祖母
文/红颜花开
祖母不喜欢我,我们曾住在一个屋檐下,她总是斜着眼睛看我。
祖母会叫,小叮当,过来吃糖。小叮当是我的堂哥,堂哥会耀武扬威地从我的身边走过去吃祖母的糖。
母亲轻轻地叫:小妖回来,帮妈妈缠毛线团。
父亲把家从祖屋搬到了野外为守夜的工人修建的简易房子里,巧手的母亲把我们的家装扮成一个花园,我就是花园里的小公主。
父亲说带着俊雨去看看祖母吧,让祖母认认这个唯一的孙女婿,我一点都不情愿,我是俊雨手心里的宝,要是看到祖母斜着眼睛看我,他会心疼的。
老屋也很老了,斑驳脱落的木屑落满了地面,地面上居然生了苔藓,祖母独自坐在空旷的有点阴暗大堂里,蜷缩在老藤椅子里,像一根皱巴巴的烂木头。
祖母眯着眼睛:哦,小妖回来啦。
我很奇怪,从老屋搬出去的时候,我才六岁,现在我二十六岁,祖母竟然一眼认出了我,祖母说:你和我小的时候一模一样,那个时候呀,我扎着小辫子,爹带着我去看大戏,班主说我模样俊,要是扮上相可以当台柱子,我爹硬是把戏班子赶走了,我妈跟戏子跑了,他就怕把我也拐跑了。
我二十六岁的时候,你祖父就过世了,我守着你大伯和你爹过了一辈子,一辈子哟。
抱我出去晒晒太阳吧,每天坐在屋子里,快发霉了。祖母豁着牙床呵呵地笑了起来,居然笑出了眼泪。
俊雨说,祖母很轻呢,轻盈的像根羽毛。
俊雨说,祖母是个女人。
很奇怪俊雨对祖母的评价,新婚那夜,俊雨才告诉我,抱起祖母的时候,祖母居然落泪:我是嫉妒小妖呢。

Grandma
By: Hongyanhuakai
Grandma didn’t like me. Once upon a time we lived together under one roof, but she was always looking askance at me.
Grandma was always calling, Tinker Bell, come here to have some sugar. Tinker Bell who was my cousin, swaggered by me and went up to grandma to eat sugar.
Mum would call me gently, “Come here, Xiaoyao. Help me wrap yarn.
Dad moved house from our ancestral house to a simple house which was made for workers keeping watch at night. Mum was so ingenious that she made our home garden, where I was the little princess.
Dad asked me to take Junyu to visit grandma in order to let her to be familiar with the only granddaughter’s husband. I didn’t want to do that at all. I am the apple in my husband’s eyes. If he found that grandma looked askance at me, he would be distressed.
The ancestral house was terribly old . The floor was littered with wood chips which peeled off the house everywhere. To my surprise, there was mass growing on the floor. Grandma sat alone in the empty and shadowy lobby. She curled up in the old rattan chair like a piece of crumpled and rotten wood.
Grandma squinted at me, “Well, is Xiaoyao here ?”
How surprised I was ! When we left the ancestral house, I was 6 years old. Now I am 26. But grandma recognized me at once. Grandma said, “ You are the same as me in childhood. When I was young, I had a pair of beautiful small braids. My father took me to see dramas. The ganga flattered me beautiful. If I was dressed up, I could be the mainstay. Father drove away the theatrical troupe. My mother ran off with an actor. So he was afraid that I would be abducted.
When I was 26, you grandpa passed away. I kept company with your uncle and your father for a lifetime. A lifetime!
Please hold me out in the sun. I will get mildewed sitting in the house every day.Grandma laughed out of tears, baring her gums
Junyu said, “Grandma is very light, as light as a feather.”
Junyu said, “Grandma is a woman.”
How strange Junyu’s evaluation of grandma was! It was On the wedding night, that Junyu told me, when he held grandma, grandma burst out crying. “I am jealous of Xiaoyao.”
