Serve as Contrast Team in a ‘Dad with Baby’ Show

Chapter 74: Knowledge is power

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 behind Lin Momo from a distance, without being noticed by 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 drove.

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 station 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 an hour and a half of going back and forth like this, 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.

Seeing this, Lin Cheng patiently explained: "I will earn the money needed for the show, you don't have to think too much, and it's dangerous for you to go out."

"But,"

Lin Momo originally wanted to fight for her "money-making plan", but when she met Lin Cheng's serious and stern eyes, Lin Momo immediately backed down.

"Have you finished your work today?" Lin Momo asked Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng: “…”

Lin Cheng still needs 4 orders for today's guaranteed order, and because he brought Lin Momo back early, he did not return to the site to settle today's salary.

Looking at the time, it was almost 7 o'clock in the afternoon, so Lin Cheng called the distribution station directly and did not go back.

"Let's go, have dinner."

"good."

"It's my treat today!" Lin Momo said excitedly.

Hearing this, Lin Cheng just glanced at Lin Momo calmly, and then asked: "Would you like to eat buns?"

Lin Momo: “…” It seems like the money she earned today is only enough to buy buns

Lin Cheng took Lin Momo to a nearby restaurant that looked cleaner for dinner. On the way home, the two of them carried two roasted sweet potatoes that they bought with the money Lin Momo earned.

After returning home, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo continued to sit on each side of the room, minding their own business.

Lin Cheng was holding his work phone, planning the delivery routes for tomorrow's 30 pre-ordered orders, and grabbing some orders in the process.

Lin Momo continued to hold her little notebook, and wrote down today's account with a 'serious' face.

The father and daughter did not communicate with each other throughout the whole process, but the whole scene was unexpectedly harmonious.

At night, the two of them slept in their own rooms.

After a burst of lightning and thunder in the middle of the night, it suddenly started to rain.

Lin Momo suddenly sat up from the bed, then jumped off the bed quickly.

Then there was a series of 'bang bang' sounds.

Hearing the noise outside, Lin Cheng, who was sleeping inside, woke up. When he came out, he saw Lin Momo squatting among the pile of sundries in the room, rustling around and making no one knew what she was doing.

"What are you doing?" Lin Cheng asked.

Seeing Lin Momo stand up, Lin Cheng asked again: "Are you scared by the thunder?"

"no."

Lin Momo was not awakened by the thunder just now, but by a drop of water falling on her forehead.

After that, Lin Momo pointed at the roof and said to Lin Cheng: "Our house seems to be leaking."

The old buildings are all made of brick and tile structures and have fallen into disrepair over the years. It is common for water to leak from the top floor to the first floor on rainy days. This is also the case with the house where Lin Momo and her grandmother live.

Every time this time comes, they will find all the water containers in the house to collect water from the bottom.

Just now, Lin Momo was looking for something to collect water in this house.

Hearing Lin Momo's words, Lin Cheng looked up at the roof. As expected, water droplets were already seeping out from some places.

Looking around the room, Lin Momo had already placed several water-collecting devices, pots, pans, and everything else.

"Tick-tock." Another drop of rain fell, carrying dust and spider webs from the roof, and landed right in the cup that Lin Momo usually used to fill with boiled water for him.

Lin Cheng: “…”

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the leaks in the house were getting worse and worse.

It was raining heavily outside and drizzling inside the house, and it was even worse in the half of the room where Lin Cheng was sleeping. It was raining moderately and the rain was flowing directly down the walls.

Soon, the whole house was in a mess, and the containers that Lin Momo found were not enough.

"The water leaking from above will soon drain away and won't accumulate." Seeing Lin Cheng frowning beside her, Lin Momo comforted him.

This is something I learn from experience.

Lin Cheng did not comment on this.

It was impossible to sleep in this situation, so the two of them had to find the only place outside that was not dripping and sit down to wait for the rain to stop.

Looking at the miserable state of the two, several comments suddenly popped up in the originally quiet live broadcast room.

Oh my god, I couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night and ended up in this situation.

Lin Cheng and his daughter are so miserable.

I had just finished working overtime and was already feeling miserable, but when I saw Lin Cheng and Lin Momo, I suddenly felt that life could go on again.

A capital word "miserable".

No wonder Lin Cheng let his daughter sleep outside while he slept inside. He had been staring at the walls and the roof for so long before, he must have guessed that the house would leak when it rained, and that the leakage inside would be more serious than outside, so he let his daughter sleep outside.

The truth is out.

What should we do now? Don’t you want to think of a solution

There is nothing we can do in this situation but wait for the rain to stop.

This sudden rainstorm didn't stop until the second half of the night.

At this time, water was still dripping in the room.

Lin Momo sat quietly in the chair, staring at the raindrops falling from the roof into the already full basin, and gradually began to feel sleepy.

Lin Cheng looked down at Lin Momo and saw that Lin Momo's eyes had begun to blur and her upper and lower eyelids were fighting.

Just when Lin Cheng was considering whether to take Lin Momo out to find another place to rest, he saw the girl's head tilt and fall to one side.

Lin Cheng reached out and caught Lin Momo's head which was about to hit the table.

The temperature from his palm, which was obviously higher than normal, made Lin Cheng realize that something was wrong.

"Lin Momo." Lin Cheng called out.

Lin Momo also responded subconsciously: "Hmm?"

"Wake up."

"Hmm." Lin Momo tried hard to open her eyes, but she felt as if her eyes were glued together and couldn't open them no matter what.

Lin Cheng raised his hand again to test the temperature on Lin Momo's forehead, and his brows frowned even deeper.

Lin Momo must have a fever, and the temperature is not low.

At this time, the cameramen and director crew had returned to their temporary hotel, leaving only a few fixed cameras.

"Can you hear me?"

"Hmm." Lin Momo responded vaguely and shook her head.

"I'll take you to the hospital." After saying that, Lin Cheng didn't delay any longer. He found two pieces of clothes to wrap Lin Momo, then carried her out the door.

Because there was no camera crew following them, after the two people left the house, they could no longer be seen in the live broadcast room.

Did Lin Momo catch a cold and have a fever

Of course, my face is burning red.

Children of this age are indeed prone to catching colds and fevers.

And Lin Momo walked such a long way today.

At this time, there was no director team following me, and I didn’t know what was going on. It was so frustrating.

Worry.

Please don't get into any trouble!

More and more people came to the live broadcast room, and more and more people began to discuss this matter.

Because of this incident, in the middle of the night, the name "Lin Cheng" once again became a hot search after nearly a decade.

Lin Cheng didn't know about this and didn't want to know at all.

Holding Lin Momo, who was as hot as a small stove, a rare trace of nervousness appeared on Lin Cheng's cold face, which he was not even aware of.

The rain outside had stopped. The tricycle that Lin Cheng drove out from the distribution station stopped downstairs. He placed Lin Momo in the back seat of the tricycle, and Lin Cheng rode the tricycle quickly to the nearest hospital.

After entering the emergency room, doctors and nurses soon came to greet us.

"What's going on? Do you have a fever?"

"Um."

"Come and take your temperature first. If it's a high fever, you may need antipyretics."

"Are you the child's father?" the doctor asked after putting Lin Momo on the hospital bed.

"No,"

"Isn't this your child?" the doctor looked at Lin Cheng strangely and asked.

Lin Cheng frowned slightly.

At this time, the doctor asked again: "Is it true?"

"yes."

"How is she?" Lin Cheng asked again.

"38.7, a high fever. Give you an injection of antipyretic first, and then observe to see if the temperature can be lowered." After the doctor said this, he gave Lin Cheng a few more instructions.
