Clang air, inflectional spent Henan opera music for voices in a Chinese opera comes out from the shabby radio in the hand, that chess that cut one corner is silent the corner that lies in the corner, from the steam that appears in the cup, companion is worn blast a tea is sweet, blurred gradually my double eye, the grandfather's back, as if to be before emerge.
铿锵大气、抑扬有度的豫剧唱腔从手中破旧的收音机传出,那颗破了一角的象棋静静躺在墙角的一隅,从杯中冒出的蒸气,伴着阵阵茶香,渐渐模糊了我的双眼,爷爷的背影,仿佛又在眼前浮现。
Play is like life
戏如人生
The grandfather always loves go to the opera, especially Henan opera, without giving thought to when, there always is that shabby radio in the hand, prattle prattle not to know what to singing. He always sits in the place that has sun, slightly have sth in mind of narrow one's eyes, both hands is making time, right incorrect hum on two, warm sunshine becomes his plating aureate. What I look is slow-witted, had gone slowly, the grandfather carries the eye looks, laughed, hold me in the arms in the bosom, follow him to be admired in sunshine slowly together. I ever had asked a grandfather, why to like to follow these sport child Bei of happy happy event, he says: “ this play is like life, after waiting for you to be brought up, can understand ” . After the grandfather goes later, I just understand, he likes go to the opera, it is the lifetime because of his twist. Seventeen years old of 9 accountants that should have the village, more than 30 years old became the secretary of the village, less than 40 have 8 children in the home, he is not familial the biggest child, carry early however removed everything.
爷爷总爱听戏,特别是豫剧,不管什么时候,手里总拿着那个破旧的收音机,咿呀咿呀不知道在唱些什么。他总是坐在有阳光的地方,微微眯着眼,双手打着拍子,对不对的哼上两句,温暖的阳光将他镀成金色。我看的呆了,慢慢走过,爷爷抬眼一看,笑了,将我抱在怀里,跟着他一起慢慢在阳光中欣赏。我曾问过爷爷,为什么喜欢跟着这些戏子喜喜悲悲,他说:“这戏如人生,等你长大后,就会明白了”。后来爷爷走后,我才明白,他喜欢听戏,是因为他坎坷的一生。十七岁九当起了村里的会计,三十多岁成了村里的书记,不到四十家里就有了八个孩子,他不是家族最大的孩子,却早早扛起了一切。
The chess is like life
棋如人生
The grandfather always loves play chess, there always is self-restrained chessboard in the hand, look for person play chess everywhere. Every time the grandma should get angry with him, outside disrelishing him to be in, the edge was waited for too long, but he always laughs slightly, conveniently hands a string of my sugarcoated haws on a stick, study play chess again. I see sweet sugarcoated haws on a stick, see a grandfather wearing presbyopic glasses to write in house keep a picture, my collect goes to write a composition, slowly is thickly dotted word, lost interest immediately, begin to take chess to play, do not know how, chess slides from inside the hand, did not know where to roll, a relic was remained only in my hand. The grandfather heard sound, saw me, but sighed: “ alas, this chess is like life, each pace should consider meticulously to should go next, should consider 4 conditions more even 5 paces, ability may win ” . I am to understand blame those who understand see a grandfather, the sugarcoated haws on a stick in the hand changes the syrup that papers into sticky already. I just understand the grandfather is the truth that tells me to be an upright person now.
爷爷总爱下棋,手里总拿着自制的棋盘,到处找人下棋。每次奶奶都要跟他生气,嫌他在外边待了太久,但是他总是微微一笑,顺手递给我一串糖葫芦,就又去屋里研究下棋了。我就看看甜甜的糖葫芦,看看爷爷在屋里戴着老花镜写写画画,我凑过去一眼作文,慢慢的都是密密麻麻的字,顿时失了兴趣,开始拿起象棋来玩,不知怎地,象棋从手中滑落,不知滚到了哪里,我手里只剩下了一块残片。爷爷听见了响声,看了我一眼,无奈叹了口气:“唉,这棋如人生,每一步都要精心考虑下一步该走哪,甚至要多考虑四步五步,才可能会赢”。我是懂非懂的看看爷爷,手中的糖葫芦早已化成黏糊糊的糖水。现在我才明白爷爷是告诉我做人的道理。
Tea is like life
茶如人生
The grandfather always loves to drink tea, there always is the glass of bubble good tea in the hand. I look at the boiled water in grandfather hand, pharynx pharynx saliva, knowing is how flavor. I secretly lid of teacup of to turn on, tasted, agonized instant excessive became full whole oral cavity, I was spat completely come out. The grandfather is so saw me, laughed, the head that touching me says: “ this tea is really bitter, but you can discover a little while too, in the mouth very sweet, ! I recalled ” seriously, seem such really, nod forcibly, he continues to say again: “ life, also be after be being sufferred from first sweet, had experienced affliction, you just can understand present Gan Tian ” .
爷爷总爱喝茶,手里总拿着泡好茶的玻璃杯。我看着爷爷手中的茶水,咽了咽口水,不知道是怎么个滋味。我偷偷拧开茶杯盖,尝了一口,苦涩瞬间溢满了整个口腔,我全吐了出来。爷爷又是那么看了我一眼,笑了,摸着我的头说:“这茶确实苦,但你过一会就会发现,嘴里很甜,是不是!”我认真回味了一下,好像的确如此,便用力点了点头,他又继续说:“人生啊,也是先苦后甜,经历过苦难,你才会明白现在的甘甜”。
It is Pure Brightness of a year, the boiled water with my general good bubble is put before the grandfather's grave, that lose castle also is found by me, shabby radio has been repaired gave out sound afresh. “ marine month is ethereal month, eye forefathers already was not eye forefathers ” hoarse opera was passed, in tearful eyes dancing, I ased if to see that again thin tall figure, copy Buddha as form of a address for an official or rich man never die.
又是一年的清明,我将泡好的茶水放在爷爷的坟前,那颗遗失的的棋子也被我找到,破旧的收音机被修理好重新发出了声音。“海底月是天上月,眼前人已不是眼前人”沙哑的戏曲传了出来,泪眼婆娑中,我仿佛又看到了那个瘦高的身影,仿佛爷爷从未故去。(文/焦雨萱)
