Reincarnated as the Abandoned Daughter of a Marquis's Mansion: I Take Control of My Life

Chapter 219 New Year’s Eve Dinner

Zhou Yuan hurriedly entered the palace, while Su Yinyin returned to the Su residence to attend to her own affairs.

When Su Yinyin returned to the Su residence, the servants were busy preparing dinner. The afterglow of the setting sun shone in the courtyard, illuminating the servants' hurried figures.

Uncle Li, along with his spare time, set up a table and prepared for the New Year's Eve dinner. Upon seeing Su Yinyin and Biyu arrive, Uncle Li immediately greeted them with a warm smile. "Princess!"

Su Yinyin asked with concern, "Hmm, how's the New Year's Eve dinner preparation going?"

Uncle Li said happily, "That's about right. Eight people can sit at one table, with nine hot dishes, a soup, dumplings, rice, fruit, and snacks."

As Li Bo spoke, he gestured with his hands, his expression full of pride.

Su Yinyin nodded: "That's good, thank you for your hard work, Uncle Li."

Li Bo quickly waved his hand: "Your Highness is too kind. This is what this old servant should do."

Uncle Li's face was full of respect and humility.

Su Yinyin looked around: "Is everyone else alright?"

Uncle Li replied with a smile, "That's all good, that's all good. We're just waiting for you, Princess, to have New Year's Eve dinner together."

Uncle Li's voice was full of anticipation and joy.

Just then, Su Yi strode out from the inner room: "Yinyin, you're finally back."

Su Yinyin went up to her: "No, how come you're faster than me? Where are Yueyue and the others?"

Su Yi shook her head: "I came back first and made some arrangements. Yueyue and the others will arrive soon."

Su Yi wore a gentle smile.

At this moment, Su Yue and Su Nian'an also ran out excitedly: "Big sister, big sister!"

Bao Bao and Xiao Xiao came running over with their short legs. Su Yinyin squatted down and gently hugged them both.

Su Yinyin smiled broadly: "You two little rascals."

"It's snowing again. You two kids, hurry back," Su Yi said from the side, her voice tinged with concern.

Su Yinyin nodded in agreement, "Yueyue, you guys go back to the villa first, Ganggang and I will be there in a bit."

Su Yue, along with Su Nian'an, and Lin Jie, with the two children, obediently returned to the villa.

After they left, Su Yinyin said to Uncle Li, "Uncle Li, you should spend the New Year with them. There's a seven-day holiday after the New Year, and also...!"

Uncle Li stood to the side, carefully taking notes one by one.

Then, Su Yinyin and Su Yiping walked into the villa side by side.

Su Yinyin personally cooked the New Year's Eve dinner. She busied herself in the kitchen, the aroma of cooking filling the air. The portions were generous, as if she wanted to pour all her heartfelt wishes into them.

Hot pot and various stir-fried dishes were prepared. Su Yue, Su Nian'an, Bixia, and Biyu helped out, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

At this time, the first, second, and fifth brothers also returned to the villa.

He was discussing matters with Su Yi in the tea room. Only Lao Yi couldn't contain himself and followed them in and out of the kitchen.

They also followed Su Yue and the others to assist Su Yinyin. Su Yinyin gave orders without any hesitation, her voice clear and decisive.

In less than two hours, a table of steaming hot dishes, with an enticing aroma, was laid out on the table.

Satisfied, Su Yinyin took off her apron and said to the baby, "Baby, go to the tea room and call your uncles and aunts out for dinner."

For so many years, Su Yinyin has always been the one to cook the New Year's Eve dinner.

She also considers Lao Yi and Bixia as family. On New Year's Eve, as long as they're not on a mission, everyone at home eats together and stays up all night. This has become a warm tradition.

Everyone was seated behind the dining table. Su Yinyin specially brought out her treasured wine.

In fact, these liquors were all carefully selected and purchased by Su Yinyin in modern times.

Su Yinyin poured baijiu for the men and wine for herself and Su Yue.

Everyone raised their glasses, and Su Yinyin said with a smile, "This glass is to celebrate finding my brother and sister. And to wish us all peace and safety. Come, let's drink to that!"

Her smile was like the warm spring sun, warm and radiant.

Everyone responded enthusiastically, drinking it all in one gulp, their faces beaming with happy smiles.

Su Yi stood up, raised his glass, and said, "Thank you, Yin Yin, for allowing me to gather here with my sisters. Although we have a scumbag father, it doesn't matter. From now on, your brother will be your strongest support."

Su Yi's voice was firm and powerful, and her eyes were full of responsibility.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them down in one gulp.

Seeing Su Yinyin drink another glass of wine, Lao Yi couldn't help but worry, his brows furrowing slightly.

Su Yue also picked up her wine glass and said shyly, "Big sister, thank you!"

Su Yinyin said with a smile, "You're too kind, you're too kind. We're family. Family doesn't need to be so formal!"

"Big sister...!" Su Nian'an was about to say something, but Su Yinyin stopped her.

"I know what you want to say. You're welcome. If you want to thank me, then live a good life." Su Yinyin's eyes were full of tenderness and encouragement.

Su Nian'an nodded heavily, her eyes glistening with tears of emotion.

Everyone continued eating and drinking, with laughter and cheerful conversation filling the air.

The fifth brother smiled and said, "Miss, what wonderful things have you prepared for us this year?"

The fifth child's face was full of anticipation and curiosity, his eyes sparkling.

As soon as the fifth brother finished speaking, Su Yi and the second brother looked at Su Yinyin at the same time.

His eyes were full of anticipation. There was no way around it; Su Yinyin's skills were anything but ordinary.

Su Yinyin thought for a moment and replied, "Of course I've made preparations. What, do you want to take it now?"

There was a hint of playfulness in her eyes.

The fifth brother nodded hurriedly: "Miss, I can't wait any longer."

Su Yi coughed lightly: "Look at you, so pathetic."

Although Su Yi said that, a hint of expectation was also revealed in her eyes.

The second brother laughed and said, "That's right, but Miss, I'm also a little curious."

Su Yinyin smiled and stood up: "Okay, you wait here, I'll go get it."

A short while later, Su Yinyin returned with a cloth bag in her hand.

She placed the cloth bag on the table, opened it, took out three identical cloth bags, and laid them out on the table one by one, saying, "Come on, choose one yourself."

The three of them eagerly opened the cloth bag, which contained various precious pills.

Su Yue, Su Nian'an, and Lin Jie, who were sitting to the side, were stunned.

They just saw Su Yinyin take out three identical cloth bags from such a small bag. It was truly amazing.

Even after they finished choosing, the three of them were still in a daze, their eyes still fixed on the cloth bag.

The fifth brother took one of the cloth bags, glanced at it, and grinned from ear to ear: "Miss, you're so kind."

Su Yi took out a small dagger from the bag, her eyes full of surprise: "Yinyin, this dagger is a rare gem."

The second son then took out his favorite item from the cloth bag: a puzzle box. He was absolutely delighted with it.

Everyone thanked Su Yinyin, making the atmosphere even more lively.

Su Yinyin noticed the envious expressions on the three people's faces. So she said to them, "You don't need to envy those three. You don't need those things. I specially prepared them for you."

Su Nian'an nodded heavily, her eyes glistening with tears of emotion.
