Plaintrain station.
平川火车站。Lieast totime, LiChengyuanalreadyfirsthisonestep.
李东到的时候,李程远已经先他一步到了。
A large crowdis exchanging greetingsin the stationentrance, LiDongapproachesonehear, immediatelyhas a head wet from the fog.
一大群人正在车站门口寒暄,李东走近一听,顿时满头雾水。Everyonesaidis not the standard spoken Chinese, is not the north of the Changjiang Riverlocal areawords, butis the Guizhouprovincelocalonedialect.
大家说的都不是普通话,也不是江北本地话,而是黔省当地的一种方言。BeforeLiDonghad listenedactuallyseveraltimes, butCaoFangrarelyspoke the dialectathome, heturned over tofamiliar-soundinglyfamiliar-soundingly, over 80%words were actually a pointcannot understand.
以前李东倒是听过几次,不过曹芳在家很少说方言,他耳熟归耳熟,八成以上的话却是一点听不懂。SawLieast, CaoFangbeckonedtowardhimhastily, then thensaidoneto the sidepeople.
见李东到了,曹芳连忙朝他招了招手,接着便回头对身边众人说了一句。ProbablyisbriefedLiDongstatusand so on words, whenshesaid, the LiDongtwouncleshappyfollowedto callone.
大概是介绍李东身份之类的话语,等她说完,李东的两个舅舅就一脸憨笑地跟着招呼了一声。After all is firstmeeting, the LiDongtwounclesare the honestfarmers, could not saywhatflattery, could not achieveto talk and laugh merrily.
毕竟是第一次见面,李东两个舅舅又都是老实的庄稼汉,也说不出什么奉承话,更做不到谈笑风生。LiDongaccidentally/surprisingly, did not shoutactuallysmilinglyseveralunclesthencalculated the understanding.
李东倒是不意外,笑盈盈地喊了几声舅舅便算认识了。WhenLiDongprepares and grandmother, isthattidying upneatold womanexchanged greetings, beforehas displayed the tranquilold womansuddenlyto starein a big way the eyeto looktohim.
等李东准备和自己外婆,也就是那个收拾的干净利落的老太太寒暄的时候,之前一直表现平静的老太太忽然瞪大了眼睛看向他。In the old womaneyesfullissurprisedandshocking, stared atLi Dongyiwordsnot to say.
老太太眼中满是惊讶和震惊,盯着李东一句话都不说。LiDongstaredsomewhatvacant, shoutswith a smile: „Grandmother, Iam a thing, is yourhealthgood?”
李东被盯的有些茫然,笑着喊道:“外婆,我是东子,您身体还好吧?”
The old womandid not speak, has thought sohim.
老太太却是不说话,就这么一直看着他。NearbyCaoFangfrowns, as ifsomenottoohappygeneral, saidseveralwith the dialectto the old woman.
旁边的曹芳皱起了眉头,仿佛有些不太高兴一般,用方言对老太太说了几句。Old womantimeshouldheardaughter'swords, looked atLi Dongyieyesagain, then the old womanforwardedonestep, put out a handto touchLiDongface.
老太太这次应该是听见了女儿的话,再度看了李东一眼,接着老太太向前走了一步,伸手摸了摸李东的脸。LiDongseesherstature is not high, partlysquattedhastily, letting the old womancantrace itself.
李东见她个子不高,连忙半蹲了一下,让老太太能摸到自己。At this timeold personon the face of lightnowaveshowed the happy expressionslightly, touchedonLiDongfacegentlyseveral, then closed one's eyesto give a strangehand signal.
这时候老人平淡无波的脸上才微微露出笑意,轻轻在李东脸上摸了几下,接着便闭眼做了一个奇怪的手势。
The entire process, LiDongentire journeycompels the conditionignorant.
整个过程,李东全程懵逼状态。ActuallynearbyMr. and Mrs.LiChengyuanalsohasLiDongbothunclessomewhatto be anxious, when the old womanopens eyesagain, the peoplelookto the old person.
倒是旁边的李程远夫妇还有李东两个舅舅都有些紧张,等老太太再度睁眼的时候,众人都看向老人。
The old personhas not visitedthem, smilestoLiDongdao: „Walks, goes home.”
老人没有看他们,笑了笑对李东道:“走,回家。”Because the accentis too heavy, LiDongdoes not know that isthismeaning, hethoughtin any caseprobablyisthismeaning.
因为乡音太重,李东不知道是不是这个意思,反正他觉得大概就是这意思。Althoughsomewhatcuriousgrandmotherjustdid do, butLiDonghas not asked that when the old personsaid that thensaidwith a laugh: „Thatline, Grandmother, weboard.”
虽然有些好奇自己外婆刚刚干嘛了,不过李东也没开口问,等老人说完便笑呵呵道:“那行,外婆,咱们上车。”Becausethispersonare many, LiDongadjusted a car(riage)to comefrom the companyspecially.
因为这次人不少,李东特意从公司又调了一辆车过来。HistwounclessawLiDongchetimesomewhatis anxiouswithanxiously, GrandmaLiDongdoes not have the waveactuallyas beforelightly, seems not strange is the same.
他两个舅舅看到李东车的时候还有些紧张和不安,倒是李东外婆依旧平淡无波,仿佛根本不奇怪一样。Boardingtime, LiDongunclealsohasCaopeak their car(riage).
上车的时候,李东的舅舅还有曹峰他们一辆车。Li Dongyifamily/homealsohas his grandmothercar(riage).
李东一家还有他外婆一辆车。Anothercar(riage)scenehowLiDongdoes not know, butLiDong is actually feltat this momentsomewhole bodiesare not comfortable.
另一辆车情景如何李东不知道,可李东此刻却是感觉有些浑身不自在。
The grandmother who ownthismanyyearshas not met, looked that alwaysfeelssomewhatstrangely, the old persontohislookalsodoes not speak, what to dothismadeLiDongnot know should.
自己这位多年未曾谋面的外婆,看向他的眼神总觉得有些奇怪,偏偏老人又不说话,这让李东都不知道该怎么办了。Somewhatprays for rescuelooked atCaoFangoneeyes, actuallyseesCaoFang is also lost in thought.
有些求救似的看了曹芳一眼,却见曹芳也怔怔出神。LiDongwill look atLiChengyuanagain, LiChengyuandoes not say a word, the person of entirecar(riage)as ifdecided the bodyincantationto be the same.
李东再次将目光投向李程远,李程远也是一言不发,整辆车的人仿佛中了定身咒一般。LiDongsees the parentsnot to respond itself, has the faceto continueto withstandold person'svisionpainstakingly.
李东见老爸老妈都不搭理自己,只好苦着脸继续承受老人的目光。
......
……
After a halfhour .
半小时后。
The car(riage)stopsinowndownstairs, LiDonglonggasps for breath, almostescapesjumps downfrom the vehiclegenerally.
车在自家楼下停下,李东才长长喘了口气,几乎逃跑一般从车上跳了下来。Properly speakingLiDongpsychological bearing capacity is not so bad, maystareby the old woman, heis somewhat scarednowat heart.
按理说李东心理承受能力没这么差,可被老太太盯了一路,他现在心里都有些发毛了。WhenLiChengyuanholds the old womanto get out, Lieast tobeing busy atcirclingtoCaoFangside, lowers the sound saying: „Mother, am Iandgrandfather'slongspecialresembles?”
等李程远扶着老太太下车,李东连忙绕到曹芳身边,压低声音道:“妈,我是不是和外公长的特像?”CaoFangis confused saying: „Like, your fatherdid not sayyouwithyourgrandfatheractuallylongis a bit like, withyourgrandfatherdifferencebig.”
曹芳一头雾水道:“不像啊,你爸说你跟你爷爷倒是长的有点像,和你外公差别大的很。”„That......”
“那……”LiDongwas sayingsaw a grandmother in not far awaycarefully, saidin a low voice: „The grandmotheralwaysstares atmeto do, mother, my is somewhat scaredat heart, the grandmotherwill not betoomanyyearswill not have seenme, thoughtme?”
李东说着小心地看了一眼不远处的外婆,低声道:“那外婆老是盯着我干嘛,妈,我这心里都有些发毛,外婆不会是太多年没见到我,太想我了吧?”CaoFanglistened tothissayingto frown, looked atold person one of the not far away.
曹芳一听这话不由皱起了眉头,看了不远处的老人一眼。Sees the old personalsoto look here, CaoFangthinksorwalked, communicateswith the old person.
见老人也看着这边,曹芳想了想还是走了过去,和老人沟通起来。
The old persondid not say a word, CaoFang is actually similarsomevitality/angry, the tonesomewhatis gradually excited.
老人一直一言不发,曹芳却仿佛有些生气,语气渐渐有些激动起来。LiDongquicklygoes forwardto prepareto make peace, at this timeold personspokea few wordssuddenly, the CaoFangexcitingmoodas ifsubsidedgradually.
李东急忙上前准备劝和,这时候老人忽然说了一句话,曹芳激动的情绪仿佛渐渐平息了下来。Looked atLiDong, CaoFangwas knitting the browsto whisperno longerto be then angryfinally.
看了看李东,曹芳最后皱着眉嘀咕一句便不再生气了。
The entire process, LiDongcompel the conditionignorant.
整个过程,李东都是懵逼状态。This is this?
这到底怎么了这是?Hewantsto ask the situation, appearance that butCaoFangis not willingto saymuch, the old personis also quietdoes not open the mouth, LiDonghasto hold the doubtto entertaintwouncles.
他想问一下情况,可曹芳一副不愿意多说的样子,老人也沉默寡言不开口,李东只好揣着狐疑去招待两个舅舅。
......
……Has the dinnertime, LiDonggrandmotherdisplays the differentplaces.
吃晚饭的时候,李东的外婆又表现出不一样的地方。
The old personis not willingon the table, to eat mealalone.
老人不肯上桌,非要独自吃饭。Moreoverdoes not eat the meat, finallyCaoFangnong a smalltableinside, clampedsomevegetarian dishestoher, the old personis willingto eat meal.
而且还不吃荤腥,最后还是曹芳弄了个小桌子在旁边,给她夹了一些素菜,老人才肯吃饭。Waitedto finish eating the food, the oldlogical expressionwas also few, the entire journeyalmostdid not exchangewitheveryone, stoodin the balconylooks at the starry sky.
等吃完饭,老人话也很少,全程几乎不和大家交流,独自一人站在阳台边看着星空。Grandmother'sexuberantappearance, makingLiDongsomewhatnot know whether to laugh or cry.
外婆神神道道的样子,让李东有些哭笑不得。He was roughly looks, oneselfgrandmothershouldhaveanythingto believe that believed inwhatchurchspecifically, LiDonghas not lookedactually.
他大致是看出来了,自己外婆应该是有什么信仰,具体信仰什么教会,李东倒是没看出来。Accompaniedtwounclesto exchangeone, discussedwedding that metCaopeak.
陪着两个舅舅交流了一阵,又谈了一会曹峰的婚事。LiDongsee you latergrandmotheralsostandsnear the window, said: „Father, was the grandmothertired, orImade the grandmotherfirstrest.”
李东回头见自己外婆还站在窗边,不由道:“爸,外婆是不是累了,要不我让外婆先去休息吧。”LiChengyuanturned headto look atone, thinks saying: „Igo, youtalk withyouruncle.”
李程远扭头看了一眼,想了想道:“我去吧,你陪你舅舅说话。”„Igo, youchatted.”
“还是我去吧,你们聊。”LiDonghas not cared, sets outthenAsahidaito walk.
李东也没在意,起身便朝阳台走去。Whenhejustarrived at the balcony, the old personopened the eyesuddenly, decidesvisitshim.
等他刚走到阳台边上,老人忽然睁开了眼睛,定定地看着他。Alsoisthislook, LiDong was really then helpless, the forced smilesaid: „Grandmother, youthink some, myinfant.”
又是这种眼神,这下李东是真的无奈了,苦笑道:“外婆,您老是这么看我,我心里毛毛的。”
The old personcorners of the mouthriseslightly, seems smiling.
老人嘴角微微上扬,仿佛是在笑。WatchedLi Dongyimeeting, the old personsaidin a soft voice: „Theseyearsgood?”
看了李东一会,老人轻声道:“这些年过的还好吧?”Although the old personhas the accent, LiDongunderstood what is heardon the whole, the nodsaid with a smile: „Alsook, a few years agoin the family/home the daydid not feel better, nowfelt better, the grandmotherthistimecame, ordo not walk, my motherverythinksyour.”
虽然老人带着乡音,李东大体上还是听明白了,点头笑道:“还行,前些年家里日子不太好过,现在好过了,外婆这次来了,要不就别走了,我妈挺想您的。”
The old personhas not spokenwith a smile , to continue to look at the starry sky, twitteringsaid: „Iam held responsiblegood that yourprevious generationpasses.”
老人笑着没有说话,继续看了看星空,呢喃道:“我是问你前世过的好不好。”InLiDongxinsuddenlyonecool, the scalpsomewhattingles with numbness, thissayingwhatmeaning?
李东心中陡然一凉,头皮都有些发麻,这话什么意思?
The old personas if not care abouthisreply , to continue to talk during sleep saying: „Luck the calamitydepends on, the child, the womanwill pray that the deityblessesyour, should not be afraid.”
老人仿佛不在意他的回答,继续呓语道:“福兮祸所依,孩子,家婆会祈祷天神庇佑你的,不要害怕。”LiDongswallows the saliva, drysay/way: „Grandmother......”
李东咽了咽口水,干涩道:“外婆……”„Fearednotfearednot.”
“莫怕莫怕。”On the oldfacehas the temperatesmile, lifts the handto touchLiDongfacegently, saidin a soft voice: „Tenyears a great misfortune, destiny! The womanwill giveyouto pray for tenyears, hopes that your whole lifecanbe safe.”
老人脸上带着温和的笑容,轻轻抬手摸了摸李东的脸,轻声道:“十年一大劫,天命啊!家婆会给你祈祷十年的,希望你这辈子能平平安安。”This momentLiDongwhole bodygoosebumpsgot up, what do you mean?
此刻李东浑身鸡皮疙瘩都起来了,什么意思?Whattenyears?
什么十年?According to the lunar calendarcalculates,hispresent rangerebirthcomes backprobablyjust for tenyears, is the grandmotherthismeaning?
按照农历来算,他现在距离重生回来好像刚好十年,外婆是这个意思吗?Butthispossibility?
可这可能吗?LiDongis scared, complexionstifffearfulness.
李东心里发毛,脸色僵硬的可怕。Atthis time, suddenly the scoldingsound that sidetransmittedCaoFang: „Mother, spokewhatnonsense!”
就在这时候,旁边忽然传来曹芳的呵斥声:“妈,又说什么胡话!”CaoFangcomplexionsomewere unattractive, see the sonto be frightenedprobably, saidhastily: „Do not listen toyourwomanto talk nonsense, all day longknowsfrightens the child. The thing, yourwomanlikesfrightening the person, in childhoodfrequentlyfrightenedus, youare busy atyourgoing, hereIarrange.”
曹芳脸色有些不好看,见儿子好像被吓到了,连忙道:“别听你家婆胡说,成天就知道吓唬小孩子。东子,你家婆就喜欢吓唬人,小时候经常吓唬我们,你忙你的去,这里我来安排。”„Mother......”
“妈……”„Ok, youaccompaniedyouruncletheyto chatmeet the day, went.”
“行了,你去陪你舅舅他们聊会天,去吧。”LiDonglooked atoneselfgrandmotheroneeyes, the old personas if not care aboutCaoFangscolding, looks atLiDongwith a smile, towardhisslightly nodded.
李东看了自己外婆一眼,老人仿佛也不在意曹芳的呵斥,笑着看着李东,朝他微微点了点头。LiDongsaw thatis not goodto sayagain,in the pastaccompaniedtwounclesto continueto exchange greetings.
李东见状也不好再多说,过去陪两个舅舅继续寒暄起来。
......
……Chattedoneabsent-mindedly, whentwounclesentered the roomto rest, GrandmaLiDongalsoentered the roomearly.
心不在焉地聊了一阵,等两个舅舅进屋休息了,李东外婆也早早进了屋。Sat a meetingon the sofa, LiDongseesCaoFangto come outfrom the guest room, goes forwardto sayhastily: „Did mother, the grandmotherrest?”
在沙发上坐了一会,李东见曹芳从客房出来,连忙上前道:“妈,外婆睡了?”CaoFangdian, said: „Youalsorest, notearly.”
曹芳点了点,又道:“你也去睡吧,不早了。”„Un, Isleeplater.”
“嗯,我待会就去睡觉。”LiDongwas perfunctoryone, thinksto sayin a low voice: „Is mother, the grandmotherreligious?”
李东敷衍了一句,想了想低声道:“妈,外婆是不是信教?”CaoFangknits the browsslightly: „Does not know.”
曹芳微微皱眉道:“不知道。”„Doesn't know?”
“不知道?”LiDongalsothinksownmotherdeceives herself, CaoFang is actually shakes the head saying: „ Ireallydo not know,has not seenyourwomanto consecratewhatgodin any case, butyourwomandozensyearscontinuouslyexuberant. Yourgrandfatherwhenhas scoldedhermanytimes, butyourwomandoes not listen, is all rightlikes a personwalkinginremote mountains and ancient forestseverywhere.
李东还以为自己老妈骗自己,曹芳却是摇头道:“我真不知道,反正也没见你家婆供奉什么神,不过你家婆几十年了都一直神神道道的。你外公在的时候就骂过她好多次,可你家婆也不听,没事就喜欢一个人在深山老林里到处走。Dozensyears, Ialsobeing disinclinedmanagenow. ”
都好几十年了,我现在也懒得管了。”„That......”
“那……”LiDonghesitantoneasked: „Ithought that you and grandmotherrelate are not quite probably good, how is this?”
李东犹豫了一下还是问道:“我看你和外婆关系好像不太好,怎么了这是?”CaoFangsaw the sonto ask, knit the brows: „Do not talk nonsense, anythingrelates not well. Iandyourwomanare the biologicalmother and daughter, canrelate not well? Ido not likehertalking nonsenseall day long, particularlysaidyou......”
曹芳见儿子问了出来,皱眉道:“别胡说,什么关系不好。我和你家婆是亲母女,能关系不好吗?我就是不喜欢她成天胡说八道,尤其是说你……”„I?”
“我?”LiDongzhiwas saying: „What did grandmothersaymy? Don't Iseemto see the grandmother?”
李东指着自己道:“外婆说我什么了?我好像没见过外婆吧?”„Has seenonetime, yournewly-borntime.”
“见过一次,你刚出生的时候。”CaoFangreturned toone, shakes the head saying: „At that timeyouwere too young, naturallydoes not have the impression.”
曹芳回了一句,摇头道:“那时候你太小,自然没印象。”„What did the grandmothersaymy?”
“那外婆说我什么了?”CaoFangsomewhathesitates, thinksto mutter: „Shelikesspeaking irresponsibly, in any caseis not the word of praise. Do not take seriously, this temper.”
曹芳有些犹豫,想了想才咕哝道:“她就喜欢乱说,反正不是什么好话。你也别当真,她就这性子。”„Hasn't mother, howyour20yearsgone back?”
“妈,那你怎么二十年都没回去?”SeesLiDongalsoto askthistopic, the CaoFangbrowtightwrinklesaid: „Thismatterdo not inquire, pastpassed. Now the safety, yousucceed in one's pursuit, the pastmatterIandyour fatherdo not wantto raiseagain, laterdo not ask.”
见李东又问起这个话题,曹芳眉头紧皱道:“这事你就别打听了,过去的都过去了。现在咱们一家过的平平安安,你事业有成,当年的事我和你爸也不想再提,以后别问了。”Sawmothernotagrees saying that LiDonghasno longerto ask, was actually feltat heartthismattershoulda littlerelatewith.
见老妈还是不肯说,李东只好不再问,心里却是感觉这事应该和自己有点关系。
