Cassandra said to Thomas and Amelia, “It is busy farming season now. The early-season rice has been ripe, and many villagers
should have be
to harvest rice. Let’s go and see if there is any need for help. We will just ask them for some ingredients then.” At this time, early
rice and wheat were ripe. If they were not harvested in time, the ears of rice and wheat might fall off naturally, which would cause
great losses to farmers.
“Okay!” Amelia replied happily. She believed whatever Cassandra said.
Amelia’s parents were once farmers, but they previously held the position of landlords. Their family owned abundant land in their
hometown.
When Amelia was a child, she often followed her parents in the fields.
Therefore, harvesting crops was not difficult for Amelia.
She even missed the feeling a little.
However, Thomas scratched his head awkwardly and said embarrassedly, “But I don’t know how to do it. Will I make trouble for
them?”
Thomas really wanted to help, but he didn’t know how to.
He didn’t know anything about harvesting crops.
Thomas couldn’t help but think he was the most useless one on the team.
As a man, he was ashamed to let girls do all the work.
Amelia said, “There should be other work for you to help. Don’t worry, I won’t let your idle!” Amelia looked so adorable as she
said so.
The three of them walked along the village road and watched the scenery here.
Along the way, Amelia exclaimed that the countryside was wonderful with fresh air and no pollution. She wondered if they could
see stars at night,
Thomas echoed Amelia’s words, expressing that while he had seen a lot of scenery, he had seldom encountered such natural
splendor and vibrant living scenes.
It was like a paradise.
After a while, they saw two families harvesting early-season rice.
Cassandra and Amelia stepped forward and asked, “Sir, do you need any help? We can help you without payment. Just give us
some vegetables when we finish the work.”

Amelia explained to them gently that they were shooting a show. It was their task to help farmers, but they really wanted to help.
When the work was done, if they had any vegetables at home, they could just give Amelia some.
The farmers understood because the village head had informed them early in the morning that there was a well-known TV
station recording a variety show here. It should be these people.
However, the farmer was still a little hesitant. The rice was the food of his family. It would be sold to make money for his family.
If these people were unable to complete the work properly, it would impact their earnings.
Cassandra continued, “Sir, I grew up in the countryside. I’m familiar with crops. You can see how I do it first.”
In order to dispel the doubts in the heart of the farmer, Cassandra took off her shoes and socks with a sickle, rolled up her
trouser legs, and went down to the field.
She picked up an ear of rice and skillfully used a sickle to harvest it. Her movement was smooth and precise.
“I can do it, tool, Amelia said.
Amelia, knowing she had to work in the afternoon, opted for capri pants. This way, she could easily roll up her trouser legs and
head out to the field.
Then Amelia harvested the rice skillfully.
Seeing this, the farmer was relieved and said kindly, “You’re great. I’ll appreciate your help.”
Thomas was still standing alone on the edge of the field, feeling embarrassed. He didn’t know what to do.
He wanted to help, but it was rice. He couldn’t waste food.
However, Thomas felt sorry for standing there and doing nothing.
“Sir, please give him a job. He doesn’t know how to harvest rice and is afraid of ruining the crops. See if there is any manual
work suitable for him.” Amelia saw Thomas” embarrassment, so she immediately asked the farmer.
“My wife is picking peppers in another field. If you don’t mind, go there to help,” said
the farmer.
The farmer had a very good impression of the three of them. They were approachable

and eager to assist the farmer. The task of picking peppers did not demand specific skills, making it accessible to anyone.
[Wow, Thomas is so sensible!]
[Yeah! He really doesn’t want to make trouble for the farmers!]
[This team is so harmonious. They are so polite to the farmer. I love watching them!]
[Stop it! I came in from another channel. It’s disgusting!]
[I didn’t anticipate Frederick to display such a lack of common sense. Despite Thomas holding a higher status, he knows more
about life.]
[Can’t you stop praising Thomas while disparaging Freddy? Freddy didn’t do anything to hurt others, but he just stepped on a
few seedlings. Is that a big deal?]
[I went to watch another channel out of curiosity. I couldn’t stand it!]
At the same time, Frederick and his teammates were helping pick cucumbers in the field.
They insisted on doing it. The hostess saw that they didn’t seem to be good at working, so she didn’t want them to help at first.
However, they began to pick cucumbers by themselves.
They were even eating while picking, and the majority of the cucumbers they had gathered were not fully picked, leaving a stem
on them.
Such cucumbers couldn’t be sold out or stored long.
However, the village head said the villagers had to cooperate with the production team to film the show.
The hostess was helpless.
Frederick and Yulissa even crushed the roots of several cucumbers, on which there were cucumber flowers and newly grown
cucumbers.
In the end, the
hostess couldn’t stand it a
it anymore.
“Distinguished guests, you don’t have to pick them anymore. It’s enough for today. I’ll go back and get some vegetables for you!”
the hostess said.
If they continued to pick cucumbers, the cucumbers would rot in the field.
In the evening, Cassandra’s team finished their work. Thomas also came back from
Chapter 124
picking peppers.
The farmer and his family were overjoyed.
Then the farmer caught two fish and took some fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as homemade pickles for Cassandra’s team.
Cassandra, Amelia, and Thomas returned to their residence happily.
When they got back, Frederick and his team had already started having dinner.
The dishes were quite rich.
There were washed cucumbers and steamed sweet potatoes.
The dishes were indeed light.
Seeing the fish in Thomas’ hand, Frederick was instantly unhappy.
“Why do you have fish? I thought we weren’t allowed to buy anything!” Frederick shouted.
He subconsciously thought that they bought the fish with money. How could there be such good fish in this countryside?
“Mr. Yates, don’t talk nonsense if you don’t know the truth. Why do you think we bought the fish? We got it by working,
Cassandra said. She felt quite happy when she saw Frederick’s angry face.
Cassandra didn’t mind making him angrier.
She continued, “Our work has been recognized by the farmer. So he gave us a lot of vegetables and two fish. We really didn’t
know how to refuse him.” Cassandra then said to her teammates, “Let’s cook both fish tonight. One for Boiled Fish with
Cocoyam and the other for Fish in Sour Soup.”
Hearing this, Jenny swallowed unconsciously.
She wanted to eat fish, too. Fish was her favorite.
However, Jenny couldn’t have fish now.
She could only have cucumbers and sweet potatoes.
This was terrible!
Jenny complained in her heart, ‘What a shi tty show! What stu pid teammates!”
Frederick said, “Cassandra, we are all one. You don’t have to treat us like this. You have

so many ingredients...”
Frederick also wanted to have a better dinner.
He barely ate anything at lunch, and the meager dinner left him feeling as though his gastrosis was about to relapse.
