一天清晨,太阳花开了,在一层滚圆的绿叶下边,闪出三朵小花。一朵红,一朵黄,一朵淡紫色。乍开的花儿,像彩霞那么艳丽,像宝石那么夺目。在我们宁静的小院里,激起一阵惊喜,一片赞叹。
风筝也有赌气的时候,任你如何摆布,它总要往地上栽。这时的小伙伴决不会张飞似的环眼圆睁,一脚踏翻它的,而总是小心翼翼地检查一番,找出毛病,对症下药。
鱼,我所欲也;熊掌,亦我所欲也。二者不可得兼,舍鱼而取熊掌者也。生,亦我所欲也;义,亦我所欲也。二者不可得兼,舍生而取义者也。生亦我所欲,所欲有甚于生者,故不为苟得也

第二年的端午节,我到离沙地稍远一点的一个村子里采访。这个地方几乎家家房前屋后都是沙枣,就像成都平原上一丛竹林一户人家。过去我以为沙枣总是临沙傍碱而居,其叶总是小而灰,色调总是暗而旧。但在这里,沙枣依水而长,一片葱绿,最大的一片叶子居然有一指之长,是我过去看到的三倍之大。
我绕到山的背后,人却很少,只有一老者在山坡上弯腰寻觅着什么东西。我以为他掉了钥匙或手机之类的物件,白雪上落黑物,应该很容易找到,便上前帮忙寻找,他却提醒我道:“小心别踩了!”
门前广场上临时拉了一些电灯,将堡门下半截依稀照见,上半截和高高在上的门楼混在如墨的夜色里。一个正在熔化铁水的大炉子起劲地烧着。鼓风机使炉顶和炉门不停地吐着夺目的火舌。
第二天打早,母亲便端一小凳,坐在这些水淋淋的盆具间,像一位老到的艺术家,开始了熟练的操作。包粽子说难不难,但真要把它包得大头尖尾,见棱见角——按母亲的说法要“俊模俊样”,也不容易。
