I thought that based on the personalities of this father and daughter, the father would give his daughter a lesson.
Haha, I guess the dad doesn’t know that his daughter just ran out and messed up the garbage again.
And he hid it secretly.
By the way, she just hid those bottles and jars. Could it be that it was to make it easier to play with them next time
All I can say is that for children, everything can be turned into a toy.
Due to preconceived notions, most people would never associate celebrity children with collecting bottles and selling them for money.
I still can't accept playing garbage.
…
Night, indoors.
Lin Momo sat in front of the table and bench that Lin Cheng had temporarily assembled using two boxes, holding a notebook with a serious expression on her face.
—This was the life plan she had made before.
After knowing that they only had 200 yuan for living expenses, Lin Momo did this secretly.
The notebook was folded in the middle, with the names of Lin Cheng and Lin Momo written on the left and right sides respectively, and below the names were the daily living expenses arrangements for the two.
Day 1
Lin Cheng: Breakfast is 6 yuan, lunch is 10 yuan, dinner is 10 yuan, drinking water is 2 yuan, and transportation fee is 8 yuan.
Lin Momo: Steamed buns for breakfast are 1 yuan, dumplings for lunch are 2 yuan, and dumplings for dinner are 2 yuan.
Total: 41 yuan.
the next day
…
Day 5
Lin Cheng: Breakfast is 6 yuan, lunch is 6 yuan, drinking water is 2 yuan, and transportation is 8 yuan.
Lin Momo: Breakfast is 2 yuan, lunch is 2 yuan.
It’s the last day anyway, so it shouldn’t be a big deal to skip a meal.
Finally, leave 10 dollars for later use.
—
Originally, Lin Momo had calculated all these things, but she never expected that a minor injury would make the already poor family even worse off.
I spent 55 dollars on medical supplies, and the dinner just now cost another 10 dollars.
Looking at the only 135 yuan left in front of her, Lin Momo's hands stopped bleeding, but her heart was bleeding.
I stared at the notebook and thought for a long time.
Lin Momo took the eraser and erased her own line first, then replaced her breakfast, lunch and dinner with steamed buns.
Afterwards, the expenses for Lin Cheng’s three meals were changed.
Finally, there is still transportation cost left.
Lin Momo looked at Lin Cheng who was not far away and called out to him.
"Um, Dad."
"What?"
"Can you take the bus instead of the subway when going to work?" Lin Momo asked.
Hearing this, Lin Cheng's eyes flashed with confusion.
"Why do you ask?"
"That's it." Lin Momo handed her notebook to the other party and explained, "You could have taken the subway, but because you spent 55 yuan more today, you don't have enough money left..."
After that, Lin Momo lowered her head again and whispered to Lin Cheng: "I'm sorry."
After all, the extra 55 yuan was spent because of her.
Looking at the notebook the girl handed over, Lin Cheng was a little surprised.
Just now, when Lin Momo was seen holding a pencil and a notebook and writing something seriously, Lin Cheng thought she was writing the holiday homework she brought with her, but he didn't expect that she was actually writing this
When his eyes fell on Lin Momo's three meals, Lin Cheng frowned.
Eat steamed buns for three meals a day
Even if this was just a reality show, even if this was not his own child, he would never let Lin Momo eat only three steamed buns a day.
"I will go to work tomorrow." Lin Cheng said to Lin Momo.
According to the program team's regulations, Lin Cheng will report to the liquefied gas distribution station at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, and then he can earn wages by delivering gas.
It wouldn't mean that Lin Momo, a child, would have to worry about living expenses.
"But our family still owes others 600 yuan." Lin Momo reminded in a low voice.
This is the task set for them by the program team.
Lin Cheng: “…”
—
Off-screen, the audience cannot see what Lin Momo wrote in her notebook, but they can hear the conversation between the father and daughter.
Suddenly, the originally deserted barrage area became lively.
What? Did I misunderstand before? I thought the father and daughter didn't care about the 200 yuan.
Me too.
It seems that they care a lot about this living expenses.
I'm curious about what's written on my daughter's living expenses plan.
Lin Momo: I’m worried sick about this family.
200 yuan is really too much.
Haha, it’s 135 yuan now.
…
Here, seeing Lin Momo sitting on the "stool" without saying a word, obviously still worrying about her livelihood, Lin Cheng felt a little headache.
"These are not the issues you need to consider." Lin Cheng said in a deep voice.
As if realizing that his tone was a bit harsh, Lin Cheng's expression relaxed a little, and he added: "I will take care of the mission."
"Go wash up and go to bed."
Lin Momo opened her mouth and wanted to say something else, but thinking that Lin Cheng had to get up early to go to work tomorrow, she could only nod obediently: "Okay."
The two of them simply washed up.
As the lights in the house turned off, the picture in the live broadcast room also went dark.
—
Outside the live broadcast room, Chen Yu and the other two, who had been sitting in front of the computer for a whole day, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Has the popularity of Brother Cheng's live broadcast room increased a bit?" Wang Xi said excitedly as he looked at the dynamic data of the live broadcast room.
Chen Yu responded: "Yes, some have come up." During the day, the number of people online was only a little over a thousand, but now it has increased to 3,598.
Hearing this, Wang Xi smiled and said, "I hope it will go up a little more tomorrow!"
Zhou Qi also nodded: "It would be better if you could turn it over!"
Different from the expectations of the two, Chen Yu just hopes that there will be no mistakes in tomorrow's recording.
Chen Yu couldn't imagine what it would be like to have Lin Cheng deliver the liquefied gas tanks.
—
Early the next morning, Lin Cheng got up at 7 o'clock on time.
When Lin Cheng came out, he saw that Lin Momo had already gotten up, changed her clothes, combed her hair, folded the quilt, and was sitting quietly on a stool beside the bed.
There were several bowls and plates on the "table" in front of Lin Momo, and a few small bowls were upside down on the bowls and plates.
Seeing Lin Cheng coming out, Lin Momo's eyes lit up. She took away the small bowl on the plate, pointed at the buns inside and said to Lin Cheng, "Dad, this is breakfast."
Lin Cheng was stunned and asked, "Where is Baozi?"
“I bought it later.”
later
Lin Cheng didn't know where "behind" Lin Momo was referring to, and frowned slightly.
"You went out?"
"No, it's in the corridor." Lin Momo said, and took Lin Cheng to the far right of the corridor. There was a small window here, and below was a small alley like a vegetable market, and at this time there were all kinds of hawking sounds below.
"I bought from that store." Lin Momo pointed to a steamed bun stall across the stairs and said to Lin Cheng.
Then, Lin Momo pointed to a small basket nearby and explained to Lin Cheng, "I wrote what I wanted to buy on a small piece of paper, and used this to drop the money and the paper down to the boss, and the boss put the buns in."
It was the same where she and her grandmother lived before, and they did this often.
"..." After looking at Lin Momo, Lin Cheng didn't know whether to praise her for being smart, or to tell her that she didn't need to do these things, as these should be done by "Dad".
"Come on, let's go in."
"good."
The father and daughter came to the table. Lin Momo pointed at the bowls and plates in front of Lin Cheng and said one by one: "This one is filled with sugar, this one is filled with red bean paste, and this one is filled with sesame and peanuts."
This is a way Lin Momo thought of to save money. If Lin Cheng doesn't go out to eat, he can save 1 dollar for each breakfast with this combination.
"I don't know what flavor you like, Dad, so..."
Lin Cheng's gaze followed the direction of Lin Momo's finger and fell on a few buns - although the buns were bought, and the bowls and plates were worn out and full of holes, but with Lin Momo's placement of them, they looked a bit like breakfast.
"White sugar, bean paste, peanuts and sesame seeds." Lin Cheng said.
Lin Momo raised her head, looked at Lin Cheng in disbelief, and asked, "Are you saying you like these flavors?"
"Yeah." Lin Cheng responded, and his tone didn't sound like he was fooling Lin Momo.
—He does like sweets, but few people know it, even the people in the Lin family hardly know it.
Seeing Lin Cheng nod, Lin Momo smiled.
“Hehe, I like these flavors too.”
Because she didn't know what Lin Cheng liked, she just bought all the flavors she liked. She didn't expect that they both liked the same ones.
"Then I'll give you this too." Lin Momo broke off half of the sugar bun in her hand and handed it to the bowl in front of Lin Cheng.
Looking at the deformed buns in the bowl, Lin Cheng's mouth twitched slightly.
"Take it back."
Lin Momo was stunned when she heard Lin Cheng's words, but she soon realized that she and Baozi were probably disliked by each other, so she took the half bun back embarrassedly.
While whispering: "Then I'll buy you an extra one tomorrow."
"Need not."
"Two are enough." Lin Cheng said.
He actually didn't mind the half bun that the girl handed to him just now. Even Lin Cheng himself was a little surprised by this.
But the kid gave him half of the bun and ate the other half himself...
Lin Cheng was wondering: Will they become the first group in a reality show where a 'dad' starves his 'child' to death
Lin Cheng left the last peanut and sesame bun to Lin Momo and prepared to pack up and go out.
Before Lin Cheng was about to leave, Lin Momo called him and handed a cup of water to Lin Cheng.
"The hot water here is boiled, you can take it with you when you go out." Lin Momo said.
Bring your own water with you when you go out, and you can save money on buying water.
"Where are you from?" Lin Cheng asked.
I found the water cup among the miscellaneous items I cleaned up yesterday. As for the hot water...
"When I went out in the morning, the grandmother in Room 306 happened to be boiling water, so I asked her to give me a cup."
After that, thinking of this 'father's' cleanliness obsession, Lin Momo quickly added: "I washed the water cup three times and washed it once with detergent. It's very clean. You can use it without worry."
Lin Cheng: …
How much did this girl do during the time before he got up
Although he still couldn't accept this water cup whose past "history" was unknown, looking at Lin Momo's sparkling eyes, Lin Cheng still took the water cup from her.
"And this, today's living expenses." Lin Momo took out the prepared thirty yuan from the envelope and handed it to Lin Cheng.
Although she tried hard to cover it up, she couldn't hide the pain on her face.
Seeing this, Lin Cheng only took out 10 yuan.
"Stay here and don't run around. I'll be back in the afternoon." After giving Lin Momo a brief instruction, Lin Cheng left.
—
The audience in the live broadcast room began to discuss:
Dad just went out like that? Leaving his daughter alone at home
Why doesn't the father take his daughter with him to work
That’s right, the other groups of fathers all brought their children to work.
However, since we are doing a show, we should still bring our children with us.
Momo is so pitiful.
…
She dreamed that later on, those radical viewers not only scolded her in the barrage, but also sent threatening letters, saying that if she didn't quit, they would make her disappear forever.
The dream wasn't over yet when Lin Momo was woken up by the fright.
"Dreams are all fake, they are the opposite, yes, they are the opposite, they will never happen..." Lin Momo talked to herself to comfort herself.
But I still couldn't help but recall that overly real dream in my mind.
—She and Lin Cheng became the targets of the audience's hatred and attacks because of their poor performance in the show. Lin Cheng did not become popular because of the show, but was instead blackened by the entire network.
If something like this happened in reality, then Chen Yu’s plan would have failed.
Lin Momo always remembered: the agreement she signed with Chen Yu clearly stated that if she performed well, they would be given new furniture and small appliances. If she didn't perform well and caused Lin Cheng to be scolded by the audience, would all that be gone
Thinking of this, the fear on Lin Momo's face gradually turned into nervousness.
…
In the morning, Lin Cheng changed his clothes in the room. As soon as he walked out of the bedroom and came to the living room, he saw Lin Momo, who had already dressed up, standing blankly at the kitchen door not far away.
Seeing him come out, the girl's eyes immediately looked over.
"Is there something?" Lin Cheng asked.
"Yes..." Lin Momo pointed to the kitchen behind her and asked Lin Cheng politely: "Excuse me, can I use this kitchen?"
Hearing Lin Momo's words, Lin Cheng replied without taking it too seriously: "Sure."
After getting Lin Cheng's consent, Lin Momo smiled happily and said to Lin Cheng, "Thank you."
Thinking of what Chen Yu had said before, Lin Momo added, "Thank you, Dad."
It was not until he saw Lin Momo walk into the kitchen that Lin Cheng reacted: Should he ask the child what he was doing in the kitchen
But soon, the sounds of spatulas and dishes coming from the kitchen answered Lin Cheng's question.
—
In the kitchen, facing the various cooking utensils and electrical appliances in front of her, Lin Momo was a little confused: because she didn’t even know what half of the things in them were.
Fortunately, there are basic necessities such as pots, spatulas, bowls, plates and gas stoves.
Lin Momo found a suitable pot and placed it on the gas stove, then walked towards the refrigerator.
The moment she opened the refrigerator door, Lin Momo was dumbfounded - such a big refrigerator, but there was nothing inside except water, a few boxes of tea and coffee.
—Poorer than their family.
Lin Momo muttered softly, and finally found a box of eggs and some fruits in the corner of the refrigerator.
She took one first, thought about it, then went back and took two more.
Lin Momo made 3 eggs into fried eggs.
—
Outside the kitchen, Lin Cheng was checking emails on his phone.
Smelling the aroma of fried eggs, Lin Cheng did not raise his eyes.
Until a plate of fried eggs was carefully pushed in front of him...
Two eggs and a few pieces of cut fruit were arranged to form a funny smiley face.
Lin Cheng raised his eyes to look at Lin Momo, and was about to say "No thanks" when he saw the girl holding a pair of chopsticks and handing them to him.
He seldom eats at home, and because he went abroad a few days ago and hasn't adjusted to the time difference yet, he doesn't plan to eat at this time.
However, meeting Lin Momo's expectant and slightly flattering eyes, Lin Cheng's heart moved and he took the chopsticks from her.
Lin Momo grinned at Lin Cheng again and gave him a smile.
After that, Lin Momo lowered her head, only stealing a glance at Lin Cheng from time to time.
It was not until she saw the other person eat a piece of egg without frowning or showing an expression of "the egg is not tasty" that Lin Momo felt relieved and began to eat her own food quietly.
