閱讀下面的文字,完成小題。
針挑土(芳菲)
從湘西回來,和朋友們說起黑妮;說起在鳳凰的偶遇,說起跟她去苗寨跑了一天,看她做的種種事,感慨得很;說想起一句記不全的俗語,“什么什么像針挑土,什么什么像水推沙”,黑妮就是在針挑土;黑妮!黑妮……
一說起黑妮,腦子里一邊浮現(xiàn)她樸素清瘦的樣子,不知為什么有隱隱的心疼。鳳凰是她的故鄉(xiāng),但和我們這些外人在一起,倒是她有幾分害羞靦腆。黑妮如今工作、居住在意大利,做湘西扶貧工作的時間不短了。最初是一幫一地助學,先后幫了幾十個孩子。前些年申請到一筆經(jīng)費,設(shè)計了“湘援游”這個項目。如今每年都會回來幾趟,帶來游人,帶來捐款;關(guān)鍵是,耐心地、苦口婆心地,教苗族婦女如何保存她們優(yōu)美的刺繡藝術(shù)!柏撠熑蔚穆糜巍保牶谀菡f,這一旅游概念正在歐洲興起,它強調(diào)旅行者對目的地生存和文化的責任,在旅游資費中,捐出一部分作為扶持當?shù)乜沙掷m(xù)發(fā)展的基金。
黑妮就在其中做穿針引線的工作。
她在大山里找出苗族傳統(tǒng)文化仍保持良好的村寨,從房屋構(gòu)造、村寨形態(tài)、人倫禮儀……最后落實到婦女們的苗繡——這是可以直接帶來經(jīng)濟效益的活計。傳統(tǒng)苗繡繽紛五彩,靈動有情,但如今在慢慢地退化、消失,機器繡品在泛濫。黑妮,就要跟她們一遍遍地講,什么是好,什么是不好,不要跟著外面轉(zhuǎn),要相信你們的祖母和母親,看著眼前的山水,懷著美好的心愿,做自己創(chuàng)造性的苗繡。
那天,我們上午去的是老家寨,一路顛簸,開了一個多小時,我已經(jīng)在揪著心開始暈車了。最后步行20分鐘進寨。在山間步行其實是美好的,暖暖的冬陽,彎彎曲曲鑲嵌在田野中的蠻石路,清新的空氣,收割干凈的田野……老家寨的婦女已得知黑妮要來,身著節(jié)日服裝的她們已經(jīng)聚集等候,先用快樂的迎客歌在院子里歡迎,然后進屋拿出各自的繡品,等黑妮來評判。
看樣子情況不樂觀。黑妮沒有面露喜色,也沒有慍色。她還是那么一字一句、認真地批評她們:“這個不好,一看就是跟機器學的。”“這個線不好,要用棉線。我們這次帶了些來。”……
黑妮,你這是在做什么?我站在院子里看著這一幕情景,有點發(fā)懵。她從那么遠跑來,又跑了這么久的山路,就是想通過幾句溫和的話塑造她們對美和丑的觀念嗎?堂屋壁板上貼滿各種畫片,是這個家的裝飾墻,也好似所有外來影響的象征:正中一張有些陳舊的毛主席像,把一個更陳舊的大紅雙喜字貼去了一大半,左邊是海南風光照,右邊是明星李小龍的赤身拳照,兩個胖娃娃圖片,一幅小小的西洋畫《泉》。
下午去另一個苗寨,又是近兩小時車程!斑@一個繡得比較好,就是村寨的形態(tài)不如老家寨,建了些新房。”黑妮對一個個目的地都很了解。等到回程,太陽已經(jīng)有倦容了。
晚上我們在沱江邊吉夫開的咖啡館休息聊天。吉夫是湘援游志愿者,今天一路一直是他提著大包的棉線。黑妮的湘援游,就是靠這些當?shù)氐闹驹刚撸蝗∫缓恋馗冻,才運作起來。今天開車的“李萬通”,也有自己的公司。
咖啡館的壁掛上有一個插頁,取下一看,是鳳凰手繪地圖,封面圖案取自傳統(tǒng)苗繡,那五彩靈動的喜鵲,我看得呆了一下,原來這樣好。地圖10元一份,買下可算對湘援游的支持,還可得一枚徽章作獎勵。我想了想,紅著臉買了四份,說回去送朋友。素靜的黑妮眼睛亮了。老天!
這有什么用!我心里說。
有沒有用,真不知道,但我忘不掉他們。我查了針挑土的俗語,原來是這樣說的:“成家好似針挑土,敗家好似水推沙”,“賺錢好似針挑土,花錢好似水推沙”,一下把我的心挑亮了!既然世世代代,要成就一件事都這樣難,從來就這樣難,那么,以難易成敗來衡量黑妮們的行為,有什么意義呢?且寫下這一短文,送上對她的祝福吧。
(有刪改)
