As soon as Lin Momo was picked up by Lin Cheng, she woke up instantly from her sleepiness.
"Dad." Lin Momo called Lin Cheng subconsciously, a little panicked.
"Go to sleep." Lin Cheng's voice was low and slow, as if it had the magic power to soothe people's hearts.
Lin Momo shook her head and insisted, "I'm not sleepy."
"I can go on my own..."
Hearing this, Lin Cheng did not put Lin Momo down, but reminded her: "Sleep well, be careful not to fall if you shake again."
At this time, Lin Cheng was holding Lin Momo in one hand and dragging the delivery box with the other hand, which was not easy.
After hearing what Lin Cheng said, Lin Momo finally stopped moving.
Thinking of something, Lin Momo said, "Then I'll sleep for a while. When we get back to our store, if I'm not awake, can you please wake me up, Dad?"
"do what?"
"I still have some cards that haven't been finished." Lin Momo was planning to hand out some of their ordering cards on the street tomorrow, so she would continue to make some more cards before returning.
"Yeah." Lin Cheng responded.
"Be sure to wake me up."
"Okay, I'll call you when we get there. Go to sleep."
"Well, okay."
After getting Lin Cheng's assurance, Lin Momo nodded with relief.
However, when Lin Momo saw the cameraman following them not far away through Lin Cheng's shoulder, her face suddenly turned red and she felt a little embarrassed.
As if she was afraid that others would see that she had grown so big and wanted to be hugged, Lin Momo shrank her head and buried her face in Lin Cheng's shoulder in an attempt to hide her identity.
However, the next second, Lin Momo started laughing foolishly again and rubbed her face hard on Lin Cheng's clothes.
Lin Cheng didn't know about Lin Momo's little actions, but he could feel his daughter's dependence on him.
This discovery made Lin Cheng couldn't help but smile.
…
In Lin Cheng's arms, Lin Momo, who was so sleepy that she couldn't tell the directions before, suddenly wasn't sleepy at all. She lay on Lin Cheng, humming the theme song of "Living with Dad" intermittently, and her legs shook a few times in coordination.
In response, Lin Cheng smiled but did not interrupt Lin Momo.
It wasn't until the tune that Lin Momo's humming started to go out of tune that Lin Cheng knew that this girl was probably starting to feel sleepy.
Of course, after a while, Lin Momo completely calmed down, and the girl's even breathing showed that she was already fast asleep.
Lin Cheng subconsciously slowed down his pace.
It took 15 minutes to come here, but on the way back, because of the "weight" of Lin Momo, Lin Cheng walked for more than 20 minutes to get there.
—
Back in the store, Lin Cheng put Lin Momo down.
As soon as she was put on the chair, Lin Momo woke up.
"Hmm? Are we there yet?" Lin Momo asked sleepily.
"Well, now we're here. Let's wash up and go to bed." Lin Cheng said to Lin Momo.
At this time, Lin Momo was completely sleepy and had completely forgotten about making the order card.
Hearing Lin Cheng's words, Lin Momo nodded. Although she looked dazed, she obediently took her toiletries and went to the door to wash up.
After taking a look at Lin Momo who didn't need his help, Lin Cheng retracted his gaze, walked into the kitchen, and began to clean up the pots and dishes in the kitchen. He also washed and processed the ingredients for the spring festival that the boy had delivered in the afternoon, and put them in the freezer.
…
After finishing the work in the kitchen, Lin Cheng came to the attic.
At this time, the night light at the head of Lin Momo's bed was still on, but she had already fallen asleep in her bed.
Looking at Lin Momo sleeping, the look in Lin Cheng's eyes softened a little.
Lin Cheng walked to Lin Momo's bed and unconsciously raised his hand to rub the girl's forehead.
This action seemed to make Lin Momo a little uncomfortable. Lin Momo pouted in her sleep, and raised her hand to pull Lin Cheng's hand away with some displeasure.
Lin Cheng smiled softly, put his hand away, and stopped disturbing Lin Momo's sleep.
Raising his hand to turn off the night light beside Lin Momo's bed, Lin Cheng turned around and went downstairs.
After coming out of the shop, Lin Cheng went straight to the small van parked in the alley beside the street.
Looking at the van in front of him that was about to fall apart at the slightest touch, Lin Cheng felt a bit of a headache. However, after secretly sighing, Lin Cheng took out the car keys provided by the program crew and walked forward to open the car door.
Looking at Lin Cheng's actions, many viewers in the live broadcast room were puzzled:
I thought today's live broadcast was over and was ready to quit, but I didn't expect it to be over!
What is Lin Cheng doing in this van
Yeah, it’s so late...
Is he planning to drive out
Where are you going so late
That’s right, and is this car sure to be able to be driven
Watching other viewers' discussions, someone soon guessed something: Lin Cheng was trying to fix the car, wasn't he?!
What? No way!
…
Lin Cheng did decide to try to repair the car.
Seeing Lin Cheng open the hood of the car and start checking it, the comments section immediately went wild:
No way! He really wants to move this car?!
Don’t!
Mr. Lin, stop it!
This car looks almost like a scrapped car. If you move it, you might make some money.
That's right. This car costs money to fill up the gas tank, repair it, maintain and change the oil. If it suddenly breaks down on the road, you have to pay for a tow truck and you may even have to pay a lot of fines!
I fully suspect that this car was placed there by the program crew to commit fraud. Whoever touches it will be in trouble.
This is a trap! Dad Lin, please don't jump into it!
…
Lin Cheng could naturally think of what the audience in the live broadcast room were worried about.
In fact, Lin Cheng had no intention of moving the car at first.
The car could be left there, and if Lin Cheng did not move it, he would not need to take any extra responsibility for the car. They only needed to complete the 2,100 yuan task set by the program team this week.
But once the car is moved, the repair costs and other potential expenses are likely to be much greater than expected.
However, thinking of Lin Momo's surprised and expectant expression when she saw the car, Lin Cheng decided to give it a try.
—
Lin Cheng checked the car inside and out and only started the fire after confirming that there was no problem.
The car could barely start.
At this time, Lin Cheng looked at the dashboard: there were only two and a half bars of gasoline in the tank, the engine oil was also usable, and the engine temperature was quickly approaching the warning line, but the fault light was not on, so it should be able to start...
Finally, Lin Cheng added water to the water tank and found a way to fix the parts of the car that were about to fall apart. After making sure that the car could be driven on the road safely, he drove the car to the nearest 24-hour maintenance center.
Seeing the old car driven by Lin Cheng, the mechanic at the maintenance center was surprised. However, he still conducted a comprehensive inspection of the car for Lin Cheng in a very professional manner.
Looking at the inspection results, the maintenance worker frowned.
"There's something wrong with the water circulation in your car's radiator. The spark plugs need to be replaced. The oil is burning. There must be something clogged somewhere. We need to take it apart and have a look..."
The mechanic read out a series of problems, looked at Lin Cheng and said sincerely: "Although they are not serious problems and can be fixed immediately, all these problems will cost at least six or seven thousand to repair. To be honest, your car must be 20 years old, and the replacement price is only 2,000 yuan. It's not worth spending thousands to repair it."
"Are you sure you want to repair it?" The maintenance worker asked Lin Cheng again for confirmation.
Hearing this, Lin Cheng nodded: "Fix it."
After that, Lin Cheng took the inspection problem list from the maintenance worker and read it through. He deleted some of the parts that did not need to be repaired, leaving only a few major items that had to be repaired.
Seeing Lin Cheng's insistence, the maintenance worker had no choice but to nod and called several other maintenance workers to start repairing together.
…
After waiting for three hours, the maintenance workers at the maintenance center finally solved the major problems, spending a total of 4,350 yuan.
There were some minor problems left that did not affect driving, and in order to save money, Lin Cheng decided to do it himself.
This time, Lin Cheng was more meticulous than the previous repairmen. He installed the detached manual window glass and readjusted the door that could not be closed... Then, Lin Cheng carefully checked the seats in the car. After making sure that the seats were safe, Lin Cheng drove away from the maintenance center.
It was already one o'clock in the morning when Lin Cheng parked the car and returned to the store.
Walking past the cashier counter at the door, Lin Cheng saw the half-finished card of Lin Momo on the counter. He stopped and finished the remaining half of the card according to what Lin Momo had written before.
…
Lin Momo had no idea what Lin Cheng did that night while she was sleeping.
The next day, when Lin Momo got up, she saw a pile of finished cards on the cash register and was a little confused.
"I clearly only have half of it left to do..." Lin Momo muttered softly.
It was not until she recognized that the handwriting on the other half of the card was Lin Cheng's that Lin Momo reacted and ran to Lin Cheng who was busy in the kitchen in surprise.
"Dad, did you help me finish all these?" Lin Momo asked Lin Cheng.
"Yeah." Lin Cheng nodded.
“Thank you, Dad!”
After a pause, Lin Momo asked Lin Cheng again: "Can I go to some places outside the street to hand out small cards today?"
Lin Cheng looked up and met Lin Momo's expectant eyes. Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay."
However, this time, Lin Cheng was worried about leaving Lin Momo alone, so he added, "Wait until I finish dealing with these, and then we can do it together."
"good."
Lin Momo helped Lin Cheng to clean the kitchen and the dining area outside, and finished the preparations before going out to distribute small cards to some nearby communities and streets outside Liuming Street.
With the experience from the previous time, this time, Lin Momo sent out the meal order cards much faster than before - before noon, she had sent out all the cards she had prepared.
At noon, just like the previous two days, more than a dozen tables of customers came to the restaurant one after another.
After seeing off the last table of guests, Lin Momo began to wait expectantly for guests to come and place orders with her phone in her hand.
-With the previous repeat customers, plus the new customers brought in by the new batch of meal order cards being sent out, Lin Momo was almost always answering the phone throughout the afternoon, and the total number of orders was three times more than before.
In the store.
Looking at the thick stack of orders and the three large stacks of takeaway boxes prepared by Lin Cheng, Lin Momo finally realized the severity of their upcoming delivery task.
"Dad... with so many orders, will we be able to deliver them all?" Lin Momo frowned and asked worriedly.
"No," Lin Cheng said affirmatively, paused, and then said: "We will drive you there today."
When Lin Cheng said "car", Lin Momo's expression lit up: "Driving? Are you talking about the car we own?"
"Yeah." Lin Cheng nodded.
"Let's go, take these lunch boxes to the car, and then we'll set off."
"good!"
—
The two of them came to the alley where the car was parked, looked at their own car in front of them, and thought that they would be able to drive out in their own car soon, and Lin Momo felt excited.
After putting the lunch box away, without waiting for Lin Cheng to speak, Lin Momo had already very 'consciously' jumped into the car, fastened her seat belt herself, and sat in the car obediently.
Looking at Lin Momo's delighted expression, Lin Cheng curled the corners of his mouth.
Unlike his daughter's excitement, Lin Cheng appeared very calm on the surface and didn't let Lin Momo know that before this, he spent almost half the night repairing the car.
Of course, in order not to hurt his money-grubber self, Lin Cheng did not tell her that they spent a total of four thousand yuan to repair the car.
…
Driving is much faster than walking.
The two soon arrived at the first delivery location.
This is a printing shop on the street. The owner ordered three box lunches from Lin Cheng and Lin Momo's shop.
Lin Cheng drove the car to the black-lined parking area in front of the printing shop and parked it. Lin Momo took the three-pack lunch boxes that were numbered in advance and got out of the car to deliver them to the store.
The printing shop owner took the lunch box from Lin Momo and subconsciously looked at the time, feeling a little surprised.
"You guys delivered on time today." The boss smiled at Lin Momo.
She also ordered three box lunches from this store yesterday, but they were delivered more than ten minutes later than the time she ordered.
Now, the meal was not only delivered on time, but also a few minutes earlier than the scheduled time.
Hearing the boss' words, Lin Momo smiled back and explained, "Because we have a car now, the food can be delivered quickly."
As she spoke, Lin Momo pointed proudly at the car they were driving.
In the car, looking at Lin Momo's timid appearance, Lin Cheng secretly laughed, but he did not regret repairing the car the day before.
…
With the help of this van, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo's delivery speed was much faster. Before 9 o'clock in the evening, the two had delivered all the orders.
On the second day, after becoming familiar with the route, they ran even faster.
After delivering the order, it was only eight o'clock in the evening when the two returned to the restaurant.
On the way back home, Lin Momo couldn't wait to start calculating in her little account book while sitting in the car.
"Today we spent 1,350 yuan on groceries. We had 11 tables of guests at noon, and collected a total of 1,573 yuan. In the evening, we sold 134 boxes of lunch, which is 1,340 yuan..."
"dad!"
"Is it over?" Lin Cheng looked down at Lin Momo and asked.
"Yeah," Lin Momo nodded, and said a little excitedly: "I've done the math. Today, after deducting the capital, we made a total of 960 yuan!"
This was the most money they had earned this week. Lin Momo had never thought that she could earn so much money in one day.
Unlike Lin Momo's excitement, Lin Cheng seemed very calm about this income.
"Get out of the car." After parking the car in the alley, Lin Cheng knocked on Lin Momo's head and reminded her.
"Well, okay." Lin Momo followed Lin Cheng out of the car.
However, on the way back to the store, Lin Momo kept muttering, "If only we could earn 960 yuan a day, then we could earn 6,720 yuan a week, 28,800 yuan a month, and ..."
Before Lin Momo could figure out her annual income, she saw the director crew waiting outside their store.
When she saw the people from the director team, Lin Momo's happy expression froze on her face and she subconsciously took two steps back.
—
Here, seeing Lin Momo hiding, the director felt a little strange, but he quickly managed his expression and asked Lin Momo with a smile: "Why, after not seeing us for a week, did Momo forget about us?"
“No…” Lin Momo shook her head: She just suddenly saw the people from the director team and realized that their program recording for this week was about to end.
Lin Momo doesn't want the recording to end like this...
Hearing Lin Momo's answer, the director smiled again and continued to say to Lin Cheng and Lin Momo: "Congratulations, dad and baby, for successfully completing another week of life experience."
"Did you have a good week, baby?" the director asked.
Lin Momo nodded: "Happy."
"Have you completed your mission?"
Lin Momo continued to nod and handed the calculated money to the director.
There are a total of 3,678 pieces here, which is 1,000 pieces more than the 2,100 pieces required by the task.
As for the 4,000 yuan spent on repairing the car, Lin Cheng used a very sophisticated method to calculate it into their store opening capital and daily expenses, and Lin Momo didn't notice any clues at all.
"Congratulations on successfully completing the task." The director said to Lin Cheng and Lin Momo.
"Well, next, please ask Dad and baby to draw the activities that will start next week."
As the director finished speaking, the staff once again brought the familiar lottery box in front of the father and daughter.
—
Lin.
Looking at the live broadcast of the lottery box carried up by the program staff, Mr. Lin asked Zhou Ming next to him: "What's going on this week?"
"There are a total of eight options this week, including community worker, TV station intern reporter, zoo keeper, stock analyst, voice actor, hotel test sleeper, extra, and piano shop owner."
In the case of a real lottery, the production team did not set up too bad options this time, because they were worried that the celebrity group would fail because of drawing a bad family background.
After hearing Zhou Ming's words, Mr. Lin nodded and continued to stare at the live broadcast screen.
—
In the scene, this time it was Lin Momo who drew the lots.
Lin Momo nervously searched the box for a long time before finally pulling out a card.
Open the card, and there are still 6 pieces of information on it:
Family address: Room 4, Room 307, No. 23, Film and Television City West Street (The house was built by a local owner and is specifically for renting out. A total of 6 households live in one house, sharing a living room, kitchen and bathroom.)
Dad’s occupation: a supporting actor in a film and television studio.
Annual family income: 0-100,000 yuan (daily income is approximately 0-500 yuan).
Transportation: Rent an electric car.
Financial status: The family has no fixed savings, rent is 35 yuan per day, and due to accidental damage to the crew's props, they owe 3,000 yuan, which must be paid off within two weeks; the total fixed expenses for one week are 1,745 yuan.
Available funds this week: 150 yuan.
Lin Cheng read the information on the card expressionlessly, but Lin Momo's eyes lit up when she saw the word "actor".
"Dad," Lin Momo pulled Lin Cheng's sleeve and asked expectantly, "Are extras the actors who play supporting roles for other actors?"
"Well, I guess so." To be precise, he is the supporting role of the supporting role...
"So, we can also make a lot of movies, right?" Lin Momo asked. It seemed that in her eyes, as long as she could make a lot of money, she could make a lot of money.
Seeing Lin Momo's delighted face, Lin Cheng nodded without reminding her to look at the 1745 tasks and the only 150 yuan living allowance on the card.
—
After arranging the tasks, the director team left.
Not long after the directors left, the car that Chen Yu arranged to pick up Lin Cheng and Lin Momo arrived.
Looking at the car that took her home every week parked in front of her, Lin Momo tried very hard to hide the disappointment and reluctance on her face.
Lin Momo let go of Lin Cheng's hand, lowered her head, and quietly climbed into the car driven by Zhou Qi and sat down.
Just when Lin Momo was about to wave to Lin Cheng and say "Goodbye, Dad", she saw Lin Cheng also got into the car.
