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。 96Please respect copyright.PENANAIq0P80n95D

「而家越執越多。」我邊說邊喝紅豆冰,卻不自覺皺起眉頭。 96Please respect copyright.PENANAVRZyBeKzpA
96Please respect copyright.PENANArErRj4cSee
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。96Please respect copyright.PENANAKSNI4lwGA6

同一時間,阿媽提起飲筒、喝一口凍奶茶,卻無太大反應。96Please respect copyright.PENANAiuEFeuGMUq
96Please respect copyright.PENANAaxjqQXJ1ji
「好飲?」我問。 96Please respect copyright.PENANAN0ISfKq6lo
96Please respect copyright.PENANAPnL0LyGu5z
「都係咁。」 96Please respect copyright.PENANAbHPn6JXJlf
96Please respect copyright.PENANAIl1hDGWaCU
「即係?」 96Please respect copyright.PENANAFWo0kijmpX
96Please respect copyright.PENANAo0gomPn4cD
「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。 96Please respect copyright.PENANAkNExkKNTIe
96Please respect copyright.PENANAOcxz85o26D
「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。96Please respect copyright.PENANAScBXpt3WQN
96Please respect copyright.PENANANtcmp2bxch
亦因此,我才帶她重遊舊地。 96Please respect copyright.PENANACTCkuJQtcb

「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。96Please respect copyright.PENANAvJSAvNAEbL
96Please respect copyright.PENANAOSPY7ZS0sJ
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。 96Please respect copyright.PENANAfSU4aaBlKK
96Please respect copyright.PENANADmDhhynfzw
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。 96Please respect copyright.PENANALSrm0FwEHq
96Please respect copyright.PENANAsMPYkuH4bj
「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。 96Please respect copyright.PENANANaecrl99YR
96Please respect copyright.PENANA6K0wDBFdGL
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。 96Please respect copyright.PENANAb36kmRpihs
96Please respect copyright.PENANASW4zQixT3Z
「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。96Please respect copyright.PENANA33kudnpCNg

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。 96Please respect copyright.PENANAo8oZVIENeJ
96Please respect copyright.PENANAtJPClAWXRJ
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。 96Please respect copyright.PENANA56MXMr1mkC

有人陪伴,總比孤單一人好。 96Please respect copyright.PENANAlQCXlPMRV6
96Please respect copyright.PENANAkQFsaMc8w2
不時追憶,好比絕口不提。 96Please respect copyright.PENANAZld5ZOxAoE

「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。 96Please respect copyright.PENANAywukcuAWbL
96Please respect copyright.PENANAtiBFMow8MA
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。 96Please respect copyright.PENANATl4zztmoGd
96Please respect copyright.PENANAMOh043aksB
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。 96Please respect copyright.PENANApCqVcbTGVw
96Please respect copyright.PENANAOcdjUBJxsJ
「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。96Please respect copyright.PENANAxcK4ZO5N2n
96Please respect copyright.PENANAblM0YkVs9G
「咁先好睇。」我展示予她看,她竟悶悶不樂,敷衍回應我。 96Please respect copyright.PENANAdbfmo6nteL
96Please respect copyright.PENANAcIXly6MsWz
我歎氣一聲、深呼吸,重新教導她。 96Please respect copyright.PENANATBpWMuzFjK
96Please respect copyright.PENANAdShdz3VOU0
「你試吓再影多次。」 96Please respect copyright.PENANAPMRBcqXuod
96Please respect copyright.PENANApm0rd0Tr6A
「唔影啦。」 96Please respect copyright.PENANA982H4pgUAa
96Please respect copyright.PENANASsulPOw7Ks
「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。 96Please respect copyright.PENANAVH55RG5Uw1
96Please respect copyright.PENANA8e44biXSzQ
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? 96Please respect copyright.PENANAHKbHse5WHR

父母總說不理解仔女想法,其實我們亦然。 96Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6zMaPtnOm
96Please respect copyright.PENANAp5dNeZyugP
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。96Please respect copyright.PENANACLoaX3xNA2
96Please respect copyright.PENANAkUWuZPUGrs
我總好奇,到底要怎樣做,才能變得與他們一樣。 96Please respect copyright.PENANACKATTbr8Ru
96Please respect copyright.PENANAZnJYX9Zmjn
事到如今,我仍然毫無頭緒……吧?96Please respect copyright.PENANAXEiisomXyb
