A few days later, she sat at her desk in her office, staring at a photo that a client had left for herself. The photo above is two very beautiful girls, their names are Zhu Xiang and Zhu Rui, and they are a pair of half-sisters.

Just now, Zhu Xiang's elderly mother came to Chuanhe Housekeeping Service Company to thank Zhang Xianxian for the urn drawn by her daughter. The emaciated old man told her that he had dreamed of his dead daughter last night, and that she thanked her for helping her fulfill her last wish. It was this unexpected thank you that let Zhang Xianxian know that Zhu Rui, the madwoman who sent him a big red wooden coffin before, was actually the adopted daughter of the old man and the sister with whom Zhu Xiang grew up.

The old man saw that she was about the same age as her daughter, so he handed her a photo of her daughters, and talked to her about Zhu Xiang and Zhu Rui. The old man and his wife are teachers in a local elementary school, the old man teaches Chinese and his lover teaches mathematics, they have been married for many years and have a good relationship but have no children, which is the biggest regret of the two at that time.

One winter, the temperature in the city was particularly low, with heavy snow falling for several days. Later, in the middle of the night, the sleeping couple was suddenly woken up by the cry of a baby. At first, they thought it was a nearby child who was disturbing and didn't pay much attention, but later, the voice continued to cry, and the two of them realized that something was wrong.

In case of trouble, the couple hurriedly got up and opened the door to search, and found that the source of the sound was outside the door of their yard.

When they opened the door, they saw an abandoned baby girl on the cold stone steps of the door. The little baby girl wore a pink velvet hat, her big black eyes were full of tears, her little nose and face were red from the cold, and her grinning voice was obviously hoarse.

The blanket that wrapped her looked very thin and cheap, and the old man hurriedly picked up the child, only to find that there was a note begging for adoption in the thin blanket. The handwriting on the note is clumsy and scribbled, to the effect that the parents can't raise the child when they are in trouble, and they ask a well-wisher to adopt it, and they will never recognize each other in the future.

Perhaps the parents of the little girl were afraid that the adopter would not believe in them, so they pressed a big bloody handprint on the four words "never recognize each other". Seeing this scene, the two who had no children, after checking that there was no one around, hurriedly brought the little baby girl who was about to freeze to death home.

They were all kind people, thinking that the heavy snow had a child that day, they felt that this was an auspicious gift from heaven to themselves, so they named the little baby girl Zhu Rui. Unexpectedly, in the second year after adopting Zhu Rui, the old man who had never been able to conceive a child actually became pregnant.

Perhaps in response to the saying that adopting a child will bring good fortune, the old man soon gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby girl, and they named this daughter Zhu Xiang. Although they have their own biological daughters, the couple does not treat the children they picked up a little slowly, and always regard them as their own flesh and blood.

The two little sisters have been very beautiful since they were children, Zhu Xiang's facial features are very soft, like the appearance of an old man when he was young, and even her voice when she speaks has a natural weakness. This feeling makes her have a sense of pity that others don't have, and always makes the people around her involuntarily want to protect and understand her, which is exactly what Zhu Rui lacks.

Zhu Rui has been red lips and white eyes since she was a child, and the whole person looks very smart, her skin is as delicate as snow, her long black and bright hair likes to tie it into a high ponytail, and she is full of vigorous youth. She's taller than her sister all the time, and she's been better than other girls since she was a child.

And Zhu Xiang is not tall, soft and weak, and he is always very small. Especially against the backdrop of that pale little face, it always seems that she is sick, lacking a kind of vitality that a young man should have. If there is no sickly pale and tired, the soft Zhu Xiang will be as bright as his sister Zhu Rui in the crowd, and he will be as popular as the opposite sex.

Perhaps it is this completely different appearance that makes Zhu Xiang and Zhu Rui always have some places that they are not used to looking at each other, and they always have to compare themselves with each other in these places. For example, the hair on the girl's body, although the two little girls are black, but in terms of hair volume and hair quality, Zhu Xiang is far better than Zhu Rui.

Therefore, no matter how Zhu Rui tosses his hair, Zhu Xiang's hair is always stronger than hers. There are also two people's academic performance, Zhu Xiang often takes sick leave when she goes to school, and her study at home is also very relaxed, but the results of each exam are the first. But Zhu Rui never asked for leave and was absent from work, and every day at home he was studying with his head hanging beam, and the final result was always inferior to Zhu Xiang.

Fortunately, for a child who grew up in a family, after the quarrel, the relationship between the sisters is still very good. The photo that the old man showed Zhang Xianxian was a group photo of the two of them in the bedroom, and the two of them sat side by side and smiled like flowers.

As you can see from the photos, the room where the sisters live together is not large, the walls are painted with simple white paint, and the floors are made of wood, which is kept very clean. The small window faces south, so you can let in a lot of sunlight, and you should feel warm when you stay inside. Two single wooden beds, one on either side of the wall near the doorway, and the pink mattress is very neatly tied.

Directly opposite the bed was the window, where there were two small white desks, on which there were a lot of things, and they were well organized. Immediately in front of the wall of the desk, there is a group 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 small objects in the house, which look warm.

For example, the yellow iron lamp on the desk, the red wooden chair and cushions, the starry pink curtains, the cute dolls of all shapes, the vibrant little greenery on the windowsill, the warm-colored storage box, etc., these small details reflect the love and dedication of the occupants.

"Auntie, these little things that the sisters put on the table are so cute!"

"It's all Rarity's stuff, she loves the gadgets, you look at the books on the table, those are auspicious things, and their personalities are very different!"

Speaking of this, the old man sighed and explained that since he was very young, Zhu Xiang was a beautiful, smart and likable existence, and as she grew older, she successfully ticked the box for the life that the world valued. Including when she grew up, she never let her parents worry about the difficult teacher-student relationship and the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and she could handle it just right.

If there is one regret and deficiency for Zhu Xiang, it is an emotional failure. In terms of treating the opposite sex, she will never be as likable as Zhu Rui, and she will not be able to hand in the perfect test paper for marriage. Therefore, Zhu Xiang can't let go of his boyfriend who finally fell in love.

After the old man said this, he left the Chuanhe housekeeping service company, but the more Zhang Xianxian looked at the photo, the more he felt that there was a problem behind it. She forgot to ask the old man a very important question, that is, "Where has your crazy daughter Zhu Rui gone?" ”
