Début

奶奶,您真早.我妈呢?
她呀,出去买菜了.儿子回来了,总要多买点菜吗?你的朋友呢?他还没有起来吧?
起来了,起脸的.
小平,你的朋友叫什么名字?我又忘了.
叫汤.
哦,汤.
你和他说,到了咱们家就是一家人,什么事都别客气.他一客气,我就不知道怎么办好了.
我们回来以前,在汤姆家住了两天.他爸爸妈妈对我很好,汤姆人也很好.在美国的时候,他给我不少帮助.
哦,这样好,年轻人应该互相帮忙. 哎,记得你爷爷在日本的时候, 拼命念书,人家日本人还是看不起啊. 男儿有什么日本朋友, 只好几个中国学生住在一起.
哎,奶奶,过去的事就别去想他了.
现在好得多了,你在外边念书,我不那么担心了.
李奶奶,您早.
早,汤姆,坐了一天飞机,不多睡会儿.
睡够了,您奶奶,您坐着吧,我们帮您收拾.
多有礼貌的孩子.
李奶奶,您和儿子儿媳妇住在一起,孙子孙女也常来,您的福气真好.
谁说不是呢? 我常说我们家的福气, 都是我那孝顺的儿媳妇带来的.
我奶奶又该说我们家的历史了.
李奶奶,这些事你给我讲讲行不行?
好啊,说起来话就长了. 我和小平爷爷都是沈阳人. 日本人来了以后, 财产呀,土地呀,都不能管了. 离开家跑到了南方, 小平爸爸在上海念书, 才认识了我们这个儿媳妇.
那时候,女孩子上大学的多不多?
没有现在这么多, 我们儿媳妇家相当有钱, 而且一大家人有七八十个, 在苏州,谁都知道他们家。
这样的大家庭规矩一定不少。
谁说不是呢? 他们家的小姐不能在外边念书, 只能请老师到家里教点四书什么的。 小平母亲觉得一个妇女要在社会上独立, 一定得出去念书。 就这样她才跑到上海念书去了。
在那时候真不容易。
在大学的时候,小平的父母是很好的朋友。 可是怎么办呢? 我们什么都没有了,也没有钱。 自己的儿子怎么能和这样一位小姐结婚呢? 小平妈不那么想。
她怎么想?
她说她要找一个自己喜欢的人结婚, 地位和钱都不重要。 她吃了多少苦,才离开了那个大家庭。
那你们怎么到香港来了呢?
他们在英国念完书就来香港做事, 一年以后又把我们接来了, 这样一家人才在香港住下来了。 现在我年纪大了, 家里大事小事都是小平母亲管。 你说我福气好,真实一点也不错。
奶奶,我妈快回来了吧?
快回来了,我们去把早饭弄好吧。
好,走吧。
