Chapter 98: Which floor?

Views:

After stuffing the buns he bought into Lin Momo's hands, Lin Cheng said, "Let's go back."

During the process, Lin Cheng himself did not realize that the expression on his face was much softer than before.

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 6 yuan, lunch 10 yuan, dinner 10 yuan, drinking water 2 yuan, transportation fee 8 yuan.

Lin Momo: Steamed buns for breakfast are 1 yuan, steamed buns for lunch are 2 yuan, and steamed buns 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 backup.

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.

About a dozen young children with QR codes hanging on their chests were wandering back and forth between tables and people.

Lin Momo is one of them.

The difference is that she doesn’t have a QR code tag on her chest.

'Gululu.'

An empty beer can was kicked to Lin Momo's feet.

"Hey! Beggar, get away from me."

"It's smelly and dirty. It's ruined my appetite."

"I'm talking to you! Didn't you hear me?"

Then, another half of the sausage was thrown at Lin Momo's feet.

The young woman who threw the sausage said impatiently: "Okay, I've given you your food, go to another table."

Lin Momo didn't move.

At this moment, a can flew towards Lin Momo, and with a "bang", it hit her head exactly.

The remaining beer in the can flowed down Lin Momo's forehead and into her eyes, stinging her eyes with a burning pain.

Lin Momo didn't say a word. She raised her hand, rubbed her eyes hard with her sleeve, and wiped the beer off her face. She still stayed by the table of the yellow-haired young men, unwilling to leave.

The blond young men were angry.

"Md, are you an idiot? Didn't you understand when I told you to get lost?"

"Go away or not! Go away or not!"

"I told you to get out! Why don't you get out!"

While cursing, several young men took the other empty beer cans on the table and threw them at Lin Momo.

During this time, people occasionally laughed and cursed in a joking manner.

After they had thrown all the empty cans away and were about to pick up the glass wine bottles next to them and throw them at Lin Momo, the two young women at the table spoke up to persuade them to stop, and they gave up.

Seeing that it was almost done, Lin Momo squatted on the ground, flattened all the empty cans scattered around, picked them up, and put them into the woven bag behind her.

After picking up the items, Lin Momo bowed to the yellow-haired young men, said "thank you", and then turned and ran away.

The thin figure and the large woven bag on her back quickly disappeared into the night.

On the way back, Lin Momo sold the scraps behind her and bought two buns.

"Your grandma's leg hasn't healed yet?" the bun shop owner asked with concern.

"Not yet." Lin Momo shook her head.

Lin Momo has no parents and grew up with her grandmother. The two of them usually make a living by subsidies from the neighborhood committee and selling waste.

Grandma is not my biological grandma.

Lin Momo was abandoned by her biological parents and thrown into a nearby flea market, where she was found by a scavenger hunt.

Last month, grandma broke her leg and it hasn't healed yet, so the job of picking up and selling waste fell on Lin Momo alone.

Back in the dim and narrow old building, just as Lin Momo was about to open the door, the movement in the house aroused her vigilance.

"You old man, you dare to lie to me? Don't think I haven't heard that the community distributed holiday condolence money during the holidays in the past two months!"

"Where did you hide the money? Will you tell me? If not, don't blame me for being rude!"

It was Zhang Xiaoqiang's voice.

Lin Momo carefully withdrew her hand, ran downstairs, hid the 10 yuan left from selling the scrap, and then returned.

When Lin Momo opened the door, the room was in a mess. Her grandmother was lying on the ground, and Zhang Xiaoqiang was standing in front of her.

Zhang Xiaoqiang is Liu Cuifang's biological son. He has no proper job and usually spends his time in some questionable places. When he runs out of money, he comes back to ask Liu Cuifang for it.

Liu Cuifang in the room saw Lin Momo coming back and quickly waved at her, signaling her to leave.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaoqiang had already discovered Lin Momo at the door.

"You want to run away? Can you run away?" Zhang Xiaoqiang sneered, "You old man are so nervous, you must have put your money on this little bastard."

After saying that, Zhang Xiaoqiang stepped forward and dragged Lin Momo into the house, and started searching her body regardless of her struggles.

In the end, nothing was found except 50 cents.

Zhang Xiaoqiang unwillingly pulled the woven bag behind Lin Momo to see what was inside.

There was still nothing inside.

"Where's the rest of the money? Where is it hidden?!"

"No more, they're all there." Lin Momo said, pointing at the 50 cents in Zhang Xiaoqiang's hand.

"Bullshit! How can it be just this little?"

Lin Momo shook her head and said nothing.

Liu Cuifang lamented, "I only have so little money every month. I only got 50 yuan in holiday condolence money. I broke my leg before and spent money on medical treatment and medicine. How can I have money now?"

Zhang Xiaoqiang seemed to believe this, and he spat and cursed: "You old man, you'd better die. How dare you spend money on medical treatment!"

Zhang Xiaoqiang was very unhappy because he came here but didn't get paid.

When glancing at Lin Momo, Zhang Xiaoqiang thought of something, his eyes rolled, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
