弥足珍贵的团圆饭
除夕刚过五点钟,饭桌上就已经摆满了白瓷碗碟、鸡鸭鱼肉和蔬菜,满满当当的各色菜肴。二十九岁的罗言掀开一个大碗的盖子,嗅着妻子和母亲煲的汤所散发出的浓香。罗言的儿子博峰美滋滋地咬了一口爷爷给挑好的鸡肉。
六岁的博峰都快一年没见爷爷奶奶了,他满心喜悦与激动。的确,再没有比一家人团团圆圆更高兴的事了。虽然外面天寒地冻,但他们幸福的脸庞却让屋内的空气暖洋洋的,欢声笑语处处可闻。罗言一家三口已经在大城市定居,离家乡很远。不过,他们每年都回老家过春节,以实现他们“三代同堂”的梦想。
几年前,罗言一家的回乡之旅还是漫长而劳顿的。然而如今有了高铁,回趟家就方便多了。五个小时的旅途中,他们兴高采烈地聊着天,心中想的全是甜蜜的家。
刚到家,他们就发现父母早就翘首以待了。家中已经为这个高兴的场合特别布置了一番。从窗上贴得整整齐齐的剪纸,到门上的春联,再到墙上的年画,无不象征着欢乐、吉祥和幸福。就连盘中的那条鱼也表达了对年年有余的企盼——在汉语中“鱼”“余”谐音——祝愿每年的收获都能多于期望。
年夜饭后到午夜前的这几个小时缓慢地流逝着。除夕之夜,一家人都要熬夜守岁。他们围坐在电视机前看春节联欢晚会,一边吃着零食,聊着天,一边包着新年伊始要吃的饺子。在温暖舒适的房间中,罗言讲了他未来的打算。“我希望我们不用再分开了,”他看着年迈的父母,“我爸妈年纪大了,我们应该多陪陪他们。我们会回家回得更频繁一点,也考虑着把二老接到城里,跟我们一起生活。不管怎么说,一家人在哪,哪就是家。”
午夜将至,罗言带着父母妻儿到屋外放鞭炮。五颜六色的烟花把整个村子都照亮了。举国上下,人们都在庆祝自己的好运气,庆祝阖家团聚,庆祝祖国富强。
