Lesson Transcript

年廿八
從我開始記事，我就意識到，中國人最大的節日——春節，其實並不是從春節那天，也就是大年初一開始的，而是從大年廿八開始的。而且不是從歡樂開始，而是從辛苦勞碌開始。我甚至有點怨恨中國的這個“除舊迎新”的古老傳統。就因為“年廿八，洗邋遢”這樣一句完全沒有邏輯的順口溜，我們就要過年前兩日，把家裡所有的東西都洗一遍，擦一遍，就算我現在已經出來工作了，還是逃不過這個厄運，每年都要提前回家，幫手搞清潔。無論你屋企係未邋遢到需要搞。
而我媽，一個傳統中國婦女，就對於這種強迫性的勞動樂此不疲，奉如宗教。我曾經嘗試挑戰佢，“媽，我覺得呢種搞清潔好冇意義，點解每年都要搞？”她頭也不回 的說，“你點解日日都要洗面啊？”我立刻反駁，“專家話，其實人唔使日日洗面咖，咁會破壞皮膚水油平衡⋯⋯”我還未講完，媽媽就鬧我“你就淨係識得駁嘴，快的過去抹乾淨張凳！”
