"Xiaoyi, you have such a skillful hands." Aunt Su walked to Zhou Yi with a smile. The more she looked at her little niece, the more she liked her. If her age allowed it, she really wanted to give birth to a little girl like Zhou Yi.
"Second Aunt, does everything look okay?" Zhou Yi looked at the two tables of New Year's Eve dinner.
"It's more than just okay. It's simply perfect. I guess there's no other chef in the whole country who can compare with your cooking skills." Aunt Su said with a smile, hugging Zhou Yi's shoulders.
"Second Aunt, aren't you afraid that you will hurt me by praising me so much?" Zhou Yi smiled.
"I'm stating the facts. Besides, even if I praise her badly, it can't cover up the excellence of our Xiaoyi." Aunt Su was amused by Zhou Yi.
"Okay, let's sit down and eat. The weather is cold and the food will get cold soon." Grandma Su looked at Zhou Yi and Aunt Su with a smile.
Everyone sat down. The dishes in front of them were so beautiful that no one was willing to pick up their chopsticks and start eating.
"Everyone, please pick up your chopsticks. This is just a dish, and it's meant to be eaten." Zhou Yi looked at everyone who was reluctant to pick up their chopsticks, and said with a bit of a smile.
"Junior sister, the New Year's Eve dinner you made is so pleasing to the eyes that I really don't want to start eating it." Zhan Hongying said with a smile while holding chopsticks.
"We make it look better just to make everyone enjoy the meal more. If you are reluctant to eat it because of this, then all my work will be in vain." Zhou Yi was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and then he was the first to pick up a piece of peacock fish with his chopsticks.
Everyone thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, and then they all started eating with their chopsticks.
This New Year’s Eve dinner was as perfect as every dish Zhou Yi made. The atmosphere was great, and it was a true reunion and beauty.
Moreover, there was only a little bit left of each dish. If it weren’t for the meaning of abundance every year, the table would probably have been cleared out. It was so delicious.
Later, when Qin Bei heard about the New Year's Eve dinner prepared by Zhou Yi, he shouted that he regretted not going to Su's house to eat on New Year's Eve.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Zhan Hongying, He Zhan and Li Zhao left with excuses, and no one knew where they went.
Su Ting and Su Xun also left the main living room mysteriously.
There were only five elders and Zhou Yi left in the living room. She was a little puzzled, wondering what all of them were busy with.
"Mom and Dad, what are my brothers and sisters busy with?" Zhou Yi asked with some confusion.
"We don't know either. They've been acting so mysterious these past two days." Su Mingzhe smiled and poured Zhou Yi a cup of tea. "Don't worry about them. Let's drink some tea to cool down."
Zhou Yi took a sip of tea and looked at Uncle Su and the others: "Uncle and Aunt Su, where are Brother Ting and Xiaoxun? They disappeared after dinner."
"Xiaoyi, you don't have to worry about them. They are just brats who don't understand." Su Mingfeng replied.
Zhou Yi felt even more puzzled. What was going on with all of them?
"Grandma, Mom, Dad, Uncle and Aunt, why don't I go and see what they are doing? They didn't even stay up together to celebrate the New Year." Zhou Yi spoke again.
"Xiaoyi, don't worry about them. Come here to grandma. Those monkeys are not here. Grandma will give you the New Year's money first. It's bigger than theirs." Grandma Su smiled and waved to Zhou Yi.
"Grandma, the New Year's money is just for good luck. I am a millionaire now." Zhou Yi said with a smile, but still walked towards Grandma Su.
"What you earn is yours, and it is different from what grandma gave you." Grandma Su smiled and took Zhou Yi's hand. She really liked this granddaughter from the bottom of her heart.
Grandma Su turned around and took a wooden box from the table beside her. When she opened the lid, her eyes were slightly red. "Xiaoyi, there are sixteen red envelopes in this box. Fifteen of them are from the fifteen years you were missing. Every year, grandma prepares New Year's money for you. The one above is this year's, and I can finally give it to you in person."
Zhou Yi didn't expect that in the fifteen years since the original owner went missing, Grandma Su actually prepared New Year's money for her every year. This meant that she always remembered her in her heart and firmly believed that she could find her.
When Zhou Yi was so moved that she didn't know how to react, her parents and her second uncle and second aunt also took out a box, which contained all the lucky money they had prepared for her over the past fifteen years.
Zhou Yi saw the three gift boxes as soon as she walked into the living room. She originally thought that they were gifts for the New Year or something, but - at this moment, her heart was not only filled with family love, she even felt that this love was a bit heavy.
"Grandma, Mom, Dad, Uncle and Aunt, I~" Zhou Yi's eyes were red and she didn't know what to say.
Although her body is now the original owner Zhou Yi, her soul is completely different, and she always feels guilty.
"Silly child, why are your eyes red again? These were originally prepared for you." Qin Qin walked over and hugged Zhou Yi's shoulders.
"Mom~" Zhou Yi calmed down, "Thank you everyone, I am really lucky to be born in the Su family, thank you for loving me."
Zhou Yi's words were completely from her own perspective. In her previous life, she had no relatives or friends, but in this life, she was able to integrate into the Su family through the identity of the original owner. She was really grateful.
"Silly child, you are a member of the Su family and it is normal for us to love you. Why are you saying thank you?" Grandma Su gently patted the back of Zhou Yi's hand.
"That's right, Xiaoyi, if we have to say thank you, we should thank you. Look how much more laughter there is in the Su family since you came back?" Second Aunt Su also spoke from the side.
"Xiaoyi, let's put aside other things. If it weren't for you, Second Uncle would have been stuck in Gangcheng. Besides, your superb cooking skills have brought us many delicious foods." Su Mingfeng said with a smile.
Speaking of thanks, Su Mingfeng really didn't know how to thank Zhou Yi.
"Second uncle, we are a family, let's not talk about this." Zhou Yi looked at Su Mingfeng.
"Isn't that right? The whole family should be happy when staying up all night to welcome the New Year." Su Mingfeng said.
Su Mingzhe, who had been silent the whole time, had slightly red eyes when he looked at Zhou Yi. He had never believed in ghosts or gods, but in the past few months he had thanked God countless times for allowing him to find Zhou Yi back.
Bang bang bang~
Just as I was feeling overwhelmed with emotion in the living room, fireworks bloomed one after another in the night sky outside the Su residence.
They all stood up and walked outside the yard. Zhou Yi looked at the fireworks in the night sky and knew that it must be the masterpiece of several senior brothers and cousins who were busy working on it.
"Mom and Dad, are these the fireworks set off by our seniors?" Zhou Yi turned to look at Su Mingzhe and Qin Qin in surprise.
Su Mingzhe nodded and told Zhou Yi: "Yier, look quickly."
Bang bang bang~
Two more rows of fireworks bloomed in the night sky, each row of fireworks vaguely forming two sentences: 'Xiaoyi, welcome home' and 'Happy New Year'.
Zhou Yi looked at the words on the night sky above Su's residence, and was so moved that two lines of tears rolled down his eyes.
