老家的竹

        光阴荏苒,离家二十又一载,对老家的思念虽遥远但更深切。临近中秋,自然让人想起农历八月桂花的飘香,月饼的怡甜。但我更思念老家的竹。
        松,竹,梅。有这三样,文人挥毫作诗,墨客泼墨作画,所谓意境。可是老家在乡下,以前是远近闻名的“穷三段”,会断文识字的没几个,更不要说谈论“三友”了。老家的竹是平凡的,植根于贫瘠的土壤,不依附高雅而存在。
        春雷一响,春雨尽情洒在铺满竹叶的土壤里,新笋破土而出,没几天,绿竹半含箨,新梢才出墙,那是希望的季节。
        烈日炎夏,竹叶薮蔌,竹园是纳凉和谈天说地的最佳场所。藕风气香,竹风韵凉。那是热情高涨的季节。
        白露为霜,池晚莲芳谢,窗秋竹意深。万物开始枯萎,唯有竹叶依然翠绿。有时明月来,弄影草堆里。那是收获的季节。
        北风飕飕,夜深知雪重,时闻折竹声。然而,深埋在泥土里的竹笋, 已经在悄悄发芽,蓄势待发。那是酝酿的季节。
        历史变迁,竹园也静静地记录着那或疯狂或迷惑的年代。男女老少颂扬着领袖的伟大,痛斥着失败者狼狈的下场。可是我知道竹子只希望长久的安宁。
        竹园见证着老百姓生活的变迁,几十年前讨论着怎样吃饱,改善营养,如今憧憬着美貌健康,福寿永享。话题离不开家常里短,却充满和谐安详。
        每次回家,我总是诧异那竹子的坚强,几十年没人照看,却永远默默而挺立。清风拂过,又仿佛在向我点头致意,让人心醉,让人感叹。不久的将来,我要回家为你培上一锹土,让你们知道我的思量。

回复 '明秋' 的评论 : 屋基是有砖石夯实的,一般竹根窜不进屋。这个屋子已经几十年不住人了。思念竹,也思念屋,当然更思念原来屋中的人。

以前的竹子就种房子附近,不怕竹子串根破坏房基吗?
