that's all
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.
…
At night, inside the house.
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 was the daily living expenses arrangement 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 6 yuan, lunch 6 yuan, water 2 yuan, transportation fee 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 had saved this money for a long time and had secretly kept it at Zhang Ma's house next door. Because she was afraid that Zhang Xiaoqiang would come back to ask her for it after Lin Momo left, she planned to let Lin Momo take it all.
“Take good care of yourself when you are outside, pay attention to hygiene, be sweet-mouthed, don’t interrupt others when they are talking, and say thank you when others help you... Don’t cause trouble for others, okay?” Liu Cuifang was uneducated and could only tell Lin Momo what she knew over and over again.
"Okay." Lin Momo agreed.
Only after the nurse arrived did Lin Momo feel at ease and leave with the two assistants.
On the way, Lin Momo learned the names of the two people.
The young male assistant wearing glasses is called Zhou Qi, and the chubby young lady is called Wang Xi. They are both newly recruited intern assistants of the company.
—
When they arrived at the company, Zhou Qi and Wang Xi took Lin Momo and hid from place to place, and finally came to a small room.
"Is this the practice room you mentioned? It's just a storage room!" Wang Xi complained.
"Speak a little more quietly. Brother Chen Yu told us to keep a low profile." Zhou Qi said in a low voice.
"Recently, a new group of trainees came into the company, and there weren't enough practice rooms. How could they possibly lend us a good practice room? It's good enough to have a place to stay. I had to use my personal connections to borrow the key."
Wang Xi waved his hands helplessly: "Okay, it'll only be two days anyway." The filming crew will come for a trial shoot in two days, and Lin Momo will be sent to be with Lin Cheng at that time.
Wang Xi lowered his head and looked at Lin Momo. He wanted to comfort her that the hardship was only temporary and she could overcome it with some effort. However, when he thought of Lin Momo's previous living environment, Wang Xi said no more.
"Time is running out, so we have to practice hard. You will stay here for the next two days." Wang Xi pointed to the storage room in front of him and said to Lin Momo.
Lin Momo nodded, indicating that she understood.
…
For the entire afternoon, Wang Xi and Zhou Qi first let Lin Momo watch some similar parent-child reality shows, and then began to practice with Lin Momo.
Wang Xi: "Before the show officially starts, the production crew will usually go to the celebrity's home to shoot a pilot film. At that time, the director team may ask you some questions. You should act naturally, as if you are at home, and just answer whatever they ask you."
Lin Momo: "Okay."
"Then let's try it again. Remember what we told you, come on, start."
When Wang Xi shouted "Start", Lin Momo quickly waved in the direction of the phone camera: "Hello everyone, my name is Lin Momo."
After that, Lin Momo picked up the 'photo' that Wang Xi had drawn for her, pointed at the stick figure on it and said, "The man in the photo is my father, he's a singer..."
"Do you like daddy?"
"like."
"Do you like dad or mom more?"
"Mother."
"Why?"
"Because my mother is very gentle to me, and my father is sometimes a little strict."
Wang Xi nodded, turned to the next page of the notebook, and continued to ask: "How did the name Xiao Momo come about?"
—Lin Momo’s last name is ‘Lin’ because when her grandmother picked her up, there was a blurred certificate with the word ‘Lin’ on it next to her. The two words ‘Momo’ are because when she was picked up, she was put in a foam box, and after being called so many times, it became ‘Momo’.
"Because my father has a song called "Mo", so he named me Momo." Lin Momo said the answer Wang Xi gave her.
"Very good." Wang Xi nodded and asked a few more questions. He was a little surprised to see that Lin Momo could answer them all word for word.
"Have you remembered all the questions here?" Wang Xi asked Lin Momo, holding up his notebook.
Lin Momo nodded.
Wang Xi smiled dryly: "It's good."
"Zhou Qi, what do you think?" Wang Xi turned and asked Zhou Qi.
"There's no problem with the answer, but it feels a bit stiff and weird." Zhou Qi said, touching his chin.
"Yes, a little bit." Wang Xi watched the recorded video and frowned as well.
In the video, although Lin Momo was able to answer the questions fluently, it felt like she was just reciting, with no emotion at all. Especially when she talked about her dad and mom, there was no excitement in Lin Momo's eyes like the other children, only confusion and emptiness.
