第六课 送汤
爸爸有一个星期没有来送汤了。真搞不懂他,已经退休了,又没事做,煮点汤有什么难的?好不容易等到他给我送汤,却不是熬出来的“好东西”。有时连肉块都省了,和以前那醇厚的味道比起来,真是天渊之别!
我已经喝惯了爸爸煮的汤。他第一次为我煮汤,是在妈妈离家的那一天。我当时不知道妈妈为何要离家出走,后来才明白她是认为爸爸没出息。为什么她这么残忍,她可以不要爸爸,怎么可以不要我呢?
自妈妈离开后,爸爸一有机会就再三叮咛,提醒我一定要好好照顾身体,不要等到出了毛病才去补救。我还这么年轻,病魔怎么会找上我?由于嫌他啰唆,我坚持搬出来住。
说也奇怪,自从我搬出来后,一个叫双姨的女人就成了家里的常客。她是爸爸常去的诊所的护士,听说还没结婚。好友笑说或许爸爸早就该再找个伴了,是我妨碍了他。现在好啦,我搬出来,成全了他,也算做了一件“孝顺”的事。
爸爸最近爱往诊所钻,问他什么事,他总是摇摇头。那天,他又问我想喝什么汤,他去煮。我心想:我不是刚说过要喝胡椒猪肚汤吗,他怎么又忘了?爸爸近来根本没把我的话放在心上。
已经过了一个星期了,我忍不住打个电话回家,接电话的竟然是双姨。
“我要找爸爸。”我的语气异常冷漠。
“你爸爸不是给你送汤去了吗?”对方温婉地说。
“送汤?他已经一个星期没来了!”
“……有些事情我不知道该不该跟你说……”
难道他们要结婚了?爸爸以后不再给我送汤了?
“你爸爸得了老人失智症,他不让我告诉你……他煮了汤说要给你送去,我叫他不要去……他说你的家他一定会记得。”
我不知道自己是怎样奔下楼的。我只知道自己拼命地跑,去寻找一个正渐渐失去记忆的老人。他或许已记不起去他女儿家的路……
在一条马路的分界堤上,一个老人手里提着汤罐,焦急地徘徊着。是爸爸!
我急忙上前把爸爸带到附近的公园坐下。爸爸把汤递了给我,他出门已有一段时间,汤早就凉了。我喝着汤,却感觉它还透着丝丝热气。
“爸,这汤真好喝!”
“好喝,我明天再给你送……”爸爸开始喃喃自语。他的眼睛里闪过一种茫然,仿佛在寻找有关我们的记忆,却遍寻不获。
“不用了,爸,我以后不再叫你送汤了!”我坚决地说。
“你……你不要喝我煮的……汤了?”
“不是,我搬回家住,好吗?”
爸爸怔怔地望着我。我知道总有一天,他连我是谁都会忘记。
我决定学煮汤,煮一辈子的汤给爸爸喝。
