health, and he has none of the common geriatric diseases.He loves to practice calligraphy, boxing, playing and singing, and his spirit is several times that of ordinary old people.Sudden dizziness and chest tightness this time really scared Fan Cheng. After all, he is an elderly person, and his body functions are definitely no longer young. Although the old man is cheerful and healthy, he lives alone. would be worrying.This time, Fan Cheng's worries were confirmed.A man who is 89 years old and almost 90 years old can no longer take it for granted that he will be so healthy forever.

"Wow, don't worry about your old man. He is a national treasure, and many things are inherited from him." Chen Liu said in the car.

Fan Cheng sighed and said yes.His grandfather is a master of flute, not to mention the flute, there are also some very rare wind instruments that have been lost in ancient times, which were excavated by him. He traveled to Japan in his early years and specialized in the production and playing of shakuhachi. Technique can be said to be one of the heroes of the country that welcomed back Shakuhachi.In addition to shakuhachi, there are also 筚篥, dragon flute, chi, and 龠. The research and inheritance projects of these ancient lost musical instruments are all tied to his old man.Every few days, performers from the Conservatory of Music will come to visit and ask for advice.

The old people always say: You don't need to come back to see me, you should be busy with your work, I don't have time to see you, I have to see too many people every day.This is the truth, and it is also a word of distress for the child. The old man does not want to burden the child.In contrast, children and grandchildren can't just ignore it, otherwise there is no such thing as "filial piety".Fan Lidong, the son, and Cheng Beibei, the daughter-in-law, have already traveled far away, and have been away from home all year round.Her idle granddaughter thinks that she can't achieve any great achievements. She has been close to her grandparents since she was a child, so she naturally takes on the responsibility of taking care of the family and often goes back to see the elderly.It turned out that the old man was not feeling well, and the first thing he thought of was his granddaughter, not the apprentices.

The Fan family’s old house in Shanghai is located next to the Conservatory of Music. It is an old community built in the 80s. It is a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle of the old city. They are all multi-storey small western-style buildings painted apricot yellow. They were very fashionable and enviable houses back then.All the teachers and staff of the Conservatory of Music live in the community, as well as some foreign teachers living in Shanghai.Even though the elderly are well-known all over the world, enjoy special national allowances, and receive high retirement wages, they still only live in old houses with an area of ​​less than [-] square meters.

Fan Cheng once really wanted to take her grandfather to live in the capital, so that it would be convenient for her to take care of him, and her mother is also in the capital, so she can take care of him from time to time.But grandpa always said that he lived here for a long time, got used to it, and couldn't leave it.In fact, the courtyard house that Fan Cheng lives in the capital is originally the real estate of his grandparents.To be precise, that courtyard house was actually one of grandma's dowry.For the Lu family, the golden family in the Republic of China, it was too easy to give their fourth lady, Lu Yuanfeng, a courtyard house as a dowry.It's just that this courtyard house has never been lived in by grandparents, and it has been vacant for many years, and it is only entrusted to take care of it.After my parents came to Beijing, they lived there for a while, and then moved out.It wasn't until Fan Cheng decided to stay in the capital to develop, and his grandfather directly made the decision to transfer the ownership of the house to Fan Cheng. After the courtyard was renovated, there was Fan Cheng as the new owner.

The taxi stopped at the entrance of the community, Fan Cheng and Chen left the car and entered the community.Fan Cheng showed emotion on his face, looking around, he just felt that this place has been like a day for decades, although there are more cars, narrower roads, and more closed balconies and self-built windows in every house, but it is still the same place she grew up in. The place.

I don't know if the former friends are still there.It is estimated that most of them have gone out.

Seeing her emotional expression, Chen Liu couldn't help but smiled and said nothing.

They came to the building where Grandpa Fan Cheng lived. Grandpa lived on the first floor, so it was convenient to get in and out. There was a yard behind. Grandpa liked to grow flowers and bonsai in the yard.He has a pair of skillful hands, what he feeds and what he does, and he has good taste. The green landscape in the courtyard is extremely beautiful for him, just like a fairyland in a painting.For a long time, Fan Cheng used the photos taken in the courtyard of her grandfather's house as her profile picture. People who didn't know thought they were beautiful pictures she found on the Internet.

Fan Cheng took out the key of her grandfather's house from the key bag and opened the door. She always carried this old key with her and never lost it.The key used to be hung on the chest with a rope and a red scarf, but now it is stored in the key bag. Time flies, and it has been more than 20 years.If you don't count the visit to grandpa when she first came to Shanghai a few days ago, she should have not been home for more than eight months, and the last time she came back was during the Spring Festival.

"Grandpa? Grandpa!" Fan Cheng opened the door and went in, shouting while changing his shoes.

"Oh, Chengcheng." The old man's voice came from the bedroom.Fan Cheng kicked off his shoes, before he could put on his slippers, he ran into the house barefoot.

Fan Cheng rushed into the back room, and saw the old man leaning on the bed, wearing presbyopic glasses, reading a newspaper.The old man has silver-white hair. He is nearly 90 years old, but his hair is still thick and well-groomed.He is very thin, tall and tall. Although his face is already full of wrinkles, he has a pair of bright eyes, a straight nose, and a square jaw. He can vaguely see the appearance of a handsome man when he was young.

Fan Cheng has seen photos of his grandfather when he was young. His grandfather was indeed a handsome man when he was young.Fan Cheng once heard from his grandma that in the turbulent era of the 40s, when wars were raging everywhere, everyone fled in disgrace, but he was always meticulously dressed in a Chinese tunic suit tailored to the body, and his leather shoes were polished. can see him.

Full of economics, peerless talent, infatuated and long-term love.He and his grandma fell in love at first sight during the war, and they fell in love when they saw each other again.This kind of fairy relationship between the crane and the fairy couple is enviable to say the least.

"Grandpa, how are you? Are you feeling better?" Fan Cheng squatted in front of the old man's bed and looked at the old man carefully.

"Hehehehe..." The old man laughed, as cute as a child, "Just lie down for a while."

"You scared me to death..." Fan Cheng said.

The old man put down the newspaper, took off his reading glasses, got up from the bed, raised his arms, and twisted his waist, as if showing off:

"Look, how flexible, it's all right."

"Okay, okay, you are really good." Fan Cheng was helpless, "But I still have to go for a physical examination another day to see if there is anything wrong."

The old man seemed displeased, waved his hand and said, "No need to go to the hospital, no need to go."

"Grandpa! Just let me rest assured, please go for an examination."

"Oh...I don't...well, well, Chengcheng, if you want me to go, I'll go." The old man was reluctant, with a face of reluctance.He doesn't like to go to the hospital, and the whole family knows it.

"You have to pay attention to your body, we are all worried about you."

"What's the matter with my old man? The boxing for more than 70 years is not for nothing. It's you young people who don't pay attention to your health, so you are easy to get sick. Look, why is your child barefoot? It's so cold, go and put on your shoes, come on, let me get you shoes."

"No, no, you rest, I will do it myself."

The old man insisted on getting her slippers, so Fan Cheng could only help him out of the bedroom.When she passed the bedside chest of drawers, she saw a black and white photo of her grandma when she was young standing on it.The beauties in the photo seemed to be staring at them, Fan Cheng smiled at the photo as a greeting to grandma.When this photo was taken, grandma was still a student at Nantah University, wearing a blue bamboo jacket, a long black cloth skirt, and her soft and beautiful long hair tied into long braids. Danfeng’s eyes were full of flair.This pair of red phoenix eyes was passed down to his father, and later inherited by Fan Cheng.

The old man walked to the hall, saw Chen Liuchu there, was startled, and said:

"Yo, which family's young man is this?"

"Grandpa, this is the editor in charge of my publishing house, Chen Liu." Fan Cheng introduced that this was the first time Chen Liu came to her hometown in Shanghai, and it was also the first time he saw his grandfather.

"Grandpa Fan, my name is Chen Liu." Chen Liu greeted hurriedly and respectfully.

"Boyfriend?" the old man asked.

"No, grandpa, haha." Fan Cheng laughed out loud, and she knew that grandpa was going to misunderstand.She took out the slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on by herself, and at the same time threw a pair of slippers to Chen Liu.

"You girl, you still have the nerve to laugh, the boss is not young and has no one, your grandpa and I are at your age..."

"I know, you fell in love with grandma when you were 15, got married when you were 20, and when you were 29, my dad should be in grandma's stomach." Fan Cheng laughed.At that time, people who were a little more particular did not dare to have children, for fear that the children would not be able to support them, and adults lived day by day.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, people couldn't have enough to eat. Grandparents didn't have a father until they had a stable home, a stable supply of food stamps, and some good food to recuperate their bodies.

"You ghost." The old man nodded Fan Cheng's forehead, and Fan Cheng just smiled.Chen Liu glared at Fan Cheng: thick-skinned, do you want to be cute?Fan Cheng stuck out his tongue at him: I learned from you, anyway, grandpa dotes on me.

Fan Cheng and Chen Liu surrounded the old man and chatted in the living room. The old man saw his granddaughter today and was in a good mood.When he is in a good mood, the old man wants to play and sing.Chen Liu noticed that although this old house was outdated, the interior layout was unique.Especially in this living room, the Chinese-style screen is made of expensive Suzhou double-sided embroidery. The embroidery is of cats fluttering butterflies, which is a homonym for old age, implying longevity and well-being. It is very delicate.The tea table is a good whole piece of chicken wing root carving, on which there are chess board, tea tray and a complete set of Kung Fu tea set.There is a large row of antique racks against the wall, on which there are a wide variety of antiques and rare gadgets. If you look closely, you will find Ming and Qing porcelains, old-fashioned clocks and watches, as well as Tianqing Ru kiln porcelain from the Song Dynasty. Even though he couldn't tell the truth from the fake, he definitely couldn't be fake.

Such a precious thing is placed on the shelf so casually, isn't it afraid of attracting thieves?Chen Liu couldn't help thinking.

The most amazing thing is that there is an unimaginable shelf next to the Bogu shelf.There are all kinds of wind instruments densely and neatly arranged on it, including flutes and flutes, and some strange-shaped musical instruments that Chen Liu can't name. In addition, there is a guqin sitting quietly on the flute. Next to the xiao stand.It can be seen that these musical instruments are well maintained, and the elderly may spend a lot of time every day taking care of them.

Wow... It is said that the Fan family is a rare family of poems, books, rituals and music in the contemporary era, and it really lives up to its reputation. Chen Liu was amazed.

"Chengcheng, I just thought of a flute score two days ago. It's very good. I'll play it for you."

"Okay."

The old man took out a flute he often played from the coffee table, and said:

"Chengcheng, aren't you going to shoot that...TV drama recently? I heard that there was some rumors about the little girl with the heroine. Is it true or not?"

"Grandpa, who did you listen to?" Fan Cheng was taken aback, he didn't expect his grandpa to know about this, who is so talkative.

"Your Uncle Liao said it when he came here yesterday. He said he saw it on some platform. What is it?" "Uncle Liao" is a professor at the Conservatory of Music and one of the old man's disciples. To one of the big elders.

"Weibo, Grandpa."

"Hey, Chengcheng, grandpa wants to change this elderly phone. I want to change it to the smart phone that you young people are using now. Look, can you help me?" The old man suddenly changed the subject.

"Could it be that you also want to read my news on Weibo?" Fan Cheng revealed.

"Oh, Chengcheng, just say, can you help me?" The old man said childishly.

"Of course, but those news are nothing to look at, do you still not trust your granddaughter?" Fan Cheng said.

"Then tell me, is it true or not between you and that little girl?"

"Of course it's...a lie." Fan Cheng told a lie against his will, and Chen Liu who was standing beside him glanced at her, but didn't dare to laugh with a sullen face.

"I don't believe it, you bring that little girl to show me some other day." The old man seemed to have noticed something, and said suddenly.

"Eh?!"
