fool, once An Shuchao gave his approval, Bai Xue couldn’t do anything about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about the good days ahead flying away, she felt upset the entire afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Hao’s headache was still rather severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After simply uttering a few words, she turned and went back into the room, lay down on the kang bed, pulled the quilt over her head, and fell asleep again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she woke up again, it was already dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She got up, washed her face, and walked out after lifting the cotton curtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kitchen fire had been extinguished, and after glancing inside, she went directly to the north room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The north room was where An Shuchao and Bai Xue lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They usually ate in this room, which had a small low table in the center already set with food, waiting just for her and her brother, An Ping, who hadn’t arrived home yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An Hao, come and eat,” Bai Xue greeted her with a smile as soon as she saw her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn’t the slightest unhappiness on her face, and with her indifferent attitude, it seemed as if the afternoon’s events had never happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she was acting this way, An Hao didn’t give her a dirty look either, but sat down with a grin as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at the food on the table, corn porridge with flatbread and pickles, a meal that was quite a bit worse than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Bai Xue was annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the family was poor, it wasn’t bad to this extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soup in the bowl was so watery it could reflect a person’s image, the flatbread had been reheated several times and changed color, obviously tough and not tasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grains of salt on the pickles hadn’t been washed off properly, suggesting the meal wouldn’t be very good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Hao didn’t point this out, and the family sat at the table waiting for An Ping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time for him to come home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, after a short wait, An Ping came back from a classmate’s house where he had been doing homework.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he got home, he threw his backpack aside and sat at the low table without even washing his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t even wash your hands before eating,” An Hao frowned and reprimanded him, “Be careful or you’ll get sick.”An Ping, a sixteen-year-old lad with thick eyebrows and big eyes, bore a slight resemblance to An Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her say this, he glared: “You always make a fuss over nothing.”Their relationship hadn’t been very good anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when their mother was alive, An Ping was mischievous to an extreme, and An Hao would always scold him, which made him particularly resent her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After their mother passed away and stepmother Bai Xue entered the house, she quickly noticed that An Shuchao favored sons over daughters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She skillfully indulged An Ping, always catering to him with the best food and drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the boy, as witless as she had been in a past life, was easily won over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once their father died, An Ping was kicked to the curb without a penny to his name, and he even dared to gamble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he finally saw the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When debt collectors came chasing and blocked their door, he stood in front of her, taking a knife to his death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood that spilled everywhere, the regretful look in his eyes as he stared at An Hao before dying, uttering his last words in life: “Sis, I was wrong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was me who harmed you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m sorry,”—the blood and those final words of remorse and tragedy pierced An Hao’s eyes and heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she had been reborn, the memory of her past life still caused her heart to ache faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this life, she absolutely wouldn’t let her brother be spoiled by Bai Xue into those bad habits of dependence, she would ensure her dear brother trod a different path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When An Hao came to her senses, Bai Xue was already standing up with a smile, taking a towel from the rack, scooping some hot water from the iron pot on the stove, dunking the towel into it, and handing it to An Ping: “An Ping, your sister is right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, wipe your hands.”“Mom is always good to me,” An Ping took the towel, wiped his hands carelessly, and handed it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re spoiling him,” An Shuchao said this despite feeling pleased inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They say stepmothers are heartless, but Bai Xue was an exception, quite good to his own son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xue just smiled: “They are all children after all.”An Ping reached out to start eating, but upon seeing only a dish of pickles on the table, his face immediately soured: “Why is our food getting worse and worse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even pigs eat better than us!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m growing right now, how can I manage if I don’t eat well?”\u003C\u002Fp>",838,"2026-06-03T10:10:23.630Z","2026-06-03T10:10:27.250Z",1,"novelbin.me","01db8f715c64089a4db98df1a88fc1a15a0d196cf24d70f031d0caa393ba124a","sweet-nostalgia-of-the-80s-chapter-6","sweet-nostalgia-of-the-80s-chapter-4",2511,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsweet-nostalgia-of-the-80s-cover.jpg"]
