邻居的条子
�
昨天下午回家看到门下面有个信封，里面有张卡写着下面的文字：Dear Neighbor: We humbly and prayerfully ask for your patience. We have recently taken in an abandened baby. I realise how loud the crying must be. Your patience with us during this time will be most valued and appreciated. Warm Regards, Jessica & Keith

晚上6点半有人敲门，一对亮丽的年轻人递上一盒曲奇，我们是楼上的邻居，他们推着的婴儿车里有一个一岁多的中国孩子，一对有神的眼睛好奇地看着我，仔细看，孩子的嘴唇是做过修正手术的。学生样的女人说“对不起这孩子才18个月，在孤儿院一直都有肺炎，晚上很闹，我们现在照顾他，正准备办理领养手续”。两个美国的年轻人说这些话时眼睛放光，没有犹豫和彷徨。我说，“条子看到了，别担心孩子的声音扰到我们，有男孩的家庭都能理解”。
�
我内心很佩服这对大概只有30出头的年轻人，但我还得‘装’得老成持重些，“你们还是多观察一下这孩子各方面的情况，想好了要承担的责任，再做决定吧”。我虽然忍不住这样讲，但讲完都觉得自己没啥资格这样对人家说。即便此举是这对漂亮的年轻人的所谓冲动行为，也是一个折射他们漂亮灵魂的高尚冲动。

今天早上，我告诉还赖在床上睡懒觉的敦，“你一直想收养一个弟弟，现在楼上就有一个需要人们爱护的小弟弟。你可以尽一份心帮助他们照顾弟弟”。敦迷迷糊糊地点了点头。我加了一句，“你要有出息，将来要挣到钱，搞定自己的生活，才能有心又有力地真正帮到弟弟”。敦又睡眼惺忪地点了点头。实际上，这句话分量的轻重，敦也许到很多年后才能明白。
