    不一样的年

     
     
    让父母从中国飞来新加坡,与我们一起过年,最初是一件不容易的事。
     
    母亲总是顾虑,父亲的身体不好;何况两人还有共同的“立场”:生怕来到这里,必然会“打搅”我们。直到去岁圣诞节前后,眼看机票快要售罄,经过我好一番“数落”与“强令”,这才主意拿定。
     
    接下来的变化简直是戏剧性的:每一通电话都洋溢着喜悦;每一件经由母亲精挑细选将被带过重洋的寻常物什,都在琐细的讨论中熠熠生辉——自从父亲去年初患病以来,我还不曾见过他俩如此开心、如此兴奋的样子。
     
    期待可以如此美好,胜过灵丹妙药。
     
    期待甚至比已经来临的带来更纯粹的喜悦,因为期待的终点是一个开始;而已经来临的,无论如何,只能以结束告终。
     
    我始终记得一月中的那一天,在夕照尚未褪尽的时候走出办公室,细细咀嚼着这样的期待,一路去机场。十多年来,永远是父母亲守在机场,等他们回家的女儿;而这是难得的一次,我与他们对换角色,并将带他们来到海外的另一个家,过一个不一样的大年。当他们拖着大箱小箱走进我的视线,两张略带疲惫的面庞上,盛开的笑容仿佛春游的孩子。那一幕在我的脑海里定格。我不知道有多少成年子女,可以与那一刻的我感同身受:穿越半个世纪的起伏与辛苦,让许多父母亲都忽略了,其实他们就像孩子一样需要丰盛的营养与细致的呵护。
     
     
    P.S. 经过编辑一再催促,终于写了一则短文。但早报那边的专栏,我不知如何应答。时间暗暗改变了我,我恐怕无心再写时评了。
     
    P.S. 文刊2月10日晚报。

    这次回来大概不能跟你们碰面了,因为问了后不用急着回新一趟处理把PR转到新护照的事情。下次看什么时候有机会再聚吧。有回南京再告诉我一声。
