我突然想起了自己的小女儿,现在她在阿姆斯特丹生活。她一会儿就会打电话过来问,“你种上洋葱了吗?”然后,我就会跟她开玩笑说,事实上,我正等她回来帮我呢。这样,我俩便双双陷入回忆之中,因为,我们曾经总在整个金秋时节的午后,一起种洋葱,当她还只有三岁半时,就满怀孩童的热情和欢欣来帮我了。
那天午后,她最后一次陪在我身边,因为她已经准备上学了。她拿着小桶和铁锨无忧无虑、满心欢喜地走来走去,用土盖洋葱时喊着:“晚安”或者“睡觉觉”,稚嫩的声音叽叽喳喳地说个不停。她发现了“洋葱宝宝”、“小洋葱”和“洋葱爸妈”——后者总是偎依在一起。当我们非常卖力地干活时,我刻意去观察自己的孩子,她如此娇小,刚学会走路,挺着一个小圆肚子晃晃悠悠的。
