Before long later, old ox sang the Qinhuai folk song that an enforced meander handed down from generation to generation. 几倍下肚之后,老牛就夹了一颗花生米放在口中嚼着,眯着眼睛,一脸琢磨。不一会儿之后,老牛就唱起了一曲流传下来的秦淮小调。 The children do not understand what is heard, without the interest, quarrelled must watch the television. Again big does not dare to make the sound , the feeling is sad. 小孩子听不明白,没有兴趣,吵着要看电视。再大一些的就不敢作声了,却也感觉沉闷。 Luo Shan listened to listen to the eye socket to be red, because his wife must first be redder than the eye him. 洛山听着听着眼眶就红了,因为他老婆比他要先红了眼睛。 Luo Shan big brother, is Grandma Xiaochun eldest son takes small wine glass, white liquor of money is carrying like this, is thinks that very slightly very when young, in the village came the team of performing. 洛山的大哥,也就是小春奶奶的大儿子拿着个小酒杯,一钱的白酒就这样拎着,是想起来了很小很小的时候,村子里来了唱戏的班子。 Mostly such as is, plunges the age in memories. 大多如是,浸入年岁的回忆里面。 Only has Grandma Xiaochun to hug slightly slightly, is about a two -year-old little granddaughter, is patting child's back gently, was pastes on the small granddaughter's glowing red cheek the face. 唯有小春奶奶抱着最小最小,不过两岁的一个小孙女,轻轻地拍着孩子的背后,是不是地把脸贴到了小孙女红彤彤的脸蛋上。 This after all is the youngest child, early fell asleep. 这毕竟是最小的孩子,老早就睡着了。 Grandma Xiaochun narrowed the eyes to focus to smile, probably was saying, this child may be clever. 小春奶奶眯着眼笑了起来,像是在说,这孩子可乖了。 I answer a telephone.” “我接个电话。” Luo Shān picked up the phone to say by own mother suddenly gently, then stood, while pointed at telephone in the hand to get out of the way. 洛珊忽然拿起了电话在自己母亲旁边轻轻说了一句,便一边站起来,一边指着自己手中的电话走开。 She just went out, could not bear cover own mouth, ran all of a sudden threshing ground outside room, a person squatted here. 只是她才刚刚出门,就忍不住捂住了自己的嘴巴,一下子就跑出了屋子外的场圃处,一个人蹲在了这里。 But she realizes herself unable like this, therefore quick is wiping own eye carelessly, stood, saw some people to sit in the threshing ground small short fence long time ago. 但她意识到自己不能这样,所以很快就胡乱地抹着自己的眼睛,站了起来,才看见有人早早就坐在了场圃边的小矮围墙上。 When...... 什么时候…… Luo Shān responded, as if from starting to eat meal shortly, Luo Qiu did not see...... did not see at the same time from the line of sight of people unknowingly, probably also no one noticed this point. 洛珊才反应过来,似乎从开始吃饭没多久,洛邱就不知不觉地从众人的视线当中不见……不见的同时,好像也没有谁注意到了这一点。 What do you make here?” Luo Shān approaches, is speaking the nasal sound very heavy words. “你在这里做什么?”洛珊靠近,说着鼻音很重的话。 Luo Qiu looked at Luo Shān one, pulled out one package of napkin from the clothes, delivered. A Luo Shān irritability, knows that was just seen probably. 洛邱看了洛珊一眼,从衣服之中掏出了一包纸巾,送了出来。洛珊一阵的别扭,知道刚刚的一幕大概是被看见了。 Scratches, cannot this appearance go back again, thinking, her was receiving napkin. 还是擦擦吧,总不能这个样子再回去,想着,她就接过了纸巾 Luo Qiu looks at Luo Shān to say suddenly, I am photographing.” 洛邱忽然看着洛珊说,“我在拍照。” Luo Shān then noticed in the Luo Qiu's bosom, there is an appearance quite antique rank, the camera of golden outer covering. Does Luo Qiu this little while walked, „need a look?” 洛珊这才注意到了在洛邱的怀中,有一台模样颇为古董级别,金色外壳的相机。洛邱这会儿走了下来,“要看看吗?” Before the lens, is exuding the yellow picture of discoloration, before the gate of room. Luo Shān does not understand the camera, actually feeling this camera at least will not be any entry-level and so on thing. 镜头前,泛着褪了色的黄色般的画面,正对着屋子的门前。洛珊不懂得相机,却感觉这台相机至少不会是什么入门级之类的东西。 I...... can I pat one?” “我……我能拍一张吗?” Sure.” “当然可以。” How and how to use?” “怎、怎么用的?” Boss Luo smiles, is directing the method of Luo Shān use. 洛老板笑了笑,便指点着洛珊使用的方法。 Before Luo Shān approached some, took in which the full house in living room quietly, unknowingly, on the feeling face has to fall icy coldly. 洛珊靠近了一些门前,悄悄地把客厅的满堂都摄入了其中,不知不觉,就感觉脸上有冰凉滑落下来。 You...... you turn around.” “你……你转过身去。” Luo Qiu nods, at the same time of turning around, then felt that on the shoulder had the slight pressure, that was Luo Shān is away from own palm to rest the head on both eyes in this. 洛邱点了点头,转过身去的同时,便感觉到了肩膀上有了轻微的压力,那是洛珊隔着了自己的手掌枕着自己双眼在此。 My parents have worked outside, since childhood I am the paternal grandmother look to grow up.” “我爸妈一直都在外边打工,从小我就是奶奶看着长大的。” You think, making Grandma Xiaochun accompany you.” “你想,让小春奶奶一直陪着你吗。” Who isn't willing to accompany itself by own family member?” Luo Shān sobs to ask back lightly, then interrogated: But the life and death is variable, naturally alternates, what also means there is? I in the hospital family member who sees many patients, facing this situation, does not have the means. When we do not have the means save a person, can only let the nature his thorough carry away, in the face of the death, we were the weakest person.” “有谁不愿意让自己的亲人能够一直陪着自己?”洛珊轻泣反问,然后质问:“可是生死无常,自然更迭,又有什么办法?我在医院看见不少病人的家属,面对这种情况,更加没有办法。当我们没有办法救一个人的时候,就只能够让自然把他彻底带走,在死亡面前,我们才是最无力的人。” „The rationality of doctor.” Luo Qiu said in a soft voice. “医生的理性。”洛邱轻声道。 Has...... boss in the heart to think luckily ideally silently. 幸好有着理想……老板心中默默想到。 Your what meaning? Is saying my cold blood?” “你什么意思?是在说我冷血吗?” No.” Luo Qiu shakes the head, I felt, Grandma Xiaochun can have your such descendant, really good.” “不。”洛邱摇摇头,“我只是感觉,小春奶奶能有你这样的后代,真好。” Has well what......” Luo Shān said spookily: Can have anything to be good.” “有什么好的……”洛珊幽幽道:“能有什么好的。” This village......” Luo Qiu said indifferently: Besides Luo Zheng, I sees your one is young. Although also bumps into other today, but was also said. The hospital in town/subdues goes to work, the road is very long, is difficult to walk, isn't that so?” “这村子……”洛邱淡然道:“除了洛正之外,我就看见你一个是年轻的了。虽然今天也碰到其他,不过也是被叫回来的吧。在镇上的医院上班,路很长,也不好走,不是吗?” I do not know that you said anything.” “我不知道你说什么。” Luo Qiu supple sound said: Daytime time felt that the row of new house in village road opposite side seems like, very lively appearance. But at night. You looked, does not have many to turn on a light, the old room with here could not miss many.” 洛邱柔声道:“白天的时候感觉在村公路对边的这一排的新房子看起来,很繁华的样子。可是到了晚上。你看,也是没多少亮灯的,和这边的老屋也差不了多少。” That is natural, these new rooms, are the policy get down, because there is a subsidy, every household opened built.” “那是当然,这些新屋,都是政策下来,因为有补贴,每家每户才开始建的。” Luo Shān with rubbing one group of napkin wiped under the eye, with looking at the front, has the condition, has moved to the town/subdues. Does not have the condition, or is capable of wanting the wanderer, mostly also works outside, one year does not come back many times. Remaining, seems like Uncle Luo Shan such, but also persists in farming, but are not many. Therefore, emptying isn't being very normal?” 洛珊用揉成了一团的纸巾抹了下眼睛,同看着前方,“有条件的,早就搬到镇上住了。没条件的,或者有能力想要闯荡的,大多也在外头打工,一年也回不来多少次。剩下的,也就一些像是洛山叔那样,还坚持种地的,但也不多。所以,空着不是很正常吗?” Why do you stay in this town? I listen to Luo Zheng to raise some, said that you resigned very good hospital to meet the hospital on town/subdues.” “那你为什么留在这镇子上?我听洛正提过一些,说你是辞掉了很好的医院才会镇上的医院。” Luo Shān felt that some cool feeling, both hands were hugging, shakes the head: Where doctor can work as, work same......, but here, was too lonely.” 洛珊感觉到了一些凉意,双手抱着,摇摇头:“医生在哪里都能当,工作都一样……可是这里,太冷清了。” That side village road, only then three two households of 2-3 lamps are shining, the sounds of people are few, indistinctly what hears is only the television makes the sound that the child occasionally with a smile or is crying, is truly lonely. 村公路那边,只有三家两户的2-3盏灯亮着,人声很少,隐约听到的只是电视机发出的声音,小孩子偶尔笑着或哭着,确实冷清。 Laughable?” Luo Shān sighed, raise one's head looks at the night of thorough gloomy, did not say each with generations of offspring filling the house, but also had the close family member, originally should enjoy old age in peace, instead all year round could not see many times. Such development, does not know, is good or is not good.” “可笑吧?”洛珊叹了口气,抬头看着彻底暗淡下来的夜晚,“不说每一个都儿孙满堂,但也是有至亲亲人,本来应该安享晚年,反而一年到头也见不了多少次。这样的开发,也不知道,到底是好还是不好。” Time was up , helping?” Luo Qiu asked suddenly. “时间差不多了,来帮个忙可以吗?”洛邱忽然问道。 ...... …… That is the Luo Qiu's old house, the place is the kitchen, the steam of curling is emitting from the big iron saucepan of top, full Shi filled delicate fragrance, and sweet flavor. 那是洛邱的老房子,地点是厨房,袅袅的水蒸气正从灶台的大铁锅之中冒出,满室都充满了一股清香且甜的味道。 The top underground firewood small flame the bright red orange light, is not exuberant, is very lasting. 灶台地下的薪火亮着鲜红的橙光,不旺盛,却十分持久。 What is this?” Luo Shān wrinkled frowns. “这是什么?”洛珊皱了皱眉头 Luo Qiu removed the pot cover, mixes gently in the iron saucepan with the big ladle, the sweet-scented osmanthus syrup that makes, has boiled......, did the outside these jars see? The help installs.” 洛邱揭开了锅盖,用大勺子在铁锅之中柔和地搅动起来,“熬的桂花糖浆,已经熬好了……嗯,外边的那些瓶子看到了没有?帮忙都装进去吧。” How...... Luo Shān subconsciously looks like toward Luo Qiu your here. “怎么会在你这里……”洛珊下意识地朝着洛邱看来。 Luo Qiu said: That side Grandma Xiaochun must prepare food, so many people, nature insufficient position. Therefore, boiled simply here.” 洛邱道:“小春奶奶那边还得做饭,这么多人,自然不够位置。所以,索性就在这里熬了。” But...... can so not be quick?” “可……可也没有这么快吧?” Un, used a special method slightly.” Luo Qiu has brought superficially, then comes out with ladle hold some syrup, tastes the flavor, should be the same.” “嗯,稍微用了点特殊的方法。”洛邱轻描淡写带过,然后用勺子盛出来一些糖浆,“尝尝味道吧,应该是一样的。” Luo Shān subconsciously moistened a point with the finger, then put in the lip. 洛珊下意识地用手指沾了一点,然后放入了嘴唇中。 Grandma Xiaochun said, this is leaves your.” Luo Qiu said in a soft voice: Is she , can leave only your, can preserve the long flavor.” 小春奶奶说,这是留给你们的。”洛邱轻声道:“是她,唯一还能能够留给你们的,能保存久一些的味道。” Therefore you...... you and did pick so many?” Luo Shān looks at Luo Qiu thoroughly, the vision soft, the sound shivered. “所以你……你才、才摘了这么多吗?”洛珊看着洛邱,目光已经彻底软了下来,声音颤抖了起来。 Luo Qiu had not replied, the smile asked that „the Luo Shān elder sister, do not help install these sweet-scented osmanthus syrup.” 洛邱没有回答,微笑问,“洛珊姐,你不是要帮忙装好这些桂花糖浆的吗。” Luo Shān understands suddenly, oneself was short of anything. 洛珊忽然明白到,自己少了点什么了。 ...... …… What installed to be most was this bottle?” “装了最多的是这瓶吗?” Two people raised one bottle of bottled sweet-scented osmanthus syrup to walk, Luo Shān is staring at the basket on Luo Qiu at this time, suddenly asked. 二人提着一瓶瓶装的桂花糖浆走了出来,洛珊此时盯着洛邱手上的篮子,忽然问道。 Luo Qiu is good to say with a smile: „Haven't you contrasted?” 洛邱好笑道:“你不是都对比过了吗?” Luo Shān snort/hum a sound said: My total feeling is you this bottle quite many some...... trades, this is my, I must biggest that!” 洛珊哼了一声道:“我总感觉是你这边这瓶比较多一些……换过来,这是我的,我要最大的那份!” Before the gate, Grandma Xiaochun is depending on the gate, seeing two people to create a disturbance to hold the basket to walk generally, smiles. 门前,小春奶奶正依着门,看见二人打闹一般地提着篮子走回来,会心一笑。 Grandma Xiaochun looks that two people said that eats the reunion. 小春奶奶看着二人说,吃团圆喽。
