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

Chapter 11,Part 1: Watching-for-'Dad' Rock - Business negotiation

After Lin Cheng left, Lin Momo walked to the precariously hung window and watched Lin Cheng walk out of the community through the somewhat dusty glass.

Until Lin Cheng’s figure disappeared from view, Lin Momo didn’t move; she stood still, watching quietly by the window.

This scene was, of course, livestreamed to the audience.

[Daughter looks too pitiful like this. ]

[Yeah, Dad is out, and it’s too boring for daughter to stay at home like this. ]

[Can’t do anything, and have nothing to play with.]

[Dad is gone, why is she still standing by the window?]

[Is this kid planning to wait for her father to come back all day?]

……

The audience in the livestream channel obviously misunderstood Lin Momo.

She was standing by the window not to wait for Lin Cheng, but to see where there were still soda cans she could pick up.

At this point, the audience in the livestream channel finally saw Lin Momo move.

Just when everyone thought that Lin Momo was going to leave the window, they realized that Lin Momo just changed her posture and continued to stand by the window in a daze.

[Still standing there?]

[It almost feels like she’s becoming a Watching-for-‘Dad’ Rock. ]

[She looks like my cat.]

[My cat doesn’t love me as much. It doesn’t matter whether I’m at home or not, it has the same attitude towards me, and doesn’t care about me at all. ]

[Haha, just like my family.]

……

The topic in the comments barrage gradually drifted away.

Seeing this, Wang Xi and Zhou Qi, who were sitting in front of the computer, were a little worried.

“Brother Chen Yu, what should we do if the comments get off-topic? Do you want to find a way to bring the topic back?” Wang Xi asked.

“Or shall we go to the comments section to warm up the crowd?” Zhou Qi also asked.

However, Chen Yu waved his hand and said, “No need for now.”

After a pause, Chen Yu said again, “Just keep watch on the data and popularity online.”

From the data, it can be seen that although the topic of this livestream has deviated, the popularity of the livestream channel has not decreased, and even the number of comments has more than doubled compared to before.

… …

Lin Momo stood by the window for an hour, and the audience watched it on the livestream channel for an hour.

From time to time, a few comments could be seen floating on the barrage.

[1 hour later…]

[wtf! Before I knew it, an hour has really passed. ]

[This kid is stupid. ]

[I’m also stupid, I actually stared at the livestream for an hour. ]

[F*ck, me too, if she didn’t blink occasionally, I would have thought my network connection stalled, haha. ]

[Like watching fish in an aquarium, this feels exactly the same.]

[We’re not watching this scene all day, are we?]

[Come on, let’s see who can survive!]

Just when the audience began to bet on how long Lin Momo would stand there, Lin Momo finally moved.

… …

She had searched around in the small yard downstairs, but did not find any more soda cans.

Lin Momo felt quite regretful.

Unfortunately, without the key, she couldn’t go too far.

Lin Momo backed away from the window.

[Moved, moved, she finally moved!]

[What is she doing? ]

Seeing Lin Momo rummaging through the room, the audience raised questions.

[Too bored, ready to start trashing the house?] Someone guessed.

While the speculation in the comments section was going on, Lin Momo had already found a basin and two old dishcloths from a nearby pile of odds and ends.

[Is she going to clean up?]

[Impossible.]

[What can such a small child do.]

[Could she have been taught in advance, to create a ‘sensible child’ personality?]

[If that’s the case, it would be disgusting.]

[To be honest, I don’t like this kind of character design. ]

[It’s really off-putting.]

… …

There were more and more voices of doubt in the comments section.

Fortunately, Lin Momo couldn’t see the barrage and was not affected by it at all.

Lin Momo took the basin and fetched clean water from outside the house. First, she used one of the cleaner rags to wipe down the ‘beds’ where she and Lin Cheng had slept, and cleaned the make-shift ‘furniture’ and supplies they were going to use for their stay in this house.

For the remaining dirty water, Lin Momo changed dishrags and began to wipe the table legs and the floor.

From small to large, from top to bottom.

Back and forth, Lin Momo changed several basins of water.

The serious and quick appearance doesn’t look like a show at all.

This also changed the opinions of everyone in the live broadcast room:

[She is really cleaning carefully.]

[It doesn’t look like she’s pretending. ]

[I also think that if it’s just acting, there’s no need to do this at all. 】

For most of the day, although Lin Momo’s speed was not fast, after her cleaning, the whole house was becoming clean at a speed visible to the naked eye.

[Woooo, my daughter is so good!]

[Other people’s children: … ]

……

Lin Momo poured out the last basin of dirty water, and threw away some of the rubbish she picked up while cleaning.

When passing by the first floor, several old ladies were chatting in the small yard of the 103 household.

Seeing Lin Momo walking by the yard, several old ladies all took a look at her.

“Is this the kid who came to our place to shoot a TV show?” One of the old ladies approached the others and asked.

“It seems to be, I heard that it is a child of some celebrity family,” one person replied.

The other person also nodded and echoed, “Yes, it’s her. I saw the father this morning.”

“Really? Which star is it?”

The person who spoke in front shook her head, “I don’t know him, but he looked very handsome. Well, maybe he’s not a famous star.”

Several people discussed in low voices.

The announcement that the program crew would start filming here for a week had been posted in advance, but people have their own lives to live and the news didn’t excite them much. Not many famous people came here, and as residents, they didn’t pay it too much attention.

“Now anyone can become a star just by packaging it, who knows,” one of the old ladies muttered.

The person next to her also lowered her voice, and said, “And I don’t think that child looks like a star’s child at all.”

“That’s right, she looks like our family’s grandson.”

“Not even as well-dressed as my grandson.”

A few people were muttering in low voices, but then they realized that Lin Momo had already come back this way after throwing away the trash, and now she has stopped by the gate of the small courtyard.

One of the old ladies quickly grabbed the old lady who was talking.

“Shh, stop talking, the child is here.”

“We’ll talk about it later when she’s gone.”

They expected Lin Momo to leave immediately, but she stood motionless at the entrance of the small courtyard as if she had been frozen.

“Why hasn’t this child left yet?”

“Could it be… that she overheard what we said just now?”

“Was it not you, why did you say that she is not as good-looking as your grandson?”

“Didn’t you also say that?!”

Seeing Lin Momo walking straight towards them, the old ladies hurriedly pushed blame on each other.

Footnotes

It’s a pun. The real thing is a that looks like a woman with a baby on her back. Legends say she is waiting for her fisherman ‘husband’ to come home, but without her knowledge, he had already passed on in a sea storm. The Lin Momo rock formation is waiting for her ‘dad’ :)It seems the viewers have some awareness that shows like these are still ‘scripted’. They think that Lin Momo was given a ‘sensible child’ character setting—as opposed to ‘sweet and cheerful’, or ‘pampered princess’, etc.. They’re not calling Lin Momo herself ‘disgusting’ but the decision to make her ‘sensible’ as it’s not really an appropriate or likable quality for a small kid.
