一常听母亲提起,我有个姑姑,在十二岁那年,投奔亲戚时走失了。那时,我哥哥三岁多,我还没出生呢。所以对我来说,姑姑就有点遥不可及——仿佛是个传说,或是一个故事中的人物。时光匆匆,二十多年过去了,我和哥哥先后参加了工作,哥哥结婚并有了一个两岁多的女儿。这时,谁也想不到,我那失散多年的姑姑竟然出现在了我们的眼前——她找上门来了。冷不丁的,这多少让人有些愕然。一个四月中旬的中午,我上夜班回来,补了一觉后,吃过午饭,母亲说,我俩收拾一下菜园子,该种菜了。 I often heard my mother mentioning that I had an aunt who disappeared when I ran away to relatives at the age of twelve. At that time, my brother was three years old and I was not born yet. So to me, my aunt is a bit out of reach - as if it were a legend or a character in a story. Hurried time, twenty years later, my brother and I have joined the work, my brother got married and have a two-year-old daughter. At this time, no one could think of my aunt, my long-awaited, appeared in front of us - she came home. Cold, how many people some stunned. One mid-April at noon, I came back to work the night shift, after a meal, had lunch, my mother said, we clean up the vegetable garden, the kind of food.
