Riverside first class.
After spending a night of joy and excitement in her future 'new home', Lin Momo climbed out of bed early the next morning before it was fully light.
Lin Momo folded the quilt neatly, changed her clothes, washed up, and combed her hair before walking to the door of the room.
Lin Momo opened the door a little and subconsciously looked in the direction of Lin Cheng's room next to her. At this time, the other party's door was closed, so he should not have gotten up yet.
Lin Momo tiptoed to open the door and went out to the living room.
Yesterday, Lin Chengxiao explained to Lin Momo in detail about the rooms in the house, what was placed in each place, and how to use each electrical appliance. Lin Momo wrote it all down.
After searching the house, Lin Momo went to get some water and a towel and began to clean the house quietly.
She was worried and afraid that if she didn't perform well, Lin Cheng would not want her, so she subconsciously wanted to do something to make him like her.
Lin Momo first put the furnishings in the room one by one and arranged them neatly on the table, then began to wipe the cabinets and shelves in the house from top to bottom... then the table, table legs, coffee table, small cabinet, and finally the floor.
This house is a bit big, and the workload of cleaning is much heavier. This makes Lin Momo miss the small house they lived in when they were recording the show before.
Two hours later, looking at the house that she had cleaned up completely, Lin Momo grinned.
Raising her hand to wipe the sweat off her face, Lin Momo went to the kitchen without stopping.
Lin Momo did the same as last time. She moved a small stool to the front of the workbench to cushion herself, and then started to make breakfast.
Unlike the last time when she was confused, yesterday, Lin Chengxiao taught Lin Momo how to use most of the things in the kitchen.
Lin Cheng said that the stove and several other places were dangerous and didn't allow her to use them, so Lin Momo obediently didn't go near them and only used the few small appliances that Lin Cheng told her she could use.
…
She put the prepared breakfast on a plate and carried it to the dining table outside. Looking at the smiling face carefully arranged on the plate, Lin Momo smiled at it, then covered it with the lid and went back to the kitchen to clean up.
After a while, Lin Momo sorted the garbage in the house and prepared to take it downstairs to throw it away.
Every day, there are special people who collect the garbage from every household here, but Lin Momo doesn't know this.
After carrying the garbage downstairs, Lin Momo looked around in the courtyard in front of the building, but did not find any trash cans. There were some things that looked like sculptures, very delicate and beautiful. Lin Momo subconsciously did not regard them as trash cans. She was afraid that others would see her and laugh at her, so Lin Momo hesitated and did not go forward to confirm.
Lin Momo walked a little further outside.
As a result, Lin Momo walked all the way to the garden of the community, but still didn't find the trash can.
Standing in the garden, Lin Momo was lost in confusion.
At this moment, a strange figure attracted Lin Momo's attention.
The man seemed to be old, and his movements were not very agile. He walked back and forth around a flower bed in the middle, stretching his neck, as if he was looking for something, or waiting for something.
Lin Momo watched for a while, and just as she was about to leave to look for a trash can, the man turned around, and the moment he saw Lin Momo, his eyes lit up, and he walked quickly towards Lin Momo with his crutches.
Lin Momo was slightly stunned. When she saw who it was, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"It's you?!"
"You are the old man from that day, right?"
Lin Momo still remembers this person, the old man who came to their restaurant for dinner that day.
The other party also said that he was her fan.
Here, Grandpa Lin, who had been waiting here impatiently before daybreak, finally saw his lovely great-grandson. His heart was immediately filled with joy, and when he looked at Lin Momo, a loving smile appeared on his face.
"Yes, it's me. Xiao Momo still remembers me?" Grandpa Lin was happy.
Lin Cheng was not willing to take Lin Momo back to her roots for the time being, as they both still had several episodes of the show to record. Without his great-grandson, Grandpa Lin was still thinking about continuing to attend the show as a 'passerby', so he could not reveal his identity for the time being.
Lin Momo nodded and said, "I have a good memory, and the candy you gave me, Grandpa, was super delicious, so I remember it very clearly."
Of course, there was another reason that Lin Momo did not tell the other party, which was: compared with the people she had met before, this person was really weird, so it was hard for Lin Momo not to have a deep impression of him.
"Grandpa, do you live here?" Lin Momo blinked and asked in surprise.
"Well, well, let's just forget it..." The old man responded vaguely.
Originally, Mr. Lin was planning to just brush this question off, but he found that Lin Momo was looking at him inquiringly.
Looking at the old man in front of her, Lin Momo was puzzled - judging from the way this person was acting, he seemed to be taking a walk, but his clothes seemed a bit too formal, it felt like he was not taking a walk, but more like traveling.
Lin Momo muttered to herself, but didn't take the question to heart.
"Grandpa, can you tell me where the trash can is?" Lin Momo asked, paused, and then embarrassedly lowered her head and explained, "I just moved in here yesterday, and I looked everywhere but couldn't find a trash can."
Originally, Mr. Lin was still wondering why this child came out alone, where was Lin Cheng.
After hearing Lin Momo's words, Mr. Lin finally realized that she was a scumbag.
only…
He doesn't know where the trash can is here!
This was the first time that Grandpa Lin came to Lin Cheng's residence. If the developer here hadn't owed him money, Grandpa Lin wouldn't even be able to get through the door, let alone know where the trash can was!
He doesn't even know what the trash cans here look like.
"Trash can, let me take a look..." Mr. Lin looked around and found nothing.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
"Don't you live here?" Lin Momo stared at the old man and asked.
Mr. Lin would never have thought that one day he would be stared at by a little girl and feel guilty.
The old man moved his gaze to the little broken bird in his hand guiltily, coughed dryly, and explained: "Well, well... well, I actually live in the neighborhood next door."
—There is a river next to this community.
Lin Momo saw it with her own eyes yesterday when she went out with Lin Cheng.
Lin Momo looked at Mr. Lin with eyes full of confusion and suspicion.
As if she had thought of something, Lin Momo suddenly looked at Mr. Lin and said, "I know, are you a stalker fan?!"
The term "private fans" was something Lin Momo had heard Chen Yu and Wang Xi say before - they said some private fans are scary, they like to dig into the private lives of celebrities, follow them around and take photos, and even go to where the celebrities live to stake out...
This old man behaves very similarly.
Lin Momo became alert and subconsciously took two steps back.
Here, Mr. Lin hadn't figured out what a illegitimate fan was, and before he could figure out whether he should click or shake it, he saw Lin Momo taking several steps back, then turned around and ran away.
"Hey! Xiao Momo, why are you running away again?"
While shouting, Mr. Lin was about to catch up with his crutches, when a group of old men who were out for a walk blocked his way.
"Ah! That bird must be a red cherry bird."
"Yes, yes, absolutely."
"This quality is rare."
"I saw one photographed at the expo earlier this year, and this one looks quite similar to the other one."
"That's the highest bidder. You read that right."
"It can't be wrong. And look at its appearance. Its little claws, its little beak, and its back feathers are all better than that one."
"This cage is good, it's made of wenge wood..."
Several old men who were walking their birds surrounded Mr. Lin and started a heated discussion about the cage and the bird in his hands.
At this time, one of the people asked Mr. Lin: "Brother, your bird is really good, where did you get it?"
"It's well-fed. How do you feed it normally?"
"..." Grandpa Lin, who was occupying the center position, had a look of disgust on his face: it was just a small broken bird, he really couldn't see what was good about it.
When I looked over there, Lin Momo had already run into the building and disappeared.
Mr. Lin was feeling anxious, but he couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the old men around him.
Mr. Lin wanted to leave, but several people stopped him.
"Hey, brother, don't leave in a hurry. You haven't walked far yet."
"Yes, yes, let's go together and exchange ideas."
"Brother, come and take a look at mine. Even though it's not as good as yours, it's not bad, is it?"
Mr. Lin: “…”
—
On the other side, Lin Momo ran all the way and finally ran back panting.
As soon as she entered the house, Lin Momo met Lin Cheng who seemed to be looking for her.
"dad."
"Where did you go?"
"Just downstairs."
After a pause, Lin Momo suddenly said to Lin Cheng in a serious tone: "Dad, I seemed to have met one of your illegitimate fans downstairs just now."
After that, Lin Momo told Lin Cheng her analysis again in all seriousness: "That person is very strange. He said at first that he lived here, but then he lied to me and said that he lived in the neighborhood next door..."
Hearing Lin Momo's words, Lin Cheng frowned - although he didn't think he would still have any private fans at the moment, but because he was worried, Lin Cheng still contacted the property management security to investigate the situation.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Cheng looked at Lin Momo again and reminded her, "There are good people out there, but there are also some bad people. When you're alone, don't run around on the street, okay?"
"Okay," Lin Momo nodded obediently, and pulled Lin Cheng's clothes again, and said seriously: "Dad is right, you must protect yourself when you go out, and don't meet illegitimate fans."
After all, illegitimate fans are a rather terrifying existence in the eyes of Chen Yu and his opponents.
Lin Cheng: “…, OK.”
"What's in your hand?" Lin Cheng's eyes fell on the bags in Lin Momo's hand and asked, "Is this garbage you want to throw away?"
When he got up, Lin Cheng noticed that the whole house had obviously been cleaned by Lin Momo.
After hearing Lin Cheng's reminder, Lin Momo realized that she had been running in a hurry just now, and at this moment she was still tightly holding the bags of garbage that she was going to throw away.
"Give it to me." Lin Momo looked embarrassed and said nothing. Lin Cheng took a few bags of garbage from her, sorted them and put them in a compartment on the side of the elevator that was specially used to temporarily store garbage.
—It turns out that you can just throw it here...
Seeing Lin Cheng's actions, Lin Momo felt a little embarrassed and immediately buried her head with a blush.
"What's wrong?"
"No..." Lin Momo shook her head.
"Dad, I made breakfast!" Lin Momo said, hesitated for a moment, and still pulled Lin Cheng's hand.
The two washed their hands and came to the dining table. Lin Momo opened the lid of the plate as if she was presenting a treasure.
"Dad, this is yours."
A glass of water, plus a plate of "smiley faces" made of bread, eggs and tomatoes.
Seeing this smiling face, Lin Cheng's eyes showed a smile.
Seeing this, Lin Momo smiled at him, then pointed to another plate of food and said to Lin Cheng: "This is my homemade hamburger."
The sides of the burger were made of steamed buns, with ham, tomato slices, eggs in the middle... in short, all the ingredients that Lin Momo could find, and a few sesame seeds were dotted on the surface.
Anyway, Lin Momo has never eaten the authentic version, but she thinks this one is delicious.
Lin Momo stared at Lin Cheng nervously as he put the hamburger she made into his mouth. Lin Cheng's expression seemed a little conflicted, and Lin Momo felt uneasy.
"Is it not delicious?" Lin Momo asked.
"No, it's not bad." Lin Cheng said to Lin Momo - he felt this mixed taste was not bad.
The reason why Lin Cheng was so troubled just now was because one day he had read a lot of articles online about #how to get along with your daughter#, #how to get closer to your child#, #how to raise a daughter#…
According to these strategies, you can take your daughter out to play more often, cook for her, and comb her hair...
Originally, Lin Cheng was planning to put it into practice, but he found that he seemed to be of no use
Thinking of this, Lin Cheng felt a little self-blame and depressed.
—
After dinner, Lin Cheng received a call from security and went to the control room to check the surveillance.
"According to your feedback, Mr. Lin, we found out that your daughter did meet an elderly man when she arrived at the garden. The other party appeared in the community garden early in the morning." The security personnel said as he pulled the surveillance camera forward.
Soon, a furtive figure appeared in the picture, prying his eyes out.
When he saw clearly on the surveillance footage who the 'private fan' that Lin Momo was talking about was, Lin Cheng sneered and the corners of his mouth twitched.
At this time, the security guard said again: "We are very sorry for the impact on Mr. Lin and your children. We checked the resident information and did not find this person..."
At this point, the security team leader felt a little strange - the security system in their community has always been very good, so how did this person sneak in
"We will investigate further." said the security guard.
Lin Cheng said, "No need."
"?"
"This is our old man." Lin Cheng sighed and said with some embarrassment.
"I'm sorry to trouble you."
"Mr. Lin, you are too polite. It's just a misunderstanding." The security captain smiled and said. But in his heart, he couldn't help but complain: What kind of grandfather treats the younger generation like a thief...
—
Not long after, Chen Yu came to Lin Cheng's residence with some information.
The moment the door opened, Chen Yu was stunned by what he saw inside the room. He subconsciously turned his head to take a look at the floor and house number next to him to make sure he was not mistaken.
However, Chen Yu's face still had an expression of 'hallucination'.
"Brother Cheng, what do you think is this..." Did some unknown creature sneak in? Or was Lin Cheng provoked by something
-First of all, the floor mat with a bunch of small things under his feet is very un-Lin Cheng. Then looking at the decoration of the whole house, the sofa cushions have changed from cold gray to colorful, the curtains have changed from dark gray to light color, and the originally cold metal ornaments on the tables and shelves have all been turned into cute and inclusive toys and green plants. It is absolutely un-Lin Cheng!
It was not until he saw Lin Momo poking her head out from behind Lin Cheng and obediently called him "Uncle Chen Yu" that Chen Yu finally reacted - such a big change in their Brother Cheng was probably related to Lin Momo's arrival.
Chen Yu was still amazed in his heart, and thought to himself: Lin Cheng's tolerance towards Lin Momo is too great, or in other words, he has changed a lot for Lin Momo.
"Come in." Lin Cheng said.
"Oh, okay, sorry to bother you then." Chen Yu walked into the house and was about to put on the pair of 'Octopus Brother' slippers next to him, but was stopped by Lin Cheng's look.
Lin Cheng asked Chen Yu to change into another pair of slippers.
Chen Yu looked at the 'SpongeBob SquarePants' shoes under Lin Momo's feet, the 'Patrick Star' shoes under Lin Cheng's feet, the pair of 'Squidward' shoes next to him, and finally looked at the pair of ordinary gray plaid slippers under his feet. He suddenly felt 'unwelcome'.
…
The two came to the study, and Chen Yu handed the information in his hand to Lin Cheng.
"Brother Cheng, here are some materials for you and Momo's program recording next week." After a pause, Chen Yu continued, "This time the filming location is the filming location in E City. Because the distance is quite far, we need to take a plane to get there, so according to the arrangement of the program team, we will set off this afternoon."
Lin Cheng nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Also, here is some information I found about the crews that have recently started filming at the E City Film and Television City, as well as some quick acting training materials. Brother Cheng, take a look at it when you have time." Chen Yu said as he handed another set of information to Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng was a singer. Chen Yu had no idea whether Lin Cheng had acting skills, and he didn't hold out any hope at all.
Just... cram for a while.
As he spoke, Chen Yu caught a glimpse of the computer where Lin Cheng was sitting and some information on it, and was slightly stunned.
These are introductions and information about nearby small towns. They are definitely not for Lin Cheng to read. Could it be that...
"Brother Cheng, are you checking Momo's homework?" Chen Yu asked with his eyes wide open.
"Yeah." Lin Cheng nodded.
Lin Cheng looked into the school that Lin Momo attended before, and found out that the conditions in all aspects were not very good. Moreover, it would be inconvenient for Lin Momo to study there after living here. Therefore, Lin Cheng is planning to arrange for Lin Momo to transfer when the school is about to start.
Seeing Lin Cheng nodded, Chen Yu felt a little complicated and asked, "So, Brother Cheng, have you decided to adopt Lin Momo?"
At this time, Chen Yu didn't know that Lin Momo's name had been registered in the same household registration book as Lin Cheng.
Hearing Chen Yu's words, Lin Cheng glanced at him and said calmly: "It was originally mine."
Chen Yu: “???” What does that mean
Could it be...
An idea flashed through Chen Yu's mind, but he felt it was unlikely.
"Brother Cheng, are you saying..."
"Lin Momo is my child." Lin Cheng said.
The words are so sincere that one cannot help but believe them.
Besides that, Chen Yu seemed to hear a hint of arrogance in Lin Cheng's words
Without waiting for Chen Yu to ask more, Lin Cheng glanced at him again and asked, "Anything else?"
"Uh, nothing else. Besides," Chen Yu paused and said, "Have you watched the main episode of this week's show, Cheng?"
"not yet."
"I haven't watched it. This episode's feature film is... not bad, right?" Chen Yu said hesitantly.
Lin Cheng's group was not maliciously edited or compressed in time, and everything was normal. But it was precisely because of this that Chen Yu hesitated whether to remind Lin Cheng to watch the show.
—Because the main program this week happened to broadcast the content of the last few days of the first recording of Lin Momo and his friends, and the program crew edited in the scene where Lin Momo walked for several hours selling scrap.
The audience's reaction when they saw this part was one of heartache. It seemed that Brother Lin Cheng really liked Lin Momo. Chen Yu was not sure whether Lin Cheng would be so upset as to terminate his contract with the program crew after seeing that part.
Lin Cheng nodded and said, "I'll read it when I have time."
"Okay, I'll go back first. Brother Cheng, you guys get ready. I'll arrange a car to take you to the airport later."
