MTL - Serve as Contrast Team in a ‘Dad with Baby’ Show-Chapter 81 livelihood issues

There was originally a construction wall between the existing community space of Chaoyang Community and the idle shanty town.

But after a long time, more than half of the wall collapsed, and several large holes were artificially made, with only a few wooden horse stools placed in the middle as intervals.

Through the hole in the construction wall, you can see the mess inside.

"It's here." The aunt who brought Lin Cheng and Lin Momo in pointed in the direction ahead.

"This area originally belonged to our community. There are about five or six houses with three or four floors. They were repaired earlier than the remaining few houses. They are basically brick-and-tile houses. Someone came and said they were dangerous houses. , it was demolished, and the developer ran away because the capital chain was broken, so this place has been idle for a long time." said the aunt.

After all, the aunt complained again: "I don't have the strength to do any development, but this area stopped, and our few buildings couldn't be demolished..."

"Is this the place you are looking for?" The aunt looked at the father and daughter who were born opposite each other but were cleanly dressed. She didn't quite believe that they came here to find someone, so she asked again.

"It's here, thank you." Lin Cheng nodded and thanked the other party.

The aunt nodded, and before turning around to leave, she muttered to herself: "You guys better ask, don't make a mistake..."

After the aunt left, Lin Cheng led Lin Momo around the horse stool and walked into the shanty town.

"Look at your feet, don't fall." Lin Cheng warned.

Because the house had been demolished before, the ground in this area was uneven.

"Okay." Lin Momo obediently responded, but her eyes were still curiously looking at the strange environment in front of her.

—The area of ​​this restricted land is not too big, less than 10,000 square meters, because after the house was demolished, no one took care of it, many residents of Chaoyang Community came in and used the remaining earth bricks to rebuild Many small sheds two or three meters high were built, most of which were used for the other party's own sundries, and some were used to raise chickens and dogs.

On the sides or in the gaps of these adobe-brick houses, there are many sheds made of wooden planks, integrated boards discarded on the construction site, and plastic sheds. Most of them are lived by some blind people.

The appearance of Lin Cheng and Lin Momo attracted some people's attention, and it also reminded them that someone came to inform them that they were going to record some programs here.

But because most of the people who live here are unlikely to pay attention to variety shows and celebrities, everyone doesn't care about the arrival of Lin Cheng and Lin Momo. own business.

Lin Cheng and Lin Momo shuttled among the sheds, walked around most of the shantytowns, and finally found a board room among a pile of dilapidated sheds with a small banner of the program "Living with Dad".

This is a house surrounded by abandoned wardrobes and broken door panels. The size and style of the cabinets are not uniform, and they can only be barely put together. There are some horizontal wooden strips nailed between the cabinet and the cabinet as a connection, but it is not sealed.

Looking at the front of the house again, as far as the eye can see, there are almost all old wooden doors dismantled from every household.

[Fuck, the living conditions here are too bad. 】

[This is a dangerous house! 】

[To be precise, this is not even a dilapidated building. 】Because it can't even be called a house.

【It's too awful…】

[How did the program team find such a place? It's too crazy. 】

[How do Lin Cheng and Momo live in this kind of place? 】

…

While the audience was discussing, Lin Momo tried the front door panels one by one.

Finally, when she reached the third last door, Lin Momo pushed the door open.

"Father! I found it. Our door is here!" Lin Momo said to Lin Cheng in surprise.

【Momo has automatically substituted this place as her own home...】

[Poor baby. 】

[I can't bear to watch it. 】

Here, hearing Lin Momo's words, Lin Cheng walked over, took Lin Momo's hand and led her behind him, and opened the door in front of her.

Lin Cheng frowned at the pungent musty smell.

The father and daughter looked inside.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and with the help of the faint street lights in the nearby Chaoyang community and the lights of several camera equipment in the house, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo managed to see the situation in the house.

The whole house is not big, and the space enclosed by the wardrobe and door panels is only about five or six square meters.

On the surrounding 'walls', the gaps between the cabinets were simply pasted with waste newspapers and paper shells, leaving only gaps near the roof for the convenience of light transmission without paper blocking.

As for the 'roof', it is supported by a few discarded wooden strips in a haphazard manner, covered with several pieces of tarpaulins of different sizes, there are discarded advertising cloths picked up from who knows where, and some pieces can no longer be seen Colored striped woven cloth, which was held down to the roof with a few bricks.

There are three or four broken umbrellas hanging upside down under the roof, which seem to be used to temporarily block the water when the house leaks on rainy days.

The furniture in the house was apparently discarded furniture picked up from nearby.

The innermost one was a broken bed with two layers of old mattresses, and a few wooden sticks around it, and a few pieces of rags to keep out mosquitoes were hung on the wooden sticks.

Next to it are three chairs of different styles and two old tables, one big and one small.

There is a coal-burning stove made of iron and cement, some cardboard boxes, two thermos bottles, two plastic basins of unknown quality, and some other messy things...

The whole house looked not only dirty, but also very messy.

【This, this... Are you sure it's a place where people live? 】

[It feels like the cleanliness father and daughter are going crazy. 】In the live broadcast room, someone noticed the funny appearance of Lin Cheng and Lin Momo.

——At this moment, both father and daughter were standing only two steps away from the door, looking stiff at the situation in front of them, as if they didn't want to take another step forward.

【I can already see from Momo's expression that she dislikes this place. 】

[I hate it, I hate it, but Momo didn't lose her temper at all. 】

【Momo's adaptability is still as good as ever...】

【Fortunately, it's Momo, if it was replaced by children from other groups of families, they would probably be crying like crazy by now. 】

[Don't talk about children, if it's an adult, if it's me, let me live in this kind of place, I'm probably going crazy now. 】

【My roommate told me to watch a survival show, please don't lie to me...】

…

At this moment, a bang sound from outside the wall caught the attention of Lin Cheng and Lin Momo.

The two turned around and looked outside, only to realize that it was a homeless man with his hair covering his face and several layers of dirty clothes on his body, walking staggeringly from the front of their shed with a pile of picked up lunch boxes in his hands However, the other party knocked on the door panel outside their house with the beer bottle they were holding in their hands, and only then did the sound come out.

Seeing someone coming out of the house, the homeless man lowered his head again and walked away as if nothing had happened.

Lin Momo kept staring at the homeless man nervously, until the man walked away and disappeared into another side road along the narrow passage, Lin Momo was relieved.

"It's a good thing that person doesn't live next door to us." Lin Momo muttered happily.

Lin Cheng beside her frowned deeply.

It is impossible to live here - not because the rooms are dirty, but because it is not safe to live in such a place, especially when there are children around.

"Father, shall we start packing now?" Lin Momo asked, pulling Lin Cheng's hand.

Lin Cheng sighed secretly, and said, "Don't rush to clean up."

"Take you to eat first." Lin Cheng said, patting Lin Momo's head.

"I don't..." Thinking of the pitiful living expenses this week, Lin Momo just wanted to say that she was not hungry, but at this moment her stomach growled unsatisfactorily.

"Let's go."

Lin Cheng took Lin Momo out of the shanty town and onto the street.

Just as the father and daughter were thinking about what to eat to be the most economical, a bakery by the side of the road attracted their attention.

There is a small table outside the store door, and the plates on the table hold bread and cakes cut into small pieces for customers to try and taste.

The bread and cakes covered under the transparent cover aroused Lin Momo's appetite, and at the same time reminded her of her previous experience of receiving free drinks in the film and television city.

"Sister, may I try this?" Lin Momo looked at the clerk next to her and asked in a low voice.

Lin Momo's voice drew the clerk's attention.

Looking at the father and daughter who appeared at the door of the store, the clerk was slightly stunned—although the surrounding light was a bit dark and she couldn't see clearly, she could still 'see' the appearance of the father and daughter by feeling.

"Okay, this is here to serve and eat." The clerk said, regaining his mind.

"This is our newly launched Cheese Sea Salt Cream Chiffon Cake and Melaleuca Butter Bread. You can try it. Buy some if it tastes good." A piece of cake and bread was passed to Lin Cheng and Lin Momo.

"Thank you." Lin Momo took the cake and ate a piece, the expression on his face lit up instantly.

"How does it taste?" the clerk asked with a smile on his face.

"Super delicious!" Too bad they have no money...

Lin Momo looked helplessly at the remaining cakes and bread in the lid, showing regret.

Lin Momo's appearance fell into Lin Cheng's eyes, and Lin Cheng also looked at the remaining bread and cake pieces on the table, then looked at the clerk, and asked, "How about the leftover cakes and bread to try?" If there is no other use, can you sell it to me at a lower price?"

Hearing Lin Cheng's words, the clerk was stunned - she didn't expect that the person in front of her would actually plan to buy these tasting products.

"No, no, no," regaining consciousness, the clerk quickly waved his hand and said, "These are free samples. If you think it's delicious, I can pack some for you."

After the clerk finished speaking, seeing that Lin Cheng insisted on paying, he explained: "There are no people at this point, and there are so many samples left that we can't send them out. Just pretending for you will help us solve part of it."

After a while, when their store closes, these unfinished samples will also be thrown away as kitchen waste. Giving them to the father and daughter in front of them can also prevent waste.

After understanding what the other party meant, Lin Momo raised her head and gave the other party a big smile, thanking her, "Thank you sister, you are so kind!"

The clerk was overjoyed by Lin Momo's compliment, and he simply filled them with all the bread and cake pieces from the plates in the morning and afternoon, a big bag full.

The father and daughter thanked the clerk before leaving with the bread.

The father and daughter walked away, when another clerk in the store came over.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. Aren't we going to deal with these tasters? Just now, the father and daughter came to ask for it, so I pretended to give it to them."

"Usually the old people nearby come to ask for it, and it's the first time I've seen an adult bring a child to ask for it." Said the clerk at the side.

"Maybe I want to use this to cultivate children's awareness of saving money," the clerk smiled, looked at the direction where Lin Cheng and Lin Momo were walking away, and couldn't help but murmured: "But I always feel that the father and daughter look familiar... "

—

Here, Lin Momo walked beside Lin Cheng holding tonight's 'Big Harvest', with an excited smile all over her face, and she kept muttering: "This bread is really delicious", "And we got it without spending money", "There are so many...you can eat until tomorrow morning"...

Lin Momo's appearance amused the audience in the live broadcast room:

【Obviously such a tragic week, Momo Leng made me laugh. 】

[Really, distressed and funny. 】

[Besides, hearing what Momo said, I'm a little curious about the taste of those two kinds of bread and cake. 】

[It looks a bit delicious. 】

[No, when the recording location is announced after the recording of the show, I must go to that store to buy these two kinds of bread and cakes to try, I am so curious. 】

【Haha, that's exactly what I mean too】...

here.

After getting a free dinner, Lin Cheng didn't take Lin Momo back to their residence immediately, but came to a hotel next to the street.

Before Lin Momo could ask, Lin Cheng had brought her to the front desk.

"Excuse me, how much is it for one night?" Lin Cheng asked.

"Any price is available, depending on your requirements. The room that has not been booked yet is 68 per night for a small single bed without a window in the basement, 88 per night for a double standard room, 128, 168 for a standard room with windows upstairs... "

[Lin Cheng plans to take Momo to a hotel tonight? 】

【It's impossible to live in that place, and I'm still carrying Momo, at least it's safer to live in a hotel. 】

[But Lin Cheng and the others can't afford to live. 】

[This price should be regarded as the cheapest among budget hotels here, but it turned out to be...]

[Hahaha, this is the first time I feel that the one-night accommodation at 68 is so expensive. 】

—

Here, the front desk seemed to see Lin Cheng's 'difficulty', and said again: "We also have hourly rooms, calculated by time, 28 yuan an hour."

"In addition, if you don't mind, we also have room-sharing accommodation here, and a bed costs 38 yuan."

Lin Cheng: "..."

[Hahaha, 38? 】

[This 38 is absolutely perfect. 】

[Lin Cheng must be thinking in his heart now: God **** it 38. 】

[Finally know what 50 cents is to stump a hero. 】

…

Hotel reception.

Lin Cheng originally wanted to use the reason that it is the off-season for tourist accommodation to negotiate a discount with the other party, and by the way, trouble the other party to find a shared bed room that is temporarily unoccupied.

As a result, without speaking to Lin Cheng, Lin Momo had already grabbed his hand and walked out as if 'running for his life'.

"What's wrong?" Lin Cheng lowered his head and asked.

"We don't want to stay in a hotel," Lin Momo said, then paused, and then said seriously: "If we live in a hotel, we won't have money to eat."

"And... I don't have enough money."

Hearing this, Lin Cheng wanted to explain, but seeing Lin Momo's persistent face, Lin Cheng finally let go: "Okay, go back."

—

The father and daughter soon returned to their residence.

Although the place is a bit shabby and messy, at least it doesn't cost money.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Momo's psychological acceptance of this place became higher.

Most of the houses here have no water or electricity, and it is too dark to clean them.

Therefore, Lin Cheng had no choice but to find a rag on the spot and clean it up briefly, so that the two of them had a place to sit.

inside the house.

Lin Cheng was looking at the whole house with the light of the camera equipment, considering the safety risks here.

Lin Momo sat quietly beside Lin Cheng and began to plan for the next week's livelihood with her fingers.

Because the pens and papers she brought were confiscated by the program group, she can only do mental calculations now.

"Now vegetable buns cost 2 yuan each, and we can only buy 18 buns for 37 yuan..."

"Oh...that's right! We can go to the vegetable market at night to pick up those unwanted vegetables!" Lin Momo said excitedly, but soon she thought of another practical problem: "We don't seem to have fire..."

"But eating out is very expensive."

"Let's go sell waste products, so that we can have income every day, so we don't have to worry about the money for food the next day."

"I don't know if there is a waste recycling station near here..."

"Why don't we sell this?" Lin Momo whispered, staring at the U-shaped lock given by the program group at hand: all the metal things on the doors of their house that can be sold can be taken away. All were ripped off. The top lock was not spared either.

Without the lock, the lock would be nothing but scrap metal in Lin Momo's eyes.

"It's not very heavy..." Lin Momo weighed the lock again, showing disappointment.

Lin Momo unconsciously fell asleep in such a state of worrying about livelihood issues.

—

Seeing that Lin Momo was fast asleep, Lin Cheng roughly estimated the time and planned to go out.

But because he was worried about leaving Lin Momo here, Lin Cheng could only carefully hug Lin Momo before going out.

"Well, Dad..."

"Go to sleep." Lin Cheng patted the back of Lin Momo's head lightly and said softly.

Hearing Lin Cheng's voice in a daze, Lin Momo calmed down, found a comfortable position on Lin Cheng's body, and continued to sleep.
