On Sunday, Grandpa Lin and Lin Momo did not go anywhere.

Early in the morning, the old and the young sat in front of the projected networkTV, watching the main program of [Living with Dad] with great interest.

The main program was still broadcast in a rotation of families, first Bai Yulin, then Gao Yukai, then Zheng Chengye, Lin Cheng was fourth, and trainee dad Duan Bei was the last.

Originally, after the program team vaguely learned about Lin Cheng’s real background and saw that Lin Cheng and Lin Momo’s team had a surge in popularity due to their livestreams, they proposed to adjust the broadcast order and let Lin Cheng and Lin Momo’s team to be shown first.

However, Lin Cheng felt that the broadcast order of the program was not important to them, so he rejected the proposal.

Thus, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo’s segment was still scheduled to be broadcast fourth.

Lin Momo and Grandpa Lin watched the content of the first three teams until it was finished, until finally came her and Lin Cheng’s part that they have been waiting for.

Unlike the faster progress of the livestream, the main program was still broadcasting content from the third week of recording.

… …

As Lin Cheng and Lin Momo appeared on the screen, the audience and fans began to discuss them in the comments section below the video.

[We’ll have to wait another week for the livestream to come online. And I can’t watch the previous one again. There is no choice but to watch the main show to relive it. ]

[+1, I also watched the livestream and I’m still watching the main show.]

[The first day without Momo. ]

[The first day I miss Momo.]

[I miss my daughter so much. It’s not bad to watch the main show. ]

[It’s a pity that the main show is not as exciting as the livestream, and you can’t watch it all day. ]

[Yes, it feels that the main show has cut a lot. There are many cute shots that were not included.]

[It’s a problem of length. ]

[There is really no way to solve the problem of length, but for me, I like every shot of Momo! ]

[This is why the livestream is still more exciting.]

[I think so too. I am just waiting to watch Momo and Lin Cheng’s livestream channel.]

…….

Lin Cheng and Lin Momo’s livestream channel has become popular. The number of viewers in the livestream channel has increased from a few in the beginning days to more than 300,000 this week.

Although the number of viewers was still not as many as Bai Yulin and Duan Bei’s team, their team’s cumulative online time of real viewers was the highest among the five families.

[I also like to watch Lin Cheng and Momo’s livestream. I am really addicted to it, haha.]

[I am different. I like to watch their livestream mainly because I am a fan.]

[It is really addictive and I’ve become a fan. Another thing is that watching Lin Cheng and Momo’s livestream feels really stable and it’s not easy for this team to overturn!]

[This comment above reveals the truth.]

As each week progressed, the other four teams had more or less experienced failures during the recording of the program.

This was especially true in the most recent week of livestream.

Who knew if it was to make the background of [Unemployed Vagrants] seem less miserable, but for the sixth episode, when the program team provided [Family Background] options for each family, they chose ones that were all very ‘down-to-earth’.

Bai Yulin drew a [Warehouse Manager]; all-around dad Gao Yukai drew a [Ticket Seller]; wealthy dad Zheng Chengye drew [Apprentice of Intangible Cultural Heritage Handicrafts], and Duan Bei drew [Grocery Store Owner] in front of a school.

Somehow, after the program started recording, several families had a lot of problems.

Especially the two teams of Bai Yulin and Duan Bei.

Bai Yulin made a mistake in recording data, causing considerable losses to the establishment.

Duan Bei was in chaos because he couldn’t handle the elementary school students in the store.

When it happened, these two teams’ failures even topped the hot search list.

… …

The fans of these two teams were naturally not happy and soon someone came out to refute matters:

[Great Linlin is not a professional, so a little mistake is inevitable. He is very serious in his work and has done a good job. It’s just these online trolls who keep finding fault with him. ]

[I think that Xiaobei’s busy appearance in the livestream is not only funny but also cute. He is like this because he cares about those elementary school students very much.]

… …

After refuting, some fans began to blame the program group:

[I suspect that the program group deliberately made up these [Family Backgrounds] to create topics.]

[The program group must have run out of funds, that’s why the options they came up with were so shabby.]

[I really don’t blame the stars for their failure, it is definitely the program group’s fault.]

[The program group is really inhuman.]

… …

In response to the doubts raised by the fans of the two teams, someone soon compared these two to Lin Cheng and Lin Momo’s team:

[If we talk about poor conditions, Lin Cheng’s team is the worst, right?]

[That’s right, Lin Cheng and his daughter didn’t even say anything when they drew [Unemployed Vagrants], yet some family’s fans still rushed out to protect their master.]

[I visited the livestream channels of all teams. Lin Cheng’s team really had super bad conditions. If it was a set up, how come they didn’t fail then?]

..….

This online argument lasted for two days.

Lin Momo did not have a Weibo account. Lin Cheng rarely checked Weibo except for signing in to their super topic. Therefore, when Lin Cheng and Lin Momo were caught in the crossfire of this fierce verbal battle—and by the way was brought quite innocently to a wave of hot searches —this father and daughter didn’t even know.

At this moment, Lin Momo was sitting quietly next to Grandpa Lin watching the show. Occasionally, if there was content that was not broadcast in the main show, Lin Momo would tell the other party, supplementing the show with her personal stories.

“Ah, it’s this small shop boss. He has a pair of twin children. After receiving the takeaway cards I made, their family came to our store for dinner every day,” Lin Momo explained to Grandpa Lin, pointing to the screen.

… …

At this time, the program was showing Lin Momo holding a homemade takeaway card and promoting their family’s food delivery service door to door.

[Seeing this scene, I felt like time had returned to the third week of recording. ]

[It feels like the livestream of the small restaurant wasn’t so long ago, how come it’s already the episode being aired now? I can’t bear to let it go.]

[One less episode to watch.]

[I wish they could keep recording it.] …

Everyone sighed.

… …

At this time, someone discovered another matter:

[By the way, have you noticed that compared to before, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo have changed a lot.]

[Indeed, looking back, it seems that the relationship between the father and daughter has gradually become closer in the later episodes. ]

[And both the father and the child have grown up a lot, especially the father. ]

[Haha, yes, it seems that Lin Cheng is becoming more and more like a qualified father in the later episodes. ]

[So the real name of this program is actually ‘Dad’s Metamorphosis’. ]

[No, it should be ‘Dad’s Long History’. ]

… …

Looking at the comments on the video, Grandpa Lin snorted and said to himself, “Those titles are not enough, it should be ‘Dad’s Job Record’.”
