Concentricity

Seeing his liking, Mo Jinyan became more and more proud, and pointed out to Yu Simian one by one like a few treasures: "This is a building ship, this is a fighting ship, this is Mengchong, and this is a three-masted ship... here are some of them. My grandfather and my dad did it, and some of it I did."

Yu Simian suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, as if he couldn't hear Mo Jinyan's words: "Can I have a look?"

Mo Jinyan took out a medium-sized ship model: "This is called a sea falcon ship. I made it myself. Brother Yu, take a look."

Yu Simian excitedly held the model boat in his palm, looked at it carefully from top to bottom, inside and out, and praised: "Xiao Mo, did you really do this? It's really amazing."

Mo Jinyan was getting shy, very few people praised him like that, his father would say "it's okay" at most, but now Yu Simian praised him, which made it hard for him to restrain the joy and excitement in his heart: "Brother Yu, you like it very much Is it a model ship?"

Yu Simian paused: "To be precise, I really like big boats."

Mo Jinyan's eyes lit up immediately, as if he had found a confidant: "Really? Brother Yu also likes big boats? I really like big boats too. My father even taught me how to build boats."

Yu Simian stared into his eyes and looked at him: "Then can you make it?"

Mo Jinyan scratched his head: "I have made such a small boat, and the simple fishing boat and passenger boat at home. I have never made such a complicated big boat."

Yu Simian continued to ask: "Why?"

Mo Jinyan smiled: "The government does not allow large ships to go to sea, let alone privately build large ships."

Yu Simian nodded understandingly. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the imperial court issued a general order: "Slabs are not allowed to enter the sea." All maritime activities along the coast, including going out to sea for business and fishing, were all prohibited. All large private ships were also confiscated or destroyed. .Yu Simian always felt that although this ban was a last resort at the beginning, it was not really a wise decision. "If there is an opportunity in the future and you are allowed to build a big ship, will you go?"

Mo Jinyan just wanted to nod, but suddenly remembered something, shook his head and said, "I don't know how to do it."

Yu Simian stared at him for a moment, then sighed: "Yes, after all, a big ship is different from a model." He turned his head and looked carefully at the model ship on the shelf.

Mo Jinyan seemed to be aware of Yu Simian's disappointment, and felt a little uncomfortable. He bit his lower lip, trying to say something, but finally held back.

Yu Simian couldn't put it down for those model boats, Mo Jinyan accompanied him, and brought him a stool, let him sit in front of the cabinet and look at it slowly, while answering some questions Yu Simian asked, such as why the bottom of the boat is pointed instead of flat Yes, what are the two extra planks on both sides of the hull.Mo Jinyan answered one by one. Large sea-going ships are all made according to the shape of Fuchuan. The sharp-bottomed boat has a deep draft, the bow is easy to turn, and the water-covered board on the side of the boat can strengthen the stability of the big boat... Generally speaking.This knowledge is very professional knowledge about large ships, and Yu Simian became more and more sure that Mo Jinyan's father was a shipbuilder, and he came to this fishing village after some accident happened.

One of the two was keen to ask questions, while the other was willing to answer.

Nie Yun came over with the medicine and found that the door was open and the fishing net was hanging on the door, and stopped halfway through mending.I looked around for a couple of times, but I didn't see anyone. I vaguely heard someone talking in the Westinghouse. I guessed that the person was in the Westinghouse, and it was not easy to go in directly, so I let go of my voice and said, "Is Xiaoyan at home?"

When Mo Jinyan heard Nie Yun's voice, he stopped talking with Yu Simian: "Sister Yun should have brought the medicine."

Yu Simian knew that Nie Yun existed. She was Dr. Nie's granddaughter and was often taken care of by her, but she had never met her.Mo Jinyan saw that he was holding the ship model and was unwilling to let go, so he took a model of a sea falcon: "Brother Yu, it's rare to meet someone who also likes big ships, let's make friends, I made this one myself ,gave it to you."

Yu Simian was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Xiao Mo."

Mo Jinyan blushed: "Brother Yu, you're welcome."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly walked out: "Sister Yun, we are at home. Are you here?"

Nie Yun was just taking the medicine bowl out of the small bamboo basket and putting it on the table in the main room: "Xiaoyan, are you messing with your precious boat again?"

Mo Jinyan scratched his head and laughed: "Brother Yu wants to see the model boat I made, sister Yun, please sit down."

Nie Yun was about to sit down when she caught a glimpse of Yu Simian happily coming out of the West Room holding the model boat Mo Jinyan had given him, and stopped.As soon as Yu Simian raised his head, he saw Nie Yun. He stopped the step that was about to step out, stood inside the door, bowed politely towards her, and nodded: "This is Miss Nie. Thank you for your care, Yu is very grateful."

Nie Yun finally saw Yu Simian's true face in Lushan, and she was even more beautiful than she imagined. She was tall and tall, although she was a little weak, but she couldn't hide her handsome appearance. She was more beautiful than anyone she had ever seen, and she was also gentle and polite. He couldn't help but blushed and smiled shyly: "Mr. Yu, you are too polite. It is my duty to help grandfather take care of the sick. What's more, you were rescued by brother Xiaoyan. "

Seeing Nie Yun's reaction from the side, Mo Jinyan thought to himself that Sister Yun must have taken a fancy to Yu Simian, so he couldn't help feeling a little flustered, and quickly turned to look at Yu Simian.Seeing him leaning against the door frame, holding the model boat he had given him in his arms, not looking at Nie Yun, but thanking Nie Yun very politely, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Nie Yun saw the model boat in Yu Simian's hand, and showed a surprised expression: "Young master Yu, why did you take out Xiaoyan's boat? He is being stingy, and it is usually locked so that no one can see it, let alone touch it. .”

Mo Jinyan was exposed by Nie Yun, and it was too late to stop him, so he glanced at Nie Yun angrily, but Nie Yun didn't look at him, but at Yu Simian.Yu Simian looked at the model boat in his arms in surprise, then looked at Mo Jinyan, Mo Jinyan's ears were already red, he touched his ears uncomfortably, turned around to take the medicine bowl, and spoke in a rough voice Said: "Brother Yu, the medicine is cold, come and drink it."

Yu Simian smiled slightly: "Okay." He stepped out to drink the medicine.

Nie Yun covered her mouth and smiled, then rolled up the bamboo basket and bowed slightly: "It's getting late, I should go back to cook, let's go first. Mr. Yu seems to be much better, I'll let my grandfather come back later to see for you Look, see if the dose of the medicine should be reduced."

Yu Simian waved his hands again and again: "I can move now, let Xiao Mo accompany me to your house in a while, I always let Dr. Nie come to the door in person, I feel very sorry."

"Alright." Nie Yun nodded and left with a smile on her face.

Mo Jinyan looked at Nie Yun's slender back as he walked away gracefully, and felt a little panicked for no reason, as if some treasure he treasured was being spied on.He turned his head to look at Yu Simian, Yu Simian just drank the medicine juice in one gulp, put down the bowl, wrinkled his face, and smacked his mouth: "It's so bitter!"

Mo Jinyan hurriedly fetched water for him, thinking, go up and down the net tonight, buy some caramel for him after selling the fish tomorrow, take the candy after taking the medicine, it won’t be bitter, that’s how my father took care of me when I was a child of.

Yu Simian took a sip of water to dilute the smell of medicine in his mouth: "Thank you, Xiao Mo." He shook the model boat in his hand.

Mo Jinyan smiled in embarrassment: "Isn't it said that the sword is given to the hero, so what reward is it for a confidant?"

Yu Simian nodded in praise and said, "Well said! Thankfully Brother Xiao Mo favors it, and I will take good care of it in the future. I will take it with me wherever I go in the future."

Looking at his smiling face, Mo Jinyan couldn't help but feel lost. Yu Simian's injury is gradually recovering, so he is about to leave.After thinking about it again, it's okay to leave, so I won't have such inexplicable strange thoughts.Unable to stop his face from burning, he turned to gather his nets before preparing dinner.

The next day Mo Jinyan went to the market to sell fish.He caught a lot of big fish the night before, and sold them for more than ten yuan more than usual. He happily took the ten copper coins to the candy shop to buy caramel.After buying caramel, hold it carefully in the palm of your hand, and come out happily.When he left the shop, he lowered his head and didn't pay attention. He suddenly bumped into a person who happened to enter the shop. He felt soft and warm, and a strong fragrance came to his nostrils. His eyes blurred and he couldn't see what it was. A woman's voice with a drawn-out pitch was heard: "Hey, damn it, why don't you look at the road when you walk, you deliberately want to take advantage of my mother!"

Mo Jinyan hurriedly took a step back, bent over and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention." Looking at the other party, it turned out to be a beautiful woman in her 30s, wearing a bright blouse, with beads on her head. Flowers, with a thick layer of makeup on her face, and lips painted like a bloody mouth, she looks good, but it's still hard to hide her aging.

The woman covered her nose and mouth with a handkerchief, with a disgusted expression on her face: "Okay, okay, let's go, you are full of fishy smell, can you afford to pay for it?"

Mo Jinyan was originally guilty, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but put on a straight face, and looked at the woman coldly: "It turns out that you only eat and don't pull, and you never go to the latrine."

The woman blinked her eyes twice quickly. Although she didn't realize what Mo Jinyan said, she knew that what he said was definitely not good. She pointed at Mo Jinyan: "You, what do you mean? You actually called me aunt ! Am I that old?!"

Mo Jinyan raised his chin: "It's not interesting, you are popular, isn't it stinky? You have lived for dozens of years, and it is really surprising that you didn't get smoked to death by your own shit." He said I have a bit of a fishy smell on my body, but it will never intoxicate people. The woman in front of me can tell that she is not a good person. When Mo Jinyan is afraid of evil people, it is not Mo Jinyan who is willing to show weakness.

The woman was so angry that her hands were shaking, and the powder on her face was falling down. She bit her lip and stared at Mo Jinyan, as if she was about to burst into flames. She raised her hand several times, wanting to slap someone, but she still held back. Stopped, and finally said angrily to the little girl beside him: "Chunhong, remember it for me, don't let this kid come to our door in the future, he will be beaten out with sticks!"

The little girl in the pink shirt at the side nodded respectfully and replied: "Yes." She raised her head and looked at Mo Jinyan several times, as if she wanted to remember Mo Jinyan's appearance clearly.

Mo Jinyan was baffled, I was sick, why did I come to your door, glanced sideways at the woman, raised her head, and walked away.
