我六七岁的时候,家乡还比较穷,乡亲们的日子都过得紧巴巴的。对于我们小孩子来说,能填饱肚子就很不错了,几乎没有什么零食吃。于是爆米花便成为稀缺难得的美食。记得那时,每隔好长一段日子,就会有人在巷道里吆喝:“爆米花咧!爆米花咧!”每当听到这几声吆喝,我就会跑得比兔子还快,去门外打探是否爆米花的人来了。 When I was six or seven years old, my hometown was still poor, and the folks were tight-lipped. For our little kids, it’s good to have enough to fill your stomach, with almost no snacks to eat. So popcorn has become a scarcity of rare food. I remember at that time, every other long period of time, someone would cry in the alley: “popcorn! Popcorn!” Whenever I heard these sobs, I would run faster than the rabbit, Go outside to see if popcorn is coming.
