「現在天時暑熱,為何要吃糉子?」289Please respect copyright.PENANAtZXrzATxGq
289Please respect copyright.PENANAUrBoOlVXs2
「紀念屈原。」289Please respect copyright.PENANAdM7DluyVFN

「為何要紀念一個自殺的人?」289Please respect copyright.PENANAt0clHHRHuw
289Please respect copyright.PENANAmiTh8xxQWF
「大家的著眼點不在於他的自殺行為,而是讚揚他以身殉國的高尚情操。」289Please respect copyright.PENANAOLFK4QrnZ3

我不敢回話,低頭吃糉子,邊吃邊從廚門隙縫瞥望媽媽。只見她的雙手於不銹鋼煲與砧板之間忙碌來回,間中搞拌煲內食物,偶爾從雪櫃拿出食材。無論怎麼移動,她總是背對著我。憑這不著跡的刻意舉措,我斷定她正在流淚。289Please respect copyright.PENANA15He23rR3d
289Please respect copyright.PENANAvHjezUucoK
我的目光不期然往下掃,落在她的左小腿——一隻人造義肢……289Please respect copyright.PENANAhRFM4GU8zA
289Please respect copyright.PENANAlq9qd6QaK5
忙碌以後,媽媽端著她自己那份糉子,坐在梳化上收看龍舟比賽,看得出神。聽說她自小是運動健將,婚後繼續參與多項運動比賽,在龍舟比賽的戰績尤其彪炳。爸爸反倒是個文藝青年,不擅運動,卻總會抵著日照高溫到比賽場地為媽媽打氣……289Please respect copyright.PENANAtenxcw3YkY
289Please respect copyright.PENANAp9CuLbhNWp
冒著被罵的危險,我上前拿走電視遙控器:「我想看周星馳。」289Please respect copyright.PENANA2odprlZyI8
289Please respect copyright.PENANAAlhTWp0baf
媽媽沒反對,依然安坐梳化上。289Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZGS5j1QIz
289Please respect copyright.PENANAldyp3snQct
又是《西遊記第壹佰零壹回之仙履奇緣》。我對早已滾瓜爛熟的橋段不感興趣,但為了媽媽,只得勉為其難看下去。電影接近尾聲,紫霞仙子為救至尊寶而被牛魔王刺死當刻,媽媽突然失控痛哭起來。哭著哭著,她又無故笑了。289Please respect copyright.PENANAAPKjPBCaf2
289Please respect copyright.PENANAuOaheC8CS8
我沒有安慰她,氣沖沖擸起遙控器,將頻道調回龍舟比賽那邊。289Please respect copyright.PENANAwZnOwpKyj2
289Please respect copyright.PENANAheZQ135K99
「隨你喜歡。」289Please respect copyright.PENANAEoJCZDPmpj
289Please respect copyright.PENANAN9IycK6gVD
沒待媽媽回話,我回睡房上網去。289Please respect copyright.PENANAqnfcn5Sqo1
289Please respect copyright.PENANAAS3OZsALmV
萬事該以自己為先,不是嗎?289Please respect copyright.PENANAiJts8XM8vZ
289Please respect copyright.PENANAFMxx0ECYkB
日落西山。肚子餓得咕咕作響,我才記得自己還沒有吃完午餐。惟想及面對媽媽時的尷尬,我不禁猶豫起來。289Please respect copyright.PENANAMz5l4HNCrI
289Please respect copyright.PENANAH3fslOOg3s
湊巧,媽媽敲門示意晚飯已然備好。289Please respect copyright.PENANA3yoZAZwPAY
289Please respect copyright.PENANAVXgNKGulFf
「不了。我剛剛約了朋友。」我撒謊。289Please respect copyright.PENANAfLvBrJsjUP
289Please respect copyright.PENANAqLxy2gblFz
媽媽非但沒有如常斥責我交待不清楚,甚至輕易放行。這讓我感到意外。289Please respect copyright.PENANAhKR6eX7Jdt
289Please respect copyright.PENANAWmxtyit8pR
更衣,套上波鞋,步出大門之際,我瞥見飯枱上的碟子放有兩隻不完整的糉子——午餐的剩菜。289Please respect copyright.PENANAWhNbePENDg
289Please respect copyright.PENANAs2I0k13T32
我下意識假裝看不見,低頭轉身離開。漫無目的慢步大街上,心念在今午的事情上打圈轉……289Please respect copyright.PENANAQzxObBJ0Lf
289Please respect copyright.PENANAJsXql4ZeFs
我提著兩個外賣飯盒趕回家。一個留給自己,一個遞予媽媽:「別吃糉子。已放涼了一整個下午。」289Please respect copyright.PENANAcvWmP5yulY
289Please respect copyright.PENANA5epFaq5osK
媽媽接過飯盒,默默低頭吃飯。我也保持沉默,靜靜享用飯盒。289Please respect copyright.PENANAqRvilBWHiq
289Please respect copyright.PENANAqNJ9G3lBFt
飯後,我和媽媽齊齊坐在梳化上看電視新聞。新聞提及今午的龍舟比賽。這無疑再次挑動媽媽的神經。289Please respect copyright.PENANAcMLzjemHAx
289Please respect copyright.PENANA8RxgnSfpHV
三年前的龍舟比賽結束後,爸媽在巴士站排隊候車。誰料在巴士抵站之際,媽媽突然中暑失去意識,往馬路那邊倒下。爸爸不顧一切衝前推開她。收掣不及的巴士輾過爸爸,停車一剎車輪剛好壓住媽媽的左腳……289Please respect copyright.PENANA9iZiN8Ffrv
289Please respect copyright.PENANAJvFGbwezgr
我無法回應媽媽的悲傷,正如她無法放下爸爸。289Please respect copyright.PENANAB4k1b3hTna
289Please respect copyright.PENANAWMQdp5BOmh
可以怎麼辦?不知道。289Please respect copyright.PENANAER4doVxuGC
289Please respect copyright.PENANAAArdJSiXi3
我全身突然乏力,有意無意輕倚媽媽身上。媽媽沒有迴避,抵著悶熱,任我靠依。289Please respect copyright.PENANAZWyoGKc5oA
289Please respect copyright.PENANAcBmMoVgHJe
聽嫲嫲說,媽媽曾因爸爸離世生起自殺念頭,惟念及家中尚有我這個乳臭未乾的十歲女兒而堅強活下去……289Please respect copyright.PENANAPNfGX8gluu
289Please respect copyright.PENANAinffpDjlZ9
「媽媽,明年端午節,我不要再吃糉子。」289Please respect copyright.PENANALBDvG7Mt3Q
289Please respect copyright.PENANAIHLZ3v3but
「為何不想吃?」289Please respect copyright.PENANARBdf1Hb5Ke
289Please respect copyright.PENANAotZ90qn4UC
「不想紀念屈原。」289Please respect copyright.PENANAWQfBVIqWVW
289Please respect copyright.PENANAt0kmSjh2Oy
「好的——其實我也不想紀念屈原這傢伙!」289Please respect copyright.PENANAm3c13ruX20
289Please respect copyright.PENANAnVr2TM0hHa
我和媽媽相視而笑,笑看新聞報導裡每名熱情參與端午節慶祝活動的市民。
