While the audience was still discussing, Lin Cheng changed out of the film costume and back into his own clothes.

This was the last day of recording for this episode of [Living with Dad].

At this time, people from the directing team were waiting outside the filming crew.

Seeing Lin Cheng walking out with Lin Momo in hand, the director greeted the two of them warmly.

“We haven’t seen each other for another week. How did Dad and baby do this week?” the director asked with a smile on her face.

“Very good,” Lin Momo nodded.

“So, have Daddy and baby completed their mission this week?”

“It’s done.” Lin Momo nodded again. She took the initiative to step forward, handed the money to the director team, and also attached the account book she kept.

This week, excluding their food expenses, adding all the cash as well as payments made via mobile phone, and the 10% remuneration that they received from the [Against the Grain] crew after signing a contract and completing a segment of filming—Lin Momo and Lin Cheng saved 6,108 yuan this week.

A flash of surprise swept across the director’s face upon receiving the more than a thousand yuan handed over by Lin Momo.

Even though she had watched the entire livestream this week, she still felt a little incredible at this moment.

From the beginning, the [Family Background] of Lin Cheng and Lin Momo was not easy. Their income as extras was very unstable, and many times they were not entitled to the meals provided by the filming crew and had to spend their own money to eat.

The 1745 yuan target set by the crew at the beginning was actually quite difficult, but neither she nor the chief director could have imagined that Lin Cheng and Lin Momo would be able to play main roles in just one week.

For a moment, the director didn’t know whether she should say whether the father and daughter were lucky or really unlucky.

“Congratulations to Dad and baby for completing the mission,” the director said.

After a pause, the director asked Lin Momo, “Baby, do you think the action in the Film and Television City this week was interesting?”

“Very interesting,” Lin Momo nodded and answered.

The director asked again, “Compared with the work in the Film and Television City and the lives in the previous episodes, which one do you think is more interesting?”

“Opening a small restaurant!” Lin Momo answered without thinking, and then added, “I really like to open small restaurants.”

… …

Lin Momo’s answer made the audience in the livestream channel burst into laughter:

[Hahaha, I saw the seriousness in Momo’s eyes.]

[Momo: I really like to open a small restaurant (super serious).]

[Laughing, maybe in Momo’s eyes, being a restaurant owner has a better future than being a film and television star.]

[It’s over, it’s over, I suddenly feel that the roles the director previously chose for Momo… it’s with a keen eye for money.]

… …

The director couldn’t help but smile.

“But next week’s [Family Background] doesn’t seem to have any option like opening a small restaurant,” the director said after glancing at the note in her hand. She smiled at Lin Momo and said, “But there are a lot of them and they are all very interesting. Of the options available, which one you will get depends on the luck of daddy and baby.”

After the director finished speaking, a staff member came over holding a box that Lin Momo was familiar with.

“Next, daddy and baby, let’s draw lots.”

Lin Momo raised her head and glanced at Lin Cheng. When she saw Lin Cheng nod and say “Go ahead,” she visibly took a deep breath and walked towards the box.

The moment Lin Momo pulled out the [Family Background] card from the box, not only the director team and the audience in the livestream channel were excited, but even Lin Cheng felt a rare moment of nervousness.

Lin Momo pulled out an orange card.

She showed it and the family background information that was written on it.

[Dad’s occupation]: Owner/operator of Happy Bowl Farm.

[Home address]: Happy Bowl Farm integrated accommodation in Dafeng Village, suburb of Z city. 

(The farm covers an area of ​​570,000 square meters, including hotel accommodation area, breeding area, farmland planting area, animal park, and animal interactive entertainment area. It is a combination of tourism; leisure and entertainment; children’s activities; planting, breeding, and sales of fruits, vegetables, meat, and poultry. It is a modern integrated farm.)

[Family annual income]: about ±6 million.

[Transportation]: farm operation vehicles and privately owned SUV cars.

[Financial Status]: The farm’s minimum hard expenses for a year is 12 million yuan (including employees wages; water, electricity, gas and other utility expenses generated by farm operation; material procurement expenses, necessary investment in the operation of the farms, farmland, and gardens; and other expenses) .

[Liquidity]: Currently available funds are 1.5 million.

Different from the previous [Family Background] cards that Lin Cheng and Lin Momo drew, this time the card did not stipulate the money-making tasks that the two of them needed to complete next week.

At this time, the director explained: “This time, the owner of the farm promised to provide the program team with full right to manage it. Since the farm involves a large amount of funds, the task of Dad and baby this week is to keep the farm operating normally. “

… …

Looking at the [Family Background] this time, the barrage in the livestream channel was immediately flooded with [Spreading Flowers] [666]:

[Hot damn, they finally hit the jackpot (for once!)]

[Oh my god, so Lin Cheng and Momo have been directly upgraded to farmers this time?]

[The program team is so heroic!]

[The program team finally became human again! ]

[Haha, it should be said that daddy and baby finally got lucky once! ]

[Momo: Happiness comes too suddenly.]

[I think looking at Momo’s expression, she hasn’t realized it: she’s suddenly become a ‘rich second generation’. ]

[Wait! So, among the five family teams this time, Lin Cheng’s group got the best one? ]

[I just went for a walk in other live broadcast rooms, and it seems like this.]

Since the shooting time of Lin Cheng’s crew was slightly extended, Lin Cheng’s family team was the last to draw their [Family Background]. At this time, the other teams have already finished drawing lots.

Bai Yulin has drawn a job as a Violinist in a symphony orchestra; actor Gao Kai picked a Food Channel Editor; substitute father Duan Bei got a job as Teaching Assistant at a children’s interest organization; and Zheng Chengye will become a Financial Analyst.

Compared with other groups, Lin family’s conditions this time did seem to be the best.

… …

[It wasn’t easy to finally get the best job…] Everyone sighed with emotion.

However, there were also different voices:

[Am I the only one who noticed that there is a plus or minus sign in front of the income of 6 million? ]

[I also noticed it, does it mean that the farm may make money or lose money? ]

[In just one week, it’s impossible for Lin Cheng to lose money on the farm, right?]

[Hard to say…]

[I am more concerned that Lin Cheng is a singer. Are you sure he can handle the farm business?]

This question popped up, and the barrage area instantly became much quieter…
