A curtain of dream

Chapter 1 There is a banquet at home tonight

When I walked into Zi Ling's room, she was staring at her entire beaded curtain in a daze.

Zi Ling, the most beloved child in our family since she was a child, she likes bead curtains, so at her begging, my father found out about the manufacturer of bead curtains from Uncle Fei Yunzhou, and specially made them for her In addition to this crystal texture, bead curtains with different particle sizes and shapes.

I glanced at the beaded curtain, and said to Ziling: It’s not a cafe, whose bedroom uses beads as curtains?Only you, always come up with some strange tricks.

She turned her head, her big eyes were full of disapproval, and she said to me in a sneering tone: You don’t understand that, bead curtains are something that has existed in China since ancient times, you will know if you read more poems.

I smiled and said: Oh, yes, who doesn't know that our second Miss Wang is an expert in poetry.

Ziling sighed dejectedly, and said: Forget it, I haven't figured out the tricks of poetry yet, so I'm called an expert, I'm not that shy!She raised her chin and said eloquently: Poetry expert?Don't be too sarcastic. Few of our family's relatives and friends know me as an expert in poetry, but they all know that our family has a talented girl who went straight to T university and a stupid girl who couldn't get into college.

I touched her newly permed short messy hair, and said: Okay, are you still angry because your mother scolded you for failing to pass the college entrance examination?

She snorted softly, turned her head away, stared at the bead curtain again, and said softly: No, I don't care!

I pulled up a chair and sat down, looking at the beaded curtain. To be honest, I really don’t have the idleness of Ziling. As the head of the family, I assume the responsibility of shining the family, so that my mother and father I can smile brightly in front of my friends and relatives, and be proud of my children, so that Ziling can grow up carefree. I gave up childhood play and the right of girls to dream for the sake of learning. I hope Ziling can have more space and time to do what she loves to do, instead of being stared at by her mother's earnest eyes, facing endless learning, learning, or learning.I sighed, but this time, my mother really went too far. How could Zi Ling's delicate mind withstand her mother's harsh scolding.I turned my head and looked at her profile, she was staring at her bead curtain without blinking.

Luping, look, these bead curtains look like raindrops, drop by drop, don't you think it is very beautiful and emotional?Zi Ling suddenly asked.

I looked at the bead curtain. Under the light, the bead curtain was shining brightly. I looked at it seriously, and remembered a sentence I read before: the rain outside the curtain is murmuring.

When I was about to speak, Ziling suddenly glanced at me, smiled, and said proudly: "You don't speak, and I know, you can't see the sentiment, and you don't think it's beautiful, right?"

I smiled gently: Look carefully, it is indeed beautiful and very emotional.

Got it.Zi Ling sighed and said: You are always like this...

I stood up and said, "The banquet at home is about to start, so hurry up and dress up!"Many people came to the house today!Chu Lian and Chu Yi are here, don't you come down?You can't do without the banquet!

Ziling glanced at me lazily, and said: Forget it, I can do without you, but I can’t do without you, today’s banquet is for you, sister!

I shook my head and smiled: Nonsense, it was done for me alone, come down quickly, don't talk nonsense!

She waved her hand with an impatient face, ignored me, and stared at her beaded curtain in a daze.

I backed out of her room and sighed involuntarily. Sometimes, I really want to be like Ziling, and don’t care about anything. Hehe, I’m so carefree, I just need to be in a daze, I just need to be her " I can live as a dreamer, and this kind of life really makes me yearn for it.

Dad came up, looked at me, looked at Ziling's door behind me, and raised his eyebrows.

I said: She is admiring the bead curtain.

Dad smiled knowingly, and said: "It's okay, don't worry, this child is just playing with a child's temper. After a while, when the banquet starts, I think her little greedy cat will come out to look for food if she is hungry."

dad.

I stopped my father who was going to their room, and followed him. He turned around and looked at me, asking: What is it?

I hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: Maybe, mother’s education method is too strict and harsh for Ziling, but we pamper her like this, let her waste time to dream and not care about worldly affairs, really. Is that right again?

Dad was taken aback, looked at me, then smiled and said: Don't worry, she is still young and will grow up, anyway, there is already a child like you who makes me proud at home, she just needs to be happy, isn't it?

I lowered my eyes, nodded, and said: Well, I see.

He patted me on the shoulder lovingly and said: Lu Ping, come, help Dad choose the clothes for the banquet tonight, your vision is always the best.

I nodded and followed Dad into the room.

The banquet starts promptly at 7 o'clock.

Today's banquet, because of the large number of people, after discussing with my parents, I called a restaurant to provide buffet service. Two long buffet tables were placed in the garden of my home, and the restaurant provided waiter service. Therefore, our family Uncles, aunts, and father's business partners all ate in the garden, chatting and laughing in twos and threes, with fragrant clothes and glasses of wine intertwined, just like a small business social gathering.

The living room is a paradise for my friends. Young people gather together without too many elders staring at them. Naturally, they have a good time. The music is played very loudly. Tao Jianbo is playing with his guitar, and Chu Lianchu Yi laughed and chatted, her expression was so rich that it made people laugh.

I was wearing a light yellow suspender silk dress specially prepared for me by my mother. When I walked down the stairs, Tao Jianbo's eyes lit up and he shouted: "Wang Luping, why did you hide until now?"

I laughed and said: Didn't I come down?

I walked up to them, Chu Yi smiled and said: Sister Luping, you are so beautiful today, brother, don't you think so?

I looked at Chu Lian, he looked at me with admiration in his eyes, nodded and said: Lu Ping, you are so beautiful today!

I laughed, Chu Lian, my childhood playmate, the Chu family and the Wang family have been good friends for many years, Zi Ling, I and Chu Lian and Chu Yi have been playing together since we were young, and we have always had a very good relationship. Chu Lian has a bright smile on his young and beautiful face. He has a pair of black eyes and healthy brown skin.

He raised his eyebrows and asked: Where is that wild girl?Why didn't you see her?

I smiled helplessly and said: She, she is still upstairs, maybe she will come down in a while!

Chu Lian nodded.

Tao Jianbo came over and asked: Luping, what do you want to eat?I'll get it for you!

Chu Yi immediately said: Take whatever you want, even if you want to take it, I have to go get it, brother, go and help Sister Luping get food, she likes to eat, but don't leave anything behind!She procrastinated the last word ah, like a singer in a Beijing opera, which made us all laugh.

Chu Lian looked at her sister tenderly, smiled, then looked at me and said: "I'll get it for you!"

I nodded, followed his back, walked from the living room to the garden, and walked a few steps in the direction of the garden involuntarily. Then, I saw a man, not very young, standing on the terrace of my house, smoking a cigarette alone, posing Drinking a glass of red wine, my gaze wandered in the garden, as if he didn’t belong here, that gaze, somehow, stung my eyes, because of his loneliness?Or the vicissitudes hidden in those eyes?

Sister Luping, what major do you plan to study abroad?I heard that because you were invited to enroll, you can choose your major as you like!Chu Yi's question pulled back my thoughts and eyes, I turned around, walked to the sofa and sat down, looked at Chu Yi with a smile, and said: "Guess!"

She scratched her head and said embarrassedly: I guess, it should be about economic management, right?

I smiled. It is not difficult to guess the major I chose. I think my dear mother has already publicized my deeds. The relatives and friends in our family should have guessed the major I chose. Even if the mother doesn't say it.I concealed a trace of gloom in my heart. In fact, I like painting and have always hoped to go to an art school. It’s just that my family’s situation does not allow me to be self-willed. Dad’s company and business need successors, and Zi and I The life Ling enjoys is given by her parents. What I can do is to grow up, take over my father's company, and let the two of them enjoy life well.
