I don't know when it started, but my sister suddenly seemed like a different person.
His life began to fall into chaos from that point on.
Holding a cornbread in his hands, Jiang Ping'an stared at the empty porridge on the table, feeling lost once again.
"When will this ever end!"
"Why waste time on that nonsense? We'll get paid tomorrow, so hurry up and buy the autumn vegetables. Otherwise, we won't even have pickled vegetables to eat this winter!"
Jiang Ping'an was already getting very impatient with the nagging from his biological father and stepmother.
Ever since he was beaten into the hospital by Jiang Shengli and returned home, this home is no longer the same home it used to be.
Overnight, everything in the house disappeared, my sister was sent to the countryside without even a final farewell, and my stepbrother was arrested and sent to a labor camp.
Only he and his two children, Jiang Donghai, were left at home. His stepmother had just lost her job, and then his own father became a toilet cleaner.
Because of this, he was often ridiculed by his classmates, and his previously decent grades plummeted. He dropped out of school in his third year of junior high.
Because of his young age, even though he didn't go to school or have a job, Jiang Ping'an was dragged around by his stepmother every day to make matchboxes at home.
But this is a rebellious age, so how could Jiang Ping'an compromise so easily? He would often find an excuse to slip away after only a few minutes.
Over time, he became a street thug, hanging out with a bunch of shady friends. He spent his days doing nothing, often standing at the street corner whistling at pretty girls.
As soon as they saw the patrolling Red Guards, they would run away, and gradually, they started stealing chickens and dogs again.
Until one day he stole from the government and was chased by security guards for three blocks. Although he eventually escaped, he accidentally broke his leg and became a cripple.
He drifted along like this for five or six years. Now he's seventeen. If he still can't find a job, he'll have to go to the countryside.
Jiang Ping'an was frustrated, but his family was currently strapped for cash and couldn't afford to buy him a job. As for him to take the exam on his own merit? That was just a pipe dream!
Finally, after agonizing for several months, Jiang Ping'an was packed up and sent to the countryside. Little did she expect that she would meet her goddess there.
When Jiang Ping'an first saw Jian Lexin, he felt his heart suddenly pounding wildly.
There were clearly about ten people standing there, but he only saw Jian Lexin.
Living in the same educated youth settlement, Jiang Ping'an thought he had a chance, but he never expected that his sweetheart already had a boyfriend.
But it's okay, as long as they're not married, there's no wall that can't be broken up, so he started to fawn over Jian Lexin.
Everyone in the educated youth settlement could see that Jiang Ping'an liked Jian Lexin, but Jian Lexin rejected him.
She even allowed her boyfriend, Jin Xiangming, to humiliate her. Although she was somewhat heartbroken, Jiang Ping'an still liked her.
Fearing that his beloved would be offended, Jiang Ping'an dared not be as blatant as before, and could only hide in the shadows, watching her every move.
Although they can't be together, Jiang Ping'an is content as long as he can see her every day.
But I never expected that God would be so cruel, even taking away such a small wish of his.
When the news of the college entrance examination came, everyone was incredibly excited. Everyone was focused on taking the exam and then returning to the city.
But what about Jiang Ping'an?
Does he not know his own level?
How can someone who hasn't even finished junior high school dream of applying to university?
However, for Jian Lexin's sake, Jiang Ping'an decided to take a desperate gamble.
Being able to do the same thing with your sweetheart is a source of great happiness. Jiang Ping'an signed up with Jian Lexin and started studying together, so busy that he stopped earning work points.
After more than a month, although he was somewhat overwhelmed, Jiang Ping'an still found it enjoyable.
Being assigned to the same exam room as his sweetheart made him incredibly excited, but unfortunately, he couldn't even get a glance from her.
After a long wait, the college entrance examination results finally came out. Jiang Ping'an thought that if he could pass the exam, perhaps Jian Lexin would look at him with new respect.
He just waited and waited and waited, and everyone else received their acceptance letters except him.
Watching Jian Lexin and Jin Xiangming leave, Jiang Ping'an felt as if his heart was being torn apart. Would he ever see the girl who made his heart flutter again?
In a daze, Jiang Ping'an fell down the hillside. In his hazy state, he seemed to see many figures.
Gradually, the scene before my eyes began to clear, and in the picture, I saw my childhood home.
"Little Ping An, is the egg delicious?"
"Little Ping An! Call me 'big sister'!"
"Ping An, sweetie, I'll play with you after I finish sweeping the floor!"
"Don't cry, Ping An. Even though Mommy is gone, you still have your sister!"
"Don't be afraid, Ping An! Your sister will protect you!"
Yes, Jiang Ping'an was raised by her older sister since she was a child, and she doesn't have many memories of her mother.
I can only vaguely recall one woman; she was very gentle, but her health was poor, and she was often bedridden.
From as far back as he can remember, it was his older sister who took care of him, and he liked her very much. So when did the siblings start to drift apart?
Jiang Ping'an thought and thought
It turned out that it was around that time, not long after her stepmother entered the house, that she and her sister began to drift further and further apart, starting with a piece of candy, half a cookie, and a piece of cake.
"Ping An, you can eat these things yourself. Your sister is a girl, she doesn't need to eat these!"
"Ping An, you're a boy, you can't always stick to your sister. Go play by yourself, your stepmother will buy you peach shortbread!"
"Ping An, girls should do more work so they can find a good husband in the future."
His stepmother's words seemed to have been brainwashed and imprinted in his mind. Over time, he changed his mindset and began to care less about his stepmother.
They watched coldly as she was beaten, scolded, worked, and suffered.
Ignoring her pain and hardship.
Ignoring her situation.
Until one day, when he came home from school, he saw his sister lying in a pool of blood.
From then on, he really didn't have a sister.
But in this life, my sister didn't die!
In a daze, he seemed to see another scene.
It turns out that another woman had taken over the older sister's body, carrying out her sister's wishes and helping her take revenge.
But in the end, he still didn't have a sister. His sister didn't forgive him, and he didn't deserve her forgiveness.
He betrayed his sister, allied himself with his stepmother, ignored his sister's plight, and even joined them in bullying her. He is also a sinner.
But now, perhaps he can go find his sister, as he feels the temperature in his body gradually disappearing.
Jiang Ping'an muttered to himself:
sorry!
sorry!
sorry!
If I could do it all over again, I would definitely be a good younger brother who protects my older sister!
Sister...I was wrong!
