今天在家自己幫雙寶上課,
上到英文會話時,
自己加了幾句新的對話。
💡問雙寶說
「where are you come from?」
女兒馬上大聲回答:「Taiwan」
#兒子則是靜靜的看著我, #並指著我的肚子。
好吧,你們確實是從媽媽肚子來的🙄
🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃
話說,明天正式交屋。
現任屋主在幾天前,
不顧仲介反對,
先把鑰匙交給我了。
他說這樣我隨時要量什麼尺寸或是要先打掃,
都比較方便,真的是很感謝。
今天跟昨天,
一家四口在電未開通前,
先去稍微打掃。
昨天很熱,
滿身大汗的雙寶,掃著掃著,
拿起掃把跟寶特瓶的瓶蓋玩起了曲棍球😂
一下打到牆壁,打到門…敲到地板。
看著他們開心的玩超嗨,
比起平常在現在的家,
昨天媽媽我整個很放鬆🙈
其實我們現在住的家,跟那間房子一樣,
四面牆只有一面是與鄰居連接在一起,
在日本每棟大樓每樓層的邊間房子,
因為採光加上較有隱私,
都是最搶手的。
但不一樣的是,
新買的那間小房子,
樓下就是管理員室,而小露台下方也是公用空間。
管理員表示小孩都喜歡跑跑跳跳,
有活力是好事,表示不在意。
其實我們現在住的家的大樓,
管理員人很好,
鄰居人也都很好。
但平常想到若自己是樓下住戶,
即使家中的地板有隔音效果,
還是盡量教導與阻止雙寶在家裡跑跳。
有時候想一想,
自己小時候能室內室外自由跑跳真的好幸福。
想著想著,回頭看看雙寶,
很想讓他們也有相同的自由。
但是家裡有裝潢,且日本近年來的裝潢,
比起台灣的裝潢,真的是不耐用又超貴。
又因為看過太多日本家庭的例子,
從雙寶出生那刻起,
就擔心他們如果把裝潢的牆壁打出洞來怎麼辦之類的😂
所以從明天開始我們家多一個,
雙寶與媽媽能不互相為難的親子空間,
對我和雙寶來說,真的太好了🥺
暫時沒打算裝潢,
沒預算是主要理由之一,
但另外也有其他幾個原因。
就是跟現在住的房子比起來,
覺得舊的木質地板比較耐操,
而且沒裝潢的話,
雙寶不小心去畫了牆壁,
還是把牆壁地板刮傷了等也不會太在意。
而對媽媽我來說,
則是有想圓的幾個願望,
小時候我會站在家中的門框,
爸媽幫我刻上身高,
有朋友有一樣的回憶嗎?
雙寶出生後,
一直很想為雙寶在門框上畫身高。
明天終於可以實現這個願望。
也想去買買看百元商店的DIY裝潢商品來試試。
昨天更是思考著想要自己試著換鎖💪
之前就一直想嘗試,終於有機會了✨
雖然自己即將在幾個月後邁入36歲,
但常常發現還有好多想試,想學的事。
人生就是因此而有趣且豐富。
在這不知道什麼結束的疫情下,
希望雙寶能過的快快樂樂的。
明天開始多一間房子,
也意味著在日本的管理費,修繕積立金,
固定資產稅,都市計畫稅等的負擔都加重了。
但是,我相信,
#孩子的成長, #無價。

我的母親
油畫 75x47cm 1982 香港
母親名皇甫道安,湖南桃源縣人,外祖父時家道中落,但外祖父喜愛讀書,曾收集原版「二十四史」。母親中學上長沙周南女中,後逃婚到上海讀大夏大學,與父親結婚而輟學。生我們兄弟姐妹六人,隨鄉親躲日軍赴重慶,直至1949年父親赴台,從此父母分隔兩岸,至死未得見面。孩子長大,分散各地,母親申請做小學教師,帶我與弟弟在身邊,艱苦度日。
她體弱多病,多次開刀,曾在課室講台暈倒。1950年她帶我投靠鄉下的舅舅。舅舅是「小地主」,土改時被農會吊打,追討金銀財寶,外婆嚇得投水淹死。不久,媽媽也驚嚇得半夜投水,被我發現,馬上叫醒舅舅,急忙點了火把,拿了竹竿將尚浮在水壩中的母親打救上來。多少年後,母親告訴我,那次她看見水底好亮堂,一定是觀世音菩薩來救她了。她在小學簡易木樓宿舍的柱子上長年貼著印有觀音坐像的香烟長盒包裝紙。
盼啊盼啊,到1978年,我們盼來的卻是父親在台北去世的噩耗!1980年,獲准到香港,五年後,弟弟陪她到台北,終於在父親墓前舉香祭拜……。再過四年,她與大姐家和我一家都遷居台北。沒過多久,她病倒了,我們送她往基隆長庚醫院檢查後醫生告知為器官衰竭。
我當年很忙,開始時還沒意識到母親身體病況嚴重。有次我去看她,幫她老搓揉冰涼的雙手,她問我:「茂芹,媽媽偉不偉大?」,我一時楞住了,不知怎麼回答,我說:「我們不要用偉大,妳是了不起的榜樣……」,媽媽拍拍我的手背……。
在基隆簡易治喪會上我哭得差點噎到。媽媽,妳度過多少苦難!妳還以微薄的工資去救濟水災難民,妳教育我寫字要端正,要文從字順,要以忠厚為人之本……,我的偉大的母親啊。我們重修父墓,將母親的骨灰罈放在棺木內父親的肩旁……他們會有說不完的唐詩宋詞……。
My Mother
Oil painting 75x47cm 1982 Hong Kong
My mother’s maiden name was Huangpu Daoan and she was born in Taoyuan County, Hunan. The Huangpu family had fallen upon hard times, but her father was an avid reader who counted an original copy of the Twenty Four Histories in his collection. My mother attended the Zhounan Women School in Changsha then fled an arranged marriage to study at Daxia University in Shanghai. She quit the university after marrying my father. Together they had six children and when the Japanese invaded, she fled to Chongqing with relatives. When my father went to Taiwan in 1949 with Chiang Kai-shek’s government, the cross-strait separation meant they never did meet again in this life. When her children grew up and moved to different parts of the country, my mother applied to become a primary school teacher. She kept me and my little brother by her side and made the ends meet as best as she could.
My mother’s health was always poor and underwent many operations. She even fainted once at the front of the classroom. In 1950, she took me to the countryside to seek refuge with her brother. My uncle was a “small landowner” who had been persecuted by the farmers’ co-operative during the land reforms to cough up his “ill-gotten gains.” My grandma was so terrified that she chose to drown herself. My mother also tried to drown herself one night but I immediately woke my uncle up. He lit a torch and we fished my mother out of the dam with a bamboo pole. Many years later, my mother told me that it seemed so bright under the water that she thought the Guanyin Goddess had come to save her. On a pillar of the simple wooden house used as a dormitory by the primary school, she had pasted a picture of the Guanyin Goddess sitting in the lotus position from the packaging of a cigarette box.
We waited and waited, but when we finally received word from Taiwan in 1978, it was bad news. My father had passed away in Taipei! In 1980, I received permission to go to Hong Kong. Five years later, my little brother accompanied her to Taipei where she could finally burn incense at my father’s grave….Four years later, she moved with me and my big sister’s entire family to Taipei. She fell sick a short while later; when we took her to the Chang Gung Hospital in Keelung, the doctor said that it was organ failure.
I was very busy at the time and I didn’t realize how serious my mother’s condition was at first. As I was massaging her icy-cold hands during one visit, she asked me, “Mau-kun, was your mother great or not?” I was taken by surprise and did not know what to say. I eventually answered: “Let’s not use the word great. You are a wonderful example…” My mother patted the back of my hand…
I almost choked on my tears during the simple funeral in Keelung. Oh, mother, how much you suffered! You even donated what little wages you earned towards flood relief. You taught me to write in a neat hand, to be fluent in my writings, and to lead an earnest life….My mother was a truly great woman. We refurbished my father’s tomb and placed the urn with my mothers’ ashes inside the coffin by my father’s shoulder….They can now talk about ancient Chinese poetry for all time…

#借題發揮
話說,人妻先生都經常俾人問:Where do you come from?
我當然不假思索地回答:Hong Kong, have you been to there? It’s a beautiful and compact city.
有些人會覺得被人問來自哪裡會帶有點冒犯性,是不是因為我不是白人、我口音不夠「倫敦」,所以你才這樣問呢?
我或許在這些方面神經比較大條,我其實連這個想法也沒有過,也是最近看多了’woke’的人發表意見,才知道原來會有人介意。
因為我通常下一句就是:How about you? Are you from London?
你會發現,其實大部分的答案都是No 😂😂😂
我的意思是,其實你從哪裏來都不是問題,問題是在於你怎樣把你的過去轉化成現在。若果你一開始就介意了別人的問題,我猜這個對話很難會令你覺得有興趣繼續下去,而對方也會發現你的冷淡,然後話題就結束了。
相反,你打蛇隨棍上,介紹完自己的香港,再問人家的城市,相信我,英國很大,每個城市和小鎮都有它們有趣的地方。若果對方是其他國家的人,也就更好聊了...
一條問題,你可以默默地寫你的小器簿並覺得自己被歧視了,又或是反守為攻你來我往。好啊,你要歧視我也沒問題,你告訴我你來自哪裡咁巴之閉?全球(除了在自由指數外)能夠把香港比下去的城市,十隻手指頭數得完啊 😅😅😅
#我想講嘅係俾啲信心自己啦
#呢個社會強者為尊
#做好自己自然會得到別人尊敬
#有時間多做義工
#呢樣野我講到口水都乾
#當你比英國人更關心英國時
#你自然就成了英國的一份子
#愛國唔係靠口講嘅
#做出黎就是了
