Duan Rumeng has had a nemesis since she was a child. The name of her nemesis is only one word different from hers. Her name is Duan Ruhuan. Duan Rumeng and Duan Ruhuan entered the orphanage on the same day. They were born on the same day in the same year, but they were born on the same month.
One month apart, Duan Rumeng is my sister.
Duan Rumeng is an obedient and smart child. He is tall, fair-skinned, and has delicate facial features. He is a little fairy in the eyes of the teachers. Duan Rumeng is a lively and active child. He is short, dark-skinned, and has rough facial features.
A troublemaker in the eyes of teachers.
One of the things Duan Rumeng did most before going to school was to change quilts with Duan Rumeng. Duan Rumeng stopped wetting the bed when she was very young, but Duan Rumeng still wet the bed when she was five or six years old. People who wet the bed in the orphanage would be spanked.
Whenever Duan Ruhuan peed the bed, she would deliberately stay last when she got up in the morning. After everyone in the room left, she would exchange her quilt and mattress with Duan Rumeng's.
When the teachers checked the bed and found that Duan Rumeng had wet the bed, they would make her stand up during breakfast and spank her in front of everyone. At this time, Duan Rumeng would often tilt her head and use her squint
Looking at Duan Rumeng and smiling.
Of course Duan Rumeng will not spare her. She is taller than Duan Rumeng and stronger than her, so she won't suffer at all in a fight. But because Duan Rumeng is smaller, she is smarter than Duan Rumeng, and Duan Rumeng
It was not easy to catch her. Whenever Duan Rumeng chased Duan Ruhuan and ran all over the yard, Duan Ruhuan would run into the dean's office out of breath. Duan Rumeng would inevitably be scolded and corporally punished at this time.
One time while having breakfast, Duan Ruhuan found a dead fly on the ground. She picked it up quietly, sneaked behind Duan Rumeng, and threw the dead fly into Duan Rumeng's bowl.
A big war broke out in an instant. The restaurant was small and Duan Ruhuan had nowhere to escape and hide. Not only did they beat themselves to death, but they also made the restaurant a mess. In order to punish them, the dean
, locked them in a room alone and starved them for a day.
After going to school, they both became the target of discrimination at school. Children who came from the orphanage and had no mother or father had no one to play with. The common ground between the two of them was that they were discriminated against.
Their relationship has improved to some extent, but it is only on the surface. They have never regarded each other as friends.
Duan Rumeng listened carefully in class and did her homework seriously after school. She had good academic performance and ranked first in every subject. Duan Rumeng deserted in class and did not do homework after school. She played with a bunch of boys all day long.
He ranked last in every subject.
Later, as they grew older, they each made their own friends, and each had their own good classmates. There were no longer frequent conflicts between the two. However, the relationship between them was never good, and Duan Ruhuan was against Duan.
Rumeng is always full of deep hostility.
When she was young, Duan Rumeng didn't know why Duan Ruhuan always made trouble for her. It wasn't until she went to school that she saw deep jealousy in Duan Ruhuan's eyes.
When they were fifteen years old, when they were about to graduate from junior high school, something happened that completely tied their fate together.
As soon as they got up that morning, they were called to the dean's office. The dean glanced at them and told them that they didn't have to go to school today. He also called a female teacher and led them to take a bath and change into clothes.
I put on clean clothes and sat in the reception room waiting.
Duan Rumeng was obviously not used to such a quiet environment. She kept moving on the chair and changing her sitting postures. Later, she couldn't bear it anymore and said to Duan Rumeng:
"Hey, do you know why we are asked to sit here?"
Duan Rumeng has experienced this situation once before. When she was still young, a young couple came to the orphanage to adopt a child. The experience was the same as this time.
"Same treatment as last time, maybe someone wants to adopt us." Duan Rumeng replied.
"Ah, I don't want to be adopted."
"I don't want to either."
"I heard that adopted children were often beaten and mistreated in other families."
"Parents who are not your biological parents are always different."
"Do you miss your parents?"
"Think about it, I dream about it every day."
"When I dream, I always want to see clearly what they look like, but I can't see clearly."
"I can't see clearly either."
"So how did you adopt me last time?"
"They asked me questions, but I didn't answer a word. Then they didn't want me anymore."
"Okay, I won't say a word for a while."
"I won't tell either."
This brief conversation was their first good conversation in fifteen years.
The dean led a middle-aged man in. The man was about forty years old, short, fat, with a big belly. The top of his head had begun to shine, and his facial features were very scattered on his face. This man's
The faces looked familiar to both girls, but they couldn't remember where they had seen them before.
"Come on, Mr. Duan, let me introduce you. These two are the two daughters you sent back then, Duan Rumeng and Duan Ruhuan." The dean said, looking at the two sisters with a smile on his face.
Duan Rumeng and Duan Ruhuan didn't understand what the dean was saying, and stared blankly at the dean and the greasy uncle in front of them. When the greasy uncle saw the two sisters, his eyes almost shone. He
He excitedly walked up to the two sisters, stretched out his two fat hands and touched their heads.
"Oh, I can't believe that you two have grown so big."
"Yes, fifteen years have passed in a flash. Ru Meng, Ru Huan, please call daddy." The dean stood aside and rubbed his hands and said something that shocked the two sisters.
Dad? I actually have a father? After staying in the orphanage for fifteen years, a father suddenly appeared. The two sisters were completely confused. They looked at each other with their eyes. This was the first time they stared at each other. The one in front of them was the same as themselves.
The person whose name differs by only one character turns out to be the same father as him.
"Yes, I am your biological father." Duan Qing put his hands on the shoulders of the two sisters.
Duan Rumeng pushed Duan Qing's hand away first, and Duan Rumeng also pushed Duan Qing's hand away.
"Hey, Mr. Duan, please sit down first. Don't be impatient. The child needs to go through a process of acceptance. Take your time." The dean hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over.
"That's right, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. Oops, the children have suffered in the past ten years. I am not qualified as a father!" Duan Qing sat on the chair opposite the sisters and kept reviewing.
"Like a dream, like an illusion, let me explain it to you." The dean sat next to Duan Qing and explained to the two sisters;
"After your mother gave birth to you, due to some special reasons, they were unable to raise you, so your father sent you here. Now, your father's conditions are better and he plans to take you home to live there.
.From now on, you will no longer be orphans."
"That's right, you will no longer be orphans in the future." Duan Qing said.
"How is it? Do you two agree?" the dean asked.
At this time, the sisters finally understood a little bit. The man in front of them was their father. Now he was going to take them home. In the future, they would no longer be orphans, but would have a father. The sisters visited the hospital.
The leader looked at Duan Qing, then looked at each other, both lowered their heads and said nothing.
"Speak, children, are you willing?" the dean urged.
The two children exchanged glances again, deciding that Duan Rumeng would speak first. Later, Duan Rumeng recalled that this was the only time the two sisters reached a tacit understanding with their eyes.
"Where is our mother?" Duan Rumeng said this calmly.
"Ah, mother, your mothers, they, they left after giving birth to you." Duan Qing replied stutteringly.
"Isn't our mother the same person?"
"No, it's not the same person. Your mothers are two very good sisters."
"Where are they now?"
"I don't know, I don't know, and then I couldn't find them."
"Ask mom to pick us up." Duan Rumeng said.
"Yes, ask mom to pick us up, otherwise we won't leave," Duan Ruhuan said.
The conversation that morning ended unhappily, and they did not go to school. Instead, they returned to the dormitory and sat on their beds, thinking silently.
"Do you think he is really our father?" Duan Ruhuan asked.
"You look very similar to him." Duan Rumeng finally understood why this man looked familiar.
"No, he and I are not alike. He is so ugly."
"When I came out just now, I heard them whispering that they were going to do some appraisal for us in the afternoon."
"What identification?"
"have no idea."
"Will you go with him?" Duan Ruhuan asked.
"have no idea."
"Do you think he is very rich? I saw him driving here. I think that car is quite high-end."
"have no idea."
"Why do you think he came to us at this time?"
"how could I know."
"Why is our mother not the same person, but our father is the same person?"
"We are half-mother."
"Oh, just like in the TV series, a man has two wives."
"Yes, he is definitely not a good person."
"Well, how can a good man have two wives?"
"Did our mother ask him to beat him away?"
"Yes, there was a TV show where the man beat his wife away."
"There is also a TV series where a man kills a woman."
"Ah, no, it's too scary. Do you think he will kill us too?"
"How do I know?"
The two talked for a while, and the more they talked, the more terrible they became, and then they fell silent again. After a long while, Duan Ruhuan asked:
"Do you want a dad?"
"think."
After Duan Rumeng said this word, tears flowed out of her eyes. She couldn't help sobbing quietly. Duan Rumeng also whimpered under her influence. Two fifteen-year-olds
Girls who grew up in orphanages without a mother or father suddenly had a father. This reality made them feel that their old world was gradually collapsing, and a new world was approaching far away.
Duan Qing came to the orphanage again that afternoon. He also brought an aunt in a white coat, who drew blood for the two sisters. Duan Qing bought them new clothes and a big bag of delicious food. Rumeng didn't want it.
