Wang Xinghe and Li Lian are making dumplings in the kitchen.
"Aunt Li, is there anything we can help you with?"
"No need, no need, you all go and rest. You've been busy all year, these few days are your time to rest."
"Yes, eldest sister, second sister, you should go and rest. We'll be fine here."
Su Zhilan has already gone to wash her hands.
"Aunt Li, I know a little about making dumplings. Let's make them together."
Su Muqing said that she never lifts a finger in the kitchen, and even a billionaire CEO would be helpless in this important place.
Fortunately, a phone call saved Su Muqing from the crisis.
"Aunt Li, I'm sorry, I have some things to take care of. The company overseas is having some trouble."
"Okay, go ahead. These foreign companies, don't they know it's Chinese New Year in China? Calling at this time of year."
"It's some important stuff, I'll go take care of it."
"Okay, hurry up and get it done, we should eat soon."
A short while later, Su Ke'er ran back from outside, shouting as she ran that someone had been murdered.
"Third sister killed someone! Killed someone!"
"These two are a real clown."
"Yes, Ke'er and Xuan Yu have been like this since they were little. Xuan Yu likes to bully Ke'er."
"Second sister, third sister hit me. Look at my arm, it's all red from her hitting me."
After calling out to everyone but finding no one, Su Ke'er ran to the kitchen to complain.
"What did you do to upset your third sister this time?"
"Second sister, you're wronging me. How could I dare to offend her? She said she hasn't exercised in a long time and insisted on practicing with me. She even said she'd let me use only one hand."
"And then you said yes?"
"yes."
Su Ke'er thought that she had finally gotten her revenge and was determined to fight back, but she didn't expect that Su Xuanyu could easily control her with one hand.
"Ke'er, where are you going! Come back with me right now!"
"I surrender, I surrender, Third Sister, I'm not fighting anymore."
"How can you stop fighting halfway through? Come back with me!"
Su Ke'er sat directly on the ground and hugged Li Lian's legs.
"Aunt Li! Someone's been murdered! Please help me!" Su Ke'er rubbed her face against Li Lian's leg.
Li Lian's heart almost melted when she saw Su Ke'er like this.
"Alright, Xuan Yu, just let your sister off the hook. It's the New Year, and it wouldn't be good if she got hurt, would it?"
"I'll let you off this time because Aunt Li pleaded for you. What are you thinking? Planning to take revenge, huh?" Su Xuanyu whispered in Su Ke'er's ear.
"Help! Murder! Third Sister, I know I was wrong!"
"Look how scared you are. Let's go, don't disturb Aunt Li and the others while they're cooking."
“I’ll stay and help too! I want to learn how to cook, is that okay, Aunt Li?”
"You're just causing trouble here, get out of here right now!"
Su Ke'er was thus ruthlessly dragged out by Su Xuanyu.
"Third sister, let's go set off fireworks. We're going to have fireworks tonight."
"Alright, you little rascal, I said I wouldn't hit you, so I won't. Let's go set off fireworks, at least we'll have something to do."
Soon, night fell. Kyoto was unusually cold tonight, and the weather forecast said it might snow.
The Su family manor was unusually warm. Su Ke'er had turned on the heating early on. At this moment, Su Ke'er was holding her iPad and watching dramas on the sofa in the living room. There was also a lot of snacks on the table.
"Hehe, this is so funny! Ling'er's acting in this drama is really good. Third Sister, do you want to come and watch?"
"Boring." Su Xuanyu's phone was showing a military channel.
"Dinner's ready, everyone!" Su Zhilan called out as she came out of the kitchen.
"Yay! It's finally time to eat. I'm going to see what delicious food Aunt Li and the others have made."
"You come here right now! Go and call our eldest sister for dinner. She's been in the study since this afternoon, hurry up!"
"Oh, I see, Third Sister. You won't go yourself, so you just order me around."
Su Ke'er reluctantly ran upstairs to call Su Muqing.
Once all the dishes were served, Su Ke'er and Su Muqing came downstairs.
"This is the first time our family has eaten together. Zhilan, go to the wine cellar and bring up two bottles of red wine."
"Okay, Dad, I'll go right away."
Su Ke'er's mouth watered at the sight of the dishes on the table. Just as she was about to pick up her chopsticks, Su Xuanyu slapped her hand.
"Third sister, what are you doing? It hurts!"
"Greedy!"
"I'm just getting the flavors for you guys first, to see how they taste."
"It looks delicious, so I won't bother you."
Su Ke'er had been eagerly awaiting Su Zhilan's return, and finally she did.
"Alright, alright, everyone, let's start eating. Don't be shy, we're all family!" Su Ke'er said, gesturing to everyone.
"Alright, let's listen to Ke'er and start eating," Su Zhengshan said.
After a hearty meal, Su Ke'er burped and sat down in her chair.
"It's delicious. I haven't had such a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner in a long time. It turns out that once the nanny goes on holiday during the New Year, we can only eat takeout."
"From now on, if you want to eat it, Aunt Li will make it for you every year."
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Li!"
"The dumplings are here, let's eat dumplings!" Wang Xinghe brought a plate of dumplings from the kitchen.
"Oh no! I forgot, there are dumplings too. Stomach, do you have any space? Or could you make some room for me?" Su Ke'er asked her stomach, looking down at her belly.
This gesture made the already heartwarming scene even more joyful.
"Alright, let's eat dumplings, Ke'er. If you can't eat any more, just eat two as a token. How can we celebrate the New Year without eating dumplings?"
"Aunt Li, I understand. Please remind me next year. I love eating dumplings, but I'm afraid I won't be able to eat them this year."
"It's okay, Zhilan, Xinghe, and I made a lot. We'll cook dumplings for you tomorrow morning."
"Okay! Hehe, I'll try one."
Su Ke'er picked one up, blew on it, put it in her mouth, and her eyes instantly turned into crescent shapes.
"It's so delicious!"
Su Ke'er managed to eat only three dumplings despite her best efforts. After finishing the dumplings, the Su family's New Year's Eve dinner came to a perfect end.
"What should I do? I feel so uncomfortable." Su Ke'er, lying on Su Xuanyu's lap, clutched her stomach, her little face scrunched up in pain.
"Whose fault is that? Should I take you out for a run?"
"Third sister, just say you want to hurt me. I'm feeling terrible, and now you want me to go for a run? Besides, who exercises on New Year's Eve? No way, I'd rather die than go."
"Then you can suffer as you please."
"Little brother Xinghe, what should we do?" Su Ke'er looked at Wang Xinghe pitifully.
"Fourth sister, there's nothing I can do."
"What are you doing? Who are you talking to?"
"Friends, everyone's sending red envelopes in the group chat, I'll grab a few."
"Oh right! Red envelopes! Quick, give me my phone. There are bound to be a lot of groups sending out red envelopes today. I want to grab one!" Su Ke'er said, pointing to her phone, which was a few arms' lengths away.
The moment the topic of grabbing red envelopes came up, Su Ke'er seemed to instantly feel better and regain her energy.
