在母愛邊緣徘徊 2005-12-19

三個月大的我被送去內蒙奶奶家養,初二接回來,兩年後我考上住校的高中,所以我基本上沒和父母一起生活過。

奶奶把我當成小女兒養,雖說在小城鎮,可爺爺是當地百貨公司的經理,走南闖北去進貨開會,也帶我出門多次,或帶回大城市的新鮮東西,我從小也算見過世麵。奶奶可是總把我誇得像一朵大花,什莫都是好的。我從小自信的很,念書也是一等一的好。奶奶心靈手巧,我從小的衣服都是繡著花,縫著精美的的段子邊兒 (後來轉到沈陽念初中時差點被古板的校長剪了喇叭褲腿是後話)。 奶奶每年夏天帶我去沈陽看父母和弟弟,我就這樣慢慢長大了。

我對媽媽很陌生。媽媽從來沒有親過我,至少我至今不記得。但她從來也沒打過我。我無論取得怎樣成就,我媽都能找出不好的一麵。上學用的錢從來沒少過我,但也沒給我買小女孩喜歡的好看不中用的東西。

我人生的第一個打擊是轉到沈陽念初中。從全校第一名到全班第四十名,因為進度不同。從井井有條的爺爺奶奶家,到亂七八糟的雙職工父母家。同學笑我沒有沈陽口音,校長讓我回家換掉奇裝異服的繡花邊褲子。我問媽媽鄰居的女孩在哪裏上學,媽媽說:育才中學,你就別想了,如果你能考上第x中學,我就心滿意足。就著一句話,讓我奮起直追,一個學期追到全班第二名。媽媽的諷刺一直也沒有停頓。後來,我放棄第x中學保送名額,報考一所很好的高中。又讓媽媽一頓臭罵。現在回想十四五歲的我還是很成熟的,有主見的。後來如願以償,考上那所全市最好的高中,媽媽就說,到那兒墊底吧。Can you believe it? I thought I was an adopted kid by then. I accidentally missed a famous university I wanted for years in college entrance exam, she said:” I always knew you don’t deserve it.” When I began to study TOFEL she commented:” Don’t even think about it.” I got my visa, she said:” You will starve in United States, and we couldn’t help you.” I got my first job her in US and she was afraid I would be fired the second day. etc….. 如此諷刺就一直跟在我身邊。However as i said she supported me financially for all my educations.

She asked me to have baby earlier, and she said: 趁著我們沒太老,能幫就幫你,把孩子生好送回來養,就象沒生一樣。It sounded like a bad joke to me. She knows the gaps between us and she didn’t send my younger brother to my grandparents for the same reason. She said she would only help me for 3 years to avoid the same mistake she made. I refused without any hesitation.

She never gets along with my grandparents. I asked her if you didn’t know your in-laws and you didn’t like them, how could you send your first-born kid away to strangers? She said something I didn’t remember. 在他們之間,我永遠是三明治中間的那片肉。Very sad and painful.


Our relationship improved dramatically when they came to visit us after my son was born. They tried so hard. They spoiled my son. My mom always kisses him, hugs him, and spends time with him. And they did all chores without any complaints. When we got home, everything is in order. It was amazing that the third generation brought us together first time in my life. My mom finally praised me that I produced a perfect baby. After they left, I cried when I was doing laundry first time in six months.

我發現實際上我和媽媽還是非常相象。在外待人非常公平,有博愛的心,心直口快。連吃東西的口味都象。奶奶說實話是個愛小家的人,對我是絕對寵愛,但對別人的愛還是很有分寸的,這和我和媽媽不是很象。我從小奶奶不愛吃我沒吃過的東西,現在我都非常喜歡,和媽媽一樣,看來我不是抱養的。現在我就像哄小孩一樣哄著奶奶,同時和爸爸媽媽也很親,母愛在三十歲的時候才翩翩而來,讓我感恩不盡。其實我真是幸運,媽媽當年的批評實際上一直是鞭策我前進的動力,奶奶的寵愛鼓勵是我自信的源頭。

後記:奶奶目不識丁,在那小地方教育出三個大學生(我爸是名校,姑姑被文革耽誤,隻上了師範,我離名校差一點點:-)可教育理念和咱攤子非常接近。
1。小寶寶要多說話。所以她每天和繈褓裏的我說話。
2。和小寶寶說大人話,講道理。她從來沒打過我,失過控,可也很嚴。
3。雙語教育。我從小講蒙語。到4/5歲漢語不好把媽媽嚇得半死,說我跟不上。我奶奶說上學前半年放出去和講漢語的小孩玩就行了,果然如此。
4。在家什莫也不教。雖說她自己不認字,可家裏還是有認字的人的。可奶奶說,依靠家裏成了習慣,就不聽老師的了。我7歲時比我小三歲的弟弟比我認字還多,可奶奶不以為然。
5。從小灌輸學習重要的大道理。雖然上初中還給我洗腳,但學習到半夜她不會因為我少覺而心痛。
6。不大驚小怪。有時考試沒考好,我奶奶也沒施加額外壓力,問我是粗心,還是不會。粗心下次就改,不會呢要去問老師搞明白。她說對我有信心。
7。家裏井井有條。學習時間不看電視(沒有),不聽收音機。我做作業學習的安靜時間最重要。
8。玩物喪誌。(不知對錯)所以我沒學會蒙古舞,而我的繪畫天才也沒被重點培養。(沒培養我水彩初中都拿過省級獎,可惜了。後來合某名校建築學擦肩而過,為終身憾事)
