第二十五章(1/5)

早晨，阳光明媚，空气清新，几只快乐的小鸟，在树林里啁啾。                                                                                                                                                                我起来时，白颖已经帮着母亲，在厨房里忙得热火朝天了。中午这顿饭，是母亲嫁到郝家后，要精心烹制的第一道大餐，所以不容她打丝毫马虎眼。依照本地风俗，这顿午饭，母亲夫家的人不能动手，只能依靠自己和娘家那边的人，上满九九十八道大菜。十八道团圆菜，象征九九归一，母亲生是郝家的人，死是郝家的鬼。作为母亲娘家那边的人，白颖必须尽心尽力，使出浑身解数，帮母亲打赢这场攻坚战。                                                                                                                                                                “左京，快来帮妈…”妻子挥手喊我。                                                                                                                                                                我并不愿意帮母亲一起伺候郝叔全家，却找不到拒绝的理由，只好一咬呀，硬着头皮上。                                                                                                                                                                当我们仨里里外外忙成一团时，白胡子公公，则悠哉地坐在轮椅上，眼睛瞇成一条细缝，手抖呀抖个不停。郝小天和同村几个小孩，在屋子里玩纸飞机，不时传来嬉闹声。郝叔提着一个水桶，穿一件平底短裤，肩膀上搭着一条毛巾，从院子里进来。他刚在院子的井池边，用清凉的地下水冲完澡，这会神清气爽，心旷神怡。                                                                                                                                                                我心底刚刚暗自骂了几句郝叔，他走进厨房，一言不发洗起菜来。哪知母亲放下菜刀，就把他推了出去。搞得郝叔站在门口，进也不是，走也不是，非常尴尬。                                                                                                                                                                “郝叔叔，这里交给我和妈，你去把客人请来，”妻子解围道。郝叔愧疚地看一眼母亲，答应一声，去请客人了。                                                                                                                                                                郝叔离开一会儿，十三碗热气腾腾的农家风味小菜，便被妻子端上了红木餐桌。接着，母亲又上了三碗荤菜，三碗素菜。                                                                                                                                                                “爸，吃饭了…”母亲弯下腰，扶起公公。
