Chapter 2 Objectives

Chu Liuli wanted to go back to school on Monday, but her mother Guo Yajuan resolutely objected, so she asked her brother Chu Jingkai to take Chu Liuli to the hospital for a checkup, apply medicine, and recuperate at home for a few days. When Chu Liuli went back to school, her classmates looked at her like a national treasure panda.

"Ruri, what's wrong with you?" The eldest sister in the dormitory, Zhu Xintong, was full of concern in her eyes.

"Liuli, you can't be too focused when you look at handsome guys, and you don't stand firmly, right?" Second sister Guo Ziqian quipped.

……

Under everyone's earnest inquiry, Chu Liuli told the situation of that night from beginning to end. However, she omitted a description of the appearance of the man who collided with her. If Guo Ziqian knew that she collided with a handsome guy, I am afraid that she would want to enter Pianpian again.

A few of them were talking lively, and Yuan Xiaohui walked in the bedroom next door, excited, looked around and said, "Beauties, good news!" There's a basketball game this Friday! Our college vs. the School of Management and Economics, do you want to watch the game? ”

Yuan Xiaohui and Chu Liuli are in the same school from elementary school to university, and they are both classmates and best friends. Looking at her expression, Chu Liuli had already guessed the reason for her excitement.

"Is it Senior Brother Youfeng who participated in the competition this time?" Chu Liuli asked.

"That's right, Senior Brother Feng's injury has healed, and he will participate in this competition!"

Yuan Xiaohui's words fell, and there was a commotion in the bedroom. Yuan Xiaohui likes Zhang Yifeng, and it is not a secret in Gujian Academy.

Intoxicated in her own world, imagining what Zhang Yifeng looks like on the court, Yuan Xiaohui has made up a campus idol drama with her and Zhang Yifeng as the protagonists.

Zhang Yifeng is not only good at studying and handsome, but also the captain of the school basketball team and a man of the year in the school. His age, height, and weight were all inquired by Yuan Xiaohui. He was one year older than Yuan Xiaohui and Chu Liuli, so they called him Senior Brother in private. The basketball cheerleading team established by the school, many girls rushed to sign up, just to be able to get close to Zhang Yifeng. Chu Liuli is no exception.

However, Chu Liuli is very rational and sober, she feels that people like Zhang Yifeng are destined to be high-ranking male gods to her, and they will not have anything to do with each other. Moreover, she is devoted to the study of ancient architecture, and she does not want to or dare to touch her feelings. What's more, her best friend also likes Zhang Yifeng, she doesn't want to grab a man with her best friend.

Hearing that Zhang Yifeng was participating in the competition, the other three girls in the dormitory were all clamoring to go. Chu Liuli turned on the computer and looked at the paper she had just written. She was going to proofread it again, so she showed it to Professor Zhou, and also to her father.

Chu Liuli's father, Chu Zhiwei, works in the Palace Museum's Repair Skills Center, is a member of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage's expert group on ancient architecture, and has worked in the field of ancient architecture research for more than 20 years. In the 80s of the last century, Chu Zhiwei entered the Forbidden City to get in touch with the repair of ancient Chinese buildings, when he was only 18 years old. At first, he entered the field of ancient architecture as a carpenter just to make a living. Chu Zhiwei didn't expect that the more he did it, the more he felt that this business was broad and profound, and he had also become the third generation of carpenters in the Forbidden City since the founding of New China. He was a participant in the major renovation projects of the Forbidden City, including the pilot project of the Wuying Palace, the protection and maintenance of the west building of the central axis and the surrounding buildings.

Today, Chu Zhiwei, who is nearly 50 years old, is still active in the front line of promoting ancient architectural skills, chatting with some old craftsmen and promoting the inheritance of ancient architecture. Now, he will be very happy to see the appearance of young craftsmen, and hopes that by promoting the spirit of craftsmen and the recognition of society, more young people can become technicians, inherit the construction skills of Chinese architecture, and inherit the spirit of craftsmen.

In the year Chu Liuli was born, Chu Zhiwei was in charge of the renovation project of the Forbidden City with his master and brothers, and he was often busy eating and living on the construction site, and had no time to go home to see his wife and young children. Guo Yajuan asked what to name his daughter, and as soon as he looked up and saw the glazed tiles on the roof of the Forbidden City, he thought of the name "Chu Liuli". Glass is one of the "seven treasures" of Buddhism, which is a spiritual object to eliminate diseases and avoid evil. She hopes that her daughter will have no disasters in her life, and she also hopes that her daughter will have a strong character.

In the process of construction and maintenance, the ancient buildings of the Forbidden City have formed a complete set of palace building construction techniques with strict shapes, which are the inheritance and summary of China's thousands of years of ancient building construction skills. These are things that cannot be learned in books, and they need to be guided by the Master face-to-face.

Influenced by their father, Chu Liuli and his brother Chu Jingkai have been fond of ancient architecture since childhood. The model of the Forbidden City mortise and tenon made by Chu Jingkai when he was a teenager won the first prize in the national competition. The model and trophy are placed in Chu Zhiwei's study. The ancient paintings copied by Chu Liuli were also pasted by Chu Zhiwei and hung on the wall of the living room. Whenever a guest comes to the house and sees the models and paintings, they will praise them.

Chu Zhiwei now has more than 10 apprentices, who come from BJ, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi and other places. Chu Zhiwei's ideal is to continue the eight masterpieces of official-style ancient building construction skills, which will be passed down from generation to generation. Chu Jingkai and Chu Liuli are two brothers and sisters, one is good at wood work, and the other is studying color painting. Chu Jingkai learned the woodwork of the Eight Great Works with his father since he was a child, and after graduation, he entered the Gongwangfu Museum, and also worshipped the old craftsman Feng Chenggang as his teacher, which made Chu Liuli very envious.

Chu Liuli's goal is very clear, after graduation, he went to the Palace Museum's repair technology center to compete for a job, engaged in the research and repair of color paintings, however, Chu Zhiwei did not agree with his daughter's idea.

Because he knows that the restoration of ancient architectural paintings cannot be as comfortable as painting on the table and paper, he often has to climb the ladder and stand on the shelf to paint, sometimes standing straight, sometimes hunched over, sometimes with his head up, at the end of the day, his shoulders are sore and his neck hurts, his physical exertion is great, and his body is covered with paint. Moreover, there are certain toxins in the paints of the paintings. He didn't want his daughter to work so hard.

However, thinking that his daughter would not graduate in a few months, Chu Zhiwei did not resolutely object. He thought that maybe his daughter had been rising, and after a while she wouldn't think like that.

After school on Friday, Chu Liuli was pulled by Yuan Xiaohui to watch Zhang Yifeng's basketball game, and Yuan Xiaohui quietly told her that if the Gujian Academy team won, after the game, she would go to Zhang Yifeng to confess.

Although Chu Liuli has a cheerful personality, her ideology is more traditional, and in her opinion, it is a shame for a girl to confess to a boy. However, looking at her best friend's confident and happy look, Chu Liuli couldn't stop it. She even looked forward to the fact that the SME team would win this game, so that Yuan Xiaohui would not have to take the risk of confessing.

However, just as the fans expected, Zhang Yifeng returned from injury, which rejuvenated the Gujian Academy team, showed the demeanor of the king, and finally won by a big score.

Amid the cheers of the fans, Yuan Xiaohui mustered up the courage to get up from her seat and walked in the direction of Zhang Yifeng.
