Flattery won’t work

Liu Yusheng had never eaten roasted voles in her previous life.

The first time she tasted it, it tasted pretty good.

After roasting it out, it looked small and golden, and mouth-watering.

"How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I? This tastes much better than pancakes." Chen Changdong said smugly, his mouth greasy from gnawing.

"I think it's because you're tired of eating pancakes, so you found an excuse to come out for a special treat," Liu Zhixia teased.

Breakfast in ordinary farmhouses was very simple. It was mostly a few pancakes and a bowl of vegetable porridge.

Those in better conditions could eat steamed buns.

"You don't know, this kid can't have a peaceful day as long as he's home. He can't confine himself inside and runs outside once the sun is up," a teenager named Haizi disclosed.

Dong grabbed a sweet potato and threw it at him. "Save me some face in front of my cousins!"

The topic naturally turned to Liu Zhixia and Liu Yusheng. Compared with Liu Zhixia, the teenagers were obviously more interested in Liu Yusheng.

"Nannan, did you really brew the fruit wine in Xinghua Village Winery before?"

"It's all the rage out there that you're a young miracle doctor, more powerful than the town's doctor! How did you learn at such a young age?"

"I've never seen you before, so when I heard how extraordinary you are out there, I almost thought Dong's cousin had three heads and six arms …"

Liu Yusheng chortled. "Three heads and six arms, won't that make me a monster? You shouldn't believe the rumors. I'm not that godly. I accidentally brewed fruit wine in the past. As for my medical skills, the rumors spread out like that I guess because my consultation fee is cheaper?"

The teenagers froze, then hooted with laughter.

Their nervousness when they plucked up their courage to strike up a conversation dissolved into nothingness in the laughter.

Making fruit wine, opening a winery, plus medical skills – she was the village treasure of Xinghua Village. The halo of this blessed child lifted her to a height they couldn't reach, as if they were living in two different worlds.

They thought the child would look down on them, and disdain talking to them, just like those wealthy families who rode their high horses before them.

It was only when they really interacted with her that they found that she was completely different.

There wasn't a single shelf on the girl. She would quietly watch them catch voles, could sit on the ground and chew sweet potatoes like them, and even joke around with them when they made a fool of themselves.

She wasn't squeamish or pretentious.

She was easy-going like a little sister next door who lived around them.

"I told you that my little cousin is different from ordinary girls. Taking her to play will definitely not spoil the fun. Now, you believe me?" Chen Changdong sounded pretty cocky.

"Yes, yes, yes, we were mistaken." The teenagers laughed bashfully and admitted their faults without any hesitation, and also pushed Haizi forward without a trace.
