🌙 半开的门与无名的晚餐
🌙 The Half-Open Door and Nameless Dinner
雨夜🌧️,五个人走进恩记。
On a rainy night 🌧️, five people walk into En Ji.
德说:“进来吧,汤还热着🥣。”
De says, “Come in. The soup is still warm 🥣.”
知夏抽出一张OH卡。
Zhixia draws an OH Card.
半开的门🚪。
A half-open door 🚪.
门外是雨,门内是光✨。
Outside is rain; inside is light ✨.
她想起抱着布包的男人,
She thinks of the man clutching a cloth bundle,
想起把馒头藏进怀里的小女孩。
and the little girl tucking a steamed bun inside her coat.
不是贪心,是肚子替明天先担心了🥺。
It isn't greed. It is hunger worrying about tomorrow 🥺.
她写下📝:
She writes 📝:
“他们只需要不用一直害怕。”
“They simply need a place where fear can rest.”
没人问来处。
No one asks where they came from.
只有恩一次次添汤:“再来点。锅里还有🥣🥣”
Only En keeps refilling bowls. “Have some more. There’s plenty left 🥣🥣”
Joey小声说:“今天没想过偷。”
Joey says quietly, “Today, I never once thought about stealing.”
德认真想了想:“那这锅汤算完成任务了😌”
De considers this for a moment. “Then this pot of soup has done its job 😌”
Joey低头喝汤。
Joey lowers his head and takes another sip.
汤很热,热得人想把肩膀放下来🫂
The soup is warm enough to make a person forget to stay guarded 🫂
第二天,桌上留着半个馒头🥟和一张纸条📝:
The next morning, half a bun 🥟 and a note 📝 remain on the table:
“谢谢。平安喜乐!”
“Thank you. Peace and joy!”
知夏把纸条夹在OH卡旁边。
Zhixia tucks the note beside the OH Card.
门还是半开的🚪。
The door remains half open 🚪.
夜里恩煮汤。德问咸吗。
That night, En makes another pot of soup. “Too salty?” De asks.
恩说还行,又说:“下次多蒸几个馒头吧🥟”
“It’s fine,” En replies. Then adds, “Let’s steam a few extra buns next time 🥟”
德笑😊:“你怎么知道还有下次?”
De smiles 😊. “How do you know there’ll be a next time?”
恩盖上锅盖:“先准备着,总没错。”
En places the lid on the pot. “It never hurts to be ready.”
雨还在下🌧️,汤还在冒热气🥣。
Outside, the rain keeps falling 🌧️. Inside, the soup keeps steaming 🥣.
知夏看着那张半开的门,忽然发现——
Looking at the card, Zhixia suddenly realizes—
有些门开着,不是为了等谁进来。
Some doors stay open not because they are waiting for someone.
而是让路过的人知道:这里一直有人。
They stay open so that anyone passing by will know: someone is always here.
汤还热着。🌱
And the soup is still war
