While speaking, several people walked to the gate of Tianyang Timber Mill.

The workshop director is arranging for the workers to load several boxes of open timber into the truck. He first said hello to Tan Weimin and Director Liu, and then ignored Chu Mingchen and showed Lou Xinyue the various woods he had carefully selected for her.

As an old wood carver, Director Li understands very well that different materials of wood correspond to different carving needs.

Although the process of making ancient architectural models is not the same as that of carved wood carvings, the wood required is not too far behind.

And because Lou Xinyue is a beginner or a girl with little strength, the wood he chooses is mostly soft-textured cork:

"These basswood, camphor wood and ginkgo wood, the air-dry density is about 0.8, the hardness is low, and it is most suitable for carving some works with simple shapes and general images, and it is very good to make ancient architectural models. The little girl is learning to carve with these woods, and it is relatively easy to carve them. ”

Seeing Lou Xinyue nodding and listening carefully, the workshop director pointed to another finely packaged wooden box:

"When you're done with your craft, you can try carving with nanmu. Nanmu is the first of cork, the grain is delicate, and the luster after polishing is very beautiful! This box of golden silk nanmu is specially arranged by Director Liu, and the patterns on it are all natural landscape character patterns, which are used to make ancient architectural models for the competition, and they will definitely win the award! ”

"So powerful?" Lou Xinyue naturally hoped to make a model out of golden silk nanmu, but she still remembered the budget amount stipulated by Ye Fangyu, so she shook her head, "But this is too expensive and does not meet the regulations." ”

Tan Weimin, who listened to the introduction of the workshop director, couldn't help but sigh.

"This big box of golden silk nanmu is worth hundreds of thousands, and it is not a waste to give them such a good thing!" After he finished speaking, he wanted to beckon the workers to move down.

Director Liu hurriedly dissuaded: "Wherever and where, this is all as it should be!" Let the kids take it! ”

"This is absolutely not good, the competition has requirements, and you can't use such valuable materials." Tan Weimin saw that the workers were not moving, so he wanted to move it down by himself, but Director Liu just didn't let him.

Seeing that the two sides were deadlocked for a long time, Chu Mingchen, who had always been regarded as air, finally stood up:

"That Director Liu, Director Li, our works are very difficult to model! Hardwood may be required! You should take back this golden silk nanmu! ”

"Hardwood?" When Director Liu's eyes lit up when he heard this, he turned around and greeted the workshop director, "Lao Li! Go! Move the box of small leaf red sandalwood in the warehouse! ”

Chu Mingchen hurriedly stopped, "Hey, Director Liu, you still use good things on the blade, and besides, the air-dry density of Xiaoye Rosewood is about to reach 1.3, and we don't have the strength of Master Luo." After speaking, he saw that there were some mahogany piled up at the door, so he pointed and said, "If I want to think of two boxes of red acid branches, the hardness is second only to the small leaf red sandalwood, and the price is not so expensive. ”

"This ......"

Director Liu wanted to pay for it himself, but the price of wood was too high, and he was thinking about making an IOU with the factory first, but he was a little hesitant when he heard this.

After all, if such a good wood is used for one piece less, if it stays in the factory, it may be used to negotiate a large order or participate in a wood carving competition in the future, bringing greater benefits and fame to Tianyang Timber Mill.

It's really inappropriate to make your own decisions.

But he said everything, how can he take it back?

"He's right." While Tan Weimin gave Director Liu the steps, he finally cast an approving look at Chu Mingchen, "Good materials still need good knives to carve!" To them? Hmph, isn't that a tyrannical thing?"

"Then, then listen to Dean Tan!" Seeing that Tan Weimin had talked about this, Director Liu finally stopped insisting.

But he still told the workshop director that he must choose the red sour branches that can match the pattern, color, air-drying density and aroma, and then contact Ye Fangyu to move to the designated place in person.

After arranging these trivial matters, he enthusiastically sent Chu Mingchen and Lou Xinyue away.

Tan Weimin stayed in Tianyang Timber Factory to help Director Liu contact the wood carver in Dongyang.

Lou Xinyue and Chu Mingchen declined Director Liu's kindness to send them back to school, but planned to go straight to Tianyang Academy of Fine Arts to find He Ying, and then pick up Gu Zhaodi and Tang Guoguo to go back to school together.

Tomorrow is May 31st, and all the team members of Tianyang University who participated in the competition with BJ official architecture will set off to BJ to inspect ancient buildings. This week, several people were busy with each other, and they hardly met each other, and many details needed to be communicated quickly.

For example, what do you want to eat when you get to BJ? What to play? What to buy?

And, of course, what buildings are being examined? What is the focus of the exam? How do you divide the work?

However, the latter is obviously not in Lou Xinyue's consideration.

At this time, she was already making a list of the delicacies she wanted to try on her mobile phone memo.

But none of them were treated well by Chu Mingchen: "I said that you are a super rich second generation, and you usually travel, so you eat these?!" ”

"You know what?" Lou Xinyue rolled her eyes arrogantly, "I've done a good job, go to BJ in the summer, a little fairy like us will eat all kinds of cultural and creative ice cream!" The spine beast of the Forbidden City, the big bowl of the National Museum, the great water method of the Old Summer Palace, and the blessing ice cream of the Temple of Heaven Park...... Not only is it cool and relieves the heat, but it is also especially suitable for taking pictures! ”

She looked at the mobile phone screensaver obsessively, and Yuan Lei took a street photo of cultural and creative ice cream, feeling that she was one step closer to her idol.

After thinking for a long time, I clicked on the memo: "I also want to add Wu Yutai's matcha-flavored ice cream!" ”

"What kind of food are you?" Chu Mingchen threw down a backpack of wood in his arms, and made a gesture to snatch Lou Xinyue's mobile phone, "I'll add a few more to you!" ”

"I don't!" Lou Xinyue looked defensive, "Write what you want to eat!" ”

"Humph! Write it yourself, write it yourself! ”

Chu Mingchen said and took out his mobile phone, typing while chattering:

"How can you go to BJ without eating BJ roast duck? There are also mending meat patties, grilled barbecue, and copper pot shabu! These are all meats, and the fruits are definitely favorites! As for me, I'll have a Chen Ji stewed boil, Yao Ji fried liver and belly Feng! Give Gu Zhaodi a mustard duck paw and a burnt duck heart, this taste is spicy enough, and it is the most suitable for her hot temper! Then choose a few peach kernel muffins, hawthorn pot helmets and saqi horses from Daoxiang Village for Senior Sister He Ying, and her gentle and demure temperament has to be matched with these snacks! If you can't eat enough, go to the palace gate to buy two servings of Baylor red bean rolls and eight-treasure sticky bean buns, with a few bottles of Arctic Ocean soda and sour plum soup, and after the meal, a bowl of Wenyu cheese to eat, this is all work! ”

Seeing Chu Mingchen put away his mobile phone, but didn't read his name, Lou Xinyue was a little unhappy: "Why don't you have mine?" ”

Chu Mingchen pretended to be puzzled: "A fairy like you, don't you just eat ice cream?" ”

"The fairy wants to eat too!" Lou Xinyue instantly pursed her mouth.

"Oh? So what do I want to choose for you? Chu Mingchen smiled crookedly, "Since you are a fairy, you must maintain your figure, you can't eat more, I think the old BJ bean juice best meets your requirements!" Sour enough! Enough to rush! You can't eat when you smell it!! ”

After saying that, he burst out laughing.

"Bean juice?" Lou Xinyue was stunned for two seconds, then reacted, unfastened her seat belt and rushed over to pinch Chu Mingchen's neck, "You dare to say that Miss Ben is like bean juice!" You bastard! You're sour, you're rushing!! ”

"Hey, hey~ Okay, okay, okay! I'm just kidding! You fasten your seatbelts, it's high speed! Chu Mingchen hurriedly grabbed her wrist with fangs and claws, and "haha" for a long time before saying, "Look at your anger!" Can't I choose you again? ”

"You let go!" Lou Xinyue was already pampered, and her soft wrist was painful when she was caught like this, "Nasty guy!" I'll tell them in a moment, you deliberately bullied me! ”

"Okay, okay, I'll let go!" Chu Mingchen said, then changed his left hand to grab the wrists of Lou Xinyue's two hands, leaned forward to get slightly closer to her, and grabbed the seat belt buckle on her side with his right hand, before he lowered his head slightly and whispered, "But I let go, you are not allowed to pinch me again!" ”

Seeing Lou Xinyue nodding obediently, he quickly pulled out her seat belt and buckled it, and at the same time released her white wrist.

I don't know that this Lou Xinyue doesn't talk at all.

She was quick with her hands, and when she raised her hand, she grabbed Chu Mingchen's curly hair: "Dare to play Miss Ben!" I'll give you the Mediterranean today! ”

Chu Mingchen immediately shouted: "Ah! Hurt! Freeway! No fighting! ”

Seeing that her hand strength was not reduced, she hurriedly said: "In order to thank Miss Lou for saving the Tianyang Timber Factory from fire and water, I will take you to eat palace dishes, that, that are all the things that the palace can eat in the early years!" They don't have the qualifications to eat if they want to, so they will serve you, it's all right, right? ”

"What else?"

"And? Also, your Miss Lou is the most beautiful and kind-hearted, and we can have such a good wood competition, all thanks to your credit! You are our hero! I was wrong, I was wrong! Spare me! ”

"That's pretty much it." Hearing this, Lou Xinyue was relieved and reluctantly let go of her hand.

Chu Mingchen held his head and rubbed it for a long time, but he didn't dare to speak again.

The driver who was driving in front of him finally wiped the cold sweat from the corners of his forehead and eased his emotions in a timely manner: "That's right, the little couple is noisy and noisy, but don't dare to do it on the highway, not a few days ago, there was a couple fight and an accident, and it was all on the news!" ”

The two of them, who had just quieted down, immediately said in unison:

"Who's in love with him!"

"Who's a couple with her!"

Then they glared at each other and looked out of their windows.

The trees on both sides have grown green leaves, and they look far away, and the blue waves are turbulent, but before they can see what kind of trees are on the side of the road, they are left behind in a flash. It seems that many years ago it took root in my heart, but it was unbearable to look back on the sad past.

Lou Xinyue will never forget the summer when she first entered elementary school, in order to turn the business empire in his heart into reality, her father resolutely quit his stable job to go to the sea to do business, and walked all over the mountains and rivers of the motherland with his resolute feet; Mom refused to give up the applause under the stage and the lights on the stage, and toured around with the song and dance troupe, leaving the most beautiful dance postures all over the world; And she herself was left alone in her grandmother's courtyard.

She has lived with her grandmother for ten years and followed in her mother's footsteps for ten years. Until Dad became the premier real estate tycoon, and Mom also stepped off the stage and retreated into the background, Lou Xinyue was full of joy, thinking that she had finally waited for the time of family reunion.

saw my mother take out a divorce agreement from her handbag.

Husband and wife get together less and leave more, have discordant feelings, and lack a common language......

These are the reasons for their separation, but they never ask her if she agrees with this decision, except for asking Lou Xinyue who she is willing to live with.

So, she could only dance with emotion, in her room, in the dance studio, and on the street...... Even, in the heavy rain.

Unfortunately and fortunately, she had explosive myocarditis.

After being successfully rescued, my grandmother, father and mother were crying, and she was the only one laughing.

Who said she's just a beautiful vase with money? Who says being sick is a bad thing? Lou Xinyue feels that she is the smartest at the moment! The happiest!

Oh yes, it's all thanks to the heavy rain.

Also, she lay in the ambulance and saw the towering trees on both sides of the road from the small county town to the provincial capital, where she heard her silent prayers!

And in the same way, when Chu Mingchen saw such a scene, he couldn't help but think of his post-catastrophe rebirth.

Chu Mingchen, who lost his parents, was picked up by his uncle because there was no one to take care of him, but his uncle was still an archaeology student who had just interned at that time, and he ate and slept at the archaeological site on weekdays, so he had no energy to take care of an eight-year-old child. Especially after Chu Mingchen experienced the earthquake, he didn't dare to sleep by himself, and he had to turn on the light to tell stories all night. After taking leave to take care of Chu Mingchen for many days, and he is about to face his graduation defense, his uncle is exhausted.

Later, after being introduced by the school teacher, there was a professor and his wife, both of whom were senior talents of Tsinghua School of Architecture, with strict family style and good conditions, and their only son was frail and sickly, and wanted to adopt another child to be the companion of that child, so the uncle took Chu Mingchen to the professor's residence.

"Mingchen is good, Professor Liang is very good, you will be his son in the future."

"He also has a son, who is estimated to be three or four years older than you, and you will call him brother when the time comes."

"Haven't you always envied that everyone else has a grandfather? Professor Liang's father is also a very good old professor, and he will be your grandfather in the future. ”

Uncle was depicting how beautiful and warm his future home would be for Chu Mingchen all the way. Chu Mingchen didn't say it was good, nor did he say it was bad. He thought that this child was ignorant, but he didn't know what kind of terrifying and gloomy jungle the taxi they were taking in was in the eyes of Chu Mingchen.

It was only after he handed Chu Mingchen's little hand to Professor Liang's big hand that he got into the return taxi alone, that he saw how persistent and strong this child was in his bones.

Chu Mingchen shook off Professor Liang's hand almost immediately.

Raise your leg and chase after the taxi.

The rain was pouring down, and he didn't care, just shouted loudly as he ran:

"Uncle! Uncle! I don't listen to stories anymore! ”

"Uncle! I can sleep on my own! I'm not afraid! ”

"Don't send me away! Don't give me to anyone else! Don't leave me! ”

He couldn't remember how long he had been chasing, but he felt his legs go numb and his heart almost jump out of his throat, until he saw his uncle's car turn a corner, and he fell into a puddle on the ground, never to get up again.

Chu Mingchen didn't cry or shout.

Because he knows that from now on, he will have no more relatives, and he is a complete orphan.

But the car stopped.

The uncle stumbled down from the car, hugged the nephew who had not been with him for a few days, and cried uncontrollably:

"Mingchen! I'm sorry! It's my uncle who is confused! You are the only blood and blood of my sister and brother-in-law, how can I give you away! Uncle is really not a thing! Uncle will never leave you again! ”

In this way, Chu Mingchen got into the taxi for the return trip again, and he still remembered that the leaves washed by the rain were dazzling green in the sun, and the pieces were distinct, and they were all trimmed with gold. The trees waved their thick arms, like the solid arms of the father and the gentle embrace of the mother, giving him the strength and courage to welcome the new life.

But he found out later.

My uncle didn't have a good time at that time, and when he was archaeology, he was running around, living in no fixed place, and he didn't earn much, so he was finally introduced to a partner, and suddenly he was told that his future husband would have to raise his sister's children, so he turned around and blew it with his uncle.

It can be seen that those undying love and snail girls only exist in drama legends.

Couples in this year are not reliable at all!

The two of them each recalled this, and they were pulled back to their minds by the driver who had nothing to say.

"Eh, have you heard? Our Tianyang Municipal Government introduced a film and television city project some time ago, and it has been repaired for several days. Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, the driver jumped out again to ease the atmosphere, "I heard that it was built for a big-budget TV series, and the scale is like the imperial city, just ahead!" ”

This is a novelty.

Lou Xinyue and Chu Mingchen looked to the left together, but they didn't even see a shadow: "Why didn't you see it?" ”

The driver poured cold water on it: "On the right!" ”

"And!" Lou Xinyue rolled her eyes again.

At this moment, in the taxi that passed by them, a girl's scream sounded:

"He Ying, He Ying! Look! Just in front, the filming base of "Da Ming Craftsman", it's time for them to carry out the ground battle process today, I didn't lie to you! This lesson is really the right one! ”

Following Xu Jing's finger, He Ying also pressed the window.

I saw that in the dense forest not far away, the corner of the palace on the top of the heavy eaves hall was faintly visible, and the yellow tiles on it were like scales shining golden light between the branches and leaves.

As the front of the car turned, a huge film and television base construction site appeared in front of you.
