No way, my daughter is really going to sell scrap?!
It's probably just for the show effect.
I think so too. After all, compared to the other groups, the group of Lin Cheng and Lin Momo really has no highlights.
I just checked and there is no scrap yard nearby. How can I sell it
This is not something we should consider. I guess the program team has already arranged it.
Maybe when the camera switches in a while, Lin Momo will have already arrived at the scrap yard.
It's also possible that a 'kind passing car' would come and take Lin Momo there.
…
Watching the discussion among the audience in the live broadcast room, the people from the program crew were complaining: Lin Cheng's group didn't even have a complete script, so where did the designed scrap buying segment come from
They are not responsible for this!
They also don’t have the budget to arrange a vehicle to take Lin Momo to the scrap yard!

Here, Lin Momo had already dragged a cart of waste onto the main road. The cameraman from the director's crew followed Lin Momo from a distance, without attracting the attention of passers-by.
The small figure was dragging a large cart of waste walking on the road in broad daylight, making him particularly conspicuous.
Lin Momo was already used to the surprised looks from passers-by, so she didn't care.
Lin Momo arrived in front of the station and stared at the station sign for a long time.
The nearest large recycling station is on Fengtan Road. There is no direct bus from here, but Mrs. Zhang told her the route to get there in the morning.
At this time, the "Rui Xin Street" on the license plate of bus No. 37 is a place that Lin Momo will pass by, 5 stops away from here.
Lin Momo stopped in front of the platform.
A few minutes later, bus No. 37 arrived at the station.
Just when many viewers in the live broadcast room thought that Lin Momo would get on the No. 37 bus arranged by the program team, they saw that Lin Momo did not move and was still standing at the bus stop.
"Do you want to get on the bus?" The bus driver shouted to Lin Momo at the bus stop through the front door.
Lin Momo shook her head.
The bus door closed, Lin Momo kept staring at the bus as it drove away, and then took note of the direction the bus went.
Lin Momo started walking along the roadside in the direction of the bus.
When she arrived at the next station, Lin Momo looked at the sign again to make sure she was not going the wrong way.
If she encountered a fork in the road and didn't know which way to go, Lin Momo would wait there and watch for another No. 37 bus to pass by.
After going back and forth like this for an hour and a half, Lin Momo finally arrived at her first destination: Ruixin Street.
On the bus stop sign, Lin Momo quickly found her destination, 'Fengtan Road', on another bus stop sign.
Lin Momo used the same method as before and started walking towards Fengtan Road following the direction of bus No. 101.
Although this method is stupid and slow, it is effective and can ensure that she will not go wrong.

In the live broadcast room, it was rare to see the screen filled with barrages of comments.
Oh my god! Lin Momo is actually walking all the time!
Do we really have to go to the scrap yard?!
During this period of time, most of the viewers did not leave the live broadcast room, so they watched Lin Momo walk for nearly three hours.
They are not blind and are very sure that there is no falsification, black screen or editing in the process.
It's unbelievable that such a young child walked for three hours.
The program crew is really going too far. Even for the sake of the show’s effects, they shouldn’t let a child go so far.
Why does it feel like the other groups are living the lives of celebrities, while the Lin Cheng family is just living the lives of mortals
I even suspect that Lin Cheng's group has offended the program crew, otherwise why would they be so miserable, living in the worst house, doing the hardest work, and having their babies to work with them.
…
Lin Momo didn’t know about the discussion in the live broadcast room.
At this time, towing the trailer behind her, Lin Momo was memorizing the route while thinking in her mind that after the filming was over and she got the 20,000 yuan, her family would also buy a trailer like this.
Another hour passed, and Lin Momo finally found the sign of Fengtan Lane not far from the bus station on Fengtan Road.
It was noon and there were not many people around the alley.
In front of a small pond, five or six old men and women were "washing" the cardboard boxes in their hands.
Seeing them, Lin Momo knew she had found the right place.
The other people noticed Lin Momo and saw the waste on the trailer behind her, and their eyes lit up.
"Kid, do you still want those things? Don't give them to me, I'll help you throw them away." One of them said to Lin Momo.
Seeing Lin Momo shaking her head, the man quickly said, "I won't take advantage of you. I'll give you 5 yuan. Give me your things."
Hearing this, Lin Momo shook her head firmly again, pulled her things and ran into the alley without looking back, muttering, "I'm not stupid."
When she reached the end of the road, Lin Momo saw the scrap yard that Old Lady Zhang had mentioned.
Seeing the boss sitting at the door, Lin Momo towed the trailer in front of him.
When the boss saw the little kid dragging a cart full of waste to buy, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Are you here to sell scrap?" asked the boss.
Lin Momo nodded.
Seeing this, the boss pointed to the scale next to him and said to Lin Momo, "Take your things down and put them there so I can weigh them for you."
Lin Momo didn't move, but asked the boss: "What's the price here?"
The boss rolled his eyes and casually quoted the price: "One dollar for paperboard, and one dollar and fifty cents for bottles and cans."
Hearing this, Lin Momo frowned: "Your price is too low, I won't sell it to you."
After saying that, Lin Momo looked like she was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." The boss stopped Lin Momo and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? You'll have to sell all this stuff if you drag it somewhere else. Why don't you just sell it here? I can negotiate the price."
"Tell me, how much do you want to sell it for?" the boss asked Lin Momo again.
"Cardboard is 1.2 yuan per pound, cans are 2 yuan per pound, transparent bottles are 1.8 yuan per pound, and colored bottles are 1.5 yuan per pound." Lin Momo quoted the price.
Hearing this, the boss showed some surprise on his face.
—Originally, he thought that this kid was probably helping his family sell scraps and didn't know anything. Unexpectedly, he was actually an "expert" and the price he quoted was basically the highest price in this business.
The boss seemed to want to lower the price, and at this time, the boss's wife came out.
"The liquid gas is running low. Where's the gas you ordered?" asked the proprietress.
"I just made a phone call, it will be here soon," said the boss.
The proprietress didn't say anything, but asked again: "What's going on here? Why does it take so long to weigh?"
"I haven't weighed them yet," the boss pointed at Lin Momo and said, "This kid's stuff, paperboard is 1.2 yuan, cans are 2 yuan, bottles are 1.8 yuan and 1.5 yuan."
After hearing what the boss said, the boss's wife looked at Lin Momo and showed the same expression as the boss. However, she did not hesitate and said, "Then let's buy it at this price. We won't lose money."
"Okay." The boss agreed, and then said to Lin Momo: "For the price you mentioned, bring the item over to weigh."
"Okay." Lin Momo quickly worked with the boss to take the waste off the cart.
Lin Momo pointed at several bundles and said to the boss one by one: "This is the cans, this is the colored bottles, this is the transparent bottles, the water inside is all clear, the bottle caps are here separately. And this pile is dry cardboard, and here are some cardboards that are a little damp, I put them into a separate bundle."
The boss was surprised to see that Lin Momo had already sorted and processed all the waste.
This kid handled these things well. He was much more honest than those people who came to sell scrap and stuffed wet garbage between the cardboard.
The boss smiled and weighed the things Lin Momo brought one by one.
"The cans are three and a half pounds, the transparent plastic bottles are three pounds and two ounces, the colored plastic bottles are five pounds and eight ounces, the dry waste paper is four pounds, and the wet waste is more than two pounds and eight ounces. I'll give you a discount and charge it at one and a half pounds."
"Two plus three equals six, two plus five equals ten... the total is twenty-eight dollars and six cents. I give you twenty-eight dollars..."
Before the boss could even finish his sentence, Lin Momo replied, "Fifty cents!"
Meeting the girl's expectant gaze, the boss smiled and said, "Okay, fifty cents is fine."
The junk this kid dragged in was real enough, so it wouldn't be a loss to give him a few cents more.
The boss counted out 28.5 yuan from his waist bag and handed it to Lin Momo.
"Thank you, boss and boss lady." Lin Momo took the money and thanked the scrap station owner and his wife.
Holding the money, Lin Momo happily prepared to go home.
At this moment, an 'accident' happened.
"Lin Momo!"
This is Lin Cheng's voice.
Lin Momo felt a chill on her back when she heard Lin Cheng calling her unexpectedly. She froze in place, not daring to look back.
I didn't understand why Lin Cheng appeared here.
At this time, the live broadcast room also became lively:
Oh no.
Oh no.
Oh no.
Lin Momo: I’m going to be in trouble.
Lin Momo: I was discovered doing private work.
Lin Momo: Dad finally wants to know how much I have contributed to this family.
…
In addition to those who were just watching the fun, some people in the live broadcast room also raised questions: This is too much of a coincidence, could it be that the program team deliberately arranged it
Looking at their expressions, I don't think they look alike? Someone argued.
—
This is indeed a coincidence.
Lin Cheng was originally going to deliver an appointment order to the nearby Wufang Community, but he happened to receive an instant order from the waste recycling station in Fengtan Lane.
Lin Cheng saw a familiar figure from a distance.
Initially, Lin Cheng didn’t believe that it was Lin Momo. After all, logically speaking, the child should be staying at home and doing homework.
It was not until he got closer and heard Lin Momo bargaining with the scrap yard owner that Lin Cheng was finally sure that he was not mistaken.
In order to make it easier to collect waste, Lin Momo changed into dirty clothes today. In addition, her hair was sweaty and messy from walking all the way. At this moment, the child looked like someone picked up on the roadside.
—It’s not yours, it’s not yours.
Lin Cheng muttered to himself twice in his heart before he finally suppressed his anger and walked towards Lin Momo as calmly as possible.
