外婆家的村落是典型的江南水乡,除了村落间的走动,稍稍偏远一些的地面,但凡出行,总要坐船。坐船的埠头距离外婆家约摸七八华里。每逢赶船,就要早早地起来。我们赶到船埠头时,往往天还没有大亮。我等得心急,撅着小嘴埋怨外婆来得太早。每每这时候,外婆总是抚着我的额头慈爱地说,“小小子儿,你甭着急,船会来的,一会儿就来了。你记住:咱们可以等船,可是,船是不会等咱们的呀!”言犹在耳,外婆却早已不在了。 Grandmother’s village is a typical Jiangnan Water Village, in addition to moving around the village, a little more remote ground, whenever the trip, always take a boat. The quay boat from the grandmother about touching seven or eight Huarui. Every boat, it is necessary to get up early. When we arrived at the quay, there was often no bright day.
