Serve as Contrast Team in a ‘Dad with Baby’ Show

Chapter 16,Part 3: — Daddy Dearest??

Lin Cheng and Lin Momo returned to their temporary home.

The old and dilapidated house looked even more uninhabitable after the torrential rain last night.

Lin Cheng frowned and was about to discuss with the program team about changing houses for them, when Lin Momo walked into the room stepping on the wet stagnant water.

Lin Momo walked into the house and checked carefully: the situation in their ‘home’ was a little worse than she expected, but it was still acceptable.

“Fortunately, there are no valuable small appliances at home,” Lin Momo muttered.

Not hearing Lin Cheng’s voice, Lin Momo turned around and saw that the other party was still standing outside the door with a slightly gloomy expression.

Lin Momo didn’t know that Lin Cheng was actually thinking about whether it was reasonable for the program team to let them live in the house without making sure it was safe and livable. Seeing Lin Cheng’s unhappy expression, she thought it was because he saw her feeling bad that their home was flooded.

“Just tidy up,” Lin Momo said to Lin Cheng, with a hint of comfort in her tone.

After that, Lin Momo ran to the window, pointed to the window glass and said to Lin Cheng, “Look, the outside of the window was washed clean by the rain!”

Lin Cheng had fixed the dangerous window on the window frame before, but Lin Momo could only wipe the inside part when she cleaned it. The glass outside still looked dirty.

Rain washed away the dust on the glass outside, but it brightened the house a lot.

At least it proved that what the rain brought yesterday was not entirely a bad thing.

Seeing Lin Momo trying to prove that the family can still live here, Lin Cheng’s mind loosened a bit.

“And the wall is actually a little cleaner than before,” Lin Momo pointed to the wall this time.

Lin Cheng’s eyes moved slightly, and finally, he let go, and said, “Okay, let’s clean it up.”

“Okay!”

There was a serious water leak in the house last night. Although Lin Momo had tried her best to save it, their bed quilts still suffered its inevitable fate: half soaked.

Lin Momo made to go over to tidy up the quilt and sheets, but was stopped by Lin Cheng.

“Go and sit over there, I’ll take care of it,” Lin Cheng said to Lin Momo.

Hearing this, Lin Momo retorted, “I can move it.”

Lin Cheng glanced at Lin Momo’s slender arms and legs, and didn’t comment on whether she could hold the quilt that absorbed a lot of rainwater. But it was true that the quilt was full of water, and if one didn’t pay attention, the water would wet one’s body when carrying it.

“Do you still want to take another shot of antipyretics?” Looking at the stubborn girl, Lin Cheng asked.

This sentence worked. Sure enough, when she heard the word ‘antipyretic’, Lin Momo’s entire expression changed.

When she came out of the hospital before, Lin Cheng lied to her that antipyretics were not expensive, but just now Lin Momo secretly counted the money in her pocket, and it was 128 yuan short!

Being admitted to the hospital once already put their family into a financial crisis. If they had to go to the hospital again, their financial situation would definitely not be able to bear it.

“I don’t want to,” Lin Momo shook her head.

“Then stand aside,” Lin Cheng said.

This time, Lin Momo stood aside cooperatively.

Lin Cheng took the quilt outside and wrung out the excess water.

Lin Momo on the side wanted to help, but was stopped by a look from Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng took the quilt to the yard downstairs to dry, and Lin Momo followed.

Seeing Lin Momo following him step by step, Lin Cheng raised his eyebrows, “What are you doing here?”

“That—” Lin Momo hesitated, pointed to the quilt that Lin Cheng hung on the rope, and reminded in a low voice, “Removing the quilt cover will make it dry faster.”

Lin Cheng: “...”

After working for a long time, this kid followed him, not because of curiosity, but because she was worried that he would not do things well, so she came to guide him on the spot?

But thinking about it, it seemed that what she said was indeed true.

Hiding the embarrassment in his eyes, Lin Cheng calmly took off the quilt from the clothes line, removed the outer quilt cover, and hung it up again to air out.

Seeing that Lin Cheng had been ‘taught’ by him, Lin Momo nodded with deep satisfaction, and then retreated back into the building.

... ...

Lin Cheng dried the sheets and quilts, and when he returned to the house, he saw Lin Momo mopping the stagnant water on the floor with a mop outside.

For this ‘restless’ and ‘disobedient’ child, Lin Cheng had a headache.

“Didn’t I tell you not to do it?”

“It’s very simple.”

Lin Momo said, as if wanting to prove that it was really simple, she demonstrated it to Lin Cheng again.

The mop was already soaked and couldn’t absorb any more water, but Lin Momo didn’t wring the mop dry. Instead, she used the wet mop to drive away the accumulated water in the house, and then pushed it to the basin outside the house .

A lot of ground cement in old residential buildings has been eroded.

After Lin Momo pushed the stagnant water to the side of the basin, it soon flowed into the sewer along a small corroded gap on the edge of the basin.

Seeing Lin Momo’s familiar operation, the corners of Lin Cheng’s mouth twitched slightly: I really don’t know whether to say that the child is smart, or that she’s had too much life experience in these aspects.

T/N: I don’t really understand the construction of old houses and how Lin Momo was able to do what she did to the standing water. I just translated it as is. The word for ‘basin’ can also mean ‘pool’ or ‘pond’ or ‘sink’ and those sound even more inappropriate for this scene.
