Chapter 71

The curfew in the provincial capital was relatively strict, and it had started since Xu time. Lin Yan closed the stall and went home before the curfew.

On the way home, Lin Yan saw a woman pushing a stroller pass by, and Lin Yan took a special look.

Looks like the carpenter's stroller has sold out.

Zhang Moyuan held his hand, "What's wrong?"

"fine."

For some reason, Lin Yan felt uneasy.

This time the carpenter is not as practical as Tang carpenter, hope there will be no problems.

After all, this is something for kids.

But things didn't go as Lin Yan expected.

When the shop opened the next day, suddenly a few servant-like people rushed over and said fiercely, "Who is the shopkeeper here?"

Brother Linsan immediately pulled Lin Yan behind him, and asked with a vigilant face, "Who are you?"

The servant threw a tattered baby carriage in front of the two of them, "This tattered thing you made caused our young master to fall seriously injured, and I will send you to the government without an explanation."

Lin Yan looked down and found the problem.

Although the stroller in front of him looks exactly like what he drew at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it is quite different.

The board on which it sits has been made three times wider, and the wheels underneath have also been enlarged by a circle, but judging from the broken hole in the middle, it should not be reinforced accordingly.

Lin Yan came out from behind Brother Linsan and asked, "Is this car made by the carpenter shop at the end of the street?"

"The carpenter can say that he made it according to your drawings. Why, do you want to deny it?"

Lin Yan squatted down and looked carefully for a while, then stood up and said, "I drew the original drawing paper, but it doesn't look like this."

After speaking, he glanced at Brother Linsan behind him, Brother Linsan understood, went inside and took out Nuonuo's stroller.

"You should have been modified by a carpenter. What's going on?"

Several servants looked at each other in blank dismay.

They followed Madam's order to arrest Lin Yan, the "mastermind behind the scenes", but Lin Yan's rhetorical question made them dizzy.

"You also asked us what's going on, if it weren't for your broken car, how could my young master fall and get injured?"

Lin Yan thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "How old is your young master this year?"

The servant was at a loss, "Six years old."

Lin Yan understood.

He had never seen a six-year-old in a stroller.

After figuring out the situation, he went to the carpenter's shop with these servants.

"Third brother, prepare first, and open the shop after I come back."

"I'll go with you, I don't worry if you go alone."

"I don't know what's going on over there yet. I can't take Nuonuo there. Third brother, watch him for me."

Brother Linsan could only nod, "Then be careful yourself."

"understood."

In the carpenter's shop.

When Lin Yan came last time, it was just a little messy, but now it's beyond recognition, and the things inside have been smashed into a mess.

A woman was sitting on a chair, she looked like the wife those servants were talking about.

The carpenter stood by, and when he saw Lin Yan, he took half a step back guiltily.

The woman turned her head to look at Lin Yan, frowned slightly and said, "Are you the one who drew the blueprints?"

Lin Yan shook his head, "No."

The woman immediately turned to look at the carpenter. The carpenter hurriedly waved his hands, "He did the drawing. My apprentice can testify that he has a ready-made baby carriage at home. If you don't believe Mrs. Tang, you can send someone to search for it."

Lin Yan said speechlessly: "It is true that I drew the blueprint of the baby carriage, but what I drew is different from what you made. You know it by yourself."

The carpenter was still stubborn, "Whatever is different, I just made it according to your drawings."

Lin Yan looked at Mrs. Tang, and said word by word: "I do have a stroller at home. As long as Mrs. Tang sees it, she will know that it is different. I happened to bring the blueprints with me, and they are here."

As he spoke, he took out the folded drawings from his sleeve and handed them to Mrs. Tang. Mrs. Tang took a look and said angrily, "What's going on?"

Lin Yan had almost figured things out.Probably the young master of the Tang family fell in love with the stroller and wanted to sit on it. The carpenter knew that such a big child couldn't sit on it, so he changed the size without authorization, but the reinforcement didn't keep up, and the young master fell down.

Mrs. Tang came to the door, but the carpenter didn't dare to admit it, so he threw the pot on his head.

Lin Yan: ...

The carpenter was taken aback, "Tang, Mrs. Tang, I really did it according to his drawings, it's none of my business."

Lin Yan nodded, "Okay, since you said so, then report to the official, and I will also settle the account with you for stealing the blueprint."

The carpenter looked at him incredulously.

The reason why he blamed Lin Yan was because he was sure that he was right but he couldn't explain it clearly, but he actually wanted to report it to the authorities.

Wouldn't he be caught and thrown in jail?

Lin Yan said with a smile: "At the beginning, I came to you with the blueprint to order a baby carriage, but you stole my blueprint to sell it, and even modified the size of the baby carriage without authorization, which caused the young master to fall seriously injured.Injury, do you dare to go to the court with me?"

The carpenter murmured for a long time, but he still didn't dare to say a rebuttal.

Lin Yan took back the drawing paper, folded it carefully and put it in his sleeve, then looked at Mrs. Tang, and said indifferently, "Mrs. Tang, I really don't know about the baby carriage. Let me go."

Madam Tang called to him, "Did you really draw this blueprint?"

"yes."

"I see."

Lin Yan turned and left.

After returning, Brother Linsan said nervously, "Yan'er, what's going on?"

Lin Yan briefly explained the matter.

Brother Linsan said angrily: "This carpenter is too disrespectful. It's okay to secretly use your blueprints to make money, but he dares to blame you when something goes wrong. It's unreasonable."

Lin Yan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Forget it, I've settled it all. That Mrs. Tang seems to have no intention of pursuing it. Hurry up and work, the shop is about to open."

Brother Linsan suppressed his anger and responded.

Today's business is much better than yesterday, Lin Yan didn't have time to take a lunch break, so Nuonuo had to sleep in the shop, and Lin Yan made a temporary bed for him.

Without his father to sleep with him, Nuonuo felt aggrieved sleeping alone.

Lin Yan worked until the afternoon, and finally found a free time. He washed his hands, changed his clothes, and went to call Nuonuo.

As soon as entered the room, smelled a lovely milky fragrance, which is from Nuonuo.

"Nuonuo, get up."

There was a slight twist in the small quilt, but there was no sound.

Lin Yan secretly smiled, he seemed to have woken up, but he didn't speak.

"Aren't you awake yet? It's time to get up and drink milk."

Nuonuo moved again, this time much more than before.

"Little pig Nuonuo, get up soon, the milk that Daddy gave you is going to be cold."

A chubby foot suddenly protruded from the quilt.

Lin Yan bent down and hugged Nuonuo, and said with a smile, "So Nuonuo is already awake, why didn't he talk?"

Nuonuo giggled.

Lin Yan took him out to drink milk, and said with a smile, "Daddy is too busy, so he doesn't have time to sleep with Nuonuo. Does Nuonuo feel bored sleeping alone? Or is he afraid?"

Nuonuo immediately said: "Scared."

"afraid of what?"

Nuonuo held back for a long time, and said, "Steal me."

Lin Yan smiled, "Nuonuo is right, but father and third uncle are watching outside, it's okay, bad guys can't get in."

Nuonuo thought again, "It's blown away."

Lin Yan wondered, "What blown away?"

Nuonuo puffed up his cheeks and blew twice.

Lin Yan: "..."

This little fat man really doesn't have a clear understanding of his weight, and you are still blown away by the wind?

He laughed and said: "No, Nuonuo is so important, it won't be blown away by the wind."

Nuonuo laughed, and then patted his own belly, probably thinking that having weight is something to be proud of.

After drinking the milk, Nuonuo's biological clock started, and he took the little shoes he had gone out and asked Lin Yan to wear them for him.

"What are you going to do?"

"Tat-tat."

Lin Yan glanced at the sky, Zhang Moyuan was indeed leaving school soon.

"Are you going to pick up Dad from school?"

"Ok."

Lin Yan deliberately said: "It's windy outside, aren't you worried that the wind will blow you away?"

Nuonuo buried her face in his arms, pretending not to hear.

Lin Yan put the shoes on for him, then took his little hand to wait for Zhang Moyuan at the gate of the academy.

Nuonuo asked Lin Yan for a fruit and put it in a small pouch, and guarded it tightly all the way, for fear that someone would snatch it from him.

Lin Yan originally thought that he wanted to eat, and wanted to make fun of him for taking food for such a short distance, but now that he looked like this, he probably brought it to Zhang Moyuan.

It's quite filial.

Because Lin Yan and Nuonuo would come to pick him up, Zhang Moyuan walked home every day after school, almost every day he was the first one to come out.

Nuonuo ran over excitedly, his two short legs were twitching so fast, his small body was shaking, Lin Yan was afraid that he would fall.

Fortunately, Zhang Moyuan caught him in time.

Nuonuo yelled, "Tat-tat."

Zhang Moyuan responded, and said with a smile, "Did Nuonuo drink milk just now? He ran so fast."

Nuonuo pokes his stomach, which means that all the milk he drinks is here.

Zhang Moyuan was amused by him.

Jiang Tianzong poked Nuonuo's bulging purse, and said with a smile, "Nuonuo, is this something you brought for Uncle Jiang?"

Nuonuo hurriedly hugged the purse in his arms, "Tat-tat."

Jiang Tianzong continued to tease him, "Don't you have Uncle Jiang's share? Uncle Jiang has been studying hard for a day."

Nuonuo desperately defended, "No."

He Qi and Zhu Wenwen were right behind them. Although He Qi got married but had no children yet, Zhu Wenwen did have a child.

His child is five years old this year, but he has hardly been close to his own child, and he rarely speaks on weekdays.

In my impression, his child has never been as lively as Nuonuo, and every time he sees him, he is submissive.

He Qi pushed him, "Brother Zhu, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Wenwen shook his head, "It's nothing."

He Qi smiled, "Aren't you staring at him, and I am too. It's really different to have a wife and children by my side."

Zhu Wenwen didn't speak.

He Qi didn't pay much attention, he walked up to Jiang Tianzong, greeted Lin Yan with a smile.

"I ate the barbecue brought by brother Zhang yesterday. I should have come to thank you, but I didn't find the opportunity due to my heavy studies. I'm really sorry."

Lin Yan smiled, "It's okay, you are my Moyuan's classmates, if you want to eat barbecue from now on, you can come to the shop."

After a pause, he suddenly remembered that Zhang Moyuan's classmates hadn't been formally entertained yet, so he asked Zhang Moyuan: "Mo Yuan, we are here today, shall we entertain your two classmates?"

Zhang Moyuan nodded, "OK."

Then he looked at He Qi and Zhu Wenwen, "Are you free for a treat?"

He Qi hesitated for a moment, "I'm free, but Brother Zhu may have to go back to study."

When there were only him and Zhu Wenwen in Class A, he invited him several times, but was rejected because he wanted to go back to study.

Zhu Wenwen is a person who puts reading first.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Wenwen nodded this time, "It's disrespectful."

He Qi glanced at him in surprise, and joked, "Brother Zhu agreed, it seems that Brother Zhang is more face-saving."

Zhu Wenwen glanced at Lin Yan, but said nothing.

After agreeing, several people walked to Lin's shop together.

On the way, Nuonuo took the fruit out of her purse, and was about to stuff it into Zhang Moyuan's mouth, when the fruit came out of her hand and rolled away on the ground.

Lin Yan took two quick steps and picked up the fruit.

Nuonuo stretched out her little paw towards him, and Lin Yan put the fruit on it. Just as she was about to remind her to go home and wash before eating, she saw Nunuuo handing the fruit to Zhang Moyuan's mouth.

Zhang Moyuan: "..."

Lin Yan: "..."

Big filial son.

Seeing his father not moving, Nuonuo thought he would not eat, so he opened his mouth to show his father, "Ah..."

Zhang Moyuan: "..."

He coughed, "Daddy has a stomachache and can't eat fruit, give it to Uncle Jiang."

Jiang Tianzong: "..."

Nuonuo was still a bit reluctant, hesitated for a while, Jiang Tianzong took the opportunity and ran to the back.

"Do you have a stomachache?"

Zhang Moyuan nodded, "It hurts."

Nuonuo thought for a while, and then began to break Zhang Moyuan's mouth.

Lin Yan couldn't help laughing, "Nuonuo, Daddy has a stomachache, so don't give it to him."

Afraid that Nuonuo would be eaten by himself, Lin Yan specially added, "Daddy also has a stomachache."

Nuonuo said earnestly: "Guoguo let go, it hurts to fly..."

He murmured a series of words, and Lin Yan thought about it carefully before he understood, "He may want to say, let you put it in your mouth first, and then eat it after the stomach pain is gone."

Zhang Moyuan smiled helplessly.

He Qi was surprised and said: "Nuonuo is so young, but he is already so smart. It's true that the tiger father has no dogs."

Nuonuo really couldn't open his father's mouth, and got angry. Seeing the uncle boasting about himself, he generously handed him the fruit, wanting to give him to eat.

He Qi: "..."

Jiang Tianzong hid behind him and ate melons until he died laughing.

Zhang Moyuan glanced at He Qi, and He Qi came over and honestly picked up the fruit.

"Thank you Nuonuo. Uncle is reluctant to eat it, so I will save it and eat it when I get home."

Nuonuo nodded happily, very satisfied with this uncle's way.

In order to entertain He Qi and Zhu Wenwen, Lin Yan closed the shop early and opened a table in the shop.

The dishes served are naturally barbecue, after all, the meat skewers and vegetables are ready-made, and there is no time to buy anything else.

Zhang Moyuan wanted to come to help, but Lin Yan pushed him back, "Mo Yuan, go talk to your classmates, don't leave the guests alone."

Zhang Moyuan didn't care too much and said, "It's okay, there is Jiang Tianzong."

Lin Yan glanced at Nuonuo who was moving back and forth in Lin Sange's arms, and said with a smile, "Go and look at Nuonuo, Sange can't hold him anymore."

Zhang Moyuan then went back to sit.

Lin Yan specially cooked a meatball soup for Nuonuo today. He estimated that the time would be around the corner, so he said to Zhang Moyuan, "Mo Yuan, Nuonuo's meatball soup is ready."

Zhang Moyuan responded, then put Nuonuo on Lin Sange's lap, got up and went to the clay stove to bring over the meatball soup.

Neither He Qi nor Zhu Wenwen found it strange, but Zhu Wenwen took a special look at Lin Yan who was joking with Jiang Tianzong.

Before getting to know Lin Yan, like most men, he looked down on his brother very much.

Never thought that there are brothers like Lin Yan in the world.

Lin Yan sensed his scrutiny and looked over suspiciously, but Zhu Wenwen had already lowered his head.

Lin Yan didn't care too much, he just took it as his own illusion.

After finishing the barbecue, Lin Yan sat beside Zhang Moyuan and listened to them quietly. He couldn't understand what some scholars were talking about.

Nuonuo ate the meatballs in his arms, Lin Yan made the meatballs into a mess, crushed them for him, and let him grab a small spoon and put them into his mouth.

Lin Yan occasionally helped out by the side, so as not to send him into the nose.

Zhu Wenwen, who hadn't spoken much all this time, suddenly said, "Brother Zhang and Madam have read?"

Lin Yan smiled, "It's not counted as having read books, but I just read some of them casually, and they were all taught by Moyuan."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Moyuan, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Did the reclamation of the sea also read from the book?"

"Well, most of the details are actually done by Moyuan. He has read a lot of books on water conservancy. Without him, reclamation of seas and land reclamation would not be possible."

Lin Yan knew that Zhang Moyuan kept saying that he was only doing things for him outside, so whenever he had a chance, he would say that it was Zhang Moyuan's credit.

The fact is true, he just knows some theories, and the practice depends entirely on Zhang Moyuan.

He Qi said with emotion: "In the past, I thought Brother Zhang was lucky enough to be born in Jiahe Village by the sea, but now it seems that even if I am in Jiahe Village, it is not up to me to build fields from the sea."

As far as water conservancy is concerned, he has never been in contact with it, let alone farming.

Jiang Tianzong also said: "No, I am so close to the sea, but I have never thought of farming by the sea, and it is not my turn."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhu Wenwen and chatted casually: "Brother Zhu, if you were by the sea, would you think of it?"

Zhu Wenwen shook his head.

In fact, what he thought in his heart was that he must be able to think of it.

Jiang Tianzong smiled and said, "So, it can only be Moyuan and Lin Yan, and no one can be replaced."

Lin Yan brought him a few skewers of meat, "It's not as exaggerated as you said. If you lived in Jiahe Village for more than ten or twenty years, maybe you were the ones who built the land from the sea."

Zhu Wenwen glanced at him again.

Lin Yan didn't notice, but Zhang Moyuan saw it. He stared at Zhu Wenwen coldly for a while, as if confirming his thoughts.

Zhu Wenwen lowered his head and didn't dare to look again.

Lin Yan was a little tired, so he put Nuonuo on Zhang Moyuan's lap.

There was only one mouthful of Nuonuo left, and couldn't eat it after picking it up with a small spoon for a long time. was so anxious that almost put the bowl on face.

Zhang Moyuan took his bowl and lowered his head to feed him.

Only then did Zhu Wenwen heave a sigh of relief.

The short maneuver did not attract the attention of other people at the table, and He Qi asked some questions about reclamation of seas and land, and Lin Yan answered some questions carefully.

After talking about reclamation from the sea, Lin Yan asked them about the academy, "Can your academy send food in?"

Jiang Tianzong understood immediately, "Do you want to bring food in?"

"Well, I have this idea."

He had discussed it with Zhang Moyuan before, and Zhang Moyuan did not object, and also said that it would not affect his studies.

He Qi was not sure, "I don't know if the head of the mountain will object."

"What if I don't go in and just deliver the food to the gate of the academy?"

"That's not bad. As long as we send a few people to pick it up, the head of the mountain should not object."

The lunch at noon was provided by the academy for free, so even though many students brought their own meals every day, the academy never said anything.

As long as the reading environment is not dirty, generally no one cares.

Lin Yan said happily, "Then I'll ask tomorrow."

Jiang Tianzong took the initiative: "Tomorrow, I will also ask for you. If I have a plan, I will write a list and come back to you."

He Qi also said: "I can also help."

Zhu Wenwen wanted to agree out of courtesy, but after looking at Zhang Moyuan, he still didn't speak.

"Thank you, if you want to eat barbecue in the future, come to the shop, and I will make it for you."

The next day Lin Yan met a student from the academy and asked tentatively, but the feedback was not bad.

It can be seen how much these students dislike the food in the academy.

Lin Yan simply developed a student set meal, two barbecues, one vegetable and one white rice. The price is six yuan cheaper than buying alone, and it is exclusively for college students.

In the future, other dishes will be added later.

Lin Yan originally thought that Jiang Tianzong was just talking casually, but he actually wrote him a list when he came back from school.

Although there were not many people on the reservation, Lin Yan was still very happy, and specially made Jiang Tianzong a small portion of salted raw crab as a thank you.

Zhang Moyuan came out of the shower and saw Lin Yan lying on the table writing and drawing, so he walked up to him and sat down, "What are you writing?"

"Write some food combinations specially for your academy, the price is cheaper than buying them alone."

Zhang Moyuan came over to take a look, and said with a smile, "That's a good idea, but people in the academy generally prefer light food, so we can add less meat and more vegetables."

Lin Yan nodded, and made some adjustments according to what Zhang Moyuan said.

There are mainly four kinds of set meals he is writing now, BBQ set meal, hot pot set meal, ribs set meal, fried shrimp set with salted egg yolk, and an extra glass of lemonade will be given when ordering set meals.

It can be said to be very affordable.

Each set meal has two flavors: spicy and non-spicy. You can choose the degree of spiciness. In addition to the main meat, two vegetables will be added.

After Lin Yan finished writing, he pondered for a while and waited for the ink to dry before going to bed.

Nuonuo had fallen asleep a long time ago, lying on her back in a big font, stretched all over her body.

Tossing and turning at night, sleeping from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed is common.

Because of him, Zhang Moyuan could only sleep next to the bed every day.

Lin Yan poked his chubby face lightly, and said helplessly, "I'll get a small bed some other day and put him to sleep alone."

Zhang Moyuan smiled and said, "He may not be willing."

"Then wait for him to fall asleep and move him there."

"I think so."

Lin Yan just said this casually. After all, he hadn't found a suitable carpenter's shop yet, so he didn't expect the crib to come the next day.

Lin Yan was busy with the skewers in his hand, without raising his head, he asked, "What do you want?"

"Boss Lin, my master wants to negotiate a deal with you."

Lin Yan immediately raised his head, and there was a middle-aged man standing opposite the grill, followed by a man in brocade, who was the "Master" he was talking about.

"What deal?"

"Mrs. Tang is my master's wife. I just met you a few days ago."

Lin Yan nodded, "Could it be that you are..."

"Mrs. Tang is my master's wife."

Lin Yan had a certain guess in his mind, and the next moment he heard the housekeeper of the Tang family say: "My wife mentioned your drawing paper after returning home. Our master is very interested and wants to talk to you about the pram deal."

it is as expected.

Because of the previous incident, Lin Yan is very vigilant now, "I don't know if you can know a suitable carpenter who can't make the baby carriage the same as before."

The butler nodded, "Boss Lin, please rest assured that our young master's foot is still injured, and we know the seriousness."

Lin Yan was still not at ease, "Can you please make a few samples for me to see, and only sell them if they pass the test."

The housekeeper turned to look at Master Tang, who nodded, "Yes."

"When my husband comes back, I will sign a contract with you, and I will present the drawings after signing."

Lin Yan still kept an eye out, and when Zhang Moyuan came back to write down the terms, even if something went wrong later, there would be a guarantee.

Master Tang smiled and said, "I don't know if Boss Lin has other blueprints in his hand?"

Lin Yan's eyes lit up, "How about the crib?"

"Crib? Is it a bed for children?"

"yes."

"Boss Lin, can you draw it for us to take a look?"

"no problem."

The author has something to say:

Nuonuo: From now on, the fruit that falls on the ground will not be eaten by daddy, hum!

Zhang Moyuan: cough cough

Lin Yan: Don't give it to Dad either

Nuonuo: hum (gas into a ball)
