That year, grandmother falls ill be in hospital, the mother regards the home as medium firstborn daughter must daily every night rushs about Yu Jiahe hospital. Still return year young I also can resemble a small tail only like follow in maternal around, also just can help those who become some of in one's power now and then, upright tea sends the assignment of water. But most time, it is a mother one person is busy in busy outside meticulously ground takes care of grandmother, what the home and hospital are found a place for by her is in perfect order.
那年，外婆生病住院了，母亲作为家中的长女不得不每日每夜奔波于家和医院。尚还年幼的我也只能像条小尾巴似的跟在母亲前后，只是偶尔也能帮着做些力所能及的，端茶送水的差事。但多数时间，都是母亲一人忙里忙外无微不至地照顾外婆，家和医院都被她安置的井井有条。
Grandmother lived only in huge ward a patient, appear all the more hollowness. White wall, white lamp, white bed, ward set off desolate all the more. There often is powerful and pungent alexipharmic water odour in air, in such environment I do not have smiling face constantly, recreant, timid.
硕大的病房里只住了外婆一个病人，显得格外空旷。白色的墙，白色的灯，白色的床，把病房映衬的格外凄凉。空气中经常弥漫着浓烈而刺鼻的消毒水气味，在这样的环境里我时常没有笑脸，胆小，怯懦。
Abrupt one day, adjoining bed came an old person, hearing was to break out what disease, quite serious, be delivered by the ambulance. The old person is very poor, disease takes corpulent La Bai to appear on her body be slack and perfunctory, full head is messy and beautiful hoary hair is sent and the story that excessive comes out and vicissitudes of life are in the puce eye eye of not settleclear clear. She is very quiet, look slack, also not the nurse chitchat with inquire after sb's health half, looking at the ceiling, sent one afternoon slow-witted. It is the children in her only people open “ conclave ” in ward doorway stealthily when, just sit a bit some, eyeball turns ah turn, resembling is what to pondering over.
突然有天，隔壁床来了个老人，听说是突发了什么病，挺严重的，是被救护车送来的。老人很瘦，肥大的蓝白病服在她身上显得松松垮垮，满头凌乱而花白头发和不澄澈的深褐色眼眸里是溢出来的故事与沧桑。她很安静，目光呆滞，也不与嘘寒问暖的护士攀谈半句，望着天花板，发了一下午的呆。只是在她的子女们悄悄在病房门口开“秘密会议”时，才稍坐正些，眼珠转啊转，像是在思考着什么。
The first day of hospital of old person occupy, issued very big rain in the evening, can pull open a curtain the following day, it is colourful Yang Gaozhao however. The mother is taking grandmother to make an inspection, be afraid that I go lose, exhort to staying in ward. By every means dull, be obliged to turn over the book that turns over the head of a bed, I do not know most word, read rapidly, unmindful.
老人住进医院的第一天，晚上下了很大的雨，可第二天拉开窗帘，却是艳阳高照。母亲带着外婆去做检查了，怕我走丢，便叮嘱在病房里呆着。百般无聊，只得翻翻床头的书，大多数字我都不认识，一目十行，漫不经心。
Abrupt, my back full marks / transmit glad sound: “ is after I am dead, the tree that plants me to be able to blossom please! ” I am amazed very, turn the head is right however went up the eyes with childish old person, it may not be a bad idea of “ oriental cherry, yulan magnolia it may not be a bad idea, as long as it is a tree that can blossom. In spring March one of these day, between one night, open the flower of full white, passer saw me, stop in succession, assist ’ of wood of my ‘ fine, taking faint scent to leave again, the road ……” old person that goes farther sits very, eyebrow eye has a smile on his face, furrow also is extended. I dare not believe, the language with this wonderful common line is coming out from inside her mouth.
突然，我身后满分/传来欣喜的声音：“在我死后，请将我种成一棵会开花的树吧！”我很是惊奇，转头却对上了老人孩子般的眼神，“樱花也好，玉兰也好，只要是棵会开花的树。在阳春三月的某天，在一夜之间，开满白色的花朵，过路人见了我，便纷纷驻足，赞我一声‘良木’，又带着清香离开，走更远的路……”老人坐得很正，眉眼含笑，皱纹也舒展开了。我不敢相信，这美妙的诗句一般的语言正从她的口中传出。
After a short while, if dimple beautifully to disappear on old person face again,did not see, she restored inhospitality, lay down again afresh, mutter: “ the ending that I once felt best is asperse ashes of the dead into the sea, sea wind howl, spoondrift takes away me all memory …… likes the sea very much all the time, but think better of thinks, again a lot of innocent souls are gobbled up by ocean wave callosity, death is in that. Such one is the place like bad luck fetch, hell completely, call a person how to set one's mind at sleep deeply? ” old person says again suddenly, “ is inferior to doing a tree to stop, the tree that a meeting blossoms, know terrestrial changes in temperature, and not verbal, tell the ways of the world and not the ways of the world, just stand in that silently, opening a flower silently, not try to please the public with claptrap, conspicuous also however, very good. ” her sound unexpectedly so Orphean, I think she is certain a teacher. Everyday she is like listen respectfully like the poem from language, became the drizzle of moist heart in difficult time of my that Duan Hui unexpectedly.
少顷，如花的笑靥又在老人脸上消失不见了，她恢复了冷漠，重新又躺下，喃喃道：“我曾经以为最好的结局是把骨灰洒进大海里，海风呼啸，浪花带走我所有回忆……一直很喜欢海，可转念一想，又有许多无辜的灵魂被海浪无情吞噬，长眠在那。这样一个满是冤魂、地狱般的地方，怎地叫人安心沉睡？”老人顿了顿又说，“倒不如做一棵树罢，一棵会开花的树，知人间冷暖，而不言语，知世故而不世故，只是静静地站在那，静静地开着花，不哗众取宠，却也引人注目，甚好。”她的声音竟如此好听，我想她一定一位教师。每天聆听她如诗般的自语，竟成了我那段晦涩日子里滋润心田的细雨。
Regrettablly after grandmother leaves hospital, I also did not see again pass that old person, do not know her to whether still be returned well if already left, the tree that whether was already planted to be able to blossom. I think, yes, of the meeting.
可惜外婆出院后我就再也没有见过那位老人了，不知她是否尚还安好若已离去，是否已被种成了一棵会开花的树。我想，是的，会的。(文/蒯悦)
