    一张照片

    这是我96年回国,在叔叔家中照的一张照片,在湘潭县垱下陇:



    照片中这位老人,是我父亲的表姐,我们从小就叫她静伯伯。她的父亲和我的爷爷是兄弟。我们小时候,她和我奶奶一起住在我叔叔那里,我们经常去,也就和她有了一种亲情。她视力不到0.1,只能大概看到一些轮廓,属于基本失明的状态。但是,她就凭着剩下的那么点点的光线,每天从早到晚摸索着在家里做着一切家务事。因为视力差,走起路来总是深一脚浅一脚,小时候我们不在意,现在想起来她是多么的不容易,从烧火做饭,到收拾房间,几乎都是靠摸索和记忆。老人已经作古,解脱了。要是能够回去20年,我一定要多替她做些事,多和她聊聊天。。。。

    照片的右边,是叔叔家的灶,外面是烧稻草的灶,里面还有一个烧煤的灶。煤比稻草贵,所以一般尽量烧稻草做饭。老人正在把她左边的那些稻草把扎成小小的稻草把,送入灶膛。我小时候很喜欢做这个工作,学会了要把稻草把架空才能在灶膛里烧得旺盛。有时没有烧好,或者稻草太湿,没有明火燃起来,还得用一个竹筒去吹。吹不好,把烟吹入眼里,便是眼泪汪汪一阵子。

    灶口上垛着一把水壶,借做菜的机会烧一壶开水。因为烟熏,这把壶总是黑乎乎的。如果是杀了猪,那么可以在水壶的上方再挂几串猪肉,用不了多久就有货真价实的薰腊肉。那腊肉上一层厚厚的烟灰,需要用洗米水使劲刷才能去掉。

    老人坐的凳子,是我小时候很喜欢坐,也很喜欢拿来玩的玩具。很结实,做的也很精致,能够用上那么多年。
