以前的新年,爆竹声“辟哩啪啦”此起彼落十分热闹。而这爆竹声通常只在除夕夜,初一及初二早上,拜天公夜晚及元宵节才听到。
现在的新年,爆竹声少了,烟花“砰,砰,砰”声却多了。我这指的烟花不是普通烟花,而是价值几百至几千块的烟花,那种官方在大日子燃放的烟花,那种在天空中呈现出簇簇花朵,星星的烟花。在我住的住宅区里,从新年前到今天 - 初十一,每晚还是有人在燃放这种昂贵的烟花。
刚开始看到这种烟花在住家附近燃放时,感觉很兴奋,很雀跃,很享受;但,当你在一个新年里,看到十次二十次时,一切灿烂感觉都归于平淡,甚至有种作呕的感觉,烟花的声响从开始的震撼人心到如今的刺耳万分,实在让我大叹无奈。
喜欢看爆竹燃烧后,遗留在地面上红彤彤的纸屑,偶尔搀杂在青草地上,红红绿绿的,啥是好看。而大烟花所遗留下的残迹,却让人不敢领教。
我隔壁家的男主人,不知为何对我们特别好,新年放大烟花时,将整盒大烟花放在我屋前燃放,当烟花朵朵落下时,似乎笼罩着我们的屋子,我们在主人房里舒服的躺在床上望着天空里漂亮的烟花,很美很美。。。很享受很享受。。。
很美很美和很享受很享受,是需要付出代价的。年初一,一打开大门,整个院子都是烟花的纸屑,还有一些巧克力色粉状的物体,年初一不可扫地,唯有不断地祈祷不要吹大风。泊在停车房的车子,也难逃一劫,两辆车都有一点一点,抹不掉,洗不掉,polish不掉的点点痕迹。老公心疼车子,告诉邻居男主人,烟花纸屑掉到满院子,车子也遭殃,岂知道,邻居男主人却装蒜,回应说:“哦!是吗?做么我院子
和车子没中的?" 气炸。。。
新年啊!庆祝啊!虽然爆竹烟花都能增添新年气氛,但,要烧钱,烧一点就好了,选择性的烧吧,如除夕,初一,初二开年,拜天公和元宵,别是又烧钱,不是又烧钱,一而再,再而三的烧钱,有的没的也烧钱。。。烧钱再烧钱。。。
Voei Ton is not afraid of fireworks and firecrackers?
ReplyDeleteSarah is so afraid of both of these and therefore makes me dislike CNY too. I mean, I started get annoyed with the loud sound.
Sarah's Daddy and Mommy,Voei Ton is afraid of fireworks but not firecrackers.
ReplyDeleteHe was holding me tightly that night. I try to persuade him and tell him
to look at the fireworks and described them as stars and flowers but he
just refused and keep on mumbling:"i want to sleep, i want to sleep." Apart
from new year eve, me too get annoyed with the fireworks sound and always
afraid that it will wake Voei Ton up.
