Chapter 1569 New Year's Eve Dinner
After a flurry of activity, Sister Yun finally finished preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.
Mrs. Su sat high in the hostess's seat, directing her daughter-in-law to do this and that, watching her daughter-in-law fuss around, thoroughly enjoying herself.
With a cold face, Madam Su asked, "Xiaoxiao's mother, where are the ginger and scallions for the poached chicken? How can we eat it without ginger and scallions?"
What could Yun-jie say? She could only force a smile and say, "Mother, the servants have already brought it over."
Wait until the ginger and scallions are brought in.
He then said, "How can you eat this plate of boiled river shrimp without soy sauce?"
Sister Yun smiled apologetically again and said, "Mother, the soy sauce is in the kitchen, it's being brought in now."
Su gave a faint "hmm".
He glanced at Little Fatty and said, "Is Fatty's chicken leg ready? Don't chop it up, Fatty likes to eat it whole."
When Little Fatty heard about the chicken leg, her eyes lit up. She jumped off the fire bucket and pounced into Su's arms.
She exclaimed happily, "Grandma, Xiaoxiao loves chicken drumsticks the most. Grandma, Xiaoxiao wants to eat two!"
After thinking for a moment, he realized that two wouldn't be enough, so he said, "Not two, I want three."
After saying that, he held up three chubby little fingers.
Yun Jie glanced speechlessly at Su Shi and Little Fatty.
She still smiled apologetically and said, "Mother, we kept both the drumsticks and thighs of the poached chicken for the children in the family."
Mrs. Su gave a casual "oh" and continued, "Xiaoxiao's mother..."
Yun Jie'er didn't wait for Madam Su to finish speaking.
She rushed over first: "Mother, I'll go to the kitchen first and urge the servants to hurry up. Winter nights are long and days are short, so we need to eat our New Year's Eve dinner quickly before the sun goes down."
After saying that, he ran out without looking back, afraid that if he was a step too late, Su would come and give him instructions again.
Madam Su glared hatefully at Yun Jie'er's heavy figure.
She complained, "Fatty, look at your mother! She's so forgetful and careless. Humph, she calls herself a lady from a respectable family, but she's not even as good as me, her grandma from the countryside. Without me watching over her, we wouldn't be able to have this New Year's Eve dinner."
The chubby girl looked at Su with a confused expression, listening in a daze.
However, I still know that Grandma is scolding Mother.
Then she cleverly said, "Grandma, you're right. Mom is slow and can't eat. Grandma is kind, give Xiaoxiao a chicken leg."
Just now, Madam Su specifically asked Sister Yun for chicken legs, and even specified that they should be given to Little Fatty.
Oh dear, such obvious benefits! Little Fatty will definitely be on Su's side.
Mrs. Su was overjoyed, feeling that her granddaughter was devoted to her.
He nodded approvingly at the little girl's head: "You're a person with a conscience, better than your mother. No wonder you're surnamed Sun, you know how good your grandmother is."
The chubby girl lunged forward, her chubby little hands precisely grabbing Su's large gold bracelet.
Liangshanshan said, "Xiaoxiao loves Grandma the most, and Xiaoxiao wants to be with Grandma."
Madam Su sat upright in the main seat and nodded condescendingly: "As expected of my granddaughter, she is a smart woman and on the same page as me."
As the last rays of the setting sun gradually faded, the Sun family's New Year's Eve dinner was finally ready.
There was one table for men and one table for women. Little Fatty, Little Black Girl, and Tiger Cry, three tiny little mosquitoes, were running back and forth.
Thankfully, the living room is big enough to fit four or five tables.
The entire Sun family gathered together for their New Year's Eve dinner.
To Sun Shan's left was Sun Bomin, and to his right was Dege'er. He then glanced at Su Shi and Yun Jie'er at the next table.
He said happily, "Father, I am so happy to have you all with me for New Year's Eve dinner this year."
He paused, then said regretfully, "It's a pity that Grandma lives in Sunjia Village."
If the Huang family were here, it would be even more perfect.
Sun Bomin said happily, "Shanzi, your father is also very happy. Don't worry, your second uncle will take good care of your grandmother."
Uncle Sun is heartless; he doesn't miss Huang and Zheng at all.
He laughed and said, "Brother, Shanzi, I'm so happy to have New Year's Eve dinner with you all. Haha, even though we're not in Sunjia Village, it's the same with you guys here."
Sun Bomin thought that wherever his third uncle was with him, it was home, and he would be happy to have New Year's Eve dinner anywhere.
Moved, he said, "Okay, Third Brother, let's have New Year's Eve dinner together."
Dege'er was heartless, because in Yuanlu County, he was one step closer to becoming a "wealthy and powerful family," so he was extremely happy to eat this New Year's Eve dinner.
He said cheerfully, "Uncle, Shanzi, I'm so happy to be able to have New Year's Eve dinner with you. Haha, the food tonight is so delicious, I'm going to eat my fill. I hope I'll make a fortune next year."
Seeing Dege'er laughing so unrestrainedly, Sun Shan realized that he was already drunk even before drinking any alcohol and was starting to have wild fantasies.
He said with a smile, "Brother De, then you should eat more. You're not allowed to leave the table until your belly is round and full tonight."
Gui Ge'er chimed in, "That's right, De Ge, eat more, eat until your belly is as round as Xiao Xiao's."
Sun Dingnan patted De Ge'er on the shoulder with a hearty laugh: "Ade, we're in for a treat tonight."
Master Zhang said with a smile, "Last year I only had New Year's Eve dinner with the master, but this year I have New Year's Eve dinner with the old master, the third old master, and Master De. I am so happy."
Uncle Sun said with a hearty laugh, "Master Zhang, tonight we'll drink until we drop, hahaha."
Su, sitting at the next table, pursed her lips. A group of grown men were chatting away.
Especially Sun Bomin, he wouldn't touch his chopsticks, making it difficult for me to move either.
So she said, "Honey, Xiaoxiao is hungry, let's eat quickly."
The little girl had two large bowls in front of her, one for rice and the other for vegetables.
At this moment, two large chicken legs were already in the bowl, and I was eager to start eating.
Unfortunately, my grandfather and father were so talkative that they didn't even bother to eat.
The chubby girl eagerly chimed in, "Grandpa, are you hungry?"
The little girl was cunning; she didn't dare say she was hungry.
Standing to the side, Sister Yun glared at the chubby girl.
The chubby girl was too scared to speak.
Madam Su glanced smugly at Yun-jie. How could a daughter-in-law not serve her mother-in-law?
Now that Madam Huang is gone, she's finally become the mistress of the house, so she has to show off her power.
Seeing Yun Jie'er stand up, Li Jinhua dared not sit down and instead stood on the other side of Su Shi to serve her, just like Yun Jie'er.
At the women's table, only Madam Su and Madam Xia, the wife of Master Zhang, were seated.
This made Xia feel very embarrassed. Fortunately, she was older than the two young wives, so she was able to sit down with a forced smile.
When Sun Bomin heard that his grandson was hungry, he hurriedly shouted, "Everyone, let's eat!"
After picking up a piece of taro, the Sun family's New Year's Eve dinner officially began.
Yun-jie asked softly, "Mother, which piece would you like to eat?"
Su snorted coldly: "Give me a piece of braised goose."
He muttered to himself: "She has no sense at all; she doesn't even know which piece she wants to eat. What's the use of having a daughter-in-law like that?"
Yun Jie readily agreed and placed a piece of braised goose on Su Shi's plate.
Li Jinhua followed suit and picked up a piece of braised goose for Su.
Su was so arrogant and haughty.
See? This is the advantage of having a successful son. If he weren't successful, the daughter-in-law would be more ruthless than the mother-in-law in no time.
Her son Shanzi is different; he's capable. If his daughter-in-law is disobedient, he can divorce her and remarry in no time.
