At this time, the audience in the livestream channel also had the same thoughts as Lin Momo:

[Ahh! It really looks good!]

[When Lin Cheng bought those wallpaper, I was quite worried. I was afraid that if he bought different wallpapers and pieced them together, it would look weird when he put them up together. I didn’t expect that the effect would be so good. ]

[Haha, it seems that Lin Cheng’s aesthetics is still very first-rate. ]

[Looking at this room, I feel like crying. ]

[Me too, I’m inexplicably so moved. ]

[When Lin Cheng was preparing to put up the wallpaper, I actually complained a lot. They would have to leave anyway after staying for a few more days. There was no need to waste money on putting up the wallpaper. It was better to save the money for living expenses and at least then, they can relax in the next few days… But after seeing the reaction of the good little goose ¹seem to be able to understand Lin Cheng’s approach.]

[Me too, seeing Momo so happy, I think the money was well spent.]

[Lin Cheng is trying his best to keep his child’s world beautiful, even if it’s just for a week. ]

[Although I don’t have children, I seem to understand the feeling of being a parent. I too will always want to give my children the best I can.]

… …

Lin Momo looked around the room and pointed at the few remaining scraps of wallpapers and the ‘multi-purpose’ metal bucket that she had been reluctant to sell. “The remaining wallpapers can be pasted on this!” she said to Lin Cheng.

“Okay. I’ll do it.” Now with experience in pasting wallpaper, Lin Cheng moved quickly and pasted the cartoon-style wallpaper around the metal bucket.

“Now this bucket and our home are from the same series,” Lin Momo said with approval.

Lin Cheng chuckled and did not correct Lin Momo’s confused description. ”Let’s go out and wash up,” he said instead.

“Okay.”

When the father and daughter finished washing up, Lin Cheng packed up the tools they used and threw away the scraps. When he returned to the house, Lin Momo was already lying down but was still full of excitement. She gazed at the walls around the bed, humming the theme song of [Living with Dad].

After humming the theme song, Lin Momo began to chatter again.

“Dad, look, this is a cat,” Lin Momo said, pointing to the pattern on the wallpaper next to the bed.

It seemed that Lin Cheng’s response was not needed at all; Lin Momo continued to mutter, “That’s a little rabbit, and there are owls, little sheep, and little hedgehogs over there… They’re all so cute…”

Lin Momo’s appearance really made Lin Cheng secretly amused.

But seeing Lin Momo chattering with excitement and not sleeping, Lin Cheng suddenly had a headache again.

“Sleep well and stop mumbling,” Lin Cheng said.

“Ah, okay.”

Lin Momo finally calmed down, but she still couldn’t hide the joy on her face.

It wasn’t until Lin Cheng pretended to be serious and said, “I’m going to turn off the lights now,” that Lin Momo finally calmed down and pretended to lie down and sleep.

Lin Cheng also lay down on the recliner next to the bed and turned off the small solar lamp next to the bed.

Not long after, Lin Momo reached out and quietly turned on the small light, taking the opportunity to appreciate the appearance of the room again.

“Lin Momo.”

“Ah, I’m asleep!” Lin Momo quickly turned off the small light.

The room finally fell silent.

However, this silence didn’t last for even 2 minutes when another rustling sound reached Lin Cheng’s ears.

Just when Lin Cheng was about to show off his ‘strict dad’ attitude to teach this little child who wasn’t sleeping well, he heard Lin Momo call out, “Dad.”

Lin Cheng turned his head. There was a faint light coming from outside, and Lin Cheng could see Lin Momo’s wide-open eyes, looking straight at him. Lin Momo had a smile on her face that she couldn’t even hide.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Cheng asked.

“Nothing, nothing,” Lin Momo laughed. 

“Thank you,” Lin Momo whispered to Lin Cheng, then turned over, covered herself with quilt, and fell asleep.

… …

Lin Momo woke up early the next morning.

Originally, Lin Momo was still a little sleepy, but when she again saw the big changes around her, she immediately couldn’t bear to sleep anymore. She lay on the bed and started to gaze around the room.

It wasn’t until she remembered what she had to do today that Lin Momo withdrew her gaze and woke up Lin Cheng who was sleeping on the recliner next to her.

“What time is it?” Lin Cheng asked.

They didn’t have mobile phones or other things this week. Lin Momo didn’t know the time, but she knew there were two large camera equipment in the house where the time could be seen.

Lin Momo took a look behind one of the camera equipment, returned to Lin Cheng, and said, “4:27 am.”

Lin Cheng: “…”

“Today we have to make soya dregs crisps, and we have to sell them. We need to prepare some wicker pans and other materials like those at Grandma Yan’s house. And we have to practice, so that if we don’t do a good job, we can do it again. By the way, we also need to find a place that is convenient for drying. We can build a small table next to Uncle Hu’s earthen stove. The temperature near the earthen stove is higher and the effect for drying would be better…”

Lin Cheng did not open his eyes, but Lin Momo continued to mutter to herself like this.

Eventually, Lin Cheng also gradually woke up, his thoughts filled with Lin Momo’s mutterings.

At this time of the day, there were not many people online in the livestream channel, but there were still some viewers who were already online.

[Why did Momo get up so early?]

[Momo and I are different. Momo gets up early, but I go to bed late.]

[I’m the same as the poster above. I just finished working on my project and was about to take a look at the good little goose before going to bed. But as soon as I went online, Momo’s random thoughts refreshed me. Thinking that I still have so much work to do, I suddenly couldn’t sleep. ]

[Haha, we are different. I got up early to catch the train and found Momo was not sleepy at all.]

[I didn’t realize that Momo could talk so much. ]

[Momo: No, you all don’t understand me. I am only worrying about my family this early in the morning.]

[Haha, she does have the potential to be a chatterbox. ]
