【一块水果糖】
文/天玉之
七岁的小女孩儿 放学了
一个男人站在屋顶上 就要给众人发撒喜糖
那个年月 糖是稀罕物
她娇小的身躯终于挤进了人群
仰起头 屏住呼吸 ——
慌乱中的大手很粗硬 她的小手总算抓住了一块
是硬硬的水果糖 桔子味的
回家的路 有两里地
她把糖紧紧攥在手心儿里
两个小妹妹 眼睛乌溜溜地盯着糖
兴奋地等着小姐姐
将一块糖切成三小份儿
的确，她们三个, 原本是一块的
甜美 如此糖果
在母亲体内
现在，她们都长大了，人分三地。
每一次重逢 相聚，就像是
品尝一块久违的老式水果糖。。。

【A Piece of Fruit Candy】
By Tian Yu Zhi
A seven-year-old girl, after school
A man standing on the roof was about to throw wedding candies
To the crowd. Sweets were rarities in those years
Her small body finally squeezed into the crowd
She raised her head, held breath ——
Those frenetic big hands were rough, her little hand finally grabbed a piece
It was a piece of hard candy, orange flavored
She held it tightly in her palm,
walking back home two miles away
Her two younger sisters stared at it, with excitement
Waiting for their little big sister
To cut it into three small portions
Indeed, they were originally one piece
As sweet as this candy
In their mother’s womb
All grown up now, live in three different places.
Each time they have a reunion, it feels as if
Tasting an old styled fruit candy...

下面都是我小时候喜爱吃的糖 ：）
记得还有一种糖，叫“老鼠屎”，上课时含一粒在嘴里，别人也看不见，名字不好听，其实也挺好吃的 ：）
