Every month thereafter, my father would carry a load of vegetables harvested from the fields to the orphanage and take the opportunity to visit his two daughters.
The food provided by the orphanage was rationed. Even though they saw the difference between the two sisters, they would only add a little bit at most and would not let them eat their fill.
Lu Ying cried out in hunger, but the nanny could only pretend not to hear. How could she comfort every child by herself? Besides, Lu Ying cried out because she was hungry. She would probably stop crying if she ran out of energy.
The father secretly gave them some vegetables that could be eaten raw, but it was just a drop in the bucket!
The two daughters were getting thinner and thinner, and their father was very distressed. However, his elderly mother at home would not allow him to take the children back.
After two years of this, Lu Ying was three years old. Her mother passed away. After finishing her business, her father couldn't bear to see his daughter look so thin, so he said he wanted to adopt the two children. The orphanage was more than happy to do so, and the adoption procedures were completed quickly. Lu Jing and Lu Ying returned home again.
Their parents were willing to feed them, even if it was just water, they would let them drink their fill.
Five-year-old Lu Jing has already understood that these are her biological parents. She also knows that she eats a lot and that her parents have a hard time, so she works hard to help with housework.
This help showed their great strength, and their father was very happy, and was even more willing to give the food to the two sisters.
Lu Jing followed her father to help work in the fields. Because she was short, she couldn't lift the hoe, so she asked her father to saw the wooden handle of the hoe shorter.
With the help of the strong eldest daughter, the crops harvested were more than others. The father was very happy and was more willing to give the crops to his daughter.
When Lu Ying was five years old, she had the short-handled hoe in her hands. The two sisters took on all the heavy work in the fields, and their father only had to do the technical work.
The crops were planted well and the harvest was abundant. The two sisters ate more, became stronger, and grew taller. The crops in the fields also grew better, and this virtuous cycle lasted for several years.
When Lu Jing was twelve years old, her mother finally became pregnant again. More than nine months later, she gave birth to a younger brother with a normal appetite.
The father has not changed, he is still a father who loves his daughter, but the mother has changed. She began to dislike her daughter for eating too much and not knowing how to give in to her younger brother. Whenever the father says a few words, the mother starts to make a fuss.
Lu Jing, who was already thirteen years old, asked her father to find a way to send them away. Her father disagreed. They were not children anymore. Who would be willing to adopt such a grown-up girl?
Lu Jing persuaded her father to take the two sisters to the city to see if there was always a way out.
Looking at the determined look in his eldest daughter's eyes, the father agreed to take them to the city. If there was no hope, they should not have this idea again next time.
Lu Jing naturally agreed and secretly persuaded her sister. The two of them packed some simple clothes and said goodbye to their mother.
Seeing the smile on her mother's face, Lu Jing became more determined in her thoughts.
The prosperity of the city also made Lu Jing feel that she was not wrong. While her father was asking others, she took her sister and ran away.
The city is prosperous, but it is not something that two sisters with only strength but no experience can survive in.
When looking for a job, they said they don't hire child laborers. I asked them to do odd jobs and occasionally take on some work, but the boss said they ate too much and their wages were gone.
Begging and claiming to be occupying someone else's territory.
When they were extremely hungry, the two sisters would rob food from the restaurant owners and rummage through the manure buckets in the alley behind the restaurant.
After hanging around for a while, I gained some experience and would often wait in the back alley with a broken bowl, or intercept one or two customers who looked wealthy and beg for money.
They lived like this for four years. One day, when they were fighting with a group of beggars, they were stopped by a soldier who took them to dinner.
The two of them ate five bowls of noodles each before putting down their chopsticks. That was the first time since they were born that they knew what it meant to be full.
The soldier uncle kept looking at them with a smile. After they put down their bowls and chopsticks, he asked them about their experiences. When he learned that they were only 17 and 15 years old, he asked them if they wanted to go with him to the army, where they could have enough food.
Having a full meal was the biggest temptation, so the two naturally agreed.
After being in the team for more than a year, the two grew very fast in height and weight, and all kinds of training were not difficult for them.
This military uncle valued talents and insisted on recommending them to the special team.
After only one year in the special team, they got the highest scores in all kinds of training. However, the captain frowned and said that they could not be sent out on missions because of their special appearance. He asked them to retire quickly. After retirement, there would be a bodyguard company willing to recruit them.
The two of them didn't believe it. They had finally got food, shelter and clothes, but they were unwilling to believe this stern-faced captain.
A few days later, the black-faced captain came with a group of people and showed them the business license and permit of the bodyguard company. Only then were they willing to retire. In fact, they had been in the special team for a year. How could they not know that the captain disliked their big appetite?
The captain issued them a certificate extremely quickly and asked them to follow the visitor directly to the bodyguard company in Beijing. They forced them to memorize the company's employee code of conduct and the information of the boss and his sister-in-law before telling them that they would be his sister-in-law's bodyguards.
Unexpectedly, the sisters had gone through such a tortuous journey. Zhou Xiang stood up and patted the sisters on the shoulders. "Knowing your experiences, I also understand your personalities. From now on, follow your sister-in-law and make sure you have three full meals. If you don't have enough to eat, go to the kitchen and cook noodles or heat up steamed buns. In short, don't starve yourself."
Lv Jing and Lv Ying smiled and nodded, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"You're welcome," Zhou Xiang waved his hand. "So, after you got out, you never went back home?"
"Yes."
"If you have a chance, go back and show it to your father so that he can rest assured."
"good!"
