In order to prepare a gift for her great-grandfather who is about to meet, Lin Momo didn't go to bed until very late.
However, the next day, Lin Momo couldn't wait to get up early in the morning.
Lin Momo dug out the clothes she thought were the best looking from the closet, changed into them, and combed her hair vigorously.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Lin Momo grinned and grinned, muttered "It's so pretty", nodded in satisfaction, then turned around and began to pack other things.
…
When Lin Cheng got up, he saw that Lin Momo had already changed his clothes, and was standing neatly at the door of the house, as if ready to go.
The corner of Lin Cheng's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "Put down the schoolbag."
Hearing this, Lin Momo shook her head and said, "I'm going to go out with my back on my back later."
Lin Cheng glanced at the time and was helpless, so he had no choice but to say again: "Eat breakfast first, we will start after breakfast."
"oh."
Seeing Lin Momo putting down her schoolbag rather 'reluctantly', Lin Cheng turned and went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
—
At the dining table, Lin Momo finished a bowl of noodles and drank a large glass of milk as fast as ever, and then stared intently at Lin Cheng opposite.
At this time, Lin Cheng was eating breakfast in a leisurely manner, and was handling some work with his mobile phone in one hand.
Seeing this, Lin Momo was a little anxious, but she didn't know how to remind him.
Perhaps it was because Lin Momo's eyes were too strong, it was hard for Lin Cheng not to pay attention.
Sensing that his daughter seemed to be looking at him, Lin Cheng raised his head.
When I met Lin Momo's gaze, and found that her eyes were full of expressions of "let him eat faster", the corners of Lin Cheng's mouth twitched again.
"It's still early. Grandpa hasn't woken up at this time. Let's go later." After finishing speaking, Lin Cheng looked at the time again and said, "We'll leave in a quarter of an hour."
"All right…"
—
Lin Momo spent 15 long minutes holding Lin Cheng's cell phone.
Finally, when Lin Cheng packed up the dishes and changed his clothes, he took her out.
Along the way, Lin Momo seemed very excited, lying on the window of the car, and from time to time would pop out two lines of the theme song of "Living with Dad".
However, it didn't take long for Lin Momo to gradually calm down.
Sensing that Lin Momo suddenly stopped talking, Lin Cheng looked down at her.
"What's wrong?" Lin Cheng raised his hand and rubbed the top of Lin Momo's head, and asked.
"Well, that's..."
Lin Momo wrung her fingers and buried her head in confusion for a while, then looked up at Lin Cheng, and asked cautiously, "Would Grandpa not like me?"
Lin Momo's voice was full of tension and uneasiness: What if my great-grandfather doesn't like her and is unhappy seeing her?
Seeing Lin Momo's worry, Lin Cheng's heart tightened, and he gave Lin Momo an affirmative answer: "No, Grandpa likes you very much."
Hearing this, Lin Momo's eyes finally lit up, but she asked with some uncertainty, "Really?"
"Well, really." Lin Cheng nodded, and said again: "You have actually met Grandpa before."
"I've seen it?" Lin Momo's eyes widened in disbelief.
Just when Lin Momo was about to ask her when she met her great-grandfather and why she didn't know, the driver's voice suddenly came from the front row.
"Master, here we are."
At this time, the car had already driven into the gate of Lin's house.
Seeing Lin Cheng's car driving in, the security personnel at the door greeted him one after another.
…
On the other side, in the villa.
At this time, Mr. Lin was sitting in his garden sulking.
At this time, Butler Zhou came behind Mr. Lin.
"Master, the young master and the others are back." Butler Zhou said with a smile on his face.
At this moment, Mr. Lin was still angry because he didn't see his precious great-grandson when he went to the airport. He didn't pay attention to what Steward Zhou said was "they". Hearing what the other party said, Mr. Lin waved his hands indifferently and said: "Come on, come on, what's the matter, is it possible that I have to greet him when he comes home?"
"And there's no food for him in this house, what's that **** doing here?" Mr. Lin straightened up from the reclining chair, and said dissatisfiedly again.
"Let him roll."
"Cough, you've already come in." Butler Zhou reminded with a dry cough.
Hearing this, Mr. Lin turned his head and saw Lin Cheng standing beside Butler Zhou.
Looking at Lin Cheng, Mr. Lin was still stuck in half of his throat with a 'roll', and saw a small figure move out from behind Lin Cheng nervously.
Two pairs of eyes, one big and one small, meet.
"!" Mr. Lin was taken aback for a moment, and then his entire facial expression changed from disgust and impatience to surprise at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Little Momo! Oh, it's our little Momo." Mr. Lin got up from the reclining chair excitedly, and walked towards Lin Momo.
Looking at the old man in front of him, Lin Momo was dumbfounded.
"You, aren't you the illegitimate student that day—" The illegitimate fan grandpa?
Hearing the words 'illegitimate fan', old man Lin's excited face flashed with embarrassment.
That day, after returning from Binjiang Yipin where Lin Cheng lived, Mr. Lin specifically asked Zhou Ming and a few young people what the meaning of "illegitimate fan" was. After learning the true meaning of this term, Mr. Lin was in a bad mood.
"Uh, I'm not an illegitimate fan. I'm your father's grandfather, Momo's great-grandfather." The old man explained to Lin Momo in a gentle tone, trying to erase the "illegitimate fan" from his great-granddaughter's mind. 'This label.
At this time, Lin Momo's mind was full of the consciousness that the illegitimate fan was the great grandfather, and the great grandfather was the illegitimate fan, and she was a little dazed.
So Mr. Lin hurriedly explained: "Grandfather went to see you in the small restaurant, and also at the place where you and your father lived, because grandpa misses our little Momo so much, and can't wait to see you."
The liking and excitement in the old man's eyes were not adulterated at all. Sensing the old man's kindness, Lin Momo suddenly smiled at Mr. Lin.
"I've always wanted to see my great-grandfather too." Lin Momo raised her voice—since she found the name 'Lin Yuanchang' on the household registration book.
Hearing what Lin Momo said, Mr. Lin felt as if his heart was blooming, and his entire face immediately blossomed with joy.
"Okay, okay," Mr. Lin said several "yes" words in a row, and then said: "I have prepared a lot of gifts for Momo, come quickly, and go and see with Grandpa."
While talking, Mr. Lin excitedly led Lin Momo into the house.
I don't want the crutches next to the recliner, nor do I want Lin Cheng beside me.
—
One old and one young walked into the house.
Mr. Lin first led Lin Momo around the entire villa, introduced the house to her one by one, and finally led Lin Momo to the room that had been prepared for her.
"This one is Momo's room." As Mr. Lin said, he signaled the nanny beside him to open the door.
Lin Momo was stunned by the sight—the whole room is very, very large, and the overall look is a very warm light pink, with a beige bed decorated with pink decorations, cute cabinets and other furniture...
Among them, a huge glass door cabinet caught Lin Momo's attention.
In the cabinet, there are all kinds of dolls.
On the top is a row of Mickey and Minnie dolls, which look very similar to those sent by the non-profit organization when Lin Momo was recording the show. At that time, Lin Momo felt that this kind of doll was the most beautiful among the dolls distributed, so she was deeply impressed.
The row below is a row of khaki caterpillar dolls, which are exactly the same as the one Lin Cheng gave her. The difference is that this row of caterpillars in the cabinet are all arranged to wear custom-made little princess dresses. …ugly and delicate.
The next few rows are all SpongeBob dolls, with various expressions and styles.
only…
"Why didn't you send a big star?" Lin Momo asked suspiciously, pointing to the dolls in the cabinet.
"You mean that mentally handicapped fat man? Yes, yes, over there." Mr. Lin pointed to a certain pink figure in the far corner and said to Lin Momo.
This style of dolls SpongeBob SquarePants, Pai Daxing and Squidward Brother are sewn together, otherwise, Mr. Lin would not want the "buy two get one free" pink fat guy.
"And here, here are the books for Momo, and by the way, there are clothes..." Mr. Lin pointed to several other places and said to Lin Momo.
Coming to the closet, Lin Momo opened her mouth slightly when she saw a closet full of clothes.
"These are the clothes my grandpa picked out for our little Momo, don't they look good?" Elder Lin asked expectantly.
Lin Momo nodded stiffly, and couldn't help staring at these clothes a few more times - she always felt that the style of these clothes was very familiar, just like the pink clothes hanging in the closet on the other side of her house.
Thinking of something, Lin Momo's eyes moved, and she looked at Mr. Lin: "I know! Those clothes at the house where my father and I live are also given to me by my grandfather?"
Mr. Lin was a little surprised by Lin Momo's observation skills, so he nodded.
"Thank you, grandpa." Lin Momo said.
"I also have a gift for my grandfather."
"Momo prepared a gift for me? What kind of gift?" Mr. Lin looked forward to it.
"This." Lin Momo said as she took out the gift she had prepared for Mr. Lin from her schoolbag.
When handing the gift to Old Master Lin, Lin Momo was a little embarrassed, because compared with the gift that her great-grandfather gave her, this gift didn't seem very good.
This is an A4-sized paper, folded in half, Lin Momo painted the front with a gray-green background color, and added yellow flowers and blue ribbons, it looks like the same A greeting card is average.
Although it was hand-painted, one could see Lin Momo's care in preparing this gift from every single stroke.
Looking back, on the back of the greeting card is a paragraph written by Lin Momo: [Grandpa, hello: I am Momo, this is the first time I see you, this is a gift I prepared for you, I hope you like it. 】
Mr. Lin was deeply moved by the simple sentence.
"There's more inside." Lin Momo reminded.
Mr. Lin opened the greeting card. Inside was a painting. In the middle, Lin Momo painted the backs of three people, one tall, one middle-aged and one short. The bottom background Lin Momo was divided into four parts, drawing four different pictures. A painting of an architectural scene.
"This is…"
"This is the place where I went to record the show with my dad in the previous four weeks. I drew all the things I think are the most beautiful on it."
After all, Lin Momo pointed to each of the background paintings and explained to Mr. Lin: "This is a theme park not far from where my father and I live when we went to record the first episode of the show..."
"This one is on the street where we have a small restaurant..."
"This is in the film and television city. There are many snack bars and cold drink shops on this street."
"You received a lot of free milk tea and coffee here, didn't you?" After taking Lin Momo's words, Mr. Lin asked with a smile on his face.
Hearing this, Lin Momo looked at the old man in surprise, as if asking him how he knew.
Mr. Lin smiled and explained, "I've watched every episode of your and your father's shows."
"real?!"
"Of course." Speaking of this, Mr. Lin took out his tablet and showed it to Lin Momo: "Look, I voted for you."
Although the support value of fans in Lin Cheng and Lin Momo's live broadcast room is still the lowest among the five groups of families, and is far behind the other groups, Mr. Lin has become the top of the list of fans in Lin Cheng's live broadcast room with his amazing perseverance. .
Mr. Lin is quite proud of this.
—
Outside the room, Lin Cheng opened the door and glanced at the old and young couple inside. Seeing that Lin Momo did not reject Mr. Lin, and at this moment, the two were already sharing interesting stories about the recording of the program with familiar faces. Lin Cheng Smiled, relieved to answer the phone.
The call was made by the people in charge of several companies below, and their purpose of calling was to tell Lin Cheng that Lin Xiao was back and was about to start laying off staff.
Hearing this, Lin Cheng sneered: "I see, don't bother with his decision, next week's meeting will be changed to Saturday, and I will announce the company's new personnel appointment at the meeting."
…
here.
The conversation between Lin Momo and Mr. Lin has moved from the previous program to the next task.
"Next week, my father and I are going to farm and raise poultry and small animals." Lin Momo said to Mr. Lin.
Hearing this, Zhou Ming, who was standing outside the door, opened his mouth, wanting to correct Lin Momo's statement: next week their task is to be the manager of the farm, to run it, just like running an amusement park A super-large farmhouse is similar, and not all of them do the physical work of farming and feeding pigs.
But Zhou Ming's words were stopped by Mr. Lin.
"That's it," Mr. Lin nodded following Lin Momo's words, and asked again: "Then do you have the confidence to complete the task?"
"I don't know." Lin Momo shook her head.
[Family background] The information on the card indicates that their annual income is ±6 million, but in Lin Momo's concept, there is no difference between 600,000, 6 million, or even 600 million.
"But I haven't grown vegetables before, so I don't know if I can grow them well." Lin Momo whispered, with a sad face.
According to the Internet, farming is not a simple matter. Different types of vegetables have different sowing time, required temperature, soil, irrigation water amount, and fertilization methods.
Lin Momo wasn't sure if she could do well.
Seeing his great-granddaughter's frowning face, Mr. Lin felt a little distressed, so he waved his hand and said, "Isn't it just farming, Momo can't, Grandpa can teach you, let's learn it at home and then go to the show to plant it." Isn't there nothing to be afraid of?"
"Really?" Lin Momo's eyes lit up, and she asked again, "Grandpa, do you know how to farm?"
"Of course, there's nothing difficult about farming. Grandpa can do everything." Mr. Lin said confidently. After finishing speaking, he took Lin Momo to the garden behind the villa, and asked someone to bring a gardener to plant flowers by the way. Professional tools used.
Steward Zhou and Zhou Ming, who were following behind, looked at each other silently after hearing the old man's bold words, with shame on their faces.
The Lin family has been in business for several generations. At most, Mr. Lin has a little theoretical knowledge of planting flowers, where to plant and what land.
—
In the garden, the workers brought tools, and Mr. Lin directly aimed at a camellia to be dried.
"This is a flower, which is different from a vegetable." Lin Momo couldn't help but said beside her.
Mr. Lin waved his hands indifferently, and said: "Growing vegetables and flowers are all kinds of plants, and everything is always the same. The truth is the same. Only by practicing can we find the truth."
— Seems to make sense?
Lin Momo nodded with a vague understanding, and continued to listen to Mr. Lin's teaching seriously.
Here, Mr. Lin has already dug out the camellia plant with the camellia head, and dug the soil next to it to fill the hole.
"Look, the flower is outside now. Let's loosen the surrounding soil, dig a hole of about the same size in the soil, put the flower in it, and fill it with the surrounding soil again. Sprinkle some granular fertilizer, water it, and finally pat the soil down, and that's it."
"Then it's the sowing," the old man broke off a few more camellia heads, and said to Lin Momo, "Let's just assume that these flower heads are seeds, and they're still the same. Loosen the soil and dig holes..."
While Mr. Lin was explaining, he was demonstrating to Lin Momo.
Lin Momo listened carefully from the side.
These two people perfectly explained what it meant to be one who dares to teach and one who dares to learn.
Looking at the camellia plant that was pulled out by the old man and planted in again, now crooked and scattered, a drop of cold sweat fell on Zhou Ming's forehead.
"The old man is reckless!" Zhou Ming couldn't help but whispered.
As for that camellia, that variety, that appearance, it is really expensive!
Zhou Ming wanted to go up to stop Mr. Lin, but was held back by Housekeeper Zhou.
Steward Zhou shook his head towards Zhou Ming and the other gardeners who wanted to persuade Mr. Lin, and said, "Let the old man go. I haven't seen the old man so happy and energetic for a long time."
Before Steward Zhou could finish his sentence, he saw that Mr. Lin not far away had extended his claws to a bonsai, and was going to use this bonsai to explain to Lin Momo the principles of maintenance and pruning of fruit trees.
With a sound of 'click', another valuable bonsai 'disappeared' under the old man's grasp.
Butler Zhou: "..."
Gardener: My heart is bleeding.
Fortunately, the artificially planted flowers and plants themselves should be pruned, turned over, and part of the flower heads and branches and leaves should be removed after a certain period of time.
It's just that the old man made some manipulations to advance the work that they could have started two months later.
—However, at any rate, the old man also helped them complete half of the work.
The gardeners comforted themselves in their hearts.
