有一首很好听的歌曲:“风吹着杨柳嘛,唰啦啦啦啦啦,小河里水流这,哗啦啦啦啦啦,谁家的媳妇她走呀走得忙呀,原来她要回娘家……”
没错,就是回娘家。
今天是农历正月初二,按照民间的习俗,今天是“回娘家”的日子。回娘家,又称“走娘家”,是一种很有特色的民间习俗。在正月初二这一天,出嫁的女儿要回娘家,而且要与丈夫同行,所以这一天又称为“迎婿日”或者“姑爷节”,是作为女婿拜年的“法定日”。
朱雯萱手账日记 16|这个故事有没有打动你?“回娘家”又称“归宁”。在旧时代,“嫁出去的姑娘,泼出去的水”,民间认为嫁出去的女儿在除夕和初一这天不能回门,回门会把娘家吃穷,只有在年初二以后才能带着丈夫、孩子回娘家。
出国前的许多个年头,我一个人带着儿子生活,每到大年二十七八,爸爸妈妈就问什么时候放假,回家过年吧。他们从来不顾及我这个成家后却又单身的女儿会吃穷他们,爸爸总是说,多一双筷子多一个碗,手心手背都是肉。每年我不是年初二回娘家,而是年三十就往家里赶了。
爸爸妈妈的爱,是无私的爱,他们无论什么时候,眼里心里想的都是孩子。
让我们一起阅读《The giving tree》

从前有一棵大树
and she loved a little boy

And every day, the boy would come

在树枝上荡秋千
and eat apples

但是时光流逝
and the boy grew older
孩子逐渐长大
the tree was often alone
男孩并不总是过来玩,
大树常常孤单一人
Then one day the boy came to the tree
and the tree said,
"Come, Boy, come and climb up my trunk
and swing from my branches
and eat apples , play in my shade
and be happy."
有一天孩子来看大树,
大树说:
“来吧,孩子,爬到我身上来,
在树枝上荡秋千,
吃几个苹果,再到阴凉里玩一会儿。
你会很快活的!”
"I am too big to climb and play"
said the boy.
"I want to buy things and have fun.
I want some money!
Can you give me some money?"
“我已经大了,不爱爬树玩儿了,”
孩子说,
“我想买些好玩儿的东西。
我需要些钱,
你能给我一点儿钱吗?”
"I'm sorry," said the tree,
"but I have no money.
I have only leaves and apples.
Take my apples,
Boy, and sell them in the city.
Then you will have money
and you will be happy."
“很抱歉,”大树说,
“我没有钱,我只有树叶和苹果。
把我的苹果拿去吧,
孩子,把它们拿到城里卖掉,
你就会有钱,就会快活了。”
And so the boy climbed up the tree
and gathered her apples
and carried them away
于是孩子爬上大树
摘下树上的苹果,把它们拿走了
And the tree was happy
大树很快乐
But the boy stayed away for a long time朱雯萱手账日记 16|这个故事有没有打动你?
and the tree was sad
很久很久,孩子没有再来看望大树
大树很难过
Then one day the boy came back
and the tree shook with joy and said,
"Come, Boy, climb up my trunk
and swing from my branches
and be happy."
后来有一天,孩子又来了。
大树高兴地摇晃着肢体,对孩子说:
“来吧,孩子,爬到我的树干上,
在树枝上荡秋千,
你会很快活的!”
"I am too busy to climb trees," said the boy.
"I want a house to keep me warm," he said.
"I want a wife and I want children ,
so I need a house.
Can you give me a house ?"
“我有很多事要做,没有时间爬树了。“
孩子说,
“我需要一幢房子保暖。”
他接着说,
“我要娶个妻子,还要生好多孩子,
所以我需要一幢房子。
你能给我一幢房子吗?”
" I have no house," said the tree.
"The forest is my house,
but you may cut off my branches
and build a house.
Then you will be happy."
“我没有房子,”大树说,
“森林就是我的房子。
但是你可以把我的树枝砍下来,
拿去盖房。
你就会快活了。”
So the boy cut off her branches
and carried them away to build his house.
于是那个男孩儿把大树的树枝都砍下来,
把它们拿走,盖了一幢房子。
The tree was happy
大树很快乐
But the boy stayed away for a long time朱雯萱手账日记 16|这个故事有没有打动你?
孩子又有很长时间没有来看望大树了
And when he came back,
the tree was so happy,
she could hardly speak.
"Come, Boy" she whispered,
"come and play."
当他终于又回来的时候,
大树非常高兴,
高兴得几乎说不出话来。
“来吧,孩子,”
它声音喑哑地说,
“来和我玩玩吧!”
"I am too old and sad to play," said the boy.
"I want a boat that will take me far away from here.
Can you give me a boat?"
“我年纪已经大了,心情也不好,
不愿意玩儿了。”孩子说,
“我需要一条船,
驾着它到远方去,离开这个地方。
你能给我一条船吗?”
"Cut down my trunk and make a boat,"
said the tree.
"Then you can sail away...
and be happy."
“把我的树干砍断,用它做船吧。”
大树说,
“这样你就可以航行到远处去,
你就会快活了。”
So the boy cut down her trunk
and made a boat and sailed away
于是孩子把树干砍断,
做了一条船,驶走了
The tree was happy...
大树很快乐
but not really...朱雯萱手账日记 16|这个故事有没有打动你?
但是心里却有些……
After a long time the boy came back again.
又过了很久,那孩子又来了。
"I am sorry, boy," said the tree,
" but I have nothing left to give you
– My apples are gone."
“非常抱歉,孩子,”大树说,
“我没有什么可以给你的了。
我没有苹果了。”
"My teeth are too weak for apples."
said the boy.
“我的牙齿已经老化,吃不动苹果了。”
孩子说。
"My branches are gone," said the tree.
" You cannot swing on them."
“我没有枝条了,”大树说,
“你没法儿在上面荡秋千了。”
"I am too old to swing on branches."
said the boy.
“我太老了,不能再荡秋千了。”
孩子说。
"My trunk is gone, " said the tree.
"You cannot climb."
“我也没有树干,”大树说,
“不能让你爬上去玩了。”
"I am too tired to climb." said the boy.
“我很疲倦,爬也爬不动了。”孩子说。
"I am sorry," sighed the tree.
"I wish that I could give you something...
but I have nothing left.
I am just an old stump.
I am sorry... "
“真是抱歉,”大树叹了口气,
“我希望还能给你点儿什么东西……
但是我什么都没有了。
我现在只是个老树墩。
真是抱歉……”
"I don't need very much now," said the boy.
"just a quiet place to sit and rest.
I am very tired."
“我现在需要的实在不多,”孩子说,
“只想找个安静的地方坐坐,好好休息。
我太累了。”
"Well," said the tree,
straightening herself up as much as she could,
"well, an old stump is good for sitting and resting.
Come, Boy, sit down.
Sit down and rest."
“那好吧。”大树说,
它尽量把身子挺高,
“你看,我这个老树墩,
正好叫你坐在上面休息。来吧,孩子,
坐下吧,坐在我身上休息吧。”
And the boy did
于是孩子坐下了
And the tree was happy
大树很快乐
故事有没有打动你?
那棵树,就好像我们的爸爸妈妈,我们就是那个小男孩,小时候,我们总是围绕在爸爸妈妈的周围玩耍,渐渐地长大后,我们离开父母身边,到远方求学或远方工作,不常回来。每次回家,就是不快乐的时候,不然就是有什么需要的时候。
我总是对爸爸说,''爸爸,我有一些话要单独和你说''。爸爸就知道我是遇到困难了。
而我总是忙工作,忙照顾儿子,平常很少回家。
而父母都会把他们身上最好的最符合我们需要的东西给予我们,我们拿了东西,很快转身就走,我们把时间给了工作和孩子,却留下了渴望我们留在身旁的父母,凝视着渐去的背影。
虽然如此,他们在心中,却是不断为我们祈祷:“希望孩子快乐,祝福孩子一路顺利、平安。”
为人父母者,想的都是无怨无悔的给予,天下间再也不会有任何人给予我们如此盛大、永无休止的爱和恩慈。再也不会有这样的心甘情愿,一切只为儿女好而自己辛苦劳作。
在我的生命岁月里,是爸爸妈妈的爱,让我无论经历多大的困难,从来不退宿,不会被困难打倒。我甚至想起他们的爱,会泪流满面,但是擦干眼泪,就会去面对困难,穿越困难。他们的爱,就像万丈光芒。这光,给我指引,给我保护,给我温暖和希望!!
年初二,和孩子们一起重温这个故事。
岁月静好,不过是有爱在为我们挡着风雨。
在未来岁月里,学会爱与付出。
谢谢你们,我爱你们。
