Lin Momo took Lin Cheng out of the shantytown where they lived temporarily, and came to the nearby Chaoyang Community.
Because it is an old-fashioned housing, many places on the first floor of the community have been converted by residents into their own courtyards or practical cement stone tables.
"Dad, look at this." Lin Momo pointed to something on one of the stone tables and said to Lin Cheng.
At this time, several bamboo dustpans were placed on the stone table, and some sun-dried miscellaneous grains were placed in the dustpans.
"I asked before, this is made of millet," Lin Momo explained, and explained to Lin Cheng with a serious face: "It is to cook the millet first, and then add a little flour to make it thinner." One piece, when it is a bit hard, cut it into small diamond-shaped pieces, wait until it is completely dried and then put it away. When you want to eat it, fry it in oil, eh—or soak it in noodle soup, it’s super tasty."
Hearing Lin Momo's serious introduction, Lin Cheng raised his eyebrows, looked down at her, and asked with a light smile, "You know it's super delicious?"
Facing Lin Cheng's rhetorical question, Lin Momo's face turned hot, she smiled at Lin Cheng guilty, and said firmly, "I knew it, it's really delicious."
The conversation between the father and daughter made the audience in the live broadcast room who knew the truth burst into laughter:
【Haha, Dad Momo doesn't know what happened after he went out today. 】
[I don't know if Momo really ate it. 】
Later today, after Lin Cheng went out, Yang Fang from next door came to the aunt's house in the community to pick up the tap water. Lin Momo said she would help, so she brought Lin Momo and her two children over.
At that time, an elderly family on the first floor was drying these pieces of millet while frying some pieces of millet that had been dried on the earthen stove in the yard.
The aroma of fried millet can be smelled from several meters away.
Not far away, the old man saw the three children looking at this side with a look of "looking forward to see through", so he smiled and took a few pieces of fried crispy golden millet from the large colander next to him and handed them to the three.
After eating the food from others, Lin Momo and the others were really embarrassed, so they helped the old man take out all the leftover millet pancakes to dry, and also asked for advice on how to make these things.
【Momo: It's so fragrant, I can't hold it back. 】
[Stop talking, don't we Momo want to lose face? Hahaha. 】
…
Here, after being interrupted by Lin Cheng, Lin Momo remembered what she was going to say.
"That's not what I want to say." Lin Momo said with a serious face.
"What's that?" Lin Cheng asked patiently, holding back a smile.
"Our bean dregs can also be made like this." Lin Momo said, paused, and seemed to be talking to himself, "The bean dregs cakes are so delicious, and they will definitely be delicious when made into thin slices , and in this way, even if you can’t sell it that day, you don’t have to worry about it being broken.”
Hearing Lin Momo's words, Lin Cheng thought for a while and gave an affirmative answer: "Yes."
It’s just that the viscosity of bean dregs is not as high as that of carbohydrate-based ingredients. If you want to make similar blocky slices, and ensure that you can keep the shape after frying and have a certain fluffy and crispy taste, the ratio of bean dregs, flour and starch needs to be It takes several trials to be sure.
"Then let's try it tomorrow!"
"good."
Hearing Lin Cheng say yes, the expression on Lin Momo's face immediately jumped up.
At this moment, two old ladies who came back from a walk passed by here.
Seeing Lin Momo, the two old ladies stopped.
"Isn't this Xiao Momo?" An old lady said with a smile on her face.
Lin Momo turned her head, looked at the two of them, and greeted them politely: "Good evening, Grandma Wei and Grandma Wang, have you had dinner yet?"
"Eat, has Xiao Momo eaten?"
"I've eaten, today's bean dregs themed dinner."
"Ouch, is it?"
…
Lin Cheng on the side watched his daughter greet and chat with the two old ladies familiarly, with a bit of surprise on his face: He has only been out for a few hours, why does he feel that this girl is already familiar in this area?
Here, the two old ladies have warmly invited Lin Cheng and Lin Momo to enjoy the cool in their yard.
Lin Cheng didn't refuse, but Lin Momo went back and called the two daughters of Hu Mao and Yang Fang's family together.
Several people came to a small courtyard in the middle of the community.
The yard is surrounded by several old-fashioned residential buildings next to it, with a flower stand and a few trees planted in the middle, surrounded by some simple benches made of cement and stone piers, as well as some old sofas and old benches.
At this time, many elderly residents or children upstairs and downstairs came to the yard to enjoy the shade. The children were playing, and the old men, old ladies, aunts and aunts sat together in twos and threes chatting with each other.
The content of these people's chats is nothing more than some interesting things that happened recently, old-fashioned things from more than ten years ago, which bad girl appeared in a certain TV series, and some gossip about the family and the family. Lin Cheng was not very interested in these topics, but Lin Momo beside him was listening to the gossip with great interest while shaking his legs.
The eldest daughter of Hu Mao's family and her younger sister were sitting in the crowd, looking a little nervous.
—Before, apart from following the adults to pick up the running water and recharge at the two old grandma’s houses here, they hardly came to the community here, and there were no children here to play with them.
But they were children after all, and soon the two of them got used to this environment, and followed Lin Momo to listen to the old people's gossip with great interest.
[I haven't seen this kind of atmosphere for a long time. 】In the live broadcast room, someone said with emotion.
[I also think that although gossip is quite boring, the atmosphere feels quite harmonious. 】
[Except for this decades-old small courtyard, it is rare to have this kind of atmosphere now. 】
[It was like this when I lived in the old house. After eating, the upstairs and downstairs brought my grandson to the yard to hang out and chat. After moving to the new community, there is no such atmosphere. 】
[I don't know why, seeing Lin Cheng and Momo sitting here, it's obviously noisy, but there is a feeling of quiet time. 】
[I feel the same way, and I suddenly feel that it is good to let my eyes off the phone occasionally. 】
…
Here, children are children after all. At the beginning, Lin Momo and Hu Mao's two children could concentrate on listening to the aunts and aunts talking about their daily routines. After a long time, they sat on small stools, and their eyes had passed through the first floor. The window bars of the homes fell onto the televisions inside.
At this time, Yang Fang, who was busy at home, came here. On the one hand, she was looking for a child, and on the other hand, she also planned to take this opportunity to inquire about renting a house from the residents of the community.
After asking about the time, Lin Cheng planned to go back, but seeing Lin Momo whose eyes were almost glued to the TV set beside him, Lin Cheng had no choice but to hand Lin Momo to Yang Fang, and then talked with the cameraman who stayed not far away. After explaining, he returned to their residence first.
Back in the shanty town, Hu Mao next door was very surprised to see Lin Cheng took out the wallpaper and tools for pasting the wallpaper.
"Are you going to put wallpaper in the house?" Hu Mao asked.
When Lin Cheng came back, the lights in the neighborhood were not on yet, because it was dark, and he didn't pay attention to what Lin Cheng bought. Only at this time could he see the pile of wallpaper clearly with the help of the light.
Lin Cheng nodded: "It's better to post it."
Previously, their house was made of waste cabinets and wooden door panels. Each door panel cabinet was of different sizes and styles, and the 'walls' in the room were also uneven.
Even though Lin Cheng found a colored steel plate with foam to pave the inner 'wall' again, Lin Momo tried hard to wipe the wall clean, but the whole house still looked dilapidated.
In the past, Hu Mao would not agree with Lin Cheng's actions. After all, they would not live here for too long, so there was no need to make such a fuss. But after getting in touch with the father and daughter these two days, Hu Mao seemed to understand Lin Cheng's behavior. Considered.
"It just so happens that I'm done with my work here, and I have to wait until 11 o'clock to go out. There's nothing wrong with this meeting. Let me help you." Hu Mao said.
On the other side, Huang Yang, who had just finished work, also came over to help when he saw this.
The small solar lights that Lin Cheng bought before, together with the light bulbs pulled from Huang Yang, illuminate the whole room.
Huang Yang had tools at home, so he quickly mixed two small buckets of glutinous rice glue.
Together, Lin Cheng and Hu Mao cleaned the few furniture in the house outside, and polished the 'wall' with sandpaper to increase the roughness.
The few people who finished the preparations started to paste the wallpaper.
Except for the cartoon-patterned wallpaper, Lin Cheng bought other wallpapers with similar vertical stripes, and there was no need to deliberately align the patterns, so there was not much waste.
The room itself is not big, and with three people operating together, the wallpaper of the entire room was quickly pasted.
Lin Cheng did not waste the remaining materials and wallpaper, and wrapped the wooden frame of the bed that had been removed from the outer rags again.
—
Lin Momo on the other side still remembered the previous agreement with Lin Cheng: go back after watching one episode.
So after the episode of Breakthrough, Lin Momo consciously followed Yang Fang back to their residence.
"!"
The moment she opened the door, Lin Momo thought she had gone by the wrong way, so she said "I'm sorry" awkwardly, and hurried out of the room.
However, the moment he exited the room, Lin Momo was dumbfounded again.
"That's right..." Lin Momo glanced at the stickers and cameras of the "Living with Dad" program group in the corner of the eaves, and muttered to herself.
Lin Momo cautiously opened the door a crack, looked inside, then rubbed her eyes vigorously as if unbelieving, trying to make sure if she was wrong.
At this time, Lin Cheng's voice with a hint of a smile sounded behind Lin Momo: "It's your home."
"Really?!" Lin Momo looked at Lin Cheng in surprise.
Seeing Lin Cheng push open the door, Lin Momo followed Lin Cheng into the room.
"How did our house become so beautiful." She only went out for a while.
Lin Momo opened her mouth wide, and looked around the room with her eyes, as if she didn't want to miss any details.
Because Lin Cheng didn't buy wallpapers of the same color, so the styles of each part of the house are different.
The wall facing the door and next to the bed is a cartoon-style wallpaper. The background color of the wallpaper is a light beige with some pinkish colors. A cartoon image in the shape of a rabbit...
The other three walls are covered with vertical stripes of wallpaper, beige, flesh pink, light brown, and beige. Lin Cheng interspersed and pasted different colors on the walls. Although the colors are different, they don't look the same because the colors are similar. It doesn't feel abrupt, but has a special, vivid and harmonious feeling.
Under the decoration of the wallpaper, the small room looks very warm. If you don't look outside, you won't even think that this is a room in a shanty town.
"It's so pretty..." Lin Momo murmured to herself with her mouth still open and her face full of disbelief.
At this time, the audience in the live broadcast room had the same idea as Lin Momo:
【It's really good looking. 】
[When Lin Cheng bought wallpaper before, I was quite worried. I was afraid that it would be weird if he bought different wallpapers and pasted them together. I didn't expect the effect of pasting to be so good. 】
[Haha, it seems that Lin Cheng's aesthetics is still very online. 】
[Looking at this room, I suddenly feel like crying. 】
[Me too, inexplicably touched. 】
【+1】
[When Lin Cheng was going to put up the wallpaper, I was quite complaining about it. I was going to leave after staying for a few more days. There was no need to waste money on putting up the wallpaper. It’s better to save the money for living expenses, at least for the next few days. It's easy...but seeing the reaction of the good girl goose, I seem to be able to understand Lin Cheng's approach. 】
【Me too, seeing Momo so happy, I also think the money was well spent. 】
[Lin Cheng wants to do his best to keep the beauty of the child's world, even if it's just for a week. 】
[Although I have no children, I seem to understand the heart of being a parent. I always want to give my children the best I can give. 】
…
"The remaining materials can be pasted on this!" Lin Momo looked around the room, pointing to the few remaining wallpapers and the 'multi-purpose' iron bucket that she was reluctant to sell. Cheng said.
"Can."
"I'll do it." With the previous experience of pasting wallpaper, Lin Cheng quickly pasted a circle of cartoon-style wallpaper on the outside of the iron bucket.
"Now this bucket and our family are in the same series." Lin Momo said.
Lin Cheng chuckled twice, but did not correct Lin Momo's imprecise description.
"Let's go out and wash up."
"good."
When the father and daughter finished washing and Lin Cheng packed up the tools in the house, threw away the waste, and returned to the house, Lin Momo was lying on the bed excitedly and staring at the surroundings, humming intermittently. The theme song of "Living with Dad".
After humming a theme song, Lin Momo began to mutter again.
"Dad, look, this is a cat." Lin Momo pointed to the pattern on the wallpaper beside the bed and said to Lin Cheng.
Apparently Lin Cheng's response was not needed, Lin Momo continued to mutter: "That's a little rabbit, there are also owls, little sheep, little hedgehogs...all so cute..."
Lin Momo's appearance made Lin Cheng secretly amused.
But seeing Lin Momo so excited that he was murmuring and not sleeping, Lin Cheng suddenly had a headache again.
"Sleep well, don't mutter any more." Lin Cheng said.
"Well, good."
Lin Momo finally calmed down, but her joy could not be concealed on her face.
It wasn't until Lin Cheng pretended to be serious and said: "I'm going to turn off the light", that Lin Momo finally calmed down, pretending to be lying down and sleeping.
Lin Cheng also lay down on the recliner beside the bed, and turned off the small solar lamp beside the bed.
Not long after, Lin Momo reached out and quietly turned on the small light, taking the opportunity to admire the appearance of the room again.
"Lin Momo."
"Well, I'm asleep!" Lin Momo quickly turned off the light.
The house finally fell silent.
However, this silence has not been maintained for 2 minutes, and another rustling sound came from Lin Cheng's ear.
Just when Lin Cheng was about to adopt the attitude of a 'stern father' to educate a child who was not sleeping, Lin Momo called out: "Dad."
Lin Cheng turned his head, and following the faint light coming in from outside, Lin Cheng saw that Lin Momo was staring at him with his eyes wide open. On Lin Momo's face, there seemed to be Tibetan Can't help laughing.
"What's wrong?" Lin Cheng asked.
"It's okay." Lin Momo laughed twice.
"Thank you." Lin Momo whispered to Lin Cheng again, then turned over, covered the quilt and fell asleep obediently.
…
The next day Lin Momo woke up early in the morning.
Lin Momo was still a little sleepy at first, but when she saw the drastically changed house around her, she couldn't bear to sleep, and she lay on the bed and began to admire her surroundings.
It wasn't until she remembered what she had to do today that Lin Momo looked away and woke up Lin Cheng next to her.
"What time is it?" Lin Cheng asked.
They didn't have a mobile phone or other things this week. Lin Momo didn't know the time, but she knew that there were two large camera devices in the house to see the time.
Lin Momo took a look behind one of the camera equipment, returned to Lin Cheng, and said, "4:27."
Lin Cheng: "..."
"Today we still have to make bean dregs slices, we have to buy a few dustpans like the one at Grandma Yan's house, and maybe we have to prepare some other materials, so that if we don't do well, we can do it again , By the way, we still need to find a place that is convenient to dry. We can set up a small platform next to Uncle Hu's earthen stove, the temperature next to the earthen stove is higher, and the effect is better..."
Lin Cheng didn't open his eyes, but Lin Momo muttered to himself.
And Lin Cheng gradually sobered up amidst such thoughts.
At this time, there were not many people online in the live broadcast room, but there were still some viewers who were already online at this point in time.
【Why does Momo get up so early? 】
【I'm different from Momo. Momo wakes up early, but I go to bed late. 】
[I'm the same as upstairs. I just finished the plan, and I was about to take a look at the good girl goose before going to sleep. But when I went online, Momo's thoughts made me whole. Thinking that I still have so much work to do, I suddenly couldn't fall asleep. 】
【Haha, we are different. I was about to get up to catch the early bus, so Momo was sleepy. 】
…
[I didn't realize that Momo could chatter so well. 】
[Haha, there is a lot of chatter potential. 】
【Momo: No, none of you understand me. I was worried about this family early in the morning. 】
