“Wow, wifey is making crab pierogis and shrimp dumplings today. Another day to make our mouths water.”
“Poor Aaron is in for another demanding day. Before Jojo practices yoga, she has prepared plain congee.”
“I feel sorry for the other three guests in Jojo’s group.”
“I really want to interview them and find out how they feel witnessing Zachy’s group happily savoring their meal every day.”
“From the looks of it, they’re smiling, but tears are welling up inside.”
The viewers playfully chatted in the live stream, leaving the fans of the other group feeling quite upset. They couldn’t help but sympathize with their ‘husbands’ and idols.
Simultaneously, there was growing dissatisfaction with Rosie. Didn’t she claim to have learned cooking specifically to join the variety show? Is that all she has to offer?
After Rebecca finished preparing crab pierogis and shrimp dumplings, Rosie went to the kitchen to make breakfast. In addition to the congee, she also fried two eggs for each person.
So, both groups had breakfast at the same time.
Zac’s trio enjoyed another satisfying meal, devouring plates of crab pierogis and shrimp dumplings, leaving them feeling completely satisfied.
The other group, however, had a plain breakfast of congee and fried eggs.
Rosie smiled at Aaron and said, “Aaron, I specially made congee for you. Have as much as you like.”
Upon hearing this, Aaron felt like crying. Can I tell her that I don’t want any more congee? He had eaten congee all day yesterday and now felt nauseous at the sight of it.
What he craved were crab pierogis and shrimp dumplings. Rebecca used to make them at home, and they were even tastier than the ones from a restaurant. Just thinking about the taste made his mouth water.
However, Rosie had made congee specifically for him, so he couldn’t let her kindness go to waste. He could only nod and say, “Alright, I’ll have another bowl later.”
He quickly finished a bowl of plain congee and filled another, drinking it as if it were a chore.
Afraid that Rosie would offer him another bowl, he hastily wiped his mouth. “I’m full.”
When Rosie noticed that he had quickly finished two bowls, she thought he liked the congee she had prepared. Thinking she was being considerate, she said, “If you like congee, I can make it for you again tomorrow.”
His face stiffened, and he smiled awkwardly. “You don’t have to accommodate me. Let’s see what Mr. Foster and Miss Morse want to eat tomorrow, and you can make that. My stomach is much better now.” He really couldn’t drink any more congee.
Of course, Leon could tell Aaron’s discomfort, and he felt sorry for him. He then said, “How about we have pierogis or breakfast burritos tomorrow?” I miss Rebecca’s pierogis and burritos.
Meanwhile, Leyla remained silent, knowing that her opinion didn’t matter.
Hearing Leon’s suggestion, Rosie didn’t think much of it. She believed that the congee she cooked was pretty good. As a considerate princess, she naturally wanted to cater to the group’s preferences. So, she nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll make breakfast burritos for all of you tomorrow.” That’s simpler than pierogis.
Finally, Aaron breathed a sigh of relief. “Breakfast burritos sound great. Just thinking about them makes me hungry.”
‘Hahaha, Aaron has it tough.’
‘I feel sorry for Aaron; his sister really doesn’t understand him. Even I can tell he doesn’t want congee anymore.’
‘That means he still needs to work on his acting skills.’
‘Jojo: Come on, Aaron, have some congee. Aaron: Well, thank you…’
‘I suddenly feel sorry for Aaron. Having a sister like this must be tough.’
As Aaron’s fans watched the livestream, they couldn’t help but feel sorry for their idol and ‘husband.’
Rebecca and her group didn’t go to the farmers’ homes to find work that day. Instead, they stayed in the yard, with Rebecca fixing electrical appliances and tutoring the children in the village, while Zac and the other two continued teaching their classes.
During lunchtime, each family of the children who came to learn prepared a dish for them, as discussed.
As a result, Rebecca’s group had a table full of food for lunch without having to go out.
Zac took a picture of the dishes and shared it in the group chat.
Zac: We have a table full of food without going out. I’m afraid we won’t be able to finish it all.
On the other hand, Aaron and the others heard the notification sound on their phones and absentmindedly opened the group chat.
Instantly, the four of them were speechless.
Aaron nearly swore out loud. “I shouldn’t have clicked on it.”
As Leyla looked at the picture of the abundant dishes on the table and then back at the bowl of noodles in front of her, she suddenly regretted her decision to choose this group.
That day, they found a job helping with rice harvesting. Rosie and Leyla didn’t go to the fields to harvest paddy but instead bundled the paddy harvested by others and loaded it onto hand carts.
However, they couldn’t last even an hour and began to feel their backs and hands aching. Their work became slower and slower.
Leon and Aaron helped with rice harvesting in the field and only managed to persist for a little over an hour.
Naturally, the host was not satisfied with their work, and the lunch provided was just a bowl of chicken noodle soup.
Just then, Leyla suggested, “Should we go teach the village children singing and dancing too?”
Yet, Rosie vetoed the idea immediately. “I don’t think we should. Otherwise, the other group might think we want to steal their students.” It was Rebecca’s idea to teach the village children. I don’t want to do the same thing as her.
Her reason left Leyla speechless. “But we’re really not good at this job today. The host said that if we continue like this in the afternoon, they won’t pay us.”
This host didn’t mind making them look bad at all.
Rosie also found it quite frustrating. Haven’t we already done enough? The host today is too demanding.
After some thought, she suggested, “Why don’t we go to town to make some money?” Rebecca and her group have been learning shadow puppetry these past few days. It’s much more interesting than just doing manual labor. If we want to stand out in the livestream, we need to figure out a way.
Leon asked, “But how? Do we look for jobs?” He really didn’t want to harvest rice anymore. Since he had never done such labor before, he was experiencing soreness in his back and pain in his hands.
To make things worse, the sun was scorching in the afternoon. Being out in the fields under its intense rays left their faces several shades darker and even caused sunburn.
She suggested, “We can perform. I can play the guitar, Aaron can dance, and both you and Miss Morse can sing.” She had learned to play the guitar with Luca before.
This morning, she discreetly asked one of the production staff behind the live stream camera. The person said that her yoga practice wasn’t generating as much interest as Rebecca’s martial arts practice, and there was a significant difference.
This upset her; she couldn’t understand why her graceful yoga practice couldn’t compete with Rebecca’s rough martial arts practice. What were the viewers thinking? So, she came up with an idea to showcase her versatility to her audience.
When she suggested the plan, the other three didn’t object. After all, they were all tired of manual labor and didn’t find rice harvesting or paddy bundling appealing. Performing would likely be more enjoyable.
Thus, they discussed the idea with Jonah. He not only didn’t oppose it but also provided them with a car to take them to town. Their livestream does need some changes to make it more interesting.
While they were heading to town, Rebecca’s group visited the home of the old man who made shadow puppets. The old man had already prepared the puppets needed for their performance and now needed to rehearse with them.
He began by saying, “I’ll teach you how to manipulate the shadow puppets, and then you can provide the voices for the characters you’re holding. But there’s still an issue that needs to be resolved; otherwise, the performance will have a flaw.”
Eric asked, “What’s the issue?”
The old man explained, “The music. When we performed shadow puppetry in the past, my son was responsible for the music. Sigh. Unfortunately, he’s no longer with us, and my grandson isn’t skilled at playing those instruments. So, we may need your production team to find someone who can play the instruments.”
