wood builder

Chapter 20

In the elective classroom, four girls stood in front of the podium, looking at each other.

"This Teacher Ye! What do you mean!" Lou Xinyue stomped her feet anxiously, but her eyes lit up as if she suddenly thought of something, "Could it be us, who are too ignorant of the world? How about I pay her a gift?" A big gift, maybe it’s all right?”

After hearing these words, He Ying and Tang Guoguo looked at each other, then shook their heads at her.

"Don't come up with bad ideas!" Chu Mingchen, who was sitting in the front seat, interrupted and denied, "Ms. Ye is not the kind of person who bends his waist for five buckets of rice! Be careful of flattering your horse's legs!"

Hearing that he started teasing herself again, Lou Xinyue was a little unhappy.

She crossed her arms and walked in front of Chu Mingchen, condescendingly accusing:
"It's all your fault! Teacher Ye caught me sleeping in class! Otherwise, why would she reject us?"

"Aren't you ashamed to say that?" Chu Mingchen replied, "What? If Teacher Ye doesn't call your name, you don't count as sleeping? Then I said she didn't agree because of you!"

"I" Lou Xinyue was choked and speechless.

"Now is not the time to argue!"

Seeing that the two started bickering again, He Ying hurriedly stopped them, and took advantage of the opportunity to analyze the meaning of Ye Fangyu's words for several people:
"Actually, I think Mrs. Ye is right. The entries for the city-level entry competition need to restore an ancient building in proportion. So mastering the most basic skills of making ancient architectural models is also the minimum skill we need. After all , relying on drawing blueprints and memorizing common sense, you can't build an ancient building."

"not only that."

Gu Zhaodi is obviously calmer than everyone else:

"Although the model is not as good as the real thing, whether it is the drawing of the sketch, the choice of wood, or the construction of the platform, beam frame, roof, and later decoration and painting, there are extremely detailed requirements. It affects the completion of the entire model. Therefore, practice is indeed a difficult point.”

"What's so difficult about it?" When it came to the topic, Chu Mingchen also put away those embarrassing expressions, and naturally divided the work among several people.

"Give the sketches and paints to senior sister He Ying, I don't think anyone will object?" He saw that a few people didn't speak and took it as their acquiescence.Then he looked at Gu Zhaodi, "The construction of platform foundations, beams and roofs belongs to the category of large woodwork and tile and stone construction. These are your strengths. I don't think anyone can do better than you."

However, Chu Mingchen still didn't put all this important work on Gu Zhaodi alone.

"Of course, the finalists are only about model making, so the parts of each part will be very small, no different from small woodwork. Except for doors and windows, flooring and decoration, which need to reflect the carving, I must carve it meticulously! You can leave the other big wooden works to me too!"

"Then, where are Lou Xinyue and I?" Tang Guoguo counted silently in her heart, always feeling that the few steps Gu Zhaodi said had already been divided by Chu Mingchen.

"Uh..." Chu Mingchen almost forgot that there were two more to make up the number, and he didn't realize it for a while, so he said nonsense, "Just dry and polish the wood! This is also a big project!"

As soon as the words fell, He Ying immediately rolled his eyes.

"Don't listen to his nonsense!"

Seeing Tang Guoguo bowed her head in disappointment, He Ying did not choose useless comfort, but exchanged ideas with her seriously:

"Gu Zhaodi can't handle the large woodwork and tile and stone work alone, so in addition to the work of drying and polishing wood, we also need to be responsible for some simple wood cutting and assembly. And after winning the finalists, enter the During the provincial promotion competition, your gardening skills will have a greater effect!"

"Really?"

"of course it's true!"

Tang Guoguo has always only focused on the present, and never thought that he would be able to enter the provincial promotion competition.But since He Ying has confidence in herself, she also chooses to believe in herself.

He Ying, Chu Mingchen, Tang Guoguo, and Gu Zhaodi felt that such a division of labor was not inappropriate.

But Lou Xinyue looked at her crystal nails with a sad face.

She was about to say that she didn't want to sand the wood.

But Chu Mingchen said "Ah" again, and then looked at herself: "However, Lou Xinyue's gift-giving reminded me!"

"Why wake up?" Several people asked in unison.

"In the past two days, after being rejected by Teacher Ye, we started to memorize books and lectures desperately, thinking about those questions day and night. However, we ignored the most important point!"

Chu Mingchen glanced at the four of them, and saw that the four girls had question marks on their faces, so he said bluntly:
"Ms. Ye has always been a loner, and the relationship with the students is not very good. So we can't just find her through elective courses, but also take the initiative."

Speaking of this, a mysterious smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"What do you want to do?!" The four girls looked disgusted at his expression, always feeling that he was full of bad ideas and couldn't come up with any good ideas.

"You will know when the time comes!" Chu Mingchen put away his schoolbag, then looked at He Ying and Gu Zhaodi and instructed seriously, "Go back and prepare a few samples of works you are good at, and listen to my instructions tomorrow morning! Success or failure depends on it!"

"Okay, let's go back and prepare now."

He Ying understood that the sample works that Chu Mingchen mentioned were the color paintings of ancient buildings that he was good at and Gu Zhaodi's carpentry works.As for what method he wanted to use to persuade Ye Fangyu, since he didn't want to talk about it, then he didn't ask.

After parting.

Chu Mingchen disappeared without a trace again, and the four girls returned to the dormitory to do their own work.

As soon as she entered the dormitory, Lou Xinyue rushed to the bed with snacks in her arms. She thought that she couldn't help anyway, so she might as well go after idol Yuan Lei's variety show.But watching Yuan Lei's promotion of ancient architecture in the program, he became more determined to win the ancient architecture competition, and unconsciously began to think about how to please Mr. Ye.

Tang Guoguo felt that making hairpins was his own skill, so he decided to imitate a simple gold hairpin from Ming Dynasty pavilions, and asked Chu Mingchen to bring it to Teacher Ye.

Gu Zhaodi and He Ying, on the other hand, were busy all night at their respective desks.

At eight o'clock the next morning, when Chu Mingchen and Chu Mingchen met downstairs in the teachers' dormitory, all four of them had a pair of panda eyes.

Tang Guoguo looked at the teachers coming in and out of the dormitory door, feeling uneasy: "Chu Mingchen, we came to find Teacher Ye, why are we staring at the bicycle shed? And hiding behind the grass, sneaking."

"Yes." He Ying who was hiding behind Tang Guoguo was also very puzzled, "Besides, how do you know that Teacher Ye lives here?"

Lou Xinyue, who had been chasing the drama all night, didn't ask any questions, but opened her mouth and yawned.

Just at this time, a familiar figure walked out of the teacher's dormitory and walked towards the bicycle shed.

"Hush!!!" Chu Mingchen hastily stopped all voices, then got up from behind the grass like no one else, and slowly approached the bicycle shed.

The eight eyes of the four girls who stayed in place were staring in the direction of the two of them.

Chu Mingchen yelled with his throat closed: "Ms. Ye! Good morning!"

The surprise emotion of the chance encounter is just right, even Lou Xinyue admires his acting skills.

"Huh? It's you! Good morning!" Ye Fangyu was a little surprised, and then looked down at her bicycle, frowning, "What's your name Chu?"

"Ms. Ye, my name is Chu Mingchen." As Chu Mingchen said, he looked at the wheels under her feet again, "Ms. Ye, did the chain of your car fall off?"

"Yes."

"Don't worry, I'll take a look for you." Without further ado, Chu Mingchen dropped his schoolbag and put Ye Fangyu's bicycle upside down on the ground.

"It's okay, the car chain fell off. I'm the best at installing the car chain! Wait for 2 minutes, and I'll put it back on for you."

"Thank you so much." Seeing this, Teacher Ye couldn't refuse.

Seeing Ye Fangyu's anxious look, Chu Mingchen didn't ask any more questions, but quickly installed the chain on the bike, and then straightened the bike.

Then he gave Ye Fangyu a signature smile: "Okay, Teacher Ye, try it."

Ye Fangyu saw that Chu Mingchen's mobile phone was full of oil and black ash, so she hurriedly took out a wet towel from his backpack to let him wipe his hands, tried the bicycle and thanked him repeatedly, and then rode away.

Seeing this, the four girls hurried forward.

Lou Xinyue looked surprised: "You can tell fortunes? How do you know that Mr. Ye's car chain will fall off?"

"Nonsense!" Chu Mingchen didn't hide anything, "I dropped it for her, of course I know!"

"Ah?!" Tang Guoguo couldn't believe it, "Then what if she doesn't need a bicycle and walks over?"

"No, she's in a hurry." Chu Mingchen was very sure.

But He Ying asked a question: "Then you put so much effort into letting her go?"

"This is just a chance encounter, to add impression points, understand?"

After Chu Mingchen finished speaking, he called Tan Weimin again: "Grandpa Tan, Teacher Ye is going to the library now."

On the other end of the phone, Tan Weimin replied with a smile: "Well, I told her that the library under her jurisdiction has a new batch of books that must be put on the shelves today."

"Understood Grandpa Tan." Chu Mingchen was about to hang up the phone.

Tan Weimin said again: "Oh, by the way, the librarians under her just asked for leave today."

This time it was Chu Mingchen who was surprised: This old man's methods are really high!
After hanging up the phone, Chu Mingchen said to the girl behind him: "Professor Tan said that Teacher Ye has been working in the management of the library for the past two years. He usually arranges for the administrator to sort out the books, and then communicates with the publishing house to introduce books. She is relatively free, but today, she may need our help."

"Oh~ I see!" Lou Xinyue raised her eyebrows, "You are showing favors!"

Chu Mingchen didn't speak, but only replied with a "you understand" expression.

After speaking, several people went straight to the library.

Unsurprisingly.

At the door of the library of the School of Architecture on the second floor, there were more than a dozen boxes of unopened professional books on ancient architecture, and Ye Fangyu was the only one in the entire library.At this moment, she was wiping the empty bookshelves with a rag.

He Ying recalled Ming Chen's initiative at the beginning, and went forward to do the same: "Mr. Ye, why are you sorting out so many books by yourself? We just don't have class in the morning, so let's help you do it together."

Ye Fangyu looked up.

She saw a girl with a lovely appearance who impressed her deeply, looking at herself from the other side of the bookshelf.Next to this girl was the fat girl who answered her own question in yesterday's elective class.Even though the two girls gave her a good impression, Ye Fangyu didn't want to be their mentor in the ancient architecture competition, and naturally she didn't want to owe them any favors.

After thinking about it, he smiled and refused the help: "No need, if you want to borrow books, go to the books first, and I will register for you later."

Unexpectedly, when the two of them didn't know how to continue this topic, Ye Fangyu's phone rang.

He Ying and Tang Guoguo walked to the side.

Ye Fangyu on the other side of the bookshelf was very surprised when he heard the words on the phone:

"What? You want me to move to the office in the teaching building? I'm going to finish moving today? But Dean Tan, I'm the only one in the library of the School of Architecture today, and I have to borrow books for the students. Can I move later? "

"What? Ask students for help? But I..."

As she was talking, He Ying had already dragged Tang Guoguo to wipe another bookshelf.
