The invitations have been sent out, and Yu Yin and Lu Shurui have been driving around these past few days, buying supplies for the banquet.

Speaking of cars, the old Jeep was left at the factory, and Yu Yin bought a new sedan, a Santana, which cost quite a bit of money. Yu Yin also learned to drive, and she drives herself to the factory whenever she needs to.

Lin Dong obtained a college diploma through night school and stayed on to work in the finance department, which he liked.

Yu Yin found Zhong Ling, who opened a cake shop after giving birth, and the business was booming.

"Sister Yu Yin, you're here." Zhong Ling bought the shop herself, and Wu Dali has earned quite a bit of money over the past few years.

"Pingping and An'an's college acceptance letters have arrived. We're having a small party at home now, and we're ordering some small cakes from you—the cupcakes you invented before." Zhong Ling is very talented; the cupcakes she painstakingly developed taste good and are convenient.

"Is the time set? I have to go join the fun!"

“Since you’re not opening the shop, we booked for the afternoon, which is your busiest time, so we didn’t tell you.”

Yu Yin really didn't give letters to many people; everyone was quite busy.

"It won't make a difference if I take one less afternoon. I can just take a few less orders. There are waiters in the shop, so it's fine. I can't miss such a happy occasion." Zhong Ling recalled the years she spent at Yu Yin's house, when An An and the others took good care of her and didn't look down on her.

"Okay, the date is this Sunday. You can arrange it yourself. The cake will be ready in the morning, and I'll come to pick it up then."

There were still many things to buy, but Yu Yin didn't say much. She ordered the quantity she needed and left.

To prepare a buffet, you need to prepare a lot of things: plates, dishes, forks, juice glasses...

Yu Yin and Lu Shurui shopped for several days before they finally bought everything they wanted.

On Sunday morning, my second sister's family arrived first, followed closely by my eldest brother Lu's family.

"Congratulations! I'm so envious!" Her son Zhuangzhuang didn't get into university after graduating high school, so he learned car repair. Now he's finished his apprenticeship and is earning money. After a few years and gaining experience, he'll open his own car repair shop.

Duoduo's grades are decent; she got into a local university last year, which is pretty good. Then there's Cheng Laosan, who was incredibly mischievous as a child, but surprisingly, he's the smartest of the kids. He just started junior high; who knows what the future holds?

"Second sister, second brother-in-law, I would have called you even if you hadn't come. I have so much to do."

Yu Yin knew about her second sister's worries; Zhuangzhuang's failure to get into university had become a source of anxiety for her.

"Sure, just tell me how to do it."

Yu Yin handed the layout plan to her second brother-in-law; he was the perfect person to coordinate these matters.

My second brother-in-law took it, understood it, and went to work with the children.

Yu Yin and Lu Shurui greeted the guests outside; those who arrived earlier couldn't be left unattended.

One by one, friends who were able to get away arrived.

"Shurui, Yinyin, quite a few people have arrived."

Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, and Lu Shukang's family all came; it's unclear whether they bumped into each other or came together.

"Dad, you're here." Yu Yin ignored Lu's mother and Lu Shukang. She couldn't kick them out, but she wouldn't bother with them either.

"I'm so happy! Pingping and An'an have done so well! That's the best university in the country! Our Lu family is so proud of us! Haha..."

It seems that Mr. Lu is genuinely happy; it's rare to see him so emotionally expressive.

Lu Shurui led the group into the house, where her second sister and the others were already inside.

Lu's mother didn't say anything sarcastic. Now, Yu Yin had reached a height that she couldn't even see, and she had lost her confidence.

Lu Shukang's second wife was very shocked. This was her first time visiting Yu Yin's house, and she was amazed by the huge garden villa. She wondered how much it cost.

After a busy morning, the yard is ready.

Tables and chairs were placed under round parasols, and each table was covered with a uniform tablecloth with delicate little flowers, which was very refreshing.

Under the rectangular awning on the other side was a row of tables, also covered with nice tablecloths. On the tables were Western and Chinese dishes, served on pretty plates, which looked very appetizing.

The food section includes Western-style pastries, Chinese-style desserts, fruits, beverages, and cooked food... The food is either made fresh in the morning or delivered from the restaurant.

On the table next to me were tableware, glasses, low-proof liquor, mostly fruit wine, wine, soda, beer, and some cocktails.

When the appointed time arrived, all the guests had arrived.

Lu Shurui and Yu Yin stood together in the middle, and Lu Shurui needed to give a brief speech.

Holding the microphone, dressed in crisp trousers, a neat white short-sleeved shirt, and black leather shoes, Lu Shurui exuded charm. He radiated an air of scholarly refinement, showcasing a man at his best.

Yu Yin wore a long dress, her hair was styled, and she maintained a good figure, looking like she was in her early thirties. The two of them standing together looked like a married couple and were a very well-matched pair.

"Dear friends and family, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the celebration of your two children's graduation and witness the beginning of another chapter in their lives. Today, my wife and I have prepared a simple meal with wine and vegetables, please enjoy it."

After Lu Shurui and Yu Yin finished their brief remarks, they announced the start of the banquet.

Many people are seeing this kind of buffet-style banquet for the first time and are a little unsure how to do it.

Pingping and the others served everyone at the tableware area, explaining how to prepare the food, what to take, and how much to take, emphasizing that food should not be wasted.

After a short while, Sister Lu replaced the children and let them play with the other children.

There were quite a few children today, both big and small.

The eldest is Lu Xiangyi from Brother Lu's family. He's about to graduate from university. He did well on the college entrance exam, but he didn't end up going to Beijing. Instead, he went to a local key university.
