Chapter 41

When Phoebe finished making the crab roe buns and shrimp dumplings, Sienna also went into the kitchen to make breakfast. Other than the porridge, she fried two eggs for everyone. So the two groups had breakfast around the same time; two ate to their hearts' content. Maddox and the other two ate to their hearts' content. The crab roe buns and shrimp dumplings were all devoured, but the three of them still wanted more. In the other group, everyone was reluctantly eating porridge and fried eggs.

Sienna smiled at Jamar and said, “Jamar, I made the porridge specially for you. Drink more.”

Jamar wanted to cry. Could he say that he did not want to eat porridge at all? He had eaten porridge for the entire day yesterday. Now, he wanted to vomit at the sight of it. He wanted to eat crab roe buns and shrimp dumplings! Phoebe had made them at home before, and they were even better than the restaurants'. Now that he thought about it, he couldn’t help but reminisce about the taste. However, Sienna had specially made porridge for him. He could not let her down.

He could only nod. “Alright, I’ll have an extra bowl of porridge later.” He quickly finished the bowl of porridge and scooped another. He finished it quickly, as if it was a chore. Afraid that Sienna would ask him for another bowl, he hurriedly wiped his mouth. “I’m done eating!”

Sienna saw that he had finished two bowls of porridge in a row and thought that Jamar liked the porridge she made. Hence, she thought that she was being attentive and said, “Jamar, if you like porridge, I’ll cook it for you tomorrow.” Jamar’s originally smiling face instantly stiffened. He smiled sheepishly. “You don’t have to accommodate me.” Then, he said, “Let’s see what Reece and Erika want to eat tomorrow. You can cook whatever they want.”

“My stomach is much better now.” He really could not drink the porridge anymore. How could Reece not see Jamar’s predicament? He couldn’t help but sympathize. He said, “Why don’t we have omelets tomorrow!”

I miss Phoebe’s buns and omelets. Erika did not say anything. She knew that her opinion was not important. When Senna and Reece said that, she did not think too much about it. She thought that the porridge she made was quite good. As a considerate young lady, she naturally had to satisfy the desires of her teammates. Hence, she nodded. “Alright, I’ll make omelets for you tomorrow.” That was easier than buns.

Chapter 41

Jamar heaved a huge sigh of relief. “The omelets are quite good; I want to eat them just by listening to them. Hahaha, Jamar has it tough.”

“Light a candle for Jamar. His sister really can’t read expressions. I can even tell that he doesn’t want to eat porridge at all?” Therefore, Jamar’s acting still needs improvement.

“Sienna, come, Jamar, have some porridge. Jamar, thank you so much.”

“I suddenly sympathize with Jamar. His stomach is under a lot of pressure with such a sister.”

Marrs’ fans could not help but feel sorry for their brothers and husbands when they saw the livestream.

Today, Phoebe and the others did not go out to the farmers to look for work. Instead, they stayed in the courtyard, and repaired electrical appliances and tutored the children in the village. Maddox and the other two continued teaching. In the afternoon, the families whose kids came to study had agreed that each family would make a dish and bring it over. So for lunch, Phoebe and the others had gathered a full meal without going out. Maddox sent the photos of the dishes to the group.

Maddox captioned the photo: “I didn’t even need to go out to harvest a table full of dishes. I’m really afraid that it will be a waste if I can’t finish it.” Jamar and the others heard the notification and opened the group chat. The four of them were speechless.

Jamar wanted to curse. “My hands are at fault. I shouldn’t have opened it.” Erika looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table in the photo and then at the bowl of noodles in front of her. She suddenly regretted choosing this group.

Today, they found a job to help harvest rice. She and Sienna did not go to the fields to cut the rice. They only tied up what others had harvested and carried them to the cart.

However, after less than an hour, they couldn’t take it anymore. Their waists and hands hurt, thus they became slower and slower. Reece and Jamar went down to the fields to help cut the rice. They only lasted a bit over an hour. The boss was very dissatisfied with the work they did, so when he said that lunch would be provided, he meant that everyone would have a bowl of clear soup noodles.

She suggested, “Should we teach the children in the village how to sing and dance too?” As soon as she said it, Senna denied it. There’s no need. Otherwise, the other group will think that we’re snatching their work. It was Phoebe who suggested teaching the children in the village. Siena did not want to pick up the leftovers.

Erika was speechless. “But we’re really not good at this job today.” The owner said that if this continues in the afternoon, he won’t give us any salary. This farmer did not give them any face at all. Sienna was also very speechless about this point. Couldn’t he just take it as it was? The farmer today was too serious. She thought for a moment. “Why don’t we go to town and make money?”

Chapter 41

Phoebe and the others had also gone to learn some puppet shows the past few days. It was more interesting than working like this. If they wanted to perform well in the livestream, they had to think of a solution.

Meere asked, “How do I earn! Find a job?” He did not want to harvest rice anymore. He had never done such work before. Now, his back and hands were aching. In the afternoon, the sun was still scorching. If he continued to be exposed to the sun in the fields like this, his face would definitely get more tan and even sunburned.

Sienna said, “We can perform. I can play the guitar. My brother will dance. Reece, you can sing with Erika.” She had learned how to play the guitar from her elder brother before. That morning, she secretly approached a staff member of the production team. They said that her yoga training was not well-received. It was far less popular than Phoebe’s boxing. She was so angry and even more indignant. How could her beautiful yoga be inferior to Phoebe Jenkins’s burly boxing! What kind of standards did the audience have! That was why she only thought of this suggestion now. The main reason was to let the audience see her multi-talented side.

Hearing Sienna’s suggestion, the other three did not object. They really did not want to do manual labor anymore. Moreover, there was nothing interesting about harvesting and tying up rice. It should be much better to perform. Hence, they told the director their thoughts. Not only did Sebastian not object, he even provided them with a car to send them to town. These four people’s livestreams indeed needed to be changed to be interesting.

On the way to the town, Phoebe and the others went to the puppeteer’s house. The old man had already completed the shadow puppets that needed to be performed. Now, they needed four people to rehearse.

He said, “I teach you how to maneuver the puppets. Then, you can dub the roles you’re playing.”

“But there’s still a problem to be solved. Otherwise, the show will be flawed.” James asked, “What problem?”

The old man said, “There’s a problem with the soundtrack.” “In the past, when we aired shadow films, my son specialized in music.” He sighed. “But he’s gone, and my grandson isn’t any good with those instruments.” Therefore, we might need your production team to hire someone to compose the music.

Sebastian was sitting in a corner of the house. He asked, “Old man, what instrument do you need for the soundtrack?” The old man led them to a separate room. He pointed to the instruments in one of the cabinets. Sebastian looked over with everyone and saw some traditional instruments. The old man said, “I can use the drums. I’m not good at the others.”

Chapter I

Sebastian said awkwardly, “Then we need someone who is proficient at these traditional instruments.” The jailumaine was the day after tomorrow. It was very likely that there was not enough time to invite several people who were good at such instruments from other places. Everyone looked at Phoebe. She knew how to do it.
