A few days later, she was sitting at the desk in her office, staring blankly at a photo that her client had left for her. On the photo are two very beautiful girls. Their names are Zhu Xiang and Zhu Rui. They are a pair of half-sisters.
Just now, Zhu Xiang's elderly mother came to Chuanhe Housekeeping Service Company and specially thanked Zhang Xianxian for the urn he drew for her daughter. The haggard old man told her that he dreamed of his dead daughter last night, and her daughter thanked her for helping her fulfill her last wish. It was this unexpected thank you that made Zhang Xianxian know that the crazy woman Zhu Rui who had sent him the big red wooden coffin was actually the old man's adopted daughter and the sister who grew up with Zhu Xiang.
Seeing that she was similar in age to his daughter, the old man was moved by the scene and handed her a photo of his daughters, and also told her something about Zhu Xiang and Zhu Rui. The old couple were teachers at a local primary school. The old man taught Chinese and his lover taught mathematics. They had been married for many years and had a good relationship but never had children. This was the couple's biggest regret at the time.
One winter, the temperature in the city was extremely low, and it snowed heavily for several days. Later, one day in the middle of the night, the sleeping couple was suddenly awakened by a baby crying. At first, they thought it was a nearby child who was making trouble and didn't pay much attention to it. Later, when the crying sound continued, the couple realized something was wrong.
When something happened, the couple hurriedly got up and opened the door to search, and found that the source of the sound was outside their yard.
When they opened the door, they saw an abandoned little baby girl lying on the cold stone steps at the door. The little baby girl wore a pink woolen hat, her big black eyes were full of tears, her little nose and face were red from the cold, and her voice was obviously hoarse when she cried with her mouth wide open.
The blanket that wrapped her looked very thin and cheap. The old man hurriedly picked up the child, only to find that there was a note asking for adoption hidden in the thin blanket. The handwriting on the note was clumsy and scrawled, and the general message was that the parents were in trouble and could not raise the child, so they asked kindhearted people to adopt him and never recognize him again.
Perhaps the parents of the little baby girl were afraid that the adopter would not believe them, so they put a big bloody handprint on the words "Never Recognize". Seeing this scene, the childless couple checked again to see if there was no one around, and hurriedly took the little girl home who was about to freeze to death.
They are all kind-hearted people. Thinking that Daxue had given birth to a child that day, they felt that this was a blessing from heaven and named the little girl Zhu Rui. Unexpectedly, the second year after adopting Zhu Rui, the old man who had been unable to conceive a child actually became pregnant.
Perhaps in response to the saying that adopting a child will bring blessings, the old man soon gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby girl. They named the daughter Zhu Xiang. Although they had their own biological daughter, the couple did not treat the picked-up child lightly and always raised them as their own flesh and blood.
The two little sisters have been very beautiful since childhood. Zhu Xiang's facial features are very soft, resembling the old man's appearance when he was young. Even her voice when speaking has a natural softness. This feeling gave her a sense of pity that no one else had, and always made people around her want to protect and understand her involuntarily. This feeling was exactly what Zhu Rui lacked.
Zhu Rui has had red lips, white teeth, and bright eyes since she was a child. She looks very smart. Her skin is as delicate as snow, and her long, black and shiny hair likes to be tied into a high ponytail. Her whole body is filled with a vibrant and youthful atmosphere. She has always been taller than her younger sister, and her figure has been better developed than other girls since she was a child. Her concave and convex beauty makes her stand out from the crowd, and it is very easy for ordinary girls to stand out.
But Zhu Xiang is not tall and has a soft and frail appearance, which always makes him particularly charming. Especially against that pale little face, she always seemed to be sick, lacking the vitality that a young person should have. If she were not sickly pale and tired, the soft and graceful Zhu Xiang would be as dazzling as her sister Zhu Rui in the crowd, and would be equally welcomed by the opposite sex.
Perhaps it is this completely different appearance that makes Zhu Xiang and Zhu Rui always have some things that they are not accustomed to each other, and they always have to compare themselves with each other in these aspects. For example, the girls' hair, although both girls are black, Zhu Xiang is far better than Zhu Rui in terms of hair volume and quality.
Therefore, no matter how Zhu Rui tosses his hair, Zhu Xiang's hair is always better than hers. There are also two people's academic performance. Zhu Xiang often calls in sick when she is in school. She is also very relaxed in studying at home, but her exam results are always the first. But Zhu Rui never asked for leave or missed work. He studied hard at home every day, and his final results were never as good as Zhu Xiang's.
Fortunately, for a child who grew up at home, after the quarrel, the relationship between the sisters was still very good. The photo the old man showed to Zhang Xianxian was a group photo of the two of them in the bedroom, sitting side by side and smiling like flowers.
As you can see from the photos, the room the two sisters live in together is not large. The walls are painted with simple white paint and the wood-colored floors are kept extremely clean. A small window faces south, letting in a lot of sunlight, which should make you feel very warm when you stay in the house. Two single wooden beds were placed on both sides of the wall near the door. The pink mattresses were neatly packed.
Opposite the bed is the window. There are two small white desks there. There are many things on the desks, which are neatly stored. In front of the wall next to the desk, there is a set of large white wardrobes. The style is very simple. It looks quite old and the overall furnishings are very ordinary.
However, there are many colorful little objects in the house that look warm.
For example, the yellow iron table lamp on the desk, the red wooden seats and cushions, the starry pink curtains, the cute little dolls of various colors, the vibrant little green plants on the windowsill, the warm colors Storage boxes, etc., these small details reflect the occupants’ love and intention for life.
"Auntie, these little things the sisters put up are so cute!"
"These are Ruirui's things. She likes these gadgets. Look at the books on the table. Those are auspicious objects. Their personalities are very different!"
At this point, the old man sighed and explained that Zhu Xiang has been a beautiful, smart and lovable existence since she was very young. As she grows older, she has successfully fulfilled all the necessary choices in life that are valued by the world. Put a check mark. Including those difficult teacher-student relationships and superior-subordinate relationships when she grew up, she never let her parents worry about them, and she could handle them just right.
If we say that Zhu Xiang's only regret and shortcoming is his emotional failure. When it comes to treating the opposite sex, she is never as lovable as Zhu Rui, and she has been unable to submit the perfect test paper for marriage. That's why Zhu Xiang is so obsessed with the boyfriend who finally fell in love with him.
After the old man said this, he left Chuanhe Housekeeping Service Company. However, the more Zhang Xianxian looked at the photo, the more he felt that there was something wrong behind it. She forgot to ask the old man a very important question, that is: "Where did your crazy daughter Zhu Rui go?"
