After Lin Cheng went out, Lin Momo sat obediently in the shop.

This state lasted for about 4 minutes—before Lin Momo moved.

In the livestream, many viewers laughed when they saw Lin Momo standing up from the chair and starting to wander around the store: 

[Haha, she’s moving. It’s impossible to make children sit still.]

[Let me tell you, little Momo can’t wait so obediently.]

[What is she going to do?]

Seeing Lin Momo running to a corner with her suitcase in her arms where the camera could not record it, some viewers raised questions.

But soon, Lin Momo came out. She had changed out of the clothes that Chen Yu and Xu Jia had specially prepared for her for recording the program and put on her own clothes that were considerably older-looking.

Lin Momo planned to clean up the place before Lin Cheng came back.

Lin Momo walked around the store again and found a few cleaning tools that were barely usable.

Looking at the scattered tables, chairs and benches in the shop, Lin Momo tried to push them to the side, but she was not strong enough, and the tables did not move at all.

Helpless, Lin Momo had no choice but to just carry the twenty stools and move them one by one to the wall and stack them. 

… …

“Uncle, can you lend me a basin of water?” Lin Momo asked. 

“Water?” The noodle shop owner was stunned, but looking at Lin Momo’s posture, he quickly realized what she meant and said, “Water, you say? That’s fine. No problem. The faucet is there. You want some? Take as many as you like.” 

After that, he glanced at the pail in Lin Momo’s hand, which was almost half the height of her. The boss warned, “Be careful not to spill.” 

“Okay,” 

Lin Momo filled most of the pail of water from the faucet at the entrance of the noodle shop, said ‘thank you’ to the noodle shop boss, and then walked back to their own shop with the pail of water in hand. 

Seeing the skinny little child swaying side to side as she carried a large pail of water, the noodle shop owner sweatdropped for her. Fortunately, although the water in Lin Momo’s pail sloshed around the entire way, it did not spill out.

After clearing up space for cleaning, Lin Momo picked up the broom and started her work.

Her first job is to sweep up all the garbage scattered on the ground and put it into the only intact trash can in the store, and then take it to the garbage collection point on the opposite side of the road to dump it out.

Lin Momo’s movements were not very fast, and she ran back and forth seven or eight times in total.

“Pay attention to your safety and watch the road.” The noodle shop next door reminded Lin Momo when he saw Lin Momo running back and forth carrying garbage, and then kindly lent Lin Momo the larger trash can with two small wheels at the bottom. 

With the help of the trash can courtesy of the noodle shop owner, Lin Momo’s efficiency improved a lot. After two more trips, she finally cleaned up the garbage and unnecessary things in the store.

When Lin Momo went to return the trash can, she also took another pail of water.

“Working so hard ah.”

Seeing Lin Momo return to the store safely, the noodle shop owner breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little surprised in his heart. A few days ago, someone from the recording team went to the store next door to install recording equipment, so he asked a few questions and got an explanation from the other party. When he heard  that they were going to record a reality show in the store next door, he originally wondered if some celebrity was coming.

But after a brief encounter, the boss felt that the father and daughter did not look like the celebrities he had imagined. Instead, they were very down-to-earth, especially this child, who looked exactly like a child from an ordinary family, even a child from a poor family…

“It seems that the life of an artist who’s not famous is not better than that of ordinary people…” The noodle shop owner rubbed his chin and muttered.

If no one had told him, he would have thought that the two people next door were serious businessmen!

… …

At the other shop, after returning with the clean water, Lin Momo found a few more rags and started wiping the table.

First the tables, chairs and benches, and then the table glass, Lin Momo wiped every accessible place twice.

Lin Momo’s movements were not quick and her progress was not fast, but she did it very seriously and would not miss any corner as long as it could be reached.

[It feels like little Momo is getting more and more experienced in cleaning.] 

Such a comment floated on the barrage, and it quickly aroused the echo of other viewers.

[Does practice make perfect? I’m crying and laughing.]

[Why shouldn’t it? It’s been three episodes now…]

Most of the viewers squatting in Lin Cheng and Lin Momo’s livestream channel were originally passersby who became fans of the two because of the show. They had watched the previous two livestreams. Everyone seemed to be used to the ‘survival’ style of this father-daughter duo, so they didn’t think Lin Momo’s cleaning at this time was just for show or scripted.

Instead, they felt that Lin Momo was quite sensible.

[Speaking of which, Lin Cheng actually got this kind of beginning for three consecutive periods.]

… …

The livestreams of the other teams were also in progress.

This week, Duan Bei and Gao Yuankai had drawn jobs in house sales and advertising planning, respectively. Although the work was not easy, fortunately, everything they needed was there and their children did not have to suffer.

Zheng Chengye was selected to be the commentator in an aquarium, and as soon as he arrived there, the curator personally took him around the marine park.

Bai Yulin should be the happiest. As soon as he arrived at the restaurant, he and his daughter enjoyed a Michelin-starred meal arranged by the head chef himself.

[However, compared to the content of the other teams, I still like to watch Lin Cheng and Lin Momo’s side.]

[Yes, watching this group’s livestream is very satisfying. ] 

[Haha, not only is it satisfying, but it’s also awesome! ]

[Agree.]

… …

In the control room of the program group, people were looking at the comments from the audience in the barrage area. The chief director touched his chin.

“How much?” the chief director asked. 

“78% and 39%.” the staff member replied. 

The number of stable viewers referred to the number of people who did not jump out frequently after entering the livestream channel but stayed in the livestream channel to watch. The number of active viewers referred to the number of viewers who watched steadily and occasionally participated in livestream interactions and discussions. 

Although the popularity of Lin Cheng team’s livestream was still the lowest among the five teams, their team’s statistics for these two categories were much higher than the other four teams. This showed that the data of Lin Cheng’s team was more real than the traffic deliberately generated by the fans of other teams.

“Look at the current livestream data of Lin Cheng’s team,” the chief director instructed the staff on the side.

When the staff heard this, the data from Lin Cheng’s livestream channel quickly appeared on screen.

“The number of viewers in the livestream channel is 210,387, and the number of stable viewers and active viewers are…” Seeing the data on the screen, the staff was stunned for a moment. “It’s so high…!” he blurted out.

“It’s indeed very high.” The assistant director sitting on the other side couldn’t help but sigh and whispered, “The audience likes to watch this kind of thing now?” 

“That may not be entirely incorrect,” the chief director said and paused. Then he said, “It should be said that this method is more suitable for the livestream channel.”

The livestream lasted a long time, and the audience watching the program in the livestream channel did not seem to care whether a certain section of the program was exciting or had a highlight scene. In comparison, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo’s serious slice-of-life lifestyle seemed to make the audience feel more relaxed, comfortable and happy.

“We might consider pushing the livestream aspect a little further,” the chief director said softly to himself, pondering things in his mind.
