Chapter 159: Chapter 159: They All Listen to You?

Yu Nuannuan crawled over to the spot by the wall, lifted the blanket a little, and slipped her small hand underneath.

Watching Yu Nuannuan’s movements, Xu Shuhua was suddenly struck by a sense of déjà vu.

A few months ago, she seemed to have seen this exact scene.

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Yu Nuannuan sit up straight, holding a paper bag in her two small, fair hands.

That paper bag looked very familiar too—wasn’t it the same kind they used to pack fruit when they were selling it before?

Yu Nuannuan’s little hands were much more nimble than before. She turned the bag upside down and dumped everything inside onto the bed.

There weren’t too many things, but you could also say there were a lot—it was a pile of seeds of various sizes.

But even just this small pile of seeds made Xu Shuhua’s heart skip a beat.

“Nuannuan!”

Xu Shuhua called out to Yu Nuannuan, but it was already too late.

She watched as Yu Nuannuan placed both hands on top of the seeds. Almost the instant her hands touched them, green shoots began to sprout from between her fingers.

But Xu Shuhua quickly noticed something: these shoots weren’t growing wildly.

After sprouting two or three leaves, they stopped growing, and Yu Nuannuan lifted her hands.

Once a plant had grown two or three leaves, you could generally tell what kind it was.

Yu Nuannuan stared at the little seedlings, then pinched one between her two fair fingers.

In her hand, the seedling slowly grew taller, larger, bloomed, bore fruit, and ripened.

It was a strawberry plant.

A dozen or so bright red strawberries hung down, giving off a sweet, tempting aroma.

Xu Shuhua swallowed hard.

It wasn’t because she was craving them—she was scared.

Yu Zhenmin had never known about Yu Nuannuan’s abilities, and now that he’d seen it, who knew how he’d react.

As Xu Shuhua was thinking this, she carefully turned to look at Yu Zhenmin.

She saw Yu Zhenmin staring at Yu Nuannuan in shock, his eyes wide and unmoving.

Yu Nuannuan looked at the strawberries in her hand, nodded in satisfaction, and called out to Xu Shuhua and Yu Zhenmin, “Grandpa, Grandma, eat!”

When she saw the two of them not moving, Yu Nuannuan didn’t mind.

She set the strawberries aside and picked up another seedling.

In her hand, the seedling slowly grew—it was a ground cherry.

Ground cherries weren’t as small as strawberries, and after a short while, Yu Nuannuan couldn’t hold it anymore. She simply set it on the bed and let it keep growing.

Once the whole ground cherry plant had ripened, Yu Nuannuan picked up another seedling.

Nightshade, cherry tomatoes, chili peppers, eggplants, chives—one after another, they appeared, quickly piling up and covering the whole bed.

Looking at the last seedling, Yu Nuannuan hesitated, unsure if she should let it grow.

If she wasn’t mistaken, this one should be a fig.

But fig trees could get pretty big, and it would be hard to hide the evidence later.

While Yu Nuannuan was still hesitating, a large hand reached out and snatched the fig seedling away.

Yu Nuannuan looked up and saw Xu Shuhua’s face full of relief.

Xu Shuhua was truly relieved!

Thank goodness she hadn’t kept spacing out—if that fig tree had grown up, things would have really gotten out of hand today!

Xu Shuhua tossed the fig seedling onto the table, then scooped Yu Nuannuan into her arms.

“Nuannuan!”

Xu Shuhua took a moment to find the right words. “These fruits… they all listen to you?”

Yu Nuannuan nodded. “Yes!”

This was something she’d only discovered after her first birthday."
