(台灣)劉金雄·跳房子
單腳跳房子
就是在意你的房子多過我的
不能侵入別人的地盤
必需單腳跳過你的領空
幸好當時沒有高樓
總是可以一跳再跳
從正午跳到黃昏
還記得當時站在起點
背對天空手中握著寶貝破瓦片
心中暗記那格是你的
千萬不可投入你的房子
頻頻回頭觀望
終於手中寶貝往後一拋
等不及它落地
我回首注視
它竟落在
好遠好遠的童年

跳房子,也叫跳飛機,是一種世界性的兒童遊戲,也是中國民間傳統的體育遊戲之一,趣味性、娛樂性極強,曾深受廣大兒童的喜愛。在20世紀50年代至80年代相當普遍,在有些兒童遊樂場、公園和小學操場等都會有跳房子的位置。有時就算在一塊空地上,只要有一根粉筆或樹枝,小朋友亦會在地上畫起“跳房子”的九個格,然後一起玩。現卻因現代電子產品的沖擊、家庭和幼兒園的忽視等與孩子們漸行漸遠。(百度百科)
GOOD AND FOND MEMORIES
- DEDICATED TO ALL THOSE BORN IN 1940'S, 1950'S & 1960'S
Without any maids, our mothers cooked, cleaned and took care of the whole family. They still had time to chat with neighbors.
Everyone had candy floss, fizzy drinks and shaved ice with syrups. Diabetes were rare and aspirin/panadol cured all illness.
We rode adult's bicycle to school, the richer ones had their own mini-bikes. Ironically, we all had problems with our brakes, and after running into the bushes a few times, we learned how to solve the problem.
Prefects were a fearful lot - more fearful than the teachers. Detention class was like going to prison for a day. We had "public canning" in schools.
NO ONE ever won the big prices on "Tikam". It was a scam but it did not stop us coming back for more.
(Original photo from Florence Enau - reproduced by Sarawakiana@2 / Photo of Florence and a young Malay Boy in 1967 in Kuching)
Motorbikes were rode without helmets. It was rare to ride a private taxi. Taking a bus was luxury - we either cycled or walked everywhere.
We drank water from the tap and NOT from bottles.
We spend hours in fields under the sun, playing football or flying kites, without worrying about UV ray. It did not affect us anyway.
We roamed free catching spiders and did not worry of Aedes mosquitoes. We kept our spiders in match boxes and ready for a fight anytime.
With mere 5 pebbles, girls played endless games and with a tennis ball, boys ran like crazy for hours.
When it rained, we swam the drains and canals to catch "ikan keli", none of us were dissolved in rain.
We shared one bottle of soft drink with friends, NO ONE actually worried about catching anything.
We ate salty, sweet & oily foods, bread had real butter and sometimes condense milk. We enjoyed very sweet coffee, tea, and "ice kacang" but we were not obese because WE WERE OUT PLAYING ALL THE TIME!!
We left home in the morning and played all day till hunger drove us back home. When needed, our parents knew how to find us. NO ONE actually watched over us and WE ALWAYS WERE SAFE.
WE DID NOT HAVE HANDPHONES BUGGING US. We rode bikes or walked over to a friend's house and just yelled for them!
We did not have Playstations, X-boxes, Nintendo's, multiple channels on cable TV, DVD movies, no surround sound, no phones, no personal computers, no Internet. WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them! Our TV was black and white.
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and we still continued the stunts.
We did not have birthday parties till we were 21, i.e. when we started to take noticed of girls.
We have not heard of the word "Bumiputra". We only knew our friends by names. Their parents were Pak Cik and Mak Cik or Uncle and Aunty.
In badminton, we did not change the shuttle as long as it was in flight. Regardless of how many feathers were left in the shuttle, our game continued but still Wong Peng Soon and Punch Gunalan made us proud in Badminton.
Match-boxes were always "chilly" or "king kong" brand - to own a box of matches from a hotel was something great.
Regardless of whether we could afford one, we always knew Maths tuition was Ringgit Malaysia TEN (10) a month.
All parties were held in the Town hall.
We felt please to see a policeman and we were always edger to tell police everything we saw.
Morris Minor and Volkswagen beetle were on our roads - driven alongside Kingswood, Vauxhall, Opel and Chyrsler. Executives of companies drove Peugeot 504. Japanese cars were considered "inferior". There were no traffic lights only roundabouts.
The whole Kampung came together during kenduri and all took turns to "kacau dodol". Chinese, Indians and Malays were all part of kenduri and all of us spoke Malay.

到柔佛鄉下玩,在養豬場看見胖嘟嘟的小豬,興奮得不得了,吵著要買一隻回家養。
陳楨《澳大利亞豬》
以前,每個地方都有位“牽豬哥”(趕豬人)。我記得小時候在柔佛古來,趕豬人的豬公在大路去“上班”時,讓路過的澳大利亞軍車意外撞死了。那時節馬来西亚與印尼鬧對抗,所以還有英聯邦駐軍在馬來西亞。
失去相依為命的猪公,可是非同小可的事。牽豬哥立即沒收入了,而且好多的母豬也要“獨守空閨”;多少小豬沒法子來到這世界上,整個地區的農戶生計就大受打擊。
澳軍給了牽豬哥一些錢,暫時解決了他的問題,但還是無法解決其他母豬的生育問題。後來,澳軍從澳大利亞運輸了一條洋豬來賠他。小孩最開心了,不只是有機會生平第一回看見洋人和洋猪,很多人還第一次吃到他們派送的巧克力。
至於混種豬,有沒有改善本土豬肉質,當時我太小,則不得而知。
黄國輝童年系列 ~ 十三歲之前第二十篇 [牽豬哥]
童年的故事,曾經讓我們嘴角咧笑,讓我們眼眶濕眸。但其實真正讓我們緬懷的並不是那些事兒,而是藏在裡面的那些人,那些物。
那天小學同窗阿涵邊比劃邊講了一句臺語諺語: [身穿一領烏袈裟,盤山過嶺去找妻,看著豬母攻入城,賺錢賺爽賺出名。]。
他問道: [你們知道這指的是什麼?]
我和啟南叔相視大笑,不約而同脫口說: [牽豬哥]。
(編輯配圖取自網絡)
阿涵左手在前,右手在後置於嘴邊,手指頭輕輕起伏,像吹笛,吹嗩吶狀,“答~迪~嘟~~”,“答~迪~嘟~~”。
阿涵吹啊吹,吹出一個童年的記憶故事。
那年月,山村聚落,除了種種挖挖,砍砍挑挑的農活外,家家為了增加收入,消耗每日三餐所剩下的飯菜餿水或蕃藷葉之類的作物,「豬」幾乎都會養幾頭的。
豬隻養大,山村一般都是鄰人幫忙自家宰殺,那時需先提出申請,繳交二十元屠宰稅(註)給政府,鄉公所會派員監殺,我當場見到,在豬皮上像滾油漆般烙下紅紅如紋身般的滾輪印,要不,不允許殺豬的。
當然更多時候,是沒有印的,只要凌晨黑乎乎,聽到鄰近豬隻嚎叫聲,我就知道那是為了逃漏二十元,在偷偷殺豬。
吃飯時,陌生人來,媽媽趕緊端起餐桌上的一盤豬肉藏起來,我也知道,這是偷殺的豬肉,要偷偷摸摸端上桌,偷偷的吃。
我家也有養豬圈欄,三弟還穿開襠褲時,媽媽常年養一頭黑黑的老母豬,多時都是我在餵食,滿臉皺紋,走起路來,一扭一扭,十幾個奶頭粘貼在鬆垮的肚皮,幾將垂拖地面。
霧茫茫的早晨,聽到媽媽跟嬸婆提起,該叫豬哥仔來了。
村落離我家不遠有個老歲人,養頭大豬公,常年趕著豬哥走戶串門。
牽豬哥,牽豬哥,其實不是用牽的,而是用趕的,這其中似乎扮演著一種好事牽成的另層意義!
老歲人胸前掛支自製桂竹笛子,右斜肩背個裝滿溪水的麻竹節筒,水是豬哥仔邊趕邊走邊澆在牠身上,大熱天消暑圖個清涼!
臨近主家時,老歲人抓起桂竹笛,啣在嘴角,“答~迪~嘟~~答~迪~嘟”,吹將起來,讓你知道,豬哥仔上門來了。
豬哥仔體型壯碩,走起路來,一搖三晃慢吞吞地,有兩支白白豬公牙,嘴角又時不時流著白沫沫的豬哥液,後面胯下吊著二粒如特大號愛文芒果的豬哥睪丸,左晃右擺磨蹭著大腿。
那天下午還是霧朦朦,豬哥仔晃上我家豬舍,吃力底晃上老母豬背後,我們一票小孩,站在豬欄坎下,興奮的透過圈舍的間隙往內瞅,像霧裡在看花。
縱使日常不太溫順的母豬,這時顯得無比溫順,但緊要關頭老歲人還是扮演牽成的角色,並用水瓢舀一杓水往牠們身上潑,嘴唇喃唸著,“淋一滴冷水,乎汝生十二水水”,一句豬房花燭吉祥語。
當年我小學三年級,小小腦袋瓜始終不明白,日常不太溫馴的母豬,為何長著獠牙,醜陋無比的豬哥爬上背欺負牠時,顯得那麼地柔順乖巧?
我只明白,過年時媽媽給我20元壓歲錢,豬哥仔來我家一趟,要去了我整整三年的壓歲錢!
家鄉的山澗清冽溪水,流淌過童年世界,隨著歲歲年年變遷,漫淹了一些記憶,牽豬哥這個行業,也因企業方式取代了傳統方式,牽豬哥這三個字成為歷史名詞,它的蹤影只能在記憶的夢裡尋找,夢外的你,能否明白夢裡頭縈繞的又是怎樣一個思情?
【溪流飄葉,飄到那,寫到那,請待續第二十一篇】
註:(台灣)屠宰稅幾年後取消了。

豬寮與菜園:一代人的兒時景觀
我們在《愛墾網》的各國墾友
分享中發現到,有華人的地方
過去都養過豬;豬寮與菜園
是我們這一代兒時的難忘景觀
因為養豬,都會遇過一位
“牽豬哥”(趕豬人)
原來,老一代海外華人
都享有共同的記憶
猪寮洞房记
時代轉變,豬哥“洞房”,還有迎親儀式,成了觀光農場的一件盛事。未知有否“動物老虎秀”之嫌;是不是要年齡限制。(圖片說明:臺灣嘉義新港鄉頂菜園莊接待外籍學生所安排的部分節目)
黃順來憶童年·豬哥弟
我小時候家境貧寒,父親早逝,母親帶著我們幾個兄弟姐妹,在一座椰園落足,以養豬和養些雞鴨為生。
記得當時我們養了三頭母豬。每當母豬叫春要配種時,我們就得去找一位住在小鎮附近的老頭子,他養了一頭雄豬專門給母豬配種,每次收費三塊錢。
全村的人都不知道這個“牽豬哥” 的老頭子叫什麼名字,只知道他的名字有一個弟字,所以大家都叫他豬哥弟,連我們小孩都這樣叫他。
由於母親是女人,要去叫豬哥弟是件很尷尬的事,所以這個 “重任” 就落在我和大哥身上。豬哥弟的住家離我家約一里路,我們兄弟安步當車前往。
據說一隻雄豬一天只能配種兩次,太多次會影響母豬受孕,所以我們要去叫豬哥弟時必須摸黑起早,什至在他未起身前就在他門囗等他,以便捷足先登。
有時候曙光已露,他仍在睡夢中,我大哥等得不耐煩,不管三七二十壹,拉開他那破銅鑼似的嗓子大聲喊,豬哥弟!起來啦!
我們母豬要叫你的豬哥。
他被吵醒後破囗大罵,七早八早,哭父哭母,嘴裏雖然這麼說,但仍然匆匆起床漱洗後,草草吃了早點就跟我們上路。
奉命觀看豬交配 回到家裏我們的任務還沒有完,在交配的過程中,我們必須奉命作壁上觀,因為豬哥弟很狡猾,如果沒有人監視他,他就會草草了事,牽了豬哥去趕第二趟,這種情形很容易造成母豬不能受孕或早流產。
聽說有一次那只豬哥還沒有 “ 盡興” 就被強行拉走,發起火來咬了他一口,從此他再也不敢重施故技了。
其實作壁上觀對我們孩子來說已經是司空見慣,稀松平常得猶如家常便飯,壹點新奇也沒有。
替母豬 “接生” 母豬從懷孕到生產,一共是114天,四個月左右,便瓜熟蒂落,產下小豬。
母豬要生產時在豬欄裏顯得異常驚慌,不斷咬著豬欄裏的木板,我們立刻拋下一些準備好的曬乾茅草,給它打造一個窩。
替母豬 “接生 “又是我們兄弟的任務,原因是母親有更重要的事要做,三姐肖虎,不能觀看母豬生產,否則母豬就會把小豬吃掉或者咬死,村子裏那些大人都言之鑿鑿,我們不由不信。
說替母豬 “接生 “其實也是作壁上觀,這份差事又悶時間又冗長,我們寧願去叫豬哥弟被他罵也不要這份苦差,然而沒辦法,母命難違。
當小豬從母體生出來時,全身被壹層透明的薄膜包住,這時小豬不斷掙扎和翻滾,直到薄膜破裂消失,起初小豬蹣跚地跌跌撞撞,不過很快就會走得很穩,然後去吸母豬的奶。
母豬從開始生第一隻小豬到最後一隻至少要兩三個鐘頭,我們必須守到母豬生產完畢胎盤出來了,然後用鐵耙鏟去埋掉。
母親再三吩咐我們千萬別讓母豬吃掉胎盤,如果吃掉胎盤,在往後的日子裏,母豬的奶汁就大打折扣。
在母豬生產這段時間非常煩悶與無聊,但是我們總是會在煩悶中想出一些玩意兒來調劑壹下,我們去拔一根草心來釣螞蟻。
這種草心像線壹樣細細長長,把它插進螞蟻洞釣螞蟻,這種黑色螞蟻非常大隻,我們在地上畫一個圓圈,把兩只螞蟻放在裏面,用樹枝不斷撥弄它們,使它們發怒打架,非常緊張刺激。
還有一種玩意兒就是去捕捉蒼蠅,然後把它投在蜘蛛網裏,蜘蛛看到有獵物,立刻把它啣走,然後吐絲把蒼蠅纏繞作一團,掛在網上,它的動作非常好看有趣。
最後值得一提的是有時母豬在晩上生產,我和大哥死也不肯去守,母親在豬寮點了兩盞火水燈,然後親自上陣。
如果到半夜還沒有生完,母親不能支持只好去睡一會兒,再起來去看,總之一夜都沒得安眠。
黃國輝《沒落的行業 /牽豬哥/》
一步搖 千里晃
答~迪~嘟~~
答~迪~嘟~~
一笛直撞天下
笛音有腥羶的氣味
高音的部份 如一朵膨脹的火焰
二粒 愛文
如星球一樣
圓熟地 沒有碰撞的可能
忽略溫柔 忽略彼此的黑
亢奮的情緒 喉腔的喘息音
其實跟人類 彼此 彼此
三滴 冷水
乎俚生十二水水(註1)
音調還沒找準
曲子已臨近尾聲
老歲人 匆匆
牽自己入暮色 兀自傷悲
