On this side, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo had no idea what was happening on the Internet.

After their first sale, everyone gained confidence.

In the store, everyone had their own division of labor: Lin Momo was sitting at the cashier counter in charge of sales; Lin Cheng was responsible for bagging the prepared takeout ingredients and adding different flavors of seasoning to the soya dregs crisps; Yang Fang was cleaning the store; and Hu Mao continued to prepare other ingredients to be sold in the processing room at the back.

After the first wave of customers, the store soon saw the second, third, and… many more waves of customers.

As the sun gradually rose, more and more customers came to their store.

Among them were residents who lived nearby and happened to pass by, old customers whom Hu Mao and his wife had met when they were selling tofu outside the vegetable market, people who passed by and saw that the store was doing good business and that the items were affordable and so came to join in the fun, and there were also some fans who watched the livestream and came over to show their support.

These people have formed a queue inside and outside the store.

Fortunately, Lin Cheng had anticipated this and had designed the sales counter into a long strip. When there were many customers, several attendants along the counter could sell at the same time. In addition, most of the goods in the store were pre-prepared and some could be already bagged in advance. The sales process was very fast and customers in the queue did not need to wait too long to buy the items they wanted.

The four of them were busy throughout the morning, but they were organized.

It was not until near noon that there were finally fewer customers in the store.

At this time, two of Hu Mao and Yang Fang’s cousins from their hometown who had been temporarily invited to help arrived at the store.

Seeing that there were now enough staff in the store and that Hu Mao and his wife had gradually gotten the hang of it and were now selling their products skillfully, Lin Cheng simply said ‘goodbye’ to them and left the soya shop with Lin Momo.

Lin Cheng and Lin Momo returned to their temporary residence.

At this time, people from the program crew had also arrived.

This time, the director brought the crew and equipment directly to Lin Cheng’s and Lin Momo’s residence.

When they saw the appearance of Lin Cheng’s shanty house, many of them couldn’t help but show surprise on their faces.

Before the recording of this episode began—in order to ensure the safety of Lin Cheng and his daughter but still maintain the authenticity of the recording—the program specially arranged for the director’s team and the logistics team to come in ahead of time for some preliminary shooting as well as reinforce the safety of the shed.

Naturally, they had all seen what this shed looked like before—it couldn’t be said to be completely uninhabitable, but it was definitely not something that most people would be willing to live in.

But at this moment, this shed was completely different from what they had seen before.

“I almost thought I had come to the wrong place,” the director said to Lin Cheng and Lin Momo with a smile.

If she hadn’t been staring at the livestream for the entire week, watching the shed change little by little thanks to the efforts of Lin Cheng and Lin Momo, she wouldn’t have believed that this home was the same shed they had found before.

But what they saw through the livestream did not have such a surprising impact as what they saw in person.

At this time, all the leaks in the shed have been fixed and even a layer of waterproofing has been made on the outside. The walls built with old cabinets have been smoothed out. Except for some cabinet partitions specially reserved for storage space, most other places were now covered with colorful wallpaper with beige as the main color.

The broken glass above the door frame had been replaced with a whole piece of glass; the rusted hardware accessories had been replaced with new ones, and were even carefully brushed with anti-rust paint; the open window was carefully covered with a shaded-but-still-light-transmitting sticker panel, and two small curtains were hung over it.

This shed was originally just a structure built from an old wooden doors and had no a real window frame, just some open portions in the wall with the sense of a ‘window’. Now, under the ‘window’ hung a row of small baskets made of plastic bottles strung with braided ropes filled with wild flowers and weeds dug from outside.

The ground, which originally were full of cracks, weeds, and moss, had been carefully swept several times. Although it still looked a little mottled, it could be seen at a glance that it was very clean.

There were a few simple small pieces of furniture in the room: a small coffee table, a small sideboard, three chairs whose legs had been specially sawed off to keep them at a height that could be used with the coffee table, and several shelves of different heights and colors…

These had been picked up by Lin Cheng and Lin Momo nearby or bought cheaply at scrap yards and flea markets, and the rusty or uneven parts have been carefully polished by Lin Cheng. The table was covered with a tablecloth and on top were some small wild flowers in a plastic bottle of the same style as the one hanging by the ‘window’. There were some simple daily necessities, kitchen supplies, and hygiene and cleaning products on the shelves.

There was an metal wire running near the ceiling in the middle of the room with washed clothes hanging on one side and a curtain on the other side to distinguish the ‘living room’ from the ‘bedroom’.

Behind the curtain was the bed. The bed frame had been covered with wallpaper and the bed itself had sheets, quilts, and pillows of various styles. At the head of the bed were several drawings drawn by Lin Momo, and there were also two plush toys that Lin Cheng and Lin Momo received for free at an event on the pedestrian street.

Although such a house was small, poorly equipped, with everything pieced together and not even any electrical appliances, it nevertheless gave people a very cozy and warm feeling. Every detail showed the serious attitude towards life of the father and daughter who lived in it.

Seeing this room like this gave the director and crew a strange feeling—more touching than shocking.

“This room is so beautiful,” the director said to Lin Momo sincerely.

When Lin Momo heard the other party praising her beautiful house, a big smile immediately appeared on her face.

“My dad and I decorated this together, and Uncle Hu and Uncle Xiao Huang also helped,” Lin Momo happily explained.

After showing off, Lin Momo didn’t forget to say ‘thank you’ to the director.

Hearing this, the director couldn’t help but laugh.

“It looks like Momo and Daddy had a good week.”

“Yeah,” Lin Momo nodded and began to tell the director and the rest of the crew in vivid details what she and Lin Cheng had done this week: “The soybean dregs cakes and soybean dregs chips we made are super delicious. Many people lined up to buy them. We also opened a tofu shop with Uncle Hu’s family…”

Lin Momo couldn’t stop talking about what she had done this week.

Lin Momo said a lot. Although they were already half a day late compared to the other four family teams who had already finished filming, this time the director did not rush her and listened patiently to everything Lin Momo said.

“Well, we made 784 yuan this week, but we used it all to open the store, and also to buy desk lamps for Jiajia and Xiaobao…” After saying that, Lin Momo trailed off and looked at the director with a guilty conscience.

The director smiled and shook her head, saying, “It’s okay. According to the regulations, you don’t have any money-making tasks this week, so you were free to spend the money you earned as you wish.”

“Really? Oh, that’s good!” Hearing the director’s words, Lin Momo breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of something, she asked again, “So, have we completed our mission for this week?”

The director nodded and said affirmatively, “It’s done. Congratulations to Daddy Lin and Momo.”

After the director finished speaking, Lin Momo saw two staff members carrying out the lottery box that she was now very familiar with.

“I don’t need to introduce what the next step is, right?” said the director.

“Draw lots!” Lin Momo replied.

“That’s right, then please, Dad and Baby, draw your [Family Background] for next week. This would be our last episode.”

“Okay,” Lin Momo responded. She looked up at Lin Cheng, and when she saw Lin Cheng nod she walked towards the lottery box.

… …

Watching Lin Momo walk towards the lottery box step by step, almost all the audience watching the livestream channel subconsciously held their breaths.

[It’s time to draw. It’s time to draw.]

[So nervous…]

[Watching Lin Cheng and Momo draw lots is so nerve-wracking.]

[Please bless this father and daughter to have good luck for once!]

[Will Momo feel better if she lights incense first?]

[Momo is the one who will draw, she should be better than Lin Cheng. ]

[No, past experience has shown that unlucky hands are also hereditary. ]

[No.]

[It can’t be worse than this week’s unemployed homeless person, right?]

[I can’t think of anything worse.]

[It’s hard to say…]
