在崇明乡下,把果树称为花果树。杏树、梅树、桃树,都是花果树。时间倒退几十年,小镇的水果摊上,可以看得见的水果大约只有苹果、生梨、香蕉等一些大众品种。这些外来水果,贵不说,经过几百几千里的运输,都有长途跋涉和经风历雨的沧桑感,干瘪、灰暗,无可奈何地躺在水果篓里。偶尔被哪个主顾买去,也是用来看望长辈或者病人的。长辈或病人也舍不得吃,说不定还要转送他人。红颜薄命,越是金贵的水果,其命运越是变幻莫测,最终落入哪个人嘴里的时候,早已失去了原来的容颜和滋味。好在长辈牙口不好,病人胃口不好,水果的滋味好不好无关紧 In Chongming countryside, the fruit tree is called a flower tree.

Fortunately, elders tooth mouth is not good, the patient appetite is not good taste of fruit does not matter
