用善良做底色
松 韵
天气冷得出奇，寒风咆哮着卷起雪花，升腾起呛人的白烟。
温暖的红砖房里，母亲在厨房里忙碌着，柴火在灶坑里噼啪作响，锅上冒着润白的蒸气。我和弟弟早就饿了，正眼巴巴地等待着第一锅酸菜肉蒸饺出笼。
这时，有人叫门。父亲出去片刻，带回一个衣着单薄的外乡人来。看上去是个20多岁的农民，但是很年轻，嘴唇都发青了，显然在风雪中冻了很久。
“这丝棉很好的，你看看。”他说着，卸下肩上的旧麻袋，就要往外掏丝棉。
“别拿了，我不买丝棉。”父亲止住了他，“外面太冷，请你进屋暖和暖和！”“哦，不买？不买啊？这丝棉好，真的很好。”他有些失望，坐在暖和的火墙旁，一时却也并不想挪动。
这时，母亲端上了两大盘热腾腾的酸菜肉蒸饺。“你一定饿了，吃几个饺子挡挡寒吧！”母亲看着仍有些哆嗦的他，把筷子递过去。　　
那人的确是饿了，推辞了一下，便接过筷子狼吞虎咽起来。当他意识到我们一家人还没吃饭时，两盘蒸饺只剩下了小半盘。他尴尬地抬起来，窘迫不安地嗫嚅道：“这……我……我……你们，你们还没吃吧？”
母亲笑道：“还有呢，你要吃饱了啊！”
蒸饺的确还有，可那一笼是纯素馅儿的，一丁点儿肉都没放。
弟弟捏了捏我的衣角，嘟起嘴来。
一盘半的蒸饺，对他来说可能也就六分饱，但无论如何他也不肯再吃了。
接下来的聊天中，我们知道他是安徽的农民，跟父亲弟弟一起到北方贩丝棉，没想到折了本，近年关了，打算把剩下的丝棉低价处理了，好歹挣回返乡的路费。　　“我兄弟的脚冻坏了，他跟我父亲在车站蹲着呢。今儿天太冷，没让他们出来，我寻思把最后一包丝棉卖了，今晚就跟他们坐火车回去。”他说。
母亲听了，感叹道：“唉，你们做点小生意，也挺不容易啊！”
父亲跟母亲轻声说了点什么，母亲便去仓房找了三双半新的棉鞋，还有半面袋的冻豆包回来，递给这个年轻人说：“我们也不是有钱人家，要不然，就把你这丝棉买下了。这双棉鞋你换上，另两双拿去给你父亲和弟弟穿，北方不比南方，脚冻伤了可了不得！冻豆包我们今年蒸得多，你带几个让你的父亲和弟弟尝尝吧！”
年轻人站了起来，拘谨地搓着手，一遍遍地说：“这可咋好呢？这可咋好呢？我这是遇上好人家了！”　　
我们把他送出门时，年轻人一眼瞥见院子里一堆锯好的圆木。他突然放下肩上的包，三步两步抢过去，“我干点儿活再走！”说着便抡起大斧，劈起柴来。母亲正要劝阻，父亲说： “让他干吧！”
寒风中，雪花飘飞，年轻人已经走了，我家院子里，整整齐齐地码着一垛劈得粗细均匀的柴火。
弟弟吃了剩下的半盘有肉的蒸饺，玩去了。我跟父母吃着第二笼纯素馅儿的蒸饺，觉得温暖而香甜。
我一直认为，在这个世界上，最赏心悦目的，是纤尘未染的青山绿水；最温暖人心的，是人与人之间纯洁真挚的感情。 暮年回首时，最有价值的财富，应是一颗恬淡宁静的心，和一份丰富无悔的回忆。而所有这一切的拥有，都需要用一颗善良单纯的心做底色。

Making a good conversation with a stranger can be difficult. Here are some ways to try if you don’t know what to do:
① Talk about a topic common to both of you. The topic can be the food or the weather. For example, “How do you like the food?” But keep it on the positive side! 【小题1】
②【小题2】      “What’s keeping you busy these days?” is a good question if you are talking to a person who doesn’t have an office job.
