90s: You are all reborn, who will spoil you?

It was already evening when Xie Jianhua finished his work.

The afterglow of the setting sun filtered through the trees in the family compound, scattering mottled rays on his shoulders, casting a layer of golden glow on his tired figure.

He took a deep breath of the fresh air, and a desire to go home surged in his heart.

I silently said to myself that my daughter Xie Yan was frightened today and I need to comfort her.

After entering the house, Xie Jianhua skillfully changed into slippers and placed the medical box at the entrance.

In the kitchen, he skillfully opened the refrigerator, took out fresh ingredients, and began to prepare dinner.

His movements were skillful and powerful. Although Lin Luping would occasionally cook, most of the time he was responsible for the family's daily meals.

It’s not that Lin Luping can’t cook, but Xie Jianhua thinks her cooking is not tasty, and his daughter always eats very little of the food she cooks.

My daughter is only 8 years old now. She is in the growing stage and needs more nutrition.

But Lin Luping is a very selfish person. Every time she cooks, she never cares whether her daughter likes the food or not, but only cares whether she wants to eat it or not.

Many times when he was too busy with work to cook for his daughter, he asked Lin Luping to cook for her, and she could only eat plain water spinach or boiled sweet potatoes, corn, etc.

He remembered that his daughter loved eating fish, stir-fried meat with mushrooms, and beef, but she didn't like the vegetarian dishes that Lin Luping ate to control her figure.

Over time, he was the one who cooked all the meals at home. He enjoyed the process of cooking delicious food for his daughter, and the satisfaction he felt when he saw her eating with relish was beyond words.

Tonight, he specially asked Lao Zhang from the rural cooperative to buy fish and ribs and make some of Xie Yan's favorite dishes: braised pork, steamed fish, sweet and sour spare ribs, and a refreshing cold cucumber salad.

The braised pork is rolling in the pot, exuding fragrance; the steamed fish is waiting quietly in the steamer, waiting to be given new life; the sweet and sour spare ribs are crackling in the oil pan, making an enticing sound.

While Xie Jianhua was busy, he hummed a little tune and was in a particularly happy mood.

Lin Luping was sorting some old things in the living room at this time. She occasionally looked up towards the kitchen and saw Xie Jianhua busy at work, with no intention of helping at all.

Xie Yan sat on the sofa, looking at her father's busy back, her thoughts racing.

She remembered that when she was a child, every time she came home from school, she could always smell the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen. Those were the delicious dishes her father prepared for her.

At that time, she always couldn't wait to run into the kitchen, circle around her father, watch him skillfully stir-fry the dishes in the pot, and anxiously want to have a bite right away.

However, she is a fool who doesn't know how to appreciate what she has.

In her previous life, she became Lin Luping's accomplice and the sharp blade that killed her father, the only person who loved her.

Thinking of this, Xie Yan clenched her hands, and strong hatred burst out of her eyes.

Xie Jianhua is busy with his work, while Lin Luping's work is relatively easy.

Xie Yan has been close to her mother Lin Luping since she was a child, and she also particularly likes her amiable grandparents who often buy her food.

When she was very young, her mother told her that her father liked sons and didn't like her because she was a daughter.

However, she was born after her mother carried her for ten months with great difficulty, so her mother loves her.

Because of these words that were deliberately instilled in her since she was a child, she has always been prejudiced against her father. She feels that her father does not love her, and she wants to stand on the side of her mother Lin Luping.

It's a pity that there are three people in the family, and two of them are targeting Xie Jianhua.

It was obvious that Xie Jianhua contributed the most to the entire family, but Lin Luping stole his achievements with just a few words.

At dinner time, the family sat around the dining table and enjoyed the delicious food carefully prepared by Xie Jianhua.

Xie Jianhua sat in the main seat. His face looked particularly gentle under the soft light, and his eyes sparkled with love for his family.

He would pick up food for his daughter from time to time and ask her about her day with concern.

His voice was deep and powerful, and every word revealed his deep concern for his daughter.

Lin Luping sat next to Xie Jianhua, eating her meal with an expressionless face. She would only speak out in rebuttal when someone talked about her own affairs.

The warm atmosphere of dinner gradually faded away, leaving only a few empty plates and a few sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table.

Xie Jianhua stood up, patted his belly gently, smiled contentedly, then naturally picked up the dishes and chopsticks and walked towards the kitchen.

There was no hesitation or complaint in his movements; this was the most natural thing he did every day.

In the kitchen, Xie Jianhua turned on the faucet, and the water washed over the dishes, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

While washing dishes, he hummed the popular song "Stupid Kid" by Andy Lau, enjoying the tranquility and satisfaction.

Lin Luping was still sitting at the dining table, staring into the distance with empty eyes, her fingers unconsciously drawing circles in the air.

Her mind was obviously not here, and she seemed to be entangled in some deep-seated trouble.

The aroma of food lingering on the table and the song Xie Jianhua hummed seemed to become vague and distant in her ears.

Xie Yan glanced at Lin Luping, her eyes full of contempt. She knew that Lin Luping had not held her fart well, and at this moment Lin Luping must be thinking of ways to make trouble again.

Just as Xie Yan was wondering what Lin Luping wanted to do, the silver bell-like laughter of children came from downstairs, like a fresh breeze, blowing away the dullness in the room.

It was Lu Tingting from Room 404 of the staff housing complex, the little girl who was always full of energy and inseparable from Xie Yan.

She had a bright smile on her face and two jump ropes in her hands, obviously coming to play with Xie Yan.

"Yan Yan, Yan Yan! Here I am. Let's go down and jump rope! I just learned a new trick that will surely open your eyes!" Lu Tingting's voice was like the birdsong in the early summer morning, clear and melodious, full of desire for friendship and passion for games.

Xie Yan heard the call and poked her head out of the room. Seeing her childhood playmate, a smile as bright as a flower bloomed on her face. "Tingting! I'll be down right away. Wait for me!"

She hurriedly said hello to Lin Luping and Xie Jianhua, and ran downstairs like a happy little bird.

In the small square downstairs, the dim street lights cast a soft light, adding a bit of warmth and tranquility to the night.

Several girls around seven or eight years old in the family compound were jumping happily under the lights, the ropes drawing perfect arcs in the air. Along with their clear laughter, the whole world was filled with joy and harmony.

At this moment, Xie Yan felt that she had truly returned to her childhood.

Just as they were having fun and laughing, Xie Yan accidentally caught a glimpse of a familiar figure - Lin Luping. She was quietly slipping out of the gate of the family compound. She looked a little hurried, as if there was something urgent that needed to be dealt with.

Xie Yan couldn't help but murmur in her heart. She was right. Lin Luping was doing bad things secretly behind her again!

Why did Lin Luping suddenly go out alone?

That look is sneaky no matter how you look at it.

"Tingting, you play for a while. I'll be back after going to the bathroom." Xie Yan said to Lu Tingting, then found an excuse and quietly followed Lin Luping.

Her heart was full of doubts and curiosity. She wanted to know where Lin Luping was going and what she was doing.

She searched through her memories of her previous life and found that when she was eight years old, Lin Luping did not cause any major trouble.

Lin Luping's pace was not fast, but she seemed to be deliberately avoiding the crowd and chose some remote paths to walk on.

She looked back from time to time to see if anyone was following her.

Xie Yan followed carefully behind, keeping a certain distance, for fear of being discovered.
