老恽是我多年前的左邻,他不爱种花种草,独爱种丝瓜。老恽家有个不小的天井,天井的南墙边搭着一溜竹架。春光明媚时便在竹架下种上了丝瓜秧。几场春雨一浇,那瓜茎便嗤儿嗤儿往上蹿,待蹿过墙头,攀满竹架,叶茂花开时,夏日阳光的抚慰便把一只一只的丝瓜逗引出来了。但丝瓜与丝瓜不一样。有些初生时倒是一样的,长着长着便不一样了。老恽只挑其中的两类采摘,一是弯弯曲曲的,或如钩,或如蛇;二是怪形怪状的,如獐头形、凸腹形。老恽怎么看怎么不舒服,龚自珍所谓 Lao Xuan is my neighbors many years ago, he does not love to spend the kinds of grass, love only loofah.

How old Lao how uncomfortable, so-called from the so-called Gong
