The Humble Family’s Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!

Chapter 208: Chapter 190, Sunflower Seed_1

Seeing Yan Wenkai and the parrot start cursing each other with ‘fool, fool,’ everyone in the room couldn’t help but laugh.

The old lady also stared at the parrot with fascination, clucking in amazement, “This parrot speaks so fluently.”

At that moment, Wang Manman came in holding a plate.

“Eh, what’s on the plate? Why haven’t I seen it before?” Dong Yuanxuan and the others looked over, only to find that they didn’t recognize the contents of the plate.

Daohua took the plate and said with a smile, “These are sunflower seeds.”

The two sunflower plants she had gotten from Zhou Jingwan last year had been planted in her space, yielding quite a few sunflower seeds, and now she had planted many more on her estate.

At this point, the parrot had stopped squabbling with Yan Wenkai and was staring intently at the plate in Daohua’s hand without moving, with an expression of drooling desire.

Daohua teasingly waved the plate in front of the parrot. Wherever the plate went, its eyes followed, as if glued to the plate.

“Assessment complete, this is a foodie parrot!”

With that, Daohua put a small handful of sunflower seeds in front of the parrot.

The parrot flapped its wings twice, lowered its head, and started eating. In no time, it polished off the sunflower seeds and then said in a blissful tone, “Delicious, delicious!” and paused, “More, more!”

Its begging appearance instantly made the old lady burst into hearty laughter.

“You certainly know good stuff!”

The sunflower seeds produced in her space were fragrant and crispy, and she also liked to snack on them occasionally.

Daohua smiled and waved the plate in front of the parrot again, “Want to eat? If you want to eat, say a couple of auspicious phrases.”

“Daohua, happy birthday!”

Daohua shook her head, “I’ve heard that one already.”

After a moment of silence, the parrot seemed to think, then as if recalling something it had learned, it came out with, “Daohua, loved by all, flowers bloom at your sight, and tires burst when cars pass by, with skin thicker than the city walls!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent!

A few seconds later, the room erupted in laughter.

Yan Wenkai laughed the hardest, bending forward and backward, holding his stomach, unable to stand up straight.

Seeing this, Daohua glared at Xiao Yeyang with a puffed-up face.

Xiao Yeyang sheepishly touched his nose, avoiding Daohua’s expression.

On the Lantern Festival, he found Daohua’s self-praising sentence amusing. While teasing the parrot, he jokingly repeated it, not expecting the parrot to remember it.

Daohua pouted and sat next to the old lady, who also laughed until she ran out of strength. Knowing that if she laughed any longer, her granddaughter would feel embarrassed, she waved her hand, “All right, all right, no more laughing, let’s eat the noodles, or they’ll all stick together.”

They were indeed getting a bit sticky, but since it was Daohua’s longevity noodles, everyone still sat down and got ready to eat.

Outside, Yan Zhigao listened to the laughter coming from the dining room, smiled as he stroked his beard, and said to Madam Li beside him, “I won’t go in, so as not to make the children uncomfortable.”

Madam Li smiled and nodded in agreement, “Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on them, and there won’t be a repeat of last time,” she referred to the incident when Yan Yile rudely demanded a favor from the Little Prince.

Yan Zhigao trusted Madam Li and walked away briskly.

There was no need for them to try too hard to please the Little Prince when he visited their home; they just needed to let him have fun and enjoy himself, which his eldest daughter did very well.

Just after Daohua and the others had finished the noodles, Zhou Chengye arrived with Zhou Jingwan.

“Daohua, happy birthday!”

The voice arrived before they did.

Just as Daohua was instructing Wang Manman to serve the sunflower seeds to everyone, she heard Zhou Jingwan’s clear voice and immediately laughed, “This girl acts as if others don’t know how loud her voice can be.” She spoke as she walked out to greet them.

Just as she reached the doorway, the curtain was lifted.

“Sister Zhou, happy birthday!”

Zhou Chengye smiled as he handed over a pot of orchids he was holding.

“Thank you!”

Daohua’s eyes sparkled upon seeing the orchids, curving her brows and eyes as she received them.

The orchids raised by the Zhou Family were all highly valuable, and she had always wanted to get one to grow.

Zhou Jingwan immediately leaned in: “I had to pester Grandfather for a long time to get this for you, you should really thank me properly.”

“Yes, yes, many thanks to Miss Zhou!” Smiling, Daohua handed the flower pot to Wang Manman beside her and then pulled Zhou Jingwan into the house, “You’ve come at just the right time, I was just telling everyone about sunflower seeds!”

Zhou Jingwan: “Sunflower seeds, are they the seeds of the sunflower?”

Daohua nodded: “Yes, they are the seeds of the sunflower.”

Zhou Jingwan: “Can they be eaten?”

Daohua: “They can, and they taste quite good.” Saying so, she grabbed a handful of seeds and gave them to Zhou Jingwan, “Here, try some.”

Meanwhile, Zhou Chengye also had some, and with a surprised expression, he said, “I didn’t expect sunflower seeds to be edible, and they actually taste pretty good.”

Daohua immediately said, “If you like them, I’ll give you some to take back with you.”

Zhou Jingwan quickly nodded: “Sure, that sounds great, I think sunflower seeds are especially good to eat while watching a play.”

Hearing this, Daohua instantly laughed, munching on seeds while watching a play was indeed one of the great joys throughout the ages.

The room was filled with chatter and laughter, and later they went out to the courtyard to enjoy flowers, sample tea, and play word association games. Yan Wenkai even brought out some playing cards, joining Xiao Yeyang and a few others for a game.

The whole morning, everyone was full of laughter and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

As it neared midday, Daohua took Wang Manman to the kitchen to see how the meal preparations were coming along. On their way back, they ran into the butler.

Seeing the butler carrying a food box, Daohua stopped him: “Butler Sun, where are you heading?”

Butler Sun, feeling nervous, stepped forward with a respectful bow and a smile: “Madam Lin mentioned earlier she wanted something sweet, and master instructed me to deliver some pastries.”

Daohua raised an eyebrow: “Oh? What kind of pastries are these? Let me have a look. If they’re tasty, later on I’ll also buy some for my mother to try.” She didn’t see her cheap father thinking about her mother.

Butler Sun showed a bitter expression, inwardly lamenting, why did he have to encounter the young lady now?

Seeing his stalling behavior, Daohua remained patient, just standing there, not hurrying him.

Finally, Butler Sun reluctantly opened the food box.

Looking at the red Blood Swallow Cake inside the box, Daohua’s face immediately fell, her voice turning cold: “This is what mother sent to father for nourishment, isn’t it?”

The blood swallow was a rare delicacy sent by Xiao Yeyang. The Blood Swallow Cake was also made by her own hands. After it was made, she had only given it to the old Madam and Madam Li, nowhere else.

Butler Sun gave a pained smile and nodded.

Daohua scoffed coldly: “Father seems quite compassionate and caring, but it’s a pity he’s just wasting mother’s good intentions.”

Butler Sun hurriedly said, “The master was just thinking of Madam Lin because she is pregnant, and so he…”

Before he could finish, Daohua raised her hand to interrupt: “Enough, go deliver your things.” After speaking, she turned and walked away with Wang Manman.

Seeing this, Butler Sun regretted not having looked around properly to see if anyone was present before entering the courtyard, chastising himself with several slaps to his face.

After parting with Butler Sun, Daohua was not in a great mood and didn’t hurry back to the old Madam’s courtyard, instead slowly walking with Wang Manman.

Eventually, they found themselves sitting down in the pavilion where Xiao Yeyang and others had been playing chess earlier.
