"What miracle, quickly, don't keep us hanging!"

"Is, look at your appetite, just hang on!"

Now that he has stirred the appetite of his listeners, the person who spoke earlier continued mysteriously, "Some time ago, when the old man Liu fell from a mountain and was sent to the town medical center, the doctor said that he couldn't save his life and told his family to go home and prepare for his funeral. At that time, his wife was there weeping! The two Liu brothers kowtowed before the master of the medical center to save him, but the doctor said that old Liu's head injury was severe and that he couldn't do anything about it. Guess what happened next? Their baby granddaughter rushed into the scene, but nobody noticed her climbing into the ox cart, pop! Old Liu climbed back from the dead! Then there's Liu Er, who was one of the villagers who freed the water that night. The Dafu Family whacked him with his own hands, did you know that his injury was serious? Dafu was so scared that he didn't dare to stay at home for three days, afraid that they would seek revenge! What do you think happened this time? He just drank a cup of water poured by their baby granddaughter and the next day, he went to the field to work as if nothing had happened!…"

The miraculous tale left the villagers of Xiapo Village dumbfounded.

The village chief watched the festive harvest across the river and his face turned cold and gloomy.

Similar discussions were staged in many private houses in Xinghua Village.

The rumor about the blessed baby was like a whirlwind, which quickly swept through Xinghua Village and surrounding villages.

In the meantime, Liu Yusheng knew nothing about this.

She was thrilled whenever a load of golden rice harvested was brought home and piled up in the yard. Watching her family's overflowing smiles, she felt elated.

"This year's grain harvest reached nearly 10% more than in previous years! After paying the tax, the rest is enough for our family to eat for a year!" Grandpa Liu grabbed a handful of rice grains and let it slip through his fingers, grinning from ear to ear while looking at the small hills of grains.

"Dad, today is a happy day, shall we drink a jug of wine?" Liu Erlin licked his lips as he proposed.

Before Grandpa Liu could respond, Grandma Liu slapped both of them with a scolding, "What wine are you planning on drinking, don't you know how your father's body is? Unless you're completely back to health, don't ever think about drinking!"

Right, the queen mother has spoken, so discussion's over.

Liu Dalin was amused, "Don't even think about wine. After the harvest ends, we can take a break for a while. I remember there's a wild grape forest behind Xinghualing mountain. They should be ripe by now. Tomorrow, let's go and pick some and let the children have a sumptuous snack."

"Picking grapes! Dad, I'll go with you tomorrow too!" Liu Zhixia, who was squatting next to a valley and building a sand castle, stuck his head out with eyes bright.

Liu Zhiqiu was not to be outdone, sucking in his drool, he followed, "I want to go too!"

"These two little greedy devils!" Liu Er laughed and cursed beneath his breath, "All right, we will all go tomorrow! We'd better start off early or we won't pick anything if we arrive late."

"Go ahead, you all go, pick some more and let our Nannan have a taste of them. You haven't had wild grapes yet, right?" Hoisting Liu Yusheng up, Grandma Liu lovingly pinched her little nose.
