Chapter 20: Reconciliation

Yuan Xiaohui's house is not far away, and it is only a little bit away by taxi, but these twenty minutes have made Chu Liuli suffer. She was mentally prepared to face Yuan Xiaohui's cold face, even white eyes and accusations.

After getting out of the car, she ran into the community, and when she arrived at the door of Yuan Xiaohui's house, she breathed a sigh of relief and rang the doorbell after calming down.

The door was opened, and Yuan Xiaohui stood at the door, only glanced at her, and then turned to go in. Chu Liuli was glad that she didn't turn her away, as long as they could meet, she would have a chance to speak.

Yuan Xiaohui stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out the window, thoughtful.

Chu Liuli slowly approached her and said sincerely: "Xiaohui, we grew up together, and you are my best friend." Zhang Yifeng likes me, and I like him too, but in my heart, you are the most important, and I will not give up our sisterhood for so many years for him. If you don't want us to be together, I won't be with him. Trust me, I really thought so. ”

Chu Liuli's words fell, Yuan Xiaohui slowly turned her head, and there were tears in her bright eyes.

Yuan Xiaohui was naturally lively and hearty, Chu Liuli rarely saw her like this, and her heart tightened, tearing and hurting.

After a moment of silence, Yuan Xiaohui looked at Chu Liuli and said, "Liuli, you think so, why don't I do this?" Do you think I'll give up so many years of sisterhood for a man? I like Zhang Yifeng, but he doesn't like me, so why should I force it? It's also a good thing that the man I like can be with my good sister......"

Yuan Xiaohui paused, pinched Chu Liuli's cheek, and said with a smile: "I ignore you these days, not because Zhang Yifeng likes you, but because you actually hide from me and secretly be with Zhang Yifeng?" Do you just look down on me like this, thinking I'm going to be jealous and jealous? ”

"Xiaohui, you mean, if I'm with my senior brother, you won't blame me? You ignore me just because I didn't tell you in time? Chu Liuli ignored the pain on her face and confirmed with her.

Yuan Xiaohui let go of her hand, poked her nose again, and said with a smile: "That's right! Since childhood, we have no secrets, and this time you are hiding it from me! You also like Senior Brother, why don't you tell me? What, you still want to give him up to me? So high-winded? ”

"If Senior Brother likes you too, I think I'll give him to you." Chu Liuli's big eyes flashed, deliberately angry with Yuan Xiaohui.

"Okay, you little Liuli, you know how to poke my heart!" As she spoke, Yuan Xiaohui stretched out her hand and tickled Chu Liuli's body, she knew that she was afraid of this, this was her magic weapon to win.

Chu Liuli begged for mercy again and again, and the sisters laughed and made trouble, hugging each other.

After getting the understanding of the good sisters, Chu Liuli accepted Zhang Yifeng's confession with peace of mind. Zhang Yifeng was ecstatic, took care of Chu Liuli in every way, not to mention the commuting and pick-up, and took her to delicious food in a different way. In a month, Chu Liuli gained several pounds.

At the end of the year, the Repair Skills Center organized a traditional apprenticeship meeting, in which several masters of several specialties such as tilling, oil making, carpentry, electrician, and repair management accepted apprentices.

The ceremony of the apprenticeship meeting adopts the traditional apprenticeship etiquette procedures in the industry, with experts such as Chu Zhiwei serving as witnesses and ushers respectively, and the masters are sitting in the middle of the stage to accept the bowing of the apprentices. The apprentices recited the apprenticeship post, and after the masters accepted the apprenticeship post, they recited the apprenticeship post on the spot, and warned the apprentices to remember: honesty, seriousness, not arrogance, and not greed. Guarantee to devote what they have learned, do not hesitate to teach, master and apprentice hand in hand, and work hard to promote the ancient Chinese construction skills. The master and apprentice also gave each other apprenticeship and apprenticeship gifts. The atmosphere of the apprenticeship meeting was cordial and warm, highlighting the theme of "only by worshipping a good teacher can you learn real skills, and only when you choose a good teacher can you dare to pass on kung fu with all your heart".

Most of the apprentices are middle-aged technical backbones with certain experience in the ancient building repair team, and they will shoulder the mission of inheriting the ancient construction skills of the Forbidden City in an orderly manner and maintaining the stable development of the ancient construction team of the Forbidden City.

Chu Liuli watched from afar, envious. She had heard from her father that it was not uncommon for cultural relics to be repaired into fake antiques, resulting in the destruction of the value of cultural relics. The main reason for this phenomenon is that in the past, in the various laws and regulations and documents of the cultural relics department, there were only macro regulations on the principles that must be observed in the protection of cultural relics, while ignoring the human and technical factors in the construction of the project. For the restoration and protection of cultural relics, most of the technology comes from the old craftsmen, and most of the craftsmanship is passed down by the master, relying on the accumulation of experience, mastering the fire and timing in the operation process, and clarifying the sequence of the construction process. In this sense, measures should be taken to preserve and protect traditional craft techniques as "intangible cultural heritage".

After the apprenticeship ceremony, it was the expert who spoke, Chu Zhiwei's sonorous and excited voice echoed in the room: "Our ancient building repair is a highly practical profession that requires the accumulation of experience, and if you want to become a master in the industry, it takes a long process, long-term experience and practice. Apprenticeship is a kind of historical inheritance in the form, and it is also a very important part of the ancient construction bank, and it is the most common and effective way to inherit skills in our industry. The masters and apprentices who are here today are all from the front-line backbone. I hope to continue to pass on the tradition of apprenticeship and apprenticeship, so that the ancient construction of our institute will flourish and there will be successors. ”

Before Chu Zhiwei finished speaking, the people present applauded excitedly. Chu Liuli, as an onlooker, couldn't help but applaud with them. She looks forward to the day when she can become what her father called the "front-line backbone" and dedicate her life to the Forbidden City, which has been around for nearly 600 years.

After learning that Chu Liuli and Zhang Yifeng were together, Pan Rongxuan was very disappointed, but he did not forget his mission to repair the relationship between his father and Chu Zhiwei. On this day, he called Chu Liuli and thought of a way with her. Chu Liuli is a man of action, and he immediately began to implement the plan.

After eating at noon, Chu Liuli quietly pushed open the door of Chu Zhiwei's office.

Chu Zhiwei knew it was his daughter when he heard the footsteps, and asked without raising his head, "What, something is looking for me?" ”

"Whoever knows me, my father too! Yes, I do have something to look for you. Chu Liuli replied with a grin.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Chu Zhiwei straightened his body.

"Dad, Dr. Pan called me and said that you and my mother always look for him for dinner, and he wants to invite him back. He cooks his own food and invites us to his house for dinner. Chu Liuli replied.

Chu Zhiwei looked up at her and couldn't help laughing: "This kid is quite kind. I'm okay here, you can ask your mom again. ”

"Order! Father! I'll take a taxi with you after work! "It was so easy to complete the task assigned by Pan Rongxuan, Chu Liuli was naturally happy. Before that, she thought her father would refuse!

Towards evening, Chu Liuli came out of the office and looked in the direction of his father's office. The office lights were on, and it was clear that he was still busy.

She glanced at her phone, it was time to get off work, so she walked to the door and knocked lightly, but there was no response inside. She knocked twice, but no one answered. When she saw that the door was ajar, she looked through the crack in it.

My father was in the house, but he was lying on his desk, not moving.
