餐廳裝修與記憶如出一轍,兒時厭棄殘舊骯髒,現時竟覺親切懷念,熟悉一磚一瓦、清楚餐廳運作,無須翻查餐牌,就知要吃甚麼。 97Please respect copyright.PENANA1PYQOP0HFV

「而家越執越多。」我邊說邊喝紅豆冰,卻不自覺皺起眉頭。 97Please respect copyright.PENANAY5rGcCz8go
97Please respect copyright.PENANAzEKc72OiYB
有段時間,我對甜食愛不釋手,紅豆冰、可樂、雪糕⋯⋯無甜不歡。如今,居然覺得紅豆冰太甜、凍得敏感牙齒隱隱作痛,但仍有種魔力,促使我默默喝光。97Please respect copyright.PENANAjdd9OjM39h

同一時間,阿媽提起飲筒、喝一口凍奶茶,卻無太大反應。97Please respect copyright.PENANASxnKAl7idO
97Please respect copyright.PENANAkMNnV2jdmt
「好飲?」我問。 97Please respect copyright.PENANA0LiKRJahgF
97Please respect copyright.PENANAzRD4WHbDuU
「都係咁。」 97Please respect copyright.PENANAQG1JG3xgVx
97Please respect copyright.PENANASiMJA6kOFx
「即係?」 97Please respect copyright.PENANAcH88hxTRf0
97Please respect copyright.PENANAZF54RNPtuP
「茶唔夠濃、奶太多,唔好飲。」適逢出街食飯,阿媽就化身為食評家,精簡評論每道菜式,結論永遠一樣:自己下廚最好。 97Please respect copyright.PENANAHVoVky3hvL
97Please respect copyright.PENANAUi28sMYs6J
「你以前話凍奶茶好飲。」在我記憶中,她總顯得雀躍興奮,一口氣喝掉半杯凍奶茶,發出滿意歎茶聲。97Please respect copyright.PENANAk1mZIMfjnJ
97Please respect copyright.PENANAk50F8onNLG
亦因此,我才帶她重遊舊地。 97Please respect copyright.PENANAGH3KVwA0jG

「好耐之前啦,後尾越做越差,又係咁加價,轉食其他好耐,你翻咗學唔知㗎啦。」她邊切西多士,邊回應我。97Please respect copyright.PENANALLFvoI8MlM
97Please respect copyright.PENANAxubxHb1wDq
被她一說,方頓覺炸雞髀份量不及從前,雖是下午茶,價錢已上漲至四十多⋯⋯ 難怪覺得奇怪,卻說不出哪裏不妥。 97Please respect copyright.PENANAxdhKyr8Zi6
97Please respect copyright.PENANAGUFDQKVbBO
我低下頭,大口咬扯着炸雞髀,不知該怎回應。好幾次放假,阿媽都問我會否陪她買餸,可我總嫌麻煩辛苦,找各種理由推搪,窩在家找樂子。 97Please respect copyright.PENANAjoYeRtFWsF
97Please respect copyright.PENANAsuOhrLHoD4
「但嚟翻呢間都好,之前自己食,而家同宗仔你一齊。」話口未完,阿媽將西多士推到正中、 與我分享。 97Please respect copyright.PENANAr4yvaEG4yr
97Please respect copyright.PENANAGKLJJBL55p
西多士切成九等份,大小均一、每角落沾上糖漿及牛油,香氣撲鼻、看得食指大動。我毫不猶豫,馬上大吃一口,頓時飽暖滿足,露出笑容。 97Please respect copyright.PENANAqaKDV2guAt
97Please respect copyright.PENANAq5HEYPKvRA
「唔錯。」我興奮得睜大眼,催促她嘗試。終於,阿媽點頭微笑,認同我說法。97Please respect copyright.PENANAck5JfKUGRZ

說實話,整體味道確實不怎樣,但人流比想像中多,坐滿餐廳六七成。目測大多為街坊及老人家,一坐便閒聊好幾小時。 97Please respect copyright.PENANAqnwCEsocEM
97Please respect copyright.PENANARixakliE6Y
也許,他們並非追求味道,純粹貪求方便,能不時到訪,與朋友閒話家常、細味花樣年華。 97Please respect copyright.PENANAUYfQSIG4fr

有人陪伴,總比孤單一人好。 97Please respect copyright.PENANAp49nEhLT4g

不時追憶,好比絕口不提。 97Please respect copyright.PENANA8Zo4EBcALS

「我哋影張相?」冷不防,阿媽拿出手機。她笨拙按下拍照圖像,生硬伸直雙手、莫名其妙提向高處,手指頓變僵硬起來,無法動彈似的。那圓形按鈕,近在眼前、卻遙不可及。 97Please respect copyright.PENANAfsnhlOFUAK
97Please respect copyright.PENANAK1AuG5sq40
我看不過眼,隨即取出手機:「我影啦。」她異常堅持:「欸我影,㩒到掣就得㗎啦。」期間,她多次嘗試伸直及打橫手機,卻為自己拍下多張自拍。 97Please respect copyright.PENANAr9VKjl03KM
97Please respect copyright.PENANA0gB6LcKP0Q
我按耐着煩躁,試圖心平氣和教導她,指引應如何握緊手機、角度該怎放。幾經周折,終於成功拍下一張自拍,唯獨她雙眼望錯方向,顯得奇怪不自然。 97Please respect copyright.PENANAiDwQfnwBYB
97Please respect copyright.PENANAOxtXGx7VP1
「鏡頭喺呢度,你望咗去邊。」我開始心煩氣躁,耗盡耐性。「鏡頭唔係呢度咩?」她不知所措指向手機中央,「呢度啊。」我指向左上角,「算啦我影。」我發晦氣且拿出手機。不消片刻,已成功連拍幾張,甚至集齊不同角度及姿勢表情。整過程,也不過是兩三分鐘。97Please respect copyright.PENANAVuqcXz5PdR
97Please respect copyright.PENANAGYbYy7lXEE
「咁先好睇。」我展示予她看,她竟悶悶不樂,敷衍回應我。 97Please respect copyright.PENANAvjPf1gNG9A
97Please respect copyright.PENANAHXyZH94W9P
我歎氣一聲、深呼吸,重新教導她。 97Please respect copyright.PENANAiv6PuCFSYz
97Please respect copyright.PENANAqc1YCtos2H
「你試吓再影多次。」 97Please respect copyright.PENANApryqFZECnm
97Please respect copyright.PENANAlNS4WuMuZC
「唔影啦。」 97Please respect copyright.PENANAsiZZkQ1tnB
97Please respect copyright.PENANAQCkygYDldX
「影啦。」 這次,我確保阿媽望向鏡頭位置,才讓其按掣,她終重拾心情、展現笑容。 97Please respect copyright.PENANArTD3xpBQhH
97Please respect copyright.PENANAtizSBQYxUr
每教父母用手機,就莫名火起,不解箇中難度,更不懂他們執着。想自拍,有我還不夠嗎? 97Please respect copyright.PENANA3bk1TnXwqR
97Please respect copyright.PENANArOlXcGz1PV
父母總說不理解仔女想法,其實我們亦然。 97Please respect copyright.PENANAeiian9gzD3

偶爾走到街上,看見一家幾口相處融洽、樂也融融,內心亦不自覺羨慕,羨慕他們不費吹灰之力,就能相處得自然自在、毫無距離感。97Please respect copyright.PENANAyWJAC5Qx8Z
97Please respect copyright.PENANAMMWVIDnJba
我總好奇,到底要怎樣做,才能變得與他們一樣。 97Please respect copyright.PENANAwTBg4usWaK
97Please respect copyright.PENANAJdTabIkL1n
事到如今,我仍然毫無頭緒……吧?97Please respect copyright.PENANAiYeMj8zIba
